Xiao Naofu flailed its paws in the air, trying to kick Shi Sui in the process.
Shi Sui had seen through all of its motives. Seeing that he was tall with long arms, he raised the cat even higher.
No matter how much it tried to kick its short legs, it wouldn't reach him at all.
"Right now, it's just you and me here. A misbehaving kitty cat… if you're brewed into soup, nobody will find out." Shi Sui said casually.
Immediately, Xiao Naofu did not dare move as its watery pupils began to well up with tears.
'QQ Am I not the most beloved Huhu in this house?'
'How come once that stupid woman leaves, Shi Sui the Stinky Man is a different person!'
"So, behave, mmkay?" Shi Sui's gentle questioning tone made the little cat tremble.
It hesitated for a few seconds before giving a well behaved, "Meow~Meow~"
'Once Yiyi of the Xiang family returns, watch this Huhu's acting skills ruin you!'
Shi Sui held Xiao Naofu in his arms as he sat on the couch, stroking the cat's back with his slender fingers.
Xiao Naofu endured the humiliation. Since it couldn't resist, it might as well enjoy the process...
Happily, it meowed as it relaxed on the man's long legs, thinking that the muscles on the stinky man were quite comfortable...
The next second —
The cat's ears shot up as it heard the man's confident banter, "I hear cats can be neutered at six months. Hmm, I wonder how old Xiao Naofu is now..."
Xiao Naofu: ...!!!
'Motherf*cker with the last name Shi, can you be any less human!'
'This Huhu is only a baby, how can you think of such a cruel thing!'
'The dogs on Little Rabbit Farm aren't as much of a dog as you!'
As the cat writhed in anger, Shi Sui's thin lips curled into a smile.
His deduction was right.
Xiao Naofu could understand human speech and even had the thinking ability of a small child.
But it probably wasn't very smart to be this easily discovered :)
Outside the manor.
Xiang Yi could see Ah Nan waving at her from afar.
"My sweet, over here, over here!"
Behind him was a magnificent looking van. The entertainment industry was a very realistic place. When Xiang Yi had been despised by the entire internet, the van her company had sent for her was in tatters. Now that "Two Under One Roof" had been streaming for a few days, the company had immediately changed her car.
Ah Nan opened the door for XIang Yi as he rattled off the day's itinerary. "I'll take you to makeup first and change your dress, and you'll be on the red carpet at six o'clock. At 6:30, the annual gala will officially begin..."
"Wait." Xiang Yi interrupted him. "If it starts at six, why are you here so early?"
"My dear, have you not recovered your memory?" Ah Nan said sadly. "Please have the consciousness of a female celebrity! I'm already very late. That little gremlin who wronged you already started fasting three days ago! This morning, she went in to try on her makeup and costume already, and she was so exquisite that she spent two hours doing eye makeup alone!"
Xiang Yi: "..."
'Sorry to disturb, it is I who did not understand the entertainment industry.'
"Oh right, you haven't seen the dress you're wearing today, right? Here, I took a picture."
Ah Nan flipped through his photo album and showed Xiang Yi a picture. "Doesn't it look good? I chose this after very careful consideration!"
It was a bright red dress with strong visual impact.
Xiang Yi pursed her lower lips as a memory flashed in her mind that she did not want to recall. She closed her eyes and softly said, "Thank you, it's beautiful."
Ah Nan noticed nothing unusual as he happily began browsing through the Melon forum. But as he browsed, his face became more sour.
A dazzling title hit him head on: [Take a look at how low* the Vase Fairy's fashion taste is]
*Translator's Note: In Chinese internet slang, the term "low', used in original English form, is used to refer to something very lowly status, often cheap, tacky, or inexpensive, whether it refers to a person or an item of clothing.
