Chapter 226 Jiang An, the Troublemaker

"Wow, it's huge! It must be so exciting to play hide-and-seek with it," Jiang An exclaimed, rubbing Little White's ears.

"That's right, there's definitely enough space. We'll find a renovation company tomorrow, do a full-service renovation, and just choose the design plans. It'll save us so much trouble!"

"Aren't you afraid they'll cut corners and use inferior products to fool you?"

A deep, magnetic voice came from behind her. Yunxia turned her head and saw Bai Ye holding Xiaohua, standing against the light. He seemed to be coated with a halo, which made him look very handsome.

Why are you here?

The man poked Xiaohua's round head and replied with a smile, "It's all because of it. It keeps making a ruckus at home, coming up to people's faces and meowing incessantly. I had no choice but to bring it to Xiaohei and Xiaobai."

Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!

Little Flower, who couldn't understand human speech and was forced to take the blame, saw the black and white cats and meowed affectionately, wriggling her body, trying to break free from her owner's embrace.

With the cat being so cooperative, Bai Ye was in an even better mood. "Look how excited you are. I won't stop you. Go ahead."

A few seconds later, Yunxia looked speechlessly at the tabby cat frantically tugging at her trouser leg. "You, you've gotten even more mischievous in the last few days. Here, you three play for a while, but don't run out of the yard!"

Then, the three cats started running wildly in the empty villa, their paws scraping against the tiled floor.

"Xiaxia, I know a professional renovation team. They can create designs based on the client's preferences that are very trendy and stylish, yet not out of place. As for the price... for my sake, a 30% discount is no problem. Would you like to consider it?"

"That's great! I was just worried about not having any connections. I'll rely on your introduction. Oh, and by the way, include Jiang Chao's villa too. It'll need to be renovated sooner or later anyway."

Although they might not agree!

"Sure, no problem. Won't you show me around?"

The houses were all built by the same developer and had similar layouts. Plus, the rooms were all empty, so there wasn't much to see. But how could I refuse my friend's request?

"Okay, An'an, stop chasing Xiaobai and the others. You can't catch them. Come on, let's see the room."

The space in the detached villa was huge; it took a full half hour to see from the first floor to the third.

"Sister Xiaxia, I'm so tired, I want to..."

"Hiss, I saw it coming a long time ago. This guy's mind is entirely on the cat. Go ahead, I won't stop you, but don't run around like the others. If you fall and get hurt, not only will I get scolded, but you'll also feel bad."

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaxia, I know what I'm doing." After saying that, she went downstairs with a clatter!

Bai Ye stood at the window, looking at the empty space where yellow soil was exposed, and asked, "What are you planning to do with this empty space in the backyard?"

Could it be that they intend to transplant the Su Guan He Ding, which they collected several times in the valley, here?

Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but smile.

"There are plenty of fruits and vegetables in the space," Yun Xia said with a slight smile, raising her eyebrows. "In short, plant flowering plants among the fruit trees. You have to carefully select the varieties so that you can have flowers to see and fruits to eat all year round."

The girl couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the frantic harvest. Bai Ye was momentarily stunned. When he came to his senses, the girl was pointing at the yard and talking animatedly, saying, "Planting peach trees here, planting pear trees there..."

When she got thirsty, she turned around to call him to come downstairs with her, but found Bai Ye staring at her with a mysterious expression.

Touching her soft cheek, she asked in confusion, "Is there something dirty on my face? But wait, I washed my face this morning!"

Awakened, Bai Ye awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, coughed a few times, and said, "Sorry, I was just thinking about something and got a little lost in thought. Xiaxia, could you... say it again?"

Yunxia: ...

I was saying I was thirsty, and you didn't listen to a single word. Now you want me to say it all over again?

"My throat is a little dry, I'm afraid I can't speak anymore. It's alright, once the orchard and flower garden are completed, I'll invite you over to take a look for yourself, that's the same thing. But... what were you thinking about just now? Why is your face so red?"

Hey kid, tell me, is the scene you're imagining a sexually suggestive one?

The girl's eyes lit up, and she had an expression of anticipation, which made Bai Ye, who was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, a little flustered. "What could I be thinking about? Of course, I'm thinking about things at the factory. Xiaxia, don't you feel that it's stuffy in the room? I'm sweating from the stuffiness."

Yunxia glanced at the wide-open window, then at the clear sky, and slightly turned her head to look at her hair, which was being blown about by the wind.

Boredom? Absolutely not!

"It's probably because everyone's constitution is different. I don't feel stuffy. It's getting late. Let's call An'an downstairs and grab a bite to eat."

At this moment, Bai Ye was eager to escape this environment. Upon hearing this, he quickly nodded and went downstairs with her.

On the first floor, Jiang An, covered in dirt and with messy hair, was excitedly crawling on the ground like a tortoise. Little Black, Little White, and Little Flower followed behind him with cat-like steps, their heads tilted, their round eyes never ceasing their curiosity.

"Jiang An, are you itching for a beating? Do you think you're a mop, wiping the floor like that?"

When he arrived, he was a fair-skinned young master; when he left, he was a down-on-his-luck little beggar. If Jiang Chao saw him, he would probably chase him all over the yard with his slippers.

Immersed in the joy of playing with the cats, Xiao Jiang'an was unaware of the girl's anger. As he climbed, he said, "Sister Xiaxia, you don't understand. Only by doing this can the three cats calm down."

Bai Ye strode forward, not minding the dirt, and hugged the three cats to his arms. He turned back and gave the girl a helpless smile, "Xiaxia, be gentle. An'an is still a child."

“You’re almost in high school, you’re practically a little adult now, Jiang An, get up.”

Only then did Jiang An realize something was wrong. He quickly got up and hid behind Bai Ye, peeking out and looking at his sister with a pitiful expression. He knew she was most susceptible to this tactic.

"Come here, I won't hit you. I'll just brush the dirt off you. You can't reach my back anyway."

Sure enough, no one can resist the charm of an adorable boy. Jiang An smiled sweetly, took small steps forward, and even opened her arms quite consciously.

The girl smiled helplessly, took out a towel from her bag, and dusted off the bird's body. However, the force she used was somewhat tinged with personal grudges. Finally, she took out a small comb and combed the messy bird's nest to make it look a little more presentable.

"Alright, it looks like we can barely get out. Let's go home and face the real storm."

Upon hearing this, Jiang An's smile gradually disappeared, and she pouted, looking extremely aggrieved. "No, my brother will beat me to death."

As he spoke, he touched his own buttocks, thinking to himself that they would lose their elasticity soon and become swollen and painful.

Bai Ye, who was holding the three cats in his arms, interjected with a smile: "How about... I go back with you two? With outsiders present, Jiang Chao will be too embarrassed to get angry, and by the time I get home in the evening, his anger will have subsided."
