Jiu Yunchi walked over, his tall figure standing in front of the cat like an iceberg, and a chilling aura enveloped him.

"Who taught you?" he asked.

His eyes lowered, and those icy eyes possessed a reflective power, like a mirror, leaving no one standing before him able to hide.

“Jiu Xintian can’t open this kind of mechanism,” he added confidently.

If Jiu Xintian had this brain, she wouldn't have had such a miserable life over the past five years.

Besides, no matter how much a person changes, it's impossible for them to suddenly become a completely different person. From avoiding him like the plague to now actively seeking him out, Jiu Xintian doesn't have that kind of guts!

If Jiu Yunchi didn't have this much insight, he wouldn't deserve to be the president of Yingchuang.

Jiu Yunchi's aura was incredibly strong; it was a powerful force that didn't need to be deliberately released, but was ingrained in every inch of his bones and blood! How could the Jiu family have produced such a freak? It's truly defying the heavens!

But the cat wasn't intimidated by his imposing manner at all, and said with a smile, "Do I need to be taught? Isn't it very simple?"

The question was asked so naturally! It made it seem as if Jiu Yunchi was making a fuss over nothing!

Jiu Yunchi didn't move; his frost-like eyes remained fixed on the cat.

The cat glanced at him too, standing there like an ice cube in front of her, clearly dissatisfied with her getting away with it so easily.

Cat pouted and said, "Just because it couldn't be opened in the past doesn't mean it can't be opened now. You're silly, but Cat isn't."

Those phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of coldness settling in.

Ignoring Jiu Yunchi, Maomao walked straight into the room.

Jiu Yunchi is a smart man, and not only that, he is not a worldly person! Maomao is certain that others might attribute her changes to a drastic personality shift, but Jiu Yunchi would not!

He really will get to the bottom of things, and maybe he'll figure out that although she still has the same physical appearance, her inner self has been replaced!

However, everything is left unsaid; even if Jiu Yunchi knew, he wouldn't say it.

This is because Jiu Xintian's presence in the Jiu family is almost zero. As long as the cat doesn't pose any threat to the Jiu family, then she is Jiu Xintian, replacing the original owner.

So even though Jiu Yunchi is a strange person, Maomao is happy to take the initiative to bully him because she carries a lot of secrets alone in this human world, which is very tiring!

Why not have a younger brother with an incredibly brilliant mind to share the burden?

The cat excitedly circled the room, fully expecting to find some treasure, but... nothing at all!

This is just a simple lounge, exquisitely decorated, with a large bed that looks very comfortable. It's purely a bedroom, and there's nothing related to work in it.

It seems that Jiu Yunchi slept here when he wasn't going home.

The cat was slightly disappointed.

"You're even more boring than the cat." The cat jumped up and sat on the big bed, bouncing around.

In Hell, the cat was idle because she didn't have a proper job. But Jiu Yunchi was the other extreme, too diligent and clean like a precise machine. How could the fangirls downstairs be satisfied?

Even if you're incredibly seductive, how could you possibly seduce a robot like that?

"I'll find you something to do," Jiu Yunchi said, standing at the door.

This hidden lounge wasn't a secret to begin with, and that display shelf was just a collection of trinkets. But even though it was just a collection of trinkets, this was the first time the cat had ever opened it.

Jiu Yebai had also been to his office and lingered in front of his antique display shelf countless times. Jiu Yunchi hoped that he could figure something out, but unfortunately, Jiu Yebai didn't have that kind of brain.

"What is it?" Cat looked at Jiu Yunchi.

Jiu Yunchi bent down slightly and pulled a box out from under the bed. The wooden box had a very high-quality feel. He opened it in front of the cat, and inside was a whole box of wooden parts.

"What's this?" the cat asked, kicking the box out of boredom.

“It’s a little gadget,” Jiu Yunchi said. “You’ll know once you put it together.”

The cat looked up, her crescent-shaped eyes filled with doubt. Suddenly, she squatted down and started rummaging through the box of things. They were scattered and fragmented, and it was impossible to tell what they were.

She made a decision quickly, saying, "I'll go for it. If I find out you're playing me, you're finished."

Cat is probably the first person to dare to threaten Jiu Yunchi like this.

However, Jiu Yunchi only glanced at her indifferently, and seeing that she behaved herself, he turned around and went out to work.

Almost two hours later, Lin Yu delivered some documents and asked him whether he wanted to have lunch at the company or have the restaurant deliver them.

Jiu Yunchi checked the time.

13:23

He suddenly stood up and walked towards the lounge, forgetting all about the cat.

He added, "Have the restaurant deliver this; it's for two people."

Lin Yu left quickly.

When Jiu Yunchi opened the door, he was somewhat surprised to see the cat sleeping soundly on the bed. She was curled up, and the sunlight was streaming in unrestrainedly, falling on her, making her look just like a cat stretching out its limbs.

Jiu Yunchi: "..."

His gaze shifted to the box, but his eternally aloof and noble face showed a hint of surprise, which flashed across his face.

A small wooden phoenix stood on the ground, dragging its long tail!

The phoenix is ​​exquisitely crafted; it's hard to imagine that such a magnificent object could be made from just wood!

It stood there proudly, wings folded, eyes closed, lifelike, as if asleep.

Jiu Yunchi walked over involuntarily. The parts in the box had all been used up, leaving only a small cylindrical wooden tube. He reached out, picked it up, held it up to the phoenix, and inserted it into a groove on the back of its head.

This last step was like flipping a switch!

The little phoenix suddenly opened its eyes! It flapped its wings and flew in a circle in the air! Finally, it landed on the bed and stood next to the cat. Its head was lowered, and it gently nudged the cat's body, as if calling to her.

Jiu Yunchi's icy eyes swirled with shock as he watched the scene unfold, his gaze falling on the little phoenix's open eyes, its round pupils glowing with a blood-red hue.

"Squeak—"

The little phoenix let out a soft, clear, and melodious chirp. When it moved, although there was a creaking sound from its wooden joints, the sound was negligible compared to its lifelike fluidity!

"Hmm..." The cat slowly woke up, angrily slapped the little phoenix's head away, and got out of bed.

As soon as she sat up, she saw Jiu Yunchi by the bedside. Cat said in a reproachful tone, "Why did you install its switch? Cat hasn't had enough sleep yet."

The little phoenix nuzzled against her from behind again, its elegant neck brushing against hers as if it were being affectionate.

Jiu Yunchi finally calmed his wildly beating heart and asked calmly, "Who taught you that?"
