Chapter 191 Dad! Cake!

Yes, very good, just like a drama queen.

This state is just like when I tricked him into making a big cake last time.

Lin Yan'an breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained tense.

"Yan An, Sui Sui, this..."

Director Qin was successfully intimidated by it and couldn't help but worry.

"It's probably tired. Let it rest for a while."

Lin Yan'an's tone carried just the right amount of worry, but he held Zhong Suisui firmly in his arms and even thoughtfully adjusted her position so that she could lie down more comfortably.

Director Qin immediately believed it. Looking at Zhong Suisui's "weak" appearance, a hint of guilt appeared on his serious face: "We owe you a lot this time, Yan'an. You should take it back to rest. If you need anything, just let us know."

Lin Yan'an nodded readily, "Don't worry, Director Qin, I will take good care of it."

"Director Qin! Look!"

Lin Yan'an had barely finished speaking when the researcher's shocked voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, the two instinctively turned their heads to look.

Wisps of black mist slowly rose from the scroll, and a blurry phantom could be seen appearing and disappearing in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, the black mist grew even denser, and Du Qian's phantom was enveloped in the mist, rapidly solidifying and becoming clearer at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Du Qian's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened them.

His cloudy eyes stared blankly ahead, then regained their usual clarity and wisdom.

"Cough cough..."

Just as Du Qian was about to speak, he coughed softly twice, as if choked by the dense yin energy.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the dissipating black mist around him, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.

Although his soul had not yet awakened, he still retained some awareness of the outside world.

Especially the kitten that slapped him twice; the force felt as if it had struck his very soul.

Thinking of this, Du Qian's gaze swept around and finally landed on the unconscious kitten in Lin Yan'an's arms.

His expression froze for a moment, and the illusory figure slowly raised his hands, solemnly bowing in the direction of Zhong Suisui.

Another standard, respectful ancient greeting, his voice filled with gratitude towards Zhong Suisui: "Thank you very much, Mr. Du..."

Du Qian paused for a moment, then continued, "Thank you so much, Lord Cat, for saving my life! I will never forget this kindness!"

His solemn attitude further confirmed in Director Qin's eyes the fact that Zhong Suisui had been greatly exhausted and had fainted.

Lin Yan'an glanced at Director Qin's serious expression out of the corner of his eye, his thin lips pressed tightly together, suppressing a smile.

He turned slightly to the side, as if to accept half a bow on behalf of the "unconscious" Sui Sui, and said in a low voice with a sorrowful expression, "Mr. Du, there is no need for such formalities."

"Sui Sui...it just did what it was supposed to do. It's good that you're awake."

Director Qin looked at Du Qian's fading figure and asked excitedly, "Mr. Du, you're finally awake! How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong?"

No.

Du Qian shook his head slightly, looked at Director Qin, felt their concern, and smiled slightly. He cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you for your concern, Director Qin. I am fine now."

"only……"

He straightened up, his gaze falling on Zhong Suisui again, and continued in a worried tone, "I feel guilty for implicating Cat Lord."

"Don't worry, Mr. Du, Sui Sui is fine. She's just tired and will be fine after a good night's sleep."

Lin Yan'an quickly chimed in, then changed the subject: "Director Qin, since Mr. Du is awake, you all go ahead with your work, I'll take Sui Sui upstairs to rest."

"Alright, alright, you all go upstairs and rest. Take good care of Sui Sui and Comrade Zhong Wan. We can handle things here."

Director Qin didn't hesitate and made a decision immediately.

Lin Yan'an nodded, apologized to Mr. Du, then turned around and walked out quickly with Zhong Suisui in his arms.

He was afraid that if he delayed even a second longer, the little one in his arms would give away the secret.

While its great abilities are certainly a good thing, Lin Yan'an is also worried that they might bring even greater trouble.

Moreover, in his eyes, Sui Sui is still young.

He still hoped that Zhong Suisui could grow up happily under Zhong Wan's and his watchful eye, rather than being trapped in all sorts of trivial matters.

Sure enough, the moment he stepped out of the room, the little one in his arms stirred.

Lin Yan'an looked down at the little guy in her arms with affection, looking into its big, watery eyes, and mouthed, "Close your eyes, keep pretending."

"Dad will make you a cake this afternoon."

Zhong Suisui immediately closed her eyes with a smile, her tail swaying contentedly.

The fluffy tail brushed against Lin Yan'an's arm, and feeling the ticklish sensation, Lin Yan'an's hand moved slightly as if by accident, gently and steadily tucking the tail between his fingers and holding it in his arms.

Zhong Suisui seemed to sense something was wrong, and quietly opened her eyes, immediately meeting Lin Yan'an's helpless gaze.

Just as it instinctively wanted to laugh, Lin Yan'an's words suddenly came to mind.

Although she didn't understand his intentions, Zhong Suisui was obedient.

And there's cake to eat too!

Zhong Suisui immediately tilted her head to the side, buried her head back in Lin Yan'an's arms, and closed her eyes.

Only the tip of its fluffy tail continued to sway from side to side, because it was in a good mood.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yan'an's heart instantly melted.

He quickly carried Zhong Suisui upstairs and back to their room.

The moment the door closed, Zhong Suisui sprang from his arms, her two front paws tugging at his collar, her big, round eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Lin Yan'an.

【Meow! 】

[Dad! Cake!]

It meowed sweetly and eagerly nuzzled Lin Yan'an's chin with its head.

"Little glutton."

Lin Yan'an chuckled instantly, lowered his head to rub its little head, and replied affectionately, "Don't worry, Daddy will make the cake I promised you in a bit. But..."

He paused, picked up the kitten in his arms, and walked to the bedside. Looking at Zhong Wan, who was leaning against the headboard with a smile, he reached out and handed the kitten to her: "However, today Sui Sui can play in the room with her mother."

"Let's rest well today and go out for a stroll tomorrow."

Zhong Wan reached out and took it, then gently rubbed Zhong Suisui's soft belly a couple of times. She looked up at Lin Yan'an and asked curiously, "Mr. Du is awake?"

"Um."

Lin Yan'an nodded, sat down in front of her, and explained with a smile, "Just now down there, Sui Sui really stole the show."

"With just two quick paws, it woke Mr. Du up, and he was extremely grateful to it."

Lin Yan paused for a moment and then shared his thoughts: "However, in order for Sui Sui's life to be more peaceful, I'll still say that she's tired."

At this point, the smile in his eyes almost overflowed: "I didn't expect that Sui Sui and I were so in sync. As soon as I finished speaking, it suddenly collapsed into my arms, which startled Director Qin. He thought it had overexerted itself and was very distressed."
