"..."

It turned out to be the cat that Fu Weiyun had just picked up.

She then realized that this alley was not far from the General's Mansion, and the little dumpling must have run away.

"You bite and run away, you must really dislike that guy Fu Weiyun, right?"

Zuo Miaomiao's eyes darted around.

"In that case, why don't you come back with me?"

As soon as the sound faded, a familiar voice rang out: "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan~"

Zuo Miaomiao instinctively reached behind her back and hid the kitten.

Just as he had hidden himself, Fu Weiyun appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Miss Zuo? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to conduct an interview."

Zuo Miaomiao said with a straight face.

Fu Weiyun sensed that she seemed a little nervous and was about to ask her when he suddenly noticed a small section of orange skin peeking out from behind her waist.

I immediately understood what she was doing.

"Miss Zuo, my cat is missing. Have you seen it? It's an orange kitten."

Zuo Miaomiao replied without blinking, "No."

As soon as I finished speaking, my hand felt light, and my head felt heavy.

Zuo Miaomiao: "..."

What happened to our destined connection?

They brazenly undermined her.

"Ahem." Fu Weiyun clenched his fist and coughed lightly.

"Excuse me, it seems my cat has climbed onto your head."

Zuo Miaomiao picked up the little dumpling and said expressionlessly, "Do you know how dangerous it is outside? Since you've taken it in, you should keep a close eye on it and not let it run around."

Fu Weiyun replied obediently, "This is my first time raising a cat, I have no experience, I will be more careful next time."

After saying that, he reached out to take the little dumpling.

The little dumpling slid up Zuo Miaomiao's arm and onto her shoulder, glaring at Fu Weiyun with a smug look.

"Meow!"

I don't want to go back with you.

Zuo Miaomiao was overjoyed.

This little dumpling has a conscience.

It was worth it for her to contribute a whole bag of dried fish.

She suppressed a laugh and said, "What should we do? It doesn't seem to want to go back with you."

Fu Weiyun sighed: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Zuo to take care of it for a few days. I'll go see it in a few days, and if it's willing to come with me, I'll bring it back."

Zuo Miaomiao: The little dumpling is indeed destined to be with her!

However, while she was happy, she was also a little worried.

Fu Weiyun agreed so readily, could there be a trap?

Thinking about it carefully, his cat is with her. If the little dumpling refuses to go back, wouldn't that give him a ready-made excuse to keep coming back?

That's far too cunning.

She looked at Fu Weiyun with suspicion.

Fu Weiyun looked regretful, as if he was heartbroken that the little dumpling had chosen her instead of him.

Zuo Miaomiao suppressed her doubts for the time being.

"Okay, but if it still refuses to come with you next time you come to pick it up, can you transfer it to me and raise another one yourself?"

Fu Weiyun was also a little dumpling he had just picked up, so there wasn't much affection between them.

Besides, the little dumpling doesn't like him.

He probably wouldn't mind getting a different cat, right?

She waited anxiously for a few moments, and Fu Weiyun sighed softly, "If that's really the case, then I have no choice but to give up."

Zuo Miaomiao's lips curled up slightly.

"I'm taking it home first."

Fu Weiyun nodded: "Okay, I'll deliver his items over later."

"You've prepared things for it so quickly?"

"It was just prepared this afternoon."

He's so eager to get started; it seems he really loves this little dumpling.

A pang of guilt swept through Zuo Miaomiao's heart at the thought of taking away someone else's love.

But feeling the warmth from the little bundle on my cheek, my guilt quickly vanished.

For the sake of her cat, she was willing to go against her conscience once!

After the two people and the cat walked out of the alley, Zuo Miaomiao suggested, "Why don't I take Yuanyuan's things back to the mansion on the way?", in order to save manpower and resources.

Fu Weiyun did not object: "Alright."

He dismounted and led the carriage carrying Zuo Miaomiao back to the gate of the mansion, instructing the servants to load the things prepared for the little dumpling onto the carriage.

After moving everything, Zuo Miaomiao waved goodbye.

Fu Weiyun watched her carriage leave and was about to return to his residence when he suddenly caught sight of a magnificent carriage slowly approaching from not far away.

He glanced at it once and then looked away, returning to his residence.

If he lingered even a moment longer, he would see a beautifully dressed woman revealed when the carriage curtains were lifted.

The beautiful woman waited nearby for half a day, just to catch a glimpse of him.

Unexpectedly...

"How could a little blonde girl steal the spotlight?"

A shadow crossed the beautiful woman's eyes.

He immediately ordered his servants, "Find out which household that girl belongs to."

"Yes, Princess."

Zuo Miaomiao had no idea that she was about to have her household registration checked. She returned home with a car full of cat supplies and her little dumpling.

Have someone clean out the side room to the right of your living room and decorate it as a small dumpling's home.

Fu Weiyun had prepared everything she needed, so she didn't need to buy anything else.

However, looking at the little dumpling squatting on the ground, staring intently at the wind chimes hanging on the eaves, Zuo Miaomiao felt that it was necessary to add a few more toys for it.

Bell balls and feather cages, etc.

The next day, after playing with the little dumpling for a while, she took a car to Zhenbaozhai.

She remembered that Treasure House sold these kinds of things.

Upon arriving at the store, I mentioned it to the shopkeeper, who indeed said: "It's in the display case on the west side of the second floor."

Zuo Miaomiao thanked him and headed towards the stairs.

A woman dressed in finery was leading her maid down from upstairs. Zuo Miaomiao recognized her as Princess Wenyi, gave her a curtsy, and then stepped aside to let her pass.

Unexpectedly, the other person stopped in front of her.
