Chapter 186 Little Flower Runs Away from Home

Watching Shen Jiyang and Song Jin chatting so enthusiastically, Gu Ji couldn't help but sigh, "Uncle Shen really has charm with everyone, young and old!"

Although Song Jin is a looks-obsessed person and usually has a cheerful and outgoing personality, she can't get along with every guy.

Currently, Shen Jiyang seems to be an exception; at least Song Jin has not shown any impatience.

"That's just how he is; he's best at sweet-talking girls." Dan Anwen elegantly picked up her teacup and took a leisurely sip.

From a young age, Shen Jiyang was a notorious playboy. The ladies and young women in the circle all liked to talk to him, showering him with sweet words as if they were free.

"Now I know where your sweet talk comes from." Gu Ji looked into the man's dark eyes with her bright, watery eyes.

He showered her with sweet words, each time leaving her dizzy and confused, and she would agree to his unreasonable demands in a daze.

Dan Anwen smiled and deliberately lowered his voice, saying, "My words to you are never sweet talk, but rather the heartfelt truth."

Gu Ji smiled but didn't say anything, and began to concentrate on drinking his tea.

With Shen Jiyang being such a chatterbox, there was no need for the main character to liven up the atmosphere at this meal; Dan Anwen focused on serving his little one.

They served food and peeled shrimp, brought tea and handed out tissues. The remaining few people at the meal didn't eat too much because they had eaten too much dog food.

As Gu Ji was eating, she noticed that everyone's eyes were on her bowl. She looked at the food in her bowl with a puzzled expression, but there was nothing special about it!

When she looked over, everyone looked away.

"Ya Ya, eat this, it's delicious." Ji Wanmiao picked up some vegetables for Tian Ya.

Tian Ya nodded. "It's delicious."

Shen Jiyang smiled and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of shrimp meat, "Sister Song Jin, try this."

"Thanks."

Everything was peaceful and warm, but it always gave Gu Ji the illusion that something was being covered up.

After dinner, Dan Anwen drove Song Jin and the others back to school, and finally took Gu Ji back to Jinshan Villa.

......

Time flies, and spring in the south always arrives quietly and leaves without a word. Before anyone even realizes it, the scorching summer descends upon the world.

"Waaaaah..."

Gu Ji was preparing for the final of the ancient poetry competition in his study when he heard a dog whimpering at the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Tangtang and Guoguo prying at it, looking very anxious.

Before Gu Ji could react, Guo Guo grabbed Gu Ji's trouser leg with her mouth and tried to pull her downstairs.

"What's wrong, Guoguo?" Gu Ji asked, puzzled. She had never seen Guoguo so anxious before.

Tangtang, who was standing to the side, also started pulling at Gu Ji's other pant leg.

I hurriedly followed the two dogs into the living room, where the floor was a mess. A vase that had been placed high up had fallen to the ground, its shards scattered all over the floor.

Gu Ji frowned as he looked at everything. It didn't look like a thief had broken in; it looked like it had been accidentally knocked over. The vase was too tall for Guoguo and Tangtang to reach, so it must have been Xiaohua.

"Are you saying that Xiaohua caused trouble?" Gu Ji touched the fruit on the ground.

Guoguo was still restless, pacing around in place, constantly tugging at Gu Ji's trouser leg, trying to pull her out of the villa.

There was no other way, so Gu Ji could only go to the garden to find Xiao Hua. As it got older, it enjoyed sunbathing on the swing chair in the garden more and more.

But after searching everywhere, she couldn't find any trace of Xiaohua, and then she realized that something was wrong.

They quickly checked the home security camera and found that Xiaohua, who had been sleeping next to the vase, suddenly got up and jumped down, knocking the vase to the ground.

Xiao Hua glanced back and went upstairs, but after sitting for a while at the door of the study, she went to find Guo Guo and Tang Tang.

Finally, it went into the yard through a small gate that had been specially opened for it, crossed the wall, and disappeared from the villa's surveillance cameras.

After reviewing the surveillance footage, Gu Ji immediately called Dan Anwen, "Uncle Dan, Xiaohua has run away from home."

"Running away from home" is the term they use to describe the disappearance of their cats and dogs, because their two dogs, Tangtang and Guoguo, have often gone missing before, always running outside to play when no one is looking.

However, this was the first time Xiao Hua had acted this way. Since moving to Jinshan Villa, it had never run away.

It will only go out with them when Gu Ji or Dan Anwen take them outside to play; it will never leave home without saying goodbye.

"How could Xiao Hua have disappeared?" Dan Anwen frowned.

Gu Ji sent him the surveillance footage. "I don't know either. It was Tangtang and Guoguo who discovered it."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone check the surveillance footage to find the cat right away. You wait for me at home." Dan An said. Xiao Hua's body is small and not easy to find. It would be difficult for Gu An to find it by himself.

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ji looked at Guo Guo and Tang Tang on the ground, who were staring at her expectantly. "How did you know that Xiao Hua ran away from home?"

If Aunt Zhang isn't home, and they're upstairs, the downstairs doors are all closed, so Tangtang and Guoguo can't play in the yard at all. Only Xiaohua can go out through its own little door.

It was common for Xiaohua to be away from the villa, but she had never seen Tangtang and Guoguo so anxious.

Guoguo placed its front paws on Gu Ji's shoes, looked up at her, as if to say that it knew.

Gu Ji didn't expect it to answer her; perhaps animals have their own mysterious connections.

When Dan Anwen returned, the information found by his subordinates indicated that the last place Xiao Hua was seen was in a forest, and after that, its whereabouts could not be found.

The kitten is so small that finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"How did it get into the woods?" Gu Ji looked at the surveillance camera in confusion. This place was already quite far from Jinshan Villa, a half-hour drive away, which showed that Xiao Hua was running very fast.

Dan Anwen frowned as he looked at the scene. "I don't know either, but doesn't this place look familiar?"

Gu Ji looked at it carefully again and again.

"This road seems to lead to Qingling." Gu Ji looked up. "Xiao Hua wouldn't have gone to find Grandma Fang, would she?"

"That's possible. Let's go take a look at the Qing Mausoleum."

Dan Anwen and Gu Ji rushed to Qingling. It wasn't Grandma Fang's death anniversary, so Xiao Hua's behavior today was very unusual, and Gu Ji had a bad feeling.

She hoped that this was just her overthinking, and that Xiaohua simply missed her grandmother and wanted to visit her.

After entering the Qingling Mausoleum, Gu Ji followed Dan Anwen toward Fang Manjing's tombstone and immediately saw Xiao Hua sitting in front of the tombstone.

She sat quietly in front of the tombstone, looking up at the kind photo of Manjing above it.

This relieved Gu Ji. Rumor had it that when the cats and dogs in the house knew they were about to die, they would leave the house and find a place to die alone.

She was worried about this outcome on the way here, but fortunately it was just that Xiaohua missed Grandma Fang.

"Xiao Hua," Gu Ji called out to Xiao Hua.

But Little Flower didn't turn her head to meow, nor did she move her body at all, as if she hadn't heard her words.

A gentle breeze swept by, stirring up a few strands of cat fur.
