Qiu Wanzhen spoke as if it were perfectly reasonable.

In this circle, everyone has arranged marriages. Even the marriage between Old Madam Huo and Old Mr. Huo was arranged by the older generation. The Qiu family and the Huo family have business dealings, so this marriage is a powerful alliance. Qiu Wanzhen's parents are also very happy to have a marriage alliance with the Huo family.

As for whether Huo Linyuan would agree, Qiu Wanzhen was still very confident in herself.

So now she lives in Lanyue Bay like she's at home, and looking at Huo Linyuan's cat is like looking at her own cat.

She forcibly picked up the cat and put it on the sofa to tease it.

Yu Chaoxi was very unhappy with her actions and did not want to be held by her, struggling to get down.

The more she struggled, the less Qiu Wanzhen let go.

As the two were struggling, Qiu Wanzhen tugged at the fur on the cat's back and pulled out a small tuft.

Yu Chaoxi suddenly felt a burning pain in her back.

"Meow!" Damn it!

She stretched out her claws and scratched Qiu Wanzhen's arm hard.

"ah!"

Qiu Wanzhen was in so much pain that she quickly let go, and Yu Chaoxi took the opportunity to escape from the sofa.

Qiu Wanzhen glanced at her arm, where several scratches had broken the skin and were bleeding. She looked at Yu Chaoxi, who was a few steps away, and gritted her teeth.

"You little beast! The first thing I'll do after I marry into this family is throw you out."

Hearing the commotion downstairs, Aunt Chen rushed down, asking, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Meow~" Yu Chaoxi cried out in grievance and jumped into Aunt Chen's arms.

Qiu Wanzhen pointed at Yu Chaoxi and said with dissatisfaction, "How did you raise this cat? It has such a bad temper. Aunt Chen, look, she scratched my hand!"

Yu Chaoxi let out a tearful sob, revealing her back. There was a small patch missing from the white fur on her back, though it wasn't obvious, Chen Sao could still see it when she looked down.

Mrs. Chen was heartbroken. Not only did Mr. Huo like this cat, but she also liked it very much. She would carefully prepare cat food for it every day, and Mr. Huo doted on it. But now it had been abused and injured by an outsider.

Aunt Chen patted Yu Chaoxi tenderly and coaxed, "Oh, little kitty, is someone bullying you? Aunt Chen will help you chase her out."

Yu Chaoxi nuzzled against Aunt Chen.

Seeing that the Huo family's servants only cared about the cat and not her, Qiu Wanzhen couldn't help but shout, "Aunt Chen, what do you mean? Old Madam Huo personally brought me here. What right do you, a servant of the Huo family, have to kick me out?"

"Miss Qiu, I just went upstairs and called Mr. Huo. He said you are not allowed to stay here. You should leave immediately!"

"Mr. Huo won't let me stay?" Qiu Wanzhen asked incredulously. "Doesn't he even listen to the old lady?"

“This is the master’s house, the old lady’s word doesn’t count,” Mrs. Chen said distantly. “If you don’t leave, I’ll call the security guards of the villa area to come and take you away.”

Qiu Wanzhen was unwilling to leave like this, but when she saw Chen Sao pick up her phone to call the security guard, she suppressed her anger at the thought of being forcibly dragged out in public and losing face.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

She gritted her teeth, turned around, and left the villa. She decided to take a taxi to the hospital to treat her wounds first, and then go to Mrs. Huo to complain. She was determined to get this Aunt Chen fired!

After Qiu Wanzhen left, Aunt Chen carried Yu Chaoxi around to check if she was injured anywhere else.

Fortunately, only a tuft of fur fell out in one spot, so it's not a big problem. New fur will grow back in a few days.

"If anyone bullies you in the future, scratch them just like you did today, understand?"

"Meow," Yu Chaoxi responded.

"Host, you've suffered. That vicious woman actually plucked your hair," the system said with concern.

"It's okay, I scratched her too. If she doesn't treat it properly, it'll leave a scar." Yu Chaoxi returned to her room, exchanged for a recovery pill and took it, hoping that new fur would grow back as soon as possible, otherwise it would look ugly with a small bald patch on her head.

Aside from cleaning every morning, Aunt Chen generally doesn't enter Huo Linyuan's room. So, Yu Chaoxi stood in front of the full-length mirror, transformed back into human form, and looked in the mirror to see if her back was also injured.

Fortunately, there were no injuries on his back when he was in human form.

Since things have already changed back anyway, Yu Chaoxi decided to take a shower while she had the chance.

When she was a cat, Huo Linyuan and Aunt Chen wouldn't bathe her every day because cats can't be bathed frequently. If she had to be bathed only once every month or two, she really couldn't stand being smelly.

So Yu Chaoxi would secretly transform back into a human and take a bath while Huo Linyuan was at work.

Since she hadn't showered yesterday, she could take a shower today, so Yu Chaoxi slipped into the bathroom.

...

Downstairs, Huo Linyuan returned from the company.

Aunt Chen asked in surprise, "Why is the master back?"

"I left a document in the study and forgot to take it. I'll come back to get it. Has the person the old lady sent been sent away?"

Huo Linyuan could have asked his assistant Lin to come back and retrieve the documents, but after receiving a call from Aunt Chen in the morning, he was worried that Aunt Chen wouldn't be able to handle it, so he decided to come back and take a look.

"Miss Qiu has already left, but the kitten was injured by her." Aunt Chen recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Huo Linyuan's face turned frosty. The Qiu family really thought too highly of themselves. Did they really believe that with his parents' consent, Qiu Wanzhen could marry him? What a joke!

Where is the cat?

"She's probably playing in her room right now; I haven't seen her come out."

Huo Linyuan nodded, "I'll go up and check on her."

Huo Linyuan went upstairs and opened the door.

Yu Chaoxi had just finished showering and was wrapping herself in a towel to dry off when a click sound suddenly came from outside the bathroom.

Her heart skipped a beat.

The bathroom in the room has frosted glass, and through the glass, you can see a tall figure walking in from outside the door.

Yu Chaoxi cursed inwardly. Why did Huo Linyuan come back at this time? She wasn't planning to turn into a human in front of him right now!

Without even bothering to wipe the water droplets off her body, she hurriedly transformed back into a cat.

Huo Linyuan came in and glanced around, but didn't see his cat. Then his gaze fell on the fogged bathroom glass, where a figure flashed by.

He was startled. Someone was there?

Huo Linyuan took a few steps forward, pushed open the bathroom door, and in the steamy air, a wet kitten rushed straight into his arms.

"Meow!" The kitten licked his chin affectionately.

Huo Linyuan subconsciously supported the cat's little bottom. The steam in the bathroom dissipated, revealing an empty space except for a bath towel lying on the floor.

Huo Linyuan frowned. Had he just imagined it?

Were you the only one in the bathroom just now?

Yu Chaoxi hooked him with her wet tail.

"Meow!" Who else could it be but me!

Huo Linyuan dismissed his doubts. After all, how could there be anyone else in his room?

He lifted Yu Chaoxi up, his face stern, "So you were playing in the water in the bathroom the whole time? Doesn't your back hurt anymore?"

Someone who can turn the bathroom into a steamy mess must have been playing for a long time.

Yu Chaoxi's four paws and head drooped down, looking extremely guilty.
