Qiu Wanzhen felt a chill in her heart. Seeing that no one was there to help her, she said to Yu Chaoxi with a feeling of resentment, "I'm sorry."

Yu Chaoxi moved her little head away and pointed her paw at Huo Linyuan.

Qin Heng immediately understood. "Miss Qiu, the kitten wants you to apologize to Huo Linyuan. Hmm? Wait, why?"

Yu Chaoxi meowed and jumped down from Huo Linyuan's arms. She ran to Qiu Wanzhen's side, picked up her cup, grabbed a handful of dirt with her paws and threw it into the cup, then ran back to Huo Linyuan with the cup in her mouth, wanting to give it to him.

Finally, he kicked the cup away.

Qin Heng was now stumped and looked completely bewildered. "What does this mean?"

Huo Linyuan thought for a moment, "You mean, the glass of wine you knocked over in the front hall was drugged, and the person who drugged it was Qiu Wanzhen, so she has to apologize to me?"

"Meow!" You're so clever!

"Holy crap!" Qin Heng blurted out, "Is this even a cat? It must have the highest intelligence in the animal kingdom! Can I keep her for a few days?"

Huo Linyuan didn't even look at him. "Get out of here."

In fact, Huo Linyuan was also shocked. In the past, Xiao Mao would just act cute with him and express a simple meaning at most. This was the first time Huo Linyuan had seen her use her body to express such a long series of events. She even knew to ask Qiu Wanzhen to apologize to him!

After tonight, Huo Linyuan will find it hard to convince himself to treat her as just a cat... For some reason, Huo Linyuan felt a pang of fear and quickly stopped this absurd thought.

"Send someone to check the surveillance footage in the front hall to see if Qiu Wanzhen really put drugs in the wine."

"Alright."

In the crowd, Old Madam Huo quietly turned and left. She was his mother. Even if it was found out that she was the one who gave him the medicine, this unfilial son couldn't do anything to her, could he?

That cat is really smart, I'll bring it over and play with it another day.

When Qin Heng asked someone to check the surveillance footage, Yu Chaoxi suddenly felt dizzy. She remembered that when she had been holding that cup, she seemed to have accidentally licked some wine again.

"Bunny, I think I'm drunk."

"It's not just a feeling, you're really drunk."

"I only licked a tiny bit, it should be fine, right?"

"...Do you remember what I said? Under normal circumstances, the system's skin doesn't switch randomly, but you're drunk, so this is a special case."

"So you might uncontrollably revert back to human form," the system said quietly.

Yu Chaoxi, "!!!"
