Bai Lin left, and he also took Bai Liu, who was standing next to him, with him.

"Hand Lili over to Mr. Xie."

Bai Lin instructed, "I have something to discuss with you."

Bai Liu hugged her younger brother tightly and wouldn't let go: "No, I want to stay with Lili."

"Bai Xiaoliu".

Hearing his brother's serious tone, Bai Liu pouted and reluctantly handed over his younger brother.

well.

Why did it happen to his eldest brother this time? If only his third brother were here instead.

Third Brother is the most timid; he definitely wouldn't dare to be so fierce to him.

Bai Xiaoliu was taken away by his older brother. Xie Chen looked down at the snow-white kitten in his arms and felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Even if my arm gets injured, it's worth it.

"Lili, shall we go back to the company?"

"Meow."

good.

Bai Li was quite frightened today. He leaned against Xie Chen's chest, not wanting to be separated from Xie Chen again.

If an ordinary employee is injured, they can take leave.

But Xie Chen, as the boss, couldn't find anyone to ask for leave when he was injured.

soon.

Xie Chen took Bai Li to the company. Before going to the company, he went home first, changed his clothes, and brought some things for Bai Li.

Uncle Xie was extremely worried when he saw the gauze on Xie Chen's arm.

"Sir, the person who hurt you—"

"I've had someone handle it."

Xie Chen is no pushover. This time, Huang Fang even threatened his Lili, so of course he won't let her off easily.

Uncle Xie frowned, staring at Xie Chen's arm: "Such a large wound, won't it leave a scar?"

"Won't."

Xie Chen didn't mind the scars, but since Bai Lin said he would help him remove them, he wouldn't refuse.

After leaving home, Bai Li nestled in Xie Chen's arms and dozed off.

He was sleepy again.

Xie Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the little kitten's white belly rising and falling as it slept. He felt a sense of peace settle down.

Once inside the company, Anna handed Xie Chen a cup of brewed tea and prepared a cup of sweet water for Bai Li.

"Boss, I just found out about Huang Fang's situation. Please calm down."

Xie Chen had nothing to be surprised about.

This kind of scene meant nothing to him.

He had a lot of work to do, and Bai Li barely woke up most of the afternoon.

"Boss, there are quite a few people eyeing this real estate bid."

Anna reported to Xie Chen about the bidding information she would be participating in on her itinerary.

"Don't be nervous." Xie Chen glanced at the documents in the folder without even looking up. "We can win this bid."

Bai Li couldn't understand any of the trivial official business.

His face was buried in Xie Chen's lower abdomen, and perhaps because of his breathing, Xie Chen's skin in that area felt warm.

I don't know how long I slept.

Bai Li woke up groggily from his dream, raised his paw to rub his eyes, and meowed blankly, "Sir."

"I am here."

Bai Li tilted her head back, her eyes glistening with moisture as she yawned, clear and pure.

"I...I was dreaming."

In his dream, he seemed to see the gentleman, the gentleman who shone.

The master is on Monster Mountain, in the cave in the back mountain that Dad said no one is allowed to enter.

"gentlemen."

Bai Li asked in confusion, "Have you been to Monster Mountain?"

Xie pondered for a few seconds before giving his answer: "No."

He had never even heard of this mountain.

Bai Li shook her head and mumbled a confused "Oh": "Then maybe I'm just having a wild dream."

Xie Chen didn't delve into what Bai Li said.

After work that day, Xie Chen brought his work home so that the kitten could go home and rest properly.

For two consecutive days.

Bai Li still experiences occasional fevers, but perhaps because he has been resting a lot, nothing serious has happened to him.

Two days later.

Bai Lin personally visited and brought gifts.

I bought a lot of gifts, some for Xie Chen, but most of them were for Bai Li.

"Mr. Xie, I didn't know what you liked, so I just gave you some random things."

Bai Lin opened one of the gift boxes, which contained local specialties from Monster Mountain.

A pile of beautiful, translucent stones is enough to make an exquisite indoor decoration.

There were other gifts piled together, and you could tell that they were thoughtfully chosen.

Looking at these things, Xie Chen admired Bai Lin even more.

They were talking downstairs, while upstairs, Bai Li was nestled in bed, his body feeling hot in his drowsy state, so he crawled back into bed.

The snow-white kitten gradually transformed into a stunningly handsome young man.

The boy's face was pressed against the blanket, his nose surrounded by the familiar cool fragrance of his teacher.

He was wrapped in his blanket, fast asleep, his jade-like body curled up. He seemed to be dreaming of something, his eyelashes fluttering slightly, a sight that evoked pity in one's heart.

In the living room.

Xie Shen and Bai Lin were getting along very well.

Bai Lin is not only a yacht designer, but he also has another identity that has developed from a hobby into a profession that can almost be his full-time job—a boxer.

"I've also practiced some boxing. How about we spar sometime?" Xie Chen said, even mentioning a boxing ring.

That boxing ring was very famous in the industry, but the identity of the owner behind it all remained a mystery.

Bai Lin now realizes that the mysterious boss is Xie Chen.

"This is also a personal interest of mine."

Xie Chen picked up the teacup, pressed his thin lips to the rim, and took a small sip.

The two shared common interests, and Bai Lin's attitude towards Xie Chen became noticeably better.

The two of them ended up chatting for quite a while without realizing it.

Xie Chen glanced at the time and stood up from the sofa: "Brother Bai."

He was three years younger than Bai Lin, so he called him "brother".

"I'll go upstairs to check on Lili. He's been sleeping for so long, he should be awake by now."

"good."

Xie Chen went up the stairs to his room to check on the sleeping kitten.

Inside the blanket, the blushing boy had just half-opened his eyes.

Footsteps echoed in the corridor. The boy, who had been in human form for two hours, suddenly turned back into a round, snow-white kitten with a soft splat.

Xie Chen pushed open the door and saw a little kitten half-covered in the blanket, its eyes blank.

"woke up."

He quickened his pace, walked to the bedside, bent down, and picked up the kitten.

"Your older brother is here."

Xie Chen coaxed the kitten in a low voice, "I asked Uncle Xie to prepare dinner. We'll eat together later."

"Meow."

Bai Li had just woken up and subconsciously rubbed against Xie Chen before yawning.

Seeing that Bai Lin was still yawning even after sleeping for so long, Xie Chen couldn't help but ask him as soon as he went downstairs.

After Bai Lin finished speaking, he frowned, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

"Has Lili started sleeping so much lately?"

"Yes." Xie Chen added, "I took him to see the doctor several times, and the test results were all normal."

Bai Lin remained silent for a moment.

He had many thoughts on his mind. Lili's health wasn't good; her excessive sleepiness could be due to a physical problem, or it could be...

Another possibility made Bai Lin's heart pound violently.

"Let Lili wear this."

Bai Lin took out a very small jade pendant, strung it with a red string, and put it around Bai Li's neck.

"This is a medicinal jade, designed to help cats who are prone to sleepiness. Wearing it might have some effect?"

"Thank you." Xie Chen reflexively thanked Bai Lin.

Bai Lin smiled and said, "No need to thank me. Lili is my family. This is what I should do."

The jade pendant, with its warm, lustrous color, is carved in the shape of a cat.

If you look closely, you'll find that the cat's shape is exactly the same as Bai Li's kitten.

Xie Chen reached out and touched the jade pendant; it was made of the finest material.

Dinner was lavish; Xie Chen personally fried dried fish, and Bai Li grabbed the dried fish and fed it to her husband and then to her older brother, keeping herself extremely busy.

"Alright, Lili."

Xie Chen placed the eager kitten on the table and sat it down: "We don't need to feed it anymore, you can eat your own."

Bai Li's bowl was already filled with food, but she hadn't had a chance to eat yet because she was busy feeding other people's kittens.

Bai Lin patted his head and told him to eat by himself.

Everyone had started eating when Bai Li suddenly looked up from her rice bowl and belatedly asked, "Big brother, isn't Sixth Brother coming to eat?"

Bai Lin didn't even lift his eyelids: "Your sixth brother isn't hungry."

Bai Li held the bowl in her paws and meowed, "Sixth Brother is hungry."

Everyone is having dinner now, and Sixth Brother must be hungry too.

Bai Lin paused in her act of picking up food, then glanced at Xie Chen.

Next second.

Xie Chen fed the peeled shrimp to Bai Li's mouth: "Lili, eat shrimp."

After being coaxed by Xie Chen, Bai Li indeed stopped worrying about whether her sixth brother was hungry.

Bai Lin poured Xie Chen a glass of wine with satisfaction.

As expected of someone he thought was good, he knows how to be flexible in his dealings with people.

On the other side.

Bai Xiaoliu, who was told by his older brother that he wasn't hungry, was resentfully transformed into a cat and squatting in the villa.

So annoying!

After his older brother found out that he had instigated Yu Yin to "abuse the scum", he actually gave him a beating.

They're making him stay home and reflect on his actions, and they won't let him see Yu Yin again.

"I'm so angry, so angry, so angry!"

Bai Xiaoliu poked the wall with his claws, almost wanting to rush up and fight his older brother.

But the eldest brother's original form is too big; we can't beat him!

Bai Xiaoliu was so angry that he couldn't eat, while Bai Li ate and drank her fill, lay on the table, and pulled Xie Chen's hand, making him touch her belly.

“Mr. Xie, I have to go out for a while and will be back in about a week. When I get back, how about we arrange a date?”

"good."

When Bai Lin mentioned "arranging a match," he meant going to the boxing ring to make the appointment.

Bai Li didn't understand, so she reached out her paw and grabbed Xie Chen, still asking curiously, "What are you meeting up for?"

"Let's meet for tea."

Xie Chen and Bai Lin tacitly kept Bai Li from telling her about boxing.

Bai Lin told Xie Chen and left City A the next day.

After the eldest brother left, Bai Liu tried to kidnap the younger brother again, but unfortunately, he failed.

Bai Li put on the jade pendant his older brother gave him, and it really worked! He stopped being so sleepy as before. With his sleepiness gone, he couldn't wait to take his kittens back to work that very day.

"Big brother."

On her way to work, Meimei looked longingly at her kitten brother, whom she hadn't seen much of in the past few days, and even nuzzled against him, saying, "You're finally back."

"Meow meow".

I'm back.

Bai Li patted her younger brother's head and asked with concern, "Have you felt like someone's been following you lately?"

"some."

Meimei Miaomiao said, "But we have a solution now."

"What method?"

"We found Brother Hei!" Meimei replied happily to her older brother.

With their older brother away these past few days, they don't want to keep troubling him or becoming a burden to him.

So, after sensing the danger, a group of kittens held a serious meeting in the night.

The meeting decided that they should go and find Blackfoot Cat Brother to protect them.

After all, they had been paying protection money to Blackfoot Cat Brother on time every month, and now that they were in danger, Blackfoot Cat Brother couldn't just abandon them.

Black-footed Cat is a righteous cat. After hearing Mei-Mei's request, he immediately nodded.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Black-footed Cat nodded calmly, and then found a group of dogs to come over.

"From now on, they will be responsible for picking you up and dropping you off at work, and will act as your bodyguards."

Meimei, as the leader of the cats, also showed her sincerity: "We earn a lot of money working now, and they act as our bodyguards. We are willing to give them twenty yuan every day."

Twenty yuan is enough to buy food.

The cats and dogs reached a consensus, and from then on, whenever the cats went to work, the dogs would follow behind.

To avoid startling passersby, the dogs didn't openly follow the working cats, but rather secretly stalked them.

On the day Bai Li started work, Black-Footed Cat, who had just finished collecting protection money, came over in person.

"Meow."

Long time no see, little kitten.

Bai Li greeted Black Feet Cat Brother obediently: "Long time no see, Brother Black."

Black-footed Cat looked at the chubby kitten in front of him, restraining the urge to pet it, and licked his paws demurely instead.

"Kitty, I'll be your bodyguard today."
