Their gazes collided in mid-air.

Lu Yanwei's long, slender eyebrows relaxed, and his dark gaze slowly heated up, like two burning, flickering sparks. When his gaze met Yu Qiao's, he blinked, and his lips curved into an excited and infatuated smile.

Holding Yu Qiao's hand, Lu Yanwei's voice was low and alluring: "Baby..."

Yu Qiao stared at him blankly, her icy green cat eyes sparkling like rare emeralds. She was a beat late and tilted her head to stare at Lu Yanwei.

"……ah?"

"Don't you have anything to say to me? I was so worried about you." Lu Yanwei's dark gaze fell on Yu Qiao's slender white wrist. Her black hair fell over her delicate white brow bone, and her slightly long eyes drooped down. She looked like a pitiful little dog with her head down and eyes downcast.

His demeanor was completely different from that of Lu Yanwei, whom she had seen before he fell into a coma.

Yu Qiao's thick eyelashes trembled. Her internal organs were still aching, but the bone in her left leg should have been set, so she didn't feel much pain.

She pursed her lips, abruptly looked away, silently clutched the white sheet, and two ears popped out from her head.

The tips of her ears turned bright red.

Thinking about what she was going to do, Yu Qiao's pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly. She pursed her lips, opened her arms to Lu Yanwei, and uttered two words almost inaudibly and slowly: "Hug."

ah! ?

hug……

Lu Yanwei was stunned.

His dark pupils widened slightly, and his handsome face looked like that of a silly dog, revealing an expression of infatuation and fanaticism. He suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

With his head nestled against Yu Qiao's collarbone, Lu Yanwei's breathing became disordered, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Baby, hug me."

Yu Qiao's cat ears twitched, and she snuggled into Lu Yanwei's arms.

“The other cats are housed at home, and several veterinarians are taking care of them.” Lu Yanwei’s jade-like fingers twirled Yu Qiao’s long hair. The fragrance lingering around his nose was very pleasant. He couldn’t help but feel excited, and his slender, fair neck began to turn an unusual red.

He tapped his knuckles on the girl's smooth, delicate skin, but when he saw her weak, pale face, he couldn't help but despise himself.

What a beast! At a time like this, he's still thinking about that kind of thing.

Lu Yanwei's cold fingers caressed Yu Qiao's wrist, his chest heaving unsteadily. After a moment of silence, he pushed Yu Qiao away, stood up, and walked towards the restroom.

Yu Qiao was stunned when she was suddenly pushed away, and then she heard the sound of water dripping inside.

And the man's sexy, husky voice.

Yu Qiao shyly covered her ears and her face with her other hand.

Much later.

Yu Qiao curled up in the blanket, turning back into a little cat in a ball, pressing her paws to her ears, and blushing as she thought.

It's been two hours, are you still not done washing?

————

One week later.

"Aren't we going home?" Yu Qiao's excited little face crumpled up when she saw the increasingly unfamiliar road. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and she leaned against the window, looking at Lu Yanwei with a puzzled expression.

In the enclosed space of the car, the girl's unique fragrance wafted around Lu Yanwei's nose. His well-defined, long-fingered hands gripped the steering wheel. He glanced at Yu Qiao's curious face out of the corner of his eye and said in a low, husky voice, "We're going home."

“But this isn’t the way home.” Yu Qiao turned around and leaned against the car door.

"Go back to my home."

“Your house isn’t on this road either?” Yu Qiao frowned even more, her cat ears peeking out as she reached out and touched them.

Lu Yanwei couldn't help but curl his lips upward: "I bought that house so that I could be closer to you."

“…Oh.” Yu Qiao was silent for a moment, thinking of the first time she met Lu Yanwei, when he had that dream and was panting as he called her name.

Her fair cheeks were slightly flushed, and she wore two small cat ears that looked like they were about to burst into smoke. She bit her lip with her pearly teeth and remained silent.

A smile flashed quickly across Lu Yanwei's dark eyes.

Royal Bay Castle stands majestically amidst the forest and on the edge of the city, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.

The vehicle was parked at the entrance.

"Baby, get out of the car." Lu Yanwei opened the car door, knelt down on one knee to put shoes on Yu Qiao, and took her hand.

Yu Qiao got out of the car, grabbed Lu Yanwei's hand, and looked around: "Wow, it's huge! How much did this cost!"

"You don't need to spend any money, it's all yours." Lu Yanwei stroked her slender white wrist.

Two security guards came over and greeted him: "Mr. Lu."

Lu Yanwei responded softly.

The gatekeeper opened the gate, and Lu Yanwei led Yu Qiao inside. There was a large lake and lawn, as well as various flowers and fountains, with a golf course on the side.

The area it occupies can almost be described as boundless.

As I approached the entrance to the hall, I could faintly hear sounds coming from inside.

"Are you really my son's girlfriend?"

Lu Yanwei frowned; it was his mother Chu Yun's voice.

"Auntie, I know that you find it hard to believe that Brother Lu would be interested in me in my current state, but I am still the daughter of the Wei family. I would not lie to you. Or, take a look at this. Can it prove that I am Brother Lu's girlfriend?"

Lu Yanwei frowned. That was the voice of the woman who had harassed him. How did she get in?

And what girlfriend?

His girlfriend is a baby!

"You have other girlfriends?" Yu Qiao pressed her ear against the door to listen, paused for a moment, and then looked up at Lu Yanwei.

"I didn't." Lu Yanwei looked shocked, holding Yu Qiao's hand tightly, his anxiety clearly visible: "Baby, I... I don't know how that woman ended up in my house."

"Okay, I was just kidding." Yu Qiao pushed away Lu Yanwei's aggrieved face as he leaned in.

Lu Yanwei took the opportunity to hold Yu Qiao's hand and kiss it.

"This is outrageous!"

"Bring Lu Yanwei back to me right now! How could he do something so immoral and unfaithful!"

A loud "bang" came from inside.

The one speaking now is Lu Yanwei's father, Lu Hanyu, whose voice sounds extremely angry.

Wei Wei's sobbing voice rang out: "I don't blame Brother Lu, women in the entertainment industry are used to using dirty and despicable methods to seduce him..."

Lu Yanwei pushed open the door, his long eyebrows furrowing in a menacing manner, his voice icy: "I'd like to know what I did."

Wei Wei, who was crying her heart out, was stunned. She forgot to let the tears fall from her eyes. In an instant, her blood ran cold. When she met Lu Yanwei's dark and gloomy eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine.

It's over. It's finished.

"Son, you're finally back! Mom's too old to handle any shocks." Chu Yun said anxiously as she rushed forward. "Mom wanted you to find someone, but I never imagined you'd date someone with such a peculiar appearance! And you even cheated on me...?"

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Yu Qiao, Lu Yanwei's girlfriend." Yu Qiao peeked out from behind Lu Yanwei, hesitated for a few seconds, and then introduced herself.

"Yu Yu Yu Qiao!" Chu Yun's eyes widened: "The Yu Qiao who can sing and dance? The one who's really pretty? The Yu Qiao from the poster my son collects?!"

"That should be true." Yu Qiao nodded.

"Son!" Chu Yun was stunned: "How many girlfriends do you have? This Wei Wei also claims to be your girlfriend, and there are even selfies of her taken in your room."

Lu Hanyu: "Son, our Lu family doesn't have the tradition of keeping mistresses."

Wei Wei's face was pale. She didn't know if Lu Hanyu meant it or not, but she felt that his words were directed at her mother.

After all, the Wei family's chaotic private life was well-known, and they had countless illegitimate children. She was only able to return to the Wei family because her mother was favored by the head of the Wei family.

Wei Wei looked at Lu Yanwei with trembling eyes. When her gaze met Lu Yanwei's cold and sinister eyes, she looked away and was covered in cold sweat.

what to do?

Why did Lu Yanwei come back?

Are those damn private investigators' brains filled with shit? Didn't they say Lu Yanwei couldn't return to Royal Bay Castle even once every six months?!

"Wei Wei." Lu Yanwei's gaze fell on the watch on Wei Wei's wrist; it was his.

Wei Wei's hands trembled and she shrank back, her eyes flickering. Not wanting to be questioned, she quickly put on a mask, her slender shoulders trembling slightly: "I don't know anything. I'm leaving now, Brother Lu. Since you have a new love, I won't bother you anymore."

Lu Yanwei's gaze sharpened, and the three bodyguards at the door immediately appeared to stop Wei Wei from fleeing in panic.

He turned his long eyes to the side, his voice icy: "Why are my watch, diamond ring, and necklace on you?"

These three items were all designed and made by him personally for the baby.

Now, why is another woman wearing it?

Lu Yanwei frowned, his eyelids lowered to conceal the fierceness in his eyes.

"This...this is my own thing, I don't know what you're talking about..." Wei Wei lowered her head and bit her lip, her hands trembling even more violently, her back soaked with cold sweat.

These were all the things she found when she ran into Lu Yanwei's house that day; she packed up and took most of the jewelry with her.

She came to Royal Bay Castle today hoping to get a large sum of money from Lu Yanwei's parents so she could go abroad, not have to rely on the Wei family, and live a prosperous life.

After all, for a top-tier wealthy family like the Lu family, even a small amount of money would be enough for her to squander for a lifetime.

Besides, wasn't her face ruined by Lu Yanwei's cat? Doesn't Lu Yanwei have to take responsibility for her?

Wei Wei gritted her teeth: "Get out of my way, I want to leave!"

Chu Yun quickly said, "Son, this Wei Wei came to our house and said she was your girlfriend. She accused you of cheating on her with a mistress and even having someone assault and slash her face. I don't believe it."

“Hmm.” Lu Hanyu also frowned: “Wei Wei spoke with great conviction, and there were even photos of your private residence. I almost… believed her.”

Lu Yanwei rubbed his aching temples with his long fingers, his long black eyelashes trembling for a moment, and said, word by word, "Call the police."

"Don't call the police!" Wei Wei panicked, tears instantly streaming down her face as she removed her mask. "Lu Yanwei, I love you so much, you can't do this to me!"

"Besides, my face was scratched by your cat, so you should be responsible. These things I took are your compensation to me!"

Her small face was covered with hideous, dense bloodstains, some of which were deep and hadn't scabbed over, and the blood burst out again as she contorted her facial movements.

A deep resentment flashed in her eyes.

"You're talking nonsense!" Yu Qiao flashed a set of white teeth, her icy green cat eyes glaring fiercely at Wei Wei: "If you hadn't gone crazy and abused the cat, how could that cute and pretty cat have scratched you! You deserved it!"

She's the person involved!

"Shut up!" Wei Wei gritted her teeth, her face contorted with rage. "A beast! Even if I kill it, it's still a beast! A worthless life!"

"What right do you have to criticize me, Yu Qiao?" Wei Wei sneered. "An actress in the entertainment industry, a used slut who's slept with countless men. Do you think Brother Lu genuinely liked you when he was with you? He just wanted to sleep with you because of your plastic surgery face, and after he was done with you..."

With a "smack," she received a hard slap on the face from Yu Qiao.

The face, already stained with blood, was now contorted in pain, with pus-filled blood oozing from the lower half.

She was an illegitimate child from a low-class family, with only 20,000 yuan a month for living expenses. She spent money extravagantly, which led to her not being able to afford medical treatment at the hospital.

In addition, she wanted to use her miserable appearance to gain sympathy from Chu Yun and Lu Hanyu and extort more money, so she never dealt with it.

It's oozing yellowish-green pus-filled blood, and the pain is so intense that half my face is numb.

Yu Qiao punched her head, her beautiful eyebrows radiating a bone-chilling coldness, and her usually sweet voice was now icy cold as if it had been poisoned: "If you're bored, go lick the toilet."

"Aaaaaah! You bitch, how dare you hit me..."

"Bang--"

Wei Wei was kicked dozens of meters away by Yu Qiao. She screamed in pain, clutching her chest and face, wailing and crying, vomiting a pool of blood and fainting.

Cats are most amazing at using their legs.

Yu Qiao rotated her ankle.

"Baby, come here." Lu Yanwei shook his head helplessly, pulled Yu Qiao behind him, glanced at Wei Wei who had fainted with her eyes rolled back, his long eyebrows furrowed in a cold expression, and looked at Lu Hanyu.

Lu Hanyu sighed, signaled his bodyguard to take the person to the hospital for care, and then dialed Wei Wei's father's number.

The father pays for the daughter's debts.

"..."

"Baby, come with Mommy to the back garden and see the kittens." Lu Yanwei's well-defined hand grasped hers, and he asked in a low voice, "Okay?"

Yu Qiao was a little shy. She tugged at Lu Yanwei's clothes with her small hands, pursed her lips, wanting to refuse but afraid of being impolite.

"Of course! You brought back those cats, and there are still more than a dozen that haven't found their owners. They're so well-behaved, Qiaoqiao, I'll take you to play with them. I'm sure you'll love them." Chu Yun was a social butterfly, a bit naive and sweet. As soon as she heard Lu Yanwei's words, she immediately grabbed Yu Qiao and ran outside.

Yu Qiao didn't even have a chance to refuse.

The moment Yu Qiao left, Lu Yanwei's expression suddenly turned cold, the veins on his arms under his shirt bulged, and his eyes were filled with disgust and anger.

His engagement ring!

Wei Wei, the Wei family, you're truly admirable.

...

"Meow meow meow~" The Blue Mountain plush toy lay on Yu Qiao's feet, affectionately showing its belly.

Chu Yun glared at him: "That naughty cat! He runs away faster than a rabbit when I want to pet him, but now he's actually letting my daughter-in-law touch his belly. Am I not gentle enough?!"

Daughter-in-law...

Yu Qiao's ears suddenly turned red. She squatted down and rubbed the belly of the Blue Mountain doll, whispering, "Auntie, feel it now."

"I don't care to touch him now." Chu Yun snorted and turned her head to pet another kitten's... butt.

"Meow~" The kitten's ears twitched as it struggled to escape.

"Auntie, if you touch the kitten here, she'll get shy." Yu Qiao's voice became weak, and she blinked as she looked at the kitten's pleading eyes.

The kitten meowed twice more, its voice trembling with suppressed anger.

"Huh?" Chu Yun was shocked: "So that's why they wouldn't let me touch them."

The two chatted for a while and got along better and better. In the end, Chu Yun insisted on calling each other sisters.

Yu Qiao's lips twitched slightly.

"Qiaoqiao, you're so beautiful, your child must look like you, otherwise he'll end up like that brat Lu Yanwei, always with a sour face, making me lose my appetite." Chu Yun said with a smile, holding a kitten in each hand, her gaze fixed on Yu Qiao, finding her more and more pleasing to the eye.

Yu Qiao was stunned.

The cat's eyes widened as it stared at the rolling kitten, its ears poised to pop out.

Yu Qiao shyly raised her hand and pressed down.

She gave birth to kittens.

Or is he a villain?
