Chapter 58 Rewarding You with Dinner
Before dinner, Qi Huaijing half-knelt on the floor of the east room, looking at the little thing nestled on the floral carpet, his brows tightly knitted.
"Is this another...gift from Lidong's wife?"
A palm-sized kitten, with small eyes, a flat nose, messy yellow fur all over its body, and a skinny body. There was a bald spot on its tail that seemed to have been bitten by something.
Chen Tang leaned against his side and nodded continuously.
"Yes, yes, it's better than the toad I gave you, right?"
Qi Huaijing snorted lightly, stood up, and brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes.
"Not much better. I don't know where she picked it up, it's so dirty. You should give it back to Lidong, we won't keep it."
Chen Tang followed immediately.
"It's not dirty. I've already bathed it twice."
"That won't do either. It's too ugly! If you want to keep a cat to relieve your boredom, I'll find you a snow-white Persian cat tomorrow. It's clean and beautiful."
"I don't want it. It's just a first come, it's already taken its place."
Qi Huaijing sat on the kang and looked at the clown cat from afar with disgust.
"Oh, how come I didn't know that it has taken up a place in my house?"
"I helped it occupy it - is this your home?"
"…our family."
Chen Tang sat down next to him and pushed his legs which were half bent on the couch.
"Good brother, let's raise it. I'll take care of it. I helped raise my daughter Li'er, so I can definitely take good care of it. When it grows up, it can help catch mice at home."
Qi Huaijing choked on the hot tea, coughed, and raised his eyes to look at the magnificent main room decorated with flowers.
He had never seen a mouse in the Qi family since he was a child.
"Forget it. If you really want to keep it, just let Huaping... Bailu... any maidservant take care of it. When you want to see it, just go and have a look during the day."
Chen Tang originally thought that he had agreed, and was half happy, but after hearing what he said next, he began to think again.
"What if... I want to see it at night?"
Qi Huaijing put down the teacup with a casual smile on his lips.
"You want to see it at night?"
"Um!"
"Then I leave? You sleep with it in your arms?"
"Well……"
Seeing that she seemed to have thought about it seriously, Qi Huaijing immediately tapped her head.
"You are not allowed to keep it! Get rid of it!"
Chen Tang: “…”
Chen Tang already knew that Qi Huaijing never liked ugly things, so it would be difficult to get him to agree to keep this clown cat.
But she has a trick up her sleeve.
This trick was so effective, so effective that... she was a little reluctant to use it.
She only needed to pick up the little wild cat, put it on the table in front of him, then touch the cat's head with her slender hands and say something leisurely...
"Look, it has no mother either..."
Qi Huaijing agreed immediately.
…
She looked at Qi Huaijing, who was lying lazily on the couch with a faint smile on his face, and changed her mind.
"If you don't want to keep the cat, then don't keep it. Then tell Lidong to come over tomorrow and take the cat away."
Qi Huaijing was a little surprised to see that she had changed her mind.
He originally wanted to wait and see Chen Tang act like a spoiled brat, and then he would reluctantly agree to her, and then she would be overjoyed, and he would take the opportunity to blackmail her...
Unexpectedly, she was so understanding and agreed very gracefully.
"…Are you really not going to raise him anymore?"
Shen Tang nodded calmly.
"I won't raise it anymore, since you don't like it so much anyway."
I really don't like it, but...
Qi Huaijing didn't say anything for a while, and began to reflect in his heart -
Did I go too far this time? Didn't I originally want her to live a willful life? But since we got married, she has rarely been willful. Instead, why do I always have to quarrel with her...
He was thinking about whether to change his words, but Shen Tang waved his hand calmly.
"Eat, I've been waiting for you to have dinner."
"……good."
Qi Huaijing looked back at the clown cat and thought, it's really too ugly, so I'd better not keep it. I'll pick a good-looking cat for her another day.
The maids quickly served dinner, which was all the dishes that the couple loved to eat in the past.
Except for a bowl of warm milk.
"This is……"
Before he could ask, Shen Tang answered first: "This is for you. It's cold, drink it to warm yourself up."
Qi Huaijing was half-believing, he picked it up and took a sip, it tasted quite good.
Chen Tang added: "Oh, by the way, the cat hasn't had its meal yet, and Lidong won't be here until tomorrow morning... Husband, do you think we should take care of it and have a meal?"
Qi Huaijing looked up at her, and already knew that the bowl of milk was not his, so he nodded indifferently.
"That should be the case. If such a small cat starves to death, we can only give him a dead cat."
Shen Tang also nodded.
"that is."
She looked at the table full of delicious food.
"Oh, there's not much food for a cat to eat! Look... How about giving it half of your bowl of milk?"
Qi Huaijing sighed with pretended reluctance.
"Oh well."
Chen Tang took a small silver plate, poured half a bowl of warm milk, and handed it to Qi Huaijing without getting up.
He caught it subconsciously.
"Um?"
"You are closer than I am, so please put this plate in front of the cat and let it drink. Oh, don't give it to the maids. This plate is shallow and if you pass it around, it will spill all over the floor. Go ahead."
Qi Huaijing had no idea what she was planning, so he got up from the couch, walked over to the ugly cat in two or three steps, bent down to put down the plate, and was about to go back to continue eating when Chen Tang asked again.
"Did the cat drink?"
He stopped and looked back. The kitten seemed a little afraid of him. It shrank its head and meowed.
"No."
"Feed it."
"Um?"
"The cat is too young. It probably doesn't know that it can drink milk. Just feed it a little. Once it knows it tastes good, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
That makes sense.
Qi Huaijing kicked the small silver plate towards the cat with his toes.
"Hey, ugly bastard, this is the dinner my wife gave you."
The cat looked at the milk in the silver dish, then raised its amber eyes and meowed at him.
Seeing that the cat still wouldn't eat, he half-knelt down, trying to push its head down to taste it. As soon as it touched the cat fur that had been washed soft and fragrant by Chen Tang, the kitten rubbed against it.
"Meow~"
Qi Huaijing felt his hand go soft.
He paused, asked the maid to bring a small spoon, scooped a spoonful of milk, and handed it to Maoer.
"Here, ugly thing, try it."
The cat was also hungry. It sniffed left and right for a while before it dared to lick the edge of the spoon. It glanced at him again, and suddenly put down the spoon. It leaned over to the silver plate and began to lick it in small sips.
Qi Huaijing felt relieved and stood up to go back to report.
“It drank it.”
Chen Tang exclaimed "Ah!" and leaned over to take a look. Seeing that the cat had really drunk it, he praised him with a smile.
"My husband is so awesome. Even cats listen to you."
Qi Huaijing picked up his chopsticks to eat and raised his thick eyebrows slightly.
"That little thing is very stupid."
The corners of Shen Tang's lips curled up slightly, and there was a cunning flash in his eyes.
"I'm so small, how can I be smarter than you?"
