One of the chefs sighed, "Never mind, Xiao Li, go to the back storeroom and get the ladder."
Geng Ying's eyes lit up, and she quickly thanked him.
The man frowned, waved his hand without saying anything, and just stared wistfully at the cake remnants on the ground.
Geng Ying glanced at the cake on the ground with a regretful expression, then turned her attention back to Song Shang on the refrigerator.
The refrigerators in the kitchen are huge integrated freezers, about the height of two people.
At this moment, Song Shang stood on top of the refrigerator, his small body displaying a rather imposing presence.
He lowered his eyes and looked down at Geng Ying, who was on the verge of tears, with a puzzled expression.
He and Geng Ying had only spent a few days together, and he was in danger. Why was she so sad?
Moreover...
He leaned forward slightly and glanced at the height of his position.
At such a low height, he wouldn't die from the fall at all.
He could easily jump down; he wouldn't need a ladder at all.
The key point is!
Can Geng Ying leave now?
This was a chance he had finally found to escape.
He definitely won't let it go.
Song Shang rubbed his claws slightly, looked up at the open door of the kitchen, his limbs tense, looking ready to pounce.
Geng Ying watched him from below, her heart clenching.
She cried out repeatedly, "Baby! Don't jump! You'll get hurt!"
Cats are not very sensitive to height, and kittens have no concept of such a high place.
Geng Ying looked at Song Shang's jumping posture with an all-too-familiarity. She took two steps back, her eyes fixed on his hind legs, ready to catch him the moment he landed.
Song Shang ignored Geng Ying below, gathered his strength, pushed off with all four limbs, and flew directly into the air.
Song Shang stared at the gate not far away, his eyes sparkling.
In his mind, once he jumped out of the door, there would be a small emergency exit to the left, just big enough for one person to pass through.
Once he runs away, he'll be free!
Thump!
Song Shang felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, a familiar fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and he was enveloped by the cold fabric of a down jacket.
His mind went blank for a moment, and before he could react, Geng Ying's voice rang in his ears, "Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Sweetie's alright! That's great! Waaah... That's really great! She's not hurt! You scared Mommy to death!! Waaah..."
Geng Ying cupped Song Shang's armpits with both hands, buried his face in his neck, and patted his back gently with her other hand, as if to comfort him.
"Meow!!!" Song Shang cried out in a hoarse voice.
Why!?
He had already calculated everything and planned to jump straight out the door!
Why was this woman able to intercept him halfway?!
Help!
"Um... the ladder... should I put it back?" A chef standing at the door, holding a triangular ladder as tall as a person, stared at Geng Ying's exaggerated appearance and hesitated before speaking.
"Okay, okay!" Geng Ying tightened her grip on Song Shang, looked up at him, and said, "Thank you for your help!"
She hugged Song Shang and used his body to wipe away her tears.
Song Shangsheng stared blankly at the overhead light, feeling his fur getting wet, and could only protest with weak cries.
"Alright, alright, baby, don't be afraid anymore." Geng Ying hugged him and coaxed him softly, "You can't run to such a high place again next time. Luckily, I used to have cats and I'm familiar with your body language, otherwise, judging from the way you jumped down just now, you would have been half-crippled if not killed!"
Song Shang stretched out in her arms, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear. His body was stiff, like a corpse, and he had no expression.
It would be better if he died!
He, a dignified fox clan wizard, was injured and immediately kept as a pet by a human woman, unable to even do what he wanted to do.
This is so frustrating!!
Has anyone spoken up for him?
Geng Ying glanced at Song Shang, who had quieted down in her arms, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked straight to the cake ruins, and with a guilty expression, took out her phone. "I'm sorry, I accidentally knocked it over. How much? I'll pay for it."
"Ah!!" A heart-wrenching male voice rang out, "My cake!"
Geng Ying froze, watching as the chefs in the kitchen all looked in the same direction with fear on their faces.
She swallowed hard, hesitated, and turned her head away.
Upon first glance, the man in the black bespoke suit, his black hair meticulously combed back, revealed pain and gloom on his otherwise refined face.
Geng Ying forced a smile, hugged Song Shang tightly, and cautiously approached, "I'm so sorry, I accidentally ruined your cake. I'll pay for it! If there are any other losses, I'll cover them too!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinfeng was about to lose his temper when he turned his head and happened to meet Geng Ying's bright and cheerful face.
At this moment, her face was filled with apprehension and worry, which added to her vulnerability.
Xue Qinfeng swallowed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth and squeezed out two words, "It's nothing!"
"It's perfectly normal!" Xue Qinfeng straightened his clothes and smiled. "It's normal for the cake to be spoiled; you don't need to pay for it."
Geng Ying frowned slightly, staring at his appearance, feeling that this person was not serious, and her voice turned cold, "You should still compensate."
She took out her phone. "Shall I scan your QR code?"
Xue Qinfeng's eyes flashed, and he took out his phone. "Adding contact information, right? Okay!"
Geng Ying twitched the corner of her mouth, "No... payment code."
"No!" Xue Qinfeng pulled up his contact information and pushed his phone forward.
Geng Ying glanced at him, bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at him anyway.
bite.
It's a notification from a friend who accepted my request.
Song Shang, who was in Geng Ying's arms, finally raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of Geng Ying.
Seeing the amazement in Xue Qinfeng's eyes, he muttered to himself.
It turns out it was that lecherous Xue Qinfeng!
Just like Tang Song, a piece of trash!
Song Shang snorted heavily, turned his head to stare at Geng Ying's phone screen, and meowed.
Fool!
You big idiot!
Geng Ying lowered her eyes, patted Song Shang in her arms, and said to Xue Qinfeng, "I'll transfer you."
"No need!" Xue Qinfeng declined softly. "If you really feel bad, it just so happens that it's my birthday today, and the birthday banquet is in the main hall upstairs. Why don't you come and join in the fun? Consider it a way of celebrating my birthday too?"
"Meow~" Song Shang breathed on Xue Qinfeng, "Ha~"
What a piece of trash!?
Would he really extend an invitation to this woman?
Although Geng Ying's "imprisonment" of him was really excessive, she was only perverted towards cats.
She's still kind to people. Xue Qinfeng is a philandering scoundrel; don't get close to her!
Xue Qinfeng was taken aback by Song Shang's appearance and subconsciously took a step back, then chuckled, "Your cat?"
Geng Ying stared at Song Shang in astonishment at his protective demeanor, then exclaimed with delight, "Yes, yes, yes! Mine! My sweet bean will protect me too!?"
Geng Ying picked up Song Shang, affectionately rubbed his little head, and chuckled.
When Xue Qinfeng saw her demeanor, which was completely different from her appearance, his mind went blank for a moment.
The next moment, I actually found her quite cute. "Taking the kitten along?"
