Chapter 58 Are you planning to have a baby?
"Didn't you explain?" Xiang Yun asked.
Xu Songning smiled and said, "Anyway, it's not the first time I've been misunderstood. I'm too lazy to explain. I don't suffer any loss from being misunderstood anyway."
“I’m not at a disadvantage either, and you look beautiful in this outfit.” This wasn’t the first time Xiang Yun had seen her dressed like this; the clothes fit her perfectly, and she looked beautiful no matter what she wore.
"I saw you wearing this outfit before, have you forgotten?" Xiang Yun reminded her.
Xu Songning genuinely didn't remember. She exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Yun, your memory is so good?"
"It's alright."
The car was playing familiar English songs, and Xu Songning hummed along. Riding in Xiang Yun's car, she was basically worry-free and relaxed, listening to music all the way. Before long, the car stopped in front of the pet hospital.
Xu Songning glanced at the shampoo shop next door and saw that the staff had changed to two girls. Sure enough, the male staff member who had been harassing her had been fired.
The Shiba Inu outside the pet hospital still barked wildly when it saw people, but this time, its barking gradually subsided as the two approached.
"Brother Yun, do you think it might remember us? It was barking so fiercely when it was so far away." Xu Songning crossed his arms and looked at the Shiba Inu in the cage.
"Judging from its reaction, it should be." Xiang Yun stood in front of the cage, and the Shiba Inu was immediately shrouded in shadow. It took a few steps back, leaned into the cage, and whimpered softly, no longer daring to bark loudly.
"Oh, so you're playing favorites, aren't you?" Xu Songning squatted down and beckoned with his finger.
The Shiba Inu came closer, barking and sticking out its tongue, grinning obsequiously.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The nurse, hearing the dog barking at the doorbell, skillfully came to the door to greet the guests.
Upon seeing the two people, one standing and one squatting, the nurse's eyes lit up. It was the owner of the three-flowered cat!
"Mr. Xiang, have you come to pick up Sanhua?"
"Yes." Xiang Yun nodded.
Xu Songning went to find Sanhua. As she passed through the various cubicles, she suddenly spotted a beautiful white doll with jewel-like eyes staring at her curiously.
"Hey, Yun-ge, doesn't this look a lot like your stuffed animal?"
Xiang Yun signed the form at the front desk, glanced up, and said, "My doll is quite chubby."
"Hahahaha, don't let Wanzi hear you say that!" Xu Songning laughed.
The nurse handed over another piece of paper, saying, "The fees have all been settled. Please sign here again."
After finishing their official business, the nurse whispered, "You two have such a good relationship."
A slight smile appeared on Xiang Yun's expressionless face. He pursed his lips, deepening the smile, and said, "Thank you."
The nurse, still a little dazed, grabbed the cage key. Good heavens! Not only is he incredibly handsome, but his smile is so irresistible. Having such a beautiful girlfriend is truly a feat for him!
“My darling calico, I’ve come to take you home.” Xu Songning bent down, teasing the calico in the cage with her fingers.
The calico's foot is completely healed. It wags its tail, lazily licks its paws, and walks around in its cage, looking very happy.
As Xiang Yun walked over, he happened to hear the word "baby," and he paused, his Adam's apple bobbing unconsciously.
"What's wrong, Mr. Xiang?" The nurse followed behind him, wondering why he had suddenly stopped.
Xu Songning scratched Sanhua's chin, and Sanhua lay down with a snort, exposing her belly. She turned to Xiang Yun and said, "Sanhua is so cute. Her fur has been washed, and she's much cuter than when we found her."
"Wow, Sanhua really loves you all. It took us so much effort to bathe her and calm her down." The nurse exclaimed. She wasn't exaggerating. When Sanhua first arrived, the commotion it caused was truly frightening. She was completely different from how she was when she was in her owner's arms.
"Luckily, we contacted Mr. Xiang, and he came to help, so Sanhua was able to finish her bath." The nurse didn't forget to praise her owner.
Xu Songning looked at him with a smile, "Brother Yun, you really are very responsible. From now on, Sanhua's bathing will be handled by you."
The word "later" is quite subtle; once it was uttered, both of them paused to think about it, something quite unusual.
Xu Songning momentarily forgot that someone had already adopted Sanhua, and he had forgotten to tell the adopter that Sanhua had a bad temper. He wondered if Sanhua could adapt.
The cage was opened, and Sanhua jumped into Xu Songning's arms with practiced ease, finding a comfortable position to lie down.
The nurse escorted the two to the door. Although she didn't want to see them bring their cat to the vet again, she still wanted to look at such a pleasing couple. She added Xiang Yun on WeChat, but he was clearly very aloof. Apart from saying thank you when she posted photos of the calico cat, he didn't even update his Moments.
"By the way, if Sanhua is to change owners, will she be able to adapt? Will she be stressed? I heard that severe stress in cats can be fatal." Xu Songning held Sanhua in his arms, somewhat nervously.
Xiang Yun knew that she would be taking care of the cat for a month, and that she would hand the calico cat over to the adopter after the adopter came to Shanghai. It was clear that she was reluctant to part with it, but given the nature of their work, keeping the cat would be irresponsible.
“Actually, Sanhua is quite quiet here. It might be because she has companions, or maybe Mr. Xiang brought some toys with his scent, which makes her feel secure. So, except for being naughty during bath time, she's generally quite well-behaved. But changing owners can definitely be a bit of a shock for cats, especially since she's grown up and can't recognize her mother again like a newborn kitten. And not all cats are like that; some cats adapt very well even after changing owners,” the nurse explained.
Xu Songning nodded thoughtfully, "If Sanhua can adapt to her new owner, she can avoid stress reactions."
"Theoretically speaking, that's true." The nurse nodded, then hesitated before asking, "You're not planning to keep it anymore? Are you planning to have a baby?"
Want a baby? Xu Songning glanced at Xiang Yun, who didn't speak. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, neither offering an explanation. Oh well, they're already blacklisted anyway, who cares how much blacklisted they are?
"No, Sanhua is a cat we found. We haven't been able to find an owner yet, and our jobs make it inconvenient for us to keep her, so we wanted to find her a home. Thank you for taking care of her all this time. I understand the situation," Xu Songning said with a smile.
The young nurse blushed, nodded, and waved, "Goodbye."
Xu Songning held the calico cat like a baby, lifting it close to his chest, and sniffed its fur. There was no strange smell, so it seemed to have been bathed not long ago.
Sanhua was in high spirits and didn't move around much in her arms, letting her fuss over her for a while. She hugged the cat and nudged Xiang Yun's arm with the cat's head, "Oh dear, Mr. Xiang, are you planning to have a baby?"
Xiang Yun opened the car door, her hand resting on the roof, "I'm planning to have a baby, and no one else can give it to me."
