Chapter 73
Bai Cangze patted Ji Mingqing's neck with his paw, but Ji Mingqing didn't care at all. "Come, do you want me to hold you?"
Bai Cangze was about to jump to the ground, but was stopped by Ji Mingqing who was quick to pull him back onto his shoulders, patted his back and admitted his mistake.
"Okay, okay, I won't say that again." Ji Mingqing looked at Xiaowan's angry expression and said with a smile, "You little kitty, you still care about this."
"I'm not a cat." Bai Cangze retorted coldly, tilting his head and refusing to communicate with Ji Mingqing.
Ji Mingqing was overjoyed, but he didn't dare laugh out loud. He could only grin and keep that expression all the way back to Fengxi Garden.
"Boss, you're back?" Before Ji Mingqing approached the courtyard, he saw Xu Yihe waiting for him at the door.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Ji Mingqing pushed open the door and motioned Xu Yihe to go into the yard with him.
Xu Yihe glanced at Bai Cangze on Ji Mingqing's shoulder, took a deep breath and spoke.
"I have a friend who's quite skilled in stone carving and has been immersed in the art for years. I just contacted him using my immortal ring, and he's also very interested in this bridge. If the boss doesn't mind, I can have him try it out."
It was like sending a pillow just when I was sleepy. Ji Mingqing patted Xu Yihe's shoulder and said, "Thanks, brother."
Brother? Bai Cangze's eyes widened when he heard this title. Why was Xu Yihe a brother? Why was he, the Palace Master of Kunze Palace, just a younger brother?
Bai Cangze is unhappy!
For some reason, Ji Mingqing suddenly felt a low pressure of negative emotions coming towards him. He turned around and saw Xiao Wang standing on his shoulder, maintaining his usual expression, staring at Xu Yihe who was standing opposite him.
"Then ask him to come over and try. I trust the person you introduced." Ji Mingqing asked Xu Yihe to go out quickly to contact the person. In fact, he was anxious to talk to Xiaowan.
Just after Xu Yihe left, Ji Mingqing quickly placed Xiaowan on the stone table and asked with anticipation and worry, "Xiaowan, were you unhappy just now?"
Ji Mingqing rubbed Xiaowan's head. Xiaowan didn't dodge. Seeing this, Ji Mingqing took advantage of it and reached out to scratch Xiaowan's chin. Xiaowan was so comfortable with his massage that she rewarded him with a "humph."
It seemed that his feeling was correct. Ji Mingqing quickly took advantage of the opportunity when Xiaowan softened and asked humbly, "What happened just now? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
"I didn't." Bai Cangze retorted without thinking. Ji Mingqing pressed on, "You're definitely unhappy. I just felt it! You were extremely angry, as if you were going to beat Xu Yihe up."
Ji Mingqing didn’t know whether his feeling was right or not, but he just wanted to trick Cang Ze.
It doesn’t cost any money to cheat!
"How is it possible? How can you feel it..." When Bai Cangze said this, he saw Ji Mingqing's slightly inquiring eyes, and he realized that Ji Mingqing was not at all like what he said.
That's right, how could someone be able to sense other people's emotions without looking at their expressions, unless...
Unless what it was? Bai Cangze couldn't remember clearly.
"Ha! I was right, didn't you? Don't hide it. I knew you were unhappy just now. Come on, tell me why."
"No reason." Bai Cangze curled his lips and turned to leave, but was stopped by Ji Mingqing.
"Don't go, forget it. We're already home, so why are you going anywhere?" Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze with a smile, "I'll make you something different for dinner tonight. You'll definitely be happy after eating it."
"Hmph." Bai Cangze snorted again, but he really listened to Ji Mingqing's words and did not leave. Instead, he jumped into the "cat's nest" that Ji Mingqing had prepared for him, closed his eyes, and used his spiritual sense to patrol the fairyland.
At the same time, Ji Mingqing came to the kitchen and took out the things he had just bought from Yang Lingkong. If a modern person saw them, they would definitely recognize that these were all necessary tools for making cakes.
However, these things were not originally used for making cakes. For example, the thing that looked like an egg beater was actually a thing called a "liquid pestle" that was specifically used to pound spiritual liquid.
The square-shaped thing that looks like a mold is a replacement part for the car.
There were also some miscellaneous items, all of which were tools and ingredients that Ji Mingqing had carefully selected and could be used.
After coming to the fairyland, he has never made a proper cake. Yang Yubei can make some ancient Chinese pastries, so he has never thought of making European cakes. Today he is interested in it, so why not make it today and give Xiaowan something different to eat.
I hope Xiaowan won’t be upset anymore.
Thinking of the sulking Xiaowan's angry face, Ji Mingqing's heart softened. This little cat is really cute. The more arrogant and ignoring he is, the more popular he is.
Otherwise, I might as well get a dog in a couple of days to balance it out.
While Ji Mingqing was making the cake, his thoughts were flying away.
He made two simple cakes today, the chiffon cakes he was most familiar with making at home. He couldn't remember the recipes for the other cakes and needed to study them further.
Ji Mingqing used the same batter to make two large chiffon cakes, and then used a box that looked like a medicine box to make a few small cakes, about the size of half a cupcake.
These are specially for Xiaowan!
He was going to send the bigger one to Xu Yihe later. Xu Yihe had helped him a lot, even without asking for anything in return. Ji Mingqing was going to thank him properly.
Bai Cangze woke up to a sweet smell. He walked into the kitchen and saw Ji Mingqing cooking as usual. The huge refining furnace next to him was emitting white smoke, and the fragrance also came from the refining furnace.
"What's in here?" Bai Cangze asked. He stretched out his claws to lift the lid and take a look, but was grabbed by Ji Mingqing and held in his arms.
"Wait a while before opening it. Opening it now will affect the cake's fluffiness."
Bai Cangze didn't understand, but since he couldn't open it, he wouldn't deliberately go forward to cause trouble.
Could Ji Mingqing put him down? Bai Cangze discovered that Ji Mingqing really liked to be touchy-feely recently. The person who used to be afraid to touch the tail, now began to stroke it from head to tail without restraint. After touching it, he even looked at him with a clear conscience, without any guilt at all.
Today, Yang Lingkong even saw it...
Thinking of this, Bai Cangze felt a little angry, "When we go out in the future, you and I should not be too close." Bai Cangze struggled to break free from Ji Mingqing's arms and spoke seriously.
"Why?" Ji Mingqing was puzzled. He stared at Bai Cangze with a hurt expression.
Was Xiaowan angry about this? Because he touched him? That's not right. He had touched me many times before, so why did he suddenly say no now?
Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing's expression and opened his mouth, not knowing where to start explaining. He couldn't just tell him that Yang Lingkong was his subordinate and it would be bad if she saw it.
"Okay, I get it..." Ji Mingqing lowered his eyes, lowered his head, and twirled his fingers nervously, "If you don't like me, don't do this again."
The voice became lower and lower, until in the end only a faint breath remained.
"Forget it, do whatever you want." Bai Cangze's heart softened. After all, he didn't want to see Ji Mingqing so depressed.
Anyway, those subordinates didn't dare to say anything more.
Unexpectedly, Ji Mingqing shook his head and gave Bai Cangze a forced smile.
"It's okay, I respect your idea." After saying that, he turned around and rummaged through the storage bag.
"What are you looking for?" Seeing that Ji Mingqing had been rummaging for a long time without finding anything, Bai Cangze asked curiously.
Ji Mingqing grumbled, "I bought a pair of gloves a while ago and plan to wear them later. This way, when I hold you, my hands won't touch your fur. You should feel more comfortable."
Bai Cangze's eyes twitched slightly, "What a mess, why did you think of this?"
Ji Mingqing's tone was a little aggrieved. "Didn't you say that? If you don't like me touching you, then I'll just wear gloves. Isn't it better to solve the problem fundamentally?"
"Who said I don't like you touching me? I mean it's not nice to do this outside." Bai Cangze's voice doubled in volume, "Don't always think too much, everything you think is wrong!"
"So you mean it's not allowed outside, but it's okay at home?" Ji Mingqing raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Cangze slightly, waiting for Bai Cangze's answer with a pitiful look.
"Yes, yes, it's okay at home." Bai Cangze said helplessly, "I can't be as carefree as I am at home outside. There are so many eyes outside. It's not good to be seen."
Especially his own subordinates, if they are seen by others, there may be rumors spread.
"Well... okay then." I didn't expect Xiaowan to be such a shy kitten. If you had told him it was because of this earlier, he wouldn't have to pretend so hard.
Ji Mingqing couldn't hold it in any longer. He quickly stood up from the table, turned his back to Xiaowan, and spoke facing the refining furnace.
"Then you go out first. I'll call you after dinner."
Hearing Ji Mingqing's calm tone and his normal expression before turning around, he left, looking back every few steps.
Little did he know that Ji Mingqing, with his back to Bai Cangze, was already laughing silently in the curling smoke rising from the alchemy furnace.
From now on, I can do whatever I want to Xiaowan at home.
As expected, as long as you are alive, surprises will appear!
