"Meow~"
Yu Chaoxi flailed her four paws incessantly, trying to break free from the man's control.
Huo Linyuan's hands remained motionless as he carried her to the landline by the bed, preparing to call the front desk to send someone to take the cat away.
Yu Chaoxi anticipated his movements, grabbed his hands with her two front paws, and swept her fluffy white tail downwards to block the landline phone on the table.
"Meow!" Don't hit me!
Huo Linyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Did you do that on purpose?"
The soft white cat looked at him pitifully, raised its tail and curled it around his arm, wrapping it tightly.
"Meow."
Huo Linyuan actually saw a hint of...pleading in her eyes?
The kitten's watery eyes shone with a light, and its two front paws kept patting his arm, trying to please him.
"Want to follow me?"
Huo Linyuan initially thought it was just a coincidence, and that his question was just a casual remark. However, the next moment, the fluffy tail gently brushed against his arm, and the soft fur tickled the inside of his arm.
Huo Linyuan guessed one possibility: "You can understand human speech?"
The tip of its tail brushed against my arm again.
"Meow meow meow?" I'm very well-behaved and obedient. You can pet me and hug me. Will you adopt me?
Huo Linyuan found it rather strange. Most pet cats can understand simple commands from their owners, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a smart cat.
Since he's all alone anyway, maybe getting a cat to keep him company wouldn't be a bad idea.
Thinking it over, he bent down and put the kitten on the ground.
As soon as the cat stepped onto solid ground, it meowed excitedly and began to survey its new territory.
Huo Linyuan glanced at her, took off his black suit jacket, loosened his tie, and rolled up his sleeves. He went straight to the bathroom, filled a bathtub with water, and then brought in the cat that was still wandering outside.
Yu Chaoxi, “?”
Then she felt herself being soaked in warm water.
"Meow!" Cat killing! Cat killing!!!
She couldn't help but splash around, kicking the water in the bathtub and splashing it all over Huo Linyuan's white shirt.
The soaked white shirt clung tightly to his chest, revealing the clearly defined pectoral and abdominal muscles beneath.
"Wow! Wet and sexy~" the system suddenly exclaimed.
"Shut up! Why am I suddenly afraid of water?! I'm going to die!" Yu Chaoxi had no interest in appreciating male beauty and kept struggling in the water.
"Oh dear! I forgot to tell you, when you use a skin, you'll be affected by its properties. For example, if a cat is afraid of water, you'll be afraid of water too."
Yu Chaoxi: "If the cat eats cat food, should I eat cat food too?"
"Congratulations, you got it right. Of course, if you don't eat cat food, you can eat dried fish instead."
Yu Chaoxi, "..."
Seeing her struggling so hard, Huo Linyuan frowned, patted her head, half to comfort and half to threaten, "Be good, it'll be over soon. If you don't behave, I'll let you continue to wander."
She had been running around outside and must have gotten some dust on her white fur. Since he had decided to keep her, Huo Linyuan naturally wanted to clean her up thoroughly.
Yu Chaoxi struggled much less, forced to endure Huo Linyuan's large hands rubbing and kneading her head and body, but she kept meowing pitifully, trying to gain his sympathy.
Huo Linyuan, with his heart of stone, insisted on giving her a bath. Yu Chaoxi felt uncomfortable, all wet and listless. She curled up in his palm, pretending to be dead.
Huo Linyuan chuckled and found a hairdryer to dry her hair.
Yu Chaoxi felt like she had come back to life, and affectionately rubbed her cheek against Huo Linyuan's neck.
After taking a bath, Yu Chaoxi was clean all over, her soft white fur smelled of shower gel, her paw pads were pink, and she let out a cute little cry.
"Meow." Human, you're a good person.
Huo Linyuan changed his clothes and called his assistant, Lin.
"Please buy me a few bags of cat food and a cat bed. Prepare two sets of everything you need for raising a cat, one set to be sent back to Lanyue Bay and the other to be sent to the hotel."
"Oh? Mr. Huo, are you going to get a cat? Should I do some research beforehand and see what breed I should get?"
"No need, we already have a cat."
Assistant Lin was completely bewildered. He had just returned to the company from the hotel and hadn't even had a chance to call a meeting to discuss the scandal involving Young Master Jincheng. In less than an hour, where did President Huo get a cat from?
However, he didn't ask any more questions. He put Huo Jincheng's matter aside for the time being and bought cat food and a cat bed for the boss.
Less than two hours later, Assistant Lin returned to the hotel carrying a bunch of things, followed by two people carrying an enormous luxury cat bed.
As soon as he opened the door, a small white cat walked past him with haughty steps. A white light flashed through Assistant Lin's mind. Wasn't this the white unidentified creature that had just rushed into the room?
Goodness, this cat has found a sugar daddy.
Look at this! A three-tiered luxury cat bed, imported special cat food—what cat gets this kind of treatment?
Assistant Lin had the cat's bed placed in the living room, and then poured the purchased cat food and litter into different bowls and placed them in their respective locations.
"Little kitty, do you know how to use the litter box?" Assistant Lin asked enthusiastically. "If not, I'll teach you!"
He demonstrated to Yu Chaoxi, digging in the litter box with two fingers until he made a hole, dropped in a piece of cat food, and then filled it with litter.
"Did you understand?"
In the end, he received a glare from Yu Chaoxi.
"Hey!"
Yu Chaoxi turned around and jumped into Huo Linyuan's arms, complaining with grievance.
"Meow~" He thinks I'm an idiot!
Huo Linyuan, who had been silent just now, now had a hint of a smile in his dark eyes, which were as deep as a still pool.
"Alright, it's smart enough, it doesn't need to be taught."
After Assistant Lin left, Huo Linyuan placed a small bowl full of cat food in front of Yu Chaoxi and rubbed her head, "Are you hungry?"
Yu Chaoxi turned her cat face away, refusing to eat this food.
"Meow!" She'd rather starve to death, die outside, than eat cat food! She wants to eat normal food!
"Not going to eat?" Huo Linyuan picked up a piece and placed it under her nose.
Yu Chaoxi gently sniffed with her pink nose... It smelled fragrant and looked delicious.
She stuck out her pink little tongue, snatched the cat food from Huo Linyuan's hand, and ran her barbed tongue across his fingertips.
A soft, tingling sensation came from her fingertips, and Huo Linyuan rubbed her chin.
"Assistant Lin also bought cat treats. Wait here quietly while I check the instructions on how to mix and match them."
Yu Chaoxi rubbed against him obediently.
When Huo Linyuan returned to the living room with some cat treats, he found the cat bowl empty and a cat lying lazily on the soft sofa, letting out a burp.
"Meow~" It wasn't me who ate it.
Yu Chaoxi was on the verge of tears. She clearly didn't want to eat it, but the cat food smelled so good and looked so tempting that she couldn't stop eating it once she started.
