When a cat suddenly moves to a new environment, it will first hide in a corner and will not eat easily. It will remain alert and will not come out to familiarize itself with the surroundings until late at night when no one is around.

Especially for cats with personalities like Lailai, this state will only last longer, so be mentally prepared.

However, when Sheng Yuan returned to Xuyang and opened the airline box, the cat in the box slowly walked out. It was malnourished and skinny. The smallest Elizabethan collar could hardly fit on the cat's head and it kept shaking.

With its hairless tail erect, it began to sniff around the suite, curious but also relaxed. This little figure seemed to be so familiar and calm as if it was inspecting its own territory.

——This is completely contrary to what the veterinarian said.

Sheng Yuan raised her eyebrows upon seeing this, and then just let it go. She checked the time and saw that she had just made it in time, so she sat cross-legged on the cashmere carpet in front of the sofa. As soon as she opened the APP with the green pattern, a video call from Zizi popped up.

But what Sheng Yuan didn't expect was that the cat jumped onto the sofa behind her at some point and stood at her shoulder, and suddenly came over when the call was connected.

A whole cat's head accidentally hit her phone. Sheng Yuan was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, she heard a faint cat's meow coming from the Elizabethan circle.

“…”

The pet hospital cleaned the secretions on the cat's face and found out it was a cat with heterochromia, one blue and one yellow. Although it looked as disheveled as a little beggar, it did not affect its beauty at all, like a priceless transparent gem.

Across the screen.

The man and the cat confronted each other in silence for a whole minute. Shi Yan once suspected that he had dialed the wrong number. Looking at the cat's head opposite with its nose constantly moving, the boy's cold brows wrinkled slightly, his dark eyes showed no emotion, and the next second he raised his hand and hung up the video.

Just as Sheng Yuan took the cat away, she heard a "dong" sound, indicating that the video call was hung up.

“…”

She called back immediately.

This time, just after the call was connected, before she had time to speak, the boy's low and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone. His handsome thin lips were slightly tightened, and his brows were not relaxed. He asked her: "Who is it?"

This is not a common sense question, for example -

Where did the cat come from?

Why do I suddenly want to have a cat?

…and other such questions.

Instead, just come up and ask her directly.

Although he asked, "Who is it?", he was actually asking, "Why did you bring a cat back home to raise after he left for only two days?"

The young man slightly tensed his handsome face, but used a tone that sounded like an accusation, and stared at her with his dark eyes, demanding that she explain herself.

…

Shi Yan already knew very well how meticulously Sheng Yuan took care of people. The girl with a soft voice was obsessed with the other person and put all her heart and energy into it.

Now, she has to start taking care of another cat.

Shi Yan listened quietly to the whole story of how she brought the cat back home. She was very patient and did not mind the trouble at all. She told him every word in detail and comprehensively.

But when he heard Sheng Yuan say that the pet doctor reminded him that the cat was not very friendly, he watched through the screen and saw that this cat, who was not friendly to people, was now curled up obediently on the sofa behind her, very close to her shoulder, and making purring sounds from time to time.

If the white collar around the cat's neck hadn't affected its performance, it would have even wanted to expose its belly and roll around on the spot.

A completely relaxed and coquettish attitude.

Shi Yan: “?”

alert?

Not approachable? ? Very hostile to people? ? ?

In this scene, it seems like she is talking to the cat, not him.

Shi Yan frowned, but at the same time he felt too awkward to say anything like "competing for favor" with a cat with a miserable life story.

I wanted to turn my head slightly to avoid looking at the cat, but then I couldn't see her anymore. It was so depressing. The boy's low and magnetic voice became noticeably muffled.

But the next second.

The girl on the other side of the video seemed to have sensed his subtle mood swings. She suddenly stood up with her phone in her hand and walked from the living room of the suite to the bedroom.

Shi Yan could see a picture flashing in the corner of the screen. When she stood up to leave, the cat immediately followed her like a follower, with its tail raised and meowing.

He followed her wherever she went and tried to follow her into the bedroom, but she simply closed the door, blocking the confused cat outside.

The cat was meowing outside, but she pretended not to hear it. She found a recliner in the bedroom, sat on the carpet, rested her face on her arms, and continued to talk to him with her sparkling almond eyes.

She said she was going home tomorrow and would pick him up at the airport when he got back. She also asked him if he would get used to the food in France...

In short.

All her topics revolved around him.

At the end of the video, she squinted her soft almond eyes and said, I'll wait for you to come back.

Shi Yan looked at her, his Adam's apple rolled, and he said, "Okay."

…

** The next day.

A notice was sent to all members of Sheng’s senior management and the president’s office intranet.

They have always worked tirelessly day and night. Chairman Sheng, who is a big shot in the business world, is taking a day off today.

Any work-related matters, no matter whether urgent or not, even if they are urgent, will all be put on hold and handed over to the President's Office temporarily. The entire President's Office was suddenly under tremendous pressure.

But there was no way, because the chairman’s business contact channels were completely closed at midnight.

Some people who are not very experienced expressed confusion about this "big fuss" move.

Only the experienced people around the chairman were used to it. They held piles of folders and said, "Oh, it's not surprising. The chairman went home to be with his daughter."

When the chairman's daughter is mentioned, no one in the entire group is not curious, because they have never seen the true face of this legendary eldest lady who is like a "chosen one of heaven's darlings".

But at the same time, he also knew that their eldest daughter was very well protected by her family, and only a few extremely trusted people had the honor of knowing what the eldest daughter looked like.

There were some vague rumors that were surprising enough, but other than that, there was no more information.

So, even if others were extremely curious, they did not have the courage to inquire.

…

Sheng Yuan came back very early.

After finishing the filming at Chengxi Film and Television City, I returned home around half past ten.

The car passed the big iron gate of the house and drove for another seven or eight minutes, passing the fountain and precious green plants skillfully trimmed by the gardener, and stopped in front of the entrance hall.
