Chapter 154 Reminiscing
The wooden door was pushed open, but Yu Qinghuan didn't see anyone. Instead, he caught a glimpse of a pair of furry ears poking out from the gap in the wooden door, and then a small orange-yellow head.
Big ears, round eyes, furry, cute and adorable.
Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment and tentatively waved to the little orange cat. Unexpectedly, the kitten actually came in from behind the wooden door, slowly approached, and finally stopped at Yu Qinghuan's feet. It rubbed its head against her and meowed.
Yu Qinghuan couldn't help herself, so she bent down, picked up the kitten, and sat back on the swing.
The kitten rubbed itself lazily in her arms, finding a comfortable position. When her head was touched, it closed its eyes comfortably.
When Sang Ru came back, he saw the kitten in his daughter's arms and was startled: "Girl, why is the cat next door here?"
Yu Qinghuan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It just pushed open the wooden door and ran in."
Although Cheng Gongjin is not a likable person, the cat he raised is so cute and adorable that it is really attractive.
A sly look flashed in her eyes. "Sang Ru, this cat ran here on its own. I think I picked it up, not stole it, right?"
Sang Ru was silent. "Miss, this is Elder Cheng's cat."
This cat is cute, but when you pick up a cat, you have to decide who owns it. So don’t risk yourself just for a cat, right?
Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan struggled for a moment, and finally put the cat on the ground, patting its head with her hand. "Go back, or I'll steal you away."
The kitten ran towards the wooden door, looking back every few steps, as if it was reluctant to leave.
Seeing that little body leave, Yu Qinghuan's heart softened.
Seeing Sang Ru about to lock the repaired wooden door, she immediately stopped him, "Wait!"
Sang Ru held a lock and stared blankly.
Yu Qinghuan coughed lightly, "Let's not lock the door yet since we haven't moved in yet."
Guessing the girl's intention, which was to slowly lure the cat over, Sang Ru immediately advised: "If the girl likes cats, just get one later."
At this moment, Yu Qinghuan's heart was captured by the cub. She liked this one because it was orange all over, had big ears, round eyes, and was furry. She didn't care about Lord Cheng.
"Just close the door and don't disturb the kittens. I'm sure he won't mind."
Sang Ru had no choice but to release the lock and leave the wooden door ajar.
She was afraid that one day, it would not be a cat but a human that would pass through this wooden door.
At this time, in the yard on the other side of the wooden door, Cheng Gongjin was half leaning on a rocking chair, his crimson clothes slightly wrinkled by the wind.
With his bony hands, he picked up the little orange cat that had come back from the door and held it in his arms. When he gently scratched the kitten's chin with his fingertips, a gurgling sound came out of its throat.
The little orange cat raised its chin and stared at its owner with innocent eyes, as if waiting for a reward.
Cheng Gongjin picked up a piece of dried meat from the food box on the table beside him, put it to his mouth, glanced at the half-open wooden door, and quickly retracted his gaze.
Looking at the greedy look of the kitten, he flicked its head lightly with his finger, and a low laugh escaped from his throat.
...
At sunset, a carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion. Qing Zhui got out and said, "Madam, the Second Master has ordered Chef Gao to prepare a table of delicious dishes and has asked his servants to invite you in for a chat."
Yu Qinghuan frowned slightly. She had only told Mu Huaian the location of the new house. How did Xie Zhili find out about it?
She subconsciously looked at Sang Ru, who shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she had never said it and didn't know.
In the carriage, Yu Qinghuan thought about what Xie Zhili had said a few days ago. Now he asked Qingzhu to pick her up. She felt confused and didn't know what new tricks Xie Zhili had come up with. He was so mysterious.
Soon, the carriage stopped at a hidden alley.
Sang Ru followed Yu Qinghuan in, but after taking a few steps, they were blocked outside the yard. Even Qing Zhui was guarding outside.
Yu Qinghuan felt uneasy and wanted to leave, but since everyone was already here, why not go in and take a look?
If anything goes wrong, there's still time to leave.
However, the moment she stepped into the courtyard, she was attracted by the scene before her. The courtyard was filled with various lanterns, hanging with colorful silk cloths, and petals falling from the air.
Xie Zhili quietly appeared from behind Yu Qinghuan, placed his warm palm on her waist, and embraced her in his arms. He held her earlobe with his thin lips and licked it gently, "Do you like it?"
Yu Qinghuan's ears felt hot, and she nodded, "Not bad."
Xie Zhili then let go, held her shoulders and turned her around.
The courtyard was filled with lanterns, and with the warm yellow light, Yu Qinghuan could clearly see the person in front of him. He was wearing a white robe today, which made his already handsome features look even more handsome.
But... Mu Huaian seems to have this robe too?
Xie Zhili lowered his eyes to observe her reaction, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Did you recognize her?"
Yu Qinghuan silently took half a step back.
Xie Zhili, however, moved closer to her, his voice teasing and somewhat proud: "I specially sent someone to steal it from the Mu family farm."
Yu Qinghuan's forehead twitched. She could never have imagined that Xie Zhili could do such a thing as stealing clothes, and he stole them from Mu Huaian, and even wore them openly.
"What are you doing wearing his clothes?"
Under Yu Qinghuan's puzzled gaze, Xie Zhili pushed her against the pillar in the courtyard, lowered his head and chuckled, "Of course it's to please you."
"Don't you like him? How about treating me as him tonight?"
Yu Qinghuan was dumbfounded. She finally understood the new tricks Xie Zhili had mentioned two days ago. Her face turned red: How could this guy be so shameless!
