Chapter 72 was first published on Jinjiang Literature City.



A colleague from Bai Liu's lab, to relieve stress, comes here after work to mix drinks and have some fun.

Bai Liu was invited to various places by that colleague, so while no one was competing with him for his younger brother's attention, he brought his brother along to broaden his horizons.

To my utter surprise, before I'd even seen much of the world, I'd already run into an acquaintance.

Not far away, Xie Chen and the girl in front of him, their posture, from his and Lili's angle, didn't look very innocent.

"Lili, you—"

Before Bai Liu could finish her words to coax her younger brother, she saw him run over to her in a few quick steps.

After hearing Bai Li address him as "sir," Xie Chen had already moved far away from the girl.

"gentlemen."

Bai Li nestled into Xie Chen's arms like a little cannonball, sat on his lap, and buried her head in the crook of his neck, looking so aggrieved that Xie Chen's heart tightened.

"Honey, I'm here."

Xie Chen, who was indifferent and heartless to those who tried to chat him up, now had no choice but to coax the pitiful child in his arms.

"Me? I wasn't talking to anyone."

He patted Bai Li's back reassuringly and said softly, "Really? When others tried to talk to me, I ignored them."

Bai Li sniffed, but still didn't look up.

"I saw it."

He accused, "You were standing so close!"

The cat has a good temper, but she's very possessive of her husband.

The bar was filled with all sorts of scents, and Bai Li could smell that Xie Chen's clothes smelled like perfume.

He felt a pang of sadness and unease in his heart.

Xie Chen patiently comforted and coaxed her. The girl who had been standing in front of Xie Chen changed her expression several times, and finally turned and left.

She's seen it all.

The rumors that Xie Chen is cold to everyone and indifferent to both men and women are all false!

He's cold to people, but he dotes on that boy so much it's enviable.

“Lili”.

Bai Liu walked over and saw his younger brother sitting on Xie Chen's lap with a face that clearly showed his displeasure. He interrupted the interaction between the two, originally intending to make a scene and give Xie a piece of his mind.

But when his gaze fell on Bai Lin, he reflexively called out, "Big Brother?"

With those eyes closed, how can you look at him? He looks like he's dead.

When Bai Lin was mentioned, Bai Li finally showed her face.

Xie Chen observed the child discreetly; the child's eyes were wet, and his eyelids were red. He'd probably have to coax him a lot tonight.

"He wasn't in a good mood, so I came with him to drink."

Xie Chen explained the matter simply and clearly: "Then, he got drunk."

Bai Liu glanced at his drunken older brother, realized what was happening, and curled his lip: "Serves him right."

He kindly reminded me last night!

But his elder brother not only ignored him, but also warned him not to get close to Yu Yin.

"I'll send someone to pick him up."

Bai Liucun had Yu Yin's phone number, and he immediately called Yu Yin.

"I don't have time for him, I have to go to the lab to work overtime."

"If you don't want to care about him either, then I'll just dump him at the bar?"

"By the way, this bar is pretty crowded. And it seems like someone's been staring at me, bro."

"I guess some kind people will take care of him? I think there are quite a few kind people around."

Bai Liu's few words made the person on the other end of the phone hang up immediately and rush over.

The problem is solved, brother.

Bai Liu's eyes darted around, and he began to plot something mischievous.

"Mr. Xie."

Bai Liu looked at Xie Chen, her tone gentle: "You seem quite popular here. It's all my fault for coming at the wrong time. Did we bother you?"

"If I had known, Lili and I should have come later."

Xie Chen: "?"

A dangerous glint flashed in Xie Chen's eyes. He raised his gaze and stared coldly at Bai Liu for a few seconds.

Bai Xiaoliu blinked innocently.

"I know, it's normal to hit on people in bars, and you're so attractive... it's normal."

Seeing that threats were ineffective, and that the child in her arms was turning pale from being incited by her sixth brother's words, she realized that threats were not working.

Xie Chen's heart tightened.

He immediately got up and moved away from Bai Jia Liu Ge, a level-ten scholar of language arts.

"I'm a little dizzy, so I'll take Lili home first. Please take good care of her, brother."

After Xie Chen finished speaking, he led his men away without pausing for even a second.

Bai Xiaoliu was dumbfounded.

"Come back!!!"

Xie Chen was stunned before he went back. He took Bai Li's hand and strode out without looking back.

Bai Li heard Sixth Brother's voice and wanted to turn around to look, but the teacher said he was dizzy...

Not long after.

Bai Li and Xie Chen got into the car. The driver was driving in front, and he felt that the atmosphere was a bit off today.

Xie Chen looked at the little girl who had been pressing her face against the window and looking out since she got on the bus, and sighed. "Lili."

He called out.

Bai Li didn't move, still stubbornly watching the night scene flash by outside.

Seeing this, Xie Chen had no choice but to coax him little by little: "I don't go to bars often, and I'm not as popular as your sixth brother said. Tonight was just an accident."

"You're lying to the cat!"

Bai Li stared at the glass, puffing out two words in a huff.

Xie Chen was amused by the "tricking the cat" comment and almost laughed.

He reached out and pulled the cat, who was facing the glass, towards him.

"I don't lie to cats."

Xie Chen said, "Apart from Lili, I won't get too close to anyone else."

Bai Li remained silent, and it was unclear whether she believed what she was saying.

Xie Chen showered the driver with compliments the entire way, making the driver in front tremble with fear.

The driver had no idea that this Lili was the kitten Lili.

However, he knew that these two girls named Lili were both very bold.

He'd never seen Xie Chen speak so politely before. Who was he trying to coax?

Until we arrived at the villa.

Xie Chen still couldn't completely appease the cat.

Bai Li couldn't feel happy just smelling his scent, let alone be able to coax him.

Fortunately, Xie Chen didn't like the smell on his body either, so he took a shower as soon as he got back.

After taking a shower.

Bai Li lay on him, sniffing everywhere. There was still a hint of alcohol, but all the messy perfume smells were gone.

Xie Chen drank quite a bit with Bai Lin.

He said he felt dizzy, and his head really did feel a little dizzy.

“Lili”.

On the bed, Xie Chen looked at the snow-white kitten sitting on the blanket and promised in a low voice, "I won't go to bars next time, and I won't let anyone get too close to me."

"Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Bai Li stepped on Xie Chen's handsome face with her left paw, her beautiful amber eyes reflecting Xie Chen's face.

"I'm still a little angry."

He meowed in a muffled voice, "I don't want anyone else to touch my Mr. Right."

The kitten that Xie Chen picked up back then wanted to run away and didn't want to be raised, but now it treats Xie Chen as its own possession.

No one is allowed to take it, not even touch it.

Xie Chen liked the kitten's dependence, and the domineering nature that evolved from that dependence.

So cute.

She was so cute that it filled his heart with joy.

"good."

He held the kitten in his arms, looking down at it: "From now on, no one will be able to touch you, sir."

"Being too close is also not allowed."

"Yes, I've got it."

Xie Chen agreed to each request, and before his consciousness sank deeper, he lowered his head and kissed the kitten's head.

Bai Li covered her head with her paws, staring blankly at the gentleman who had fallen asleep while talking.

"Meow?"

Haven't you calmed the cat down yet?

Xie Chen's breath still carried a hint of alcohol. Bai Li sniffed, then muttered something in the end before snuggling up to sleep next to him.

The next day.

When Xie Chen woke up, he was still feeling somewhat unwell.

He drank a glass of warm water, which barely suppressed the discomfort.

The cat on the bed was sleeping soundly with its paws in the air, carefree and showing no sign of the tantrum it had thrown the night before.

After washing up, Xie Chen saw that it was still early, so he lay back down and continued to watch the kitten sleep.

"Meow."

The little kitten, lost in its dreams, scrunched up its face and meowed sleepily, seemingly meowing for no apparent reason.

I waited for quite a while.

Bai Li finally woke up, and the first thing he said after waking up was "I want spicy strips."

Xie Chen was completely confused.

"What spicy strips?"

Bai Li's eyes were filled with confusion. He tilted his head and said blankly, "You said you were going to buy me spicy strips."

Xie Chen: "..."

Xie Chen frowned, completely forgetting about this incident.

He hid the two bags of spicy strips that Lili brought back from the grocery store last time.

The kitten's tongue is sensitive to spice and it can't eat spicy snacks at all, so how could he possibly agree to buy them?

Bai Li was still dazed: "Meow."

Where are the spicy strips you bought for me?

Xie Chen noticed something was wrong and tried to coax him, saying, "Sleep a little longer, and there will be spicy strips when you wake up."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li slumped back onto the bed and obediently closed her eyes.

After taking a nap, when I woke up again, sure enough, the kitten stopped meowing for spicy strips.

Xie Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

Given the incident at the bar the previous night, Xie Chen also went to great lengths to appease her the next day.

Especially the little kitten said before going to sleep yesterday, "I'm still a little bit angry."

Xie Chen wouldn't allow even the slightest bit of this.

"Lili, there's a birthday party tonight, do you want to go?"

In the upper echelons of City A, there are countless banquets, but Xie Chen rarely makes an appearance.

What interested him about this birthday party wasn't the host's high status, but rather that his daughter, Lili, would be celebrating her birthday soon.

Xie Chen celebrated his birthday simply, usually at home. His parents weren't around; his uncle would simply cook him a bowl of longevity noodles, add two eggs, and prepare a few extra dishes—that was his celebration.

He accepts gifts from strangers, but he doesn't really care about them.

Bai Li thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of birthday party is it?"

"It was a big event. There were many people there, giving gifts to the person celebrating their birthday."

On the surface, the birthday banquet is exactly what Xie Chen explained.

But in reality, the real purpose of most of these banquets in the circle is to socialize, solidify and expand connections.

"Then go ahead."

Bai Li glanced at Xie Chen, secretly harboring some thoughts she considered private.

The birthday party was huge.

There are a lot of people.

He's not just a cat anymore; he can also turn into a human!

If she becomes a person and accompanies her husband to his birthday party, then many people can see that her husband is hers.

Thinking of this, Bai Li nodded again and repeated, "I will go."

From now on, wherever the master goes, he will go too.

When Xie Chen heard that he was going, he reached out and picked him up, saying, "Then come back early this afternoon."

Bai Li nodded obediently.

Xie Chen carried the newly awakened kitten to the bathroom to wash up, while the kitten perched on his shoulder, still thinking about the birthday party.

for example?.

At the birthday party, she had to wear her best clothes and keep a close eye on her husband.

What bad intentions could a kitten possibly have?

Today's kitten just wants to show off its husband to others.
