Upon hearing the words "drunk milk," both President Lin and President Zhu wore subtle expressions.
Although they had never owned a cat, they had never heard of cats getting drunk on milk.
But look closely at the kitten in Xie Chen's arms; it actually fell asleep within two minutes.
In her sleep, Bai Li held Xie Chen's hand with her paws and snored comfortably.
"Let's talk about something serious."
Xie Chen said calmly, diverting the two people's attention away from Bai Li.
In business dealings, people may speak kindly and with smiles, but how much of that smile is genuine is hard to say.
We chatted until five or six o'clock before we knew it.
Mr. Lin, who loves to have fun, invited Xie Chen, "Mr. Xie, would you do me the honor of staying for a meal?"
The clubhouse naturally offers catering services.
Xie Chen glanced down at the kitten wrapped in the blanket, guessing it would sleep a little longer, and nodded: "Of course we must give President Lin face."
Mr. Lin's full name is Lin Chao. He is a well-known second-generation rich kid with a very good family background.
He may have his fun-loving moments, but he always kept a clear line. He never did anything illegal or criminal, but while he didn't commit any illegal or criminal acts, he was still constantly involved in romantic escapades.
During the meal, Lin Chao called over several pretty girls from the club.
"Call someone."
Lin Chao recognized them and introduced them with a smile: "This is President Zhu, this is President Xie. By the way, is your girl group also in President Xie's company?"
Xie Chen glanced at him and corrected him, "It's my cousin's company, it has nothing to do with me."
The girls' eyes were all fixed on Xie Chen's face, but they didn't dare to approach. They greeted Xie Chen one by one in a cute way, calling him "Brother Xie".
Xie Chen only hummed in response, his attitude visibly distant.
These girls were quite a coincidence; they were the same girls Xie Chen had run into in the elevator when he went to the company not long ago.
Xie Chen still remembered the scent of their perfume, which made Lili sneeze.
Several girls sat down, with two sitting on either side of Lin Chao, and one sitting next to President Zhu.
They sat next to Xie Chen, but didn't dare get too close.
"Mr. Lin, would you like to have a drink?"
The girl to Lin Chao's left is the captain of their girl group, named Diao Ling.
Diao Ling solicitously filled Lin Chao's glass, and then poured a glass for General Manager Zhu.
When it was Xie Chen's turn, Diao Ling hesitated for a moment before tentatively reaching out to pour him a drink.
But just as she leaned slightly forward, Bai Li shifted her body and sneezed again at Xie Chen.
Xie Chen frowned.
"No need to pour it for me."
Diao Ling paused in her actions, pursed her lips, and sat back down.
"Mr. Xie is still so clueless about romance," Lin Chao joked.
The girls he called over were all pretty and had good figures, but Xie Chen didn't give them a second glance from the moment they entered.
While observing whether the kitten, whose eyes were still closed, was about to wake up, Xie Chen replied to Lin Chao, "For someone who understands romance, Mr. Lin is enough."
Lin Chao turned his head and pinched Diao Ling's fair, oval face, teasingly saying, "See? It's not that I won't help you, but with President Xie, you have to try to catch his eye."
Diao Ling has been getting close to Lin Chao lately; Lin Chao was introduced to her by Liu Yi.
She had been hoping Lin Chao would give her something in return, but today Lin Chao had arranged for her to sit at the same table as Xie Chen, and Xie Chen, just like last time, ignored her.
Diao Ling wanted to get close to Xie Chen...
Is it too difficult?
“Brother Xie has a wide range of experience and has met many people. Someone like me is naturally beneath his notice.”
Diao Ling deliberately feigned weakness, her expression pitiful as she spoke.
But Xie Chen didn't even glance at her pitiful appearance.
"Meow."
Wrapped in a blanket, Bai Li stared at Xie Chen with her eyes half-open, making soft, whimpering noises, as if she were having a fit of delirium.
Xie Chen patted his head and asked in a low voice, "Awake? Are you dizzy?"
Bai Li sat up groggily and shook her head.
I feel a little dizzy.
Xie Chen took him out of the blanket, let him sit on his lap, and said to him, "Next time, don't drink goat milk, drink something else instead."
Bai Li refused.
He had just woken up, his eyes were still wet, and when he looked at Xie Chen, he unconsciously revealed a sense of grievance.
"I want to drink."
Goat milk tastes good.
Xie Chen raised an eyebrow. If the goat milk were replaced with wine, this little kitten would still be a drunken little cat who loves to drink.
Xie Chen planned to discuss the question of whether or not to continue drinking goat milk with him when he got home.
The little one has woken up at the dinner table, so naturally it's time to feed him.
"Thank you, Brother Xie."
Diao Ling, who used to own a cat, saw Xie Chen take a bowl and serve food to Bai Li. She said, "Pet cats can't eat food with strong smells; they can't digest it."
Xie Chen didn't even look. He said, "My cat can eat like that."
This little kitten of his is no ordinary cat. Xie Chen carefully selected all the dishes; the bones in the meat were removed, the fish was peeled without bones, and the shrimp were neatly shelled.
Bai Li mixed all the vegetables into the rice, and even had Xie Chen pour sauce over it.
He sat on his lap, buried his head in the rice bowl, and worked hard to eat.
Lin Chao and General Manager Zhu watched the kitten eat. They usually only drank alcohol with their meals, but as they watched...
They couldn't resist and ordered some food too, imitating how kittens eat, and ate quite a few hearty dishes.
The meal is over.
Diao Ling still failed to get Xie Chen to look at her more. Seeing this, Lin Chao understood what Xie Chen meant.
"never mind?."
He patted Diao Ling's hand and softened his voice: "I've invested in two dramas. I'll arrange for you to make an appearance in them another day."
Diao Ling clenched her fists on the table in frustration. Why, why did Xie Chen not like her?
Is her face really that bad? Or does Xie Chen, who never gets close to either men or women, actually have some kind of physiological problem?
Just as Diao Ling was speculating in her mind, Lin Chao spoke again.
"Mr. Xie, I remember your brand's spokesperson this season is Tan Yi?"
"Um."
"Meow."
Upon hearing her third brother's name, Bai Li raised her head and subconsciously looked at Lin Chao.
Lin Chao held his wine glass and sipped slowly: "If you haven't signed a new endorsement contract for the season, I suggest you give up on him and choose a new spokesperson."
Xie Chen's gaze darkened, and he asked directly, "What news have you received?"
"Someone is going to release dirt on him."
Lin Chao held a glass of wine in one hand and rested his chin on the other: "Whether the rumors are true or false is hard to say, but as long as they are released and manipulated, his reputation will be affected, and his commercial value will naturally be greatly reduced."
"It wouldn't be worth it if you invited him again for the new season, would it?"
As Lin Chao spoke, he sighed with regret: "To be honest, Tan Yi is really good-looking. I even offered him a job, but unfortunately, he didn't want to be with me."
As soon as those last words were spoken, Xie Chen knew things were going to get bad without even looking at the kitten on his lap.
really.
Bai Li stared wide-eyed in shock, forgetting about her food, and just stared at Lin Chao.
This person, this person actually wanted to sleep with his third brother!
Lin Chao didn't know why the kitten was suddenly meowing at him. He raised an eyebrow and asked Xie Chen, "President Xie, does your cat want to get closer to me?" A complex emotion flashed across Xie Chen's eyes.
Closeness?
The little kitten is throwing a tantrum at the person surnamed Lin.
"good."
Xie Chen pinched Bai Li's hand to let him continue eating, while he replied to Lin Chao's words.
"Our company will not withdraw Tan Yi's endorsement."
"If anyone tries to smear our brand and cause us losses during the endorsement period, then Xie's public relations department and legal team are not just for show."
On the surface, these words seemed to be protecting the Xie family's interests, but Lin Chao, a seasoned veteran, could understand the implied meaning—
Xie Chen was trying to protect his intention to talk.
"Mr. Lin, you and Tan Yi, isn't that..."
"I admire Tan Yi very much," Xie Chen said calmly. "Tan Yi is a very outstanding artist. Apart from that, I have no improper relationship with him."
These serious words made President Lin's lips twitch.
Xie Chen, however, remained calm. Even in front of the little kitten, he knew what he should and shouldn't say.
"Meow, meow meow."
Sir, you are so kind!
Hearing Xie Chen defend his third brother so much and even praise him, Bai Li was deeply moved.
He didn't even bother to eat, and meowed at Xie Chen to lower his head.
As Xie Chen leaned closer, Bai Li tiptoed and gave Xie Chen's handsome face a few pecks.
This is a thank you kiss.
Xie Chen really likes the kitten's kisses, but this time, the kitten, who was halfway through eating, hadn't even wiped its face clean yet.
Xie Chen calmly took out a tissue and wiped the kitten's face, as well as his own.
Now that you mention it, I also think Tan Yi is a good artist.
People in business are best at changing their tune depending on the wind. Lin Chao followed Xie Chen's words and praised Tan Yi a few times.
Bai Li patted Xie Chen's hand and meowed seriously.
"Sir, tell this man not to sleep with my third brother."
"good."
Xie Chen dutifully acted as a messenger, nodding to Lin Chao: "President Lin, forced relationships are never sweet. I think it's better if you get rid of your feelings for Tan Yi sooner rather than later."
Lin Chao understood.
"Don't worry, I never put all my eggs in one basket."
After Xie Chen's words today, how could he possibly still be interested in talking?
After Xie Chen finished delivering the message, Bai Li finally resumed eating, satisfied.
only.
Before leaving, Lin Chao said a few more words to Xie Chen: "Tan Yi... he is indeed not peaceful on his side. If you really want to protect him, you still have to put in some effort, otherwise, he will still suffer." Bai Li did not hear what the two were saying.
Xie Chen didn't respond much to these words, and Lin Chao was a little unsure of his attitude.
soon.
Bai Li was taken back to the villa by Xie Chen. He spent the whole day with Xie Chen, and now he was starting to want to find his third brother.
The rain outside has stopped, but the road is still a bit damp and the wind is strong.
Bai Li stood at the doorway and felt the force of the gust of wind blowing against the cat.
"Meow."
Bai Li murmured, "Luckily, I'm quite heavy."
Therefore, the wind cannot take him away!
“Lili”.
Xie Chen, now dressed in casual clothes, walked up behind him and asked, "What are you doing sitting by the door?"
"I'm looking for my third brother."
Bai Li turned around and said to Xie Chen, "I want to see, Third Brother."
It's windy outside.
Xie Chen squatted down in front of him: "He will come to see you once the conversation is over."
Bai Li lowered her head and said listlessly, "I miss Third Brother."
Xie Chen: "..."
Upon hearing the word "want," Xie Chen suddenly felt a subtle unease creep into his heart.
That feeling was fleeting, and he didn't try to capture it.
"If you want to see what they're willing to talk about, there are other ways."
Bai Li asked blankly, "What method?"
Xie Chen led him to sit on the sofa, and after a moment, made a video call to Tan Yi, whom he had just added on WeChat.
Bai Li, who didn't have a cell phone, found it incredibly strange to see the conversation on the other end of the video call.
"Third Brother!"
"Hey, Third Brother's here."
Tan Yi, dressed in her hospital gown, leaned against the headboard, smiling as she looked at her precious little brother.
His younger brother is really handsome.
Although it was only the size of a palm, its fluffy little body, round cat face, and pink paw pads made it, in his eyes, the most beautiful cat in the world.
"Lili, what did you and that guy surnamed Xie do today?" Tan Yi asked Bai Li in meow language because Xie Chen wasn't in the video.
Bai Li tilted her head and reported on the itinerary.
"Sleep, watch TV, eat, sleep, eat, go home."
Tan Yi was taken aback.
"You only did this today?"
"Um!"
Bai Li reported in order, telling her third brother about all the meals she had eaten.
The two brothers chatted on the video for a while. Finally, Tan Yi asked Bai Li, "When Third Brother recovers in a few days, he'll be going to record shows and take photos again. He'll take you with him then. Do you want to come?"
Bai Li didn't want to go; he wanted to work hard.
Considering that her third brother was currently being coveted by many people, Bai Li still seriously meowed and said, "I want to go."
Keep a close eye on Third Brother!
Tan Yi also wanted to bring his younger brother along. His purpose was quite simple: he wanted his brother to see how cool and handsome he looked at work, hoping to improve his standing in his beloved brother's eyes.
Especially now that the eldest brother, second sister, fourth brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother are all gone.
With no one competing with him for Lili, he can seize the opportunity to establish the image of Third Brother as incredibly awesome and amazing in front of Lili!
They chatted for another twenty minutes before Tan Yi was interrupted by his agent, ending the conversation.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Li looked at her phone and asked Xie Chen, "Sir, now that we have this, does that mean I can watch Third Brother whenever I want?"
Xie Chen frowned slightly when he heard him only mention his third brother.
"When I get paid, I want to buy one too." Bai Li stretched out her paw and touched the phone: "I want to video chat with Third Brother, and I also want to video chat with Mr.."
"If you can't see your husband, you can call him!"
"good."
Xie Chen, who had been frowning, instantly relaxed upon hearing this.
He ruffled the kitten's head: "I'll buy you one."
Is it expensive? How much does it cost?
Xie Chen thought about Bai Li's meager salary; if he were to give it away for free, the little guy definitely wouldn't accept it.
"Ten yuan."
He made up a story off the top of his head: "Someone I know is dealing with unwanted cell phones."
"It's very cheap, I can buy one for you for ten yuan."
Upon hearing the price, Bai Li showed no disdain that the phone was someone else's unwanted item.
"Thank you, sir! I'll give you the money."
Xie Chen didn't refuse, and they finalized the matter of the phone. The two of them, along with the cat, went back to the bedroom.
"Lili, play by yourself in the bedroom for a while, I'm going to the gym."
The gym was on the third floor of the villa, and Xie Chen planned to work out there for two hours.
"Meow, meow meow."
I want to go too.
Bai Li clung to Xie Chen, wanting to go to the gym with him to take a look.
"Let's go."
Faced with the curious kitten, Xie Chen let him explore the villa.
Not long after.
In the gym on the third floor, Xie Zhongchen had changed into a loose-fitting set of workout clothes.
He was tall and had a great physique. When he worked out, the little kitten sitting on the ground would stare at his well-defined abs without even blinking.
"It's so beautiful."
Bai Li cupped the little round face in her hands, filled with envy.
He also wanted to transform into human form.
If he could transform, he would want to be like his teacher—tall, with a very handsome face, and well-defined abs…
After Bai Li finished her daydream, she looked down at her chubby body and sighed sadly.
Let's abandon our fantasies and return to reality. A cat like him, even if he were to become a human, would most likely still be a chubby little guy.
well.
The cat still has a lot of troubles today.
After exercising for two whole hours, Xie Chen wiped his sweat with a towel but didn't hug Bai Li.
"Lili, I'm sweaty, don't get too close to me."
Even someone as fastidious as Xie Chen didn't want Bai Li to touch him when he was sweating.
Not wanting to walk, Bai Li opened her paws and stubbornly meowed, pleading, "I want to be carried."
