Chapter 42 was first published on Jinjiang Literature City.



Xie Chen's two Weibo posts, at first glance, did not name anyone, but two trending topics on the hot search list also happened to contain the keyword "cat".

Those fans should take a look at the users who received lawyer's letters, then look at the marketing accounts trending on social media, and the most active individual accounts.

"The cat my brother was talking about, could it be the one Tan Yi has?!"

"I checked, and all the users on my brother's lawyer's letter have been cursing that cat."

"Holy crap, do you guys remember the calligraphy my brother posted last time? There were cat paw prints on the characters."

These days, fans' radar is still very sensitive and accurate.

Xie Chen's two Weibo posts are quite easy to interpret after this analysis.

The marketing accounts and online trolls who joined the fray never expected that Xie Chen would be dragged into this mess.

The marketing accounts and keyboard warriors who were arrogantly smearing Tan Yi and that kitten were all stunned after seeing Xie Chen's actions.

"Is it over? Is it over? This is a fucking landmine!"

"Who placed this order?! Damn it, I just got a lawyer's letter?!"

"Quickly, think of a way to delete them, delete all those posts!"

"Is there any way to speak to Xie Chen and ask him to withdraw the lawsuit? We are willing to apologize in return!"

"It's no use... Is Xie Chen really angry? Have we kicked a hornet's nest this time?"

The people who spread misinformation and brainwashing rumors, along with the marketing and online troll companies behind them, all panicked and quickly deleted their posts and edited their apologies.

Xie Chen no longer pays attention to this matter, and will not stop because of an apology afterwards.

He's never been a good person. If you offend him, you should bear the consequences.

Xie Chen, who didn't consider himself a good person, pushed open the hotel room door, yet was willing to be seen as a good person by an innocent and clingy little kitten.

"Meow!"

The gentleman is back.

Bai Li offered her soft, chubby little belly for her third brother to rub for a while, finally managing to cheer him up a little.

Upon seeing Xie Chen enter, Bai Li stood up from Tan Yi's lap, wanting Xie Chen to hug her.

He had only just recovered from last night's events and realized that it was the doctor who had saved him again.

Tan Yi didn't stop her younger brother from opening his claws at Xie Chen.

From initially rejecting Xie Chen to now seeing Xie Chen's protection of his younger brother, he understands that Xie Chen genuinely cares for his brother.

Xie Chen held the kitten in his lap and listened to its meows.

Upon learning that all the money he had brought with him was missing, Xie Chen said slowly, "Don't worry, we'll find it."

He has a complete record of the kitten's every move.

Daniel's wearable cat-themed phone boasts top-notch features in every aspect.

It's even more comprehensive and sophisticated than the phone he uses.

The morning passed by without me even noticing.

In the afternoon, Tan Yi was going to the film set.

Due to the sudden scandal, Tan Yi was forced to cancel most of his work schedules, leaving only the film crew, where the director was still urging him to go to film.

What happened on set that day was clearly seen by the director and everyone else present.

However, the director's clarification Weibo post was so misled by the previous wave of marketing accounts that nobody believed him at all.

"gentlemen."

Knowing that her third brother was going to the film set, Bai Li looked up at Xie Chen with pleading eyes and said, "Let's go watch Third Brother film too, just for a little while."

He felt uneasy about his third brother being beaten on set, and he wanted to go and check on him.

Xie Chen understood the kitten's feelings all too well. He lowered his eyes and hummed in response.

Upon receiving permission, Bai Li was overjoyed.

His chubby body stood up from Xie Chen's arm, his front paws braced against Xie Chen's collar, and in front of his third brother, he gave Xie Chen a thank-you peck.

Tan Yi: "???"

Tan Yi's face turned green.

“Lili”.

He subtly lectured his younger brother, who was prone to incestuous relationships: "Can't you kiss cats? You can't just kiss people casually."

Especially his younger brother, who might even turn into a human!

Bai Li's beautiful amber eyes were filled with confusion. He looked at his third brother and retorted, "Meow, meow meow."

Dad said, "Yes, you can kiss your favorite person."

The gentleman was the person he loved most, besides his family.

He wanted to teach his younger brother a lesson, but with outsiders present and the timing not right, he had no choice but to hold back for the time being.

When Xie Chen heard the little kitten say that he was the person he liked the most, the corners of his lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

"Brother Tan."

The agent checked the time and urged, "We should head to the film set now."

Although Tan Yi is only making a cameo appearance, she still has several scenes to film.

"I understand. Let's go."

Tan Yi led the way, while Xie Chen carried the kitten's snack bag in one hand and steadily supported the kitten in the other.

The agent wasn't idle either; he brought some water and loose cat litter for the kittens.

The hotel wasn't too far from the film set. They took Xie Chen's car, which was parked at the entrance, and arrived at their destination about ten minutes later.

"Here you are."

When the director saw Tan Yi, he casually greeted him, his attitude unaffected.

"Film the scene well later. All the extras have been checked this time, so there shouldn't be any more problems."

"good."

Tan Yi was still very polite and respectful to the director. After listening to the director's instructions, she smiled and responded with a "yes".

The director patted him on the shoulder, intending to chat with him about the script, but then he caught sight of someone else out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh, Xie Chen?"

The director was slightly surprised. He was nearly fifty years old and had dealt with Xie Chen years ago. He had never actually seen Xie Chen visit anyone on set before.

"Director Lian."

Xie Chen greeted him and then exchanged a few casual words.

"I won't entertain you then." Director Lian was a very serious person when it came to filming. He pointed to the empty chairs on set: "Find a seat yourself, I have to go."

"Um."

Xie Chenlai made no attempt to hide his presence. He chose an empty spot, placed the cat litter box there, put the kitten's treat bag on the table, and then sat down.

Bai Li lay on Xie Chen's lap, staring intently at Tan Yi not far away.

Xie Chen gently soothed the wary kitten by stroking his slightly tense back: "Lili, don't be so nervous. No one will make things difficult for Tan Yi today."

Bai Li remained silent.

He probably wouldn't feel at ease unless he personally watched his third brother finish filming.

Just as Xie Chen had predicted, the next few scenes he filmed were without any trouble.

Everyone looked at Xie Chen sitting in the chair, and then at the way he kept glancing at Tan Yi...

What else don't they understand?

Xie Chen and Tan Yi are probably not simple people!

It is known that Xie Chen announced on Weibo that the kitten he was holding was his.

It is also known that the day before, Tan Yi brought over this little kitten, saying it was hers.

Given two things, we can derive a conclusion.

This kitten was clearly raised by Xie Chen and Tan Yi together!

Under what circumstances would two people raise the same cat? Isn't that an unspeakable situation?

Not only people on set speculated this, but fans on Weibo, after helping their idol refute the rumor-mongering marketing accounts, also belatedly realized what was going on.

In the #XieChen# super topic, even the usually active big fans have become unusually low-key.

The various clips about the older brother that used to dominate the screens have now been replaced by a different topic.

"Hmm, is our cabinet open?"

"Sisters, I have a bold guess..."

"My brother has been in the industry for ten years. Is this the first time he's had a romantic pairing?"

Fans are not opposed to Xie Chen being in a relationship. Xie Chen is not an idol. Although he is good-looking, he does not make a living based on his looks.

He is talented, and his position in the music industry is unshakeable.

He also has power and influence. The Xie family, as an old and established family, is an absolute true wealthy family.

Although they called Xie Chen "brother," they also knew that outside, he was known as President Xie.

Outsiders speculated wildly about the relationship between Xie Chen and Tan Yi, while Xie Chen himself remained completely unaware.

If he knew, he probably would have broken up the couple on the spot with his bare hands.

He has nothing to do with Tan Yi; he only has something to do with the little kitten in his arms.

"Meow meow".

Sir, I need to leave for a moment.

Bai Li lay on Xie Chen's lap for a while, then poked him with her paw and reported to him.

Xie Chen frowned: "Where are we going?"

Bai Li shook her head shyly: "I...I need to use the cat litter."

He was shy and never allowed Xie Chen to watch him use the cat litter. He would only allow Xie Chen to throw it away after he had cleaned it up and there was no smell.

Xie Chen knew his habit, so he didn't stop him or follow him. He just watched him go to find the litter box.

The litter box was placed in a somewhat hidden location.

When Bai Li returned after using the cat litter box, she saw a familiar-looking cat.

"Liu Yi, are you looking at Brother Xie?"

In a corner of the set, the second male lead, Liu Yi, was standing still with a bottle of water in his hand, while the female lead smiled and exchanged a few words with him.

Liu Yi turned his head to look at the female lead, whose face bore a resemblance to Tan Yi, and a gentle expression appeared on her face.

"Isn't everyone in our group watching Brother Xie? I'm a fan of Brother Xie, so of course I have to take this opportunity to get a better look at him too."

The female lead smiled and said, "Since you're a fan, you can go up and ask for an autograph."

Liu Yi shook her head, looking understanding: "Let's forget about this. I don't really want to bother Brother Xie."

Upon hearing this, the female lead, unsure whether she believed the reason, gave an ambiguous chuckle and said softly, "You're quite the fan."

Liu Yi shook the water in his hand and said goodbye, "I've finished filming my scenes for today. I'll go back and check the script first. Goodbye."

After Liu Yi left, the beautiful female protagonist picked up her phone and made a call to her best friend.

"This Liu Yi is too shrewd and cautious. I haven't found any fault with him yet."

"Regarding the matter of our conversation, I wonder if it has anything to do with him..."

The female lead's best friend's surname is Zhou, and her father is the highly respected Mr. Zhou.

She likes Tan Yi and has been pursuing him relentlessly, but Tan Yi is not easy to win over, and she has not been able to catch up with him yet.

Bai Li, who had accidentally witnessed the whole gossip, tilted her head, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.

Liu Yi remembered this clearly; he had staged an accident with the gentleman at the banquet.

Now you're saying you don't want to bother Mr. [the gentleman]? That's a lie.

Bai Li has a terrible memory, but for some reason, he has a vivid memory of Xie Chen, the person who staged the accident.

The beautiful female lead is here? Just now, Liu Yi... no one noticed that behind her was this tiny kitten, no bigger than a palm.

Bai Li waited until they had all left before returning to Xie Chen's side.

He instinctively extended his claws, and the next second, Xie Chen took out a wet wipe from his bag and carefully wiped him clean.

Once the pink paw pads and claws were all cleaned, Xie Chen placed the kitten on his lap and casually fed it some treats.

The manager standing next to Xie Chen looked on with envy.

Humans are inferior to cats.

He also wanted to be Xie Chen's cat.

No, he now felt that this little kitten was no ordinary cat at all. The kitten that Xie Chen was personally taking care of was clearly a little darling that Xie Chen was pampering.

The little darling opened his mouth, enjoying being fed.

Not only did he eat it himself, but he also had the audacity to make Xie Chen eat it too.

The agent was horrified to see the kitten using its paws to hook the dried fish and bring it to Xie Chen's mouth.

Holy crap.

Even someone who isn't familiar with Xie Chen knows that Xie Chen has mysophobia.

Is this ancestor tired of living? Want to be buried and become a real ancestor?!

Just as the agent was anxiously trying to call Tan Yi back to rescue the cat, an even more horrifying scene unfolded.

Xie Chen, who was a germaphobe, only glanced at the dried fish offered by the kitten, and then ate it without blinking.

broker:"???"

That's outrageous!

He stared wide-eyed at Xie Chen, who was eating dried fish, as if watching a horror movie, almost wondering if he should see an ophthalmologist or a psychiatrist.

In short, he felt that he had either been blind or was hallucinating due to mental derangement.

"It doesn't taste as good as Uncle Xie's."

After finishing the dried fish, Xie Chen even gave a review.

Bai Li agreed with Miao Miao: "Yes, Uncle Xie's fried fish is delicious!"

Xie Chen patted his head and casually said, "The dried fish I fried was pretty good too. I'll fry some more for you when we get back."

"Um!"

Bai Li nodded heavily, full of anticipation for Xie Chen's fried dried fish.

It's not unusual for two people to share food.

At the very beginning, when Bai Li fed Xie Chen dried fish, he refused.

He not only refused dried fish, but also refused to put a cat bed by his bedside and refused to let kittens into his bedroom.

But now, Xie Chen only understands one thing: he'd better not make any promises when it comes to the little kitten.

Otherwise, they will all be proven wrong.

After staying on set until evening, Tan Yi finished filming her scenes, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and strode towards Xie Chen.

The others looked at each other, all wearing knowing expressions.

"See, see, Tan Yi is in such a hurry, she must want to find Xie Chen as soon as possible."

"See? See? Xie Chen has stood up! He's also waiting to talk."

Wow, it's a two-way journey!

To outsiders, the two, who seemed to be "going to each other's destination," didn't even exchange a glance.

As they approached, the following conversation ensued.

"Lili, are you bored while waiting? Let me hug you."

"Meow meow".

Not boring at all, Brother San looks great when he's filming!

"My Lili, you're so good at talking. Come on, your third brother will buy you something delicious."

Bai Li, who had been eating all afternoon, burped.

Are you holding on?

Tan Yi: "..."

Tan Yi looked up and glanced at Xie Chen, who was feeding his younger brother until he was stuffed, and felt speechless.

There was absolutely no communication between the two of them. When night fell, Bai Li didn't go to keep Xie Chen company while he slept, but instead stayed here talking.

He was going back to City A with Xie Chen the next day. This was his last night with his third brother, so Xie Chen didn't insist on taking him away.

"Lili."

On the large bed, Tan Yi had transformed back into a cat. The two cats slept side by side, and Tan Yi looked a little dejected: "Don't you think Third Brother is pretty bad?"

Among his siblings, he was always the weakest. He could never beat his brothers and sisters in a fight, and it was difficult for him to even try to take Lili away from them.

Bai Li nuzzled her third brother comfortingly and meowed, "Third brother isn't bad."

"Third Brother is great. He's good-looking and hardworking. Third Brother is a really good cat."

He was still feeling down.

"I'm not good at anything. When I first came down from the mountain, I realized that I was too incompetent. Apart from being good-looking, I didn't have any skills to show for myself, so I entered the entertainment industry."

After entering the entertainment industry, he originally intended to be a mere pretty face, but unexpectedly, he also learned some acting skills and managed to get by fairly well in the industry.

Seeing that her third brother was in a dejected state and she couldn't coax him, Bai Li started to get anxious.

"Third Brother."

He raised his paw and laboriously touched his third brother's head, imitating Xie Chen's comforting gesture to reassure him: "Good boy, I love you so much, don't be discouraged."

With his younger brother's various attempts to comfort him, Tan Yi finally regained his composure.

The next day.

Bai Li watched as Tan Yi finished filming her morning scenes, and then, reluctantly, Xie Chen carried her into the car, setting off on the route back to City A.

On their way back, they didn't take a car.

This time, Bai Li boarded a plane—a private jet that allowed her to bring her cat along.
