The orange and white kitten was curled up in a gray towel, a tiny ball that looked extremely pitiful.
Not long ago, she told Minghuan that she would adopt a kitten if she could find one, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
However, whether or not Xia Wenxi can keep a cat is not a decision she can make alone, since she still lives at home.
She asked Lin Shen to wait a moment, intending to discuss it with her parents first. After making the call and learning that her parents were still in their room, she went out and knocked on the door of the room across the street.
"Xiao Bao, what is it that you want to discuss with us?"
Xia Hengyuan and Ke Shurong were drinking tea on the balcony when they received a phone call from their daughter saying she had something to discuss with them, so they immediately got up and came over.
"Mom and Dad, my friend found a kitten, but he can't keep it, so he asked if I wanted to keep it."
Xia Wenxi enlarged the photo of the kitten and showed it to the two of them.
"The kitten is so cute! Mom supports you in keeping it."
Ke Shurong raised her hand in agreement.
Xia Hengyuan also said, "It's such a small cat, you could keep ten or eight at home, no problem, go ahead and keep it."
The couple almost always granted their daughter's requests, so naturally they wouldn't refuse to let her have a cat.
"Okay! I'll talk to him now. Mom and Dad, you can continue with your tea. I won't bother you anymore."
Xia Wenxi waved and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
Xia Wenxi sent the message almost as soon as she left the room:
My parents have agreed to let me keep the kitten. When can I pick it up?
Xia Wenxi even thought that she could go back to the city early to pick up the kitten and let her parents stay here for a few more days to enjoy some time alone together.
Lin Shen: [Are you out having fun right now? No need to rush back. The kitten is too small. I plan to take it to the vet after get off work and leave it there temporarily. I'll pick it up in a few days.]
Lin Shen: [After all, the staff at the pet hospital should be more professional in taking care of it, don't you think? I'll have someone take good care of it, and I'll go see it after get off work, so don't worry.]
Xia Wenxi thought about it and felt that Lin Shen's words made sense. After all, the kitten might have been abandoned by its mother and had been caught in the rain. She didn't know how its health was, so it should indeed be taken to the hospital.
Okay, I'll be going back to the city on Sunday, can I pick him up on Sunday night?
Lin Shen: [Okay, no problem, don't worry. I'll go back and check on the kitten when I have time these next few days.]
Okay! Thank you, Mr. Lin [rose emoji]
Afterwards, Lin Shen sent Xia Wenxi many photos of kittens and videos of them drinking milk.
Xia Wenxi was absolutely charmed. Not content with just reading it herself, she saved it all and then casually shared it in the "Home with Kids" group chat.
Xia Xiaoxi (Cat Version): [From today onwards, I'm a cat owner too!]
Xia Hengyuan (father of two): [Adorable! Welcome the new member [rose]]
Ko Shu-jung (mother of two): [Welcome! [Applause]]
...
Xia Wensheng from Hengyuan Group: [Where did it come from? Found it at a farmhouse?]
Xia Wenxi used the same excuse: "My friend found it, but couldn't keep it and was going to give it to me."
She dared not let Xia Wensheng know that this person was Lin Shen, otherwise he would start nagging again.
Xia Wensheng was genuinely surprised that Lin Shen had picked up the cat, and quickly welcomed the new family member.
A-Hengyuan Group Xia Wensheng: [Welcome! Dengdeng has a younger brother!]

Fan City, Lin Group, 6 PM
At six o'clock, Lin Shen wrapped the cat in a towel and went out to go to the vet. He ran into his assistant as soon as he stepped out of the office.
"President, are you about to leave work?"
Lin Shen nodded. "It's already six o'clock, you can go home now."
Although Lin Shen sometimes works overtime himself, he never lets his employees work overtime with him.
"President, Yongguan has sent a letter of intent for cooperation, you..."
Assistant Liang assumed that his boss had forgotten about it, so he reminded him.
When he sent the letter of intent this morning, the president said he would get back to him before the end of the workday.
Lin Shen paused, "I didn't have time to look at it this afternoon. You can go home now, I'll give it to you tomorrow morning."
"Yes, President." After finishing his business, Assistant Liang turned his gaze to the kitten that was obediently sitting in their president's arms.
"President, have you found an adopter for it? If not, I have a friend who can adopt it. They have a stable income and are very nice people."
The driver saw the cat on the way back from a meeting at the branch office with the president. Their car almost hit the cat. He was thinking of taking the cat back to the company first and then dealing with it, but the president said to give the cat to him.
"No need, I've found a better adopter. The kitten will be fine with her."
Lin Shen lowered his head and gently stroked the kitten's head twice, and those two strokes stunned Assistant Liang.
What a gentle CEO! It's chilling!
After Assistant Liang left, Lin Shen returned to his office, put the letter of intent that he hadn't even glanced at before into his briefcase, and then came out again with the cat in his arms.
I spent the whole afternoon talking about cats...
Lin Shen specifically sought out the best pet hospital in the city. If he weren't so busy with work and frequently had to travel for business, he would have liked to keep the kitten himself. However, besides being fed, the kitten also needed companionship.
“What are you doing playing with cats! Xiao Shen, the future of the Lin family depends on you. You can’t let yourself be ruined by playing with cats like this! Your brothers are useless, so your father can only rely on you.”
“Your dad is right. What’s so great about keeping a cat? It’s so dirty. Be a good boy, Xiao Shen. We’re giving it away. Mom will find it a good home.”
Thinking about the past, Lin Shen's gaze turned cold. Only when he looked down at the kitten lying on his lap did his eyes gradually regain their warmth.
This time, the kitten will have a truly good owner, a good owner he personally found.
...
Lin Shen: [The kitten has had its check-up; it's a little malnourished, but otherwise healthy.]
Lin Shen: [But the hospital needs to create a file for the kitten and needs a name. Since you're the owner, it's more appropriate for you to choose one.]
When Xia Wenxi received Lin Shen's message, she was drinking fish soup. The fish her father had caught that morning had finally turned into a delicious fish soup that evening.
Xia Wenxi quickly replied: 【How about calling me Little Fish?】
Lin Shen: [Okay, that's a very cute name]
Lin Shen specially chose the most expensive boarding package at the hospital for Xiaoyuer, where the kitten could stay in a small private room and have someone to play with it.
I'll come see you again tomorrow.
As he was leaving, Lin Shen felt a pang of reluctance as he looked at the little fish that was meowing at him.
"I'll come see you again tomorrow. Have a good meal."
The nurse at the pet hospital smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, please rest assured, we will take good care of Xiaoyuer."
Stray kittens are happy to find adopters who are both financially capable and loving.
