Chapter 46 Pets? Friends
"ah!!"
Lu Qian's sharp wail pierced Cheng Yi's eardrums.
He was like a hurricane, leaving behind the crowd following him and flying towards Linqian Pavilion at an extremely fast speed.
The speed was so fast, like a wolf in hunting mode, lightning fast and dazzling.
The servants behind him had no time to react before Cheng Yi disappeared from their sight. It seemed that no one could catch sight of this man who was as fast as a ghost.
"Lu Qian!"
Cheng Yi pushed open the door of Linqian Pavilion with all his strength and shouted Lu Qian's name loudly.
His voice was anxious and urgent.
The waiters never imagined that the usually cold and reserved boss would be so excited.
Under the dim light, Lu Qian lay among the dead trees and leaves, trembling and tilting his head slightly, looking at Cheng Yi at the door.
Those gem-like eyes were filled with fear and dullness. Her lips trembled slightly and she shrank her head, not daring to move.
"Cheng...Cheng Yi..."
The voice was trembling.
On the metal frame in front of Lu Qian, a pitch-black python was hanging upside down, its sharp fangs bared from its blood-red mouth, and it kept making the roar of a hunter.
"hiss--"
On both sides of the small and narrow head, there are thin and straight pupils, and golden light emanates from them.
The black triangular scales kept flashing with dazzling luster as the torso tightened and squirmed.
The contraction of its abdomen is a sign that it is about to start hunting.
Beautiful, elegant, and deadly.
The whitish snake's tongue flickered in and out of its tongue sheath, its jaws wide open, as if considering whether it could swallow the trembling humanoid in front of it.
"hiss……"
The five-meter-long python stopped climbing the moment Cheng Yi appeared.
Cheng Yi's eagle eyes suddenly narrowed, and his whole body exuded an aura of oppression that would scare even wild beasts.
"roll."
A wild and domineering command forced the giant python back onto the high steel frame. It seemed that among all the creatures present, Cheng Yi was the real beast.
After the python retreated, Cheng Yi immediately retracted his aura that could almost crush people, walked forward quickly, and picked up the frightened Lu Qian.
"Don't be afraid."
Cheng Yi held her trembling body in his arms, caressing and comforting her gently.
The servants behind him finally arrived.
Vanessa said worriedly, "Boss, is Miss Lu okay?"
"fine."
Cheng Yi rubbed Lu Qian's little head and replied calmly, then lowered his head, "Shall we go back?"
Lu Qian tugged at Cheng Yi's collar and nodded slightly.
Cheng Yi picked up Lu Qian horizontally, held her tightly against his chest, and gave cold orders.
"Lock the door of Scaled Dive Pavilion."
Vanessa responded in a charming voice, "Yes."
Cheng Yi's embrace was firm and broad, and the gurgling warmth soothed Lu Qian's nerves.
All the fear and terror in her heart disappeared in an instant.
Cheng Yi gently put Lu Qian back on the big bed in the room. Lu Qian's frightened hands gradually calmed down, and she carefully pulled Cheng Yi's sleeve.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."
Lu Qian's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Cheng Yi with a conflicted expression, as if waiting for his forgiveness.
"Don't keep saying sorry." Cheng Yi frowned slightly, pursed his cold lips, and raised his hand to gently caress Lu Qian's face. "This is not your fault."
Lu Qian raised his hand and held Cheng Yi's, and said anxiously: "Then don't punish them."
She was really a little afraid of Cheng Yi's unpredictable style of doing things.
Cheng Yi was obviously angry just now. If he was angry, someone would definitely suffer.
Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly, "Yeah, okay."
He took Lu Qian's hand and examined it carefully, "Are you hurt?"
Lu Qian lowered his brows and shook his head quickly.
"I'm sorry, did I delay your work?"
Lu Qian just saw Vanessa.
When Cheng Yi has work to deal with, she will be there.
Although Lu Qian felt a little depressed every time he saw Vanessa following Cheng Yi...
Cheng Yi sighed, as if he was a little disappointed with the little guy in front of him.
"I told you, don't keep saying sorry."
His woman doesn't need so many apologies.
"right……"
Lu Qian subconsciously wanted to apologize again, but forced himself to hold back the second half of the sentence.
Cheng Yi sat on the bed and gently embraced Lu Qian from behind. His broad arms wrapped around her small and round shoulders, holding her tightly in his arms.
"Are you still afraid?"
Lu Qian shook her head and raised her baby-like face. "Actually, I'm not afraid of snakes, but that one was a little too big."
A five-meter-long python, Lu Qian had never seen one that big even in pictures.
And it's so pure black that it looks fake.
Cheng Yi opened his eyes wide in astonishment, turned Lu Qian's face, and asked for confirmation: "Aren't you afraid of snakes?"
"I'm not afraid." Lu Qian thought Cheng Yi thought she was bragging. "I'm really not afraid. I even raised one when I was a kid."
Cheng Yi raised the corner of his mouth curiously, "Have you raised one?"
Lu Qian puckered up shyly and scratched her temples. "It's not really... raising him, should I say, making friends with him?"
Cheng Yi was amused by Lu Qian and laughed softly, and the low sound made Lu Qian's chest numb.
"why are you laughing……"
Cheng Yi pursed his lips, retracted his smile, and leaned over to rub Lu Qian's neck. "Nothing to laugh about. Can you tell me how you became friends with snakes?"
Cheng Yi teased Lu Qian's soft neck, making it hot and itchy, and her ears felt numb.
She unconsciously took a shallow breath and spoke in a muffled voice.
"That's it..." Lu Qian hesitated a little, "When I was a child, I lived in my grandma's house. We lived in a bungalow. Do you know what a bungalow is?"
Cheng Yi buried his head in Lu Qian's neck and nodded.
"My grandma lived with my uncle, and there wasn't a room for me in that house, so they cleared out a corner of the warehouse for me to live in."
"The warehouse isn't in very good condition. There are rats and other things there occasionally."
"Maybe it's because where there are living things, there are natural enemies. In that case, besides rats, there are snakes nearby."
"I was scared at first, but I didn't dare to call for help. My uncle's family was very busy and ignored me."
"But later I found that the little snake didn't attack me, but occasionally came to catch mice. Later I secretly chiseled a small hole in the wall and let it in to play."
"I lived in that barn for a year and got two cats, two spiders, and a snake."
Lu Qian counted on her fingers and introduced her "friends" to Cheng Yi.
"That little snake is also black, but not as beautiful as this one."
Lu Qian finished speaking, but Cheng Yi didn't react at all.
She raised her hand and poked Cheng Yi's shoulder, "Hey, are you asleep?"
Cheng Yi replied softly: "No."
Then he tightened his big hands around Lu Qian.
"Oh yes, there's another kitten in there, a cow cat," Lu Qian grabbed Cheng Yi's tattooed hand and smiled brightly, "It also has a black spot on its right front paw, just like yours."
Cheng Yi chuckled, raised his head, pinched Lu Qian's delicate chin, and asked softly, "You call this a claw?"
Lu Qian frowned and retorted angrily, "Who said you? I said cat."
Lu Qian blinked her eyes in confusion and asked, "Is that snake your pet?"
Cheng Yi lowered his head and placed a light kiss on Lu Qian's pink lips, explaining with a smile, "If that's what you said, it's also my friend."
"friend?"
Lu Qian was puzzled, wondering where he could make such a big friend.
"I brought it back from the primeval forest while on a mission in the Caribbean."
Cheng Yi grabbed Lu Qian's little hand and measured it in the air.
“It was only this long when I brought it back.”
Lu Qian looked at the less than half a meter long thing and was extremely shocked. "From such a small thing, how could it grow so big?!"
