Chapter 111 Jinjiang Literature City Premiere

After the little kitten had curled up on Sir’s lap and slept several times, the car stopped, and they arrived at the villa.

Xie Bo and Tan Yi were already waiting early at the door, and when they saw them return, they all came out to greet them.

“Lili!”

Everyone’s focus was unified, directly aiming at the little kitten sleeping drowsily in Xie Chen’s arms.

After all, compared to Xie Chen, the tiny kitten worried them more.

Bai Li was petted on the head and had his paws squeezed, being checked all over.

“Still good, nothing wrong.”

After Tan Yi finished the check, he let out a breath of relief and concluded.

Xie Chen had to rush to the company; Bai Li was left at home with him. Fortunately, several of his older brothers were there and wanted to take a good look at their little brother.

“Meow.”

Before leaving, Bai Li was still a little scared.

Xie Chen’s recent accident had left him with a shadow of fear.

“Be good, don’t be afraid.”

Xie Chen knew his emotions very well: “I’m going to the company, I’ll be back soon. When I return, I’ll bring you some snacks.”

“Okay.”

Bai Li reluctantly released his little paws and let Xie Chen leave.

As soon as Xie Chen left, Bai Li was carried into the villa by Tan Yi.

The living room coffee table was piled with all kinds of food; Xie Bo also bought quite a few cat toys.

“Lili’s brothers, feel free to eat and play.”

Bai Li’s identity was no secret to Xie Bo. Xie Bo was smart and knew Bai Li was a little monster, so naturally, the little monster’s older brothers wouldn’t be human either.

Xie Bo, who liked petting cats, looked at the four cats sitting there with loving eyes.

He worried the cats wouldn’t relax, so he found an excuse to leave first.

After a while.

The four cats sitting in a row on the sofa all stared at the toy in Yu Yin’s hand.

As the only human among the cats, the task of teasing them fell solely on him.

“Lili, look over here.”Yu Yin favored the little kitten in the middle. He held a toy with a bell, deliberately teasing the kitten to lure him.

As for his husband—well, not as cute as the little brother, so he didn’t feel like petting him.

Inside the villa, the sister-in-law coaxed the cats to play, and the cats were all very cooperative.

At the company.

Anna almost cried when she saw the boss return.

“Boss.”

The usually capable elite female secretary Anna tearfully complained to the boss, “During the days you were gone, I was so worried my hair was falling out!”

Xie Chen glanced at her hairline.

Anna: “...”

Anna covered her forehead, refusing to let the boss examine her hair with that probing look.

They didn’t talk much nonsense. After Anna finished complaining, she reported some recent important matters at the company to Xie Chen.

“In just these few days, rumors spread outside saying you were kidnapped and in critical danger.”

“Many people are itching to take advantage and wait for us to fall.”

Anna angrily reported everything to Xie Chen and even circled several companies involved.

“I had someone investigate the news. Recently, some of our subsidiary brands were hacked; it’s their handiwork.”

Those companies weren’t as large as the well-established Xie Group but were not small either.

When they joined forces, their strength was formidable.

Xie Chen flipped through the materials Anna handed him, showing no expression from beginning to end.

It seemed that no matter the trouble, it wasn’t worth him showing the slightest trace of nervousness.

Soon.

Xie Chen began dealing with the more urgent and important matters one by one.

He wanted to go home early to accompany his cats, but before he knew it, night had fallen completely outside.

Anna checked the time and reminded him, “Boss, maybe you should go back now. Lili is probably still waiting for you at home.”

Speak of the devil.

Just as Anna mentioned Bai Li, his call came through the next second.

“Sir.”

The little kitten sitting on the sofa, watching his older brothers play Mahjong, called him: “When are you coming back?”

“Soon.”

Xie Chen placed his phone on the table, efficiently tidied up some documents.

In less than two minutes, he stood up, grabbed his laptop, and gestured for Anna to get off work.Anna yawned behind him.

She thought to herself, fortunately the boss is back. These past few days of overthinking had been quite stressful.

Now that the boss is here, her pressure vanished instantly.

The car sped along.

When Xie Chen returned, Bai family’s older brothers were about to leave after seeing him enter.

Just now, with Xie Chen not around, though no one said it, they all worried the little kitten might be scared.

So they casually set up Mahjong to pass the time.

“Goodbye, brothers! Goodbye, sisters-in-law!”

Bai Li saw his sir return and rushed into his arms, sitting on his arm, obediently waving his paws to the brothers.

After the brothers and sisters-in-law left, Bai Li hugged Xie Chen and gave several affectionate kisses.

“Sir.”

The clingy little kitten finished kissing and rubbed against him, meowing to confess, “I missed you.”

Xie Chen supported him, lowered his head, and touched his forehead to Bai Li’s, showing affection.

“Did you miss me, or are you afraid I’ll disappear again?” Bai Li blinked, honestly admitting under Xie Chen’s gaze, “Afraid you’ll lose me again.”

Xie Chen pinched his small paw and promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t lose you again.”

“Mm!”

After this ordeal, Xie Chen clearly felt that the kitten in his arms was more anxious about him than ever before.

Especially at night.

Whenever he moved slightly, the little kitten, originally sound asleep, would stir too.

The kitten held him with paws, very sleepy, eyes barely open, humming softly—half awake, half asleep.

Xie Chen had no choice but to stay still all night.

So clingy at night, the next morning Xie Chen thought the kitten would come to work with him, but unexpectedly, the kitten was very responsible.

“I’m going to the cat café.”

Bai Li sat wrapped in the blanket, transformed again into a handsome young boy.

The young boy rubbed his eyes, messy hair slightly covering his brows, his delicate features like a master’s exquisite carving.

Xie Chen was tempted, leaned over the bed, and kissed his lips.

“Aren’t you coming to my company?”

“No.”

Bai Li hugged his neck, just waking up, his face still warm, while Xie Chen’s was cool. He buried his face in Xie Chen’s neck, nuzzling the coolness.

Xie Chen let him nuzzle for a while.“Be good, shall we get up?”

Xie Chen gently moved him a little, wrapping him up again with the blanket.

Bai Li held his hand tightly and didn’t let go.

“Sir, I still want to kiss you once more.”

Bai Li tilted his head back, his beautiful amber eyes revealing unmasked affection.

He loved the gentle kisses from Sir.

Besides Sir, he also loved all kinds of contact with him.

Xie Chen looked at him steadily, then after a moment, kissed him again.

On a winter morning, the temperature outside was frighteningly cold, but inside the room was a warmth that made one want to linger.

Xie Chen held the kitten in his arms and fell onto the bed.

When he got up again, it was an hour later.

The young boy he had transformed into suddenly turned back into a kitten ball.

The kitten ball sat with its back to Xie Chen, pouting, very withdrawn.

Xie Chen poked the little ball, smiling in his eyes: “Li Li, all cats are like this.”

“Cough, just now… it wasn’t your fault.”

Bai Li didn’t believe it.

Since last time, he had secretly searched.

Ordinary cats transform for only about ten minutes.

But he’s not an ordinary cat—he’s a monster cat!

Compared to Sir, the obvious difference crushed his spirit completely.

Xie Chen patiently comforted the withdrawn kitten: “Li Li, you’ve done very well, really.”

The withdrawn kitten felt not good at all.

One person and one kitten woke up quite early, but spent all the morning time lying in bed.

Xie Chen took some wet wipes and cleaned the kitten’s little paws that had just gotten dirty.

The kitten glanced down at the paws, then looked up at Sir, not wanting to say anything.

After a while,

Xie Chen changed the dirty sheets and bedding again. Cats’ noses are very sensitive and more easily affected by smells.

“Li Li, stop sniffing your paws.”

Xie Chen finished tidying the bed, then picked up the kitten and put him back on the bed: “Transform again, I’ll help you put on your clothes.”

Bai Li was going to work at the cat café, taking care of those little cats. Naturally, transforming made it more convenient.He shook his head, tossing all the earlier matters out of his mind.

Plop.

The young boy appeared again.

Xie Chen took out thermal underwear, a thick sweater, and a warm fluffy coat.

Bai Li sat at the edge of the bed, swinging his feet, waiting for Sir to dress him.

Xie Chen had lived more than twenty years, and the only one who willingly served him like this was the little kitten in front of him—no one else.

Before long,

the two finally held hands and went downstairs.

Xie Bo had already prepared breakfast. Seeing them only now coming down, he immediately began to overthink.

But despite the overthinking, seeing the kitten’s state, it didn’t look like anything had happened.

“Sir.”

Xie Bo handed Xie Chen a bowl of soup, verbally concerned about why he got up late, but in his heart, he was uneasy.

What exactly was going on between Sir and Li Li...

They still hadn’t gone to the bridal chamber until now.

Xie Bo’s worry wasn’t entirely about satisfying Xie Chen.

It was because he kept thinking about the big data—that men lose ability with age.

Li Li was still young. If Sir also became part of the big data...

Sigh.

Such a curse!

Xie Chen didn’t notice Xie Bo’s thoughts. He occasionally fed the kitten, and breakfast was rather pleasant.

When the two left,

Xie Bo gritted his teeth and started searching for new recipes.

A tonic soup to boost vitality!

He had to properly nourish Sir.

At the cat café entrance.

Xie Chen put Bai Li down, said a few words to him, and watched him walk into the cat café.

“Meow!”

“Meow-wow!!!”

“Meow, meow meow.”

As soon as he entered the cat café, kittens swarmed from all directions and quickly overwhelmed Bai Li.

The kittens had all been bathed, brushed, and carefully groomed—much prettier and cuter than when they were strays before.The soft little kittens surrounded Bai Li, begging for head pats, fur strokes, and hugs.

Bai Li hadn’t seen them for several days and missed them a lot.

He crouched down and patted each kitten’s head: “Have you all been behaving lately?”

“Meow!”

“Yes!”

The kittens answered loudly in unison.

Mei Mei, who had claimed the best spot, rubbed against big brother and then raised her paw like a little spy to tattle on him.

“Someone sent flowers again.”

“There’s a little card with the flowers!”

“Big brother, do you want to see? I heard from other cats that this is how humans court each other.”

Bai Li: “…”

Thinking of his own Sir, he coldly said, “No.”

“Let’s go, we’ll send all these flowers out.”

The flowers were innocent; they shouldn’t be thrown in the trash.

Since that’s the case, they might as well set up a small table outside with a sign saying “Donated by an anonymous person. Anyone who wants to take can take.”
