Chapter 127 — First Release on Jinjiang Literature City

No one knew what the little kitten was thinking at this moment. Even Xie Chen didn’t notice anything unusual.

It was getting late. After giving the kitten a bath, Xie Chen put him on the bed.

“Close your eyes.”

He kissed the kitten’s face: “Tomorrow morning we’re going to the Yan family’s, so you can’t get up too late.”

Bai Lì pressed against his chest, holding him tightly: “Let’s sleep together.”

Without him saying it, Xie Chen wouldn’t stay up late either.

The two embraced, Xie Chen’s arm firmly wrapping around him; the distance between them was so close they could hear each other’s heartbeat.

The next day.

Early in the morning, the black-footed cat started calling Bai Lì.

“Kitten, when are you coming?”

Bai Lì, who was already awake, put the call on speaker.

He sat on the edge of the bed while Xie Chen helped him get dressed.

“I’m coming soon!” Bai Lì’s voice was excited.

This was his first time attending a wedding, and the wedding was for another cat!

He wanted to learn from the experience, so when he gets married and holds his own wedding, he would definitely need this.

“Sir, we need to hurry.”

Bai Lì urged: “Black Brother told us to get there faster.”

“Don’t worry, we won’t be late.”

While speaking, Xie Chen already put the fluffy socks on him.

Since the kitten wanted to dress nicely for the wedding, Xie Chen didn’t wrap him up like a ball before going out.

There was heating in the car, hotel, and Yan family’s place, so the cat wouldn’t feel cold.

“Sir, do I look good?”

Before leaving, Bai Lì tugged on Xie Chen’s arm and looked up to ask.“Good.”

Xie Chen didn’t hesitate at all.

Even wrapped in a plain bedsheet after transforming, his kitten looked stunning.

Carrying the gifts prepared in advance, along with the red envelope, Xie Chen held the kitten’s hand and set off.

Passing by the villa of Tan Yi, Bai Lì mumbled a question.

“Does Jin Jin know if he went to work with my Sixth Brother?”

“No.”

Xie Chen looked down, playing with his hand while responding.

“Jin Jin went out with me yesterday and met your Second Sister. He went to find your Second Sister.”

Bai Lì: “?”

Bai Lì was stunned: “Why did he go to find my Second Sister?”

“He calls your Second Sister ‘sister’.”

Bai Lì: “...”

Recalling how Jin Jin always mentioned ‘sister’, he never expected that ‘sister’ was actually his sister.

“Jin Jin even won’t let me call her sister!”

Bai Lì said, “Second Sister belongs to me, so I should be the one to call her sister.”

Their family didn’t have Jin Jin; Jin Jin was the outsider.

Xie Chen squeezed his soft hand and softly said, “Mm.”

Muttering all the way, they soon arrived at the Yan family.

They came early, and since their status was close to the hosts, as soon as they arrived someone personally greeted them and led them to a room.

Black-footed Brother and Yan Cen’s rooms were separate for now. According to local customs, the couple couldn’t meet the day before the wedding.

Bai Lì pushed open the door and saw Black-footed Brother sitting in front of the mirror, having his hair styled by the makeup artist.

“Black Brother!”

The black-footed cat, irritated all morning, finally relaxed a bit when he saw the little kitten.

“Come here.”

Black-footed Brother beckoned him over: “Let me take a look at you.”

Bai Lì took a few steps forward and stood obediently for him to look.

“Good-looking.”

Black-footed Brother thought the little kitten was especially good-looking, whether in his original form or human shape.“Black Brother, you look great today too.”

The black-footed cat’s transformed appearance was already striking, and today, for the wedding, the Yan family’s elder specially picked a makeup artist who worked on him for a long time. It was obvious that he looked even more dazzling than usual.

The two cats complimented each other.

After that, Bai Lì sat beside him, keeping him company.

With the little kitten talking to him, the black-footed cat’s tolerance for the makeup artist visibly improved a lot.

The makeup artist was so excited their hands were trembling.

“Black Brother, are you nervous?”

“Not nervous.”

The black-footed cat replied calmly, “I’ve seen all kinds of scenes; this is just a small one.”

Bai Lì looked at him so confidently, admiration sparkling in his eyes.

“You’re really amazing.”

If it were him getting married to his master, he’d definitely be very nervous.

They stayed in the room for quite a while until someone knocked—the wedding car had arrived.

Xie Chen was over at Yan Cen’s side and didn’t come to meet Bai Lì.

In the room:

Yan Cen wore a well-tailored suit. His usually pale face had become much rosier under Bai Si’s care.

He wore an unmistakable joy on his face.

“Xie Chen, I’m very happy you came today.”

Xie Chen raised an eyebrow and called him out: “Today’s your big day. Whether I come or not, I guess you’d be happy anyway.”

Yan Cen gave a helpless smile: “Leave me some face; if you see through it, don’t say it.”

The wedding was held at a hotel since an outdoor one was too cold in this season—unless they flew to a warmer place.

Yan Cen had a private island, and so did Xie Chen. The weather on private islands was warm and the scenery beautiful, perfect for vacations or weddings.

But the black-footed cat was too lazy to go.

He just wanted to hold it locally. Doing it locally would also be a chance to organize a gathering for the cats and dogs in the area with canned food treats.

Though the venue was a hotel, it wasn’t a low-end one.

It was the city’s top hotel, fully booked by the Yan family.

Of course, with the full booking came discounts. The discount was given by Xie Chen since this was part of the Xie family’s business.The hotel was very large, and on the eve of the wedding, all the arrangements had been completed.

“Black Brother, you’re about to go on stage.”

Backstage, Bai Lì listened to the emcee passionately narrating the love story of the two grooms at the front desk. The language was exaggerated, the performance theatrical—the pace was quite good overall.

The black-footed cat still hadn’t seen Yan Cen.

He pinched Bai Lì’s cheek to relieve stress: “This emcee talks too much.”

He wished the emcee would finish faster so he could go out to see Yan Cen.

With the black-footed cat’s resentment and the little kitten’s anticipation, finally, the emcee introduced the two grooms.

Bai Lì suddenly stood up and pulled the black-footed cat’s arm: “Black Brother, it’s time to go out!!”

Black-footed cat: “...”

Damn, suddenly feeling a bit nervous.

The Yan family was a prestigious big family. Although this was a wedding between two men, many people still came.

Everyone felt unfamiliar with Yan Cen as the groom.

The Yan family elders showed no dissatisfaction toward Yan Cen’s partner. More than just no dissatisfaction, Yan Cen’s mother even spoke during her turn, personally transferring her shares to the black-footed cat.

They followed the process step by step on stage.

Below the stage:

Xie Chen came up to Bai Lì, holding his hand: “Lìlì.”

Bai Lì looked at the interaction between the black-footed cat and Yan Cen on stage, deeply moved.

“Master.” He returned the grip on Xie Chen’s hand and recited the vows with those on stage.

“I do.”

No matter whether his master was rich or poor, healthy or not, he was willing to be with him forever.

Xie Chen was charmed by his reaction. If they weren’t still on someone else’s turf, he really wanted to lower his head and kiss this little kitten properly.

On stage, Yan Cen and the black-footed cat exchanged rings.

The black-footed cat bent down and actively kissed Yan Cen’s lips.

“I love you.”

No matter how a cat boss said sweet words, he firmly said this to the human he had tamed.

Up on stage, “I love you.” Down below, Xie Chen whispered close to Bai Lì’s ear, “Lìlì, I love you.”

After the ceremony finished, the banquet followed.

Bai Lì was led by Xie Chen holding his hand, watching without leaving his side for even a step.A socialite lady smiled and started a conversation: “Mr. Xie, want to have a drink together?”

Xie Chen refused coldly: “No, my child doesn’t like me drinking.”

The lady’s smile stiffened slightly: “Mr. Xie, are you serious?”

“Serious?”

The lady stepped back a little, looking at him incredulously: “The Xie Group is such a big family business, and you’re serious about being with a boy? Then who will inherit the family business in the future?”

At this point, the lady didn’t hide her intentions: “You two are destined not to have children. Mr. Xie, I can make a deal with you.”

“I’m willing to have a child for you, and I promise not to interfere with your lives. But you need to help—”

Before she finished speaking, Bai Lì pushed her backward.

“Dream on!”

Bai Lì angrily said: “Master wouldn’t touch you. Stay away from us in the future.”

The lady in the long dress was nearly pushed over.

Luckily, she held onto a waiter beside her to steady herself.

“Mr. Xie, you—”

“Call security, have her taken away.”

Before she could finish speaking, the lady was directly escorted out.

Bai Lì was in a terrible mood and was coaxed by Xie Chen for a long time before calming down.

In the blink of an eye, it was nighttime.

They hadn’t returned to the Yan family yet. There was a dinner party in the evening with close family members sitting together.

Bai Lì was invited by the black-footed cat to stay at the Yan family.

Moreover, he even transformed into a scheming cat and picked the room next to the black-footed cat’s bedroom.

The rooms were soundproofed, but with cat ears pressed against the bed, he could still hear some sounds.

At night.

After showering, Xie Chen dried his hair and came to call his cat.

“Lìlì, it’s time for you to take a shower.”

Bai Lì squatted by the wall, his face flushed: “I’ll wash in a bit.”

Xie Chen found his flushed face strange and came over.

“Why is your face so hot all of a sudden?”“No, nothing.”

The silly cat pretended to be nonchalant, fanning himself to cool down: “I didn’t hear anything, and my face isn’t hot either.”

Xie Chen said meaningfully, “Oh.”

So the cat actually did hear about the wedding night.
