Chapter 84 First Released on Jinjiang Literature City

There were other little kittens around, so Black Brother didn’t let them overhear.

Bai Li leaned closer and whispered quietly with Black Brother.

After a long time of whispering, Bai Li curled into a ball, shyly meowing softly: “This, this isn’t really okay, right?”

Forcibly imposing something isn’t suitable for cool Black Brother, and might not suit him either.

But Black Brother patted his head seriously and said, “Don’t worry, I have several ABC plans!”

“You can try them one by one; taming a human is easy.”

Under Black Brother’s brainwashing, Bai Li gathered his courage, clenched his paws, and decided to be bold!

The secret cat meeting in the room lasted quite a while.

When it ended, Bai Li led the cats out and stretched out his paws for Xie Chen to pick him up.

“Master.”

On the way back, Bai Li lay on Xie Chen’s shoulder and meowed, “Black Brother is going to marry that human, did you know?”

“Mm, I know.”

“I want to give a gift.”

“Okay.”

“I also want to get married.”

“Hmm... wait, what did you say?”

Xie Chen almost let it slide. He lowered his eyes to look at the little kitten lying on him, furrowing his brows: “Say that again.”

Bai Li buried in his neck obediently meowed: “I said, I also want to get married.”

He had a betrothal agreement with Master!

“You’re still young.”

Without hesitation, Xie Chen used this excuse: “Just eat well every day, don’t think too much about other things.”

Bai Li wasn’t very happy.

But Xie Chen’s skill at coaxing kittens was well-practiced; in no time, the kitten was distracted from the original topic.

Two peaceful days passed.The Xie family was holding a formal evening event, and there was no doubt that Xie Chen would attend.

“Li Li, have you picked out what clothes to wear?”

“No.”

Bai Li looked at the whole wardrobe of clothes, feeling a bit troubled.

Master said they were hosting the evening event, so they were the hosts who needed to entertain guests.

Bai Li naturally put himself in the host’s position and decided to take good care of the guests.

He was also familiar with the venue—it was Master’s other residence.

He had stayed there with Master before; that place looked nice but wasn’t as comfortable as the villa they currently lived in.

“This one then.”

Xie Chen reached out from behind and personally picked out a little suit for him. Most of the wardrobe was now Bai Li’s clothes, including various casual outfits, formal wear for events, and even cat clothes—everything imaginable.

Xie Chen and Xie Bo seemed to be playing Miracle Li Li, making sure Bai Li wore new clothes every day—so handsome.

Of course, when he delivered things, Bai Li still wore his favorite floral padded jacket.

Both of them finished changing, and Bai Li’s eyes sparkled as he looked at himself and Master in the mirror: “Looks good!”

His bow tie and Master’s tie matched perfectly!

Xie Chen pressed on his shoulder, holding him completely in his arms, his tone soft and warm: “Mm, Li Li looks very good today.”

Among the several brothers appearing in the Bai family, although each was handsome,

to be fair, the most stunning one was still Bai Li.

Sometimes Xie Chen wanted his Li Li to remain just a little kitten in front of others. Only he could see his face, his human form...

Bai Li liked being praised.

He curved his eyes and patted Xie Chen’s arm happily: “Master, say a few more words.”

Following the kitten’s wishes, Xie Chen praised him for a while longer, coaxing the kitten into great happiness.

Many people came to the evening event.

Because it was on their own turf, Bai Li didn’t let Xie Chen pull him around wherever he went.

“Black Brother said he’s coming. I’ll go to the door to meet him!”

Bai Li said this, shook off Xie Chen’s hand, and clicked his leather shoes as he walked out.

Xie Bo saw him leave and purposely called out, “Hey, Li Li, slow down a bit.”

“I know!”

Xie Bo watched Bai Li’s retreating figure disappear, smiling as he turned to Xie Chen: “Master, look, Li Li really knows how to entertain guests.”Xie Chen raised an eyebrow ambiguously and didn’t respond to that remark.

Many people attended the evening event, and guests who received invitations could bring others along.

Among them, there was Diao Ling, who was brought in only after a lot of effort.

She originally followed Lin Chao, but because of the Bai Li situation, she offended Lin Chao and could no longer survive in the circle, so she had to find a new backer.

Her backer was an older wealthy businessman. Although he was willing to spend money on her, he couldn’t help her make a comeback.

Diao Ling considered herself attractive and well-figured and was determined to become a top star in the circle—there was no way she’d willingly quit.

She begged the businessman to bring her in.

She wanted to fight for a chance to make a comeback here!

Bai Li, who went out to greet the guests, hadn’t seen Diao Ling yet. At that moment, he was holding Xie Chen’s phone, asking Yan Cen when they would arrive.

“We’ve arrived.”

Among the arrivals were Yan Cen and Black Brother, as well as Bai Li’s fourth brother.

Bai Si noticed his younger brother standing alone and immediately narrowed his eyes, walking over in a few steps.

“Are you cold standing here?”

“No!”

Bai Li said he wasn’t cold, but his hands were ice-cold when Bai Si grabbed them.

Bai Si frowned, covered his brother’s hands to warm them, and led him into the hall.

Black Foot Cat had only recently transformed into a human form and, obviously like Bai Li once, was still in the adjustment period.

However, perhaps because he was used to being the leader, Black Foot Cat’s aura was still very commanding.

He was pushing Yan Cen’s wheelchair, and Yan Cen occasionally turned his head to say something to him.

Hearing this, Black Brother’s expression became increasingly serious.

Bai Li originally wanted to chat with Black Brother, but looking at Black Brother and his human, he sighed with worry.

Sigh.

Black Brother’s mind was entirely on that human; he had no time for him.

“Li Li.”

Bai Si reached out, pinched his precious younger brother’s cheek, and quietly extended an invitation—

“Tired? Want Fourth Brother to take you somewhere quiet for a while?”Bai Li: "..."

Bai Li frowned, signaling refusal: "Fourth Brother, I don’t want to go to sleep."

Bai Si looked regretful.

His only intention for coming here was to take his brother away later.

Bai Li watched Fourth Brother warily, then said after a moment, "Fourth Brother, you stay here and hang around for a bit. I have things to do."

Because it was their own event, Bai Li was very attentive; he wanted to check whether the food and drinks on the tables were enough, if the guests were happily chatting, and so on.

The busy little cat glanced here and there.

He was handsome, attracting quite a few people’s attention.

The wealthy businessman beside Diao Ling also set his sights on the young man at the event.

These rich people usually had no picky tastes—male or female, as long as someone was outstanding-looking, they were willing to try.

Diao Ling bit her lip in hatred when she saw Bai Li but didn’t dare offend him again.

She still had a major task to accomplish today—one big enough to guarantee her glory for the rest of her life once done.

“Master, I want to go to the restroom,” Diao Ling whispered to the businessman.

“Go ahead,”

The businessman waved him off indifferently. Diao Ling had seen plenty of dirty dealings in the circle and had even done a lot herself.

She still remembered that, at the very beginning, she was used by someone’s scheme and sent to someone else’s bed.

She had broken down crying over it, but later she understood that to survive in this circle without background, this kind of scheming was necessary.

Without enough cunning or means, you could only wait to be eliminated.

Diao Ling quietly slipped out, taking the prepared item and discreetly slipped it into the wine glass placed near Xie Chen.

Her palms were sweaty from nervousness, but she was fearless.

She was gambling on something big.

If she could successfully scheme against Xie Chen, it would be worth it.

She wouldn’t have to envy or be jealous of Bai Li, or even Liu Yi, who had originally agreed to help her.

“Master.”

After walking around for a while, Bai Li came back to report to Xie Chen: “I’ve checked everything. Everyone is very amicable, no one is fighting.”

Xie Chen rubbed his head and thought that fights were rare in such a setting anyway.

Someone else came over and started chatting with Xie Chen. Xie Chen lifted his glass and clinked it with theirs.

This evening’s event was related to Xie Chen’s work, but Bai Li didn’t understand the details, so Xie Chen didn’t explain it to him.With outsiders present, Bai Li obediently acted as the backdrop. He saw the wine glass in Xie Chen’s hand and remembered what Xie Bo had told him: to watch Master carefully and not let him drink too much.

“Master, give me the wine glass!”

Bai Li reached out and took the wine glass from Xie Chen’s hand.

Xie Chen let him take the glass, a trace of indulgence flickering in his eyes.

“Alright, I’m not drinking anymore. Good boy, go play over there.”

Bai Li obeyed, carrying the wine glass to wander elsewhere.

Just as he left, the person who wanted to clink glasses with Xie Chen laughed teasingly, “Didn’t expect President Xie to have such a good temper.”

Xie Chen replied calmly, “Just coaxing a child, making President Li laugh.”

While they were talking, Bai Li held the wine glass and felt a bit tempted to taste a little.

This was alcohol.

Neither Master nor Xie Bo allowed him to drink it.

Bai Li looked at the wine glass, feeling a little itchy inside. He sat down on the small sofa, planning to secretly take a sip while no one was watching.

But just as his mouth was about to reach the glass, a slender, beautiful hand took the wine glass away.

“Li Li, drink this.”

Without him noticing, Bai Si, who had been lying here sleeping, threw him a bottle of goat milk and took the wine glass. Goat milk was a drink; it was fine for cats to drink.

Bai Si definitely didn’t want his precious younger brother to try alcohol.

Bai Li stared dumbly at the replaced goat milk and honestly said to Fourth Brother, “Fourth Brother, I’ll get drunk if I drink goat milk.”

Having spent most of his time on the mountain sleeping, Bai Si really didn’t know this.

He refused to believe it and insisted his precious younger brother try it.

How could that be?

Is there a kitten in the world that gets drunk from milk?

Under Fourth Brother’s probing gaze, Bai Li could only open the goat milk and gulp it down.

He liked goat milk; usually, Xie Chen hid it and didn’t give it to him!

“Here, don’t rush to finish it, let’s clink glasses.”

Bai Si took his original wine glass and clinked it with him, then took a sip.

A few seconds later,

Bai Si put down the glass, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.“Li Li.”

His tone was still normal, probably afraid of scaring his younger brother: “Where did you get the wine from?”

“From Xie Chen’s. Xie Bo said he wasn’t allowed to drink much, so I took it away.”

Bai Li hadn’t finished the goat milk yet, and he still looked clear-headed.

Bai Si smiled, tugged his tie, took a pill from his pocket, and swallowed it.

“Interesting.”

Xie Chen was his brother’s person.

Although he disliked this enemy who stole his brother, Xie Chen was still family to him.

Competing for his precious Li Li? He must be joking.

“Li Li, get up.”

Bai Si stood up, ready to take his brother away: “Fourth Brother will take you to have some fun.”

Bai Li gave a small “oh” and subconsciously followed him.

But after just a few steps, Bai Li suddenly stopped: “Fourth Brother.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I want to find Master!”

Bai Li’s body wavered; his beautiful amber eyes were moist, as if soaked, and his delicate face flushed red.

Bai Si: “???”

Damn.

My brother really can’t drink goat milk.

Bai Si was shocked, watching his brother turn around and hobble off to find Xie Chen, hurriedly following after him.

But once he chased, Bai Li ran.

Bai Si: “……”

Watching the unsteady figure ahead, wobbling as if about to collapse any moment, Bai Si regretted wanting to slap himself.

Just as Bai Li staggered and couldn’t stand steady, he finally saw the person he wanted to find.

“Master!”

Bai Li raised his flushed face, struggling to reach Xie Chen, then his legs gave way, and he collapsed into Xie Chen’s arms.
