The next day, Xie Chen woke up earlier than Bai Li. He looked down at the little cat curled up in a ball asleep.

If he poked the cat ball with his hand, he would get a soft little cat lying on its back with its belly exposed.

Xie Chen leaned closer, watching the little cat sleep with its head tilted, guessing that it was sleeping too soundly because its tongue was slightly sticking out—pink and very cute.

“Li Li.”

Xie Chen lowered his voice and called him.

The little cat seemed to sense something, turning over and covering its face with its paws.

One person and one cat, quietly in the morning, warmly sleeping on the same bed, saying nothing—the scene was as beautiful as a carefully painted picture.

There was an alarm clock set in the room.

The seven o’clock alarm blasted out, but the sleepy little cat didn’t open its eyes, its chubby body climbing up first.

“Meow, meow meow.”

It’s time to get up!

Xie Chen found it amusing and couldn’t help but wiggle his finger, poking the little cat’s belly.

The little cat, who was already wobbling sitting up, suddenly fell back onto the quilt with a “pop.”

Xie Chen: “Ahem.”

Cute.

The poked little cat shook its head and good-naturedly got up again, clutching Xie Chen’s finger with its paws.

“Meow.”

Don’t poke me.

Xie Chen couldn’t poke anymore since the cat was being so good, so he got up and carried the little cat to wash up.

A moment later,

Bai Li shook his clean fur and snapped from little cat back into a person.

“Sir?”

Bai Li looked up, staring at Xie Chen without blinking, confirming, “Are you my fiancé now?”

Xie Chen wrapped him in his robe, placed him on the bed, and nodded.“Yes, I am your fiancé.”

Bai Li received the answer. Although his face was clearly very happy, he still tried to pretend he wasn’t that excited.

“So from now on, the two of us are going to get married. Fiancés always get married, you know,”

He spoke incoherently but with a very serious tone, talking to Xie Chen about marriage.

Xie Chen’s heart softened, and he held Bai Li’s hand.

“I know.”

“After your birthday, when you grow up a little more, we’ll get married.”

Xie Chen’s low, pleasant voice spoke the promise that made Bai Li’s heart race.

Originally trying to act like a reserved cat, Bai Li could no longer hold it in this time. He directly buried his head into Xie Chen’s embrace, happily rubbing around.

They stayed at home being affectionate all morning. After breakfast, Bai Li even specially went to Xie Bo’s side and solemnly announced their childhood engagement with Xie Chen.

Xie Bo, truly experienced in life, immediately clapped enthusiastically.

“Congratulations to Mr. Xie, congratulations to Li Li.”

After saying a string of congratulatory words, Xie Bo took the initiative to make a request.

“Li Li, for happy occasions you should wear red. How about I make you several sets of red cat clothes?”

Bai Li was stunned.

Wearing red clothes so early already?

“Okay, that’s fine.”

The clueless cat obediently nodded in agreement to have Xie Bo make red clothes.

Before leaving home, after Bai Li turned into a cat, the snack bag hanging on his neck was filled with wedding candies by Xie Bo.

“Today, you can give out candies to others,” Xie Bo said with a smile.

“Mm! I will.”

The little cat carrying wedding candies politely said goodbye to Xie Bo, quickly ran over to kiss Mr. Xie, then turned and proudly ran out the door.

Xie Chen and Xie Bo watched that white figure disappear at the doorway, both showing a rare warmth only reserved for their own family.

“Mr. Xie, Li Li is very good.”

Xie Bo said to Xie Chen, “Take good care of him.”

Mr. Xie’s mind was heavy, always cautious and guarded toward everyone.

Xie Bo once thought that with Mr. Xie’s personality, his surroundings would always be cold and empty.

Unexpectedly, after twists and turns and a turn for the better, in Mr. Xie’s world, Li Li suddenly broke in.Li Li was innocent and naive, and those beautiful eyes always looked at Mr. Xie with pure affection.

Xie Bo felt that no matter how many beautiful words he used to describe Li Li, they still wouldn’t be enough.

Such a little angel-like Li Li being with Mr. Xie made Xie Bo wish he could immediately go to the temple and offer a few more incense sticks to the Bodhisattva.

Xie Chen responded with a hum, agreeing with Xie Bo.

Outside,

The cheerful little cat led the other kittens, setting off toward the seafood shop.

On the way, seeing it was still early, he deliberately took a detour to Dr. Qiu He’s veterinary clinic.

The clinic sold many things, and Bai Li bought each kitten a can of meat.

The kittens ate the canned food while Dr. Qiu He enjoyed the wedding candies.

Bai Li hadn’t told Dr. Qiu He about turning back into a human, so in front of Dr. Qiu He, he still wore his little vest.

“Meow meow.”

These are wedding candies from Bai Li and Mr. Xie.

The little cat in the vest handed out the candies and even proudly explained why he was giving them out.

Dr. Qiu He peeled a candy, popped it into his mouth — very sweet.

“I’ll go congratulate Mr. Xie soon,” he said with a smile.

The kittens eating the canned food had already finished celebrating their eldest brother.

They were happy for him but also a bit worried.

Both Heige and the eldest brother were now engaged.

Sigh.

Their salaries hadn’t come through yet, so giving wedding gifts was really tough.

Still, even if they had to secretly scavenge, they would save up money to give red envelopes to Heige and the eldest brother!

The kittens’ delivery service was especially popular these days.

Especially Bai Li’s deliveries, which Liu, the owner of the seafood shop, designated as VIP customer-only orders.

Zhou Zhi had long ago arranged VIP status for Bai Li.

Today’s order was placed by her.

Bai Li hadn’t seen Zhou Zhi in a while. Suddenly seeing her again, he hurriedly stretched out his paws, asking her to pick him up.

“It’s finally good to see you.”After Zhou Zhi’s comeback, she went abroad to settle some grudges from before her return.

Now that the old grudges overseas were cleared, she had just come back to the country.

Bai Li was spun around a few times by Zhou Zhi, almost dizzy.

“Meow, meow meow!”

Put me down, I’ll give you wedding candy!

“Okay.”

Zhou Zhi put him down, took the candy, and before he could say anything, asked first: “You and Xie Chen, are you two together now?”

Bai Li: “?”

Bai Li’s cat face was confused.

He—had he been exposed?

Seeing his stunned look, Zhou Zhi laughed and patted his head, explaining, “That time at my dance party, you transformed. After transforming, I even brought you on stage to dance.”

Bai Li recalled that and immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

Zhou Zhi had no discomfort about his transformation. On the contrary, she still couldn’t forget how handsome he looked after transforming.

“Li Li, I happen to have something to discuss with you.”

“Meow.”

What is it?

“I’m going somewhere tonight and want you to accompany me.”

Zhou Zhi gently asked for his opinion: “There will be someone there tonight who framed me. I really dislike her.”

“That person is very narcissistic. Always thinking her face is the prettiest, no one compares.”

“If you come with me, you’ll definitely outshine her. I like seeing her get put in her place.”

Zhou Zhi didn’t hide her intentions and openly told him.

Bai Li looked at Zhou Zhi; although she smiled, her eyes were cold.

It was clear she really hated that person.

“I’ll go with you.”

Bai Li grabbed her hand with his paws, agreeing to her invitation.

Zhou Zhi had taught him so many cat dances; he wanted to repay her somehow.

Besides, if it weren’t for him discovering and breaking the dark mist that was framing Zhou Zhi early on, she might not even be here now.

Bai Li was a cat that held grudges; he also deeply understood Zhou Zhi’s grudges.After the agreement between the two of them, Zhou Zhi suddenly seemed to remember something and smiled as she reminded Bai Li.

“By the way, that very popular big star Tan Yi, I heard he’s your brother?”

“Meow!”

Yes.

“He’s also going to be there tonight.”

Zhou Zhi revealed the news to him: “If you come with me, you can see him too.”

Bai Li, unexpectedly learning about Third Brother’s whereabouts, instantly tightened his cat face.

He remembered Third Brother and Sixth Brother told him they would return yesterday, and if not, Sixth Brother would have to eat instant noodles forever without the seasoning packet.

But until now, neither Third Brother nor Sixth Brother had come back!

They lied to the cat!

Bai Li clenched his paws tightly, deciding to catch his two brothers and bring them home tonight.

He made an appointment with Zhou Zhi for 6:30 PM.

Before five o’clock, after delivering an order, Bai Li went to the company to report his schedule to Xie Chen.

Before leaving, he returned to the villa, transformed into a human, and put on clothes.

After he dressed, Xie Bo had the bodyguards bring the car from the garage and drove him to the company.

At the front desk and among other employees, seeing Bai Li arrive, everyone understood clearly: he came to see the boss.

The dedicated elevator door opened.

In the few minutes going upstairs and downstairs, Xie Chen personally came to pick him up.

Seeing him, Bai Li’s eyes curved happily, and he rushed over like a little cannonball.

Xie Chen rubbed his head, held his hand, and led him into the office.

“Are you hungry?”

As soon as they entered the office, Xie Chen brought him something to eat.

Bai Li wasn’t very hungry; when he returned to the villa earlier, Xie Bo chased after him and fed him a bowl of steamed egg custard.

“I have something to tell you.”

Bai Li sat down, looking at him eagerly, and said proactively, “At around seven o’clock, I need to go out.”

Xie Chen’s eyes darkened slightly, but his face showed no emotional fluctuation.

“Where are you going?”“Going to catch Third Brother and Sixth Brother.”

Bai Li said angrily, “They haven’t come back for many days. They promised to return yesterday.”

Xie Chen smoothed the fur of the fluffed-up cat, petting him while questioning.

Not long after,

Bai Li told everything, from seeing Zhou Zhi to going to catch his brothers.

“I’ll go with you.” Xie Chen didn’t stop him. After all, this was what the kitten had promised, and it wouldn’t be good to go back on it.

“No, I can’t.”

Bai Li said awkwardly, “Zhou Zhi only wants me to accompany her.”

If he brought Xie Chen, then it wouldn’t count as him accompanying Zhou Zhi.

Xie Chen was rejected by the kitten, a vague emotion flashing in his deep, cold eyes.

“Doesn’t Li Li want me to go with you?”

“Yes.”

Bai Li answered honestly, “But Zhou Zhi didn’t invite you.”

So, Xie Chen can’t go.

Completely rejected, Xie Chen’s deep cold eyes reflected Bai Li’s pretty little face.

After a moment,

“Fine.”

He seemed to concede, saying to Bai Li, “Go then. When you come back, I’ll come to pick you up.”

“Mm!”

Bai Li got permission, reached out, hugged him, and rubbed against him in his arms.

He just knew, Xie Chen is super good!

At seven o’clock sharp, the super good Xie Chen brought his kitten to Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi saw him, feeling both surprised and not so surprised.

Bai Li left with Zhou Zhi, and Xie Chen followed right after, sitting in the car.
