The living room door closes automatically.

Xu Nuonuo pouted, turned her head to the side, wiped away her tears, and ignored Mu Ningchi.

After all, if someone was nearly strangled to death after celebrating someone's birthday, I believe that no one would be able to recover immediately. So Mu Ningchi patiently gave Xu Nuonuo three minutes.

Three minutes later, the kitten on the ground was still in a bad mood. It didn't get up or move, and it ignored him or even looked at him!

Mu Ningchi pinched his brows impatiently, "Xu Nuonuo, what if you are deaf? Then I will..."

"Just cut them, right? Cut them!! Cut them!!!"

Xu Nuonuo yelled angrily at Mu Ningchi, and acted like he was ready to throw away the whole thing.

Huh, he’s become braver and even dares to yell at him!

Mu Ningchi was stunned for a moment, then instead of getting angry, he laughed, walked down the stairs step by step, and took the initiative to approach.

"That's great. They can resist and show their claws. That's good. Cats that are too docile are not fun. I don't like them."

He squatted in front of Xu Nuonuo and pinched Xu Nuonuo's earlobe with his left hand. It was very soft and turned red as soon as he touched it.

Mu Ningchi felt somewhat comfortable, and rubbed Xu Nuonuo's soft little ears gently with his fingertips.

The tingling and slightly painful feeling made Xu Nuonuo shudder. She trembled and tried to dodge, but was stopped by Mu Ningchi who quickly raised his right hand and pinched her jaw hard.

"Didn't you ask me to cut it off? Why are you hiding?"

It's cutting, not touching!!

But Xu Nuonuo couldn't say it. She couldn't tell the difference between cutting and touching. Which one scared her more? She subconsciously shrank her neck.

Mu Ningchi saw through her thoughts and let go.

Then he pulled out a sharp dagger from somewhere, swung it under Xu Nuonuo's nose, and gently lifted her jaw with the tip of the knife.

"If you won't let me touch you, then cut it off!"

The blade slid gently along Xu Nuonuo's soft jawline. The cold touch of the metal frightened Xu Nuonuo so much that his hair stood on end and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

But Mu Ningchi didn't show any intention of stopping. Seeing that she was scared, he smiled even more happily.

The blade touched her earlobe. Xu Nuonuo could no longer hold back. Her long and curled eyelashes fluttered. She closed her eyes tightly, suppressed her tears and began to beg for mercy.

"No, don't cut it. Uncle Chi, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

Are you so scared? I'm going to cry again!

Mu Ningchi curled his lips slightly, turned the dagger in another direction, and before Xu Nuonuo's tears fell, he placed the back of the knife in Xu Nuonuo's palm and changed the subject.

"Aren't you going to celebrate my birthday? Do you have a cake? Go and cut me a piece."

Xu Nuonuo opened his eyes and nodded, "Yes, yes."

She stood up holding the dagger. The sharp, silver dagger felt heavy and had a strong texture. The patterns carved on the blade were peculiar and delicate, not like an ordinary dagger.

I don’t know if this dagger has ever been stained with blood?

Thinking of this, Xu Nuonuo couldn't help but shudder and quickly put the dagger back into Mu Ningchi's palm.

"Uncle Chi, the kitchen has a serrated knife specifically for cutting cakes. You should take this back..."

"Hurry up, I'm hungry."

"it is good."

Mu Ningchi turned his finger bones, inserted the dagger back into the outside of his calf, and stood up and lazily lay on the sofa.

The whip wounds on his back had already been treated, and the drugs were beginning to take effect, causing a burning pain. Even though he had great endurance, a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

So much so that when Xu Nuonuo disobeyed him again, he seemed to not have the energy to argue with the kitten anymore——

Xu Nuonuo did not cut the cake for Mu Ningchi as instructed. Instead, she brought the whole cake over and even put 26 candles on it on her own initiative.

She squatted obediently beside the coffee table and lit the candles one by one with a long-handled lighter.

The faint candlelight illuminated her fair and smooth face.

Mu Ningchi looked at her with his face leaning against his arms.

Only after all the candles were lit did Xu Nuonuo look back.

The two of them stared at each other in silence across the candlelight.

After a while, Xu Nuonuo pursed her lips, took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of decision, and began to hum softly.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The low humming sound was melodious and graceful, like the gurgling of water flowing through Mu Ningchi's heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly and waited until Xu Nuonuo finished humming before speaking in a calm voice.

"Xu Nuonuo, if you don't want to sing, you don't have to. The voice of reluctance is unpleasant to listen to."

"..."

Xu Nuonuo choked noticeably when her thoughts were exposed. She coughed awkwardly and spoke in a low voice with her cheeks slightly red.

"Uncle Chi, make a wish?"

Mu Ningchi has everything he wants and doesn’t need to deceive himself through childish methods like making wishes.

But he still thought about it seriously, then stared into Xu Nuonuo's beautiful and clear eyes, and curled the corners of his lips like a gangster.

"Then...get a kitten."

Do you need to make a wish to raise a cat? Xu Nuonuo didn't quite understand Mu Ningchi's strange train of thought. She blinked her big eyes and waved at him kindly.

"Just keep your wish in your heart and pray silently. Don't speak it out loud. If you speak it out loud, it won't come true!"

"Whether it works or not, I have the final say!"

Mu Ningchi withdrew his gaze and extinguished all the candles with a light wave of his hand.

"I asked you to cut a piece of cake, but you did it in so many different ways. I think you really want to starve me to death!"

Xu Nuonuo would never believe that Mu Ningchi came back hungry, so she deliberately cleaned the burned-out candle bit by bit at the slowest speed, and then cut a piece for Mu Ningchi.

A very small piece.

Mu Ningchi was not annoyed. He stood up and took it, leaning back on the sofa. He took the plate and took a bite. Before he could taste the flavor, the kitten came over impatiently.

"Uncle Chi, is it delicious?"

He glanced down at Xu Nuonuo who was so close to him——

He has no idea how to hide his feelings and his intentions are so obvious, he's just short of having the words "Praise me now" written on his face.

Mu Ningchi laughed softly, "You did it?"

Xu Nuonuo nodded, "Well, Sister Mary said you like sweet food, so I put a little more sugar in it."

"I like sweet food, are you going to choke me to death?"

"Ah?" Xu Nuonuo's expression froze.

So it's... too sweet?

Mu Ningchi turned the fork that was about to enter his mouth and placed it at her lips.

"Try it yourself."

Xu Nuonuo drooped her head in annoyance, and obediently opened her mouth to hold the fork. The soft cake entered her mouth, and the cream was very fragrant and delicate...

He is lying to her!

Then look at Mu Ningchi who was eating happily, not forgetting to tease with the corner of his lips.

"You are so young and yet you are already sharing a fork with a man, Xu Nuonuo, you are really something!"

It starts again...

Xu Nuonuo rolled her eyes stealthily, stood up, cut a piece for herself, and sat at the table, eating it quietly.

She didn't know whether Mu Ningchi was in a good or bad mood. She was anxiously thinking about when would be the right time to negotiate terms with him, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

But Mu Ningchi obviously didn't intend to let her go. He was not satisfied after eating the cake and asked shamelessly.

"Xu Nuonuo, do you have a gift?"

"No!" Xu Nuonuo didn't even raise her head.

Actually, there was one, but she didn’t want to give it away!

Then Mu Ningchi hooked a six-pointed star bracelet woven with a black bracelet on his slender index finger and shook it in front of her eyes.

"Then what is this?"

Xu Nuonuo was startled and quickly bent down to look at the middle layer of the coffee table. Sure enough... the gift box was gone!

"It's not for you! Give it back to me!"

Xu Nuonuo reached out to grab it, but Mu Ningchi raised his right arm and dodged it flexibly. He grabbed Xu Nuonuo's wrist with his other hand and pulled her towards him.

Xu Nuonuo lost her balance and fell headfirst onto the corner of the sofa. She supported herself on Mu Ningchi's thigh and stood up. When she raised her eyes, she happened to meet Mu Ningchi's delicate eyebrows.

The man's fragrant breath was so elusive that Xu Nuonuo's pupils shrank suddenly and she wanted to step back in panic.

Mu Ningchi gently exerted force with his left hand that was pinching Xu Nuonuo's wrist, forcibly restraining her, forcing half of her body to rest on his chest, and his right hand wrapped around Xu Nuonuo's slender waist.

"Tell me, if you don't give it to me, who are you going to give it to?"

Xu Nuonuo: ——!
