So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Short-legged cats require much less exercise than regular cats.

Chu Yu had only run a little over two laps when she lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily.

Shang Xuzhi glanced at her briefly and couldn't help but chuckle.

The meeting continued until late into the night.

The little night owl finally succumbed to sleepiness and nestled in the man's arms to fall asleep.

Shang Xuzhi was already used to this kind of schedule.

The Shang family's businesses span the globe, and he often needs to hold meetings with overseas managers late at night to discuss matters.

But ever since the little baby came to our home, the long and boring nights have become much gentler and more lovely.

With her by his side, he even began to have expectations.

I look forward to spending more time with her, and to every unknown tomorrow.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The target's world-weariness level has decreased to 80%. Please keep up the good work!]

Chu Yu, still asleep, didn't hear the good news and continued sleeping, whimpering and rolling over on her stomach.

Shang Xuzhi looked at the little baby in his arms, who was facing him with his belly exposed and completely unguarded. The soft, white fur was particularly alluring.

He couldn't resist and reached out to rub it.

So soft and cute.

Give it a few more rubs.

It's so addictive, I want more.

As a result, the kitten, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by being petted.

She lay on his lap, glaring at him angrily, her eyes filled with resentment and grievance.

The man curved his lips into a smile, a soft chuckle escaping his throat.

The deep, pleasant voice sounded especially gentle in the dead of night, "It's my fault, baby, keep sleeping."

Shang Xuzhi rarely goes back to the Shang family's old residence.

Aside from the Lunar New Year and Mr. Shang's birthday.

Old Master Shang always preferred to keep a low profile when celebrating his birthday, but given his status and position, there were always many people coming to pay their respects and offer their blessings at his birthday banquet.

Shang Xuzhi was worried that Xiao Guai would be frightened by the crowds, so he originally wanted to leave her at the manor to be looked after.

As it turned out, the little one seemed to have guessed his thoughts, stretching out her little face and rubbing and pressing against his cheeks, endlessly acting cute.

Chu Yu: I was clearly marking him!

Shang Xuzhi was at his wits' end with his little one, so he had no choice but to agree to take her to the birthday banquet.

This was the little one's first time traveling by car. Although it wasn't a long journey, it was enough to make Mr. Shang very worried.

Not only did I bring her cat carrier, airline-issue cat, and leash, but also, fearing she wouldn't be comfortable in an unfamiliar environment, I packed up all her favorite toys and scratching posts to take with me to the old house.

Even Butler Chen was affected and became extremely nervous.

Only the cat involved didn't care at all, continuing to eat and sleep as usual.

My life goal: To bring peace and tranquility to everyone!

The understated black Cullinan slowly drove into the Shang family mansion and came to a steady stop in the private garage.

The back seat inside the car.

Shang Xuzhi was dressed in a sharp suit, with Chu Yu sleeping soundly in his arms.

"Sir, we are here."

I originally planned to bring Butler Chen along so he could help take care of the baby.

Two days ago, Butler Chen accidentally strained his back.

Shang Xuzhi couldn't bear to let the old lady go through any more trouble, so he asked his assistant Lin Yu to come to his home a few days in advance to learn how to take care of Chu Yu.

In fact, Chu Yu is usually very well-behaved. As long as you take good care of her, she can play, eat, drink, and sleep by herself.

However, Shang Xuzhi, in his role as an old father, was worried about everything.

He was afraid that the world would mistreat his little darling behind his back.

The rear door opens.

With Lin Yu's help, Shang Xuzhi got off the bus.

He has to attend a birthday banquet soon, so it won't be convenient for him to hold Chu Yu.

Lin Yu was about to reach out and pick up the kitten.

But Shang Xuzhi avoided it.

Lin Yu: ?

With a stern face, Shang Xuzhi ordered in a low voice, "Go to the trunk and get the cat carrier."

He subconsciously didn't want anyone else to touch his little baby, especially men.

Lin Yu could never have guessed that his boss had such an outrageous idea.

He thought the boss was worried that he would be scratched by the kitten, and he was immediately moved and his passion to work for the boss reached its peak.

As Shang Xuzhi put Chu Yu into the cat carrier, he was still coaxing her softly: "Baby, be good. I'll come and play with you as soon as I'm done with my work. I promise."

Chu Yu nuzzled the man's warm palm with her little head.

I know!

I'll wait patiently for you to come back!

Shang Xuzhi, however, thought she was just being coquettish and didn't want him to leave.

A hint of reluctance flashed in his dark eyes.

He pulled the baby back into his arms and kissed him. "Be a good boy, baby, okay?"

Chu Yu raised her short little paw and gently touched the man's cheek.

The soft little paw pads felt wonderful to the touch, and Shang Xuzhi couldn't resist moving his face closer to touch the little paws.

Lin Yu, who was standing next to him, was already dumbfounded.

Mr. Shang... he really is too comprehensive.

-

At the birthday banquet.

Shang Xuzhi regained his usual calm and refined demeanor, and countless people came forward to greet him.

He showed no impatience whatsoever and was gentle and friendly to everyone.

Only those who know him well know that it was just his upbringing.

He respects everyone, but he doesn't care about them.

In public, she always presents an image of dignified elegance and natural nobility.

In reality, he was so indifferent that he didn't even care about his own life.

This is the true essence of business negotiation.

Old Master Shang knew his youngest son best.

The calmer and gentler Shang Xuzhi was, the more heartbroken he became.

He has already lost his eldest son and daughter-in-law. Now he only hopes that Shang Xuzhi and Shang Xun can get over their grief as soon as possible and live well for themselves from now on.

He was already nearing the end of his life, and it was unknown how much longer he could stay with his uncle and nephew.

Shang Xun was already old enough to understand things, and he stayed by Grandpa Shang's side from beginning to end, supporting him and taking care of him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to be close to his second uncle.

When he was young, he admired his god-like second uncle the most.

He seems to be able to do anything with ease.

But then something went wrong.

His second uncle's eyes were always filled with guilt and sorrow whenever he looked at him.

He didn't want to see his omnipotent second uncle with that kind of expression.

He clearly did nothing wrong.

Shang Xuzhi naturally noticed the gazes his little nephew had cast at him multiple times.

He used to not know how to face it.

It seems that since the little baby came to our home, it has subtly changed many of his thoughts.

He began to pay attention to the feelings and emotions of the people around him.

They will also try to proactively express their care and concern.

Thinking of his precious little dumpling, a tenderness appeared in the man's eyes.

In a casual glance up, I met my nephew's surprised expression.

Shang Xuzhi slightly curved his eyebrows and raised his hand to beckon to Shang Xun.

Shang Xun thought he was hallucinating.

Was my second uncle smiling at him just now?

It looked like it was waving at him... inviting him over?

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old lad was so happy that he forgot to control his expression and walked towards his second uncle with a silly grin.

Those around him noticed that the boy, who had just been so dignified and well-behaved, suddenly seemed possessed, and their expressions became somewhat subtle.

Grandpa Shang gave the silly boy a look of exasperation.

He chuckled dryly and explained, "This kid has idolized his second uncle since he was little! Whenever his second uncle calls him, he gets so happy that he doesn't even care about this old man!"

Others could only agree, praising the harmonious relationship between the uncle and nephew.
