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

After finishing his meal at the main table, Shang Xuzhi retreated to a quiet corner of the banquet hall.

As Shang Xun walked in that direction, he secretly clenched his fist.

As the boy approached the man, he unconsciously straightened up, bowed slightly, and respectfully greeted him, "Second Uncle."

Shang Xuzhi murmured an "Mmm".

For some reason, she suddenly asked, "Would you like to see Uncle's kitten?"

Shang Xun was stunned.

He had long heard that his second uncle had an extremely cute kitten that he doted on like a daughter.

For a fleeting moment, he even felt a pang of jealousy for the little cat that got to enjoy his second uncle's care and tenderness.

However, he never expected that his second uncle would take the initiative to ask him if he wanted to see it.

The boy's eyes were filled with disbelief and anticipation. "Is it possible, Uncle!?"

Shang Xuzhi nodded. "Let's go."

Shang Xun took the wheelchair handle from Lin Yu and pushed Shang Xuzhi out.

"Second Uncle, did you bring the kitten?"

"Yes, I was worried about leaving her home alone, so I brought her along."

Shang Xun pushed his second uncle all the way, feeling very happy.

His second uncle still loves him the most!

Even Grandpa has never seen that legendary kitten!

But his second uncle offered to take him to see the kittens!

The two arrived at the door of Shang Xuzhi's bedroom.

Before opening the door, Shang Xuzhi turned to him and said, "Xiao Guai is a little timid, don't scare her."

Inquiry: ?

Before he could even grasp the meaning of his second uncle's words, the boy was immediately stunned by the scene inside the room and froze on the spot.

His second uncle is very particular about cleanliness and tidiness. Even the bedroom in the old house that is not used for many years is cleaned regularly to maintain its original cleanliness.

But this room in front of me... which looks like a cat paradise... is it really my second uncle's bedroom?

Not sure, check again.

Shangxun took a step back and looked at the door again.

The hanging heart finally died.

Shang Xuzhi had no idea what his silly nephew was doing going in and out of the door, but—

"Xiao Xun, close the door properly."

Whether you come in or go out, close the door properly.

Shang Xun didn't understand the meaning behind his second uncle's words, so he obediently went inside and closed the door.

in the bedroom.

Cat tree, cat bed, food bowl, water bowl, litter box... and a litter of small toys.

No wonder the business inquiry was shocked.

Who could believe that Shang Xuzhi could move his little darling over here in just half a day while attending a banquet at the old house?

My gaze swept across the room, but I didn't see the little soft dumpling I had been longing for.

The man's eyes were dark, his brows slightly furrowed, and his voice was soft: "Baby?"

The business inquiry behind him trembled uncontrollably.

Is it possible that my second uncle has really been possessed?

I'd heard he doted on kittens, but who knew he'd be this... disgusting.

Chu Yu heard the man's voice but didn't want to come out.

Her cat persona is that of a timid and shy little kitten!

Shang Xuzhi's searching gaze never stopped for a moment.

Suddenly, he noticed a small, slightly raised area on the bed.

He maneuvered the wheelchair to the bedside and gently lifted the corner of the blanket.

Isn't his beloved little darling right beside his pillow?

The little baby's round eyes were curiously looking behind him.

Not wanting her attention to be on someone else, the man scooped up the baby and pulled her back into his arms.

"You heard me call you, but you deliberately didn't come out, huh?"

Chu Yu silently flicked her tail.

Shang Xuzhi understood.

The little one is being a bit arrogant with him.

He gently stroked the soft fur on her back and coaxed her softly, "Alright, alright, you're such a little princess, can't I say a word to you?"

"Meow--"

Of course!

Completely ignored, Shang Xun watched his second uncle's intimate interaction with the kitten and timidly asked, "Second Uncle—may I pet the kitten?"

Shang Xuzhi ignored him and instead looked down at Chu Yu, asking, "Is it okay, baby?"

Inquiry: ? ? ?

How about I leave?

Chu Yu didn't want to be touched by a stranger, so she turned her head and burrowed into the man's arms.

Perhaps because her struggles were a bit too intense, Shang Xuzhi had never encountered such a strong reaction from her before, and he was so frightened that he turned to Shang Xun and hissed, "You go out first!"

Shang Xun also noticed the kitten's reaction and thought that his sudden appearance had startled her. Hearing the nervous tremor in his second uncle's voice, he didn't dare to delay and turned around to go out and close the door.

The bedroom was quiet again.

Shang Xuzhi gently coaxed Chu Yu, "It's alright, baby. It's okay now."

Chu Yu's entire head was nestled in the man's arms, with only her little bottom sticking out.

It looks just like an ostrich that only cares about its head and not its tail.

She didn't move, and the man patiently coaxed her gently, one stroke at a time.

After a while, the fluffy little head quietly peeked out.

She secretly raised her eyes and met the man's smiling, captivating gaze.

"Does the baby want to go home?"

"Meow~"

Not really, it's just that no one plays with me.

Chu Yu had been lying down for too long and even missed the busy life of being human.

There's no other reason than that contemporary young people are all about enduring hardship without effort.

Shang Xuzhi actually didn't like this chaotic environment either.

If possible, he would rather stay at home with Xiaobao without being disturbed by anyone.

"The birthday banquet is over. Shall we take the baby home now?"

The little baby didn't make a sound, her body was limp, and she gently rubbed her little head against his palm.

Shang Xuzhi keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Baby?"

I picked up Xiaobao and examined her closely. I noticed that she seemed listless and could barely open her eyes.

In that instant, Shang Xuzhi felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped, the pain making it hard to breathe.

After catching his breath, he forced himself to calm down.

He couldn't panic. Xiao Bao was sick and feeling unwell, so he had to stay calm and take her to the doctor as quickly as possible.

The man maneuvered his electric wheelchair around and headed towards the elevator, which led directly from his bedroom to his garage.

"Baby, don't be afraid. I'll take you to see a doctor right now."

He kept muttering to himself the whole way, it was hard to tell whether he was comforting the kitten or himself.

After receiving Shang Xuzhi's message, Lin Yu arrived at the car early and waited.

When Shang Xuzhi carried Chu Yu to the garage, he quickly opened the car door and pushed the wheelchair into the car.

As the head of a century-old clan, Shang Xuzhi has always been calm and composed.

Even Lin Yu, who had been by his side for many years, had never seen him so flustered and uneasy.

My understanding of this kitten has been refreshed once again.

Lin Yu boldly guessed that this was either a cat or a living person.

Wouldn't that drive his CEO crazy?

After getting into the car, Shang Xuzhi instructed in a deep voice, "Contact Dean Bai and ask him to come to the manor as soon as possible. Remember to have someone transport the things she brought from the old house back to the manor later; they are all things she likes."

Lin Yu was once again amazed by his boss's meticulous thinking.

Despite being completely concerned about the kitten's illness, she still made sure to instruct everyone to bring home all the things the kitten liked.

I glanced suspiciously at the kitten that the boss was holding tightly in his arms.

He was starting to have doubts about the little guy's species.

Is it a cat or a fox?
