Cheng Xiaoxiao adored being served by a gorgeous man like Chu Yunshen, but she did not like the idea of not being able to thoroughly enjoy the man.

Since she was unable to flirt with the stunning man, it wasn’t a bad idea to hug and kiss her girlfriend.

Chu Yunshen usually didn’t allow women to come close to him, but he unprecedentedly made an exception today.

This was simply strange!

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t care and had no time to think about it as she looked out the door earnestly.

Before long, a young woman dressed in a pink outfit and a white shawl walked in gracefully.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Wan Xia lowered her head slightly with the pearls on her earrings swaying gracefully making Cheng Xiaoxiao’s heart tingle.

Wan Xia was beautiful.

Cheng Xiaoxiao kept looking at Wan Xia as Wan Xia cast a furtive glance at her.

She almost wanted to burst out laughing when she saw the comical expression on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s face.

Chu Yunshen looked at Wan Xia’s beautiful face as he contemplated for a long time.

Perhaps he had been spending too much time with the lion cat lately, so he kept having strange dreams.

After all, he had never had a woman by his side. Maybe it was time to change?

“Your Highness?”

Wan Xia knelt where she was without standing up after greeting Chu Yunshen as he seemed preoccupied.

Xiaowu was afraid that things might seem awkward, so he cleared his throat and chatted with Wan Xia, “What happened to your hand?”

The moment Xiaowu mentioned this, Cheng Xiaoxiao noticed the wound on Wan Xia’s hand.

“I hate to say this…” Wan Xia pulled her well-bandaged right index finger under her sleeve as she smiled awkwardly and replied, “I wanted to make the cat some clothes last night but ended up hurt.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt so bad about it.

She was such a darling.

How could she be so careless?

She wanted to run over and rub Wan Xia, but she was incapable of moving and could only stare at her earnestly.

Wan Xia seemed a little shy. “But it’s okay. I am almost done with the outfit.”

Who cared about this stupid outfit?

Cheng Xiaoxiao only cared about her injury!

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt so moved.

Wan Xia was so nice to her!

Xiaowu was also deeply impressed.

Wan Xia was simply too kind-hearted. Even though her hand was hurt, she kept thinking about the lion cat’s garments.

“Rise.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao saw Chu Yunshen had finally snapped out of his daze and couldn’t help feeling begrudging.

How could he make her friend kneel for so long?

Couldn’t he be a little nicer to a girl?

Chu Yunshen asked Wan Xia profoundly, “How long have you been staying at the residence?”

Cheng Xiaoxiao and even Xiaowu felt speechless.

Sure enough, Chu Yunshen couldn’t be bothered at all when he was disinterested, so he didn’t even know how long Wan Xia had been living under his roof.

Wan Xia merely smiled with poise. She seemed to go into a dilemma before she came to a decision. She inhaled deeply and knelt as she replied to Chu Yunshen, “Your Highness, I have been here for a few months.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao did not know what Chu Yunshen was up to, but the moment she saw Wan Xia kneeling again, she wanted to curse.

Damn him!

Who the hell was he to make a pretty girl like Wan Xia kneel?

If Wan Xia didn’t proceed to leave Cheng Xiaoxiao in shock, she would have wriggled her way in front of Chu Yunshen and hissed at him.

“Your Highness… I was sent by Prince Qing just like my older sister, Wan Yun.”

The moment Wan Xia started to speak, Cheng Xiaoxiao and Xiaowu looked at her like she was joking.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at her in disbelief while Xiaowu was surprised by how candid she was.

Instead, Chu Yunshen remained expressionless as he continued with what he was doing and turned the page in his book.

“I have cut off ties with the outside world ever since I came to the residence. I only wish to serve you and hope you will accept me and give me a chance.”

Wan Xia gradually blushed as she spoke. She secretly raised her head and looked at Chu Yunshen swiftly before she knelt in front of him solemnly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao realized what Wan Xia was trying to say.

Wan Xia liked Chu Yunshen as well.

That won’t do.

Chu Yunshen was hers and hers alone.

Weren’t they going to get married?

No way. She had to have a heart-to-heart talk with Wan Xia about it tomorrow.

After all, they were friends, so they shouldn’t become enemies for the sake of a man.

Chu Yunshen felt slightly moved when he heard Wan Xia’s candor.

He had gotten Xiaowu to investigate Wan Xia previously and there was nothing unusual about her.

Wan Xia was a woman who sincerely treated the lion cat well, so he didn’t have to worry about where she came from.

Also, there was definitely something wrong with him since he kept having strange dreams.

Now that she had come clean, Chu Yunshen said, “For the next few days, take the lion cat over to your place.”

Was he sending Cheng Xiaoxiao away?

In that case, it was the perfect time for her to bond with Wan Xia and chat through the night.

Cheng Xiaoxiao and Chu Yunshen were wrapped in thought while Wan Xia acted as though she was given a great honor. She promptly stood up and carried the lion cat gently.

She carried the lion cat like it was her treasure as she happily thanked Chu Yunshen before heading back to her quarters.

She kept saying that she wasn’t sure whether the garment she made was a good fit and wanted the cat to try it on.

“Miss Wan Xia is simply extraordinary!”

Xiaowu liked Wan Xia’s personality as well since she was well-poised and had emotional intelligence.

Also, he felt that the lion cat was a big villain getting away with everything and couldn’t stand the sight of her.

Now that Chu Yunshen could regain his freedom, he looked at Wan Xia even more enthusiastically.

“She’s okay.”

Xiaowu felt even more delighted to hear Chu Yunshen’s comment.

From the looks of it, Chu Yunshen had a good impression of Wan Xia. In that case, she was going to become the first concubine Chu Yunshen had in the residence in no time.

That was great news.

After Wan Xia brought Cheng Xiaoxiao to her quarters, she could hear Xiao Yue shouting in shock, “Miss, why did you come back with the cat?”

Her voice was clearly dripping with contempt.

Cheng Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes angrily as she griped in her heart.

How could Xiao Yue look down on her? This stupid girl!

It wasn’t like she owed Xiao Yue money! Why did Xiao Yue have to give her such an attitude?

She was simply jealous at how close Wan Xia and she were! Now there was nothing Xiao Yue could do other than be jealous!

Cheng Xiaoxiao arched herself and buried her head into Wan Xia’s soft bosom and pointed her butt at Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue was so angry when Cheng Xiaoxiao blatantly ignored her that she stomped her feet. She placed her hands on her waist and wanted to argue with Cheng Xiaoxiao when the sound of porcelain ware breaking could suddenly be heard from the room.

“Oh no.”

Before Xiao Yue managed to bow to Wan Xia, she ran back into the room flustered.

The moment she entered, the sound of screaming and cursing came from the room accompanied by more sounds of things shattering.

What was going on?

Nothing of the sort happened the last time she came here.

Had something happened at Wan Xia’s place?

Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at Wan Xia, but Wan Xia remained completely composed.

She reached her hands out and patiently straightened Cheng Xiaoxiao’s mussed-up fur.

Wan Xia looked into the cat’s worried contrasting eyes and a bright smile suddenly bloomed on her face. Her smile was simply beautiful.

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid?”

Wan Xia sounded as though the lion cat was her lover. Even though she merely uttered words of concern, she sounded absolutely charming.

Wan Xia was from the South, so her gentle personality and soft words promptly made Cheng Xiaoxiao feel immersed in tenderness.

This friend of hers was such a wonderful girl!

Why did she fall for a block of ice like Chu Yunshen?

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t have a choice about being with him.

Since they did everything together, it did not seem appropriate for her to shirk responsibility.

Cheng Xiaoxiao started to imagine things. Wan Xia held the cat in front of her and rubbed Cheng Xiaoxiao with her forehead.

“I know you understand what I’m saying. Can I tell you a secret?”

A secret?

It was a must for girlfriends to share secrets.

She loved it!

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt exhilarated as she looked at Wan Xia earnestly and urged her to speak up.

Her red and brown contrasting eyes seemed instantly filled with stars and even glowed a little from this side.

“To tell the truth, I don’t like His Highness… I was lying about it.”

What the?

She did not like the prince.

Hmm?

Did she not fancy His Highness?

Did she not like Chu Yunshen?

Cheng Xiaoxiao only expected something random, but she suddenly looked at Wan Xia in shock when she realized what she said.

She could understand why Wan Xia didn’t like Chu Yunshen.

“Why are you in a daze?”

Wan Xia saw the lion cat sitting in her arms dumbstruck and couldn’t help laughing melodiously.

Wan Xia reached her hands out to squeeze the cat’s chubby face. She felt even more tickled seeing the cat’s distorted face.

“It’s true. I don’t like His Highness at all.”

Wan Xia’s eyes were smiley. She had lovely misty eyes and her dimples could be seen.

The twilight struggled to stay up and a few rays of light crept into the room through the half-open window.

The sunlight scattered on Wan Xia and made her stunning face slightly more mesmerizing. She gave off a somewhat seductive aura.

Wan Xia stopped smiling when she saw the lion cat staring at her.

She made Cheng Xiaoxiao a solemn promise.

“Don’t worry. I won’t try to steal His Highness from you.”

Did Wan Xia know she liked Chu Yunshen?

Had Wan Xia merely assumed she was just a cat who felt possessive about her caretaker?

Cheng Xiaoxiao contemplated for a long time and felt concerned that she might have behaved too blatantly in the past.

Wan Xia frowned slightly as she said softly, “How could any woman fall for a guy she has barely met?”

Wan Xia could detect Cheng Xiaoxiao’s worries and carried Cheng Xiaoxiao in her arms.

“Don’t worry. I simply wanted to get His Highness to let his guard down so that we could hang out. After all, he doesn’t know that we are already friends.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao recalled how she first encountered Wan Xia. This stunning woman had saved her and brought her home the first time they met.

Uh huh.

How could a woman like her resist an adorable cat?

In hindsight, she had known Wan Xia for a long time.

Wan Xia adored Cheng Xiaoxiao but didn’t dare to tell Chu Yunshen directly, so she lied about liking Chu Yunshen.

Cheng Xiaoxiao could certainly empathize.
