Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 204
Chapter 204 What If I Failed to Catch You?
“What about the scent?”
Xiaowu hurriedly interjected. He wanted to verify his current thoughts right now, but at the same time, he wanted to hear a negative answer from the staff.
Xiaowu glared at the staff. The staff was so scared by Xiaowu’s completely different appearance that he stuttered.
“Of… of course, they are different…”
Xiaowu looked at the staff’s cracked lips and took a few steps back in disappointment.
In a daze, Xiaowu put the unknown cream on the counter and then turned to leave.
“Hey, Sir, you haven’t bought the cream!”
The staff had clearly seen Xiaowu’s bulging purse, so he did not want to let this rich customer off so easily.
“I don’t want to buy them. You can keep them and buy some for yourself!”
Xiaowu easily broke free from the staff’s grip on his sleeve, and his voice was much lower than before.
“I’m so unlucky today! What kind of weirdo is this!”
After he was pushed away, the staff rubbed his sore hands for a long time and spat in the direction where Xiaowu was walking further and further away.
“Waste my time for seeing the creams but not buying any of them! Freak!”
The staff hissed in a loud voice. He deliberately wanted Xiaowu to hear him.
However, Xiaowu turned a deaf ear to his voice and just walked forward without looking back.
Seeing Xiaowu’s figure almost disappear at the corner of the street, the staff cursed in a low voice.
“Why am I so unlucky these days? I kept bumping into weirdos.”
The staff thought of the burly and tanned man, who came to the store asking all kinds of questions but didn’t buy anything too.
The staff was indeed unlucky because he happened to stumble upon the disguised Xiaowu twice. If he had known that they were both the same man, he would have probably been so pissed that he would stand up and curse on the street.
On the other hand, Xiaowu had already made many detours and returned to the back door of Prince Jing’s Residence, but he just walked around the door and did not dare to push the door in.
The setting sun seemed to be hanging in the distant mountains with a golden edge, and even the sunlight that was thousands of feet long dyed half of the sky red.
In Chu Yunshen’s room, Cheng Xiaoxiao finally yawned and slowly opened her eyes. She smacked her lips and looked at everything in front of her in confusion, trying to sort out the chaos in her mind.
Cheng Xiaoxiao admired herself a lot nowadays. Now, she could fall asleep at any time as she pleased.
Last time, it was understandable because she was exhausted from crying and fell asleep. After all, she was tired, and her brain lacked oxygen after crying. But what was the situation today?
She was pretending to cry today. Was it because she needed to spend a lot of time and effort pretending to cry and so she was exhausted?
Alright, she could accept that fact for now…
Anyway, Cheng Xiaoxiao somehow felt that she wasn’t possessing a cat. Instead, she possessed the body of a sloth.
That’s right, the one that moved so slowly and slept all day.
Cheng Xiaoxiao shrugged and comforted herself, “Well, it doesn’t matter, as long as the feeder is feeding me well.”
What a sweet load!
As long as she thought of Chu Yunshen, she felt sweet and warm as if she had just drunk honey water. The sweetness spread from her mouth to her throat and heart. Her eyes almost shot out pink hearts.
But what about Chu Yunshen?
Only then did Cheng Xiaoxiao realize that she was lying in the big silk bed. The bedding had been changed into a brand new set, and even the quilt seemed to have a different texture.
It seemed that Chu Yunshen had changed everything from inside to outside. He was so clean and exquisite.
She rolled on the bed with satisfaction. The sweet fragrance on the bed was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced with the faint fragrance of grass and trees that she often smelled on Chu Yunshen.
It was unknown what kind of incense Chu Yunshen used. It was especially refreshing like the cool wind blowing from the windowsill in spring that gently brushed past the white curtains and stirred everyone’s heart.
It smelled so good.
It was so cozy!
“Meow!”
The cat rolled around on the bed and let out a comfortable cry.
“You’re awake?”
It was Chu Yunshen’s voice!
Hearing the familiar and elegant voice that sounded like a cello, the cat got up from the bed and pounced in the direction of the voice without looking.
Chu Yunshen quickly caught the cat that was still flying in the air.
At this time, the cat was only a few steps away from him, but it seemed that it was about to fall down, so Chu Yunshen grabbed the cat with his long hand, and the cat lay firmly in his arms.
“You’re so cheeky! What if I failed to catch you?”
Chu Yunshen reached out and touched the wet little nose of the cat. He seemed to feel that this punishment was not strong enough, so he stretched out his fingers and flicked the forehead of the cat.
“Oh, I know you can catch me. You’re so nimble and powerful, so of course, you can catch me. Why else am I so arrogant?”
“Even if you can’t catch me, I’ll just fall to the floor, but are you sure your heart won’t break seeing me fall?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yunshen pitifully in his arms with her big, watery eyes. However, she mischievously stuck out her small pink tongue, but soon the tongue retracted.
“That’s all you know!”
Chu Yunshen dotingly rubbed the fur on the cat’s head until it was messy before letting go. He then intimately pinched the cat’s soft little ears.
“What did I know?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao deliberately tilted her head to prevent Chu Yunshen from touching her, but her face leaned over and rubbed against Chu Yunshen’s fingers.
Chu Yunshen was getting more and more helpless with the cat. He had no choice but to allow the cat to rub her head against his fingers. His deep phoenix eyes were like a river of stars, so bright that people could not move their eyes.
It was the best move!
Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to lick Chu Yunshen’s finger again, but a rapid chirping sound interrupted the sweet interaction between the man and the cat.
Why were there always dimwitted people to disturb them!
The cat wanted to vent its anger at the sound, but it was soon shocked as if it had woken up from a dream.
The originally overly harmonious atmosphere also came to an abrupt end the second the cat froze. Chu Yunshen also withdrew his hand into his sleeves without a trace.
This little bastard. Why did he choose to chirp at this moment?
Cheng Xiaoxiao pretended to look around the room as if nothing had happened, but in fact, she was staring at the jade box in the birdcage.
Chu Yunshen had long known about these little tricks of the cat. He carried the cat back to the bed, and then gently put the cat back into the silk quilt.
“Do you want to sleep for a while longer or play by yourself?”
The cat cast a puzzled look at Chu Yunshen. She had yet to comprehend the meaning behind Chu Yunshen’s words.
“Ahem, I have to go out for a while, so you need to stay here.”
Chu Yunshen was actually a little flustered when faced with the cat’s sparkly eyes. He avoided the cat’s gaze and unnaturally held his fist to his lips and cleared his throat.
In fact, he knew that the cat did not want him to know about the jade box, so Chu Yunshen guessed that the cat must need time to be alone. However, he had never lied to the cat so bluntly before. He was a little frantic at this moment, for fear that the crafty cat in front of him could see through his lies.
“Well, I’ll be away for a while. Can you be by yourself?”
After saying that, Chu Yunshen no longer looked at the cat, but directly turned around and walked out of the room quickly.
He was the fearless Prince Jing, who was so powerful and almighty in the face of the enemies. But now, when he was facing such a tiny cat, he was so panicked that he needed to escape to solve the problem.
From Chu Yunshen’s back, Cheng Xiaoxiao could indeed see that he was fleeing.
What happened?
She was supposed to be the one who was flustered, but why was Chu Yunshen so worked up?
There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation!
Cheng Xiaoxiao stared at Chu Yunshen’s back suspiciously. Almost at the same time, Chu Yunshen felt that this gaze actually followed him even faster. In an instant, his long legs crossed the threshold of the inner room and he rushed to the door in a panic, leaving only a series of messy footsteps for the cat on the bed.
When Chu Yunshen’s dark blue clothes completely disappeared from the door, Cheng Xiaoxiao finally retracted her gaze.
She now had the illusion that her husband excused himself to work overtime in the office, but in fact, he was cheating on her. What should she do?
Not only that, but Cheng Xiaoxiao also had the urge to go over and investigate.
“Chirp! Chirp!”
In the birdcage, the little chick’s voice became even more impatient. It was precisely this bird cry that successfully turned Cheng Xiaoxiao’s attention from Chu Yunshen to the little chick.
Cheng Xiaoxiao had never been the kind of person who would do anything for a man. Now it seemed that the matter of verifying Chu Yunshen’s movement had to be taken slowly. At the moment, she should focus on accompanying the little cub.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that Chu Yunshen would not do anything recklessly. Although there was a precedent of Wan Xia, it was obvious that Chu Yunshen had been set up.
Besides, it had only been a few days, so Chu Yunshen wouldn’t dare to play any tricks at this time.
Therefore, Cheng Xiaoxiao was relieved and let Chu Yunshen be. Anyway, she would settle the score with him later.
“Meow!”
“I’m coming!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao responded loudly to the little nestling and jumped up from the bed to run toward the birdcage in the outer room.
Since the birdcage was moved to the outer room, it was really troublesome. Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t even hear the little baby’s cry clearly.
Speaking of which, Cheng Xiaoxiao was very puzzled. Since when did the birdcage start to be near the desk? It used to be next to the bed.
She was still recalling the issue of the bird cage’s “automatic migration”. The little nestling had already impatiently called out, as if it wanted to overturn the roof with its voice.
“All right, all right, you win! You’re the most important person right now!”
“Meow! Meow! Meow!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to use her energetic meows to quickly reply to the little chick. In her heart, she was still complaining about the little chick she raised. It had no ability and was so tiny and petite, but its voice could resound faraway.
Cheng Xiaoxiao accompanied the little chick who had been silent for many days, and they corresponded from time to time.
On the other hand, Xiaowu, who was at the back door of Prince Jing’s Residence, was enjoying the loneliness alone. His elongated figure under the setting sun looked particularly lonely.
Xiaowu was sitting on the steps behind the door, staring blankly at the sky. The burning clouds on the horizon made his face red. His ruby-colored eyes reflected the light of dusk, but it added a bit of sorrow to the bright and beautiful scene.
“Sigh…”
Xiaowu lost count of how many times he sighed today. He took the dim perfume box from his sleeve and carefully examined it.
