Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Alright, I’ll Help You

Cheng Xiaoxiao had just returned Xiaowu’s favor. As for the request that Xiaowu made now, she was not interested at all.

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that it was an insult to her intelligence if she went out with a person with a low IQ like Xiaowu.

Moreover, she heard that stupidity was contagious. What if she became as stupid as Xiaowu was after spending a long time with Xiaowu?

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t want to end up becoming like Xiaowu, so she refused his request.

In fact, she didn’t want to help Xiaowu mainly because she had a problem with him.

Chu Yunshen assigned the task to him, and he had the nerve to slack off and get her to take part in his task. He was not a child anymore. Why would he need her company to investigate the case? Wasn’t he ashamed of himself?

The cat wanted to continue putting on the indifferent look, but on second thought, it was better to end this quickly, so the cat shook its head at Xiaowu reservedly.

Albeit the cat’s rejection, Xiaowu was not disappointed. On the contrary, he was even more enthusiastic than before and began to chatter with the cat.

“Please, just help me this once! Please go to the cosmetic shop with me to smell those creams. You’re so smart and brilliant, you will definitely be able to tell the difference between those creams.”

Pfft!

What a lackey!

“You just said that you didn’t believe me! And now you tried to flatter me.”

“It’s too late! It’s useless!”

She would be fine if Xiaowu didn’t say this, but the flattery provoked Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Xiaowu’s condemnation filled Cheng Xiaoxiao’s mind at this moment. Had Chu Yunshen not interrupted him, he would have dared to say anything.

The cat directly hissed at Xiaowu. Xiaowu looked confused because he didn’t understand why the cat suddenly lost its temper.

Wasn’t it still fine just now?

Although it didn’t agree, at least it turned its attention to him when it refused.

Moreover, Xiaowu thought that his flattery was so flawless that the cat should be over the moon after hearing it.

Normally, when Chu Yunshen praised the cat by saying that it was intelligent, the cat would be over the moon. Xiaowu thought that his compliment was equally flawless, but why did it have the opposite effect this time?

Xiaowu braced himself and continued to praise the cat, using words that even embarrassed him. He was certain that his compliment could calm the cat down this time.

The cat was not angry. She directly stood up, stretched, and left.

Cheng Xiaoxiao figured that Xiaowu had gone crazy. She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she would be influenced by him and become dumb.

As for Xiaowu’s flattery, Cheng Xiaoxiao decided to turn a deaf ear as she was too irritated to enjoy it.

Not only did she not feel moved at all, but she also found him to be a nuisance.

“Don’t leave! I’ll stop praising you, okay?”

Both the hard way and the gentle way didn’t work. Xiaowu was frantic as he watched the cat leave. He felt as if he was standing on the verge of a cliff.

With a sneer, The cat walked into the inner room, leaving Xiaowu alone.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry for degrading you! Please, if you help me find the cream, I won’t say anything bad about you ever again, okay?”

“Who cares?”

“Chu Yunshen will punish you if you dare to degrade me again.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao scoffed with disdain in her heart, replying to Xiaowu’s every sentence in time.

Unfortunately, it was a pity that Xiaowu couldn’t hear her.

Xiaowu hurriedly shouted from behind the cat.

“I don’t mind if you don’t want to help me, but think about Master! Right?”

What did this have to do with Chu Yunshen?

Cheng Xiaoxiao did not quite understand the meaning of Xiaowu’s words. Her first reaction was that Xiaowu was simply trying to make her stay, but when she thought of Chu Yunshen, she stopped.

As the cat did not continue to move forward, Xiaowu quickly chased after it and stopped in front of the cat.

“The matter of the hand cream is very serious, and Master will be implicated the most. If we can’t find any clues, the real culprit will always be at large.”

This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao took Xiaowu’s words seriously. After all, she cared because it was related to Chu Yunshen’s safety.

Xiaowu’s words did make sense. If they could not find out the origin of the cream, there would be no way to find the real mastermind behind this, which also meant that Chu Yunshen would always be in danger. In fact, they didn’t know when and how Chu Yunshen would be attacked by whoever it was.

It could be a maid, a minister of the imperial court, or someone else would use her to do something next time?

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought of how the person from Wu had poisoned her to attack Chu Yunshen at the beginning. Every time she thought of this, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt her claws hurt. Of course, she was more worried that Chu Yunshen would be hurt again.

The cat’s eyes darkened as it gestured at Xiaowu.

“Meow…”

“I’ll help you, but you can’t tell Chu Yunshen. I don’t want Chu Yunshen to worry about me. Moreover, he doesn’t like me going out.”

“Also, I’m helping Chu Yunshen. I’m doing this for him. It has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?”

The cat muttered a bunch of things, nodding and shaking its head.

Xiaowu’s comprehension ability was not even half as good as Chu Yunshen, who had been living with the cat day and night. The cat cried and gesticulated for a long time, but Xiaowu could not guess a word right.

Then, Xiaowu squatted on the ground and stared at the cat in a daze. He guessed again with a dry mouth.

“You’ll help me with some conditions?”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was exhausted from all the instructions. Moreover, she had to start all over again since Xiaowu had repeatedly guessed wrongly, so she sat on the ground and answered him by nodding and shaking her head mechanically.

Suddenly hearing Xiaowu’s question, Cheng Xiaoxiao habitually wanted to shake her head, but… conditions?

This sounded a little interesting. It seemed to be a good idea, right?

Why didn’t she think of this!

Just now, she had foolishly listened to Xiaowu and immediately agreed. Fortunately, the simple-minded fool didn’t notice her gesture.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was secretly delighted in her heart. Shaking her head at first, she quickly changed it into heavy nods.

“Then tell me, what is your request?” Xiaowu did not refuse. Instead, he waved his big hand very readily. “Feel free to mention it, as long as I can do it.”

Feel free to mention it?

He sounded so pompous and confident.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was amused by Xiaowu’s arrogant appearance.

Young men were so gullible. They hadn’t experienced much in the world yet.

If Cheng Xiaoxiao were to transform into a human, she would definitely have extorted all of Xiaowu’s money until he was broke.

Unfortunately, Cheng Xiaoxiao could not eat so much in front of Xiaowu, and she could not let Xiaowu find out that she could become a human.

“You’re lucky, young man! I’ll use my cat body to get a meal from you!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao truly felt that she had suffered a loss, but even if she did, she still had to eat something sumptuous!

It was better than nothing!

The cat crouched on the ground, one of its front paws turning over to support her chubby chin, and putting the other front paw close to its mouth, constantly scratching the air.

Xiaowu was once again amazed by the cat’s actions and felt a sense of admiration. He did not expect the cat to have this extraordinary learning ability.

“Where did you learn all this from?”

Xiaowu’s genuine and sincere compliment earned him a coquettish look from the cat. However, it scared Xiaowu so much that he almost fell to the ground. Cheng Xiaoxiao was so amused by the scene that she laughed out loud.

What was all this? It was not a big deal.

If Xiaowu found out what Cheng Xiaoxiao knew, he would be so shocked that he wouldn’t be able to get up.

Xiaowu finally managed to stabilize himself and maintain his best image in front of the cat. “Sure! You wanna eat something. No problem! We’ll have a feast when we’re done!”

“When we’re done?! What if you break your promise?!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao shook her head in disagreement, indicating her reluctance.

“So… you want to eat first before going?” Xiaowu asked hesitantly, but he quickly rejected his words. “This won’t do. The matter of cream is more important…”

Originally, after hearing Xiaowu’s first sentence, Cheng Xiaoxiao happily nodded her head, but after Xiaowu said the remark “This won’t do”, she frowned in great dismay.

Cheng Xiaoxiao waved her claws at Xiaowu as a sign of a threat. Then, she got up from the ground, turned her head, and wanted to walk away.

Under the powerful pressure, Xiaowu spoke more and more softly, and eventually, he became silent.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked up at Xiaowu from the corner of her eyes. First, she pointed at Xiaowu with one claw, then pointed at herself with that claw, and then she made the same gesture like she was eating.

After making these gestures, the cat looked at Xiaowu with certainty and did not make any more movements.

Under the strong gaze of the cat, Xiaowu felt helpless and sheepish. Eventually, he could only look away and nod with a dejected expression.

“Tomorrow morning, Master will go to the government court to make a report about Miss Wan Xia’s case. I will pick you up at that time.”

The cat tilted its head and continued to look at Xiaowu without any other response. Xiaowu quickly added, “When the time comes, we’ll eat first before going to the cosmetic shop.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao revealed a gratified smile, but she hid the smile under her fur. Xiaowu couldn’t see it clearly, or he would definitely be scared to death.

With a face full of expectation, Xiaowu was still waiting for the cat to reply. Seeing the cat finally nod with satisfaction, he finally heaved the breath that had been suffocating him.

“Well… It’s settled. See you tomorrow morning.”

After saying that, Xiaowu got up and left the room without any reluctance. Before leaving, he closed the door politely and returned to his previous appearance.

After Xiaowu left, Cheng Xiaoxiao went to the birdcage and carefully looked at the little chick in the birdcage.

What was going on?

Why did the little chick stop moving?

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought that the little chick imitated her to keep silent since she deliberately did not speak because Xiaowu came.

However, according to the little chick’s character, it definitely couldn’t resist chatting with Cheng Xiaoxiao after being silent for a short while.

Just now, when Xiaowu was here, Cheng Xiaoxiao was still thinking about this matter, but she didn’t expect that the little chick didn’t say a word until now.

“Meow?”

Kiddo?

Cheng Xiaoxiao called out to Auspicious Bird Jade Box, then held her breath as she hurried over to listen, afraid that she would miss any movement.

“Chirp, chirp!”

Fortunately, the little chick soon responded, but the sound was very distant, as if it were separated by some sealed tempered glass.

Nonetheless, Cheng Xiaoxiao was relieved after hearing the little chick’s voice.
