Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 226
Chapter 226 You Want Me to Perform? Dream On!
Tingzhu and Songtao were squinting in irritation too, but they suppressed their anger while clenching the gong and the porcelain jar respectively, waiting by Chu Yunshen’s side for his order.
As long as Chu Yunshen gave the order, Tingzhu and Songtao would go forward and catch Gu Hunge at any time.
Chu Yunshen was the calmest person in this group of people. He frowned slightly and comforted the Persian cat while sizing Gu Hunge up again with his dark and profound eyes. “Oh. So, what kind of performance do you want to watch, sir?”
Gu Hunge was not afraid of Chu Yunshen, an insignificant troupe leader. He could look at him for as long as he liked. There was nothing to lose anyway.
Gu Hunge stood there smugly while sticking out his round belly. Even after Chu Yunshen withdrew his gaze, Gu Hunge still looked smug like a thug.
“Well, no offense, but it’s really common for us to see the monkey show in our place, that’s all.”
Gu Hunge knew that he could not be too radical, or this group of martial arts experts would definitely be suspicious of him. He used a slightly calm tone and explained the reason to Chu Yunshen patiently. But soon, he changed the topic and finally got to the point.
“By the way, that Persian cat in your arms is quite special. Why don’t you let it perform instead?”
“Impudent!”
Xiaowu finally could not bear it and shouted at Gu Hunge.
Gu Hunge was shocked by Xiaowu’s threatening shout. He was stunned for a long time, and his body was covered in a cold sweat. However, before he could refute, someone rebuked Xiaowu.
“Xiao Wu, who do you think you are to interject before I speak?!”
Chu Yunshen’s stern voice came out from his thin lips. His voice was no longer as low and deep as before. Instead, he disguised his voice to be sonorous and crisp. He did not look back at Xiaowu. Instead, he apologized to Gu Hunge.
“I’m sorry. My men are not sensible. But this cat is my pet. It is not a part of the show.”
Chu Yunshen sounded very modest, and it wasn’t his style at all, but he apologized to an ordinary Hu for the sake of the overall situation. Probably only Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was in Chu Yunshen’s arms, could feel the indifference hidden in Chu Yunshen’s eyes at this time. After all, Chu Yunshen stroked her fur from time to time. Judging from his attitude, she could tell his indifference toward the man.
Fortunately, at this time, the Persian cat was much more docile than usual. She lay quietly in Chu Yunshen’s embrace, and she even secretly stretched out one of her paws and put it on the back of Chu Yunshen’s hand, trying to relieve Chu Yunshen’s boredom.
When dealing with this disgusting guy, Cheng Xiaoxiao would definitely be depressed to death if she were in Chu Yunshen’s shoes.
Chu Yunshen suddenly felt a soft touch on the back of his hand, which felt just like when he pinched the cat’s soft paw pads. Then, he came to his senses and realized that the cat was touching him.
Little thing… Thinking of the cat’s angry and anxious little appearance, Chu Yunshen calmed down a little, and his tightly pursed lips relaxed slightly.
Gu Hunge did not know about the little interaction between the cat and Chu Yunshen. He just pretended to not understand him and continued to pressure Chu Yunshen.
“What pet? I don’t want to know about that. Anyway, all members of the circus troupes in our country must perform.”
Gu Hunge deliberately added as if trying to make himself clear, “Even you, the leader of the troupe, must perform, let alone a mere pet cat.”
A mere pet cat?
Gu Hunge might not know that he was adding fuel to the fire by adding this statement. A slight ripple suddenly appeared in Chu Yunshen’s eyes, and he suddenly tensed his hand a little as he stroked the cat.
While enduring the pain, Cheng Xiaoxiao cursed the hateful Gu Hunge.
“If you like your country so much, go back! What are you doing here in Chu?”
“Since you are here, don’t always talk about your place. What’s so great about it? If your country is so great, why did you and your fellow Hu people leave your country to make a living in Chu?”
“From what I see, you must have embarrassed yourself in your own country, and now, you come to another country to humiliate yourself. You are a disgrace to the Hu people.”
“You want me to perform?! Dream on!”
“Do you think you have the privilege to see me perform? You won’t be able to see it even in your next life! Go to hell, ugly monster!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao madly ridiculed him, but her curses could not cause any substantial damage to Gu Hunge. Otherwise, she would definitely be able to instantly kill Gu Hunge a few hundred times.
With those words, Gu Hunge succeeded in irritating both Chu Yunshen and Cheng Xiaoxiao immediately, but some people in the crowd began to respond to Gu Hunge’s suggestion, and they agreed with him.
“He’s right! Well said!”
“We want to see the Persian cat’s performance!”
“Are you saying that your Chu’s cat is precious? Don’t claim yourself as a circus troupe then!”
…
As more and more voices echoed in the crowd, Chu Yunshen squinted slightly, feeling the turbulence inside him.
This was the little fellow that he usually doted on, and did these people expect to see her perform?
Who did these Hu people think they were?!
As long as he thought about how the cat was going to perform to the Hu like the little macaque, he frowned in dismay. The little thing had not received any training. What if she injured herself when she flipped through the ring of fire or somersaulted? At this point, Chu Yunshen’s expression gloomed even more, and he didn’t dare to think about it further.
His handsome brows furrowed slightly, and a fierce expression flashed across his face. He had a feeling that he wanted to immediately give up on the performance and return home.
“Relax. Calm down. I’m not angry yet. Why are you so pissed?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao imitated Chu Yunshen’s comforting gesture and gently patted the back of Chu Yunshen’s hand with her paw.
Chu Yunshen was still immersed in his emotions and did not respond. In the crowd, He Lulu and De Ertai saw everything clearly.
They did not expect that the Persian cat would comfort its Master! They were going to be rich!
He Lulu and De Ertai exchanged glances and smirked. Then, they quietly watched the situation and occasionally shouted a few words with the crowd.
In fact, more than half of the people in the crowd were He Lulu’s men, and the commotion was part of their plans.
As the voices in the crowd became louder and louder, the focus of the issue, Cheng Xiaoxiao, was the first to calm down.
There was no way out anyway. Why did she have to be so full of herself and refuse to comply with their request?
All she had to do was perform like the little macaque. Nothing would happen to her.
Moreover, according to the current situation, the crowd was generally very worked up. If Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t help Chu Yunshen, they would probably be unable to continue their performance in the future, and their effort to leave a good impression on the Hu merchants would be in vain.
But if Cheng Xiaoxiao was willing to help…
If she was willing…
As long as she went up to perform some random show and won the favor of the Hu, Chu Yunshen’s circus would have a foothold here. Then, when the Hu believed that they were really just an ordinary circus troupe, Chu Yunshen could break the ice and build a good relationship with the Hu merchants. By then, the Hu merchants would walk right into their traps.
Alright!
From the looks of it, she had no choice but to perform today, and it would have a good outcome if she did.
What was she waiting for then?
Cheng Xiaoxiao had made up her mind, and she felt a little uneasy in Chu Yunshen’s arms.
Chu Yunshen gradually regained his calm as the cat continuously patted his hand. Feeling the cat’s restlessness, Chu Yunshen thought that she was scared. When he wanted to calm her down, Gu Hunge urged again.
“Mr. Leader, have you thought it through? Everyone is looking forward to it!” Gu Hunge then turned his head and shouted at the crowd, “Everyone, don’t you agree?”
“Yes!”
Almost two-thirds of the people responded to Gu Hunge, and they all replied with certainty.
F*ck!
It was a pity that Gu Hunge did not become an actor!
He even instigated the crowd like this! He was good at this!
Cheng Xiaoxiao was shocked by Gu Hunge’s sudden interaction with the crowd as it was beyond her expectation. This guy acted as if he were a celebrity interacting with his fans in a concert.
Gu Hunge was forcing Chu Yunshen to agree to let her perform by instigating the crowd!
Never mind, it was not a big deal.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all. It was not a big issue for her to manage such a small commotion.
This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao was even more determined to help Chu Yunshen solve this problem.
She did not break free from Chu Yunshen’s arms in case he misunderstood her intention.
Chu Yunshen could have agreed to Gu Hunge’s suggestion immediately after such a thing happened, but he did not do so. He even wanted to take care of her emotions when Gu Hunge was pressing her step by step.
No matter what, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that she should have a good talk with Chu Yunshen, and then she would go up the stage and show off her abilities, intimidating the bastard a little.
She patted the back of Chu Yunshen’s hand again, trying to attract Chu Yunshen’s attention.
When Chu Yunshen lowered his head and looked at her seriously, she gently pushed away Chu Yunshen’s hand that was stroking her head. Then, she pointed to the ground with her paw, indicating that she wanted to go down.
Seeing the Persian cat’s series of actions, Chu Yunshen naturally understood what the cat wanted to do. He stared at the cat intensely, his eyes full of warning and disapproval. He tightened his arms around the cat again.
Cheng Xiaoxiao stared straight at Chu Yunshen with her emotional glance. For the last time, she comforted Chu Yunshen and patted him, hoping that Chu Yunshen would not worry.
“Meow.”
With a clear meow, the Persian cat broke free from Chu Yunshen’s embrace and jumped to the ground. Because he was afraid of hurting the cat, Chu Yunshen had no choice but to let the cat go.
What the hell!
She was just going to perform on stage, but why did he make it like they were parting forever? It was so emotional and awkward.
Cheng Xiaoxiao shook her head hard and threw all the tenderness in her eyes to the back of her mind.
