Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 231
Chapter 231 Chu Yunshen Was Missing
The audience applauded rhythmically while shouting “the Persian cat is mighty.” The slogan was like a magic power that opened a secret door.
Among them, there was a man who clapped to command everyone to shout the slogan together while shouting “one, two, three.”
The person who shouted the slogan was none other than He Lulu, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s number one fan.
He Lulu wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity to cheer for the Persian cat. After he finished building up the momentum for the Persian cat, Gu Hunge would go up the stage again and ask for the big show. Everything was perfect.
There was a genuine smile on his face, no different from the excitement of the people around him, but the viciousness and coldness in his eagle eyes reminded the Hu people around him at all times that he was dangerous.
However, De Ertai, who was beside He Lulu, had been staring at the people around them, and the people did not dare to quietly avoid them or deliberately distance themselves from them.
This group of people tried to maintain their calmness on the surface, so they had to put their attention on the cat, who was on the stage, as much as possible, and the cheers were louder than before.
“Y-You really don’t have to…be so excited.”
“But this feels so good!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao was over the moon. Things had changed. She didn’t expect that she would be able to enjoy the feeling of being a star one day.
Needless to say, the feeling of being surrounded by fans was really good.
So, what about Chu Yunshen? Why wasn’t he here to see her being so popular? If he wasn’t here, who would she share her joy with?
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t care less about the cheers of the crowd. She turned her head to look around, trying to find the tall figure in that smoky blue dress on the stage.
The stage under the big banyan tree was not very big, and there were only a few people in total. After carefully looking around, she was sure that Chu Yunshen was not there.
Xiaowu had already gotten up from the bench. He was now standing next to Mu Bai and watching the cat walk around frantically.
Next to him and Mu Bai was a pile of shattered bricks, as well as some stone powder.
It seemed that the sound of the gongs and applause just now was to celebrate the success of Xiaowu’s performance. Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the nearest group of audience, and sure enough, she found the figure of Songtao among the audience at the furthest distance.
After collecting the money from the audience, Songtao trotted all the way to the crowded side. This time, Chu Yunshen’s subordinates were all gathered together.
Cheng Xiaoxiao also found that even Gu Hunge in the first row of the audience was looking at her with his small eyes. This way, she was even more sure that everyone was on the stage, except for Chu Yunshen.
Why was everyone here except for Chu Yunshen?
Did he have something urgent to tend to?
Why didn’t he take Xiaowu or the others with him?
Did he go alone?
Xiaowu said that Chu Yunshen was always protected by no less than five hidden guards. Moreover, Xiaowu never left Chu Yunshen’s side.
Perhaps, it was not an urgent matter, but Chu Yunshen was dealing with his private affairs…
What kind of private matter was it that Chu Yunshen had to hide from Xiaowu and her? Besides, he chose to leave at such a critical moment.
Cheng Xiaoxiao gradually calmed down from the joy and pride. As those happy factors gradually disappeared, only the irritability and uneasiness about Chu Yunshen’s departure remained.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was in a bad mood, walked around Xiaowu and the others. She did not look at them, but just walked around in circles.
This was “Pink Alley” that had everything—restaurants, brothels, and casinos!
“Uh… Leader has something to do, and he will be back soon.”
Knowing how deep the relationship was between Master and the cat, Xiaowu could understand the cat’s frustration after Master left without saying anything.
“He has something to do? Why are you stammering? Do you know something but you keep me in the dark?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks, stood there, and suddenly raised her head to glare at Xiaowu and the others.
Maybe her gaze was too fierce or the action of raising her head was too exaggerated. Xiaowu was so scared by her action that he shrunk and hid behind Mu Bai.
He was so sheepish! As expected, there was something fishy!
Although Xiaowu had already hidden behind Mu Bai, Cheng Xiaoxiao stared at Xiaowu with her sharp eyes, as if she wanted to see him through.
Xiaowu was jittery. Why didn’t the cat look at the others but him after Chu Yunshen left?
In fact, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t want to come for Xiaowu, but he said such misleading words, and he was acting as if something was off. Cheng Xiaoxiao had her reason to misunderstand him.
Cheng Xiaoxiao’s eyes were still locked on Xiaowu, and she even tried to walk around Mu Bai to Xiaowu’s side.
Unexpectedly, Gu Hunge jumped onto the stage at this moment to smooth things over. He politely bowed to the Persian cat and beamed, “Magic cat, are you not going to perform? We are all waiting for you!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao’s first reaction was to refuse Gu Hunge. Since Chu Yunshen was not here to control the situation, why should she continue with the performance? It was tiring and unpleasant.
In addition, she was so upset now that she did not have the mood to continue performing.
The Persian cat was dazed and did not respond. However, her cold glare did not scare Gu Hunge away. On the contrary, Gu Hunge was even more excited than before. He looked in the direction of the cat’s gaze and glanced at Xiaowu and the others. Then, he went to stand beside the cat.
“Magic cat, please don’t lower yourself to their level! You don’t have to do so!”
Gu Hunge looked at the men with a feigned smile and leaned close to the cat to whisper.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t like them. You can perform with me! I have also learned acrobatics. I can make you famous!”
Well said!
It was so tempting!
But what if I don’t want to be famous at all?
Damn fatty, get out of the way! Don’t touch me!
Cheng Xiaoxiao impatiently pulled herself away from Gu Hunge, distancing herself from him. She turned her head to glare at Gu Hunge before moving her gaze away.
It was not that Cheng Xiaoxiao did not want to make a move, but she disdained to.
She did not want to touch the disgusting Gu Hunge. Just looking at him made her feel nauseous, let alone hitting him. Cheng Xiaoxiao believed that she could scare Gu Hunge off with her glare.
Cheng Xiaoxiao did not make a move, but Xiaowu and the others couldn’t endure it.
According to his statement, Gu Hunge did not take Xiaowu and the men seriously and disregarded them completely.
“I’ve had enough of you today, do you know that?”
Xiaowu clenched his fist until it made a cracking sound. He walked out from behind Mu Bai and walked towards Gu Hunge step by step.
“Stop right there! Leader is… so are you going to cause trouble?” Mu Bai deliberately blurred the words in the middle of his sentence. As he spoke, he held Xiaowu’s arm tightly and refused to let go.
In fact, Gu Hunge did not care about what Mu Bai said nor how he said it.
Xiaowu and the others were wary of Gu Hunge, but they did not know that Gu Hunge knew where Chu Yunshen had gone. After all, he was the mastermind of this matter. Right now, Chu Yunshen was probably still playing hide-and-seek in Pink Alley.
Moreover, although Chu Yunshen left in a hurry, he left matter-of-factly. Other than retreating to the side to avoid him, most of the audience’s attention was on the performance.
However, those culprits were different. They always paid attention to the situation on Chu Yunshen’s side and his every move.
Gu Hunge was also watching from the side attentively. Only when Chu Yunshen, who was powerful enough to command the entire audience, left this place would they be able to wait for an opportunity to carry out the key part of their plan. And now, the plan was progressing steadily.
When he thought of his perfect plan being executed smoothly, Gu Hunge was so delightful that his chubby body trembled with joy, but he donned an ambiguous smile on his face.
“Brother Xiao Wu, what is the meaning of this? I’m just speaking up for the audience. You don’t want to cat to perform, but can’t we invite her over to perform with us? We paid you, but we haven’t seen enough!”
The crowd was always active in such a situation, and they were full of indignation as they protested to Xiaowu and the others.
Gu Hunge seemed to have been greatly encouraged, and he stood taller than before, making his protruding belly even more obvious.
Tingzhu, who was relatively calm, clenched the gong in his hand and gnashed his teeth. “Brother, please don’t put us in a difficult situation. The Persian cat belongs to us. How can we give her away?”
“Listen to yourself. You are still thinking about your circus at this moment. Why can’t you consider the opinion of the magic cat?”
Gu Hunge pretended to be sad and shook his head at Tingzhu. Then, he approached the Persian cat and smiled at it.
“Why are you looking at me? Don’t look at me!”
“I won’t perform even if you look at me. Just give up!”
The cat turned her face away in disgust and wanted to walk away from him, but she stopped after hearing Gu Hunge’s next remark.
“Magic cat, they didn’t treat you well. Why do you have to suffer needlessly like this?”
“Who told you that they didn’t treat me well?”
“Besides, this has nothing to do with you!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks and turned her head back to look at Gu Hunge. She wanted to spit at Gu Hunge.
“Are you trying to cast a bone between us? Do you really think that I am a stupid cat?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao was very dismayed by Gu Hunge’s actions. Gu Hunge’s ambiguous smile made her feel uneasy for no reason.
She clearly knew that Gu Hunge was deliberately stirring up troubles from the beginning, but at this moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little shaken.
Under Gu Hunge’s dubious gaze, she gradually had doubts.
On second thought, she felt a little sad. She knew that Xiaowu and the others had already been very good to her, but she was a little upset by their actions.
Chu Yunshen was not here, yet Xiaowu and the others were being vague about Chu Yunshen’s whereabouts. It was clear that they all knew where he went and intended to keep her in the dark.
Why couldn’t they tell her directly? She was worried about Chu Yunshen too, and they knew that she would be as worried as them.
Could it be that Xiaowu and the others really hadn’t completely treated her as their own?
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel a little depressed. When she thought about how Chu Yunshen had abandoned her, she felt even more annoyed.
“Damn Chu Yunshen, it’s all your fault!”
“You make me suffer, have doubts, and always overthink things!”
