Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 256
Chapter 256 She’s the Queen
Maybe this was her true love?
Cheng Xiaoxiao’s gaze directly drifted to braised beef beside her, her mind full of thoughts of the tasty and elastic beef.
It was only when the Persian cat’s snow-white figure appeared in front of Chu Yunshen that Chu Yunshen came to his senses.
His whole body trembled, and his palm, which was originally spread out, was suddenly clenched.
“Hey… Don’t eat it!”
Chu Yunshen had just stuffed the handkerchief back into his sleeve when he saw that the Persian cat was already touching the oilpaper with her claws.
Cheng Xiaoxiao had already moved her nose closer to smell the beef again and again and involuntarily licked it several times.
However, she kept reminding herself that she was only smelling it and not going to eat it.
When she got closer and closer to the braised beef, she slowly changed her mind and reminded herself that she would just lick it without eating it.
It smelled so nice!
Cheng Xiaoxiao was really good at controlling herself because she was only licking it, although her tongue stuck on the small piece of beef for a long time.
Before her rationality collapsed, Chu Yunshen’s abrupt voice pulled her back to her senses.
The Persian cat was so scared that her body quivered, and she quickly retracted her tongue that had been secretly sticking out.
What the hell!
People could also scare people to death, okay?
After being caught red-handed, Cheng Xiaoxiao glared at Chu Yunshen guiltily. She wouldn’t admit defeat just like that!
Actually, it wasn’t that Chu Yunshen didn’t want to let the cat eat it, but the pack of braised beef that the cat had licked was exactly what he had just…
Anyway, he couldn’t let her eat it.
Chu Yunshen moved the opened pack of braised beef to his side without hesitation. Then, he opened a new pack of beef and placed it in front of the cat.
“Eat this.”
This one was obviously not as tempting as the previous one, because it was boiled beef, which was the kind of bland beef that was seasoning-free.
Who could eat this!
Didn’t he buy braised beef for her? How could he change his mind so quickly?
Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little angry. She had a feeling that she had been deceived.
She was so pissed! If he had told her that it was boiled beef at the beginning, she would definitely have eaten it.
She wouldn’t even have minded had he told her that he didn’t buy it.
However, since he had mentioned braised beef, she must eat braised beef! How could he change his mind and give her boiled beef instead?!
Cheng Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and came up with a plan.
The Persian cat pretended to walk to the pack of boiled beef quietly, but before Chu Yunshen could react, she rushed to the pack of braised beef with lightning speed, quickly bit two pieces of braised beef, and jumped off the table to hide under the bed.
When Chu Yunshen chased after her and wanted to carry her out of the bed, the Persian cat had already devoured the two pieces of braised beef.
“Hey!”
Chu Yunshen helplessly pointed at the Persian cat and was rendered speechless. If Cheng Xiaoxiao could take a closer look, she would definitely find that the current Chu Yunshen was more embarrassed than helpless.
He did not expect that the cat would play a little trick on him, although it was in line with her style when he thought about it carefully.
The more he restrained her, the more she would go up against him.
If Cheng Xiaoxiao had known that Chu Yunshen already knew her so well, she would definitely have given Chu Yunshen a big thumbs up.
To be honest, Cheng Xiaoxiao admitted that this point was what made her look more like a cat. She was easy to persuade, but he had to please her. If he went up against her, the deal was off the table.
Moreover, Chu Yunshen always liked to keep everything to himself and wanted Cheng Xiaoxiao to just listen to and follow his arrangements.
Cheng Xiaoxiao hated being treated like this most!
She was the queen! She was an independent woman of the civilized society!
At this moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao started to notice that something was wrong with her body again. Why did her body suddenly heat up?
Was she intoxicated by the braised beef?
Cheng Xiaoxiao would never have guessed that she was drugged by Datura powder again. Moreover, Chu Yunshen personally laced the braised beef with the powder, and she voluntarily ate it.
Cheng Xiaoxiao must have struck the unlucky jackpot because she took the drug on her own every time she was drugged. If she knew the real reason, she would definitely burst into tears.
Chu Yunshen did not expect that the situation would develop to this point. He was only in a daze for a split second, and he accidentally shook the remnants of the Datura powder in the handkerchief into the braised beef.
Because of this, he didn’t want the cat to consume it. After all, the drug was harmful to the body. However, Chu Yunshen hesitated when he thought about Cheng Xiaoxiao’s mysterious origin.
Chu Yunshen would never have expected that he would be troubled by this kind of thing one day, and that he, the dignified Fourth Prince of Chu Country, would actually drug a cat.
This kind of despicable method was what Chu Yunshen hated most, whether in the past or now.
The Persian cat staggered as she walked. She ran toward Chu Yunshen like a drunkard. However, the moment the cat came out of the bed, a blue light flashed in front of Chu Yunshen again.
When the familiar blue light disappeared, the Persian cat disappeared again and once again, there was the blue-clothed woman with big eyes.
“Chu Yunshen, why do I feel drunk and dizzy after eating the braised beef?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao reached out and patted her head hard, disregarding the fact that she might knock herself unconscious.
“Sit down and rest for a while.”
A hint of guilt flashed in Chu Yunshen’s eyes. Seeing Cheng Xiaoxiao’s unstable posture, he wanted to go forward and hold Cheng Xiaoxiao’s arm, but his arm froze in the air just a little bit after he extended it out.
He was worried that if he reached out to help her, she would crawl into his arms again, curling her arms around his waist and rubbing her head against his chest.
After all, he needed to have a serious talk with her. If they went back to how they were last night, Chu Yunshen was worried that he would not be able to get the answer he wanted.
“Sit down first. Do you want a glass of water?” Chu Yunshen retracted his arms and hid his hands in his sleeves. In order to prevent himself from unconsciously supporting Cheng Xiaoxiao, Chu Yunshen deliberately placed his hands behind his back.
“Yes! I’m thirsty.”
Cheng Xiaoxiao seemed to be in a better state than the last time, but not much better.
This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao could clearly answer Chu Yunshen in a smooth manner from the beginning, but she was still muddle-headed, and she could only answer the question truthfully.
Was it because she didn’t suck much of the Datura powder the last time?
Or was it because her body absorbed the power faster this time because she directly consumed it?
Anyway, she soon turned into a human form again, and the other symptoms were exactly the same as before. Now, she squinted her eyes and felt hot all over, wanting to take off her clothes.
Therefore, when Cheng Xiaoxiao heard Chu Yunshen’s words, she felt as if she was drenched by the rain after staying in a long drought.
Cheng Xiaoxiao rubbed her cheeks with her hands and tried to open her eyes to see the way. However, she had no intention of stopping. Even though she was in a trance, she stubbornly moved forward step by step.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was not determined, but she was confused. At this moment, she had nothing in mind except the fact that she wanted to go to the table and sit down to drink water.
The muddle-headed Cheng Xiaoxiao looked like she had not woken up. Along the way, she had knocked over a flower pot and two chairs. She was about to knock over the candlestick next to the vase when Chu Yunshen couldn’t stand it anymore and reached out to hold the candlestick that was about to fall on Cheng Xiaoxiao.
The edge of the candlestick was sharp. If Chu Yunshen hadn’t been following behind Cheng Xiaoxiao all the time and protecting her now, the sharp edge would have scratched her delicate little face.
But before Chu Yunshen put the candlestick away, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s cry came from the other side of the table.
“Ouch… It hurts!”
Chu Yunshen hurriedly put the candlestick away. He walked straight to Cheng Xiaoxiao, disregarding the fallen chairs.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were half-open, sat on the ground again. She leaned against the table leg and covered her forehead with both hands. She was crying in a daze. While crying, she kept whining.
“It hurts so much! It hurts so much! Chu Yunshen, am I going to die? Bah…”
The only one who could be so blunt and call Chu Yunshen by his name was Cheng Xiaoxiao. However, Chu Yunshen had no time to care about this lack of respect for him. He didn’t care about it last night, and neither did he today.
Cheng Xiaoxiao’s cry was exactly the same as last night. Chu Yunshen had only bent down and looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao.
As Cheng Xiaoxiao’s voice grew louder and louder, it seemed like her voice was going to break through the roof. Chu Yunshen had no choice but to squat down, reach out his hand to cover the back of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s hand, and help her massage her forehead.
“Did you knock into something?”
Chu Yunshen sighed helplessly, but his tone was soft and gentle.
Cheng Xiaoxiao pulled her hand out of Chu Yunshen’s palm and got up from the foot of the table. She pointed to the corner of the table above her head and then pointed to her red and swollen forehead. “I hit the table. It hurts.”
“Bang! Then I… Bah!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao deliberately leaned over to demonstrate to Chu Yunshen again, but before she could finish speaking, she cried again.
Her pitiful appearance was just like Chu Hongyi who followed Chu Yunshen around when he was a child. At that time, Chu Hongyi was only four years old, and he would cry before he could finish speaking.
Realizing that this woman in front of him was like a child at this time, Chu Yunshen, who was already frowning, was even more worried.
He did not speak, so Cheng Xiaoxiao recounted the process of her injury over and over again. Every time she said it, she had to act it out for Chu Yunshen to see.
“Alright, I got it.”
Cheng Xiaoxiao was about to act out how she bumped the corner of the table, covered her forehead, and cried again when Chu Yunshen finally reached out his arm and grabbed her.
It was also a coincidence that Chu Yunshen did not catch Cheng Xiaoxiao’s arm, but her hand. Cheng Xiaoxiao’s hand was very soft and hot, similar to the temperature of her hot forehead.
In fact, when Cheng Xiaoxiao got up from the side of the table, Chu Yunshen accidentally touched her forehead. The temperature was so high that even his fingers were a little hot.
Chu Yunshen quickly curled up his fingers, but the temperature seemed to have magic power, traveling from the fingertips to his heart.
The sudden disappearance of the soft touch in his palm actually made Chu Yunshen a little agitated. He felt a sense of loss from the bottom of his heart for no reason.
However, even the outstanding Chu Yunshen couldn’t know for sure where this feeling came from.
