Since it was getting late, Bai Rongran asked the driver to take Rong Lan straight home.
Rong Lan got off the car at the community gate. After waving goodbye to Bai Rongran, she heaved a heavy sigh. "It seems I can only go find Bai Rongran tomorrow to tell her about the seafood feast." It was obviously too late today.
The little fox thought the ghost Bai Rongran wouldn't go too far. As long as she was still within the territory of Kyoto, it would only take half a day for her to find the ghost.
However, she didn't expect that after getting rid of a heart - ailment, the ghost Bai Rongran carried two big bags of snacks and drinks and went on a trip to the seaside. Moreover, the place the ghost Bai Rongran went to was a great distance away from Kyoto. It took Rong Lan a full two days to find the ghost.
After finding her, Rong Lan told the ghost Bai Rongran about the seafood feast and then immediately returned to Kyoto. After all, a large - span teleportation array consumed a great deal of spiritual energy. She needed to use spiritual energy to restore her cultivation, so she had to save it.
On Saturday morning—
"Meow, meow, meow?" The little ragdoll cat being carried by Rong Lan towards the door tilted its little head up. Its paws grabbed at the buttons of Rong Lan's down jacket, and there seemed to be a hint of confusion in its pupils.
Rong Lan looked down and met those round cat pupils. She reached out and scratched the kitten's chin. "Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Today your daddy and I are taking you out. First, I'll go deal with some work - related matters, and in the afternoon, we'll take you to the hospital for a physical examination."
Last night when she and her brother were lying in bed getting ready to sleep, he suddenly mentioned that they should take the little guy to the hospital for a routine check - up on Saturday. She thought that she had no plans for tomorrow anyway, so she agreed. However, as soon as she nodded, her phone rang. She received a new message. It was Song Wanyue asking if she was free on Saturday.
Song Wanyue said that the lawyer in charge of her inheritance was too busy and only had time on Saturday. If she was available, they could meet on Saturday to finalize the contract. Rong Lan originally wanted to decline Song Wanyue. She had even typed half of the refusal in the input box, but then she suddenly remembered that she had received two million from the other person.
If she refused, what if Song Wanyue suspected that she had run away with the money? So after discussing with her brother, she still decided that in the morning, he and Little Amber would accompany her to the fortune - telling studio to work overtime, and then in the afternoon, they would all go to the pet hospital from the fortune - telling studio.
"Meow!"
The little guy in her arms started to struggle and wanted to jump to the ground. Rong Lan was stunned. Her Little Amber had always been very sensible and well - behaved. What was wrong with it today? It wouldn't even let her hold it? "Does Little Amber not want to go out?"
She turned around and looked at the man packing the cat carrier for help. "Brother, it seems that Little Amber doesn't want to go out."
Hearing this, Chu Hengyuan looked up at the little ragdoll cat wriggling in the little girl's arms.
The little guy clearly didn't want to cooperate. A good cat was almost twisted into a pretzel.
He raised his eyebrows and suggested, "Rong Lan, put it down and see what it wants to do."
"It won't run away and hide, will it?" With this speculation in mind, Rong Lan still bent down and put the little ragdoll cat on the ground.
The little ragdoll cat that had successfully landed on the ground tilted its little head up and meowed at Rong Lan, then turned around and ran towards the bedroom.
Rong Lan, watching the little ragdoll cat run away: "???" Was Little Amber really going to hide? Did it not want to go out or did it not want to go to the hospital?
Chu Hengyuan, who was also watching the little ragdoll cat run towards the bedroom, put down the cat carrier in his hand. Rarely, he didn't understand what the little guy wanted to do. Amber wasn't the kind of cat that was afraid of going out or going to the pet hospital. When he had taken the cat out before, it had always cooperated obediently.
The couple stood together, looking in the direction of the bedroom and falling into a long silence, each guessing the reason for the little guy's abnormality today.
"Should we follow it and have a look? Is Little Amber really hiding to avoid going out?"
"I don't think it's hiding to avoid going out. If it wanted to hide, why did it run into the guest bedroom?" He watched the little ragdoll cat run into the guest bedroom.
"You're right." Then what was Little Amber doing running into the guest bedroom? Rong Lan couldn't figure it out. She completely forgot that Little Amber had hidden a pile of dried fish under the bed in the guest bedroom, and at least one - third of the dried fish had been hidden there by her with Little Amber.
It wasn't until she saw the little ragdoll cat come out with a dried fish in its mouth that Rong Lan remembered that the only thing in the guest bedroom that could attract Little Amber was the dried fish under the bed.
But...
Little Amber was taking dried fish out of the guest bedroom in front of Chu Hengyuan?
Rong Lan covered her face and didn't dare to look at her brother's expression.
Little Amber's sudden act of walking straight into the trap made it seem not very smart.
The little ragdoll cat saw its daddy and mommy standing side by side. Without hesitation, it put the dried fish at Rong Lan's feet.
After putting down the dried fish, it ran back into the guest bedroom.
Chu Hengyuan glanced at the packaging of the dried fish and knew when he had bought these. The little girl standing beside him lowered her head and covered her face. She might as well have written the word "guilty" on top of her head. He couldn't help but smile helplessly. It was a pity that his glasses had been taken away by her, and now she could control herself not to show her fox ears. Otherwise, her fox ears would surely be drooping on top of her head, and the tips of her ears might even be trembling because of guilt.
"Rong Lan, did you know that Amber had hidden dried fish in the guest bedroom? Why aren't you surprised at all to see Amber taking dried fish out of the guest bedroom?" Chu Hengyuan asked with a gentle smile, setting a trap for the little girl who was too guilty to look at him.
As a fox who liked to set traps for others, Rong Lan immediately knew there was a trap in her brother's words. She immediately put down her hands and pretended to be confused. "I'm surprised. I was just thinking about when Little Amber hid the dried fish in the guest bedroom."
She thought she had pretended well, but she didn't know that she was so guilty that her face had turned red. Chu Hengyuan reached out and rubbed the little girl's blushing face, holding back the urge to burst out laughing. "Really? I can tell you about this, since I buy different brands of dried fish for Amber every time. These dried fish that Amber brought out seem to have been hidden by Amber when that fox immortal was still living with us."
Hearing Chu Hengyuan's words, Rong Lan felt even guiltier. Her eyes flitted around, and she just didn't dare to meet his eyes.
Chu Hengyuan smiled and ruffled her hair again. In the end, he didn't expose what she was guilty about.
The little ragdoll cat ran back and forth between the guest bedroom and the entrance three times and only took out three dried fish. When it ran out for the fourth time, it saw its daddy stroking its mommy's head. After putting down the dried fish, it squatted in front of Chu Hengyuan and scratched his instep. "Meow, meow, meow!"
Daddy was only focused on playing with mommy. Seeing how hard it had been running, didn't he plan to help?
The painless scratch made Chu Hengyuan look down at the cat. He put away the gentle smile he had when talking to his little wife and said in a slightly cold tone, "Amber, I haven't even settled the score with you for hiding the dried fish. Why did you scratch me?"
