Xia Ling only fell asleep in the middle of the night.

When she woke up the next day, she found herself curled up in Li Lei’s arms and her nose pressed against Li Lei’s chest. His body warmth and heartbeat were so close to her that she felt somewhat uncomfortable. She looked up and realized that Li Lei was looking at her with his beautiful and quiet eyes. She did not know how long he had been watching her.

Seeing that she was looking over, he smiled and greeted her. “Good morning, Xiao Ling.”

Xia Ling struggled out of his arms rather uncertain. Didn’t she sleep back-facing him? She uneasily scanned her surroundings and asked, “Where is the cat?”

She heard a faint meow in answer. The cat had curled into a small ball of fur at the foot of the bed and was still covered in dirt. It looked at her with its damp eyes.

Xia Ling’s heart almost melted. She lifted her arms and warmly said, “Come here.”

The kitten looked at her and then it looked at Li Lei. It hesitated, not daring to move.

Xia Ling looked at Li Lei with some uncertainty. Why was the kitten still afraid of him? Wasn’t the scent of Er Mao on him gone?

Li Lei had an innocence look on his face, but inside, he remembered how he treated the cat last night. Hey, didn’t I threw you out from Xiao Ling’s embrace yesterday? Why are you bearing a grudge? If Xiao Ling realizes the truth, I will skin you alive. He thought.

He secretly shot a vicious look at the small cat.

The kitten felt more wronged, lightly wagged its tail and laid on the bed looking down.

Xia Ling turned over and hugged it. “Are you hungry? Is that why you don’t have any energy to move?” She lifted its skinny and bony body for a closer look. She remembered that after she brought it back yesterday, she forgot to feed it amidst the chaos and could not help but chastise herself. “I will find something for you to eat.”

“I asked someone to order cat food and cat litter.” Li Lei lifted his wrist to look at the time. He was still wearing the Rolex that Xia Ling gave him a few months ago. “They should arrive soon.”

Xia Ling frowned. “Then we should give it something else to eat first. It is too small, so it will easily go hungry.”

Big Boss Li was unhappy and jealously glared at the small cat. Xiao Ling had never treated him that well.

The kitten shrank into Xia Ling’s arms after Li Lei glared at it.

Xia Ling did not suspect anything. She sat up from the bed in her long coral fleece pajamas and slid her feet into a pair of soft rabbit slippers. She carried the small cat and opened the bedroom door, wanting to go to the kitchen to look for food.

She was still groggy and forgot that Er Mao’s scent was outside the bedroom. The kitten was scared to death and completely remembered what had happened last time. Just as her hand touched the bedroom door’s handle, the cat let out a shrilly meow and struggled to escape her grip.

She could not react in time and had already opened the door.

Only then did she remember. “Oh no, Er Mao.” She hurriedly retreated as she was afraid that the cat would be frightened.

Unexpectedly, after the door opened, the small cat calmed down. It was still a little nervous and clawed her tightly, but it did not have such an intense reaction.

Xia Ling looked at it to ensure that it was still emotionally stable. Then, she looked out of the bedroom and realized that the strong and majestic animal which had beautiful fur was no longer there.
