If he had pressed her for answers, Shen Shuci truly didn’t know what she would have done. She could only follow his words, turn around, and head upstairs with hurried steps, nearly missing a stair.

Once she opened the door and turned on the light, she leaned against it, her heart still pounding violently...

An emotion that was difficult to articulate was surging towards her heart, unable to dissipate.

And Huo Qinqi, after seeing the light turn on in her apartment and watching for a while from upstairs, finally got into the car and left.

The Huo family members were frantic, yet knew that some things, even if asked, would be useless.

After Huo Qinqi returned home, he neatly arranged the cat supplies purchased that day. A man of action, after setting up the cat in its bed, he took a picture of the cat and sent it to Shen Shuci without any text.

Shen Shuci, already made restless by him, saw the picture of the cat. The kitten, which she had chosen, looked so tame and adorable that the sight wrung her heart...

She wanted to see the cat, yet she couldn’t bypass him!

It was madness.

Tang Wan, on the other hand, felt very guilty, thinking she had let Shen Shuci down.

”Auntie must have been uncomfortable today; she didn’t eat much at dinner. It was indeed very awkward,” Tang Wan assumed that Shen Shuci’s lack of appetite was because of her own doing.

Little did she know, Shen Shuci was harboring personal troubles.

”I’ll apologize to her later, she’ll understand,” Jiang Jinsang said while pulling out some newly bought mealworms to feed Lord Wansui.

Perhaps due to the warmer weather, Lord Wansui was more lively than usual, waving its short limbs, stretching its neck to bite at the mealworms.

As Jiang Jinsang held the mealworm, he thought about the cat bed and other items Huo Qinqi had purchased today, his brows furrowing slightly. Lately, he had been acting very oddly—

His recent actions had already raised suspicion.

Getting a cat, buying things, a male cat with all sorts of flashy colors—those things seemed so mismatched with his household.

While Tang Wan showered, Jiang Jinsang went to exercise. Having been around him for so long, Jiang Jiu and Jiang immediately saw through his ruse.

”Second Master said not to meddle in Mr. Huo’s affairs,” Jiang Yanting, knowing Jiang Jinsang’s nature, had warned Jiang and Jiang Jiu beforehand. He worried about Jiang Jinsang getting involved in trouble.

”I know! I’m just curious where he got that cat from; I’d like to keep one too.” Jiang Jinsang said with a laugh, not allowed to investigate him, but surely a cat was fair game?

Jiang Jiu and Jiang exchanged a glance...

Wasn’t this just another way of targeting the cat’s owner?
