Chapter 346: Uh, you want me to start a business?

“It’s alright, although it’s called a cocktail, it’s more like sparkling juice. You’ll understand after a sip, Big Fat Raccoon Cat,” Yuan Ni said with a smile. She was so happy today. Big Fat Raccoon Cat could accompany her for a drink, after all, cocktails don’t have much alcohol.

“No, no, this cat is a good cat, and I would never drink this, Young Miss, don’t even think about it,” Li Li shook his head and refused after hearing this.

Refusing alcohol, starts with me. As a good cat, one should stay away from these things, and absolutely not be tempted by them.

Besides, alcohol is not that great anyway.

“Alright, in that case, how about I give you some milk? Do you want to drink pure milk?” Yuan Ni asked Li Li after seeing this and putting the cocktail back by her feet.

“Yes, yes? This cat wants to drink pure milk, preferably low-fat. I heard that low-fat milk is good for cats,” Li Li nodded repeatedly.

This is the right thing to do, Young Miss. A cat like him should drink milk, not cocktails.

“You little rascal, you have quite high standards, don’t you? But since Sister is happy today, I’ll reluctantly agree,” Yuan Ni said and got up to get the milk.

Seeing this, Li Li sat down and waited.

“Low-fat milk? You little rascal, you really know how to enjoy yourself,” Yuan Ni couldn’t help but smile as she opened the refrigerator door and searched for drinks.

She took out the fresh milk from the refrigerator and walked towards Li Li.

“Little rascal, take a look, is this okay? This is the fresh milk that Sister has stocked up. It should meet your requirements.”

“Yes, yes, it’s absolutely perfect. This cat loves to drink this kind of stuff,” Li Li nodded repeatedly, eagerly extending his paw.

After seeing this, Yuan Ni didn’t give it to Li Li directly, but took out a disposable cup from the side.

Seeing this, Li Li couldn’t help but mutter, “No need to go through so much trouble, Young Miss. This cat has a good appetite and can handle it myself. You don’t need to bother helping me.”

“And it’s so troublesome this way, having Sister wash another cup. It makes this cat feel embarrassed.”

“You little rascal, don’t be embarrassed.” Yuan Ni said as she poured the milk, “Because this carton of milk is not just for you to drink, Sister wants to drink it too. If I let you hold it and drink, wouldn’t that be a waste?”

What is this little rascal thinking? Wanting to monopolize a whole carton of milk by himself? He’s thinking too much. After finishing this liter of milk, wouldn’t he be so full he’d be burping?

“How is it a waste, Young Miss? This cat is helping you to deal with it. You don’t even thank me for it, and you say that. Isn’t that a bit bad?” Li Li couldn’t help but retort after hearing this.

“You little rascal, when have you ever helped me? And you said I didn’t thank you? You have to help me before I can thank you, right?” Yuan Ni said with a smile and reached out to pinch Li Li’s chubby face.

“Who said I didn’t help you, Young Miss? As soon as Auntie came in, she said she wanted you to go on a blind date. If this cat hadn’t used illusion magic to help you delay, you would have been sent on a blind date now.”

“How could you be so happy as you are now?”

Li Li said angrily. He originally wanted to be a good cat who does good deeds without leaving a name, but if she said that, then he could only lay it all out.

“Did you use illusion magic on Mom?” Yuan Ni asked in shock.

“Yes, this cat created an illusion for Auntie where she forced you to go on a blind date, which eventually led to your depression and death. Didn’t you notice that Auntie’s expression was a bit off when you went up just now?” Li Li nodded his big head and said, “Otherwise, Young Miss, do you think it would be so easy for you? It’s all thanks to this cat’s help behind the scenes, okay?”

Did Young Miss really think that Auntie, who always urged her to go on blind dates, would suddenly become enlightened? There must be some external factors at play.

“I was wondering why Mom’s mental state was a bit off. It turns out it was you, little rascal.” Yuan Ni tapped Li Li’s big head angrily, “You little rascal, don’t do this next time, okay? Although Mom often urges me to go on blind dates, she is still my mom. If you use illusion magic, will it cause her any harm?”

“Don’t worry, absolutely not. This cat’s illusion magic is all natural and pollution-free, and there are no after-effects. Besides, this cat helped you solve the problem, Young Miss. You should thank me,” said Li Li, blocking her hand with his two paws. What kind of situation is this? He helped her, and she was tapping his head.

“I will definitely thank you, but it’s still not good to use illusion magic on my mom, you know? Don’t do it next time,” Yuan Ni admonished.

“Oh, oh, I got it.” Li Li nodded his big head. If Young Miss didn’t want him to do it, he wouldn’t. He was just trying to help. If she didn’t like it, he could save himself the trouble.

“That’s right.” Yuan Ni smiled and pushed the cup of milk in front of Li Li. “Here, drink your milk. Since you helped me, this cup of milk is your reward.”

“What? This cat helped you with such a big thing, Young Miss, and I only get a cup of milk? Even the legendary miser isn’t as stingy as you are,” Li Li muttered, holding the cup.

“Who told you your reward is only a cup of milk? Later, Sister will get you a roast suckling pig, okay?” Yuan Ni said with a smile.

“That’s more like it.” Li Li nodded in satisfaction and started drinking the milk.

At the same time, he was full of anticipation for the roast suckling pig she promised. He wondered when she would buy it for him.

“Today is the 28th, tomorrow is the 30th, and the day after tomorrow is the 31st. Let’s see, there are only a few days left until the end of the month.”

“Time flies by so fast,” Li Hao counted the days on his fingers as he went upstairs, a happy look unconsciously appearing in his eyes.

It’s almost the end of the month, which means it’s almost Chinese New Year, and he can go home for the holidays.

Just thinking about going home to have fun made him so happy.

Especially since he bought a house this time, he believed his parents would be very happy to know.

After all, not everyone can buy a house without relying on their parents.

“Young Miss, you can sit inside slowly. My shovel officer is back. I’m going to go see him,” Li Li said, jumping down from the chair, licking the milk stains on his mouth.

“Okay, you go. Remember to come down and find Sister later,” Yuan Ni said. “Otherwise, Sister will eat the roast suckling pig alone, without even leaving you a bone. I’ll make you drool to death.”

“Got it, got it. I’ll definitely come down later, Young Miss, don’t worry,” Li Li replied, then hopped over to open the door and walked out.

“Why did you suddenly come out, you fat cat? You didn’t finish everything, did you?” Yuan Ni’s mother, who was cleaning the living room, couldn’t help but say.

Li Li muttered after hearing this.

“Meow meow~ （Auntie, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say anything. This cat is always well-behaved. Why do I sound like a glutton when I’m with you, Auntie?）”

“Meow meow~ （You should know that this cat is always honest and hardworking, and never causes any trouble, right?）”

“What’s wrong? Do you have something to say, little guy? You look quite unhappy,” Yuan Ni’s mother couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Li Li’s unhappy expression. “Okay, okay, Auntie was just teasing you. I didn’t really mean it. You little rascal, are you angry?”

“I can tell that you’re a small cat, but you have quite a temper, don’t you?”

This little guy is actually angry. I can’t believe he has such a temper.

“Meow meow~ （This cat is quite big, okay? I just look small. If I wasn’t worried about scaring you, Auntie, I would show you.” Li Li muttered after hearing this.

The reason she thought he was a small cat was because he hadn’t transformed. If he did, it would be different. He reckoned it would give Auntie a fright.

“Click, click”

“Click, click”

While the person and the cat were talking, the door opened, and Li Hao walked in.

When he saw the person and the cat in the living room, he couldn’t help but be stunned. “Auntie, are you chatting?”

“Yes, I was chatting with Fatty Cat, but he doesn’t seem to want to talk to me.” Yuan Ni’s mother nodded.

“Is that so? Auntie, don’t mind Li Li. He’s just like that, a bit aloof,” Li Hao said with a smile and walked towards Li Li. “Li Li, you too. Auntie likes you so much and wants to talk to you so much, how can you ignore her? You should know that’s not polite, do you understand?”

“Shovel Officer, if you didn’t see it, you shouldn’t talk nonsense, you know? Otherwise, be careful, this cat will beat you up later,” Li Li rolled his eyes and walked upstairs.

“Auntie, I’m really sorry. Li Li is just like that. I’ll go upstairs and educate him properly,” Li Hao apologized to Yuan Ni’s mother and went upstairs.

“It’s okay, I understand. Don’t blame Fatty Cat, he didn’t do anything wrong,” Yuan Ni’s mother said with a smile.

“Okay, I got it.” Li Hao smiled and went upstairs.

“Xiao Li is still as polite as ever, but it’s a pity.” Yuan Ni’s mother sighed and sat back on the sofa.

“Thump!”

“Thump!”

On the other side, Li Hao had just carried Li Li into the room when he was hit in the face with a set of Super Cat Punches.

He immediately dodged while saying,

“Ah, ah, ah~”

“Li Li, why are you hitting me? My teeth are about to be knocked out by you. Stop it, okay? No good cat hits people like you do.”

“I’m hitting you for acting against Heaven’s will, I’m hitting you for being unreasonable, I’m hitting you for being a liar. Do you even know what’s going on? Just apologizing to others, this cat is not wrong, okay?” Li Li scolded angrily, retracting his claws. Why did this stupid guy apologize without even figuring out the situation? It wasn’t his fault. Don’t make it seem like he was the one who did something wrong.

“I know, I know, but when you’re under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head, Li Li,” Li Hao said helplessly, being patted.

Although it was unfair to Li Li, there was nothing he could do. This was the reality.

“Hmph! It’s just an excuse you made up. Don’t talk to me about roofs.” Li Li said angrily and jumped down from Li Hao. “I’m asking when will our house be renovated? Are you really serious about this? Why do you look so idle every day?”

Shovel Officer said that when you’re under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head, but he didn’t hurry up and get their own house done. He didn’t even want to talk to him anymore.

“I’m not idle at all, okay, Li Li? I go to work every morning, go to the house at noon to check on the progress, and don’t come back until dark.” Li Hao helplessly spread his hands and then went up to Li Li ingratiatingly. “Li Li, just be patient, the house will be renovated soon. They’re already laying the water and electricity pipes. It won’t be long before they start painting and tiling.”

“That’s more like it. Remember to supervise them every day, okay? Don’t run around all day without a proper plan,” Li Li emphasized.

“Don’t worry, I will. After all, it’s our own house. I’m still very concerned about it.” Li Hao smiled and took out a cat treat from the box. “Li Li, do you want a cat treat to calm down? Look, you’re so angry that your face has turned white.”

“Hmph! It’s not my fault that I’m so angry. It had nothing to do with this cat in the first place.” Li Li said angrily, taking the cat treat with his paw. “Speaking of which, Shovel Officer, how is your martial arts training going?”

“It’s okay, not good, not bad,” Li Hao scratched his head and smiled.

“Really? Then it seems like you’ve made a lot of progress recently. Just in time, there’s something I want to discuss with you,” Li Li said and hopped onto the table.

“Huh? What is it? You look very serious, Cat Cat,” Li Hao asked curiously.

“It’s not a big deal, just you quitting your job and starting your own business,” Li Li said calmly.

“Ah? You want me to start my own business? Li Li, are you kidding? Starting a business is risky, nine out of ten fail,” Li Hao’s eyes widened in surprise.

“I know that nine out of ten businesses in general industries fail, so the business I’m asking you to start this time is definitely the one with the least competition.” Li Li walked over to Li Hao with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said.

“Huh? Are you sure, Li Li?” Li Hao asked weakly, still a little incredulous.

“Of course, why would I lie to you about this? I’m telling you, you definitely have an advantage in this business,” Li Li said with a smile.

“So, Li Li, what exactly is the business you’re asking me to start?” Li Hao asked weakly. Li Li had said so much, but what kind of business was he supposed to start?

“Of course it’s opening a martial arts school. Isn’t that obvious?” Li Li said with a smile.
