CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 143: ARRESTING PEOPLE OVERNIGHT_2

When Zhaocai saw her constantly watching by the cage, it raised its paw and pressed it against the lock on the cage door.

It could have opened it on its own.

But just as it was about to, it was stopped by a glance from Gu Yanjing, so it didn’t dare move.

Even now, with Qiao Yuxian backing it up, it didn’t dare to open it itself.

Qiao Yuxian opened the cage door, reached in, and took the kitten out firmly.

The kitten was so scared that it made a rustling sound.

Qiao Yuxian sat on the floor, holding it in her arms, stroking its head, soothing it while looking at its appearance.

It was a very beautiful little ragdoll cat.

It seemed to be less than three months old.

As pretty as a little princess, simply stunning.

Qiao Yuxian placed it in the crook of her arm, gently stroking it, letting it gradually calm down.

Zhaocai crouched beside her, watching the little creature on her.

Gu Yanjing handed the cup he was holding to Su Qi, walked over to her side, and helped her up. He let her sit on the sofa.

Zhaocai followed her to the edge of the sofa.

Qiao Yuxian held the kitten, continuously petting it. After a while, she lifted it up with both hands, looked at it, and said, "It’s a little girl. Zhaocai, you have a sister now."

Zhaocai wagged its tail, looking at the kitten.

Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian.

He noticed that ever since she saw the cat, she hadn’t looked up once.

After placing the cup, Su Qi turned around to see Mr. Gu growing colder by the moment in silence.

Finally, Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing, smiling, and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"Found it by the roadside," Gu Yanjing replied indifferently.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at him, then looked at Su Qi.

Receiving her gaze, Su Qi immediately said, "It was Mr. Gu who bought it."

Qiao Yuxian smiled at Gu Yanjing.

Su Qi glanced at Gu Yanjing from the corner of his eye. Seeing no reaction, he added, "Boss Lady, Mr. Gu went to many pet stores for almost a month to buy a pretty kitten for you. He searched for a long time before finding such a beautiful one."

Gu Yanjing lifted his eyes to look at him.

Feeling the sharp gaze on him, Su Qi immediately lowered his head and closed his mouth, saying nothing more.

Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing and said, "Why are you looking at him? Look at me."

Gu Yanjing paused for two seconds, then turned his head to look at her.

Qiao Yuxian proudly raised her eyebrows at him, then turned to Su Qi and said, "Assistant Su, go on."

Su Qi looked over at Gu Yanjing.

"Why are you looking at him again?" Qiao Yuxian asked, "In this home! I’m in charge!"

Su Qi looked at her, his expression clearly asking: Are you sure?

Seeing his incredulous look, Qiao Yuxian asked Gu Yanjing, "Am I in charge here?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her and replied, "Yes."

"See." Qiao Yuxian instantly grew smug, "I’m the boss lady, I call the shots."

"Yes." Su Qi replied, "Mr. Gu squeezed in time over the past month to visit pet stores just to find a cat that would please the boss lady. He searched for a long time, finally picked one, and left it at the pet hospital for five days. It underwent a complete checkup, got vaccinated. He made sure it was safe before bringing it home."

Qiao Yuxian stroked the back of the kitten’s neck, listening to Su Qi.

"Today, Mr. Gu didn’t go to the office to bring it back and give you a surprise," Su Qi added.

Gu Yanjing looked over at him again.

Clearly annoyed at his chattiness.

Su Qi was once again silenced by his gaze.

And this time, no one backed him up.

Qiao Yuxian stroked the kitten, then after a while walked over to Gu Yanjing, squeezing in next to him.

Gu Yanjing was sitting in a single chair when Qiao Yuxian squeezed herself next to him, even pushing him to the side.

Gu Yanjing turned his head to look at her.

Qiao Yuxian also looked at him, her eyes shining bright: "How did you know I wanted a cat?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her without speaking.

Qiao Yuxian smiled again, "I’ve always wanted to have a cat. On one hand, I like them, and on the other, it can keep Zhaocai company when I’m not around."

As she spoke, she placed the kitten on Gu Yanjing’s leg.

Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes to look at the cat, now tense once more.

"See how well-behaved it is. And beautiful, I really like it." Qiao Yuxian stroked the cat, then after a while said, "Let’s give it a name."

"Okay."

"Hmm..." Qiao Yuxian thought for a moment, then looked at Zhaocai and said, "Zhaocai Jinbao..."

Gu Yanjing thought she would name the cat Jinbao.

Then he heard her say, "Let’s call it Dou Jin."

Gu Yanjing raised his eyes to look at her.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Raking in the gold every day! How about that? Cool, right?"

Su Qi suddenly coughed twice.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, "What? Assistant Su, do you have any objections?"

"No, none." Such a pretty little female cat being named Dou Jin. The moment Su Qi heard the name, an image popped into his head of an adorable little cat wielding a Jingu Bang stirring the East Sea, "What about Jinbao?"
