Sanmao curled up into a ball and completely ignored her.
After talking to herself for a while, March Spring felt bored again. Thinking of the cat-raising tips she had read online, she knew that there was no rush, so she stopped clinging to the little white cat. "Then you stay here for now. Mommy will put your water and food here. The litter box is over by the bathroom. Be a good boy/girl."
Seeing that the little white cat still ignored her, March Spring was a little discouraged and gave up. She sat on the dressing table, tidied herself up, glanced at the little white cat who was still lying in the carrier, put away her phone, touched up her lipstick in front of the mirror, and then went out.
Only after the room had completely quieted down did Sanmao cautiously peek her head out of the carrier, look around the room, and then walk out with light steps.
She looked around the room, then jumped onto the pink bed, her tiny steps leaving plum blossom-shaped footprints on the soft pink cherry blossom quilt. Finally, she found a spot in the center of the quilt, and with a slight bend of her two little feet, a trickle of water spread out in a dark circle on the cherry blossom quilt.
After finishing her masterpiece, she still felt a little unsatisfied, so she gracefully walked to the cherry blossom pillow and sniffed it. Then she turned around and rubbed her precious little bottom against it.
Only then did she feel it was perfect. She jumped off the bed, strolled to the so-called cat bed, stepped on it, and found it quite comfortable. So she stopped being picky, found a comfortable spot, and lay down.
San Yuechun was naturally unaware of Sanmao's actions. She was exhausted after returning home late at night from a social engagement, but she still managed to cultivate her relationship with Sanmao.
Of course, the aloof Sanmao remained unmoved, secretly observing the annoying woman as she rested her head on the pillow she used to wipe her bottom, and she drifted off into a sweet dream.
The next day, eager to prove Chili Not Spicy wrong, March Spring brought Sanmao into the company.
Yes, the reason why March Spring went to such lengths to get the little white cat was to replace Chili Bula.
She was signed in at the same time as Chili Not Spicy. Although she was superior to Chili Not Spicy in every aspect, she was always overshadowed by her, which made her somewhat resentful. Over time, this resentment became a bit obsessive.
Therefore, over the past few years, she has never thought about changing jobs. She has always followed behind Chili Not Spicy, thinking that wherever she is overwhelmed, she must get back up.
This time, Chili Not Spicy gained a lot of fans by using this little white cat, and even assumed that the cat was hers. But now, fans are asking the cat to appear in their videos every day, but Chili Not Spicy doesn't bring the cat out anymore. She knows that her chance has come.
When the internet finally finds out that the cat isn't spicy like a chili pepper, but rather like a woman in the heat of spring, things will get interesting.
She originally wanted to bond with the little white cat before taking it out to stomp on chili peppers, but she couldn't wait any longer.
Sure enough, when she arrived at the company with the cat, all her colleagues gathered around, including Chili Not Spicy.
However, Chili Not Spicy didn't care about March Spring's smugness or her colleagues' strange looks. After confirming with her own eyes that the little white cat was indeed the Shen family's, she smiled at March Spring and asked, "Are you sure this cat is yours?"
March Spring was incredibly smug. "Or is it Hot Sister's?"
Chili-Not-Spicy shrugged, returned to his office, and took out his phone to call Shen Wuqiu.
Meanwhile, Gu Lingfei, who was also in S City, had received the news and learned the location of her beloved niece. She immediately changed her itinerary and had her driver head to the internet celebrity company.
Half an hour later, the celebrity influencer company was in an uproar.
"Have you heard? Wan Kai wants to cooperate with our company."
"I wonder who they'll be promoting this time?"
"Really?"
"I heard that Wan Kai's chairman will personally come to our company to discuss cooperation."
"...Your news is too fake, isn't it? The chairman of Wan Kai? That's a legendary figure..."
...
Amidst the lively discussion, the elegant young nobleman Gu Lingfei strode into the doors of Zhongxing Company.
The CEO of Zhongxing, who had only heard the news secondhand, was also flattered and immediately notified the senior management to come to the company after receiving the news.
Compared to the simple-minded Gu Miaomiao, Gu Lingfei, who had spent a long time in the human world, was much more sophisticated. She greeted people elegantly and politely, and then got straight to the point, "I apologize for disturbing you today, but it's not for any other reason than to pick up our little darling."
"..." Even Cao Xingyue, the seasoned boss of Zhongxing, expressed a moment of shock—a little darling... a baby... their company signed Wan Kai's chairman's little darling??
Cao Xingyue stammered, "I don't know... Mr. Gu's little darling..."
Gu Lingfei didn't speak. She picked up the tea that Cao Xingyue had personally brewed, blew on it with a slight curve to her lips, took a small sip, put it down, and stood up.
Cao Xingyue quickly got up as well.
"President Cao will find out soon."
As he spoke, he turned to leave.
Cao Xingyue realized what was happening and went ahead of him to open the door for him.
Gu Lingfei walked straight to San Yuechun's workstation and stopped.
Everyone in the company stared at San Yuechun in shock, still reeling from the astonishing relationship between "San Yuechun and Chairman Wan Kai".
Gu Lingfei spoke up: "Miss, it's wrong to steal someone else's little treasure."
The sentence sounds polite, even a bit indulgent, if you ignore the coldness in the tone.
Amidst another collective gasp, Gu Lingfei strode over to the company's newly opened pet area, bent down, opened the pet carrier, and waved inside, "Sanmao, time to go home."
The next second, the little white ball enthusiastically pounced on him, meowing and acting cute.
[Uncle, waaaaah~]
Gu Lingfei smiled gently, patting Sanmao's head, "Alright, alright, it's okay now."
"..."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu Lingfei's gaze bypassed the stunned crowd and landed on Cao Xingyue. "My little darling is shy around strangers. I hope President Cao won't let anyone bring her over so casually next time."
"..."
Another gasp rippled through the room.
Cao Xingyue snapped out of her daze, not having time to lash out at Sanyue Chun, and quickly explained, "Chairman Gu, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter..."
Gu Lingfei remained calm, holding Sanmao in her arms and ignoring his explanation, "President Cao, I apologize for disturbing you today."
"No...no..."
As she lifted her foot to leave, Gu Lingfei seemed to remember something, her gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Chili Not Spicy. "Wu Qiu asked me to thank you. From now on, Miss Chili Not Spicy, whatever difficulties you may encounter, I, Gu Lingfei, will grant your wish."
"Mr. Gu, you're too kind." Chili is not spicy. At this moment, Chili is overjoyed, thankful that she hadn't been bewitched back then.
Gu Lingfei smiled and then carried Sanmao away.
After a while, discussions slowly began to emerge from the crowd.
Amidst the various discussions among the crowd, March Spring slumped into her workstation. She knew that she would never be able to overcome the fact that chili peppers weren't spicy in her lifetime.
No, not only could she not get past that, she couldn't even stay in this industry.
When Cao Xingyue called her into her office, she asked, "Why isn't the chili spicy?"
"Why what?"
"You knew all along, so why didn't you remind me?"
"Those who reap what they sow will not live."
"You did it on purpose."
"March Spring, you're not stupid. If you weren't so eager to outdo me, why would you go to such lengths? So, you reap what you sow."
A note from the author:
Love you all, muah!
Chapter 147
Once in his uncle's arms, Sanmao became quite smug, perching on Gu Lingfei's shoulder while kneading his breasts with his little paws and bossing everyone around: "Meow~"
Uncle, I'm hungry!
Gu Lingfei glanced at her clothes and, sure enough, the dark green haute couture shirt had two thin strands of fabric pulled by the little brat's tiny paws. It seemed the shirt wouldn't need to be sent to the dry cleaners.
Gu Lingfei sighed helplessly, gently pulled her off his shoulder with two fingers, placed her on his lap, and affectionately flicked her forehead. "What? Were you mistreated? They didn't even feed you?"
Sanmao proudly raised its head and meowed.
I wouldn't deign to eat that!
Gu Lingfei was amused by her cute appearance, and changed his flicking motion on her forehead to a gentle rub. Of the four children, Sanmao is the most like Gu Miaomiao. For Gu Lingfei and his brothers, seeing Sanmao is like seeing their own little sister when she was a child.
Tsk, those days of carefree petting of younger sisters, I really miss them.
"Meow~" Seeing that her uncle was ignoring her, Sanmao became a little unhappy and stretched out one of her little feet to scratch the man's palm.
"What do you want to eat? Will your uncle take you to eat something before taking you back?" Gu Lingfei snapped out of her reverie, raised her wrist to check the time, and said, "Your mother is very worried about you."
Thinking of her gentle Qiuqiu's mother, the fatigue and anxiety that had been building up for a day and a night suddenly surged forth like a floodgate being opened, transforming into an emotion called grievance.
"Hmm?" Seeing her suddenly become listless, Gu Lingfei asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Sanmao lay down on his lap, her little paws crossed over each other, her tiny head resting on them, her glassy eyes filled with dejection, even her voice was listless: "Meow~"
I've made my mom worry so much, will she stop liking me?
"??? That can't be right." Gu Lingfei blinked in confusion. Is the competition among multiple births really that fierce? Could such a small thing really affect a mother's love?
Sanmao glanced at him, then remained silent.
Looking at the little one who was caught up in emo, Gu Lingfei felt a bit overwhelmed. "By the way, didn't you just say you were hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll take you to eat and then take you home?"
Sanmao didn't respond, remaining silent for several seconds before finally letting out a meow.
I still miss my mom more.
"Then your uncle will take you back first." Hearing her say that, Gu Lingfei immediately had the driver take her to the airport.
It wasn't that he, as the uncle, was reluctant to treat his niece to this meal; it was mainly because he was considering Qiuqiu's feelings as a mother, which was why he was so eager to send the cat back. Besides, as a divine beast, human food was merely for the pleasure of eating.
For the sake of the cub's mental health, Gu Lingfei personally escorted him all the way.
****
On Shen Wuqiu's side, although she received news that Sanmao was safe and sound, she couldn't put her mind at ease until she saw the baby. If it weren't for her family's persuasion, she would have wanted to go to S City herself. In the end, after being persuaded by her family, she only went to the county town to wait.
The moment she saw Sanmao, her eyes instantly reddened. She hugged Sanmao tightly and looked at him repeatedly, saying, "Baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
"Meow~" When Sanmao saw her red eyes, which were filled with suppressed moisture, the little cub's feelings were also very complicated. It hugged her neck tightly with its little paws.
The mother and daughter hugged each other affectionately in the car.
This made even the jealous Gu Miaomiao envious, but she didn't dare complain to her partner, so she could only mutter sarcastically from the side: "See, I told you it would be fine... I told you not to worry so much..."
Shen Wuqiu was too lazy to pay attention to her, her mind was entirely on Sanmao. This feeling of regaining what she had lost was both surprising and profound, and it completely brought out the maternal tenderness and love hidden deep in her heart.
"Honey, did they...bully you?"
