"Of course, he's afraid that person might have ill intentions toward you." He said seriously, "Haven't you noticed he's a bad guy?"

"Are you asleep?"

She didn't want to pay any attention to him and went straight upstairs.

Cheng Ke promptly stuffed the gift he had prepared into her handbag. Something sank to the bottom, and Xie Zhen naturally heard it, "What did you put in there?"

"Bomb." He lost his composure again, "Go and see for yourself, won't you?"

Xie Zhen lowered her head to search, she didn't want to accept other people's things for no reason. Cheng Ke stopped her actions, "Alright, go up quickly, I'm leaving."

Nevertheless, she found it. It looked like a little gift. Xie Zhen was amazed, "You still keep gifts on your body?"

"Who knew you wouldn't come back last night?" Cheng Ke muttered, "I sent it too late. Next time, I'll send something more expensive. If I had known you were so popular, I would have to work harder."

"What utter nonsense are you talking about?"

Receiving a gift from someone like Ke doesn't feel as heavy with guilt.

Xie Zhen waved goodbye and went upstairs. Including Shen Jiayin, everyone also gave her gifts. Zhou Tingshu and Cheng Ke separately gave her a brooch and a bracelet, which were the best gifts they could think of.

This is not surprising.

After raising the kitten for three months, it has gained a lot of weight and is no longer small enough to be held in one hand.

For the past three months, Zhou Yunli hasn't given up on asking Xie Zhen to see the cat.

She declined, refused, and showed indifference.

He still wouldn't let it go, asking every three days, and once every five. Even if Xie Zhen didn't reply, his enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Because of these trivial matters, he didn't even bother to threaten Shen Jiaxin, delaying it time and time again.

Xie Zhen was being pestered by Zhou Yunli. Her phone was filled with his pictures of the kitten every day. It had grown up and was much prettier now, especially fond of napping on the floor, looking very lazy.

Within three months, she went to see it for the first time.

It was also during these three months that Zhou Yunli finally got to see Xie Zhen across the screen.

I don't know when Xie Zhen is going, Zhou Yuli spent the whole day with the home surveillance screen on his computer. Until the afternoon, there was finally some movement at home.

The scene shows Xie Zhen entering, changing her shoes, and searching the whole house for the cat. She found it under the curtains in the living room—a chubby little cat she liked.

However, due to Zhou Yunli's presence, I have to bear with it and not come.

Before, her wish was to raise a small animal with him, taking care of it together, warm and fulfilling.

Xie Zhen held the kitten for a while, then let it go and added food to its bowl, feeding it canned food. When it was full, she went to the refrigerator to get some ice cream.

The weather had long since left the heat, but she was still unrestrained. A whole bucket of ice cream was about to be eaten by her. After eating enough, she lay sideways on the sofa watching her phone, not forgetting to pet the kitten in her arms.

Very lazy and relaxed.

Watching her move around the house is a healing and heartwarming thing.

Even for just these few fleeting hours, Zhou Yunli was fully engrossed. Xia Jing went in and out several times, feeling awkward and hesitant, pacing back and forth until finally, she gritted her teeth and walked in, handing him the documents.

"Boss, this is what needs to be signed..."

Zhou Yunli didn't even lift her head, tapping her fingertips on the table. "Just leave it there," she said.

As soon as Xiao Jing left, Zhou Yunli called Xie Zhen. Her tone was bad, and she had grapes in her mouth. "What the?!"

"Don't give the ice cream to Lezai."

"Who is Lezai?"

"Kitten."

Xie Zhen suddenly sat up, looked around, and put the lid on the ice cream, put away the spoon, like a startled bird, "Did you install surveillance cameras in your house?"

It is now believed that she will probably never return.

Zhou Yunli looked at Xie Zhen, who was peeking around the painting, and lied, "No, I just reminded you that there's some in the fridge. I know you're definitely going to take it out and eat it."

"Who ate your ice cream?" Xie Zhen gritted her teeth, "Psycho!"

This was a rare occasion, he felt happy being scolded, just to hear her voice, that made him happy. Maybe this is pathological, he admitted.

This joy didn't give Zhou Yunli a chance to savor it. At this moment, Qin Manman's call was like a basin of cold water, poured straight down.

Zhou Yunli hung himself once.

She came again, no matter how many times he hung up, she seemed to have something urgent and wouldn't stop. When Zhou Yunli picked up, he unconsciously spoke to her in a heavier tone, "What's the matter?"
