Chapter 210: His Affections 10
“Meow~” The chubby white cat turned its head back and meowed at its owner.
Then, it flitted across the screen without looking back again.
Lu Yan, “…”
He was suddenly curious about the person at the door.
Si Jin was still waiting for a response but instead of a person, a chubby white cat came to meet him. When Si Jin’s gaze landed on the cat, he was stunned for half a beat before he crouched down and stared at it. The corners of his lips hooked into a rather eccentric smile as he whispered.
“A cat.”
And it was a fortune cat!
Si Jin touched the cat’s back and the white cat rolled itself onto his palm unctuously.
“You’re so fat.” Si Jin sighed ruefully, “I can tell that you’re usually fed well.”
The white cat meowed twice, thinking to itself, ‘Who are you calling fat!’
It was obviously voluptuous! It was cute!
Dong Jin came out past the screen and immediately saw this scene. Dong Jin and the young man were stunned. What…was happening!
God knew that the cat raised by the young master shared its master’s temperament and never entertained strangers or allowed them to carry it. That was why the cat had only ever been held by the young master all these years. It would also only sit and sleep in the master’s embrace or on his lap or shoulder.
So what was this now?
It was allowing a stranger to pet it, even rolling around under the stranger’s hand as though extremely familiar with the person.
Dong Jin could not help but gulp and rushed to report this scene to Lu Yan in a soft voice.
Hearing this, Lu Yan’s brows immediately furrowed tightly. “Call him in.”
Dong Jin promptly ushered Si Jin inside.
Si Jin carried the white cat in his arms and, after entering, he recognized the man who was leaning against a black and gold satin backrest pillow as Lu Yan in just a glance.
I’m Si Jin. I wish to learn how to cook in the kitchen downstairs. I know you just bought the inn so I came to ask you if you could give me permission to do this.” Si Jin asked as he rubbed his hand along the cat.
Lu Yan’s gaze was not looking at the youth at all. His eyes were fixed on the cat in Si Jin’s arms. He stared at the cat that was being petted happily and ingratiatingly, almost looking as if it wanted to spend the rest of its life as a fortune cat in the young man’s embrace.
“Do as you please, as long as you don’t interrupt the usual business.”
Si Jin happily nodded his thanks and then said, “This is your cat, so I’m returning it to you.”
The white cat returned to its senses as it was held out. Only then did it dare to turn its head to look at its master’s face. It noticed that Lu Yan seemed to look a little mad.
The white cat hurriedly leaped out of Si Jin’s hands like smoke and jumped onto Lu Yan’s couch.
After Si Jin left.
Dong Jing did not dare to look at Lu Yan’s expression because he felt that the master was a little angry.
He only dared to say cautiously.
“Master, you…”
“Lucky likes him.” Lu Yan rubbed his jaw, his expression amused.
“Why would Lucky like him?” Dong Jing did not understand.
“…”
Lu Yan’s gaze flitted toward the cat on the couch unblinkingly. That cat did not dare look at him, which meant that it felt guilty!
It felt guilty and this meant that it actually liked the young man somewhat.
Hmph!
Parasitic thing.
Lu Yan got up purposefully and opened the window, sweeping his gaze at the fluttering snow outside. His cat would usually hop into his arms or onto his shoulder at a time like this and he was waiting for that to happen, for it to repent.
A moment later.
The white cat quickly leaped onto the window sill and meowed twice.
“Meow, meow.”
Lu Yan’s expression turned dark. Eyebrows arched high, he asked, “You intend to go out and play?”
The white cat meowed once more.
Lu Yan asked with disdain, “You want to look for him to play?”
Just as he said this, the white cat followed along the window sill and quickly jumped down. Its posture was incomparably nimble despite its plumpness.
