Chapter 440: You’re a Liar
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was quite easy to find out about the location of Little Cat’s house. Zhang Tiantian found out not long after.
Little Cat’s house was also a villa with its own front and backyard. Standing in the front yard, one could see the sea. It was very beautiful.
Zhang Tiantian wanted to knock on the door, but she suddenly felt afraid standing at the door.
Her maidservant, Xiao Xue, reminded, “Miss, we’re here.”
Zhang Tiantian glared at her and suddenly realized that there was a low wall. Standing on the small slope, she could see the front view of Little Cat’s front yard. She immediately said, “What if Little Cat isn’t around and someone else opens the door? What should we do? Can we see if there’s anyone at home over there? Let’s go over there and take a look first!”
Xiao Xue hesitated and said, “Miss, that’s not good!”
Zhang Tiantian said, “We’re not going over the wall to enter. We’re just taking a look.”
“If Master finds out, I’ll be punished.”
“Aiya, why would I let him know? If he wants to punish you, I’ll bear the responsibility. Hurry up and go! Lower your voice.”
Zhang Tiantian secretly climbed up the slope. Xiao Xue held her hand carefully.
As soon as she stabilized herself, Xiao Xue lowered her voice and exclaimed, “Miss, he’s there. Let’s go down quickly. We don’t want to be discovered.”
Zhang Tiantian hurriedly asked, “Where, where, why didn’t I see him?”
Xiao Xue pointed. Zhang Tiantian finally saw Little Cat fiddling with something seriously at the foot of the wall.
She wanted to go down, but she was curious about what Little Cat was doing sneakily. She carefully took a few steps forward. Xiao Xue panicked and gestured for her not to go any closer. Instead, Zhang Tiantian took a few more steps closer and peeped her head above Little Cat’s head. Xiao Xue’s heart was almost frightened out by her actions.
Zhang Tiantian widened her eyes and looked around. She saw that the back of Little Cat’s head was quite round. She looked again and realized that his fingers were quite long. She looked again and again. Little Cat was actually making a larger fan!
This fan was quite magical. Not only could it spin automatically, but it could also produce white mist. She felt cold here.
Suddenly, Little Cat looked up and said as if he had long discovered her, “How much longer do you want to peek?”
Zhang Tiantian’s heart skipped a beat. She slid down the small hill and her knee hit the rock. She immediately screamed.
“It hurts!”
Xiao Xue shouted in panic, “Miss, are you alright? I’ll call the doctor!”
Zhang Tiantian got up and waved her hand. “What are you shouting for? If Father and Mother find out, it’ll be over.”
Little Cat suddenly stuck his head out of the wall. He was clearly two years younger than her, but his eyes were as sharp as an 80-year-old man.
Zhang Tiantian said guiltily, “I’m not peeping at you. I’m just sunbathing on the hill.”
It would have been fine if she hadn’t explained, but once she did, her words had revealed what she intended to hide.
Little Cat’s gaze landed on the back of her hand and suddenly disappeared from the wall.
Zhang Tiantian and Xiao Xue quickly slipped away. Not long after, Little Cat came out of the front yard and was waiting for her.
Zhang Tiantian immediately took two steps back like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “What do you want?!”
Little Cat reached out his hand. Zhang Tiantian craned her neck to see that it was a few band-aids.
She glanced at the back of her hand, which was oozing blood. She blushed and took it nonchalantly. “Thank you.”
Little Cat nodded and turned to return to the courtyard.
Zhang Tiantian suddenly stopped him. “Hey, Junior Brother, last time… I’m sorry!” After saying sorry, the rest of her words were much easier to say.
“I didn’t mean to call you an idiot. I was just a little angry and impulsive. You’re very smart. And that fan you just made was amazing.”
With that, Zhang Tiantian wanted to slap herself. Wasn’t that telling Little Cat that she was not sunbathing just now and was actually peeping at him?
Little Cat finally looked at her. “Got it.”
His words were clearly very calm, but they sounded very arrogant.
Seeing that he had given her a band-aid, Zhang Tiantian chose to ignore it and asked curiously, “How do you have white mist coming out from your fan?”
Little Cat did not want to respond, so Zhang Tiantian leaned in front of him again. “Why? Could it be that the sun was too hot and it was burnt?”
Little Cat seemed to be unable to bear her intelligence and said, “It’s not white mist, it’s cold air. There’s ice on the back of the fan.”
As soon as he said this, Zhang Tiantian suddenly widened her eyes and said angrily, “Isn’t this my father’s idea? How can you secretly use my father’s inspiration? He asked you to improvise the fan, but you still said no. You’re a liar!”
Little Cat’s expression darkened.
Zhang Tiantian felt a little afraid, but she also felt that she had done nothing wrong. She puffed out her chest and looked like Little Cat had to give her an explanation.
Little Cat stared at her for a long time, making her hair stand on end. Then he said, “Your father didn’t mention anything to me.”
Zhang Tiantian was stunned. No way? Her father didn’t tell him?
‘So he thought of it himself? He made it in advance?’
Then why did she scold him for no reason?
Zhang Tiantian panicked. Little Cat had already entered the courtyard. The fence divided them into two. Looking at his lonely back, Zhang Tiantian felt even worse than before.
She hurriedly rushed home to find Patriarch Zhang. “Father, didn’t you tell Little Cat?”
Patriarch Zhang was confused. “What?”
“I saw him make a fan that can emit cold air. It’s cooling. Didn’t you tell him?”
Patriarch Zhang shook his head. “No.” Then he hurriedly asked, “What kind of fan? How did you see it?”
Zhang Tiantian immediately jumped. “Ahhh, what should we do!” She had offended him again and said guiltily, “I saw it by accident.”
Master Zhang was very excited. Even if he was not the one who provided the silver to Little Cat to make the heat-reducing device, as long as Little Cat was willing to sell the patent to him, he could still use it to build a workshop.
Patriarch Zhang immediately wanted to look for Little Cat. Zhang Tiantian hurriedly stopped him and stammered, “Father, I thought he secretly used your inspiration to make a fan, so I scolded him.”
When Patriarch Zhang heard this, he immediately frowned and reprimanded, “How many times have I told you? You can only make a conclusion after understanding everything thoroughly!”
Zhang Tiantian said dejectedly, “But I’ve already scolded him. Is it too late to apologize now?”
Patriarch Zhang said angrily, “Hurry up and apologize!” Then, he said, “I’ll go with you!”
Zhang Tiantian panicked. “Can’t I go myself!”
“No way!”
Not long after, Zhang Tiantian and Patriarch Zhang stood at the door of Little Cat’s house with an official visitation gift.
When Little Cat saw the father and daughter, he politely invited them into the house and even brought them tea.
Patriarch Zhang coughed lightly. Zhang Tiantian thought for a long time before saying, “I’m sorry.”
Little Cat nodded casually. “It’s okay.”
It was this attitude again. It was too torturous.
The father and daughter looked at each other uneasily, not knowing how to speak next.
Little Cat seemed to have seen through people’s hearts. “The spray fan is not perfect yet. When it is, I will offer it to the Great Empress..”
