Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 16 Your Cat Is With Me

Huo Jingcheng watched as Su Ruoyun carried the cat carrier in one hand and pushed open the door with the other, walking out of the pet hospital.

When he turned around again, he caught a glimpse of a bag on the sofa out of the corner of his eye. Without him having to point it out, the nurse standing at the front desk had already noticed it. She quickly got up, grabbed the bag of cat treats, and hurried out the door to deliver it to Su Ruoyun.

Huo Jingcheng left a dozen minutes later than Su Ruoyun. He opened the car door, and Lego, who had just finished his bath, lifted up his two front paws and jumped onto the passenger seat.

With its forelegs upright and hind legs bent, it sat on a leather seat, sticking out its tongue and making a gurgling sound. Huo Jingcheng, sitting in the driver's seat, could tell from Lego's bewildered and silly grin that it resembled its owner.

He couldn't help but smile, raised his hand to pat the dog's head, fastened Lego's seatbelt, and drove to Huadu Royal Garden to return the dog to Chen Zheyan.

Upon entering the villa, Lego saw its owner through the floor-to-ceiling windows and immediately became excited. It ran forward to Chen Zheyan's feet, wagging its tail enthusiastically and barking twice.

At that moment, Chen Zheyan was sitting at the dining table, enjoying his lunch. He turned his head and saw Huo Jingcheng. He was stunned for a moment, and his hand, which was scooping soup, was suspended in mid-air.

The French cream of mushroom soup dripped back into the blue and white porcelain bowl along the spoon.

"They brought the dog back to me so quickly, I thought..."

Huo Jingcheng didn't stand on ceremony with his friend, pulling out a chair and sitting down lazily, crossing his long legs. "What did you think?"

"I thought you were going to treat my dog ​​to a good meal and reward him," Chen Zheyan said, drawing out a small bowl of soup.

After saying that, Lego raised its front paws and tried to pry at the beef on the table, as if to indicate that it was hungry.

All I heard Huo Jingcheng say was, "Are you so poor now that you can't even afford to feed a dog?"

The man's tone was casual, yet tinged with sarcasm.

Chen Zheyan gritted his teeth in anger, but didn't forget to pick up a piece of beef and feed it to the dog, retorting, "You're the poor one, I have plenty of money."

Huo Jingcheng's lips curled up slightly as he said leisurely, "That's settled then. Bring your son back so you can properly fulfill your duties as a father."

"..."

Chen Zheyan rolled his eyes slightly, but after thinking about it, he still asked the housekeeper to serve Huo Jingcheng a set of chopsticks and a bowl.

After lunch, the two had another game of ball in the afternoon.

The Cullinan drove smoothly into the club. As soon as Huo Jingcheng got out of the car, a parking attendant came up to him, took the car keys, and drove the car to the parking lot.

Several business associates had already arrived and were sitting under the parasols in the rest area when Huo Jingcheng and Chen Zheyan strolled over leisurely.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, one of the golf buddies said with a smile, "I also have an appointment with President Su today. President Huo and Young Master Chen, you don't mind having another person, do you?"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Before Huo Jingcheng and Chen Zheyan could express their opinions, they suddenly heard a soft laugh from behind them.

"Even if Mr. Huo minds, I've already arrived, and I'm afraid I can't turn back now."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingcheng and Chen Zheyan subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction. When they saw who it was, Chen Zheyan glanced at Huo Jingcheng again and saw that his third brother's expression remained unchanged.

Dressed in a black casual tracksuit, with his left hand in his pocket and his right hand holding a golf club, his features were striking and deep, with sharp angles and a slight smile on his face. Who else could it be but Su Mingyan?

Meeting those deep, dark eyes, Huo Jingcheng chuckled enigmatically.

Someone nearby had already tried to smooth things over.

Those in the know understand that the young masters at the top of Beijing have very close personal relationships, but there are two exceptions whose relationship seems to have a "kings never meet" dynamic. Su Mingyan is here to see Huo Jingcheng today, so things won't be the same as usual.

The game has reached the halfway point.

Those with discerning eyes could more or less see through Su Mingyan's intentions and deliberately gave him ample space.

The two walked side by side on the lush green lawn.

"I heard that President Huo visited the 'Yichuan Tobacco' teahouse some time ago?"

"Yes, I heard it was opened by Mr. Su's people, and I'd like to go and show my support."

Huo Jingcheng deliberately emphasized the word "person" in an attempt to test him.

Su Mingyan smiled and did not refute.

……

It wasn't until 10:30 p.m. that the social engagements ended. Huo Jingcheng picked up his sports bag from the passenger seat and got out of the car. As he closed the door, he heard a faint meow.

He paused in his action of closing the door, his hand resting on the door handle, his brow furrowed slightly. He thought he had misheard and was about to close the door when a clearer "meow~" reached his ears.

He followed the sound, opened the back door, and the dim yellow light from the pillar lamps cast a halo of light into the car. A white cat was lying on the leather seat. Hearing the sound, it tilted its head and let out a soft, pitiful meow.

At a glance, Huo Jingcheng recognized whose cat it was, but...

Why is the cat in his car?
Su Ruoyun and the kitten left before him, and he personally witnessed Su Ruoyun holding the cat and putting it into the car.

Before Huo Jingcheng could figure out where it came from, the cat had already changed its posture, walking quietly and silently over, tilting its head back, waiting for the man to reach out and hug it.

But after waiting for a while, it still didn't come. Then, as if to remind it, it let out a soft meow, "Meow~"

……

Su Ruoyun lost her beloved cat. She had been searching for it since she found it in the underground parking garage in the afternoon, and hadn't been home to rest for a moment since late at night.

Since the car windows were closed on the way back, 'Panda' couldn't have run out, so the only place it could have been was at the pet hospital.

Su Ruoyun could recall what had just happened without much difficulty. After a little thought, she figured it out: when the nurse at the door called her, she forgot to close the door behind her, and that's probably when the panda escaped.

She drove back to the pet hospital immediately, but unfortunately the security camera at the entrance didn't show the parking space, so she couldn't see where the kitten had gone. She asked around, but no one in the nearby alleys had seen a kitten.

At 10:30 p.m., the Third Ring Road was still brightly lit and bustling with traffic, the flow of cars forming a golden line.

After several hours of searching, Su Ruoyun was inevitably tired and exhausted. She rested her hands on the steering wheel, tapping her long fingers impatiently, wandering back and forth on the Third and Fourth Ring Roads like a headless fly.

In a city as big as Beijing, the chances of finding a kitten are extremely slim, but she was unwilling to just go home like that, especially considering that it had just undergone spaying surgery.

Just as she was about to walk around again, her phone, which was in the center console, vibrated and then the screen lit up, casting a blinding light in the dark carriage.

Su Ruoyun glanced sideways and saw that it was a text message. She slowed down and took the phone with her right hand.

She didn't even need to click to check; a message had already popped up on the screen.
