You tricked me into raising your son? You'll divorce me and become my aunt.

Ruan Ning opened her phone's photo album and found pictures of her cat.

Tangyuan has clean fur, a cute and adorable appearance, and heterochromatic eyes, making it a very distinctive feature.

Upon seeing Tangyuan's photo, Shao Xun said gently, "Your cat is very cute."

Ruan Ning pursed her lips. "Thank you."

Shao Xun gently reminded, "Write down the cat's breed, coat color, age, time and place of disappearance, as well as your contact information and reward details. The more detailed the information, the faster we can find it."

Ruan Ning nodded. "Okay."

It was almost 10 p.m. by the time the missing cat posters were printed and put up.

After a whole night of fussing, Ruan Ning still hadn't had dinner.

She turned to look at Shao Xun.

"Brother Shao Xun, thank you for tonight. Have you eaten?" Ruan Ning asked sincerely, pointing to the Chinese restaurant open by the roadside. "Let me treat you to dinner as a small token of my gratitude."

Shao Xun was slightly taken aback, then smiled faintly, "Okay."

The restaurant has a great ambiance, with simple yet elegant decor and soft lighting.

The two found an empty seat by the window and sat down. The waiter handed them the menu.

Shao Xun was very gentlemanly, maintaining appropriate boundaries throughout, neither overly enthusiastic nor distant or perfunctory.

He pushed the menu towards Ruan Ning, saying, "You order."

Ruan Ning asked, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Shao Xun: "No."

"it is good."

Ruan Ning ordered three simple home-style dishes and a soup.

The dishes were all served in no time.

Both of them had excellent table manners, eating quietly without saying a word.

After the meal, Ruan Ning was about to pay the bill when the waiter told her that she had already paid.

Ruan Ning was slightly taken aback and looked at Shao Xun. "Brother Shao Xun, I promised to treat you to dinner, why are you paying the bill?"

"How can we let a lady pay the bill?" The man smiled gently, his voice as clear and pure as a mountain spring.

He was always a refined gentleman, gentle and elegant.

Ruan Ning said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Shao Xun, you're too kind. You helped me tonight, so I should treat you."

Shao Xun said gently, "It's alright."

Ruan Ning didn't want to owe him a favor, so she said, "Then I'll treat you next time."

Shao Xun did not refuse and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay."

The two walked out of the restaurant.

Shao Xun came up with an idea: "By the way, you can also post a video of searching for the cat on a short video platform. Short video platforms have high traffic now, so if you invest some money to buy traffic, you should get news soon."

Ruan Ning's eyes lit up. "That's right, I didn't even think of that method."

"Hmm, you can give it a try," Shao Xun said. "Don't be too sad. The kitten knows you miss it and will come back to you."

Ruan Ning said softly, "Yes, thank you, Brother Shao Xun. Actually, it wasn't lost; Fu Tingchen threw it away."

Shao Xun was somewhat surprised. "Why would he do that?"

"They say the kitten scratched Bai Xinyao, but I've had this cat for two years, and it's always been very well-behaved and has never scratched anyone."

Shao Xun remained silent for a moment.

Although he met Fu Tingchen later, he already knew about Bai Xinyao.

Sometimes when they get together with their friends, Ji Nanfeng, another friend of Fu Tingchen, often talks about Bai Xinyao.

Shao Xun overheard their conversation and learned that Fu Tingchen hadn't let go of Bai Xinyao even after being married for so long.

"I understand." Shao Xun's voice was gentle. "The little life that has been with us for so long is no longer just a pet, but a source of emotional support."

Ruan Ning was slightly taken aback.

In the eyes of her husband of three years, Tangyuan was nothing more than a cat that could be thrown away at will, without any consideration for her feelings.

But with Shao Xun, she felt understood and empathized.

-

It was already 11 p.m. when I got back to Yunjin Residence.

Ruan Ning pushed open the bedroom door and saw that Fu Tingchen had already taken a shower and gone to bed.

He rarely came home before, and Ruan Ning slept alone in the master bedroom.

But he was home tonight. Ruan Ning frowned, stepped out, and went to the next room.

The next day.

Ruan Ning finished getting ready and went downstairs to go to work.

Just as she entered the living room, Fu Tingchen called out to her, "Ruan Ning."

Ruan Ning: "What's up?"

Fu Tingchen asked, "Where are you going?"

"work."

Fu Tingchen frowned, his expression displeased. "Didn't I tell you not to go to work and to stay home as a full-time housewife?"

Ruan Ning sneered, "A full-time housewife who can't even keep her own cat?"

Fu Tingchen choked, "I've already explained about the cat, it..."

Ruan Ning didn't have the patience to listen to him finish and interrupted him directly, "Alright, stop talking, I'm going to be late for work."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Bai Xinyao stood at the top of the stairs; she had heard the entire conversation between the two of them.

It's a good thing for Ruan Ning to go to work, as it means she'll have more time to be alone with Fu Tingchen.

At this moment, Fu Zishuo ran out of the small room next door and hugged Bai Xinyao tightly, "Mom, good morning."

Bai Xinyao looked down at Fu Zishuo, "Shuoshuo, would you like to stay with your grandparents for a while?"

Fu Zishuo shook his head and pouted, "No, I want to live with my mom."

Bai Xinyao squatted down and coaxed, "Shuoshuo, be good. Go stay with your grandparents for a while, and Mommy will buy you new toys."

Fu Zishuo's eyes lit up when he heard about the new toy. "Great!"

On her way to work, Ruan Ning thought about how her cat had been lost and decided she no longer wanted to live in Yunjinju.

She called her divorce lawyer and told him that Fu Tingchen had signed the divorce agreement and that Jin Manrong had promised to help her get a smooth divorce.

"My mother-in-law promised to help me get a divorce. Can I stop collecting evidence of his infidelity now?"

Attorney Lin advised, "Ms. Ruan, just in case, we should prepare for both possibilities. If Ms. Jin fails to fulfill her promises, we will still have to resort to divorce litigation in the end."

"All right."

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Ning thought about it for a while and then thought of someone.

She made a phone call.

"Help me gather evidence of Fu Tingchen's extramarital affair."

-

three days later.

Just before lunchtime, Ruan Ning received a private message from a netizen.

The other person said they saw a white kitten with heterochromia, which looked very similar to the one she posted in her video.

Ruan Ning was overjoyed. She carefully inquired about the specific location, added the other party on WeChat, and transferred 1,000 yuan as a reward.

After getting off work at noon, Ruan Ning immediately rushed to the location mentioned by netizens to find the cat.

It was a small park not far from where the cat was lost.

Ruan Ning went over and had only been in the park for a short while when she saw Tangyuan.

The kitten, round and chubby with dirty white fur, was being fed cat treats by passersby.

Ruan Ning approached, then paused.

That passerby was actually...
