Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Gu Yizhou: Xiaobai, you’re pregnant???

That’s right!

Yan Luoxi planned to run next door and see if there was anything to eat.

She had previously instructed her assistant, Bai Jie, to have someone restock the house with fresh food every day.

She hadn’t been over there to check today, so she didn’t know if there was anything edible.

Yan Luoxi used her ’Feline Bone-Shrinking Technique’ and expertly slipped out through the small hole in the door.

After arriving next door, Yan Luoxi once again skillfully stood up on her hind legs and pressed the security code with her fluffy pink paws.

If anyone had seen this, their jaw would have dropped to the floor!

Fortunately, no one else saw her.

CLICK~

The door opened. Yan Luoxi pushed it open just a crack, then darted inside in a flash.

After she went in, the main door automatically swung shut.

She made her way to the kitchen and dining area.

On the dining table, she found a food cover.

Her eyes lit up!

With a light leap, she jumped onto the dining table.

Once again, she used all her might to pry off the cover.

On the table was a prepared steak, among other things.

Yan Luoxi stuck her head closer and gave it a sniff.

’It hasn’t gone bad!’

’Looks like it was probably delivered last night.’

’It’s just completely cold by now.’

There was a microwave in the kitchen.

’But in my current state, there’s no way I can use it.’

Yan Luoxi stared at the steak before her, wondering if she should eat it or not.

She remembered that stinking jerk had said it before.

Cats can’t eat salt or greasy food.

’I’m a cat right now. Will something happen if I eat it?’

She was extremely conflicted.

GRUMBLE...

Her stomach growled again.

Yan Luoxi steeled her heart.

She decided to eat it.

’Who knows when that stinking jerk will be back.’

’I can’t just starve to death!’

No sooner said than done!

Yan Luoxi stretched out her two front paws, held the steak, and started gnawing on it.

’Hm?’

’It’s a little cold, but this steak still tastes pretty good.’

’Way better than that stupid cat food!’

Yan Luoxi relished every bite of the steak.

In just a few moments, she had devoured the entire steak in a few quick bites.

BURP~

"Meow~!"

Yan Luoxi let out a full burp, meowed, and then lay down on the dining table with a satisfied look on her face.

’A glass of red wine right now would make this perfect!’

She suddenly started craving the taste of red wine paired with steak.

Yan Luoxi propped herself up. She turned her head to look at the wine cabinet next to the table, which was filled with all sorts of expensive red wines, and couldn’t help but gulp.

’But the cabinet door is so high, there’s no way I can open it in my current state!’

’Besides, even if I could open the cabinet, I can’t open a wine bottle!’

So!

All she could do was stare longingly at the red wine before her.

’So close, yet so far!’

She felt absolutely miserable!

After drooling over it for a while, Yan Luoxi didn’t dare to look any longer.

She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from figuring out a way to smash the wine cabinet.

’But if I smashed it, I’d probably only get to lick up a couple of drops.’

’This is too hard!’

Helpless, Yan Luoxi had no choice but to give up on the idea of drinking red wine.

After resting for a little longer, she prepared to head back to Gu Yizhou’s place.

’I have no choice!’

’Staying here and staring at all this wine I can’t drink is just torture!’

’Out of sight, out of mind!’

She went to the door, once again performed her feline super-skill, and opened the door with a leap before slipping out.

After returning to Gu Yizhou’s apartment, she felt a little thirsty, so she found his water cup.

’Even though that dog of a man drank from it, it’s still better than drinking from that pet water fountain, right?’

’If I, Yan Luoxi, the dignified president of a hundred-billion-dollar corporation, had to drink from a pet water fountain, wouldn’t I lose all my dignity?’

After taking a few satisfying sips of water, she contentedly returned to the sofa to lie down.

’Hmph!’

’Didn’t that stinking jerk say I couldn’t eat salt?’

’How come nothing happened after I ate it!’

’Liar!’

’Big fat liar!’

’That dog of a man just wants to hog all the good food for himself!’

At that moment, Yan Luoxi’s heart was filled with resentment for Gu Yizhou.

"I head north, leaving the season of you behind..."

Just then, Gu Yizhou, who had just finished grocery shopping at the market, was riding his flashy CFMOTO 450SR, humming a little tune as he headed toward his residential complex.

On this late September afternoon, the sun was no longer as scorching as before.

An autumn breeze gently brushed past, dissipating the heat from Gu Yizhou’s body.

It felt incredibly comfortable.

Gu Yizhou rode his motorcycle onward at a leisurely pace.

Ten or so minutes later, Gu Yizhou arrived back at the Binjiang No.1 Mansion District.

Meanwhile, back in Apartment 305 of Building 7, Unit 3.

Yan Luoxi, who had been sleeping on the sofa, was suddenly jolted awake by a sharp pain.

That’s right!

Her stomach was churning, and it felt as if something was rampaging inside, wreaking havoc. It was an incredibly awful feeling.

She suddenly remembered the cold steak she had eaten earlier.

’I’m doomed!’

’This... Was what that stinking jerk said true?’

’Cats can’t eat salt or oil, or they’ll get sick!’

Right now, Yan Luoxi felt awful all over, but her stomach ache was especially excruciating!

The pain made her want to cry and roll around on the floor!

’This feeling is even more painful than period cramps!’

"Meeeow~"

Yan Luoxi was filled with regret.

She regretted not listening to that stinking jerk, Gu Yizhou.

But at the same time, she also blamed Gu Yizhou.

If Gu Yizhou had come back, she would have had something to eat and wouldn’t have been so hungry that she had to run over and eat steak!

She had already forgotten how much she had just enjoyed eating it!

And how she’d accused Gu Yizhou of hogging all the good food, like lamb chops and whatnot, for himself.

Just a moment ago, when she felt fine, she had been so smug.

But now she was starting to blame Gu Yizhou.

As expected!

You just can’t reason with a woman.

And female cats are no different!

The pain made Yan Luoxi’s entire body—er, cat body—roll around ceaselessly on the sofa...

...

Just then.

CLICK~

The main door to 305 opened, and Gu Yizhou’s handsome figure appeared in the doorway.

However, Yan Luoxi was in no state to pay any attention to that stinking jerk, Gu Yizhou!

"Hm?"

Gu Yizhou suddenly noticed Xiaobai rolling around on the sofa.

He was a little puzzled.

’Is this silly little cat being naughty?’

’Just entertaining herself?’

But the next second, he realized something was wrong!

"Meow~"

"Meeeow~"

Yan Luoxi was wailing in pain.

Gu Yizhou hurriedly ran over to her.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what’s wrong?"

Gu Yizhou asked anxiously.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, Yan Luoxi felt a surge of stomach acid rise up.

"Blech~

She rolled over and started throwing up on the floor beside her.

Gu Yizhou: "...(⊙o⊙)..."

This...

What’s going on???

Watching the scene unfold before him, Gu Yizhou was completely dumbfounded!

Suddenly!

He remembered what the young female vet at the pet hospital had said the other day—that Xiaobai was nearing her heat cycle!

Combining that with the fact that Xiaobai had been secretly sneaking out all this time...

"This... It couldn’t be morning sickness, could it?!"

Gu Yizhou mumbled to himself, "Do cats get morning sickness too???"

...
