The Three Elders had invited Murong Yun over to discuss a few updates at greater length.
Murong Yun was not around, Guang Yao was asleep, Luo Qianqian was so bored, she loitered at the yard trying to keep herself entertained.
She meant to train martial arts with Feng Qing and showed him what she had learned from Master Lingtian recently, but Feng Qing turned her down for the reason that her wrist was still injured and she needed to rest.
Hearing that, Luo Qianqian pouted, she needed to occupy herself with something.
Luo Qianqian paced back and forth in the yard, trying to figure out what else she could do. Then she realized Murong Yun had collected some books on the table, normally she didn’t like reading or studying, but she was just too bored now.
Luo Qianqian walked back to the room and opened a book while Feng Qing was practising martial arts in the yard.
“Meow~”
“Meow~”
“Your Highness!”
Luo Qianqian raised her head on hearing Feng Qing’s calling, what met her eyes was a white fur ball leaping in through the window.
Luo Qianqian smiled subconsciously, the cat landed on the floor thus Luo Qianqian got a chance to take a close look at this cat.
It was a chubby white ball of sunshine, it held a rose bud in its mouth.
“Hi kitten~” Luo Qianqian rose to her feet gently, trying to get closer to the cat.
Feng Qing stormed into the room and charged at the cat.
“Are you all right, Your Highness, don’t worry, I get the cat.”
Seeing Feng Qing’s posture, the cat jumped into Luo Qianqian’s chest.
“Your Highness, we don’t know whose cat this is, please be careful.” Feng Qing urged.
As much as Luo Qianqian liked the cat, she knew she needed to be careful at someone else’s turf. Luo Qianqian was going to put the cat beside the window, but the cat tilted its head and put the rose bud in its mouth on Luo Qianqian’s sleeve.
That was so heart-melting.
“Meow~” the cat rubbed itself against Luo Qianqian’s arms.
“Aww, is this flower for me? You sweet little kitten~” Luo Qianqian didn’t even realize her tone was so gentle when she talked to the cat.
Seeing that, Feng Qing stood transfixed to the ground, he knew no way he could separate Her Highness with the fur ball any more.
“Ha, Feng Qing, I think we are being over cautious, what can a little cat do to us, right? Right, Miss Fluffy?” Luo Qianqian was talking to Feng Qing, but she couldn’t take her eyes off — apparently she had given the cat a name — Miss Fluffy.
Feng Qing knew he didn’t stand a chance to win here.
The cat seemed to like Luo Qianqian a lot, it kept rubbing itself against Luo Qianqian and Luo Qianqian kept talking to her like the cat could understand her.
“Hui, where are you? Hui?”
“Hui~”
Gu Lina knocked on the door, she looked anxious and when she saw the cat in Luo Qianqian’s chest, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Luo Qianqian tapped the cat’s nose, “Ah~ your name is Hui, not Miss Fluffy~”
Hui licked Luo Qianqian’s finger gently.
“You cheeky little kitten, your owner is here, we need to say goodbye now.”
Feng Qing stopped Gu Lina at the door.
“I know this is Deputy Master’s room, is Deputy Master in the room?” Gu Lina craned her neck to peer.
“What can I do for you, Miss?” Feng Qing barred Gu Lina at the door.
A touch of displeasure flashed across Gu Lina’s eyes, but soon she concealed it. She kept pointing inside the room and said, “My cat, my cat is in the room.”
Gu Lina dared not to offend Feng Qing for she knew Feng Qing was Murong Yun’s trusted follower, if she wanted to approach Murong Yun and impress Murong Yun she needed to be on good terms with people who work for Murong Yun.
Feng Qing nodded and said he would get the cat for her.
A tall and slender figure emerged at the door.
Gu Lina glared at the person and asked, “You… why are you…”
Gu Lina knew this wasn’t Luo Qianqian’s room.
Luo Qianqian looked Gu Lina up and down who was all dolled up and she knew what this was all about.
“Miss Gu, yes, it’s me, you have something you want to say to me?” Luo Qianqian’s lips twitched.
Gu Lina gnashed her teeth, she was so embarrassed now, she had racked her brains in scheming to get into Murong Yun’s room, but Luo Qianqian was just hanging out in Murong Yun’s room like it were her own room.
Gu Lina’s facial expressions didn’t escape Luo Qianqian, she said, “I will finish your sentence for you, Miss Gu, you are asking me what am I doing here in your Deputy Master’s room, right?”
Silence was the response.
Luo Qianqian took one step forward and patted the kitten in her chest, “This cat, Hui, it was you who has put her beside the window, yeah?”
Gu Lina turned pale, ‘Did she see me when I did that?’
Luo Qianqian continued, “Hmm, I will take this silence as a yes. But why would you put your cat beside your Deputy Master’s window? You want to use your cat as an excuse to enter this room, don’t you? And why would you want to enter this room? You want to have a chance to talk to him? And why is that, Miss Gu?”
Gu Lina turned pale and red by turns in an agony of embarrassment, ‘Can this girl read my mind? It looks like I have underestimated her.’
“I… I don’t know what you are talking about, Miss Luo. My cat runs away, you know what cats do, they are playful by nature, I don’t know why she would end up coming to this room.” Gu Lina made a lame excuse.
“Hui, come on, come to me.” Gu Lina waved at the cat in Luo Qianqian’s chest.
Luo Qianqian put Hui on the ground and said, “Bye, little kitten.”
Hui walked to Gu Lina reluctantly and all of a sudden, she turned around and ran towards Luo Qianqian.
The next second Hui jumped into Luo Qianqian’s chest again.
