Thinking that he was allergic to pollen, Qiao Xi passed the flower to Uncle Liu and carried it upstairs. She picked up the kitten on the ground. "Teacher Shen, you're holding it. It's very cute."
"Take it away."
"This is a small male cat."
Seeing that his expression had eased up quite a bit, Qiao Xi put the kitten on the man's knee. The kitten obediently sat on his leg, wagging its fluffy little tail.
She carefully observed Shen Yeyan's expression and quietly said, "I'm sorry. I lied to you. Actually, it was a little female cat."
Hearing it was a female cat, Shen Ye's expression changed. He raised his hand and pushed the cat down from his knees. His eyes showed hostility as he said, "Qiao Xi, are you messing with me?"
"Mister Shen, this is the treatment you need."
She had clearly seen it earlier. When Shen Yeyan heard that it was the female cat that was enraged, he completely rejected it mentally and rejected all females.
Qiao Xi held the kitten in his arms as he stood in front of her. He suddenly stood up and looked at her maliciously. "Qiao Xi!" "You better be able to cure me, or else …"
"Or do you want to kill me?"
She made a playful gesture of wiping her neck. When Shen Yeyan's gaze fell on her slender white neck, he thought back to that night when he was drunk and devouring a woman's neck …
As his breathing became heavier, Shen Yeyan was startled by his own thoughts and almost had a reaction.
The man's expression turned even worse. He turned around and walked upstairs. For some reason, Qiao Xi followed behind with the two kittens in her arms.
"Mister Shen, you should have some time tonight. Let's start the treatment and take up a very short amount of time."
"No time!" He just wanted to get away from where she was.
She turned a deaf ear to his words. "Today, we will switch to another treatment. It will not take up too much of your time."
Shen Yeyan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped in his tracks. Qiao Xi, who had his head lowered, was playing with the cat, nearly ran into him. Luckily, he stopped a few centimeters away from him.
Shen Ye An turned his head and swept his gaze over the meowing kitten in her arms. "It's best for your cat to stay away from me."
"Threatening me?"
Chuckling coldly, Shen Yeyan's voice was terrifyingly dark as he said, "I don't need to threaten you."
Qiao Xi looked at him without fear. "Don't you think that you are very pitiful? As the richest man, he can't even get close to his own mother, let alone his future lover. "
Her voice was neither loud nor low, but each word smashed into his chest. The man's handsome face was covered with black clouds, and he was so angry that his chest violently heaved up and down.
Qiao Xi sighed helplessly. From the bottom of his heart, he felt pity for Shen Yenan. So what if he was the richest? He wasn't as happy as an ordinary person.
"Mister Shen, I really want to heal you. I hope you can cooperate."
"Miss Qiao, as long as you obediently follow me and get the salary, it's fine."
The man narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction, giving off a rather warning tone. However, Qiao Xi completely ignored him. "Sorry, my conscience will be uneasy."
He laughed coldly as if he had heard a joke. Then, he turned around and walked towards the study room. She jogged after him.
Shen Yeyan's study was very large. It looked like a small drawing room. There were two bookshelves on each side of the wall that were filled with books.
He sat behind the class' table with a tense expression, while Qiao Xi held the cat and sat opposite to him.
Qiao Xi placed the cat on the table. The kitten crawled back and forth on the table, next to his hand. Shen Ye An pushed it away a few times, but the kitten continued to move closer to him.
He held himself back as the kitten climbed up his shoulder. Shen Yeyan's face darkened and he raised his hand to lift it.
"Mister Shen, don't you think that the little guy is very cute?"
There was also a cat in Qiao Xi's arms. The cat had its paws on her white palm, while the kitten was rubbing against her chest. A few strands of white fur landed on her chest.
The woman's slender fingers stroked the cat's head, and the kitten snuggled up to her in a very docile manner. He paused for a moment, and the kitten jumped down from his shoulder onto his lap and sat down obediently.
His body was slightly stiff, but the kitten was still rubbing against his chest.
"Mister Shen, try to let go of the tangled feelings in your heart. I don't know what you experienced in the past, but it is already the past."
"I didn't experience anything." the man said firmly.
"Fine." Ye Zichen rolled his eyes and didn't feel like arguing anymore.
He didn't want to say, "It doesn't matter, she can wait. Let's see who can last longer."
The kitten sat on Shen Ye An's lap. He did not have too much rejection or discomfort, but refused to interact with it. Qiao Xi did not force him.
"Mister Shen, you did very well today. You have already made great progress."
"Miss Qiao, are you sure you can cure me?"
Seeing him loosen his mouth, Qiao Xi secretly rejoiced and hurriedly encouraged him. "If Mr. Shen is willing to cooperate, then the hope is still very high. You must believe in yourself."
The man glanced at her. "I don't believe you."
"…"
He patted the place where it crawled past and said, "I'm waiting for Miss Qiao's performance. I won't care about the cat matter, but this is the last time. Don't bring the female creature into the villa."
"Mister Shen, you're afraid of all the females. I just don't know if you'll still be able to eat if you meet a female's lamb or beef?"
He crossed his legs and looked at her from behind the table. "Miss Qiao, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent."
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Shen. I will continue to maintain it."
The man said arrogantly, "This is my territory!"
"Mr. Shen is threatening me again. I'm just a small fry and I don't have much guts. Don't scare me."
Qiao Xi's sudden weakness surprised Shen Yeyan. With a smile, she carried the cat to the door and softly said good night to him.
His fingertips slightly paused as a wave of warmth inexplicably flowed out, causing one's entire body to feel comfortable.
Qiao Xi closed the door and left. He still looked at the door, but this doctor was different from before. Leaving her behind would not only be giving face to the old tutor, but also seeing what sort of person she was.
The incident at the hotel that night left a knot in his heart. To think that there would be a woman in this world that would not make him allergic, it was truly surprising.
