After spitting out the wine in its mouth, Qing Guang looked up and stuck out its pink tongue to complain to Xia Houqing,

“Meow, meow, meow!”

How could he let a cat drink wine?!

The man and cat looked at each other again.

Xia Houqing sat upright again, his thin lips pursed. The blush on his cheeks deepened, as if he had been dyed in rouge.

“You don’t like it?” Xia Houqing asked gently. He looked obedient but also a little uneasy.

Cats had always been the type to push their luck. Once Xia Houqing took a step back, Qing Guang took another step forward. Its arrogance increased as it waved its claws at Xia Houqing.

“Meow, meow, meow, meow!”

After meowing unhappily, it felt that its mouth was choked and bitter. It was still unhappy, so it scratched his sleeve, rubbed its face on him, and wiped its mouth. Its pink flesh stepped on his sleeve until it was covered in wet plum blossom marks.

As the tip of its claw brushed against the sleeve cloth, the cat was surprised to find that the claw of the material embedded with gold thread felt quite good.

Its eyes lit up instantly, and it excitedly scratched his cuff with the tip of its claw. In a few moves, it scratched his exquisite and gorgeous sleeve into a jagged “tassel.”

“…” Gu Yanfei loosened her grip on the hilt of her sword and was speechless.

Was this cat raised astray?

She shook her head, her gaze darting back and forth between the cat and the man.

Xia Houqing looked down at his left sleeve that had been scratched by the cat, and his red thin lips twitched.

Her pupils constricted rapidly, and the shadows in her eyes deepened, revealing pain and conflict.

Veins popped up on his forehead as he bit the tip of his tongue.

The taste of blood in his mouth made a hint of clarity flash in his chaotic eyes.

With almost all his strength, he forced his gaze slowly away from those jewel-beautiful cat eyes.

Not good! Alarm bells rang in Gu Yanfei’s heart. She quickly picked up the cat that was sharpening its claws on Xia Houqing’s sleeve and turned to leave without hesitation.

When the attendant guarding outside the private room saw that Xia Houqing didn’t move, he only thought that he had agreed and didn’t dare to stop Gu Yanfei and her servant.

Gu Yanfei was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, she ran to the stairs before she heard a male voice from the private seat behind her. “Get back here!”

Only a fool would go back! Gu Yanfei didn’t even turn around. She carried the cat and went downstairs briskly, with Juan Bi following closely behind.

Tianyin Pavilion was quiet and empty. From the second floor to the first floor, there was no one.

The actors and musicians were no longer on the stage, and the guests who had come to watch the show had disappeared. Only the half-eaten bowls, chopsticks, cups, and plates were still on the table.

No wonder it was suddenly quiet just now.

A haggard old man with white hair blocked her path with his arm. It was Old Qi.

Gu Yanfei was calm and composed as she smiled. “Are you sure you want to stop me?”

Old Qi returned his gaze expressionlessly and remained motionless.

Gu Yanfei looked up with the calico cat in her arms and accurately saw Xia Houqing, who was sitting in a private seat on the second floor.

His eyes shot out a demonic gaze that seemed to want to devour her. A red sleeve hung from the window. The original new sleeve was scratched by the cat until it looked like it was decorated with a string of tassels.

It was incompatible with his neat clothes and accessories, like a big red peony flower that had been forcefully scratched off by a cat.

Gu Yanfei looked up at him with a hint of laziness, mischief, and cunning. Her dark eyes were as bright as a night sky filled with stars.

Xia Houqing also looked down at Gu Yanfei. Under his half-lowered eyelashes, his eyes were darker and deeper. There was no trace of a smile, and his emotions were unknown.

They stared at each other for a moment, as if in a silent contest.

Xia Houqing waved his left sleeve, and the “tassel” sleeve hid behind the window sill. Old Qi immediately retreated and disappeared into the shadows.

“See you next time.”

Gu Yanfei waved goodbye without hesitation and continued walking forward.

In a good mood, she grabbed the cat and saw that there was still a strand of gold wire hooked in its paw. Her eyes curved, and she praised the cat with a smile. ‘Well done. ‘

“Meow?” The calico cat blinked in confusion. It actually didn’t know what she was praising it for, but it agreed righteously.

It felt like it had always been capable!

Without it, it’s useless master wouldn’t be able to do anything!

The cat raised its head in both pride and contempt.

Gu Yanfei casually placed the cat on her shoulder and let it lie on her shoulder.

As she walked along the street, she pondered over the pulse she had just felt..
