As soon as those words came out, everyone’s expressions became especially colorful.
Li Xiaoyun and Zhou Jia exchanged a glance, Du Qingqing held Xixi in her arms and frowned slightly, instinctively turning toward Chi Yan.
His expression was normal, his smile warm as ever. Only Fu Shilin looked particularly awful.
【Hahahahahahaha I’m dying, serves Fu Shilin right for being so arrogant. Instant karma!】
【Aaaaaaaa I can’t take it anymore, why is the director spoiling that stinky cat so much!!】
【What’s the difference between that stinky cat and a human brat?!!】
【Exactly, if not for that stupid cat, our A’Lin wouldn’t be this upset!!】
【Hahahahaha I’m so happy, thank you Wanwan, you’re the cutest kitten in the world!!!】
【Guys, is it just me or did you notice, Qingqing immediately turned to look at Brother Chi when she heard the grouping!!】
【Does she know Brother Chi wrote her name in the envelope too? Ahhh I’m shipping it!!】
But no matter what the guests thought inside, the results had already been announced. They could only accept them.
Soon, everyone began heading to their designated locations with their pets.
Fu Shilin was so angry his fists tightened. Coming from a wealthy family, his stepmother had always treated him with extreme respect. You could say he’d never suffered this kind of humiliation since the day he was born!
He was almost certain that mongrel Chi Yan must have done something to ruin his plans.
But he had no evidence. Even if he wanted to cause trouble for Chi Yan, he couldn’t.
All he could do was yank Qiu Tian toward the car in frustration. His grip was so hard that Qiu Tian felt uncomfortable, let out two low whines, and refused to move.
This only made Fu Shilin angrier. Ignoring the camera, he suddenly kicked Qiu Tian.
“What is your problem?!
“It’s not like I haven’t fed you! If you hate being with me so much, then go follow someone else! See if anyone would want you!!
“An animal is just an animal!!”
The cameraman behind him didn’t expect this at all. His face went pale as he hurriedly cut the livestream. “Teacher Fu, you—!!”
Fu Shilin snorted coldly. “What, me?! Watch your mouth. Know what you should and shouldn’t say. If I hear anything gets out that shouldn’t, don’t even think about keeping your job!!”
The cameraman and staff were furious but didn’t dare speak.
Seeing them shrink back, Fu Shilin regained some sense of superiority and sneered, “Was the livestream cut just now?!”
“It was.”
The cameraman and staff exchanged a look, took a deep breath, and lowered their heads, swallowing their anger given his background.
But after a moment, the cameraman still couldn’t help saying, “Teacher Fu, please be more mindful of your behavior. We’re still live.”
Of course Fu Shilin knew that, but he would never show weakness in front of them.
“Do I need you to remind me?
“If I could watch myself at all times, I wouldn’t need a cameraman. What are you even here for?!”
As he spoke, he gave them a lofty, superior look.
The cameraman and staff could only endure him, though their eyes nearly rolled out of their heads the moment he turned away.
They really didn’t understand how someone like him even became popular. Were his fans blind?!
【Weird… did anyone else’s livestream just lag?】
【Oh right, mine lagged too—I thought it was my internet.】
【If everyone lagged then it’s not our problem, must be the show’s equipment.】
【Wait—none of the other guests’ livestreams lagged, only A’Lin’s!! They’re targeting him!!】
【I’m dying, ‘lag,’ sure… nice excuse for your idol】
【Obviously Fu Shilin did something they couldn’t broadcast, so the cameraman had to cut the feed】
【Shh upstairs, let his fans keep deluding themselves】
【Sometimes I really wanna tell them—Fu Shilin fans, eat something decent】
【You’re starving if you can swallow anything. Can’t watch, shaking my head.jpg】
Meanwhile—
The kitten was feeling guilty. After getting in the car, she sat obediently beside Chi Yan.
She thought the matter had blown over, but unexpectedly, the man’s pale, slender fingers casually brushed the fur at the back of her neck. In a low voice, he asked, “What did you do?”
He wasn’t stupid.
He had clearly handed in his envelope, yet when the director announced the results, his name wasn’t called. And thinking back, the cat had also conveniently disappeared during that time.
Others might think it was coincidence, that the cat wasn’t that smart or human-like.
But Chi Yan had already figured her out. She was that smart.
Uh oh.
Li Wan froze.
Wait, wasn’t her two-legger supposed to not have a phone? How did he know what she’d done?!
Following the principle of ‘if I don’t admit it, it has nothing to do with me,’ she let out a soft *meow,* and sweetly pressed her furry little head into his palm.
—”Not the kitty’s fault, meow~”
But in the next instant, the man’s hand mercilessly moved away, clearly rejecting her attempt to get close.
Li Wan lifted her head and looked over at the two-legger, only to see that the man’s dark peach-blossom eyes had turned cold.
The little cat froze.
Her two-legger… seemed angry…
Ah.
Li Wan furrowed her delicate kitty brows and slowly tried to rub her soft, fluffy body against him to bribe her butler.
But the man still didn’t react.
Their relationship, in the blink of an eye, seemed to have returned to how it was when they first met.
Even when getting out of the car, Chi Yan didn’t reach out to hold her; he had the staff lift her down instead.
【Eh? He’s sulking now】
【Why are they having a cold war?】
【Mind your wording upstairs, it’s not a cold war. It’s Brother Chi, this capricious two-legger, being mad at our Wanwan all by himself】
【Exactly! Our Wanwan is trying to make peace, but this man won’t even give her a step down!!】
【He’s not giving our little kitty any face!!】
【Hahahahaha, this was supposed to be a serious, discussable issue, but now they just look like two little kids】
【They ARE! I’m a Chi Yan fan, but I must speak up—he’s being way too petty!!】
【What did the kitten do wrong! She was just a little playful!!】
Chi Yan truly was a little angry.
Li Wan tried rubbing herself against him several more times, even pawing at him with her soft, fluffy mangosteen-like paws.
But the man remained cold and distant, shifting away as if he didn’t even want to look at her.
No way…
Li Wan frowned her tiny brows.
She did mess up his plan, BUT!
The two-legger didn’t even like Mama Qingqing in the first place! If he still went to flirt with her, wouldn’t that be scummy behavior?!
And yet he was angry.
What a petty man!
He was clearly the one in the wrong!
But honestly, even when this stupid two-legger was angry, he was still handsome.
Those peach-blossom eyes were indifferent, and the gentle, jade-like aura he usually wore faded a little, making his features look even sharper.
Handsome, but petty.
Li Wan decided—she would be angry too!
She flicked her ears and turned her back to him, looking cold and aloof. The tip of her soft, fluffy tail swayed slightly.
Even her back looked round and puffed up with anger, like a little soft, fragrant bread that had risen too much.
【Hahahahaha, as expected of our kitty, even her anger is adorable!】
【Aaaaaaa!! Brother Chi, you’re really ungrateful, our kitty already tried to reconcile!!】
【Fine fine fine, just wait until later when YOU have to coax the kitten back】
【Someone brought this upon himself, humph】
【Hahahahaha am I the only one who thinks Brother Chi being sulky with the cat is adorable?!】
【Chi Yan, I knew I judged you right👍】
The human and the cat sat in silence all the way back to the program villa.
When they got out of the car, Li Xiaoyun and Zhou Jia were already back, and Yueya and Dahuang had been washed clean.
Chi Yan was still ice-cold, obviously unwilling to pay attention to the little cat. The staff exchanged glances, trying hard not to laugh.
They never expected the elegant Movie Emperor, who looked like a refined ancient gentleman, to have such childish moments.
Sulking with a cat, no less.
As they thought this, they approached to pick Li Wan up.
But the little cat shook her head and refused.
Hmph!
She would show a certain petty, hairless, tail-less two-legger that she could live just fine without the stupid human!!
She pushed the staff’s hand away with her soft little paw and jumped down.
But unexpectedly, Dahuang had already been eyeing her!
*Woof woof woof woof!*
—”Pretty kitty pretty kitty!! Kiss kiss kiss kiss!!!”
Da Huang charged toward her wagging his tail like a propeller. The moment the little cat met his gaze, she knew exactly what he wanted, and instantly remembered having her head licked wet last time!!
*Meow meow meow meow meow!!*
Li Wan’s pupils shrank, and she instinctively looked around for a place to hide, but there was nothing nearby—
She shut her eyes in resignation.
Damn it, this cat had just taken a bath!!
But in the next second, her body suddenly lifted off the ground. Someone picked her up.
The little cat froze.
Li Wan blinked her wet, mismatched eyes and looked up, meeting the cold peach-blossom eyes of her own butler.
But cold or not, he still picked her up in time.
