The girl looked just like a soft little kitten.
Sister Chen quietly observed the girl.
She had seen many good-looking people in the entertainment industry, but someone as striking as this girl, there was only her.
This was the ‘cat-like girl’ who had gone viral online recently.
In that brief moment, ten thousand ideas flashed through Sister Chen’s mind about how to package her and make her famous.
But that wasn’t the most important thing right now.
Sister Chen fixed her sharp gaze on Chi Yan. “What is going on with you?!”
Chi Yan fell silent. He really had nothing to explain. In the end, he could only spread his hands. “She’s just a little friend. She’s going to stay at my place for a while.”
Sister Chen was not satisfied with this explanation.
But she understood Chi Yan’s personality. If he didn’t want to talk, no one could pry a word out of him.
With no other choice, she could only swallow her questions for the time being, but she still warned him: “Even though your fans aren’t strongly against you dating, you’re still a public figure. You need to be careful.”
Chi Yan nodded vaguely.
Sister Chen brought the phone she bought for Li Wan. The little kitten clearly brightened up upon receiving it.
Living at her uncle’s home, she’d always been short on money. She had never used such an expensive phone!
Her human is so nice!
Thank you, human!!
The little kitten happily hugged the phone and played with it for a while, completely unaware that Sister Chen’s gaze had been lingering on her the entire time.
She really was adorable, heart-piercingly so.
Just like a kitten, making people want to bury their face in her soft little belly and take a huge sniff.
A girl like this… no wonder even Chi Yan kept her by his side.
…To be honest, she didn’t believe for a second that there was ‘nothing going on’ between them.
Who was Chi Yan? Did she not know?
This guy would never act so relaxed around a girl who had ‘nothing to do’ with him.
Tsk.
Noticing her staring, Chi Yan shifted slightly, intentionally moving to block her line of sight.
“……”
Sister Chen immediately let out a dry laugh.
“Didn’t you say there was nothing between you? Chi Yan, you know my eye for people is excellent. Otherwise, how could I have made someone like you a Movie Emperor?
“You let her follow me, and I can make her just as famous as you.”
Chi Yan rejected it without hesitation: “She doesn’t need to enter the entertainment industry.”
Since the little kitten had been adopted by him, she was already family. He could support her for a lifetime, even if she had now turned into a human.
If she got used to human society later and wanted to work, that was fine, but absolutely not in the entertainment industry.
It wasn’t a good place.
Sister Chen snorted again.
Look at that. He protects her like this, and yet he claims there’s nothing between them.
Chi Yan understood what she meant, but his eyes stayed calm and he didn’t explain further.
Sister Chen didn’t pursue the topic. She sighed. “Forget it. You have your own thoughts.
“You’ve finished your last drama. Next, you only have promotional work. For the pet variety show, you’ll need to mention it when it airs.
“I’ve also brought a few scripts for you to look through. Choose one and get back to me soon.”
Chi Yan nodded.
While they were talking business, Li Wan couldn’t join in. Very sensibly, she lowered the TV volume and wandered into the kitchen to cut a small plate of fruit.
When she brought it over, Sister Chen instinctively glanced at her.
The little kitten, now a girl, felt a bit guilty. She blinked at her, then realized and gave a soft smile.
Sister Chen couldn’t help but return the smile.
Li Wan could read people well. Having grown up living under someone else’s roof, she was more sensitive to others’ moods than most.
She knew Sister Chen hadn’t liked her at first, thinking she might cause trouble for Chi Yan.
Now that she suddenly gained Sister Chen’s approval, the little kitten was delighted. She decided not to mind the previous negative feelings.
The little kitten had such a good personality!!
Li Wan couldn’t help praising herself. With nothing else to do, she ran back to the kitchen again.
She was quite good at cooking. Back at her uncle’s house, her aunt always found faults with her. When she first cooked, her aunt said it tasted bad.
Her uncle, stuck in the middle, was always awkward, so Li Wan tried harder. Later, her aunt never complained again.
She looked into the fridge. Fortunately, because Chi Yan usually cooked for himself, Assistant Xiao Li always prepared ingredients and seasonings very thoroughly.
Considering Sister Chen was here, she decided to make a few extra dishes.
But before she could even finish shredding the potatoes, her human walked in. “You know how to cook?”
The little kitten puffed up proudly, completely unaware of how shocking it was for a creature who had only been in this world for two months, and had just turned human, to be able to cook.
“I do!”
“Butler—” Li Wan instantly sensed that this form of address wasn’t appropriate in front of the butler himself, so she quickly switched: “Brother Chi Yan, you can ask for anything you want to eat.”
The little kitten knew how to cook many dishes!
A faint, unreadable emotion flashed through Chi Yan’s eyes, and then his lips curled lightly.
“So impressive.
“Just make a little. It’s only the two of us eating.”
Li Wan poked her head out. “What about Sister Chen?”
Chi Yan: “She went back.”
Although he had worked with Sister Chen for a long time, their private relationship wasn’t as good as that between other artists and their managers.
“Okay then.”
The little kitten didn’t get discouraged. She withdrew her gaze, and the potato shreds she cut were as thin as needles.
Noticing that her butler was still watching her, Li Wan blinked her eyes, lifted her head, and flashed him another smile.
Soft and fluffy.
It overlapped again with the image of her cat form.
Chi Yan’s eyes shifted slightly, but before he could speak, his phone rang.
He glanced down at the caller ID, and his expression instantly returned to its usual coldness—colder, even.
“I’m going to take a call.”
With that, he turned and walked out.
Li Wan blinked, not understanding who could make this big villain’s expression change so much. She stood on tiptoe, ears perked.
“…Mom.”
She couldn’t hear much of what came after, but she could feel very clearly the emotions hidden in that one word.
Chi Yan didn’t seem very happy.
Li Wan froze for a moment, remembering the plot of the original story.
She didn’t know what that mother, who had abandoned her own son, wanted now.
Li Wan frowned.
No.
A little kitty should protect her weak, helpless butler. She had to go see what was going on.
The little cat tiptoed over, secretly poked her head out to eavesdrop.
Hmm…
She couldn’t hear a single word.
Damn it!!
