The female lead and the villain went out alone on a date, and the livestream comments were extremely intense.
Netizens who previously thought Chi Yan and Du Qingqing had zero CP chemistry suddenly changed their minds, saying:
【I was wrong, ‘Parents CP’ is also great to ship.】
【Their personalities are so similar. Aren’t they basically a match made in heaven, wuwuwuwu】
【Don’t say it… I’ve always been against the two of them getting together because I’d be losing both my ‘husband’ and my ‘wife’, wuwuwu. But looking at them now… they really do look compatible.】
【Same here 😢 I lost my ‘husband’ and my ‘wife’ at the same time wuwuwuwuwu】
【Hahaha, why not just ship the CP together?】
Li Wan read to this point and paused, lifting her head to look at the two figures on the screen.
To be fair, the netizens weren’t wrong. Handsome man, beautiful woman, perfect height difference, they looked compatible from every angle.
But Li Wan tilted her head, realizing she wasn’t as happy about it as she imagined.
Logically speaking, with her butler’s situation, having someone as gentle as Mama Qingqing to comfort him should be the best outcome. She used to think so too.
But now…
Li Wan thought about it and decided her unhappiness must be because if Chi Yan and Mama Qingqing got together, then he wouldn’t need the little kitty as much.
After all, ever since the little kitty crossed into this world, he was the closest to her and treated her the best.
Li Wan comforted herself.
It would be great if he ended up with Mama Qingqing. Mama Qingqing really was a good person and treated her well too. Then she wouldn’t have to worry about Chi Yan being with someone else in the future and giving her a ‘stepmom.’
But the little kitty still felt down; her mood stayed gloomy until she saw Chi Yan buying a women’s necklace on screen.
They earned 400 yuan from today’s mission. Chi Yan and Du Qingqing each got 200.
Cat toys weren’t expensive; after buying hers, there would definitely be some money left for other things.
But she didn’t expect Chi Yan to buy a necklace.
The live comments blew up even more. Everyone said the necklace was for Du Qingqing. The barrage of 【I’m shipping this!!!】 nearly blinded her eyes.
And they were probably right.
Because when Chi Yan was picking the necklace, he specifically asked Du Qingqing which one looked good.
Du Qingqing seemed surprised at first, but once she recovered, she showed a shy and subtle smile.
Caught on camera, she actually looked like she was blushing.
They looked even more like a perfect pair.
Li Wan got even more upset, her nose feeling sour.
She wallowed in sadness for a while, thinking it was because Chi Yan had a girl he liked now and was forgetting his little kitty.
And also, today’s mission was completed thanks to her and Xixi braving their fear of water and fish. Some of the reward money belonged to them too.
But Chi Yan used her share… to flirt.
The more Li Wan thought about it, the gloomier she felt. She rolled across the bed and buried her head in the blanket.
But after a moment, she calmed down and weakly refuted her own thoughts.
It wasn’t quite right to say Chi Yan used her share to flirt… He did buy her a gift too; it was just a cheap little bouncing ball that cost a few dozen yuan.
He also worked hard during the mission. Using the leftover money to buy Du Qingqing a gift was reasonable.
Besides, it’s Mama Qingqing!
Mama Qingqing was so nice to her. What’s wrong with buying Mama Qingqing a gift?
Li Wan started feeling guilty again, thinking she was being too petty.
But no matter what, she just couldn’t cheer herself up. Finally, she got mad at herself and decided to punish herself by not watching the livestream anymore.
Then she scrolled through Weibo for a while, saw lots of people scolding Fu Shilin, and his reputation tanking further. Only then did she feel satisfied and managed to forget her sour mood.
Not long after, all the guests came back, and the villa got lively again.
As usual, Chi Yan watched Fu Shilin stomp around angrily for a while, then separated from the group and returned to his room.
The room was dark, he hadn’t turned on the lights. Only a sliver of streetlamp light seeped through the curtains.
Fortunately, his night vision was good. He easily avoided obstacles and reached the bed, where he spotted the little cat lying there.
Or rather, maybe he shouldn’t call her a little cat. Li Wan was currently in her girl form.
The pretty, sweet-looking girl lay curled on the bed, hair spread out, sleeping soundly. Her cheeks were flushed, and for some reason she seemed to be frowning, as if having an unpleasant dream, making her look even more childlike.
Cats had sharp senses. She seemed to detect his presence, her nose twitching slightly.
Chi Yan was utterly charmed.
Such a little cat, lying on his bed, seemed to be covered entirely in his scent, marked with something uniquely his.
The shadowy, monstrous part of him couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight.
He didn’t try to wake her. Instead, he simply stood there in the dark, quietly watching.
The little cat trusted him.
She slept peacefully in the dangerous territory of a dark monster with not a trace of fear.
This feeling made Chi Yan feel strangely warm, and irresistibly, something in his heart tingled—as if a soft, sweet cotton-candy-like flower was blooming without his permission.
But he didn’t dislike it.
But in the darkness, he quietly, meticulously savored this unexpectedly tactile sensation over and over, as if he were a devoted high school student determined to fully master a math problem.
The more he studied it, the itch in his chest intensified, even making his fangs restless.
It wasn’t enough.
The monster’s chest throbbed, his entire bloodstream boiling and clamoring.
He should bite this little cat—completely unaware of danger—straight into his mouth, grinding her fair, delicate skin with his teeth, listening to her moist whimpers of pleasure and pleas.
Just like that.
The monster got himself excited, his eyes growing brighter, strangely vivid in the darkness.
He even forgot that the little cat’s senses were a hundred times sharper than a normal human’s.
Li Wan was already awake.
But she didn’t want anything to do with her two-legger. The moment she saw him, the negative emotions she’d been deliberately made to forget that afternoon surged back, flooding over her.
Actually, Li Wan knew she was being unreasonable.
Her tantrum was petty.
But…
As everyone knows, little cats don’t need a reason to get angry.
Fortunately, the little cat’s subconscious caution remained intact.
She waited for Chi Yan to notice that she didn’t want to interact, to realize she was upset, and to retrieve his long-lost expression of care to soothe her.
But the two-legger just crouched at the edge of the bed, staring at her without moving.
That was… strange.
If she were in her cat form right now, her fur would be bristling as if ready to explode.
But Li Wan quickly remembered that he could be neurotic at times and didn’t overthink it. Instead, she began comparing patience with the two-legger.
As it turned out…
This little contest only proved that the little cat was clueless about her own limits.
Really—
Who could compare their craziness with a monster?
Especially when the monster was already crazy by nature.
Li Wan gave up after a short while.
Feeling aggrieved, she opened her eyes to look at the man in front of her.
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but Chi Yan seemed… not quite normal just now.
How to put it…
It felt as though he could swallow her whole at any moment.
The little cat shivered, frozen for an instant.
But it lasted only a moment.
When she looked again, Chi Yan had returned to his usual demeanor.
Li Wan blinked, a little dazed.
The little cat’s attention shifted quickly, and in the next moment, she noticed the man holding a gift for her.
It was an exquisite box.
At first, Li Wan didn’t think of the cheap little ball worth a few dozen yuan, but the necklace he had carefully chosen.
She had glanced at it during the live broadcast of the show and remembered the sparkling rhinestones set in it.
About a hundred yuan.
Not expensive, but pretty.
For some reason, Li Wan’s heart started racing, and a chaotic sense of anticipation arose in her chest.
After a brief hesitation, she asked in a little cat’s unique, shy tone: “Is this a gift for me?”
Chi Yan nodded, signaling her to open it herself.
Li Wan could almost imagine how the rhinestones would catch the light in the room, her eyes fixed tightly on the gift box.
After all, who would use such beautiful packaging for an ordinary little ball?
But she was disappointed.
Inside the box was… that blue little ball.
To be fair, the little cat did like round objects that could roll far when touched.
But now, she faced the ball not as an ordinary cat, but as herself, Li Wan.
Her eyes grew warm. She felt unusually aggrieved but couldn’t articulate exactly why.
She really was a very awkward person.
And very annoying.
She regretted it.
If she hadn’t been so self-indulgent, she might have been happier.
No.
Perhaps she couldn’t be happy anyway.
After all the tantrums she had thrown, she finally admitted to herself: she simply didn’t want Chi Yan to give gifts to any other girl.
Not even to Mama Qingqing.
She was just a little cat.
Selfish, petty… so what?
Chi Yan was her human, after all.
He was a bad two-legger, utterly unfaithful to his cat.
Li Wan knew that whether the two-legger was faithful to a little cat had nothing to do with giving gifts to other girls or being with them.
But so what?
What’s wrong with a little cat throwing a chaotic tantrum?!
Little cats are naturally unreasonable.
Angry, her round apricot eyes rimmed with red, she pushed the ball into the two-legged creature’s arms and turned away.
So annoying.
Chi Yan was a little surprised.
The slow-witted human didn’t know why the little cat was angry. He hesitated, frowned, and asked with concern: “What’s wrong?”
The little cat ignored him.
He asked repeatedly, “Wanwan? Wanwan?”
From his voice, Li Wan sensed his concern for the little cat, which somehow soothed her just a bit.
Guessing that he wouldn’t stop without a reason, she let out a heavy nasal sound and said randomly.
“You’re annoying.
“You went shopping with Mama Qingqing and didn’t bring me! You’re annoying!!”
Chi Yan was speechless.
He wasn’t stupid. He quickly guessed this probably wasn’t the real reason, but it was obvious the little cat didn’t want to say more.
The monster was slightly restless.
He sensed her unhappiness and, unable to soothe her, wanted to hold her in his mouth to prevent her from running away.
But the little cat wouldn’t like that.
To maintain his image, he had to pretend to be normal, suppressing the dark urges within, and feign belief in what she had just said.
However, he remembered another, perhaps more effective, way to calm the little cat.
He took out the necklace he had prepared as a surprise for her: “I brought you a gift.”
Under the light, the necklace quietly reflected a beautiful glow.
