Chapter 71: The chief executive’s little kitty 9

The spotlight did not touch the body of the youth at all, but a faint light illuminated his face, that Li Shaolin could practically see the curl of his long and slightly droopy eyelashes. The entire individual obviously had some incompatibility with the surrounding’s pretentiousness and noise, as he silently stayed there with a look that had a hint of detachment from this world. His casual state was also just like that of a languid cat.

Having an acuity just like a cat’s. Chen Tong’s sensitive senses soon perceived the gaze of Li Shaolin, that he turned his head to look over. The look that was actually given to Li Shaolin was full of furious anger, which had even been paired with a childish pout, then the head was immediately turned away.

Li Shaolin had been stunned still once again.

He had obviously never met this youth before, but his gaze felt exceptionally familiar, especially that angry glare he gave, which had actually made Li Shaolin’s heart suddenly skip a beat.

He was really just like a cat, this tsundere like cautiousness also had an unspeakable adorable feeling, inevitably made Li Shaolin think of his kitten once again. After raising that little fellow, Li Shaolin had gained 10 times more patience and indulgence towards that tsundere personality of saying no but acting the opposite, because this youth’s manner which can be said to be impolite, to other’s perspective can perhaps be presumed to be purely arrogant, but could only make Li Shaolin inexplicably feel that the other was only being coquettish.

But Chen Tong in reality was really very unhappy. The host had just said that the pair of golden bells was a jewelry used by the princess and Li Shaolin put forward an extremely high bid, so which woman will this be given to?

Due to the fact that the little golden bells were regarded as an item for a woman’s use, so Chen Tong had completely ruled himself out.

——This is too much, we will definitely bite to death that little minx that dared to hook up with his servant!!

“This is really a very beautiful golden bell,” Joseph who was beside him had nonetheless fanned the flames and pretended to carelessly say: “I have no idea which female friend Li intends to give it to at all. I am very familiar with Li, he has constantly been associated with beautiful women since childhood, even Xue Qin, the most beautiful leading actress in China had expressed her love to him……”

To Joseph’s disappointment, the kitten had not only refused to fall into his trap, but had blinked his wide pair of eyes instead as he queried: “Do you like that leading actress as well?”

Joseph who had been wrongly accused, hurriedly replied: “How could that be? How can I like that kind of woman!”

But the kitten seemed to have not heard his words at all and continued to speak with seriousness: “I got it. You like that leading actress, but she only likes Li Shaolin, ——So you became very jealous of Li Shaolin right?”

Having spoken this much, he also brought up the previous kidnapping incident as well, “I suspect that the previous kidnapping incident was not you saving me from the hands of the kidnappers as you have said, but had rather been collaboration with the kidnappers. Perhaps holding on to us is a way for you to blackmail my servant……”

He really was a clever little demon spirit, one that was also very sensible and magnanimous. Joseph raised his brow, as his fondness towards Chen Tong grew a bit deeper. Chen Tong hadn’t been mistaken about the kidnapping incident, so Joseph could only speak in an aggrieved way of half-truth and half-false: “It turns out that I am a maliciously narrow-minded person in your eyes, I’m really hurt!”

Chen Tong in reality didn’t have that kind of sensibility and magnanimity Joseph inwardly believed he had, as he was actually puffing his cheeks in indignation within and even wanted to scratch Li Shaolin from head to foot with his claws.

Who allowed you to forbid me in participate the show! Who allowed you to provoke so many beautiful women! Who allowed you to buy gifts for another person!!!

This kitten Chen was absolutely eating a lot of vinegar* and was really eating it very badly. It’s a pity that he would never admit it at all and was not even willing to express his love.

*jealous

The tsundere who falls in love, will never take the initiative to confess. ——Even if we love you we will never profess it to you, because you don’t deserve us, humph╭(╯^╰)╮.

But the kitten had forgotten his anger in the next second, as his entire body completely stiffened, that he even almost cried out in shock.

Because he actually saw a slightly translucent figure come out of the little bell at the distance! !

Chen Tong rubbed his eyes to confirm whether it was his own hallucination, but realized that it became clearer after rubbing his eyes. The man wore a clothing from the Han dynasty, with a scholar’s appearance and completely lacked the terribleness of an evil spirit, but had a sense of elegance and gentleness instead.

The demon cat’s assistive skill [Eye of reincarnation] had the ability to purify the spirit’s grievances, forcefully removing the spirit’s grievances of the human world to the reincarnation cycle. So the kitten not only saw the ghost on the little bell, but the other party had also noticed the kitten’s existence. The ghost was supposed to be the one who should be afraid, but the kitten was the one which let out a lot of cold sweat by himself.

A a ah, I actually saw a ghost!!

The fear of the ghost had completely made all of Chen Tong’s hair stand, ——Had he been a cat form at this moment. Unfortunately, Joseph only saw that he was unable to take his eyes off the golden bells on stage. Thinking that he liked it while also wanting to dash the spirit of his rival in love, he actually called out a bid after Li Shaolin, adding no less than a hundred thousand.

This scene happened way before Li Shaolin looked over to Joseph’s way. Li Shaolin was dazedly staring at Chen Tong that he had forgotten to raise the bid’s price. So the golden bell had actually been won by Joseph in the end.

After Joseph’s subordinate had completed the transaction, he immediately went before the kitten to present the golden bell to him, but had not expected the little fellow to actually step back without warning, because of the movement being too hurried, Chen Tong accidentally collided with another person.

The familiar embrace and scent, made Chen Tong aware that the other person was Li Shaolin without the need to turn back to take a look. Once Chen Tong regained his footing again, he raised his head and sent Li Shaolin an indignant glare.

Being given this incomprehensible glare once more, did not actually anger Li Shaolin, but had actually made him feel an extremely familiar feeling in addition to a unprecedented throbbing of his chest. The youth was even more daring and blamed the other, after bumping into Li Shaolin he grumbled in a low sounding voice: “Wei, are you not looking at where you’re going? You even bumped into me.”

The lines on Li Shaolin’s face was comparatively stiff as he normally had an indifferent expression. There would only be a few individuals who were not afraid of him and this youth could be considered as the second one. The first would naturally be his kitten and this youth was really just like a very proud and arrogant Persian cat. The expression he had was still very righteous and self-confident, as if Li Shaolin was really at fault.

Li Shaolin spoke with indifference, his tone lacking any trace of emotion, “You bumped into me.”

“But you caused me pain.” The arrogance and willfulness just a moment ago was instantly replaced with grievance, the Persian cat’s voice was low, hoarse and soft, just like a slight tease, that can make the people’s heart itch.

Even though Li Shaolin was fully aware that the circumstances told by the youth was not possible,  but it still gave him an indescribable nervousness and distress, that he had even had an impulse to ask him where it hurts. Li Shaolin looked at the youth’s sparkling pair of black eyes, he took in a deep breath and shifted his sight away with difficulty.

He admits that the other person had an irresistible charm in his body, that every subtle movement of his was very fascinating, in addition to that pair of eyes that he feels like he had seen somewhere before, which constantly affects his heart. He didn’t want to be influenced by this sudden rush of inexplicable feelings, didn’t want to sink in that pair of beautiful and unfathomable eyes and didn’t want to submissively play around. So, he finally moved over from Chen Tong area heading straight to Joseph’s direction and directly revealed his intention on wanting to have that golden bells.   

Joseph who had originally been depressed because of the kitten’s retreat just a while ago, had become even more discomfited with Li Shaolin’s attitude which did not carry a bit of politeness, that he naturally voiced his refusal. Lu Shaolin was not in a hurry and had actually changed his tone to talk with him about the the few business deals more than half a year ago.

These business deals were all of Joseph’s investments in the Southeast Asia, one of those had the biggest deficit, which was the biggest failure of Joseph after he became the patriarch, in addition to this he had even relied on Li Shaolin’s connection to ship his goods.

Li Shaolin did not need to bring up the kitten’s kidnapping incident at all, as this two businesses were enough to make Joseph have a shortness of breath. When all was said and done, the James’ family had been there for hundred of years, the things would always be tightly sealed, that Li Shaolin only knew that the kidnapping was related with Joseph, but was unable to get a hold of any substantial evidences. Thus, he could only choose to retaliate with other types of matters.

Joseph ultimately relented and directly expressed that he would directly send the golden bell to Li Shaolin. He had four ideas in his heart. First, was naturally because Li Shaolin was not an easy person to deal with; second, he wanted to sell the other person’s feeling with this golden bell that only costed several hundred of thousands; third, he was really looking forward to which woman Li Shaolin wanted to give it to. His final conjecture was that the other party was going to give it to the kitten, but he had already observed that the kitten did not like this golden bells at all, so he also wanted to give Li Shaolin the taste of shooting himself in the foot.

“Li,” As Joseph handed over the golden bells to Li Shaolin he deliberately put forward a question, “Are you going to give it to someone?”

From the perspective of people like Li Shaolin, it was better to owe money than to owe someone, because the human emotions were more precious than money, so the special assistant Tan Zishang had quickly handed over the bank check to a subordinate of Joseph. After the item was delivered and the bill was settled, Li Shaolin calmly said in response as he took in the proffered box: “En, it would be sent to someone special.”

Someone special?

When Chen Tong who was at the side had heard of this, the jealousy that was scared back by the ghost also came rolling back. This time he had really puffed his cheek in indignation and glared at Li Shaolin for the third time, then turned away with rage and left.

It was exactly the same way his kitten would get angry, it would also give him this tsundere type of glare then angrily turn away and leave with small cat steps.

Li Shaolin felt his chest throb once more, as a faint guess emerged from his thought, but was quickly shaken off by him. ——His kitten is currently at home and might have been sleeping soundly, thinking about the it’s appearance in it’s sleep, had inevitably made Li Shaolin smile a bit.

He had lived alone for such a long time and had never experienced the feeling of having someone wait for him at home, but even though that little fellow was just a small animal, he still made him experience the warmth.

This kind of feeling made made it impossible for people to avoid getting addicted. Every time he returns home he knows that the little thing would be waiting at home, quietly listening to the sound of his footsteps, waiting for his return in a well-behaved manner, which will instantly melt his entire heart.  

But after Li Shaolin had hurriedly returned home he knitted his brows, the face sank deeper as he was unable to see the kitten’s traces after he had rummage every nook and cranny the kitten would usually be.

The cellphone’s ringing tone suddenly sounded, Li Shaolin who would never had answered an unknown number had actually picked the call up. The first line of Yan Zhen were very similar to a kidnapper: “Chief Li, your family’s kitten is here with me.”

Yan Zhen had actually been very surprised as well. After he had just finished the dinner party and headed to the parking area to pick his car up, he suddenly discovered a small ball of fluff sitting on the hood of his car, which also had two pieces of a4 paper under it’s paws. Seeing his approach, it used it’s paws to lift the paper to hand it over to him, while crying a gentle and lovable meow meow sound as well.

The contents of the paper made Yan Zhen even more shocked. This paper was actually a contract, it clearly stated that Party A. the kitten agreed to take part of the ‘Which pet is your favorite?’ tv program and Party B. Yan Zhen must pay Party A with five thousand tons of seafood as a remuneration. At the bottom following these words was a small plum blossom mark, ——A stamp left by the little fellows paw print.
