Chapter 66 – The Owner of the Stray Kitten

The Owner of the Stray Kitten (13)

Ye Qinghe was stopped by the security guard at the entrance and couldn’t get in. She could only sit down on a flower bed not far away. She would wait here. She didn’t believe the woman wouldn’t come out!

Xu Xinghe ordered takeout again at night. This time, she chose a different place with few reviews, and the taste was surprisingly good.

Ye Qinghe waited outside all night, but the woman never came out.

The next day, her eyes were bloodshot and her hair was a mess. The cleaning auntie thought she might have encountered some misfortune and asked with concern, “Little girl, are you alright?”

Ye Qinghe covered her nose in disgust and waved her hand impatiently. “Stinky sweeper, go away. Don’t bother me.”

The cleaning auntie felt wronged. She was only trying to help, but she didn’t expect to meet someone like this.

Finally, around 8:50, the woman came out. Ye Qinghe stared excitedly at the cat carrier on her scooter, as if seeing a million yuan waving at her.

She was really terrified by the debt collectors. No matter where she went, people could knock on her door in the middle of the night, scaring her so much that she couldn’t sleep.

Xu Xinghe was riding her electric scooter normally with Lin Mo on her back. Just as she left the gate, a woman jumped out in front of her.

Xu Xinghe was so startled that she slammed on the brakes. Lin Mo paced anxiously in the cat carrier, meowing.

He couldn’t see what was happening ahead. He wanted to know if Xu Xinghe was hurt.

Ye Qinghe’s eyes were fixed on the cat carrier. She glanced at the woman riding the scooter. She didn’t expect her to have such a face.

This further confirmed what she had thought before—the woman was being kept by some old man.

“Hey, that cat is mine. Give it back to me.” Ye Qinghe commanded, hands on her hips.

Xu Xinghe was so angry that she took off her helmet. This woman almost caused her to crash, and now she wanted her cat?

System: [Xing Xing, this is the female lead, Ye Qinghe.]

Xu Xinghe: [The female lead? Wasn’t she off pursuing her freedom? Why is she bothering me!]

Xu Xinghe was extremely irritated. Wasn’t this female lead supposed to be off pursuing her freedom, rejecting the male lead’s obsessive love? Did she come back because she regretted it?

Unfortunately, it was too late. She wasn’t going to give Lin Mo to her.

“You say it’s yours just because you say so? Show me proof.” Xu Xinghe parked her scooter and patted the kitten’s head to comfort him.

Ye Qinghe didn’t expect the woman to ask her that, but she felt justified and said boldly, “I said it’s mine, so it’s mine. I advise you to give it back quickly, or… you’ll regret it!”

Xu Xinghe treated it like a dog barking. She rolled her eyes and ignored her.

“Uncle Security! Someone’s causing trouble here.” Xu Xinghe called out to the security guard at the gate. The uncle knew her because he had bought flowers from her before.

Hearing her voice, the security guard immediately rushed over. He had seen this woman lurking suspiciously at the gate yesterday. He didn’t expect her to still be here.

“Miss Xu, leave her to me. I’ll call the police and have her arrested!” The security guard grabbed Ye Qinghe with one hand so she couldn’t leave, while speaking to Xu Xinghe.

Xu Xinghe thanked the security guard and then rode her little scooter to open the shop.

Throughout the ride, Lin Mo was unusually silent. He was terrified of something like this happening again, and all he could do was watch helplessly.

When Xu Xinghe arrived at the shop, she let Lin Mo out. She cleaned up first as usual, then added water to the flowers and trimmed the weeds. Just as she was about to get more water, she noticed something.

A cat was following her? The little black cat was poking his head around various corners, secretly watching her.

Xu Xinghe scooped Lin Mo into her arms and scratched his chin. Sure enough, the next moment, his throat emitted a rumbling purr.

“Mo Mo~ you’re so cute.”

Scratched under the chin, Lin Mo’s head went blissfully blank. His eyes closed, and his chin unconsciously stretched forward, wanting her to keep petting him.

Lin Mo blamed it all on his cat body. This definitely wasn’t voluntary.
