Chapter 75: Chapter 75: It’s Very Gentle

Back in Yuqiao, Ye Yan opened the door and entered.

She had just changed her shoes when suddenly a black shadow darted out from inside the house, and she quickly spun around to embrace Fu Xingzhou, almost hanging herself on him.

"You’re helpless," Fu Xingzhou said, holding her waist. "You got scared by such a little thing."

Ye Yan took a closer look and saw that the black shadow was a fluffy cat.

Its fur was silky long, and its eyes were like glaze, sitting there like a proud princess.

It was the Ragdoll Cat she had seen in the video.

Fu Xingzhou had really brought it back.

"It’s very tame," Fu Xingzhou said, lifting the cat with one hand.

Ye Yan instinctively glanced at the back of his hand, which still bore faint marks; she wondered who got scratched by the cat initially.

However, the Ragdoll Cat seemed reluctant to warm up to Ye Yan and was more familiar with hanging on Fu Xingzhou’s arm, its head vigorously trying to nuzzle against his chest.

"Is it a male or female?" Ye Yan was curious.

Fu Xingzhou, a charming man, not only attracted women but also female cats.

"There are balls, definitely a tomcat," Fu Xingzhou lifted the Ragdoll’s tail to show Ye Yan the two "balls," "Dr. Ye, are you really that clueless?"

"I’ve never kept a cat, plus, I’m not a vet."

Ye Yan washed her hands and went into the kitchen, tidying up the pile of expensive ingredients.

"Mr. Fu, could you buy a bottle of soy sauce?" The maid probably didn’t expect them to come back and cook, and there was only a little bit left in the soy sauce bottle.

Originally, Fu Xingzhou thought of sending his bodyguard to buy it, but seeing the petite woman bustling around the kitchen in an apron, he inexplicably felt a warm and domestic vibe.

As a child, when he visited the neighbors, he saw their parents preparing dinner.

His mother was washing vegetables and casually called his father to get some oil.

After fetching the oil, the couple busied themselves in the kitchen together. Though there were no luxurious ingredients, just simple vegetables and soup, the aroma from their dining table had lingered in Fu Xingzhou’s memory until now.

"Alright." Fu Xingzhou took the keys, grabbed a jacket, and went to buy soy sauce with light steps.

There was a supermarket in the neighborhood, and although he was dressed very simply, he still attracted many admiring glances upon entering.

A tall man with excessively handsome features, naturally exuding noble charisma, yet his manner of selecting soy sauce was filled with the essence of everyday life.

Someone hid behind the shelves and secretly took a photo, then posted it in the resident group: Is this man from our complex, such a top-quality man?

They only posted a side profile, but it was already breathtaking.

The resident group exploded like a deep-sea bomb, revealing many who were dazzled by his looks.

Ye Yan finished washing the vegetables, and Fu Xingzhou’s soy sauce was also bought.

In addition to soy sauce, he brought back a lollipop.

Peeling off the colorful wrapper, he stuck the lollipop into her mouth.

Ye Yan was still stir-frying. With a sweet taste in her mouth, her waist was embraced from behind.

"Stop messing around." Her words were muffled due to the candy in her mouth.

What kind of candy was this, bursting with the tangy flavor of orange, fragrant and sweet?

"I’m not messing around," Fu Xingzhou rested his chin on the top of her head and closed his eyes, listening to the sound of the fume hood and the sizzling of cooking.

It smelled wonderful, reminiscent of the aromatic scents from his neighbor’s house during his childhood.

Back then, he naively thought that if he got married and had children in the future, it would probably be a scene like this.

"Dr. Ye, do you want to have children?"

The man’s voice, regal yet slightly lazy and husky, drifted down from above.

Ye Yan paused while stir-frying.

By the end of the year, she would be 26. Many people her age already had children, but she seemed to have no such plans.

She still had professional titles to earn and projects to work on; she probably didn’t have the time and energy to raise a child.

It felt like something furry brushed over her leg, and Ye Yan looked down to see the Ragdoll Cat.

It seemed to really like Fu Xingzhou, constantly rubbing against his legs.

His charm was unstoppable, even by a male cat.

"Does it have a name?" Ye Yan fiddled with the vegetables in the pot.

"Sijiu." Fu Xingzhou didn’t ask her about children anymore, as if asking was just a young master’s whim and not a serious question.

"Sijiu?"

"Capital City is also called Sijiu City."

"Why is it called Sijiu City?"

Fu Xingzhou stroked the top of her head patiently explaining, "Sijiu refers to the four gates of the Imperial City and the nine gates of the inner city. I’ll take you there someday, and you’ll see."

"Are the people in Capital City easy to get along with?"

Fu Xingzhou chuckled lightly, noting that everyone in Sijiu City held high positions and usually looked down on others, so being easy-going was out of the question.

"You are Mrs. Fu, you definitely are easy to get along with."

"That’s only because I have you to thank," Ye Yan served up the dishes and handed them to him, "Dinner is served."

During the meal, Sijiu obediently squatted by Fu Xingzhou’s feet, lifting its noble neck.

The aunt had prepared a cat bed and various toys for Sijiu, and even the cat food was its favorite from Capital City.

Sijiu, who had traveled from Capital City across the seas to Ao City, didn’t seem to suffer from any environmental adjustment issues.

At night, it even jumped onto the bed, trying to sleep between the two of them.

It’s not to say that Fu Xingzhou was heartless, even though he was the one who brought the cat back, he now looked annoyed and threw it out.

Only he could get on Ye Yan’s bed, not even the cat.

There was a box on the bed, wrapped simply.

Ye Yan asked Fu Xingzhou and found out it was a gift for her.

Opening the box, a brightly colored piece of fabric was revealed, exactly like the suit she had that was ripped.

Ye Yan was surprised and felt a warmth as if a small furnace was burning in her heart.

When had Fu Xingzhou discovered her dress was damaged, and when did he buy an identical one from inland and mailed it back?

Fu Xingzhou came out of the bathroom to see Ye Yan holding the clothes and giggling.

As he approached and before he could speak, Ye Yan stood on her tiptoes and placed a soft kiss on the corner of his lips.

The little woman who was about to flee was caught by the wrist. She thought teasing and running away was fair, he thought otherwise.

The next morning, seeing the disheveled Sijiu, Ye Yan pitied it and fed it a small fish treat.

Sijiu first looked down, clearly wanting it, yet stubbornly refused.

It was a dignified cat from Sijiu City, how could it eat food given as handouts?

Its reputation could represent Sijiu City.

"Don’t like the fish treats? How about this?" Ye Yan shook a bag of cat treats in front of it.

The aunt had bought top-quality salmon cat treats, which were tempting enough even for humans to want a taste.

But Sijiu was a principled cat, not familiar with Ye Yan, and definitely could not eat the food she offered.

"Why isn’t it eating?" Seeing Fu Xingzhou coming over, Ye Yan felt somewhat aggrieved.

Fu Xingzhou glanced at the proud Sijiu, "Stop being so pretentious, if you don’t eat, just starve."

Sijiu: ...

Men are indeed callous.

Sijiu didn’t dare defy Fu Xingzhou’s word and obediently approached Ye Yan, nibbling on the cat treats.

Ye Yan was astonished, it seemed Fu Xingzhou’s authority applied equally to humans and animals, sweeping across them all.

"Are you packed? The car is downstairs," Fu Xingzhou fastened his cufflinks single-handedly, looking every bit the composed, dazzling man.
