T/N: Apologies for the suuupeeerr late update.
I had things going on and was quite busy these few months.
Hopefully I could have more time to translate more chapters in this novel because I really liked this~ Update schedule is still sporadic.

Xu Jian avoided Liu Qianqian’s hand and stood on Qin Chen’s shoulder, making a threatening sound at her from his throat.

Liu Qianqian’s expression froze for a moment, she stared at Xu Jian awkwardly.
She didn’t expect that not only Qin Chen was avoiding her, but even his cat also doesn’t allow her to approach.

Qin Chen raised his hand and soothingly smoothed the fur on Xu Jian’s back.
He turned his head to Liu Qianqian and said,

“If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Looking away from Xu Jian, Liu Qianqian regained her previous smile when she looked at Qin Chen.
She slightly bent down, placed the bag in her hand to Qin Chen’s feet, then raised her hand trying to pull the corner of his clothes.

Qin Chen’s gaze sank, without hiding it, he directly raised his hand and slapped her hand away.

Liu Qianqian let out a low cry and touched the back of his her hand, looking at Qin Chen with flattened lips.
“In addition to sending you off this time, I came to apologize to you.”

Liu Qianqian has a petite figure and a nice face.
It’s easy for people to feel soft and forgive her when she looks at you and acts coquettish with a flat mouth, but unfortunately……

Xu Jian wagged his tail and shook his head, thinking:

Unfortunately, you met the steel straight Qin Chen.
This character set won’t buy it from you.

As expected, Qin Chen spoke in a cold tone.
“The person you should apologize to is not me, it’s Wu Jie.”

Hearing another woman’s name from Qin Chen’s mouth, Xu Jian couldn’t help but raise his claw to touch his neck; he was a little surprised.

Wu Jie.
He knows the new generation of flower traffic because of the popularity of a youth campus drama last year.
She and the male lead were deskmates in the drama, and everyone on the Internet said that the country owes them a deskmate like Wu Jie.

Traffic: the flow of data on the internet

However, although Wu Jie’s popularity is good, compared with Qin Chen, this movie star level, there’s still a great distance.
Xu Jian didn’t expect that the love-hate relationship between Qin Chen, Liu Qianqian, and President Du unexpectedly also involved Wu Jie.

Xu Jian who has already terminated his contract with the company couldn’t help but lament in his heart— your circle is really messy.

Although it’s unjustified to think this way now, Xu Jian is indeed eating melon cats with the mentality of watching a good show.

He also arrogantly sat on the other party’s neck.

Qin Chen who was touched by Xu Jian’s paws, raised a hand to hold his meat pad and conveniently squeezed it which meant—

Milk, don’t make a scene.

Hearing the name of ‘Wu Jie’ Liu Qianqian’s eyes flashed with displeasure, looking angrily and aggrievedly at Qin Chen:

“Then who told her to seduce you in public.”

Qin Chen frowned when he heard the words and looked at Liu Qianqian a little colder:

“I think you should look at your eyes.”

Liu Qianqian wasn’t happy either, gritting her teeth and stamping her feet:

“She grabbed your arm at the award ceremony that day, wasn’t that seducing? Why are you defending her so much?”

After Liu Qianqian said this, Qin Chen didn’t want to bother with her anymore; his patience with Liu Qianqian had run out:

“Have you finished? When you’re done, hurry up and leave.”

Even Xu Jian who was watching doubted his ears——

He didn’t hear wrong, right? Grabbing an arm is seducing?

He’s now in the modern society, not the Qing Dynasty where women need to bind their feet, right?

Foot binding was the Chinese custom of breaking and tightly binding the feet of young girls in order to change the shape and size of their feet; during the time it was practiced, bound feet were considered a status symbol and a mark of beauty.

Xu Jian looked at Liu Qianqian, his eyes full of surprise.
He wondered if this person liked Qin Chen so much that she was suffering from delusion.
As long as a woman appeared next to Qin Chen, she suspected that the other party is plotting against Qin Chen.

After hearing Qin Chen’s words, Liu Qianqian shook her head and stretched her voice to speak pitifully:

“It’s my fault for making you angry but she seduced you, I just slapped her.
I don’t think I’m to blame.
Only in this way can those wild cats and wildflowers know that your Liu Qianqian’s, and not everyone can covet you.
I did this all for you, Ah Chen ah……”

From the conversation between the two, Xu Jian most likely guessed the truth of the matter.

At a certain award ceremony, Wu Jie grabbed Qin Chen’s arm because of the occasion while Qin Chen’s suitor, Liu Qianqian, thought that the other party is seducing their beloved.
Therefore, she looked for the other party afterwards and gave her a slap, then Qin Chen got angry.

Xu Jian looked at Liu Qianqian carefully, thinking in his mind who she was, and dared to hit Wu Jie.
After hitting her, she can still stand here now with a straight face as if nothing happened.

How can Wu Jie, this popular flower, can be wronged by this?

The point is that Liu Qianqian still did not feel she was at fault but only apologized for making Qin Chen angry rather than apologize to Wu Jie who was innocently slapped and was said to be a wild cat or wildflower.

Xu Jian who used to be a wild cat wasn’t happy.
He stared at Liu Qianqian’s exquisite makeup and thought— 

What’s wrong with wild cats? Eat your small dried fish and use your toilet to solve a cat problem?

You were shut out by Qin Chen while I, a wild cat, could not only enter his house but could also jump on his shoulders, sleep together at night, and even saw him naked last night!

Can you? Can you?!

I could not only jump on Qin Chen’s shoulders but I could also kiss him casually like this— 

Xu Jian’s cat face turned, he quickly kissed Qin Chen’s ear.
He didn’t rush to leave after kissing but glanced down provocatively at Liu Qianqian.
He kissed Qin Chen’s neck and opened his mouth, flaunting:

“Meow, meow—”

Xu Jian meant:

See that? I’m a wild cat and I provoked him, what can you do?

Xu Jian’s furry head came over and Qin Chen felt that his ear was itchy at first, the slightly cool sensation broke away, and then the same feeling came from his neck.

It took Qin Chen two seconds to realize that his Milk had just kissed him secretly.

Twice.

After raising Milk for so long, this was the first time that he took the initiative to kiss him.
The plush control Qin Chen was so happy that the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rising but he quickly pressed down the corners of his mouth when he thought that Liu Qianqian was still here.

Holding Xu Jian from his shoulder into his arms, Qin Chen gently rubbed his head.

Looking at Qin Chen who was holding the cat and whose cold eyes had suddenly softened, Liu Qianqian looked enviously at Xu Jian.

Since she began to chase Qin Chen, he has become more and more impatient with her, chasing him for half a year, she even knew where he lives through a private investigator……

The thought of this made Liu Qianqian’s nose feel sour.
She opened her mouth and was just about to speak when a puzzled female voice came from behind.

“Miss Liu? Why are you here?”

When the two people and a cat looked at the same time, they saw Xiao Nan who they didn’t know when she arrived, was looking at Liu Qianqian in surprise.

Seeing Xiao Nan, Liu Qianqian also froze, her eyebrows furrowed, and asked her with a face full of displeasure.

“How did you find this place?”

Xiao Nan walked quickly to the two.
After sweeping a glance at Qin Chen’s expression and the gift bag on the ground, she instantly understood what the situation was now—

Miss Liu, Brother Chen’s fanatical suitor came to block people again, and this time she’s directly blocking the door.

Xu Jian met Xiao Nan not long ago, so he felt that Liu Qianqian’s question was rather unqualified.

Xiao Nan also felt amused at Liu Qianqian’s words:

“I’m Brother Chen’s assistant, naturally, I know where Brother Chen lives.”

Otherwise, how else can I pick him up?

Liu Qianqian looked up and down at Xiao Nan, she saw that she was dressed in sportswear unlike her who was covered in big names, an assistant, and not at all comparable to her.

Liu Qianqian’s guarded heart was temporarily put down, she raised her watch to looked at the time, then swept at Xiao Nan:

“The flight is at 10:30 and now it’s almost 9:30 did you picked up Ah Chen.
Isn’t it a little irresponsible for you as an assistant? What if you missed the plane?”

When she heard this, Xiao Nan smiled with wide clear eyes and an innocent face:

“Brother Chen missing the flight has nothing to do with Miss Liu, what are you worried about?”

What’s more, they have already sent someone to the airport to check-in for Qin Chen.

Xiao Nan’s words hit the nail on the head after saying ‘it has nothing to do with you’, and stabbed Liu Qianqian like a knife, making her blush for a while.

Even Xu Jian glanced at Xiao Nan with some surprise, thinking that Qin Chen’s assistant was a white cut black stuffed with sesame.

White cut black: used to refer to the light and dark sides of a character.
This means that a character looks innocent and cute on the surface but is actually a black belly.

Liu Qianqian stared at Xiao Nan but couldn’t find any words to refute.

In this gap, Xiao Nan bent down to lift the gift bag on the ground and smiled brightly at Qin Chen:

“The car is downstairs, Brother Chen, go and see if there is anything left to bring with you.
We will leave later.”

From an angle which Liu Qianqian couldn’t see, Xiao Nan’s gesture to Qin Chen meant— 

Brother Chen, go inside.
I’ll take care of this.

Nodding to Xiao Nan, Qin Chen turned around and walked inside with the cat in his arms, not giving Liu Qianqian another look.

Seeing that Qin Chen was about to leave, Liu Qianqian subconsciously took a step forward to catch up:

“Ah Chen—”

“Miss Liu.”

Liu Qianqian’s feet haven’t yet crossed into the door when an arm suddenly intercepted in front from her to the side, Xiao Nan’s hand held up on the door frame to block her.

Liu Qianqian turned her head and stared angrily.
Before she could say ‘what are you doing’ Xiao Nan smilingly handed the gift bag to her side and was the first to speak:

“Miss Liu, you dropped your things.”

At the same time, Xiao Nan naturally grasps the doorknob, smoothly closed the door, and blocking Liu Qianqian’s prying eyes.

Xu Jian who was carried inside by Qin Chen rested his head on his arms and looked in the direction of the door in amazement with wide eyes.

The last thing he saw when Xiao Nan closed the door was Liu Qianqian’s livid face.

Liu Qianqian and Xiao Nan are at tit-for-tat, Xu Jian had already guessed the ending, it must be cotton-needle-Xiao Nan won a complete victory.

Cotton needle: there are needles hidden in the cotton wool (idiom); a metaphor for being kind on the outside but vicious on the inside

Xiao Nan is young and looked harmless but he didn’t expect to poke people’s hearts when she spoke.

Sure enough, people who can be the assistant of a movie star are not simple.

In a few minutes, the doorbell rang again.
Qin Chen went to open the door; Xu Jian guessed that Xiao Nan has sent Liu Qianqian away.

After opening the door, there’s only Xiao Nen left outside; Liu Qianqian has disappeared.

Following Qin Chen entering the door, Xiao Nan curled her lips and said:

“Brother Chen, how did she know about this place?”

This ‘she’ naturally refers to Liu Qianqian.

Qin Chen: “I don’t know.”

Xiao Nan made a ‘ze’ sound and continued

Ze: similar to ‘tsk’ or ‘tch’; to click one’s tongue

“She relies on her father since he’s one of the entertainment’s shareholders, so it’s fine for her to be arrogant and domineering.
Now, she even dares block Brother Chen to your home.”

Hearing this, Xu Jian meowed, thinking—

It turns out that Liu Qianqian is a rich second-generation ah, and the daughter of an entertainment shareholder, no wonder she dares to lay her hand at Wu Jie.

He remembered that Wu Jie is also a contracted artist under Entertainment Culture.
Naturally, she dare not offend the daughter of a shareholder.

Xiao Nan looked at Qin Chen with some concern between her eyebrows:

“Brother Chen, she has come to the door.
Are you still not going to tell the company about the situation? She dared to hit Wu Jie last time, who knows what crazy things she’ll do next time?”

Without waiting for Qin Chen to speak, Xiao Nan sighed again.

“Chief Liu is such an amiable and easy-going person.
How come he has such a brutal and unreasonable daughter like Liu Qianqian?”

Liu Qianqian met Qin Chen in person at a party six months ago and was stunned on the spot.
She instantly fell in love with him and has been chasing him ever since.
Qin Chen clearly refused many times but to no avail, she was like a piece of chewing gum that could not be thrown away.

If it was just a normal pursuit, Qin Chen and Xiao Nan will not resent her.
The problem is that she’s doing everything to chase Qin Chen and is neurotic.

When Liu Qianqian saw Qin Chen standing with a woman, she felt that the other party was going to rob Qin Chen with her, then she use her identity as the entertainment shareholder’s daughter to target people……

Qin Chen was so disturbed that he even moved home once.
As a result, less than two months later, the other party came to the door again.

To be honest, Xiao Nan thinks that she’s sick and she’s extremely sick.

Hearing Xiao Nan’s words, Qin Chen frowned slightly and slowly spoke:

“I will consider it.”

Qin Chen can tolerate Liu Qianqian hanging in front of him for most of the year.
Naturally, it’s not because of his gentlemanly demeanor towards women but for the sake of Liu Qianqian’s father, Liu Teng.

Contrary to Liu Qianqian, Liu Teng treats people very well and sympathizes with his subordinates.
He has contributed to the development of Entertainment Culture to its present scale and becoming the industry’s benchmark.

Liu Teng didn’t expect to have such a daughter until he was forty-two years old and regarded her as a Pearl on the Palm.
Liu Teng is busy with work, he can only spend a limited time with his daughter.
He felt guilty so she spoiled her into a lawless temper now.

Pearl on the Palm: most beloved person which is usually regarded to fathers towards their daughters.

Liu Teng is the hero of Entertainment Culture, Qin Chen as the prince of Entertainment Culture, should naturally consider Liu Teng in dealing with Liu Qianqian.

Xiao Nan only knows that Pan Min is Qin Chen’s cousin and that his family is very rich but she didn’t know his specific identity.
So now, when Qin Chen said he wanted to consider it, she thought he was concerned about Liu Qianqian’s identity and said:

“Brother Chen, Chief Liu has always been clear about right and wrong.
I’m sure he won’t embarrass you because of this.
It’s not your fault to be handsome and attractive.”

The second half of Xiao Nan’s words made Xu Jian dazed and thought— 

This flattery is so natural and not pretentious.

Qin Chen was also amused by Xiao Nan’s serious tone.
He looked at her helplessly and delightedly:

“Okay, I understand.”

Seeing Qin Chen nod, Xiao Nan’s heart rested a little, then said:

“But I’ll go and talk to the property management later, how can they let anyone in ah……”

Xu Jian nodded his head in approval after hearing the words: Meow~”

That’s right.
I’m such a small cat who sneaked in the security door and the guard didn’t see.
Now, if a person as big as Liu Qianqian walked in, they can’t also see?

Qin Chen pinched Xu Jian’s cat ears, he smiled and said:

“Milk, why are you joining in the fun.”

Xiao Nan answered quickly, “Milk thinks I’m right.”

Xu Jian gave a face to Xiao Nan and meowed again which meant:

You are right.

Seeing Xu Jian’s well-behaved appearance, Xiao Nan’s hands itched and asked:

“Brother Chen, can I touch him a little?”

Hearing this, Xu Jian who got up early and saw many cat furs in the cat’s nest, he immediately jumped out of Qin Chen’s arms and stayed away from Xiao Nan, keeping his distance from her.

Qin Chen looked at Xiao Nan, his eyes were thick with bragging.

“As you can see, it’s not that I don’t let you touch him, it’s Milk that doesn’t let you touch him.”

His Milk is only allowed to be held and rubbed by one person.

Xiao Nan: “……”

Xiao Nan who was directly rejected by Xu Jian, looked at the white cat then looked at her boss, and finally slowly spoke:

“I don’t know if it was my illusion but for a moment, I seemed to see a bright dislike from Milk’s eyes……”

Was I disliked by a cat just now?

Qin Chen calmly added: “It’s not your illusion, I also saw it.”

Disliked by the cat Xiao Nan: “……”

Crazy.

…………

After arriving at the airport, Xiao Nan originally wanted to handle the pet check-in for Qin Chen but the latter didn’t feel at ease and had to go personally to do so.

Then, the passers-by and staff who recognized Qin Chen at the airport were met with the following sight:

Qin Chen, dressed in all black who was supposed to look like a cold-blooded killer in a TV series, carried a round and lovely smoky gray bag, and you can faintly see the white shadow inside the bag……

T/N: Xu Jian ruining Qin Chen’s ‘supposed’ persona in a second lmao

Xiao Nan who was next to him wanted to take the bag for him but was rejected by waving his hand.

The crowd: “???”

Is this the new airport fashion that Qin Chen’s stylist designed for him?

When they saw Qin Chen went to the pet check-in place, the crowd was sure he was really carrying a pet.

The crowd: “……”

Moreover, Qin Chen doesn’t care how people look at him now.
After he fills out the information, he bent his fingers and knocked on the glass of the pet bag.
The tone of his voice was inconceivably gentle:

“Milk, be good.
Dad will come to pick you up later.”

Xiao Nan was not surprised but the airport staff who heard Qin Chen’s words, their pupils began to quake, and the poor man in her heart looked confused— 

Qin Chen still has such a gentle side?

After repeatedly assuring Qin Chen that the consignment was safe and the pet would not be injured, the staff sent away the worried Qin Chen.

When Qin Chen who took three steps and had gone far away, the staff member turned her head to look at her colleague.

“I didn’t expect Qin Chen to be a poop-scooping officer.”

A colleague glanced at the crowded airport lobby and was quite calm, “It’s possible that that’s just in the character set.
Just take a look at celebrity’s affairs, don’t take it seriously.”

“Before, Qin Chen has never sent a cat on Weibo.
Recently, he suddenly and frequently mentioned cats and posted photos on them, it feels like he wants to set a cat-loving persona.
After all, cat lovers and dog lovers have now become mainstream.”

The man who spoke first nodded at the words.

“What you said also makes sense.”

She once heard someone say that most of the things you know in the entertainment industry are what others what you to know, and a large part of them are fake.

After saying that, she picked up Xu Jian and took a closer look.
She couldn’t help but speak.

“But Qin Chen’s cat does look good, want to suck.”

Not literally, I guess just like when fans say ‘licking the screen’ it’s because they look good or something.

Xu Jian who was lying in the pet bag heard the words, he lazily raised his eyes.
He glanced at her and refused without hesitation in his heart.

No sucking.

Then Xu Jian turned his body around, turned his face to the other side, and swept his long tail over the breathable glass—no looking.

Xu Jian clearly heard the conversation between the two, hearing them say that Qin Chen was setting up a cat lover persona made him inexplicably uncomfortable:

What’s the identity of Qin Chen who made his debut for so many years, does he need to set up a cat lover persona?

He obviously really likes me!

Thinking of this, Xu Jian paused and added a sentence in his heart.

No, he likes my fur.

Also meant he likes him from head to toe or his body lol

The author has something to say:

Jian Meow: No, he likes all furry animals!

Qin poop scooping officer: I also like you without fur [pushing glasses]

Jin Meow: ! ! You’re not driving anymore!
