Meanwhile, at Cloud Manor…
Lin Yan parked her car outside the entrance.
She saw a man squatting outside the door and recognized Pei Yutang when she got nearer.
When Pei Yutang saw Pei Yucheng, he wailed loudly. “Big Brother! You’re finally back! While you weren’t around, Sister-in-law… Sister-in-law…”
Instinctively, Pei Yutang wanted to complain.
Lin Yan narrowed her eyes and flexed her arms. “What is wrong?”
Pei Yutang muttered. “Sister-in-law… read every day, played chess, and meditated… Everything is well…”
Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction.
“Big Brother, Sister-in-law, where did the two of you go? Big Brother, I thought you were coming back next week?” Pei Yutang asked.
Lin Yan was speechless…
Could he stop asking so many questions?
She had gone to a match-making session, and then his brother had also been introduced to someone… Would this answer suffice?
Pei Yutang’s eyes roved over Lin Yan’s silver car. “What the… That car is so old and ugly!”
Lin Yan’s face turned ugly. “I shall give you a chance to rephrase that!”
Pei Yutang replied meekly, “Sister-in-law, is that your car?”
Lin Yan hissed in a huff, “I bought it! Is there a problem?”
Pei Yutang ran over to the car and opened it. He then said in a disdainful manner, “Sister-in-law, do you know how to choose a car? Were you cheated? This old battered car is horrible! I wouldn’t want it even if you gave it to me…”
Lin Yan dragged him by the collar forcibly. “How can you try to sit in your daddy’s car? Only your big brother can sit in this car!”
Pei Yucheng chuckled softly.
Pei Yutang muttered under his breath. “Daddy, your car looks as though hundreds of people have taken a ride in it…”
Lin Yan was about to retort when something soft and furry brushed against her legs.
“Hold on! What’s that…”
Lin Yan bowed her head and saw a small kitten beside her legs.
“It’s a kitten!” Lin Yan hastily knelt down.
The kitten looked dirty, malnourished, and exceedingly pitiful.
Pei Yutang knelt down as he studied the kitten. “Sister-in-law, strays are usually wary of people, but this one seems to like you…”
When he tried to get closer to the kitten, it turned hostile and wary.
Pei Yutang seemed hurt by its reaction. “Why are you so fierce?”
The kitten hid behind Lin Yan and continued to purr softly.
Lin Yan rubbed the kitten’s head. “It’s cute…”
She had always liked small animals and strays always seemed to like her too. Her new place was too secluded, so she hadn’t met many strays.
Such a young kitten wouldn’t possibly have a high probability of staying alive as the days grew colder.
Lin Yan wanted to adopt the kitten, but this house wasn’t hers.
Pei Yucheng, who seemed to have read Lin Yan’s mind, said gently, “Go ahead if you want to adopt it.”
