When Huo Yu transformed into a cat, the voices of the cats she heard were all childlike, and she couldn’t distinguish between male and female or understand the cat’s radar to determine gender.

“Who did this great thing?!” Huo Yu said in her heart. Lin Shuwei had already picked up the tabby cat, and Huo Yu took Lin Shuwei to her car and hurried to the Cat Apartment.

During the journey, 006 reported several pieces of news about Lin Shuwei’s increasing happiness index, making Huo Yu slightly embarrassed.

Previously, when Lin Shuwei saw Huo Yu get out of the car, she also got out and saw Huo Yu save the tabby cat with such a commanding presence, finding it incredibly cute.

Lin Shuwei comforted the tabby cat, remembering how Huo Yu had touched it earlier. Huo Yu immediately withdrew her hand, her face filled with anxiety and helplessness, but in the end, she reached out her hand.

Gu Nanzhen had mentioned that Huo Yu was afraid of cats, and it seemed to be true.

Even though she was afraid of cats, she still opened the Cat Apartment. It was adorable and kind of her.

Lin Shuwei looked at Huo Yu, who was driving attentively, and her heart softened.

She wondered why Huo Yu was afraid of cats. How could someone be afraid of creatures like cats?

The two quickly arrived at the Cat Apartment. Huo Yu got out of the car and entered ahead of Lin Shuwei, calling for the people inside to prepare the delivery room.

Lin Shuwei came in and placed the tabby cat on a clean mat. The tabby cat was panting, its mouth open, and its meows became weaker.

The tabby cat still had a domineering expression, lying on its back on the mat, its belly rising and falling.

Before long, the kittens were born. The heads appeared, wet and dripping. The tabby cat stopped and licked the kittens, licking them a few times before giving birth to another one. It gave birth to three in total.

It didn’t let anyone touch them, licking the fluid off their bodies and biting the umbilical cords.

When the caretaker tried to handle the bleeding umbilical cords, the tabby cat growled low and assumed an attacking posture.

Surprisingly, it didn’t reject Lin Shuwei and Huo Yu.

Under the guidance of the caretaker, Lin Shuwei helped with the kittens, sterilizing them to prevent infection.

She also checked if any fluid was blocking their airways.

The kittens were all quite healthy.

Huo Yu watched with a trembling heart, her emotions fluctuating. The tiny, helpless kittens all had their eyes closed, unable to stand up, and were protected by the tabby cat’s paws.

These small kittens, weak and without any survival ability, relied entirely on their tabby cat mother.

Huo Yu keenly felt the wonders of life.

Seeing the tabby cat looking somewhat weak, while Lin Shuwei was cleaning the kittens, Huo Yu fetched some nutritious cat food and placed it on a small plate, offering it to the tabby cat.

With everything going smoothly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Your clothes need to be changed. Come with me, I’ll get you a new outfit.” Huo Yu noticed stains on Lin Shuwei’s clothes, probably from being in contact with amniotic fluid or something else while holding the cat.

“Okay, thank you.” Lin Shuwei smiled and replied.

Huo Yu composed herself and took Lin Shuwei upstairs to her living quarters.

“You can take a bath and change your clothes here. The bathroom has a washing machine with a drying function.” Huo Yu informed Lin Shuwei.

“Okay, thank you.” Lin Shuwei looked at Huo Yu with gentle eyes.

“Ding, Lin Shuwei wanted to touch the host’s face, happiness points -100.”

“Ding, Lin Shuwei wanted to ruffle the host’s hair, happiness points -100.”

Huo Yu heard 006’s announcements but didn’t pay attention to Lin Shuwei.

“You can take care of it yourself, I’ll leave!” Huo Yu said with a stern face, turning around and leaving.

“Ding, Lin Shuwei was charmed by the host, happiness points +100.”

Charmed? Charmed my ass! Huo Yu cursed inwardly as she quickly opened and closed the door, heading downstairs.

“Big Sister Yu, should we call the father of the little tabby?” Lin Shuxiao asked Huo Yu when she arrived downstairs.

“The father of the little tabby? Who is it? Do you know?” Huo Yu had been wondering about that just now.

“I guess it’s that big ragdoll cat named Elizabeth. The tabby cat has only been close to it. If you look at the three kittens, they resemble it a bit.” Lin Shuxiao said.

After cleaning the three kittens, their fur colors became visible.

One had a tabby pattern on half of its face behind the ear, while the others were mostly white—one pure tabby and one pure white with black paws.

The father must be a white cat.

The tabby cat had a strong fighting spirit and didn’t easily let other cats approach, except for Gu Nanzhen’s ragdoll, Elizabeth. It was closer to her. Previously, to play with Elizabeth, she had stayed at the Cat Apartment for a while, coming out to play with other cats after the quarantine period.

“Elizabeth is male?!” Huo Yu was shocked. Elizabeth had always been dressed up by Gu Nanzhen like a princess, wearing various headbands and fancy collars. Every time she appeared, she looked glamorous and haughty, looking down on other cats.

“Yeah.” Lin Shuxiao confirmed.

“Most likely it’s him! This scumbag cat! We have to call him!” Huo Yu immediately took out her phone and called Gu Nanzhen.

Huo Yu had talked to cats when she transformed into a cat, and in her mind, they had become vivid, alive creatures with stories, more so than some people.

After being helped by the tabby cat several times, her feelings towards it were naturally different.

Elizabeth needed to take responsibility for what he had done.

“Gu Nanzhen, quickly bring your cat to the Cat Apartment. His wife has given birth!” Huo Yu angrily called Gu Nanzhen.

“Elizabeth’s wife? What the hell is going on! Elizabeth has cleanliness OCD and is frigid. He doesn’t get along with anyone!” Gu Nanzhen was astonished.

“Just bring him here first. They’ve already given birth, and it looks like they’re his offspring. Don’t even think about denying it! You’ll have to provide half of the kitten food!” Huo Yu said.

“If they are ours, we definitely won’t shirk responsibility. Wait a moment, I’ll bring Elizabeth over right away.” Gu Nanzhen said.

Huo Yu hung up the phone and went to check on the tabby cat again. The kittens were already nursing.

“Is your husband the one? Is he the father of the kittens?” Huo Yu took out her phone and opened Gu Nanzhen’s Moments to find a photo of Elizabeth, then asked the tabby cat.

The tabby cat glanced at the photo and meowed a few times toward Huo Yu.

“Um, can you translate for me?” Huo Yu asked 006.

It was broad daylight, surrounded by glass, and she couldn’t easily transform into a cat to communicate with the tabby cat.

“Sure, it’s 50 points per translation. It says, ‘It’s that damn scumbag! Where the hell did he go? Can’t find him anywhere!'” 006 said.

“Um…” Huo Yu was speechless. The tabby cat was indeed fierce.

“I’ve called him here. He’ll be here soon, no need to worry.” Huo Yu gestured to the tabby cat.

“Big Sister Yu, can you hear what it’s saying?” Lin Shuxiao looked at Huo Yu in astonishment.

“Hehe, I pretend to understand. Just look at its reaction to the photo, it must be that scumbag cat.” Huo Yu said.

Gu Nanzhen also lived nearby, so she arrived quite quickly, in less than half an hour.

She arrived proudly, carrying her large bundle of ragdoll cats.

As soon as Elizabeth entered, he jumped off Gu Nanzhen and headed straight for the cat house where the tabby cat was.

The two cats started meowing at each other through the glass.

It was because the tabby cat had run out to play for a few days and was now isolated from the other cats behind the glass. Elizabeth scratched the glass and meowed.

The tabby cat also meowed.

Huo Yu wanted to transform into a cat and listen to what the two of them were saying.

As she watched these two cats, Huo Yu couldn’t help but sigh. What a legendary fairy tale love story—Cinderella-like rough man in disguise and the domineering CEO in drag!

“Open the door?” Huo Yu saw that both cats were anxious and glanced at Gu Nanzhen.

“Go ahead, go ahead. Anyway, you’re rich. If you get sick, you’ll cover the expenses.” Gu Nanzhen said and leaned in to take a look at the kittens.

“I can’t believe it! It is Elizabeth! What kind of taste does Elizabeth have? I’ve found so many exquisite female cats for it, but it only took a liking to this disfigured tabby cat. How fierce!” Gu Nanzhen exclaimed in surprise.

“Admit it, alright? What kind of taste do you have? The tabby cat has personality and wildness.” Huo Yu said.

“This one can be considered your family’s cat now, right? Hahaha, we’ve become in-laws, haven’t we? Let’s record this week’s episode of Me and My Wealthy Sisters in your Cat Apartment. It’s bound to be fun. These two are so mismatched, yet they found a connection. It’s truly amazing!” Gu Nanzhen laughed.

“You can come to my place to record as well, but there’s a fee for the venue.” Huo Yu said.

“Huo Xiao Yu, you’re so money-minded. Why do you always think about money first?” Gu Nanzhen retorted.

When Lin Shuwei came downstairs, she saw Gu Nanzhen and Huo Yu joking and laughing.

Seeing Huo Yu’s smile, Lin Shuwei thought she looked pretty, but she felt a bit unhappy because Gu Nanzhen was the target of her smile.

After the premiere event, although the WeiHuo CP’s popularity had risen, it was still no match for the Steamed Fish CP.

The weekly show 《Me and My Wealthy Sisters》 was currently airing, full of content. Lin Shuwei didn’t have time to watch it in detail, so she only looked at screenshots and some highly-rated videos, which made her quite jealous.

“Ding, Lin Shuwei witnessed the host talking to Gu Nanzhen, happiness points -400.”

Huo Yu was busy arguing with Gu Nanzhen when she suddenly heard 006’s report. She turned her head and saw Lin Shuwei coming downstairs.

“Oh no! I was so focused on calling Gu Nanzhen that I forgot about Lin Shuwei!” Huo Yu’s forehead started sweating, feeling like Gu Nanzhen was about to deplete all the happiness points she had accumulated.

“Alright, you leave Elizabeth here and go about your own business.” Huo Yu said to Gu Nanzhen.

“You’re kicking me out so soon? I just got here! I also want to see my granddaughter. Even though the breed has decreased by several dozen levels, she’s still my own.” Gu Nanzhen said.

“What’s there to see? They haven’t even opened their eyes or grown yet.” Huo Yu said.

Seeing that Huo Yu wanted her to leave quickly, Gu Nanzhen looked around and noticed Lin Shuwei coming down the stairs. Gu Nanzhen’s expression turned sour.

Lin Shuwei was still wearing Huo Yu’s clothes.

Gu Nanzhen felt like she had caught Huo Yu cheating.

She was very angry.

“Huo Xiao Yu, are you in such a hurry to kick me out because of her? Am I your good sister? You’ve forgotten the old friend after getting a new one. You’re heartless, cruel, and inhumane!” Gu Nanzhen complained with bitterness. With exaggerated acting skills, she grabbed Huo Yu’s arm and started fake crying.

“Gu Nanzhen, are you crazy?” Huo Yu pushed Gu Nanzhen away with disgust.

“I’m not leaving anyway. I want to see my grandson and granddaughter.” Gu Nanzhen changed her expression, hugged her arms, and glanced at Lin Shuwei.

“President Huo, I’m not very good at using your washing machine. Can you help me with it?” Lin Shuwei said to Huo Yu without looking at Gu Nanzhen.

Lin Shuwei came downstairs to find an opportunity to be alone with Huo Yu and have a conversation.

“Well, I’ll take a look.” Huo Yu said and walked towards Lin Shuwei.

“Huo Xiao Yu, you don’t even offer me any hospitality when I come. Can’t you at least offer me something to eat or drink?” Gu Nanzhen complained discontentedly.

“You have hands and feet, can’t you get it yourself?” Huo Yu turned her head and retorted, then went upstairs with Lin Shuxiao.

Gu Nanzhen was furious.

Huo Yu and Lin Shuwei went upstairs and helped Lin Shuwei adjust the washing machine and set the appropriate mode.

“That should do it. The clothes will be dry in a while.” Huo Yu said, looking down. When she raised her head again, her gaze met Lin Shuxiao’s deep eyes.

“President Huo, I’ll be filming and might be away for a few months. I’m a bit worried about Xiao Xiao. Can she work here and stay in the dormitory?” Lin Shuxiao looked at Huo Yu and asked.

“Of course, that’s fine. There’s already a dormitory for employees working here. You can rest assured that Xiao Xiao will stay here. When she starts school, you don’t have to worry. My brother and I will take her to school.” Huo Yu said, intending to leave but was stopped by Lin Shuwei grabbing her arm.

“Thank you very much, President Huo. You’re going to have a lot of trouble. If you have anything in the future, you can come to me for help. No matter what it is. President Huo, whether you consider me a friend or not, I consider you as one. What I said last time was true. Lin Shuwei Studio will give ten percent to Tianyu. In this film, ten percent of the post-distribution earnings from Lin Shuwei Studio will be given to Tianyu.” Lin Shuwei said slowly as if trying to stretch out time.

“Ding, Lin Shuwei wants to kiss the host, happiness points -500.”

“Ding, Lin Shuwei wants to hug the host, happiness points -500.”

Huo Yu wanted to say something about the ten percent Lin Shuxiao mentioned, but she heard the voice of 006 and saw her happiness points plummeting rapidly.

She only saw Lin Shuxiao’s lips move slightly and watched as Huo Yu’s body leaned down and then returned to its original position.

“Ding…”

Before 006 could announce anything, Huo Yu reached out and embraced Lin Shuwei.

If her happiness points dropped any further, she would probably turn into a cat on the spot!
