Chapter 119 The Cat Returns 3
Yi Zeyu watched Yi Changfan's departing figure, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes. He stood up and kicked over the table.
He yelled at Yi Changfan's door, "Get out! You'd better move out tomorrow! Otherwise, I'll throw that damn cat out!"
Yi Zeyu stormed back to his room.
Yi Changfan finally lowered his hand from Shen Chumo's ears. Shen Chumo raised her head to look at him and meowed sweetly at him.
A smile appeared on Yi Changfan's face, gradually spreading and even his eyes were filled with laughter.
He reached out and scratched Shen Chumo's chin with his finger, whispering, "Momo, you're so good."
His voice was deep and gentle, full of doting affection. Shen Chumo squinted comfortably, making a gurgling sound in his throat.
Having played enough, Shen Chumo jumped out of Yi Changfan's arms and looked around the small room. A bed, a wardrobe, and a desk were all that was in the room.
The money Yi Zeyu spent on a pair of shoes was probably equivalent to Yi Changfan's allowance for a year. In this house, even a maid's room probably has more belongings than Yi Changfan.
It's truly pitiful. He's still Yi Hong's biological son. The Yi family is a wealthy and prestigious family. Even if Yi Changfan is an illegitimate child, it's clearly a sin committed by Yi Hong and his mother.
As the head of the family, Yi Hong made a mistake but was not affected in the slightest and continued to live his wealthy life, while Yi Changfan's mother was living a carefree life outside, completely ignoring the suffering her child was enduring in the Yi family.
It seems that Yi Changfan is the one who is suffering all the consequences, but he couldn't choose his background.
He had no right to choose his own birth, yet he had to endure discrimination and unfair treatment from all sides of the Yi family.
In this vast Yi family estate, he was like a forgotten shadow, silently enduring everything.
Yi Changfan opened a can of cat food, placed it on the ground, picked up Shen Chumo and put her in front of the can, and patted her head, "Momo, time to eat."
Shen Chumo originally thought this canned food would smell fishy and smelly, but when she sniffed it with her cat nose, it was unexpectedly fragrant. Shen Chumo felt no more guilty and buried herself in eating it.
Yi Changfan sat on the edge of the bed, took out his phone and started looking for rental properties. Yi Changfan had just started working and had just enough money to find a place to live.
Shen Chumo was naturally happy to see the Yi family move out, after all, living with Yi Zeyu and his wife, who knew how much suffering she would endure.
After finishing her canned food, Shen Chumo began to elegantly wipe her mouth and lick her fur. Since becoming a cat, she couldn't help but smooth out her cat fur, like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She stuck out her little pink tongue and started licking around her mouth, carefully cleaning away the canned food residue that clung to her lips.
Then, she raised her front paws and wiped her face like a little lady, looking very cute.
After cleaning her face, she began licking her body, from her back to her belly and then to her tail, leaving no hair untouched. Her little tongue moved nimbly among the fur, making the already soft fur even smoother.
Yi Changfan watched Shen Chumo quietly from the side, a gentle smile on his face. Why did he find it so interesting just to watch Momo lick its fur?
Moreover, Shen Chumo's elegant posture while licking her fur was like that of a noble young lady, which Yi Changfan could never get enough of looking at.
Shen Chumo noticed Yi Changfan looking at her, and let out a howl at him. Although she was angry, the howl sounded like she was being affectionate.
Her big, round eyes held a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, and her ears twitched slightly back. Finally, Shen Chumo shrank under the table in a bit of embarrassment.
She hid under the table, burying her head in her long tail.
When Yi Changfan saw Shen Chumo hiding, he couldn't help but chuckle softly. He walked to the table, squatted down, and whispered to Shen Chumo, "Momo, why are you being shy?"
Shen Chumo listened, her ears twitched, but she showed no intention of coming out.
Knock, knock, knock. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Yi Changfan stood up and opened the door. Outside was a girl in a white dress. Shen Chumo guessed that this person was most likely Zhou Mengqi.
Zhou Mengqi looked at Yi Changfan with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
With his head down, he said in a muffled voice, "Changfan, may I come to your room for a while?"
Yi Changfan pursed his lips, but finally nodded and stepped aside to let her into the house.
Zhou Mengqi smiled and walked into the house.
Shen Chumo poked her head out, her round eyes scrutinizing Zhou Mengqi. This was the female lead from the original novel, a typical innocent-looking girl, full of purity, like a white jasmine flower.
Unfortunately, what they did was the work of a ruthless and scheming person.
She knew Yi Changfan's situation in the Yi family, yet she still came to him time and time again to ask him to cover for her. Wasn't she just taking advantage of Yi Changfan's kindness?
Zhou Mengqi sat on the bed and saw Shen Chumo. She exclaimed with some surprise, "Wow, what an adorable kitten!"
Ignoring Shen Chumo's struggles, Zhou Mengqi picked her up. "Changfan, is this the kitten you found today? It's so beautiful, even prettier than those purebred cats." As she spoke, she gently stroked Shen Chumo's back.
Shen Chumo didn't like being held by Zhou Mengqi. Her little paws moved restlessly, trying to break free from Zhou Mengqi's embrace.
Seeing that Shen Chumo looked uncomfortable, Yi Changfan frowned and rescued Shen Chumo from Zhou Mengqi's arms.
He said gently to Shen Chumo, "Momo, don't be afraid, it's alright."
Then he turned to Zhou Mengqi and said, "Mengqi, Momo is in a new environment and is not used to it yet. Let's not make it too nervous."
Zhou Mengqi smiled a little shyly, "I'm sorry, Momo, I just like you too much." She leaned closer to Shen Chumo and whispered, "Momo, don't be angry."
That smile was sweet and charming, innocent and carefree.
Shen Chumo ignored her and instead turned and buried herself in Yi Changfan's arms, turning her back to Zhou Mengqi.
Zhou Mengqi's smiling face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly smiled again, her fingers twirling the end of her hair.
As if asking casually, "Changfan, I heard you're going to move out of the Yi family for Momo's sake?"
A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, a hint of surprise and a barely perceptible sense of loss.
Yi Changfan hummed in agreement, his voice like water striking stone.
“MoMo is still young and has been a homeless person. It would be bad if she scratched someone at the Yi family’s house.”
This was just a pretext. In reality, Yi Changfan had already planned to move out of the Yi family home before he started working, and now Momo's arrival was a convenient opportunity.
He looked down at Shen Chumo in his arms, his eyes full of doting affection.
Zhou Mengqi's eyes flickered slightly. "Changfan, you really like this kitten. However, it will be very hard for you to move out on your own. The outside world is not like the Yi family. Although the Yi family is not good to you, at least you have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
Her voice carried a hint of worry, after all, Yi Changfan was one of the few sources of warmth for her in this family.
