Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!
Chapter 137: This Is Not for You

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: This Is Not for You

Shangguan Yu carried Wen Xiao’ai out of the car, and looking at Gu Yao, who was so happy she was nearly crying, he somewhat dared not look her in the eyes.

Gu Yao hurriedly walked up to them, but Shangguan Yu stepped back half a step.

Gu Yao stopped in her tracks, her smile frozen on her face.

Then she smiled, feeling a bit bitter inside, her tears swirling in her eyes.

She comforted herself that it was okay, but she didn’t dare to step forward again, fearing that she might upset him and he would leave again.

"I knew you would come."

The cautious look on Gu Yao nearly brought Shangguan Yu to tears.

Why had things become like this between them...

Shangguan Yu moved his lips, wanting to speak, but he found his throat so sore and swollen that it was difficult to make a sound.

Seeing that Shangguan Yu didn’t speak, Gu Yao felt somewhat helpless and nervous, not even knowing where to place her hands.

Seeing the cat he was holding, a surge of extreme joy filled her heart.

She took a step forward and directly took the cat into her arms.

"Is this for me? I really like it." The tears in her eyes increased.

She didn’t know if her tears were because of the surprise from Shangguan Yu’s sudden appearance and the gift, or the hurt from his retreat just moments before.

"Meow meow~"

It’s not for you, let me go, I want Jun Moyan.

Wen Xiao’ai struggled in her arms.

"Miss Gu, this cat is not for you." Shangguan Yu reached out, trying to take Wen Xiao’ai back.

But Gu Yao held on tightly and would not let go: "Then who is it for?"

She looked at Shangguan Yu, asking with puzzled curiosity.

Many girls had come to her birthday banquet today, could it be a gift for one of them?

The thought of such a possibility caused untamed fear in Gu Yao’s heart.

It can’t be, he can’t like someone else.

"...This is Jun Moyan’s cat."

Gu Yao was stunned.

"Jun Moyan’s?"

"Mmm."

The relief following her fear brought Gu Yao to smile, and she awkwardly handed Wen Xiao’ai back to Shangguan Yu.

Then, like a child expecting candy, she asked with anticipation and nervousness, "Then, then did you prepare a gift for me?"

Shangguan Yu looked up at her, past images flashing before his eyes—

Gu Yao stretched out her hands to him, smiling, "Ayu, where’s my gift?"

Shangguan Yu looked at the hands extended before him, simply took her in one arm, and presented the gift in front of her.

Watching Gu Yao happily unwrapping the gift, Shangguan Yu would say, "Which is more important, the gift or me?"

Gu Yao would always reply, "Do you even need to ask? Of course, the gift."

"I’m not happy now," Shangguan Yu would let go of her, step aside and show he was feeling a bit moody.

Gu Yao would stop unwrapping the gift, holding back her laughter, and ask him, "Are you really jealous of a gift?"

"Mmm, is that not allowed?"

"Are you angry?"

"Mmm, you’re still not coaxing me."

Gu Yao immediately took hold of his arm, tiptoed and kissed his cheek, giggling, "Are you not angry anymore?"

"Still a little," Shangguan Yu turned away slightly.

"Then you continue to be angry. I’m not going to coax you anymore, I’m going back to my gift," Gu Yao said as she let go of him and ran off with the gift.

"Hey you heartless one, wait for me."

Recalling the past and comparing it with the present, Shangguan Yu’s nose tingled, his eyes grew warm, and his heart felt as if it was being wrung out—he wanted to cry and laugh, yet he dared not show it and could only silently endure this pain.

Gu Yao waited eagerly for the gift she had longed for, only to see that Shangguan Yu was just staring blankly at her.

Realizing it belatedly, she understood that him just being there was already a surprise; how could she still expect a gift?

Gu Yao really wanted to graciously say, "It’s okay, it’s enough that you came."
