Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Sister, you won’t lie to Baobao, right?

Finally, after several minutes, she saw the kitten crying miserably under an osmanthus tree.

The kitten had long snow-white fur and looked like it had been born only a few days ago, barely able to stand. It was likely accidentally separated from its mother cat and was here calling for help!

Le Tong cautiously walked over, squatted down, "Meow... meow...," fearing she might scare the kitten, gently mimicked the frequency of a cat’s call.

The kitten timidly turned its head to look at her, its small body continuously trembling in the cold wind.

Human and cat stared at each other for a moment.

After Le Tong meowed softly over a dozen times, the kitten finally responded with a long "Meow..."

Le Tong slowly reached out her hand, trying to pet the kitten’s head.

The kitten shrank back a little, staring at her, but didn’t mean to walk away.

Le Tong’s hand gently landed on the kitten’s head. Seeing it didn’t escape, she daringly swept her hand over its head one stroke at a time.

Initially, the kitten fearfully looked at her, but slowly seemed to feel the warmth in her hands and proactively rubbed its head against her hand.

In fact, Le Tong had been sitting in the cold wind for so long wearing a sexy dress, her hands had become icy. The kitten rubbed against her hand not to seek real warmth but rather a kind of spiritual support.

Seeing the kitten always shaking, Le Tong tried scratching at its belly, and the kitten seemed to quite enjoy it, closing its eyes and leaning its body against her hand.

Le Tong straightforwardly picked it up, seeing it was shaking vigorously, then sat with it on a nearby chair. She placed the kitten on her lap and seeing it still trembling, opened her skirt with a bow to wrap it, leaving only its round, small cat head exposed.

Le Tong looked down at this kitten roughly the size of her palm. Nearby, she faintly heard "Meow... meow..." and this time, it was a loud and anxious call.

The kitten originally nestled on her lap struggled to stand, but with Le Tong’s skirt wrapped around it, it couldn’t move and could only softly "Meow... meow..." in response.

Le Tong thought, the louder meowing should be from the kitten’s mom calling, judging by the sound getting closer. Staying put would allow the kitten to reunite with its mother.

Le Tong gently soothed the kitten’s head to comfort it, looked up to glance around, listening to the sound that was very close, it seemed the mommy cat had also heard the kitten’s cries.

Le Tong guessed rightly. Soon, the loud cat crying came around a corner, followed by a young boy’s figure swiftly crashing into her view!

More startling to Le Tong than the mother cat the boy was holding was the boy himself!

This young boy was none other than the little Lord of the Ji Family she wanted to avoid right now—President Ji’s treasured son!

That little boy she briefly met from afar was indeed much more handsome and pretty than she had imagined.

Although describing a boy with the words handsome and pretty seems odd, the boy’s features were perfectly shaped, lacking Ji Rui’s coldness and rigidity; thick dark brows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips looked genuinely pleasant and indeed charming.

Le Tong looked dazedly as the boy walked closer, her mind seemingly crashing into a blank state!

"Sister!"

As soon as Ji Baby saw Le Tong, his eyes lit up, calling out happily.

Le Tong was pulled back to reality by his clear, crisp call, smiled at him, yet Ji Baby’s attention was not on her but firmly fixed on the kitten on her lap.

"Meow... meow..."

The mother cat in his arms meowed more urgently and pitifully upon seeing the kitten.

"Sister, is the kitten okay?"

Ji Baby holding the mother cat ran up to Le Tong, she didn’t quite understand his words initially, but upon seeing the fresh red blood on his snow-white sweater, realized the mother cat’s foot was injured and still bleeding.

Le Tong steadied herself, hastily opened her skirt, disregarding how it might stain the dress, quickly urged the boy, "Brother, give me the mother cat!"

Ji Baby seemed to trust her greatly, gently handed over the mother cat onto her lap cooperatively.

"Sister, will the mother cat die?"

Ji Baby didn’t look at Le Tong but instead watched the two cats, softly stroking both their heads tenderly as he asked her.

Le Tong inexplicably felt a pang of sorrow, perhaps thinking of her own mother!

She placed one hand on the two cats’ backs and gently rubbed Ji Baby’s head, softly comforting him.

"Brother, don’t worry. The mother cat only has a minor injury. We’ll take it to see a doctor, and it will be fine soon."

"Really? Sister, you won’t lie to Baby, right?"

Ji Baby looked up, his sparkling eyes gazing at Le Tong.

Le Tong nodded heavily at him, sincerely promising, "Yes, sister won’t lie to Baby!"

While speaking, Le Tong reached over to examine the mother cat’s paw, seriously looking at it, noticing not only was it bleeding, but it also seemed broken.

"Baby, let’s take the cats to find a doctor!"

Without hesitation, Le Tong wrapped the two cats, both big and small, in her skirt and gently cradled them.

The two cats obediently complied, the mother cat licking the kitten’s face now, while the kitten contentedly closed its eyes.

Ji Baby joyfully watched the two cats and naturally used his small hands to hold Le Tong’s hand.

"Sister, do you know the doctor here?"

Le Tong hesitated briefly, realizing this was the Luo Family and she didn’t know any doctors here.

But facing Ji Baby’s hopeful eyes, her words turned affirmative, "Yes, I do! Baby, no need to worry!"

The little guy’s hands were warm and soft, and Le Tong was surprisingly reluctant to let go.

Despite Ji Baby being typically resistant to strangers, he voluntarily held her hand and willingly followed her, leaving people utterly astonished.

Cradling the two cats, with Ji Baby’s hand in hers, Le Tong slowly walked towards a familiar direction, based on prior memory. Finally, when she saw two figures cuddling in the distant pavilion, she exhaled a long breath of relief.

Fortunately, those engrossed lovers were still here intimately, or else she would have to run back to the hall and seek help from Luo Yifan.

Of course, that wouldn’t be impossible, but for some reason, she just didn’t want to go back to the hall and seek help from Luo Yifan.
