Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Your Whole Family Are Stray Cats

Thankfully, these two lovers lost in their affectionate embrace are still here, otherwise she would have had to run back to the hall to seek help from Luo Yifan.

Of course, that wasn’t really impossible, but she didn’t know why she was simply unwilling to run back to the hall to ask Luo Yifan for help.

"Yuan’er!"

Le Tong called out from a distance, and the two people cuddling over there suddenly separated, turning their heads simultaneously to look at Le Tong and Ji Baby.

"Tongtong, you..."

Luo Yuanyuan recognized Ji Baby. Although not very familiar, the little guy is the kind of child that’s unforgettable after just one glance, so Luo Yuanyuan immediately recognized Ji Baby.

There was surprise in Luo Yuanyuan’s eyes, as if she couldn’t figure out how Le Tong ended up hanging out with Ji Baby, especially with the two of them holding hands in such a close manner.

This Ji Baby is incredibly difficult to deal with, and in high society, it’s something everyone knows. Luo Yuanyuan had heard admired young ladies of Ji Rui mention that wanting to touch Ji Baby’s little finger was as hard as reaching the heavens.

However, Le Tong was calmly holding this little demon’s hand without issue; perhaps they had known each other for a while?

But how come Le Tong never mentioned it?

Ji Family protects Ji Baby very well. Logically, Le Tong was just a regular employee of the Ji Family, and the chance of her knowing Ji Baby was very low.

Le Tong saw confusion and surprise in Luo Yuanyuan’s eyes and winked at her as a sign not to say anything unnecessary.

Although Luo Yuanyuan isn’t very meticulous, she’s known Le Tong for five or six years now and is quite familiar with these little actions of hers. She understood that Le Tong didn’t want her to say anything unnecessary, so she wisely refrained from asking more, and turned her gaze to the two kittens in her arms.

When she saw Le Tong lifting her long dress to wrap the kittens, she couldn’t help but scream.

"Ah! Tongtong, do you know how much this dress costs? And now it’s ruined by these two stray cats!"

Le Tong wanted to clarify something, but Ji Baby beside her listened to Luo Yuanyuan’s words and fiercely glared at Luo Yuanyuan, snarling, "You’re the stray cat! Your whole family is a bunch of stray cats!"

Le Tong hadn’t expected Ji Baby’s temper to be so bad. Surely it’s because Luo Yuanyuan insulted the two kittens he liked, which made him upset!

Le Tong bent down slightly and comforted the irate Ji Baby. "Baby, that sister is just speaking casually. She doesn’t truly think the kittens are stray cats!"

"Baby will tell Grandpa that Sister Luo bullied baby’s kittens!" Ji Baby pointed at Luo Yuanyuan and huffed coldly.

"Uh!" Luo Yuanyuan seemed surprised Ji Baby recognized her, "You know who I am?"

Ji Baby raised his head and looked at Luo Yuanyuan with an expression like she was an idiot. "Of course, isn’t today your brother’s birthday?"

Miffed at being called out so rudely by a little brat, Luo Yuanyuan got a bit angry, but the fact remained it was Ji Rui’s precious son, reminding her that she couldn’t afford to offend him!

What she couldn’t understand was that this little brat was combative towards her, but around Le Tong, he was so obediently adorable, allowing her to hold his little hand.

Le Tong saw her friend getting agitated by Ji Baby, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Yuan’er, does your brother’s house have a doctor? This big kitten’s paw is injured and needs immediate attention."

Ji Baby and Luo Yuanyuan’s attention returned to the kittens, "Usually there is, but today’s my brother’s birthday, and Grandpa said having doctors around is bad luck, so he gave them the day off!"

Le Tong frowned, and upon hearing that, Ji Baby squeezed her hand tighter, "Sister, what do we do? Will the kitty mommy die?"

Ji Baby’s small face was pitiful, his dark eyes glimmered with slight tears.

Le Tong’s heart twisted painfully, and she couldn’t help but lower her head to nuzzle his face, firmly promising.

"No! Sister won’t lie to baby!" When dealing with children, Le Tong’s heart always softens easily, and her tone is especially gentle, which is how she is with her neighbor Wenwen, as well as with Ji Baby.

"There may not be doctors, but surely there’s a medical kit?" Le Tong looked up and asked Luo Yuanyuan.

"Yes, I’ll take you to get it."

Luo Yuanyuan finally stood up, took a few steps, and then turned to Xu Tao, who had been silent all along, saying, "Since Tongtong’s companion isn’t here, go help my brother entertain the guests."

At this mention, Le Tong glared at Luo Yuanyuan with annoyance, "Oh, Miss Luo remembers today is her brother’s birthday?"

Luo Yuanyuan waved her hand with a knowing expression, "Alright, alright, isn’t it because I couldn’t stay with you? I’d love to, but my brother has to agree to let me, doesn’t he?!" The implication is that her disappearance at the beginning of the party was actually instigated by Luo Yifan.

Luo Yuanyuan led Le Tong, Ji Baby, and the two sleepy kittens snugly nestled in Le Tong’s arms back to the main house quickly, but it was quiet here, clearly, the house is not the same as the banquet hall.

"Tongtong, you stay here, I’ll go get the medicine kit." Luo Yuanyuan brought the two to the living room, motioning for them to sit.

Le Tong was relieved to have found Luo Yuanyuan, otherwise, to help the kittens, she’d surely have to return to the banquet hall to ask Luo Yifan for help.

"Sister, sister, look, they’re sleeping!"

Ji Baby remained a child, and though he was full of antagonism and spikes against Luo Yuanyuan earlier, he’d already forgotten about it, with his shining eyes staring curiously at the kittens in Le Tong’s arms.

"Hmm, it’s too cold outside, it’s warm in here, so they’re dozing off." Le Tong patiently explained.

Ji Baby cautiously reached out to stroke the kitten’s head, then looked up at Le Tong, "Sister, can baby hold the kitten?"

Le Tong nodded, "Of course you can!"

Ji Baby finally pulled his little hand from Le Tong’s grasp, happily cupping the kitten from her arms, pouting as he gently kissed the fluffy head.

He was enamored with the kitten, and compared to his earlier aggressive, hedgehog-like behavior towards Luo Yuanyuan, oddly, it made Le Tong feel quite sad.

The story goes, Ji Baby is an adored little emperor within the Ji Family, perhaps that’s why he is so arrogant and spoiled. But ultimately, he’s just a naive five-year-old child, who can be overwhelmingly happy at a kitten others abandoned.

"Does baby like kittens?"

Almost enchanted, Le Tong’s hand unconsciously reached out as if to pinch the little guy’s bright and chubby cheeks, and just as her hand was about to touch his skin, she suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly pulling her hand away, relocating her gaze from the face so resembling Ji Rui’s.

"Yes, but Daddy doesn’t like them..." Ji Baby said in a muffled voice with a tone of grievance, gently brushing the kitten’s head with his chubby little hand.
