Don't know if it was because its injured so it couldn't move, or because it sensed his goodwill, Xue Zimu successfully touched the kitten's dirty fur. He gently stroked its entangled fur a few times, then extended his other hand.

This time, the kitten didn't resist. Xue Zimu hugged it, placing the small thing comfortably on top of his palm and close to his chest, making it seem especially docile.

But Xue Zimu frowned. The reason the kitten allowed him to move it was probably not because it trusted him, rather because it was too injured. Thinking that it could become cold after having touched his warm body, Xue Zimu immediately stood up, glanced at the unmoving car and took out his phone.

Xue Lin didn't clearly see what he was doing before until he stood up, and she discovered that he was wearing a high graded suit to go hear the symphony. But unexpectedly, he was embracing an extremely dirty cat. She impulsively felt disgusted and recollected herself to painfully shout: "Don't you dare think of bringing that thing inside the car, you definitely won't have enough to pay for the car's cleaning!" It could be said that it's hard to change one's nature, the earnest advice Yao Yue gave to Xue Lin didn't have much effect. She couldn't maintain peace with Xue Zimu.


Xue Zimu turned a deaf ear to Xue Lin's voice and quietly used his phone to call for a car, preparing to send the kitten to a hospital. Even if Xue Lin was going to be late for the concert, she would be unwilling to take a taxi. She wanted for someone to drive from the Xue household to here, but Xue Zimu's taxi came much faster than the Xue Family's car.

Xue Lin watched blankly as Xue Zimu carried the cat into the taxi, then again angrily kicked a stone.

Jing City's most prosperous business district has many high-rise buildings. Even if it wasn't peak hours, the traffic was still tight. Qi Yan stood on the top floor of one of these tall buildings and looked through the glass to see ant-sized people and cars coming and going, with a slightly frown.


Another person from the office saw him like this and couldn't help but to say: "Okay A'Yan, isn't it just that the meeting is postponed to tomorrow, It's not a big deal. We can rarely get off work early, let's go relax and find something fun to do?"


The person who spoke was Xu Chi. Today, Qi Yan wanted to discuss a cooperation with L Country's MS company, but in the end, the representative send by the other party was very unreliable. Not only did they buy the ticket at the agreed meeting time, but they also overslept and missed the flight. It disrupted Qi Yan's work plan.


Qi Yan dislike these kinds of people the most, ones lacking a sense of responsibility. After receiving the news, his face has continuously been gloomy. Xu Chi knew his childhood friend had a little obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to this field, and could only encourage him to not take it to heart. Although he was used to it, Qi Yan's icy face made it hard for anyone to relax. Qi Yan has always been like a precise machine, obsessed with work and lacking any fun. Xu Chi has always felt that he should relax that serious face.

However, Qi Yan was obviously not willing to accept his suggestion. He expressionlessly asked: "Have what fun?"

This was a rhetorical question, but Xu Chi thought about the answer earnestly. Before he could figure it out, he received a message on his phone. He took it out and looked at it. It was Xu Lan asking him to pick him up at the concert hall later.
