So Little Su had a dark history like this? I'm dying—she got dumped by a cat and held a grudge for the rest of her life.
Maybe I should try giving her the cold shoulder for a while and see how she reacts. Heh.
As Jiang Linyuan thought about it, he realized something else was extremely strange.
Little Su cared so much about saving face. Why would she casually tell the Department Head about something like that?
Weren't the two of them on terrible terms?
Shen Wanyu kept her eyes closed and said,
"Ask."
Can't you read minds?!
"Too lazy. You ask."
Wow, not even pretending anymore.
"Department Head, how did you know about this?"
"She left her cat with me."
Shen Wanyu spoke lightly.
Jiang Linyuan sensed something was off and cautiously asked,
"Did you know when the cat ran away?"
"Mm."
Shen Wanyu nodded.
"I watched it run out. It wasn't my cat, after all."
"Department Head, have you considered that this might be why Little Su holds a grudge against you?"
Jiang Linyuan asked.
"Is that so?"
Shen Wanyu thought about it, but didn't seem to care. She said offhandedly,
"Then so be it."
He'd thought the Department Head genuinely didn't know why she was disliked, but now it seemed she simply didn't care at all.
Still, the Department Head actually kept cats?
"Jiang Linyuan."
Shen Wanyu said his name again, her calm eyes fixed on him.
"I wouldn't keep someone else's cat. Any cat I keep would belong to me."
Jiang Linyuan paused, then asked,
"What kind of cat would you consider yours, Department Head?"
Shen Wanyu looked away and said coolly,
"First, it has to like me as its owner. Whether I like it or not is up to me, of course."
