Feelings of Admiration Are Understandable

Ruanruan's little paws drooped over her belly. Her face said she couldn't care less about anyone else; she wanted food.

Lu Linyuan carried her outside and summoned a servant to take her and feed her.

"Wipe her down first. Feed her after she's clean, and remember to brush her teeth."

Yes, cats needed their teeth brushed too, or they could easily get cavities and bad breath.

Kittens this young usually wouldn't cooperate with toothbrushing, but Ruanruan had been extremely cooperative with cleaning and toothbrushing from the very beginning. She also obediently let the servant wipe her ears, clean her bottom, and so on, without resisting at all. This made the servant caring for her very happy, and she praised Ruanruan to practically everyone she met.

Although Ruanruan also wanted frequent baths, cat-care advice said cats mustn't be bathed too often or they could develop skin conditions, so she could only do as she was told.

"You haven't seen it. Ruanruan is the best-behaved cat I've ever seen. It's as if she understands what I say and knows I'm cleaning her. She's so good, it's incredible." The servant's words were full of affection.

"She knows it feels nice when you clean her, so of course she behaves," someone said dismissively.

The servant clicked her tongue. "My daughter has a cat too. It's cute, but it absolutely hates having its teeth brushed and runs away as soon as it sees the toothbrush. Not every cat is this obedient and sensible."

On hearing that, the other person agreed and didn't argue further. Later, as more servants met Ruanruan, they all came to know how sweet and well-behaved she was. Everyone truly loved her, and anyone who didn't see her would ask what she'd been up to that day.

Ruanruan was happy that the household servants liked her. It meant her days would only get better and better. Otherwise, if even one person took a dislike to her and pulled a little trick behind her back, she'd have more trouble than she could handle.

Lu Linyuan's villa in the city center had become her cozy nest, and she was also a source of joy for all the staff.

By the time Lu Linyuan had finished breakfast, Ruanruan had been cleaned up and fed. She lounged comfortably in her cat bed, every inch of her lazy and relaxed.

When she saw him coming over, Ruanruan flicked her tail.

He walked over and scooped her up.

"I'll take you to the office today, since you had a shot yesterday." He seemed to feel sorry for her having to get an injection, but he also wanted to bring her along to keep him company while he worked.

Ever since he'd grown accustomed to having Ruanruan with him at the office, he'd felt as though something was missing throughout the workday yesterday after his younger sister took her away.

When Ruanruan heard he was taking her to the office, she was happier than anyone. After all, being home alone as a cat was pretty boring.

She had actually grown used to going to the office lately too. Because of her, fencing had been installed around the office floor below the president's to keep her from running out, so she could hop and skip around freely. A litter box, an automatic water dispenser, and a cat food dispenser had also been placed in a corner, and there was even a cat treadmill and other such things.

The president's office occupied two levels, with an elevator that went straight down and a staircase with handrails leading to the work area below.

After bringing Ruanruan to the company, Lu Linyuan put her down on the lower floor. She ran straight to the cat treadmill, got on, and ran a few steps before wandering around to watch everyone work.

As she walked, Ruanruan came to the break room. Rather than a break room, it was more like a well-equipped lounge, with exercise equipment, a coffee shop, and other drinks. Some people even brought their laptops in to work, making it a particularly relaxed place.

Ruanruan went over to the beanbag chairs, lay down on one, and prepared to go back to sleep.

Only a few minutes after she closed her eyes, two people walked over.

She glanced at them. They were a man and a woman. The man wore a custom-tailored suit and carried a coffee as he sat down in a nearby chair. The young woman sat opposite him with a cup of tea.

As soon as they sat down, the man took a sip of coffee and said with feigned surprise, "Don't tell me you've fallen for the president?" His tone was a little teasing.

The young woman hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, saying she hadn't.

"No, no, how would I dare like the president? He's so outstanding, and I'm just an ordinary employee. Why would you think that?"

"Every other word out of your mouth is about the president, so I thought you liked him. But it's fine if you do. Plenty of people at the company like the president. He's handsome, comes from a good family, and he's capable too." He spoke in a leisurely tone.

The young woman gave an awkward laugh. "I know my place."

The man nodded and said nothing more. Only after the young woman picked up her teacup and hurried away did he say mockingly, "As if any of you could ever dream of having the president."

Then he took out a little mirror he'd brought with him, examined his face from one side and then the other, and muttered, "I'm the only one at this company worthy of the president."

Ruanruan had good hearing, and those words gave her a fright. No way, is the president that popular?

Have men and women alike all fallen for him this hard?

She was just about to take a good look at how handsome this narcissistic man was when he spotted her first. After looking at her for a moment, he suddenly smiled, put his things down, and picked her up from the beanbag chair.

"Oh, cutie, there you are. You've been so busy playing. Come on, I'll take you back." His tone seemed gentle, but his movements were forceful.

Ruanruan clearly wanted to get out of his arms, but he held her tight, afraid she'd run away.

The man took the stairs up, stroking Ruanruan's back with one hand. Once upstairs, he greeted the people at the secretaries' desk, then went straight to the office door and knocked.

"Come in-" Lu Linyuan's voice came from inside.

The man opened the door and hurried in, spouting nonsense. "I just saw Ruanruan going around in circles downstairs. Maybe she missed you, so I brought her up."

Black lines filled Ruanruan's forehead. You're lying through your teeth! I was lying perfectly happily on the beanbag chair!

Lu Linyuan reached out and took Ruanruan. He gave an "mm" and said nothing more, and the man promptly turned and left.

Clearly, he had only wanted to show his face and had no intention of revealing his feelings.

He didn't even give Ruanruan a chance to bare her teeth at him.

Damn it, you found a chance to show your face in front of the president, but did you ask me what I thought? Now I'll have to walk all the way back downstairs!

"Meow-" Ruanruan meowed angrily in the direction the man had gone.

Lu Linyuan rubbed her head. "Why do you look so unhappy to see me? Can't you stand staying here with me?"

Ruanruan was like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to voice her suffering. She could only soothe the young master first and keep him from letting his thoughts run wild.

She had only been baring her teeth at that narcissistic guy.

But when she thought about how the young master was admired by such a scheming person, who had even used her, a cat, as a pretext, she felt a little uneasy. She couldn't help feeling that there would be more trouble later.

If only she could speak, she would be sure to tell the young master what she'd seen.

Uh, if she could speak, wouldn't the young master take her for a monster?

It would be terrible if she were the one sent away first. Forget it. Human affairs had nothing to do with her, and she couldn't speak anyway.

She could only hope that person didn't try anything, or her claws weren't just for show, hmph!

Ruanruan had received the young master's kindness and ate and slept well, so naturally she wouldn't allow anyone else to hurt him.

She understood having feelings of admiration, but using a cat to show himself off was a little hard for her to accept.

She had committed this person to memory. His employee badge had said he was Qiao Yi, the deputy team leader of the design department!
