Chapter 36: Chapter 35: Iâm Not Lying, Your Cat is Dancing Chapter 36: Chapter 35: Iâm Not Lying, Your Cat is Dancing Wenyan sent a message to Shen Jinghe, asking if he had returned from his business trip.
Because the date for joining the cast had been set, she needed to return Shen Pili.
She was using voice-to-text to send this message while Su Yang was right beside her on the sofa, petting the cat.
After the message was sent, Shen Jinghe did not immediately reply.
In fact, Wenyan was not in a hurry.
Instead, it was Su Yang who spoke first, âHas your second brother not replied to you yet?â
âNo,â Wenyan said while glancing at her phone again, âHe might be busy or resting, who knows.â
Su Yang nodded, then bent down to tease the handsome cat in her arms, her tone rather plaintive.
âLittle Pili, do you miss your master, huh? Do you want him to come and pick you up?â
As if understanding, Shen Pili meowed twice.
Wenyan seemed to catch on as well.
[It seems Ms. Su is missing her son, she must be looking forward to Shen Piliâs dad coming to pick him up more than me returning the cat!]
Isnât that the truth?
Thatâs exactly what Su Yang was thinking.
Listening to Wenyanâs thoughts, Su Yang couldnât help but sigh internally, truly, no one knows a mother like her daughter does.
With sparkling eyes, Su Yang fixed her gaze on Wenyan and asked, âYanyan, do you think itâs okay if we ask your second brother to come over and pick up the cat?â
Although she couldnât guarantee Shen Jingheâs agreement, Ms. Suâs eyes were shining with hope.
For a moment, she looked just like a big child eagerly anticipating a gift.
Whatâs wrong with a mother wanting to see her son?
Wenyan smiled, âThen Iâll ask and see.â
âYeah! If he comes early, maybe he can even make it for dinner.â
âDinner today seems unlikely; I still donât know when heâll reply to me.â
Shen Yuan, who was feeding fish at the aquarium, pretended not to be listening with keen interest and said nonchalantly,
âIâm not very hungry today, so having dinner a bit later might be a nice choice.â
Wenyan: [Mr. Shen, saying that in front of us is pointless; you need to say it in front of Shen Jinghe, he wonât know unless you tell him.]
Shen Yuan paused for a moment.
He too wished for that, but after so many years, voicing concern seemed to have become a difficult thing to do.
In the end, they finished dinner without any message from Shen Jinghe.
Seeing Su Yangâs disappointed face, Wenyan couldnât resist sending Shen Jinghe another message.
âBig star, big star, havenât you returned from your business trip yet? Anxiously waiting for your reply.â
After sending that message, Wenyan took two beautiful photos of Shen Pili and sent them to Shen Jinghe.
She thought the message would again be like a stone sinking into the sea, but unexpectedly, this time Shen Jinghe replied instantly.
âJust fell asleep in the car, will be back today.â
Wenyanâs eyes lit up, and she typed quickly.
âThen where are you now, can you swing by the house, Shen Pili misses you, she wants you to take her home.â
Shen Jinghe: ââŠDid Shen Pili tell you that herself?â
Wenyan: âHehe, donât you miss Shen Pili at all?â
âAlright, Iâll be there in an hour.â
âReally? Thatâs great, then Iâll wait for you at home, second brother.â
Wenyan deliberately chose voice-to-text for that last reply.
Because that way, Su Yang could hear the good news too!
True to form, a smile immediately appeared on Su Yangâs face, and even Shen Yuan, who had been stern-faced, seemed to relax a bit.
Su Yang asked, âWhen did your second brother say heâll be back?â
âHe said itâll be another hour.â
âAlright.â
Now more than ever, Su Yang found herself liking Wenyan more and more.
Shen Yuan, who didnât quite like kittens or puppies, found Shen Pili looking much more appealing.
An hour later, Shen Jingheâs car really did stop at the villa entrance.
But he didnât seem to have any intention of getting out, only sending a message asking Wenyan to bring the cat out.
Of course, Wenyan didnât listen to him.
She did go out, but she didnât bring the cat.
âSecond Brother, come on out of the car. Youâre already at the doorstep, why not come in?â
Shen Jinghe looked tired, âIâm just here to pick up the cat. You should have received the notification for the âLost Voiceâ training, right?â
âYes, youâre attending the training too?â
âNonsense.â
âHehe, didnât expect Second Brother to be so dedicated, being a top celebrity and all, itâs really rare.â
âCut the flattery, give me the cat.â
âNo way, Shen Pili doesnât want to leave yet. Sheâs dancing, come down and watch her dance.â
ââŠâŠâ Shen Jinghe looked at Wenyan as if she were an idiot, âIt seems like youâre the one dancing on my last nerve.â
Wenyan: ââŠâŠItâs true, if you donât believe me, come down and see for yourself.â
Shen Jinghe really didnât believe her.
He scoffed, âIf Shen Pili is not dancing when I get there, youâll be the one dancing.â
Heâs fallen for her trick!
However, when Shen Jinghe followed Wenyan into the villa, he foundâŠ
His incredibly handsome Maine Coon cat, Shen Pili, was actually dancing!
Holy hell, dancing!
This cat must be enchanted!
It was staring with its bell-like eyes, fixating on a wind-up toy in front of it.
While staring, it also sashayed its limbs back and forth, occasionally spinning around, and even gave a little butt wiggle at the end.
Just like doing the Cha-Cha.
Shen Jinghe was speechless.
He glanced at Wenyan, then at the toy in front of Shen Pili.
His gaze was anything but unimpressed.
âDid you buy this toad?â
Wenyanâs eyes widened, âThatâs a frog! Are you color blind or something?â
Shen Jinghe gave her a look, then pointed at the cat and asked, âDid you teach her that?â
âShen Pili is naturally charming, I donât have that skill. Itâs more like she should be teaching me.â
Su Yang: âŠâŠ She was about to die laughing. Actually, Wenyan had found the toy about half an hour ago. As for the dance, she hadnât taught it, but she had given some guidance.
Shen Jinghe was at a loss for words, âFine, from aloof to slapstick, youâve got some talent. Hand over the cat carrier.â
Before Wenyan could respond, Su Yang spoke up, âItâs so late, are you still planning to leave? Just stay at home and rest. You know your dad and I have been waiting for you to come back.â
Shen Jinghe gave a cursory glance and really saw Shen Yuan.
Hmm, quite the rarity, he actually wasnât holed up in his beloved study.
Shen Jinghe snorted disdainfully, âWho cares.â
âWhy not care, itâs great to have someone waiting for you at home. Second Brother, take a seat. Since youâre home, I have something I want to ask you about, please.â
Shen Jinghe snorted arrogantly.
âWhy do you keep begging people for help, have you no dignity?â
âOf course, I have dignity, itâs just that no one in this family knows that apart from you, alas.â
Heh, even dignity is up for sale now, ââŠâŠ Fine, letâs hear it.â
Shen Jinghe lazily sat down on the sofa, casually scooping the cat into his arms.
Su Yang and Shen Yuan didnât leave either.
Wenyan straightforwardly asked him about the crew training.
