Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan returned to the Hibiscus Garden, Ah Fu ran out and reported, “Mistress, the yellow cat had been dispirited the whole day and didn’t eat at all. You probably should go look at it!”
Hearing that, Mu Chenyan thought, ‘Little Ginger Fur Ball, that fat cat, doesn’t want to eat, it must be ill!’
She did not even change and went straight to the little garden on the third floor.
As expected, Little Ginger Fur Ball did not mew at her nor approached her joyfully as usual. Instead, it laid in its new bed lethargically, its black eyes swirling with a watery gleam.
Briquet, on the other hand, was different from its usual, calm self as it scampered toward Mu Chenyan impatiently.
“Meow meow…” Briquet sounded upset. Its wife was sick, so it looked worried. There were toys pooling around Little Ginger Fur Ball, it must be Briquet’s attempt to cheer Little Ginger Fur Ball up, by bringing it toys.
“Briquet, don’t worry, Ginger was just sick. Lemme look at it, it should be fine.”
Mu Chenyan comforted Briquet and brushed its coal-black fur.
“Meow meow…” Briquet followed Mu Chenyan, hopping and skipping behind her.
Mu Chenyan bent down and picked up Little Ginger Fur Ball. The yellow cat was mewing miserably at Mu Chenyan, its voice not as rich as before. On the fur near to the corner of its eyes was some sticky secretion.
Mu Chenyan patted Little Ginger Fur Ball’s stomach. It was bloated and hard, so no wonder it could not eat.
Yuan Xuan came in after changing. He took over Little Ginger Fur Ball, inspecting it and said, “This glutton. Ah Fu said it’s eaten double the amount Briquet did for breakfast. It was already fat and clumsy, doesn’t have as much exercise as Briquet, and it eats so much. It must be having indigestion.”
“What do we do?”
Mu Chenyan was a little anxious. She had liked cats since young, more so since these two were gifted to her by Yuan Xuan!
She thought in anxiety that among the whole of the Yuan Family Mansion, only the two cats were not the scheming type, especially Little Ginger Fur Ball. Its falling sick had scared Mu Chenyan dearly.
“It’s night time. Not even pet shops are open, what do we do?”
Mu Chenyan thought, ‘Pets can’t go to the emergency ward. Or I’ll take Little Ginger Fur Ball there right away.’
Yuan Xuan laughed, there was a doctor at home, was there not?
He turned around and yelled, “Ah Fu, go to the Tranquility Mansion and call Fifth Miss!”
A half-hour later.
The youngest, prettiest cardioneurologist of the military hospital, Yuan Tian, turned into Luo Hai’s number one socialite mistress’s personal cat doctor.
Yuan Tian massaged Little Ginger Fur Ball’s stomach as she fed it some medicine that aids digestion.
Ginger stretched comfortably. Even Briquet was running around happily…
All three of the Yuan Family had studied medicine and surgery, so their house was stocked with some common medicine. Sometimes, when Old Mistress had headaches or bouts of fever, the family doctor, as well as Yuan Tian, would offer their expertise.
However, in this day, she was forced into service for a cat. Aside from Third Young Master Yuan, who else was able to do such a thing?
“Mu Chenyan, you have been feeding this cat so much, were you trying to eat cat meat in the future?”
Seeing Ginger had successfully grown into a ball, Yuan Tian poked its belly.
Little Ginger Fur Ball protested weakly, afraid that Mu Chenyan might have taken it seriously and turned it into a cat stew…
“I can’t control it, it kept eating and eating, and finally, it ate something bad…”
Seeing Little Ginger Fur Ball’s lazy demeanor, Mu Chenyan felt guilty. Other people spoiled their children, and she spoiled her cat. She pampered Little Ginger Fur Ball too much, how would she be willing to eat cat meat?
Yuan Xuan wore a set of soft, brown casual clothing and sat at the tea table. He crossed his legs and drank his tea gracefully.
His eyes darted between the two cat-playing women, his lips slightly upturned.
“Just observe, it’ll be fine.”
Forced Labor Yuan looked up and saw her trust-fund-baby brother relaxing and immediately became triggered.
A beautiful, talented, charismatic cardioneurologist like her was only treated like a veterinarian by Third Young Master Yuan of the house…
Yuan Tian was a little choked with silent fury. Her eyes rolled around a little and she said with a sweet voice, “Third Brother, I’m already used as a forced worker, can I have a little incentive?”
“Spill!”
Yuan Xuan’s spoke softly, his handsome face carrying a hint of sloth. ‘You’ve only saved an overeating fat cat, what can you ask for?’
Yuan Tian pulled Mu Chenyan to her side and held her arm. She flashed Yuan Xuan a smile and said, “I want your wife to accompany me tonight!”
Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard.
Yuan Xuan snorted. His attractive eyes on his dapper face glinted with coldness, expressing his dissatisfaction.
The man looked at Mu Chenyan, his voice was magnetic. “What about yours truly? I will spend my lonely night, sleepless in my own bed!”
“Pfft…”
Yuan Tian picked up her cup and had just taken a sip before Yuan Xuan’s dramatic humor forced her to spit it out.
Yuan Tian’s face was red as she smiled in mischievous thoughts.
Her brother was not as unlikeable as she thought, he had this side of cheekiness!
“You can hug Briquet, I guess. What a coincidence, it doesn’t have its wife by its side as well!”
Having said that, Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at Yuan Xuan and dumped Briquet into Yuan Xuan’s arms.
Briquet, “Meow… I agree, I want to sleep by daddy…”
Yuan Xuan was speechless.
Yuan Tian was secretly happy. When they were young, Mu Chenyan and her used to play together. Two adolescent girls sleeping in one bed, having their girls’ talk.
Yuan Xuan who was dumped for the night took his long strides with Briquet in his arms as he went downstairs in silence. Mu Chenyan and a grinning Yuan Tian went to the guest room.
After changing into pajamas, Yuan Tian rolled in the bed excitedly, exposing her fair belly.
It had been a while since Mu Chenyan had such a relaxing night. She procured two packets of yogurt drink and gave one to Yuan Tian. They spent some time in silence, drinking the yogurt drink.
Two women laid in bed, one of which was enchanting and charming, the other pure and untainted, forming a scenery on its own.
“Yuan Tian, Zhao Ruoxin is actually Shu Qinger…”
After a while, Mu Chenyan said suddenly, her tone composed.
“Pfft…” Yuan Tian spat her yogurt all over her own face embarrasingly.
“What… who’s Qinger?”
Mu Chenyan passed Yuan Tian a piece of paper towel. Yuan Tian asked as she was wiping her face.
“Qinger hasn’t passed away, the dead one is the real Zhao Ruoxin!”
After a long period of holding in the secret, Mu Chenyan had to confide in someone.
However, the secret would soon be public knowledge. Shu Qinger’s identity would, sooner or later, be exposed.
“What’s wrong?”
Yuan Tian finished wiping her face, but she was still clueless about the news.
Mu Chenyan recounted the whole story to Yuan Tian. However, she kept the parts where Qinger was violated in the UK and played by her stepfather and Xia Tao hidden.
After all, saying these stories would only make it more embarrassing for Qinger in the Yuan Family.
“Wait, Ye Kun?” Yuan Tian was pensive. Her tiny face was flushed, like any normal young lady’s.
“He must be the mysterious patient my dad hid!”
