Chen Hao laughed bitterly. “It’s not that I’m fond of cats. But this black cat is different. You can’t let it roam about outside, something’s bound to happen.”

Incredible!

Zhou Gang paused in surprise and dubiously sized up the black cat.

No matter how he looked at it, it looked like an ordinary cat. Although it was entirely black without stray hairs, which was a little uncommon, there wasn’t anything unusual about it.

But since Chen Hao put it that way, there must be a reason.

Zhou Gang didn’t keep asking. Instead, he said, “Ok, let your sister-in-law tell you all about it. She’s rather fond of cats herself. If it weren’t for Tongtong, if she weren’t afraid that a cat would bring about some bad effects to Tongtong, she would have bought one long ago.”

Just then, Yang Hui walked out of the kitchen. At the sight of Chen Hao, she said with a smile, “Hao’zi, you’re here. Mm, is this your cat?”

By Yang Hui’s side, Tongtong’s eyes lit up too. She quickly ran over and looked at the black cat with sparkling eyes, seemingly wishing to play with it.

Chen Hao smiled and placed the black cat on the floor. “Tongtong, do you like it? Would you like to play with it?”

Delighted, Tongtong beamed and nodded. Then, she immediately squatted down and used her chubby little hand to carefully poke the black cat with a curious expression.

The black cat stared at Chen Hao speechlessly. It seemed to be saying “are you making a fool of me? What happened to buying cat food and eating a sumptuous meal? Why did I suddenly turn into a babysitter?”

Chen Hao said in a small voice, “This is a mission. Be good and play with the child. I’ll give you good food later. Else, stay hungry for today.”

Chen Hao then got up and smiled at Yang Hui. “Yeah, Sister-in-law. I was at the supermarket preparing to buy cat food. But Brother Zhou said those would poison the cats. What’s the deal with this?”

Yang Hui said seriously, “Never buy cat food at supermarkets, regardless of cheap or expensive. Most are problematic. Cats fall sick from eating too much of that. Also, those online group buying sites aren’t safe either.”

Chen Hao paused in surprise. Indeed, there was a problem with them.

Yang Hui continued, “Generally speaking, if you wish to buy cat food, buy it from overseas. That’s what one of my besties does. She has a good source to bring in natural food. Although it’s slightly more expensive, she’s used it for a few years and there have been no problems so far.”

Chen Hao quickly said, “That’s too troublesome. I generally can’t even be bothered to visit the supermarket. Sister-in-law, can I trouble you to get that friend to help me buy some? Money’s not an issue.”

Although the cat would be eating more expensive stuff than him, it was more important to feed it with safe food. Chen Hao couldn’t be sure that black cats had stronger immunities when it came to diet. If it became the first-ever cat demon to be poisoned to death, that would be too embarrassing.

Yang Hui said with a smile, “Sure. I’ll video-call her later and let her look at the black cat. This bestie of mine is an expert at raising cats. One look and she’ll know what cat food this cat likes.”

“Thanks for the trouble, Sister-in-law,” Chen Hao said sincerely.

Never mind the rest. Ever since they became acquainted, both Zhou Gang and his wife were of help to him—this was a solid benefit.

“Alright, it’s just buying cat food. I just need to talk to her. Come, let’s eat. Any later and the food’s going to get cold.” Zhou Gang interrupted their conversation and pulled Chen Hao towards the dining table.

Yang Hui said with a smile, “Alright, you guys can eat first. I’ll go talk to my friend and get her to place an order as soon as possible.”

Yang Hui then lifted the black cat into her arms and walked into the bedroom with her daughter.

After taking his seat, Zhou Gang poured a full glass for Chen Hao.
