Chapter 256 - Bring Her Closer, a Little at a Time (1/2)

Mu Xichen looked outside but did not say a word.

He leaned back in his seat and shut his eyes.

Gu Mingye knew what this meant and kept quiet as well.

He drove forward and stopped before Mu Xichen’s house.

He had just opened the car door when he saw a black object bounce up.

“Meow.”

Small Lock looked towards him with some vigilance.

Mu Xichen saw the cat and was about to pick it up when Small Lock hopped off excitedly.

Gu Mingye got a little bag of dried fish from inside the car.

Mu Xichen saw him pick up the bits of fish to lure the cat.

As expected, the black cat came running back quickly.

Small Lock looked wary but also appealed by the treat.

Perhaps it did not sense much danger, as it relaxed and came forward to take a nibble.

With the little piece in its mouth, the black cat took off again.

It only stopped amongst the bushes before enjoying its treat.

Mu Xichen’s expression darkened as he watched.

“This cat doesn’t look like it’s owned by you.” Gu Mingye remarked. “It’s beginning to resemble that woman.”

Mu Xichen did not say anything as he headed for the door.

He was being too anxious.

That woman, in some sense, was like an insecure cat.

The only way to get her was to bring her closer, a little at a time.

Li Beinian only realized that she’d been perspiring when she got home.
