Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Little Snowball Returned to Her Side (Extra)
Gu Siting glanced at the bustling airport.
Indeed, he didn’t see Ming Yao and Jing Hang.
He subconsciously took out his phone, wanting to call her, but as soon as his fingertips touched her number, he hung up quickly.
He turned around and walked out of the airport.
Yanxi watched Gu Siting’s cold and indifferent retreating figure and hurriedly followed him.
“Fourth Brother, I heard from Lu Zhou the other day that your business trip wasn’t supposed to end for another two days, yet you stubbornly worked overti to finish early, isn’t it because you wanted to surprise Ming Yao?”
...
“I also heard that you were making Lu Zhou run back and forth every day. Do you have sothing you want to give her?”
“Ming Yao’s reputation might not have been good in the past, but she is truly beautiful, Fourth Brother, haven’t you been enchanted by her?”
Gu Siting quickened his pace to leave, pressing his proud, thin lips tightly together, ignoring Yanxi’s incessant chatter.
Once Gu Siting got into his car, he drove out of the parking lot. Not long after that, a figure erged from the won’s bathroom at the airport.
Ming Yao, having just used the restroom, ca out.
She hadn’t boarded the plane.
Jing Hang, who had been coaxed onto the plane by her, realized she wasn’t aboard when the plane was about to take off, and ca down as well.
He chased after her, panting heavily.
Seeing Ming Yao co out of the restroom, Jing Hang didn’t know what to say.
“Senior Sister, what are you still doing here?”
Ming Yao lifted her long eyelashes, her gaze towards Jing Hang calm and serene, “Li City is my ho, although Ming Guoan and Jiang Biyun don’t like , I have Old Madam Ming’s affection, and the blood of the Ming Family flows through my veins.”
“Jing Hang, why would I return with you in the shell of Ming Yao? The Ming Yao of the Tang Sect has long been dead!”
“But Senior Sister, you’ll still suffer from insomnia even if you stay here!”
“That’s my fate!” She would rather die here than go to the Tang Sect to seek that man’s help!
Jing Hang rubbed his forehead, “Alright, alright, when you’re stubborn, not even nine bulls can pull you back. I’m going to Imperial Garden right now to find your husband in na only!”
“Don’t go!” Ming Yao said with a serious and cold expression, looking at Jing Hang, “I’ll return to the Ming Family later.”
Ming Yao didn’t let Jing Hang follow her; she took a taxi by herself and left the airport.
Just before getting into the taxi, she saw a Bentley speeding by.
The license plate seed familiar.
When she took a closer look, the car had already driven far away.
A mocking curve appeared at the corner of Ming Yao’s lips.
How could it be Tyrant Gu?
He must hate her to death by now, why would he co to the airport?
Besides, he didn’t know she was at the airport, did he?
It must be her eyes playing tricks on her!
The taxi descended from the fly-over and reached the city center.
Looking at one of the roads leading to Imperial Garden, Ming Yao said to the driver, “Master, turn left, I want to go to Imperial Garden.”
When the taxi was a few hundred ters from Imperial Garden, Ming Yao asked the driver to stop.
After paying the money, Ming Yao placed her luggage aside and slowly walked up the road.
It wasn’t long before she could see the villas of Imperial Garden.
She didn’t approach but simply looked from a distance.
After observing for about ten minutes and preparing to leave, suddenly, a ‘ow’ sounded from the trees on the roadside.
The cat’s cry was weak and would be hardly noticeable if not listened to carefully.
Ming Yao initially thought she was experiencing auditory hallucinations.
Until another faint ow ca.
Ming Yao parted the bushes and looked into the woods.
There, in the grass, lay a dirty little kitten.
The kitten seed to be just over a month old, its leg appeared to be injured, and its cry was very faint.
When Ming Yao looked at it, it lifted its eyes to et hers.
Although covered in filth, its original fur color indiscernible, its gemstone-blue eyes were strikingly similar—
At that mont, Ming Yao’s heart beat violently.
She quickened her pace, taking three steps as though they were two, until she was in front of the little kitten.
The kitten saw her, its gemstone-blue eyes lighting up as if seeing her was a very joyous event.
“ow ow ow~”
The rhythm of the kitten’s ows, coupled with its gaze, was exactly like Little Snowball’s.
Ming Yao’s heartbeat sped up; she reached out her hand and gently touched the kitten’s paw.
The kitten imdiately pressed her hand back in response.
Ming Yao’s eyes widened.
During her ti working in the Imperial Garden, she would play with Little Snowball this way whenever she was bored.
Every ti, Little Snowball would also lift its aty paw to press on the back of her hand.
Ming Yao tried to call out softly, “atball?” Her voice trembled with excitent and nervousness.
“ow~”
Ming Yao’s lashes quivered, “Little Snowball?”
“ow~”
Ming Yao’s heart rose to her throat, “Who am I?”
“ow ow~” Mama.
Ming Yao lifted a hand to cover her mouth, a sourness welling up and stinging her eyes and nose.
Her trembling fingers hugged the little kitten into her embrace.
“Have you co to inhabit this little kitten’s body?”
“ow~”
A hot tear rolled from Ming Yao’s eyes, dropping onto the fluffy head of the little kitten.
Ming Yao didn’t care how dirty it was as she buried her face in its little head.
“It’s so good, so good that you’re still alive!” Just like her, only in a different shell.
“ow ow ow~” Mama, don’t cry, don’t cry, bring to have sothing delicious~
Ming Yao, as though she heard the little kitten’s call, hugged it close and, with her luggage in tow, started to walk down the mountain.
The little kitten lay in Ming Yao’s arms, looking back at the Imperial Garden fading into the distance.
The garden it had exerted so much effort to reach, even getting wounded, all because it wanted to return to its own ho.
But now, Mama was taking it away.
It was for the best, who asked Papa to be so fierce to Mama!
Ming Yao took Little Snowball to a pet hospital, where the doctor gave it a thorough check-up.
It was not even two months old and, aside from a few minor injuries, there were no problems in other aspects.
Ming Yao brought it back to the small courtyard she was renting.
She personally made so delicious cat food for it.
Little Snowball ate heartily.
Ming Yao squatted beside it, a smile curling the corners of her lips as she watched its pristine white fur after a bath.
It was of the sa breed as the previous Little Snowball, only a miniature version.
Ming Yao stroked its head, “You can’t eat too much at once, lest you have indigestion.”
Little Snowball licked its mouth, now full and energized, it sprang with a push of its legs into Ming Yao’s embrace.
Ming Yao nestled into the couch holding it, “Can you tell Mama why you got pregnant?”
She rembered Aunt Zhong telling her that Little Snowball was not quite like other cats, as it did not enjoy playing with them; after reaching five years old, it had not gone into heat again.
Little Snowball jumped out of Ming Yao’s embrace and bit her pants, gesturing for Ming Yao to follow it.
Ming Yao did not know where Little Snowball wanted to take her, but she followed anyway.
Little Snowball led Ming Yao to a place also in the suburbs; after about an hour’s walk, it brought her to a woodland.
The yellow soil under a large tree looked as though it had been disturbed, and Little Snowball clawed inside it.
Ming Yao sensed sothing was amiss. She picked up Little Snowball and set it aside, “Mama will dig!”
…
Goodnight, babies~
