Chapter 23: Uninvited Guests (2/2)

It was a pair of black cat ears!

Was this another cat girl?

Looking at the girl’s attire and the professionalism in her demeanor, Shen Cheng was certain that this cat girl had been living in human society for a very long time.

With that thought, Shen Cheng turned to glance at the squint-eyed man beside her.

The man didn’t say a word, but silently took out a small red booklet from his pocket.

On the cover of that booklet, Shen Cheng could clearly see a gleaming, radiant seal!

This seal held immense significance int heir country; no citizen of the country could fail to recognize it!

Shen Cheng was utterly stunned.

The sudden influx of information left him no room to breathe, his mind nearly blank, as he stared at the two… no, at the man and the cat girl.

He opened his mouth to ask something, but the squint-eyed man waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, just keep running your business. We’ll wait for you to finish. Once you’re off, we’ll answer any questions you might have.”

Without waiting for a response, the man and cat girl calmly walked to a corner of the Cat Café, leaving Shen Cheng feeling uneasy.

Shen Cheng felt his mind fogging up. After all, there was no way that kind of ID could be fake, and coupled with the black-haired cat girl…

It meant that beings like Cheese and Sugar had long since been on the government’s radar!

So, what was the real reason for this man and cat girl’s visit? Were they here to take Cheese and Sugar away?

The thought weighed heavily on Shen Cheng’s heart.

It was undeniable that compared to his simple and small Cat Café, the government could surely provide them with a much safer and more comfortable living environment.

But… within less than a week of living together, Shen Cheng had already considered them part of his family—an inseparable part of his life, worth protecting with his very being!

“…” Shaking his head, Shen Cheng sighed, brewed two cups of mixed coffee, and asked Sugar to serve them to the man and the cat girl in the corner—of course, they still had to pay for it.

Now that they were here, there was no way to keep this matter hidden forever. Might as well let nature take its course…

The sense of powerlessness in the face of the situation made Shen Cheng feel bitter.

After all, he was just an ordinary person running a Cat Café, perhaps never meant to be involved with beings like them…

“Master, what’s wrong, nya?”

Noticing Shen Cheng’s emotional turmoil, Cheese and Sugar approached him.

He looked silently at the two cat girls for a while, then pulled them into his arms, whispering, “No matter what happens, no matter what the future holds, I will stay with you both, forever…”

“Of course! Cheese will never leave Master, nya!” Cheese, not understanding the deeper meaning behind Shen Cheng’s words, happily snuggled against him.

Upon hearing this, Sugar’s emerald eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, trembling. A certain color in her eyes dimmed further.

The man and cat girl in the corner saw this, shook their heads, and smiled. Then they began quietly surveying the environment of the Cat Café, occasionally burying their heads in discussion.

Shen Cheng was in no mood to pay attention to their conversation. He took a deep breath, trying to shake off his heavy emotions. The other party didn’t seem too aggressive, so maybe… there was still room for negotiation?
