Yu Ning emerged from the bathroom to a curious sight:

The little black cat was curled up on her bed, back facing her, a tiny bundle with its small paws kneading, seemingly making biscuits.

Yu Ning’s heart melted.

She had intended for the little black cat to sleep in the banana-shaped cat bed but didn’t expect it to be so lonely.

Is it treating her like a mother? Look, it’s even kneading.

The truth was, Lin Zheng was using both paws, desperately tapping the screen with his pads, attempting to crack the password.

A slender hand descended from above, accurately pressing on his head, and ruffled him a bit.

“If you don’t want to sleep alone, then keep me company tonight,” Yu Ning said softly.

Although she was keeping a pet on her master’s orders, this sense of being relied upon felt pretty good.

She was starting to like having this cute and ruffle-able little thing around.

Lin Zheng: …

He tried to escape but it was too late.

Yu Ning grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, forcibly dragging him into the bed. Then, Lin Zheng had a solid experience of how soft she was.

“Alright, sleep,” Yu Ning said, hugging the cat to her chest, turning off the light, and going to sleep.

Being held by a woman in such a position was extremely humiliating, and Lin Zheng wanted to resist.

But the endurance of this body was limited; after a day’s struggle, he was over-exhausted. Sleepiness took over, and his eyes closed involuntarily.

At midnight, Yu Ning was awakened by a strange noise.

It sounded like something scratching, instantly making Yu Ning alert.

Remembering what Old Lin had said about the room being haunted at midnight.

The soul-calling bell wasn’t ringing, so it wasn’t a ghost.

Yu Ning turned on the light. The little black cat, which should have been in her arms, was desperately scratching at the bathroom door with its paws.

The noise was coming from it.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to leave the door open for you. Do you need to use the litter box?”

Yu Ning quickly got out of bed, opened the bathroom door, and the black cat, which was about to deform from holding it in, darted inside.

Afraid it wouldn’t use the litter box, Yu Ning stood at the door watching.

“Meow!” the black cat protested.

“Really? Are you shy about being watched?” Yu Ning teased.

“Meow meow meow!”

Hmm, it really didn’t like being watched? Yu Ning tried closing the door, and there were no more meowing sounds inside.

“Quite the dignified little thing, huh.”

Yu Ning waited outside for it to finish, and her phone rang.

Old Lin sent a WeChat message asking if there were any ghosts.

An idea sparked in Yu Ning’s mind.

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and shone her phone light on the glass, revealing a row of faint paw prints.

Mystery solved.

It wasn’t haunted, it was the cat all along.

The strange noises the servants heard before must have been a cat scratching the glass.

Judging by the size of the paw prints, could it be this little black cat she was raising?

While Yu Ning was thinking, a meow came from the bathroom, this time much more relaxed than the previous urgent one. It seemed to say, “I’m done, open the door!”

Yu Ning opened the door and was hit by a stench, forcing her to step back.

“What kind of biochemical weapon did you drop here? It’s so smelly!”

“Meow~” Ha, scared now?

Hurry and let me go back to my nest to sleep! Don’t try to test my self-control with your amazing body!

“Did I just get mocked by a cat?” Yu Ning seemed to read the cunning in its eyes.

For the first time, she saw a cat with emotions, and strangely, she seemed to understand its feelings.

Yu Ning enjoyed the fun of being a poop scooper, grabbing the cat and despite its strong resistance, wiped its little butt with a wet wipe.

The bedroom echoed with sounds as if a cat was being slaughtered, then returned to peace.

The lights went out.

In the darkness, the black cat’s eyes gleamed with humiliation and anger.

Humiliation!

Absolute humiliation!

Being treated this way and that by her!

His lifelong reputation was ruined. If this got out, how would he face anyone?

Once he returned to his body, he would definitely settle this score with her—

“Don’t be afraid, with me here, no one can bully you.” Yu Ning, eyes closed, patted the soft little creature in her arms.

Look how scared it was, its body was stiff.

Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, although he still resisted inside, he moved closer to her.

The girl’s warm body temperature dispelled the coldness of many days of wandering, staying by her side brought an inexplicable sense of security.

Alright, settling the score could wait, after all, she did save him. He wouldn’t mind her forcibly grabbing his tail to wipe—damn.

Yu Ning felt the little creature in her arms relax and smiled slightly.

Such a prideful little thing.

Due to her special constitution, Yu Ning’s routine was usually early to bed and late to rise.

However, early this morning, Aunt Wu came knocking on the door before seven, waking Yu Ning from her sleep.

“Good morning, Aunt Wu.” Yu Ning yawned, still sleepy, holding the equally drowsy little black cat.

“Good morning, Young Madam. Mr. Lin has brought Mrs. Lin and is waiting downstairs for you.”

“Just call me Yu Ning—didn’t they leave yesterday?”

“I don’t know why they came back, Mr. Lin seems very angry, and Miss Jia is also there, saying many bad things about you.”

Aunt Wu was eager to inform Yu Ning and didn’t catch everything Jia Qingqing said.

There was no going back to sleep, so Yu Ning changed clothes and went downstairs with her black cat.

Downstairs, Lin Anbang sat on the sofa, Mrs. Lin next to him, Jia Qingqing standing in front, wiping tears.

Two rows of bodyguards lined up, and Lin Anbang was scolding them.

“What’s the use of you useless people! How could you let a thief release a venomous snake right under your noses!”

“It’s not their fault, the third floor is off-limits to them.” Yu Ning said, holding the cat, defending the bodyguards.

“How dare you speak! Grandma trusted you so much to let you stay, and you release a venomous snake to bite Qingqing!”

Seeing her act like nothing happened, still holding a cat, Lin Anbang’s anger flared up again.

“Huh? Me? Releasing a snake?” Yu Ning pointed at herself, the black cat in her arms smirked.

This old man has no self-awareness.

He lost to the girl yesterday and still wasn’t convinced, coming back for more today.

The girl was right, if the Lin family was managed by this old man, it wouldn’t be long before it went bankrupt—couldn’t he see that the girl wasn’t just physically strong?

Her intelligence wasn’t low either. Of course, mistaking genders was a lack of common sense, not a sign of low intelligence.

After just one night with her, Lin Zheng could see this girl’s high intelligence; the old man couldn’t compete with her.

“Miss Yu! If you don’t like me, just say it. Why release a snake to bite me?” Jia Qingqing wiped her tears, looking pitiful.

“Oh, then I’ll be straightforward, I don’t like you. On behalf of the unfortunate girl you harmed, and the innocent snake you killed, I despise you.”

Jia Qingqing was speechless.

Green tea b*tches fear those who speak bluntly, how could she respond to that?

“Shut up! You made a mistake and show no remorse! Someone, tie this girl up and send her to the police! She must pay for releasing the snake to bite someone!” Lin Anbang pointed at Yu Ning.

The evidence was clear, let’s see how she talks her way out of this!
