My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 317 - 290: So obvious?

Lu Shishu saw them off at the elevator door, waved his hand, and smiled, "Drive safely, watch out."After the elevator door slowly closed, Lu Shishu turned back, only to find Nan Jiayan standing next to him. They exchanged a glance, and then, with a cold expression, Jiayan walked past him back to his own home.

But just as he reached the door, he realized Jiayan had followed him. Lu Shishu frowned, looking displeased, "What? Director Nan, was one meal not enough for you? What do you want now?"

Jiayan’s lips moved slightly but before he could speak, there was a noise from inside like something had fallen on the floor. He tilted his head, peeked into the house, then looked away, meeting Lu Shishu’s eyes. Lu Shishu instantly understood—those two cats from his house were still inside!

Lu Shishu quickly turned around and entered the house, only to see the half of the cake he hadn’t had a chance to clean up was now sitting steadily on Biuqiu, burying the small body completely except for two round eyes peeking out. Meanwhile, Buxia was looking at them in horror, looking extremely innocent, although the cake on its paws clearly revealed the truth.

"Meow~"

Seeing the slightly helpless and somewhat angry look on Jiayan’s face, Buxia let out a light meow, as if acting cutesy or complaining pitifully.

Biuqiu, on the other hand, despite being buried in cake, retained an aloof gaze but appeared small, helpless, and pitiful.

"Buxia, was it you?" Jiayan walked closer, squatted down, and poked Buxia’s forehead with a finger. Looking at the mess on the floor with some helplessness, he picked up the cake-covered Biuqiu, stood up, and looked at Lu Shishu, his tone apologetic, "Sorry, I’ll clean this up later! I’ll take them home for a wash first, so they don’t... Hey, Buxia, NO, don’t..."

Before Jiayan could finish his sentence, Buxia directly jumped onto Lu Shishu, smearing a pawful of cake all over Lu Shishu’s white knitted sweater.

Lu Shishu was a bit bewildered, looking at the cat lying in his arms, suddenly not knowing what to do, but Buxia seemed quite comfortable, even raising a paw to lick the cake, appearing as though it was thoroughly enjoying itself.

Jiayan sighed helplessly, holding Biuqiu, which he couldn’t put down, lest the cake get everywhere.

"Shishu..."

"Never mind, it’s already like this." Lu Shishu took a deep breath, interrupting him, and glanced at Biuqiu in his hands, "Take it back and wash it!"

"What about Buxia then..."

"I’ll wash her," he said with a resigned tone.

"Alright." Jiayan responded happily, "It had a bath just two days ago, so you just need to wash the cake off, sorry for the trouble."

Lu Shishu cast a mild glance at him, then turned and headed for the bathroom, "Close the door on your way out."

After Cen Jin and the others left the Nanfeng District where Lu Shishu resided, Yun Xi suggested, "Feici didn’t drive here, I’ll drop her off on my way home. Bro, I’ll leave Ling Ran to you, thanks!" With that, she climbed into the car with Yu Feici, winking at Cen Jin as she went.

Cen Jin caught on, raised an eyebrow with a smile, and deliberately checked his phone, "Oh! It’s past eleven, it’s quite late, and my hair is still damp, so uncomfortable. We’ll be heading back too! See you next time! Ling Ran, we’re leaving her to you, Yun Qi, thanks."

Ye Lingran could only laugh and cry at their obvious intentions.

Once they had gone, Lu Xize stood alone, spreading his hands helplessly, "Doesn’t anyone care about me? Is a single person not worthy of a greeting? Eh, never mind, I’m used to it. Time to go home and sleep," he said, waving farewell to Yun Qi and Ye Lingran.

Once Lu Xize’s sports car roared away, leaving Ye Lingran and Yun Qi standing there, Ye Lingran seemed a bit lost, uncertain of what to do.

"Shall we go?" said Yun Qi instead, his calm demeanor free of any panic.

"Mm," Ye Lingran responded quietly, walking with him to his car. She hesitated slightly between the back seat and the passenger door before finally opening the passenger side and settling inside, fastening her seatbelt. She sat there quietly, looking out the car window.
