Capítulo 1418: Chapter 1418: Forbidden Arts (6)
Looking at Xiu Xi’s indifferent reaction, Duan Xin knew he had asked a dumb question again.
He glanced down at the woven cage he was holding, watching as it viciously barked at Xiu Xi, realizing that the possibility of trading the breed cat for the kitten in Xiu Xi’s hands was unlikely.
But he wasn’t quite ready to give up, so he walked in, raising the cat in his hands while attempting to convince: “Xiaoxi, this is a breed cat, don’t you really like it?”
No longer targeting Ruan Jiaojiao, he only wanted to get rid of this cat: “Anyway, you’re raising one, and raising two is the same. Why not just take them together?”
“No need.” Xiu Xi declined, glancing back at him with a vague expression: “He suits you better.”
“Suits me?” Duan Xin blinked, looking down at the Persian Cat again, a symbol of nobility with titles like prince and princess among cats. Did he mean he’s also noble?
Duan Xin couldn’t help but laugh, feeling somewhat embarrassed, not expecting that this was how his younger brother saw him. He put down the woven cage in his hands, casually took the tea handed by a servant, said thank you, and was about to take a sip to ease his embarrassment, when Xiu Xi continued: “Just as ugly, just as dumb!”
Implying that only the cat in his arms was the best-looking and smartest.
“Cough cough cough…” Duan Xin was choked by these words, blushing and neck thickening.
From afar, Mr. Shu nodded discreetly, very much agreeing with Xiu Xi’s words, yes, his precious baby was the most beautiful and the smartest! How could the outside cats compare?
Ruan Jiaojiao, meanwhile, was gleefully squinting with laughter. She certainly knew Duan Xin brought this cat to compete for favor with her, but he didn’t understand that the bond between her and Xiu Xi wasn’t something any random cat could disrupt.
Ruan Jiaojiao was in a good mood, watching the Persian Cat being frightened by Xiu Xi and occasionally fluffing up in the woven basket, then waving her little paw at Duan Xin: “Meow!” Better take this cat back.
Leaving it at their house would be petrified by Brother Xi.
To properly entertain the Duan Family, Shu Family servants, who had taken leave due to the presence of the Ruanlin Family, had almost all returned and were now in the kitchen preparing lunch.
Ruan Jiaojiao had had a meal earlier in the morning, digests quickly, so she gets hungry quickly and needs to eat small meals frequently, and was hungry again now.
With no Ruanlin Family around, Xiu Xi personally embraced her to get some food.
As Xiu Xi held Ruan Jiaojiao towards the kitchen, he passed the living room and mentioned to Mr. Shu he was going to the kitchen to get food for Ruan Jiaojiao before leaving, completely ignoring Duan Qianyang, whose feelings were indeed quite complex.
Before, he could hardly compete with Ruan Jiaojiao, but after all, she was a person.
Now, he couldn’t even surpass a little kitten.
Duan Xin and Xiu Xi were of similar age, also did not enjoy watching the adults chat and socialize, and after putting down the Persian Cat, followed Xiu Xi to the kitchen.
As the young master of the Duan Family, he had seldom been in the kitchen while growing up, and did not expect Xiu Xi to indeed be able to cook.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s meals are actually simple to prepare as she is a cat and can’t eat seasonings, and each time the Ruanlin Family would make her meals almost just for taste, seasoning lightly.
Today, what Ruan Jiaojiao would have at noon was mashed chicken leg meat mixed with a bit of chicken liver, and to ensure freshness and nutrition, it needed to be cooked and eaten promptly.
