Chapter 35: I'm Not Lying, Your Cat Is Dancing

Wen Yan sent a message to Shen Jinghe, asking if he had returned from his business trip.

Since the time to join the production crew had been confirmed, she needed to return Shen Pili to him.

When she sent this message using voice-to-text, Su Yang was sitting on the sofa next to her, petting the cat.

After sending the message, Shen Jinghe didn't immediately reply.

Actually, Wen Yan wasn't in a hurry.

Instead, Su Yang spoke up first: "Has your second brother not replied yet?"

"No," Wen Yan said while glancing at her phone again, "He might be busy or resting."

Su Yang nodded and lowered her head to play with the cute cat in her arms, her tone rather plaintive.

"Little Pili, do you miss your owner? Do you want him to come pick you up?"

Shen Pili seemed to actually understand, meowing twice.

Wen Yan understood what was going on.

'So Mrs. Su misses her son. Compared to me sending the cat back, she definitely hopes more that Pili's dad will come pick her up himself!'

Who could say otherwise? That's exactly what Su Yang was thinking.

Listening to Wen Yan's inner thoughts, Su Yang had to sigh—truly, no one knows a mother like her daughter.

Su Yang's eyes lit up as she looked at Wen Yan and asked: "Yanyan, do you think we could ask your second brother to come to the house to pick up the cat?"

Although she couldn't be sure whether Shen Jinghe would agree, Mrs. Su's eyes were shining as she looked at her.

For that instant, she was like a big child looking forward to a gift.

What's wrong with a mother wanting to see her son? Wen Yan smiled: "Then I'll ask and see."

"Yes! If it's early enough, he might even make it for dinner."

"Tonight's dinner is probably out of question—I don't even know when he'll reply."

Shen Yuan, who was feeding fish by the aquarium, pretended he wasn't listening with perked ears, saying seemingly casually:

"I'm not very hungry today. Actually, having dinner a bit later would be a nice option."

Wen Yan: 'Mr. Shen, saying this to us is useless. You need to say it to Shen Jinghe's face. If you don't tell him, he won't know'

Shen Yuan paused.

How could he not want to? But after all these years of this pattern, expressing concern seemed to have become such a difficult thing.

In the end, even after they finished dinner, there was still no message from Shen Jinghe.

Seeing Su Yang's disappointed expression, Wen Yan couldn't help but send another message to Shen Jinghe.

'Big star, big star, are you back from your business trip yet? Waiting for your reply'

After sending this message, Wen Yan took two fresh photos of Shen Pili and sent them to Shen Jinghe.

She thought the message would sink like a stone again, but unexpectedly, Shen Jinghe replied instantly this time.

'Just fell asleep in the car, coming back today'

Wen Yan's eyes lit up as she typed quickly.

'Where are you now? Can you stop by the house on your way? Shen Pili misses you—she wants you to pick her up.'

Shen Jinghe: '......... Shen Pili told you this herself?'

Wen Yan: 'Hehe, don't you miss Shen Pili even a little bit?'

'Fine, I'll be there in an hour'

"Really? That's wonderful! Then I'll wait for you at home, Second Brother."

For this last reply, Wen Yan specifically chose voice-to-text.

Because this way Su Yang could hear the good news!

Sure enough, a smile immediately appeared on Su Yang's face, and even Shen Yuan's perpetually stern expression softened considerably.

Su Yang asked: "When did your second brother say he's coming back?"

"He said he'll be here in an hour."

"Good."

Su Yang was liking Wen Yan more and more.

Even Shen Yuan, who didn't particularly like cats and dogs, found Shen Pili much more agreeable now.

An hour later, Shen Jinghe's car indeed stopped in front of the villa.

But he didn't seem to have any intention of getting out, only sending a message telling Wen Yan to bring the cat out.

Of course, Wen Yan didn't listen to him.

She did go out, but she didn't bring the cat.

"Second Brother, get out of the car! You're already at the door—why aren't you coming in?"

Shen Jinghe looked tired: "I'm just here to pick up the cat. You should have received the notification about the training for 'Voiceless' production crew, right?"

"Yes, are you attending this training too?"

"Obviously."

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so dedicated, Second Brother. As a top celebrity, that's really rare."

"Stop flattering me. Give me back the cat."

"No way, Shen Pili doesn't want to leave yet. She's dancing—come down and watch her dance."

"..........." Shen Jinghe looked at Wen Yan like she was an idiot. "I think you're the one dancing on my bottom line."

Wen Yan: "......... It's true! If you don't believe me, come down and see."

Shen Jinghe really didn't believe it.

He scoffed: "If Shen Pili isn't dancing in a moment, then you'll have to dance."

As if he'd fall for her nonsense!

However, when Shen Jinghe followed Wen Yan into the villa, he discovered...

His extremely handsome Maine Coon cat, Shen Pili, was actually dancing!

What the hell—dancing! This cat has become a spirit! It was staring with two bell-like eyes, fixated on a small wind-up toy in front of it.

While staring, it was also walking cat steps back and forth with crossed limbs, turning in circles, and finally even wiggling its butt at him.

Like doing the cha-cha.

Shen Jinghe was speechless.

He looked at Wen Yan, then at the small toy in front of Shen Pili.

That look was definitely not one of approval.

"You bought this toad?"

Wen Yan's eyes widened: "This is a frog! Are you colorblind?"

Shen Jinghe rolled his eyes at her and pointed at the cat: "Did you teach her this?"

"Shen Pili was born with natural charm—I don't have that skill. More like she could teach me, ."

Su Yang: ......... She was about to die laughing. Actually, Wen Yan had pulled out this toy half an hour ago. As for the dance, you couldn't exactly say she taught it, but she did provide guidance.

Shen Jinghe was at a loss for words: "Fine, from aloof to goofy—well done. Give me the cat carrier."

Before Wen Yan could respond, Su Yang spoke up: "It's already so late—are you still leaving? Just stay home and rest. Your dad and I have been waiting since we knew you were coming back."

Shen Jinghe glanced casually and actually saw Shen Yuan.

Ha, how rare—he's actually not holed up in that precious study of his.

Shen Jinghe scoffed disdainfully: "Who cares."

"How can you not care? It's wonderful to have someone waiting for you at home. Second Brother, sit down quickly. While you're home, I have something I want to ask your advice about. Please."

Shen Jinghe huffed proudly.

"What kind of matter makes you beg people? Don't you have any dignity?"

"Of course I have dignity, but you're the only one in this house who knows about this."

Ha, she'd even give up her dignity. "......... Fine, go ahead."

Shen Jinghe lazily sat down on the sofa, casually scooping the cat into his arms.

Su Yang and Shen Yuan didn't leave either.

Wen Yan simply started asking him about the production crew training.
