Song Wenye thought, ‘Tsk tsk, this little thing really can’t wait to see its family. I’ve looked after this little thing for two days in vain.’
Toffeecito tilted its fluffy little head and looked up at Kun Lun with its big watery eyes. It grabbed Kun Lun’s pants with its little paws and meowed again. It looked so pitiful like it was finally reunited with its family.
Kunlun bent down and took it in his arms. It was obedient and snuggled in his arms. Its fluffy little head rubbed against his chest and its little paws clung onto his arm as if it was afraid to be abandoned.
Song Wenye saw the series of actions and smiled. “Toffeecito is very smart! This is the first time I’ve seen such a smart kitten.”
“Thanks for taking care of Toffeecito, Ms. Song. I’ll take my leave now.” Kun Lun thanked her politely and looked at the small thing in his arms. He wanted to laugh at it. ‘What a little wimp… Why aren’t you scratching me or hissing at me now, huh?’
Song Wenye just felt her heart itching and smiled at him. “No worries, I’ll see you off.”
‘I wanna see this mysterious brother!’
Kun Lun did not refuse and carried Toffeecito outside. Toffeecito’s new fur friends followed too.
The Persian cat only took two steps and stopped at the living room as she watched them leave, like a regal queen.
The big golden retriever was very obedient and docile. It wagged its tail and followed behind, tilting its head up to look at Toffeecito.
The small puppy was the most aggressive. Perhaps because it had the best relationship with Toffeecito, it barked at Kun Lun twice, but Song Wenye yelled at the puppy. It stopped barking but just glared at Kun Lun with hostility.
Song Wenye just wanted to see the man in the car, even if it was just a glimpse. She just wanted to see the man who managed to capture Shen Xi’s heart. She deliberately said louder than usual, “Goodbye, Toffeecito!”
The car window suddenly opened slowly.
Song Wenye was so excited that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, but she dared not show it or blatantly stare at him.
Li Yuan only opened the car window because she saw Song Wenye’s hat.
His girl liked this hat very much.
She looked so adorable when she wore the hat.
If Shen Xi could give a hat that she adored to others and entrusted Toffeecito to this girl, then she must be a friend that Shen Xi valued very much.
Song Wenye finally saw the man’s face. She had already warned herself not to stare at him because it would be rude, but when she saw the man, she could not look away and her brain stopped working. She could not control herself.
‘Oh my God!’
‘Who is this god that came down to earth?!’
Song Wenye was at a loss for words and could not find any words to describe this handsome man. All of the adjectives for “most beautiful” seemed to be blasphemous on his perfect godly face. Nothing was enough to describe his temperament and appearance.
“Ms. Song, thank you for taking care of Toffeecito. Sorry to trouble you,” Li Yuan thanked politely and nodded slightly at her.
Song Wenye heard his words, but her brain did not react to them until she saw the assistant carrying Toffeecito to him. Only then did her senses return to her and she quickly shook her head. “No worries! Xixi and I are tight, so there’s no need to say thank you.”
She watched as the man held Toffeecito gently in his arms. His handsome cold face revealed a faint warm smile like a hundred flowers suddenly bloomed at the top of a glacier. It was breathtakingly stunning.
‘F*ck!’
‘No wonder Xixi was not interested in anyone else!’
If she had such a handsome man she liked, she would not exchange him for the world.
The car window was closed, so Toffeecito and the man were separated from her.
Kun Lun handed her a delicate bag and said courteously, “Ms. Song, this is a little gift of appreciation.”
Song Wenye heard the voice. The man’s stunningly handsome face was still in her mind. She took the gift and said, “Thank you. Tofffeecito’s dad… I mean, your boss is too kind. I’m good friends with Xixi, so there’s no need for all these.”
In the car, Li Yuan clearly heard the words “Toffeecito’s dad”, which made his smile grew wider. His slender fingers tapped the tip of Toffeecito’s little nose as he said in a pleasant voice, “Toffeecito’s dad.”
He liked this title very much.
After Kun Lun got into the car, he could clearly feel the warmth filling the atmosphere. Through the rearview mirror, he saw his boss smiling while his narrow eyes were overflowing with adoration.
Song Wenye took the gift and watched the car disappear from her sight. She turned and sat on the stone steps at the gate as she happily sent a message to Shen Xi. “Toffeecito’s mom, paging Toffeecito’s mom!”
Shen Xi: ?
Song Wenye was so excited and typed: OMG!!! I just saw Toffeecito’s dad! He’s so handsome! No wonder you’re not interested in anyone else. If I were you, I wouldn’t exchange him for the world either!
Shen Xi: He picked up Toffeecito?
Song Wenye looked at the empty road in front of her and typed: Yeah, his car is gone. Did you save the universe in your previous life? When I look at his face, I just feel so full and won’t even need to eat and drink for life!
Shen Xi: He’s not mine yet!
Song Wenye: Trust me, he absolutely adores you! It’s a two-way street for you both! When he hugged Toffeecito earlier, his smile… OMG, I can’t even! How can you look at his beautiful face every day and still be able to function?!
Shen Xi: You get used to it after a while.
Song Wenye: F*ck! Are you even my friend? Rubbing your lovey-dovey shit in my face on New Year’s Eve… you have no conscience!
‘Just look at what she said!’
Shen Xi held her phone and saw the words “Toffeecito’s dad”. Her eyes were overflowing with sweetness and her heart was bubbling.
Shen Feng came over and called out to her. “Hey! Let’s make dumplings, what are you smiling at?”
He had a hunch that this girl must be in love. Looking at her expression, she was probably a fool when it came to love.
“Okay!” Shen Xi answered. She was smiling from ear to ear. She texted Song Wenye back and put her phone into her pocket. She was waiting for Toffeecito’s dad to send her a message. This anticipation was quite tormenting. It was sweet and made her a little apprehensive.
Song Wenye looked at her blacked-out phone screen and tilted her head to look at the sky that had completely darkened.
The sky had some eerie white clouds and looked like it was going to snow.
The north wind brushed past her as she tightened her coat and hugged her legs with her chin on her knees. Loneliness and sadness were rooted in her heart and slowly spread to her limbs. The tip of her nose was sore and it felt so unbearable that she wanted to cry.
Pei Xu said that he had something to do and could not come over to spend New Year’s Eve with her.
It was clearly not the first time she had spent the New Year’s by herself, but she was still so sad.
She was surrounded by joyful sounds of firecrackers and laughter from the neighbors. It was only a day for a family reunion, but all this liveliness had nothing to do with her. She was the only one alone.
Yu Yuanxi finally found the address given to him by Pei Xu and saw from afar a girl sitting alone on the stone steps at the door.
