Chapter 129 The Cat Returns 13
Shen Chumo's small figure moved swiftly through the darkness, her eyes sparkling with curiosity in the night. She slipped through the bushes, bypassed a few servants, and quietly approached the pool party.
As Shen Chumo approached the party area, she sniffed the air, and a fragrance wafted into her nostrils, instantly awakening her taste buds.
Shen Chumo's big, round eyes lit up instantly, sparkling with excitement—there's something delicious to eat!
Although the canned food and snacks she usually ate were quite good, Shen Chumo was still human after all. The delicious memories of those foods kept surfacing in her mind, filling her heart with longing.
At this moment, a group of people are gathered around the barbecue grill, having a BBQ. The sizzling sound of the meat and the laughter of the people are intertwined.
Shen Chumo crept closer stealthily, her body low to the ground, her steps as light as a falling feather.
She carefully avoided people's gaze, slowly approaching the skewers of grilled meat on the table. She slowly stretched out her paws and carefully moved the skewers to the edge of the table. Her paws moved nimbly, like a little magician, skillfully pushing the skewers to their target position.
As the meat skewers drew closer, Shen Chumo straightened up and took a bite of the delicious meat.
At that moment, Shen Chumo's eyes sparkled with satisfaction, her mouth filled with the delicious taste of grilled meat. The tender meat and rich seasoning flavor spread across her tongue. Are grilled meat skewers really this delicious?!
However, before Shen Chumo could even take a second bite, she was discovered and lifted up. Her body was suddenly suspended in mid-air, and she was startled, causing the meat skewer in her mouth to fall out.
The man looked at it with amusement: "Where did this little thief cat come from, stealing meat to eat?" His voice carried a hint of teasing and laughter.
People nearby turned to look at the sound and asked curiously, "Whose cat is this?"
Some girls exclaimed, "Wow, what an adorable kitten! Young Master Chen, put her down so I can hold her!"
Major General Chen hugged Shen Chumo tightly and said slowly, "Don't rush, this cat's origin is unknown, what if there's a problem?"
Shen Chumo rolled her eyes. She hadn't even gotten any meat and had been caught by this person. It was really annoying. Shen Chumo stretched out her paw and slapped Zhou Shao twice.
Chen Shao was stunned by the sudden attack. His eyes widened in disbelief, and the people around him burst into laughter.
"Young Master Chen, you actually got slapped by a kitten, hahahahaha."
"Young Master Chen, how does the Cat Fist taste?"
Some people laughed so hard they were doubled over, while others clutched their stomachs and couldn't straighten up.
Chen Shao's face instantly turned bright red; he was both embarrassed and angry.
He glared at Shen Chumo fiercely, wanting to teach her a lesson, but seeing her adorable appearance, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
He sighed helplessly, put Shen Chumo on the ground, and said, "You're pretty good. I'll let you off this time."
But Shen Chumo didn't run away. Instead, it sat obediently on the ground, its tail slapping rhythmically, its eyes fixed on the meat skewers.
"This kitten seems to be craving something. Should we feed her some meat?" A girl looked at Shen Chumo with sparkling eyes, wishing she could just pull her into her arms.
She crouched down and gently reached out her hand, wanting to stroke Shen Chumo's head.
Shen Chumo looked at the gentle girl in front of her and softly meowed, "Meow~" Then she walked gracefully to the girl's feet and rubbed her little head against the girl's trouser leg.
When the girl saw how well-behaved Shen Chumo was, her eyes lit up with surprise, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Shen Chumo's soft fur.
"Wow, it's so well-behaved!" the girl exclaimed excitedly, her face beaming with happiness.
Upon hearing this, the other girls also gathered around, their eyes filled with affection.
They chattered amongst themselves, saying, "Ahhh, let big sister hug us!"
"Cute Mimi, come home with your big sister."
In an instant, Shen Chumo became the center of attention, surrounded by a group of enthusiastic girls.
Chen Shao touched his face where he had just been hit and asked in confusion, "Does this cat favor girls over boys? Why did it only hit me?"
At this moment, Zhou Mengqi heard the sound and walked over. When she saw Shen Chumo in the crowd, a dark glint flashed in her eyes. Why did that damn cat run out again?
Then, she covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Oh, isn't this Momo? What are you doing here?"
People around her, hearing her words, asked curiously, "Do you know this cat?"
Zhou Mengqi nodded. "This is Changfan's cat, named Momo. It's usually kept in its room, but I don't know how it got out today."
When these people heard that Shen Chumo was Yi Changfan's cat, they paused, and their expressions turned sour.
They were all friends of Yi Zeyu, so they naturally knew about the relationship between Yi Zeyu and Yi Changfan. Illegitimate children have always been looked down upon in wealthy circles.
Moreover, Yi Zeyu was known to dislike Yi Changfan, and the fact that this cat belonged to Yi Changfan instantly made them lose all goodwill towards Shen Chumo.
The girls who had been surrounding Shen Chumo sighed and looked at her with some reluctance. What a wonderful cat, but its owner was Yi Changfan.
Regretful expressions appeared on their faces, and their hearts were filled with helplessness. They wanted to continue to be close to this adorable cat, but they dared not go against Yi Zeyu's preferences.
Chen Shao, who had been smiling, now frowned.
He looked at Shen Chumo, then at Zhou Mengqi, and said, "Since this cat belongs to Yi Changfan, it can't stay here. It would be bad if it upsets Zeyu."
Zhou Mengqi smiled and said, "Then I'll take her away."
Zhou Mengqi went up to pick up Shen Chumo, but Shen Chumo dodged her embrace, jumped onto the table, poked at the grilled meat with her paw, and meowed at Chen Shao.
"I'll let you go, but at least let me take two skewers of grilled meat."
Those around Shen Chumo couldn't help but show expressions of surprise at her actions.
"Hey, this cat is pretty intelligent. Does she want us to feed her meat? How about we give her a couple of skewers?"
"But cats can't eat these things, right?" a girl weakly retorted.
Looking at the meat skewers, Zhou Mengqi suddenly had an idea. She smiled and said, "It's okay for her to eat a little. Since she likes it, let her have some."
Chen Shao looked at Shen Chumo, scratched his head in annoyance, and waved his hand, "Let's give her some food and then take her away before Ze Yu comes over."
Zhou Mengqi picked up two skewers of meat, peeled the meat off the skewers, and placed them on a plate. Shen Chumo smelled the aroma of the meat skewers and glanced at Zhou Mengqi.
After looking around, she started eating in small bites.
