Mingshen snatched the cat away from Lihua's hands and angrily spat. "Get out! The nerve of you to take my cat!"

  "Give Lihua back to me!" She hopped up to catch her but Mingshen raised his arms and poor Lihua the human couldn't reach the height.

  "You tyrant! Lihua is fine now. We are here to take her back!"

  "She was never sick! She is my pet so fuck off," Mingshen's dangerous gaze would make anybody faint on the spot, but Lihua didn't.

  *Meowww*

  The cat lazily rubbed her face as she enjoyed being the center of attention. She shut her eyes and rested her head on Mingshen's head as if saying, 'Whether this man or that woman, I don't care as long as I get to eat. So decide quickly, dumb humans.'

  Lihua stomped on her foot and looked at Wei, aggrieved. "Wei. See! He is not giving our Lihua back to us. This is a crime!"

  Mingshen shot a freezing stare at Wei to which there was nothing much change in his expression as usual. He slowly got up and faced Mingshen. "Give Lihua back."

  "EXCUSE ME?" Mingshen took a step forward and met him head-on. "Give who back?"

  "My cat, Lihua, who you are holding."

  He burst into a chuckle. "I see. So you need a brain scan too just like your wife. Please take a seat and let me know what is wrong with your already messed up brain."

  Wei leaned and whispered. Lihua tried to listen in, but she couldn't hear anything.

  He slowly said, "I hold grudges."

  Mingshen narrowed his eyes.

  "Before coming here, your mother tried to set up MY wife with you."

  Mingshen's eyes widened and he choked hard. He glanced at Lihua in disdain and his expression turned ugly.

  Me with Song Lihua? Is Mom crazy!? I will die before I marry this idiot!

  "I was extremely displeased," Wei's equally icy stare landed on him. "She is my wife but she was being set for another man. You should be glad I didn't wage a war."

  His mouth twitched. "Hey, if you have a problem with Mom, then take it with her. Do whatever revenge you want. Don't target my cat!"

  "Lihua says not to trouble the elders. She likes Mrs. Yang, so I will let her go. But I cannot forgive the matter in itself. So, you will pay instead of her. Give me your cat or the repercussions of setting up the Mafia King's wife for some other man will be extremely dangerous…" his cold voice trailed off in the end.

  Mingshen eerily chuckled. "You have got some nerve to threaten Yang Mingshen standing in his lab."

  "I have the nerve to do many more things," his quiet voice said. "Hand over your cat and I will get you another one."

  "Why can't you fucking buy your own cat then!" He roared.

  "Because Lihua wants this cat."

  "Because you lied to her that my cat is hers!"

  "I cannot take that back now so you have to hand me your cat. We will take good care of her," Wei seriously said.

  Before Mingshen could explode into another burst of anger, the cat jumped and landed on Lihua's feet.

  *Meowww*

  She rubbed her furry face on Lihua's leg, making her beam. "Ah my Lihua!" She picked her in her arms and stared at her cute little green eyes that melted her heart.

  Mingshen's face darkened. "You traitor!"

  *Meoww*

  That other human feels really dangerous! Don't blame me.

  Lihua glared at him. "She is not a traitor! She has recognized her family! You are a liar who wanted to abduct my poor cat. I cannot even imagine how she lived with you for a whole month!"

  Wei glanced back at Mingshen as if saying, 'Your cat has given up on you too.'

  Mingshen stared at the cat who refused to meet his accusing gaze and cutely kept purring against Lihua's arms.

  He nodded as he angrily laughed. "Good. Very good, you ungrateful cat! I feed you this whole time and now you are hugging someone else's thigh. Fine! You three! Get out right now!" He shot a nasty glare at Wei. "Don't forget to fork out your money for this. Don't expect anything less than five hundred billion."

  "What!?" Lihua looked at him in disbelief. "You-"

  Wei nodded and quickly held her hand. "Let's go, Lixue. We got our Lihua."

  "But!"

  Lihua grumbled and left his office. As they walked, she complained, "That evil doctor is too much. I cannot believe a man like him can grow attached to a cute animal and even shamelessly ask money for our pet! Why should we pay when Lihua is our cat!?"

  Wei coughed and looked away.

  She lowered and giggled as she tickled the cat. "Right, Lihua? That evil doctor is so mean. You were so strong that you lived with him until now."

  The cat - officially Lihua now - had an arrogant expression on her face.

  Well, what can I say? I am so awesome.

  Lihua handed her to Wei and said, "Wei. Wait for me. I will just come back from the washroom."

  "En."

  She quickly headed back to where the washroom was. Five minutes later, as she stepped out, she heard a soft gasp from a room at a distance.

  Lihua paused in her steps and craned her neck towards that direction. Her sight fell on a door that was tightly shut. In front of it, there hung a tape that said, 'Do not enter without permission.'

  Was it my imagination?

  She turned but once again, she heard some soft breathing noise coming from inside the room.

  This time, I definitely heard it!

  Lihua looked around but didn't find any assistant doctor.

  Is there a patient inside? But why would a patient be here instead of a hospital? Well, Mingshen is a doctor but still…


  She gasped.

  Is it one of his research subjects?

  Lihua got more and more convinced of it.

  That evil doctor can do anything! Is he doing something illegal such as experimenting on living humans?

  Her nostrils flared.

  She took soft, slow steps towards the room. For some strange reason, she felt her heart beating faster. She bit her lower lip and the nearer she reached, the more anxious she became. She clasped her hands together.

  Why am I so nervous?
