Chapter 404 Better to Raise a Tiger

Jiang Ji listened silently, and only spoke after Nan Zhiyun finished: "Her Imperial Highness is kind, and it is my honor to serve her." Nan Zhiyun looked at Jiang Ji, why did she always feel that Jiang Ji was guarded against everyone? But she didn't dare to ask too much.

Today was the first day of the spring hunt, and Yu Jingchen was quite busy, especially since he was leading the expedition, so he did not return all morning.

Nan Zhiyun felt a little bored. She lay on the chaise longue, playing with Xiao Lingdang. Xiao Lingdang had gotten fatter again recently. Nan Zhiyun's favorite thing was petting cats.

When Yu Jingchen returned, he saw Nan Zhiyun lazily lying on the chaise longue with a gentle expression. However, when he saw Xiao Lingdang nestled on Nan Zhiyun's chest, his face immediately darkened.

What was this? Where was this stupid cat lying? And this girl, how could she be so careless? Letting this rascally cat sleep on her chest?

Yu Jingchen walked over with a dark expression. As soon as Nan Zhiyun saw Yu Jingchen, she noticed his displeasure and was a bit bewildered. What was wrong?

"Your Majesty?" Nan Zhiyun called out.

But Yu Jingchen did not respond. He walked over and picked up Lingdang. Nan Zhiyun was confused. The next moment, meow~... Lingdang was picked up and thrown out.

"Your Majesty!" Nan Zhiyun was startled.

Lingdang, perhaps frightened by Yu Jingchen's actions, ran out as soon as it was thrown, not daring to linger.

"It's nothing, I just found this stupid cat rather unsightly. Isn't it shedding its fur now? Don't always hold it," Yu Jingchen said, his expression still not good.

"Shedding? No..." Nan Zhiyun hadn't quite caught on.

"I said it's shedding, and it's shedding. Look, you're covered in its fur, it's dirty." As he spoke, Yu Jingchen even reached out and patted Nan Zhiyun's body, brushing off the "fur."

Nan Zhiyun: "..." Where was it?

"And also..." Yu Jingchen pulled Nan Zhiyun closer, and she was immediately embraced in his arms.

"Although it's a cat, it's a male cat, so don't let it get too close to you, understand?" Yu Jingchen asked with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun was speechless at Yu Jingchen's words.

"Where was it sleeping just now? Hmm?" Yu Jingchen questioned, was he preempting her?

Nan Zhiyun: "..." Alright, she felt a little guilty. The spot where Lingdang had been sleeping was indeed a bit sensitive.

"Next time I see it, I'll chop off its paws," Yu Jingchen said, tickling Nan Zhiyun's nose.

Nan Zhiyun pouted. How could he be so petty? Why was he arguing with a cat?

"You clearly sent Lingdang to me, and now you have so many demands? If Lingdang wasn't meant to be held, why would I keep it?" Nan Zhiyun smiled at Yu Jingchen.

"I hadn't considered that before. If I had, I would never have sent it to you. I might as well have gotten you a tiger." Yu Jingchen pinched Nan Zhiyun's nose, confident that Nan Zhiyun wouldn't be able to hug and pet a tiger like this.

Unexpectedly, Nan Zhiyun replied, "A tiger isn't impossible either..."

Yu Jingchen: "..."

"You are quite greedy. However, there are no tigers now, but I have something else for you. Guess what, Yun'er?" Yu Jingchen was deliberately beating around the bush.

But he had indeed piqued Nan Zhiyun's curiosity.
