Nan Zhiyun was a little confused, but...
"Your Majesty, will you be staying tonight?" Nan Zhiyun suddenly asked.
"Why the sudden question?" Yu Jingchen was a bit surprised by her question.
"Your concubine wants to sleep holding Lingdang tonight..." Nan Zhiyun said, feeling a little guilty afterward.
Yu Jingchen: "..." Did he mishear? What was she talking about?
Nan Zhiyun had no confidence to begin with, and seeing Yu Jingchen's expression, she dared not look at him.
"You're going to crush the new pet you got today to death tonight?" Yu Jingchen said.
Nan Zhiyun: "..." If you don't agree, just say so. What kind of words are these?
"If you crush it to death, there won't be any others later," Yu Jingchen added.
"No... can I be careful?" Nan Zhiyun couldn't bear to.
"Of course not. Don't even think about it," Yu Jingchen refused decisively this time.
"Why... Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun was unwilling to give up, her eyes teary. Yu Jingchen slapped his hand forward, covering Nan Zhiyun's small, palm-sized face.
"Acting cute won't work. It's a no," Yu Jingchen said.
Oh, right... "Is it a female kitten?" Yu Jingchen suddenly remembered to ask. He didn't know before and hadn't considered this issue.
"A male kitten," Nan Zhiyun answered voluntarily. Yu Jingchen's expression changed instantly. Why hadn't he avoided this issue before?
Yu Jingchen looked at the cat in Nan Zhiyun's arms and began to find it displeasing. The next moment... he reached out and lifted the cat directly from Nan Zhiyun's embrace.
Lingdang had been sleeping soundly and was startled by the sudden action. The entire cat was suspended in mid-air, its eyes still dazed. It hadn't even reacted before it was directly thrown out.
Meow~ Lingdang fell to the ground, but it was covered with a carpet, so there was no serious harm.
"Your Majesty!" Nan Zhiyun was stunned by Yu Jingchen's action. What was he doing?
"This one doesn't count. Let's get another one," Yu Jingchen said.
"Ah?" Nan Zhiyun's mind jolted.
"It's just a cat anyway, it doesn't matter if we change it," Yu Jingchen thought that they were all similar, and besides, how long had it been? There shouldn't be any deep affection... right.
"Why? No... just this one," Nan Zhiyun didn't want to let go.
"Jiang Ji!" Nan Zhiyun called out, and Jiang Ji understood, picking up the cat.
"Send it back and choose another one," Yu Jingchen immediately said.
"Bring Lingdang back to me," Nan Zhiyun added.
Jiang Ji: "..." What to do when caught in a dilemma?
"Take off the bell on its neck and bring it to your Shu Consort. Take the cat away," Yu Jingchen changed his approach.
Nan Zhiyun: "..."
Jiang Ji: "..."
"Don't you want the bell? Keep the bell, let the cat go," Yu Jingchen even said it as if it were natural.
Nan Zhiyun: "..." Was this His Majesty?
"Give it to me!" Nan Zhiyun ignored Yu Jingchen and directly reached out towards Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji stood there, not daring to move, but... he hesitated for only two seconds before handing the cat to Nan Zhiyun.
Nan Zhiyun took the cat, satisfied. At the same time, she was still cautious, lest Yu Jingchen throw the cat out again.
