Chapter 109: Jiejie is Kitten!
It was already 3 pm when they returned to Xi He City from Dongqian City.
Yu Qingyan and Yan Nanzhi had several properties in the Independent State, but none happened to be in Xi He City. Due to Xue Xun and Xu Zhou’s situation, they decided to stay at their older daughter’s villa for two days, then go to their younger daughter’s house for New Year’s.
The two hovercars headed in different directions in the main urban area.
Back at home, Ming Zaozao, who had slept the entire way, was still a little drowsy, only regaining her energy when Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan came over. She took them to play in the garden.
The sounds of barking, meowing, and the robotic bird’s cooing filled the air.
Zhu Yiqiao worked on the terrace, and Ming Fei went to the second floor to unpack.
After a while, Ming Fei went downstairs, made a pot of honey flower tea for Zhu Yiqiao at the bar, carried the tray over, and placed it down. Zhu Yiqiao took her wrist and kissed her on the lips.
Ming Fei’s eyes half-closed, her gaze sweeping over the flower bushes, confirming that Ming Zaozao wasn’t around. The kiss, originally meant to be a fleeting touch, gradually deepened, and she tasted the strawberry flavor on Zhu Yiqiao’s lips.
Pulling back, she said, “…Strawberry.”
Zhu Yiqiao said, “I just ate a strawberry from Zaozao’s fruit platter.”
Ming Fei smiled: “Was it good?”
Zhu Yiqiao: “Mm.”
Just as she finished speaking, Ming Fei released her hand, turned around like a busy little bee, went to cut a fruit platter for Zhu Yiqiao, and continued to quietly accompany her as she worked, occasionally picking up a piece of fruit and holding it to Zhu Yiqiao’s lips.
Zhu Yiqiao’s gaze didn’t leave the display screen, but her lips would part slightly to take the fruit, adding other fruity fragrances to the mix.
The weather in Xi He City had been good recently. The afternoon sun was like melted beeswax, slowly dripping through the clouds.
It wasn’t until five o’clock that the sky gradually darkened, and Zhu Yiqiao finally finished her work. However, the main reason she could finish so quickly was that the Trial Court’s investigation was progressing smoothly, and as of today, the entire case was basically solved.
All that remained was to organize the information and announce it to the public.
A ding.
Ming Fei’s phone vibrated. She glanced at the message from Xu Zhou and, suddenly remembering the bracelet, asked curiously,
“Jiejie, how did you know there was something hidden in Jiejie’s bracelet?”
This was Zhu Yiqiao’s sharp intuition, honed from her years as the top student at the military academy and as an army commander. Both the Ole Empire and the Independent State of Yi Meng’s military had similar high-level concealment and protection methods.
She explained it to Ming Fei, and after listening, Ming Fei kissed her on the cheek as a sign of gratitude and praise.
Since they started dating, Ming Fei diligently wrote down her praise and love for Kitten in her Love Diary with Kitten every day. Therefore, Zhu Yiqiao understood the hidden meaning behind this kiss.
Translated, it meant—
[Thank you, clever and perceptive Kitten, Kitten is so amazing.]
At six o’clock in the evening, the three of them went to Xu Zhou’s villa for dinner. Seeing Xu Zhou and Xue Xun together after Xu Zhou regained her memory, the smile in Ming Fei’s eyes deepened.
The atmosphere during dinner was very good, everyone’s eyes filled with smiles. Because the atmosphere was so pleasant, Ming Fei even forgot to ask if the Arifilme drink contained alcohol.
The answer gradually revealed itself within an hour of their return trip home.
The night was like water, the villa bathed in the bright moonlight. The lights on the second floor were bright. After washing up, Ming Zaozao fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Ming Fei covered her with the blanket and pushed the door open to leave.
As soon as she returned to the master bedroom, she felt a little dizzy. After steadying herself against the wall, the gland on the back of her neck slowly released a sweet pear fragrance.
At the same time, Zhu Yiqiao, having finished her shower, came out of the bathroom. The moment she sensed the pear scent, she paused, then quickly walked towards Ming Fei, who was standing under the wall lamp.
A faint blush colored Ming Fei’s fair cheeks. She pursed her lips and asked, a mix of obedience and confusion,
“…Jiejie, what happened to your collarbone?”
What happened to her collarbone?
Ming Fei, who had caused it, should know best.
Because before six o’clock in the evening, she and Ming Fei had been kissing passionately in the study, the kisses trailing from her lips, jaw, and neck down to her collarbone, finally stopping in the center, leaving a rose petal-like mark.
Under the dim orange light of the wall lamp, Zhu Yiqiao looked at her: “Ah Fei, you’re drunk.”
“I didn’t drink any alcohol.”
Zhu Yiqiao: “The Arifilme drink.”
Ming Fei still shook her head, seemingly making herself even dizzier, and simply rested her head on Zhu Yiqiao’s shoulder, calling her name with a mix of coquettishness and clinginess.
“…Zhu Yiqiao.”
“Mm.”
Feeling an itch on her neck, Zhu Yiqiao still indulged her. It wasn’t until another metaphorical rose petal fell that she cupped Ming Fei’s chin and asked,
“Are you…”
She paused, then got to the point: “Ah Fei, you’re the kitten.”
Acting coquettishly like a kitten, releasing pheromones like a kitten, licking and nuzzling like a kitten.
If not a kitten, then what?
Ming Fei didn’t quite understand. In her opinion, Zhu Yiqiao was the kitten, the Kitten in her Love Diary with Kitten.
And soon, Ming Fei showed Zhu Yiqiao with her actions that she wasn’t a coquettish kitten.
Because she kissed Zhu Yiqiao.
Because they soon entered the bathroom.
The moon was bright in the mist, the flower stamens brilliant in the water, the entire bedroom filled with a rich fragrance, even the rose petals they left behind seemed to ooze with sweet juice, the most vibrant roses gradually becoming damp.
Ming Fei tasted the roses. They were sweet.
Kitten is Kitten, Kitten is sweet.
