Chapter 543: What a Perfectly Harmonious Couple!

Still drinking? I'm taking you home!

The appearance of Na Zha was the final straw that "crushed" Zhao Jinmai.

Children always look forward to growing up, but what is the price of growing up?

Zhao Jinmai might not have understood it before, but now, life teaches you—once is enough!

First Big Mi Mi, then Na Zha—when she was still a little sister, how could she ever have faced this? Back then, when He Ba came as a guest to the *Wandering Earth* set, she treated her especially well, always smiling and cooing at her.

Because back then she was young, but now she has grown up.

Actually, Na Zha never showed any real hostility toward Zhao Jinmai—she was just an eighteen-year-old blonde girl who, upon arriving, saw the other woman fussing over her own little treasure and slightly wrinkled her nose.

And after Bai Liang picked her up, Na Zha couldn't help but burst out laughing.

So naughty! She loves it!

She even couldn't resist doing a "couple's reenactment."

She was holding Little Treasure in her arms anyway~

Poor Little Treasure—just returned to his familiar mistress's arms, hadn't even started being mischievous yet, when he was suddenly lifted by the back of his neck.

Fortunately, Na Zha knew Little Treasure had grown up now, and was chubby—he couldn't be carried like a baby anymore.

So she kindly cupped his bottom.

Little Treasure's round eyes were full of innocence; he didn't struggle at all, his fluffy round face seeming to say: Mommy, did I do something bad?

Na Zha: I sensed you were about to do something bad~

One of the best ways to deal with a disobedient kitten is to grab it by the back of the neck.

It instantly becomes still and obedient.

Because mother cats carry their kittens exactly like that—the kittens haven't even opened their eyes yet, and they've probably already been carried by the scruff.

When Na Zha first got Little Treasure, she was a little worried she might not raise him well~

So Bai Liang taught her this trick.

The good news was, it worked—Little Treasure, who used to be so mischievous as a pup, became perfectly well-behaved.

The bad news was, Na Zha really did take things too literally—she perfectly replicated Bai Liang's method.

Bite.

Yes, she actually used her mouth to bite down.

For a long time, Bai Liang couldn't figure out what that idiot was thinking back then.

It always felt like that kind of thing should've been Meng Jie's domain—after all, her thinking was weirder.

Later, he realized Na Zha wasn't just weird—she was genuinely a bit dim-witted.

Add to that her love-struck state, which made it worse—she was simply perfectly copying Bai Liang's instruction.

His word was "bite," not "lift."

This incident taught Bai Liang: there's a way to deal with idiots that suits idiots.

Idiots are as numerous as fish crossing a river—this incident taught him to "stay humble and patient!"

After that, dealing with idiots became no problem at all—even increasingly enjoyable~

A super brain is certainly useful, but completely not using your brain is also a wonderful kind of pleasure.

After handing over the possibly drunk or pretending-to-be-drunk Mai Mai to her agent, Bai Liang slipped right into the car where Na Zha had sat down.

He also casually rescued the poor, dangling Little Treasure.

This little thing was even better at cuddling than Na Zha—he immediately snuggled his head against Bai Liang's body.

Na Zha watched, hands on hips, half-jokingly: "Hmph, unfair!"

"What's unfair?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

"I want Little Treasure to cuddle me too!"

"Then close your eyes~"

After Na Zha obediently closed her eyes, she felt a prickly, tingling sensation on her cheek—clearly not the soft fur of a kitten.

"Aww, you're scratching me with your whiskers—I'm mad!"

Na Zha's "anger" was very obvious—she launched herself straight into Bai Liang's arms.

She rubbed her head against him too, the exact same motion Little Treasure had just used.

Of course, she was Little Treasure's student.

After she finished rubbing, she ended up face-to-face with Little Treasure—now she'd experienced both "Little Treasures'" cheek-rubs. Her life was complete!

"Meow~"

Huh?

Bai Liang looked down and couldn't tell who was meowing.

But based on his experience,

he gently pinched Na Zha's cheek: "Real Little Treasure only meows when he hasn't been fed at mealtime—you've been exposed~"

"Aww, I've learned it so well already!"

Bai Liang said he'd seen even better imitations~

After Li Yitong earned the nickname "Evil Little Kitten," she spent a period where she wanted to meow nonstop—even in bed.

She could do every kind of meow, even the mating cry of wild cats—perfectly.

No one knew where she learned it, but the first time he heard it, it was downright terrifying!

As for Na Zha, she just imitated Little Treasure well—but her strength was that she didn't just copy the meows; she absorbed many of Little Treasure's habits.

Or rather, neither the master nor the pet knew who was copying whom—they just kept growing more and more alike.

This trip, Na Zha came not only to pick up Little Treasure, but mainly to discuss something with Bai Liang.

Fine, the main reason for coming was to see Bai Liang.

After all, if they wanted to discuss things, they could have just made a phone call.

And for picking up the little one, she could have found someone to help — she was purely just free at the moment, and noticed Bai Liang was free too, so naturally they had to meet up.

As for the so-called matter to "discuss" — it was that Nazha had decided to compete for this year's Golden Eagle Goddess title!

She hadn't wanted to join before, her reason being: "Dilireba already took that title, I don't want it~"

Now she wants to join again, and the reason is even simpler: "Dilireba already took it — if I don't take it, wouldn't that be losing face?"

Both lines of thinking are pretty damn ridiculous, but they really do fit Nazha's character.

It's exactly the sort of thing that little head of hers could come up with.

She didn't have any other meaning to it — she just wants to go up against Dilireba.

Although at the premiere the two didn't actually throw down on the spot, Nazha said that was because she was sensible, family-minded, knew the bigger picture, and beautiful with a kind heart.

But the little hometown girl turned around and, without any sense of fair play, "stabbed her in the back"!

Although Reba had cleverly arranged for Bai Liang's parents to be picked up first, while she herself stayed at the premiere venue, putting on a relatively innocent appearance.

She really did fool Nazha — Nazha thought the uncle and aunt had simply left early, and that shameless Dilireba had just stepped out to see them off.

The trick worked, but it didn't matter.

That act alone was enough to keep Nazha fired up and determined to keep going against her.

All this nonsense — don't understand it! Just go at her and that's it!

Reba: I really didn't expect the little hometown girl to be so petty.

If I'd known, I might as well have openly whisked the uncle and aunt away — that way I could have annoyed her even more.

And Nazha's "pettiness" for now can't threaten Reba, but it can threaten two other unlucky souls.

Just as Nazha was gleefully telling Bai Liang about her "perfect plan" at the hotel, Li Xin and Song Qian were both dumbfounded.

What the hell. Wasn't it supposed to be without you?

The two of them had been going at it tooth and nail over the Golden Eagle Goddess title, especially Li Xin, who had been firing shots on all fronts during this period.

Besides competing for the Golden Eagle Goddess, she was also clashing with Bai Lu and Li Yitong over projects.

Still no winner decided — looks like the fight will have to continue!

And on the Golden Eagle Goddess side, at first she was tearing into Song Qian, the two of them putting out wave after wave of marketing press releases.
