Chapter 90: Saving the Innocent Little Kitten 11

Song Che, feeling somewhat at a loss, clenched his fists.

Who exactly is this person!

How could he know I was about to get my monster‑hunter uncle to help!

Has he long known Yun Mi's identity!

Moreover… moreover, he had Jin Ting send a lawyer's letter—how would Jin Ting listen to him!

Countless thoughts flashed through Song Che's mind.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thought of something, quickly took out his phone, his fingers slightly trembling, and searched for the current CEO of Jin Ting Group.

The Baidu page that popped up showed exactly that person's face!

Jin Chen… he actually is Jin Chen!

Thinking of the Jin family's status, Song Che bit his lip, somewhat regretting his attitude toward him.

If Dad found out that I had offended the Jin family, he'd surely be angry! Although I don't need to inherit the family business, I'm still a member of the Song family—shared honor, shared disgrace…

Song Che, dazed, followed Ling Siyuan away, leaving the items in his cart unattended as the supermarket staff grumbled and put everything back in place.

Ling Siyuan was still in the throes of extreme anger.

He didn't understand the aristocratic families' convoluted ways, nor did he know Jin Chen's identity; he only knew that the face he cared about most had been utterly torn apart today.

This person even snatched the cat he had been eyeing!

The two, inattentive, failed to notice the girl holding the cat quietly raising her phone earlier.

The girl was a reporter from a major domestic news agency.

She had originally come to the supermarket with her own cat, but who would have expected to run into this—both are million‑level internet celebrities, yet in private they abuse cats, simply outrageous.

The girl had already figured out how to criticize this behavior in her article.

Jin Chen was also aware of this girl's existence.

When Ling Siyuan and the other person just approached, 0731 reminded him that this reporter had also later covered Ling Siyuan's past campus bullying and animal abuse, although by then Ling Siyuan had already become hugely popular, his momentum faintly eclipsing that of stars.

Shang Le would naturally do everything to protect him, and with the Heaven's Dao fortune paving the way for the protagonist, under public‑opinion pressure the reporter voluntarily resigned.

After scanning and paying at the self‑checkout, Jin Chen held Yun Mi and left the supermarket, putting all the shopping bags in the trunk before getting in the car.

"Bao Bao, were you frightened?"

Jin Chen lifted the white cat, gently rubbing noses, his tone soft.

"Meow~"

"Yes, Mr. Jin…"

Yun Mi pursed his lips, acting cute, his fluffy front paws pressing on Jin Chen's arm, his soft kitten voice trembling, his round blue eyes misty with tears.

He felt utterly wronged, just wanting to be held by Mr. Jin.

"Meow…"

"Mr. Jin, hold me…"

Jin Chen understood those words.

His heart ached; he pulled Yun Mi back into his embrace, holding him tightly.

"Bao Bao, be good—I won't let anyone hurt you."

Jin Chen kept stroking the white cat's little belly, lowering his head to press his lips against Yun Mi's white fur where pink tinged the ears, murmuring softly.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll take care of Ling Siyuan and Song Che for you."

A chill flickered in his peach‑blossom eyes, a hint of killing intent.

"Meow~"

Yun Mi, cradled in such a warm embrace, felt his pounding heart gradually calm; he nuzzled reassuringly and dependently, his tail winding around Jin Chen's arm.

【Villain Blackening Value detected –10, total now 40!】

【Villain Heartthrob Value detected +10, total now 50!】

【Host, do you want to kill them?】

0731 had just noticed the host's emotional fluctuation and asked doubtfully.

【I will make them suffer a hundred times what Yun Mi endured.】

Jin Chen soothed Yun Mi, a plan forming in his mind.

Back home.

Yun Mi's emotions had mostly calmed, yet his reliance on Jin Chen only grew; he wished to shrink into his arms and never come out.

Naturally, Jin Chen also delighted in pampering him.

Because the original host had an insomnia habit, he disliked others entering his home; thus, aside from having a driver for work commutes, the apartment had no maid or chef.

While cooking, Yun Mi would hide on the stove, waiting.

Jin Chen, afraid oil would splash on him, set down the spatula and reached out both hands toward Yun Mi.

Yun Mi immediately leapt into his arms.

"Bao Bao, sit here, otherwise you'll get scalded."

Jin Chen placed him on the cabinet, a short distance from the stove, so Yun Mi could still watch him.

"Meow~"

Yun Mi wagged his tail, sniffing the food's aroma, thinking Mr. Jin was really amazing—cooking was amazing too!

Such a life is truly cozy, meow!

Jin Chen finished stir‑frying two dishes, plated them, and looking at the white cat about to drool, he laughed helplessly.

"Bao Bao, is your mood better now?"

"Meow~" Yes!

Yun Mi responded, the clear blue eyes continually fixed on the meat on the table.

Whine, I've eaten fish flakes for days, meow—I want meat, I want tasty!

He jumped into Jin Chen's arms, softly acting cute, rubbing his face against him, his voice becoming much softer, both coquettish and clingy.

Meow~

Jin Chen understood.

He feigned surprise, "Bao Bao also wants to eat?"

"Meow!" Yes!

"But cats can't eat too much salt, shall I get you cat food?"

"Meow meow meow~ I don't want cat food~"

He resisted greatly, having already learned on his own to use acting cute to change Mr. Jin's mind.

"For Bao Bao's health, I can only eat a little bit."

Jin Chen took a clean small plate, prepared some meat and corn kernels, and handed it over, saying, "Just this much."

Meow~

Yun Mi ate while thinking.

"I can't always eat cat food, but if the food at home decreases during the day, Mr. Jin will surely suspect."

"What should I do?"

"Do I have to tell him I'm a monster?"

Thinking of humans' fear and rejection of monsters, Yun Mi felt some retreat, even though he knew Mr. Jin might be different, he still didn't dare to gamble.

He had finally found someone who liked him so much and was so good; he didn't want to lose this hard-won warmth.

Sensing Yun Mi's hesitation, Jin Chen's eyes flashed with a smile.

"I don't know when my wife will reveal her identity."

Thinking of this, he swallowed a bite of food and brought it up.

"Bao Bao, today I went out to sign a new recruit and met a very cute guy."

Yun Mi alertly lifted his head, tilting it in confusion.

"What Mr. Jin said……is it about me?"

"His name is Yun Mi, he looks very delicate and cute, and his personality is also great," Jin Chen said, his eyes filled with tenderness, continuing.

"But he seems unwilling to continue being friends with me, and he didn't let me send him home."

【……】

"0731 shook his head, cliché, it's all cliché!"

"Little Pitiful One is so miserable?! Being teased by the Host!"

Meow~

Yun Mi got a bit anxious, Mr. Jin actually thinks like that……

"I don't have any unwillingness!"

He finished the food on the plate, extended his pink little tongue to lick his lips, then wiped it clean on the napkin Jin Chen handed over, and jumped back into Jin Chen's embrace, obediently soft and rubbing.

"But in his heart he thought, next time meeting Mr. Jin in human form, he must let him know that he really likes being friends with him!"
