Chapter 973: The Cat’s Double Standard

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The cat was black and gray in color. Its body was so thin that it was rather shriveled. Its hair, which was wet from the rain, was drooping. It did not look cute at all.

Looking at its lean appearance, it seemed like it had not eaten its fill for a few days. It was probably not a pet raised by any family, but an ordinary stray cat.

Through the glass window that was filled with raindrops, Diya looked at the pitiful little thing. Suddenly, her heart softened.

Although she was usually unruly and willful, and had a haughty manner towards everyone, she could not bear to see the suffering of small animals.

Fiennes had even used this to ridicule her before, saying that Diya’s attitude towards small animals was better than her attitude towards people.

Diya did not know why either. It was probably because those soft and cute little things always looked innocent and harmless.

...

Diya immediately ran down from the window and rushed out of the house without thinking. She did not even take the big black umbrella in the house!

When Ming Ye, who was flipping through the electronic documents, saw her like this, he almost thought that Diya wanted to escape. Hence, he quickly grabbed the umbrella in the corner of the house and directly walked out!

Although the rain was not as heavy as before, the patter of raindrops still fell on Diya’s body. She suddenly became drenched.

The rain flowed down her collar and into her skin, but Diya could not care less.

She only focused on looking in the bushes outside the courtyard.

The stray cat did not have a fixed residence, so of course, it did not run far.

It only relied on the dense bushes to hide from the rain, but its body had long been drenched.

The cat heard the sound of Diya’s footsteps and suddenly raised its head. Its black-brown eyes flashed, and it stared at Diya vigilantly out of instinct.

However, at this moment, the cat was so thin that it did not have any deterrent force. In Diya’s eyes, it was extremely pitiful.

An inexplicable feeling of sadness welled up in Diya’s heart.

She slowly squatted down and tried her best to be friendly. She wanted to get closer to the cat and carry it back into the house.

“Kitty, be good. I’m not a bad person. Big sister will bring you into the house to hide from the rain, okay?”

The cat was still staring at Diya vigilantly. Its fur bristled, and the raindrops covering its fur immediately splashed out, almost splashing all over Diya’s face.

What a good intention!

Diya was both angry and amused.

But on second thought, why was she sulking with a stray cat?!

That was just an ordinary cat. How could it distinguish between a good person and a bad person?

Maybe this cat had been raised by someone. Was it abandoned by someone?

Diya thought about it and immediately reached out her hand to hug the cat.

The cat seemed to be afraid and ran into the bushes, leaving Diya with a determined back view.

Hey, this cat was too ungrateful!

Diya felt defeated. At this moment, she suddenly felt that the raindrops in the sky seemed to have weakened a lot.

Diya was stunned. She raised her eyes and looked up.

She saw a tall and slender figure standing in front of her coldly.

The other party was wearing a very straight black shirt and a suit of the same color on his arm. His well-defined hand was holding a big black umbrella.

Unlike her own sorry state, this man’s clothes did not have the slightest bit of rain or mud on them.

There was a kind of almost contradictory ascetic temperament that made people forget vulgarity.

Was he shielding her from the rain?

Diya was stunned. Before she had time to think clearly, she saw Ming Ye hand over the suit that was on his arm.

What was he doing?

“Put it on.”

Ming Ye looked at Diya indifferently. There was no emotion in his voice. It was a simple word, but it sounded like an order.

It had an indescribably strong aura.

Diya took it subconsciously and put it on her body.

The suit that still had Ming Ye’s heat was not as cold as that man’s expression. Instead, there was a faint warmth.

Diya was very surprised that Ming Ye would take the initiative to hand her the jacket after she was drenched by the rain.

Because it seemed that Ming Ye was not such a considerate person.

Diya could not help but blush. Before she could thank him, she saw Ming Ye pass the big black umbrella to her.

The man plunged into the rain.

The clean and tall figure was instantly exposed to the rain that blocked the sky and sun. He was drenched by the rain.

“Hey, what are you going to do?”

Diya was stunned. She hurriedly wanted to catch up with Ming Ye, but she saw that Ming Ye was faster than she imagined. He seemed to blend into the night.

Diya suddenly saw Ming Ye crouching down and reaching out to grab something in the bushes.

Soon, the man carried out a black-gray cat.

The man’s body was completely exposed in the rainy night. His black hair was messed up by the rain, but he did not seem to be in a sorry state.

So, he was looking for the stray cat...

Diya’s pupils slightly widened, but there was an inexplicable feeling spreading in her heart.

This man, standing in the rain with the cat in his arms, was more moving than any other scenery.

...

All of this was out of Diya’s expectations.

Could it be that this man was like her, also very protective of small animals?

Diya held the umbrella in a daze. She realized that Ming Ye was still in the rain, so she hurried over.

She held the umbrella for Ming Ye.

Because Ming Ye was too tall, at around 1.8 meters, it was very difficult for Diya to hold the umbrella. She was just short of tiptoeing.

However, no matter how hard it was to hold the umbrella, it could not be compared to the joy in her heart at this moment.

“Thank you. For helping me find this stray cat.”

Diya found it strange that the stray cat just now bared its teeth when it saw her. It looked like it did not want to be close to strangers.

However, now that it was being held in this man’s arms, it was as gentle as a domesticated pet. It even took the opportunity to shrink in Ming Ye’s arms!

Hey, hey, hey, you don’t have to treat people differently. Is there a need for this double standard?!

Diya felt a little unbalanced in her heart. She immediately pouted at Ming Ye.

“Let me hold it. Can you hold the umbrella?”

Ming Ye nodded lightly and took the big black umbrella. Then, he wanted to hand the cat in his arms to Diya.

Who would have thought that when the cat saw that it was going to be handed over to Diya, it seemed as though it had seen some old enemy. It was originally obedient, but it suddenly let out a hoarse cry!

Its entire skinny body crawled into Ming Ye’s arms. Moreover, its hind legs were stepping on Ming Ye’s hands as though it was expressing its dissatisfaction!

“Ah!”

Diya was completely dumbfounded by the cat’s double standard!

God, in her lifetime, she was actually despised by a cat!

However, Ming Ye did not care about the emotions of a cat. With a cold expression, he carried the cat swiftly and handed it over to Diya.

The cat was extremely unwilling. It glared at Diya and climbed onto her arm, biting on her arm!

Although the cat was skinny, its teeth were still extremely sharp. Blood flowed out from Diya’s arm.

In an instant, a scarlet red spread out.
