Chapter 287: Li Li Has a Kitty Now!
Chapter 287: Li Li Has a Kitty Now!
Everyone else had a look of disbelief!
Even Lu Junhan squinted his deep, dark eyes.
This is unbelievable!
How could it be such a coincidence!
The neighbors had just moved out, and in the blink of an eye, Pei Xiubai’s house got blown up.
It exploded, but not much damage was done to the house, except it couldn’t be lived in.
And now, as compensation, he just so happened to be able to live next door to them.
Each link connected seamlessly, like a flawless sequence.
Even a sci-fi show wouldn’t dare script it like this!
If Pei Xiubai wasn’t right here, and his shocked expression upon learning about his villa being blown up didn’t seem genuine.
Otherwise, Song Qingwan and the others might suspect if he planned it all just to get close to the little girl.
The only one sitting tranquilly in a wheelchair was Pei Xiubai, his elegant eyebrows slightly furrowed, maintaining a calm demeanor without much fluctuation in his expression.
As if it was all expected.
It was like this last time.
And it’s the same this time.
It seemed that once this little troublemaker desperately wanted something.
No matter how impossible the situation seemed at the time.
In the end, she would always get what she wanted.
Thinking about it, it’s really strange.
Yet, upon careful consideration, there’s no concrete evidence linking her to this incident.
It could only be chalked up to coincidence.
It really feels like a supernatural event.
Pei Xiubai’s dark gaze fell on the little girl, narrowing slightly with a hint of curiosity.
Over there, the little girl, having digested the bodyguard’s words, had her black eyes shining brightly.
She eagerly looked at Song Qingwan, as if seeking confirmation, her little voice crisp and clear:
"Auntie, auntie! Xiu Bai’s house blew up, does that mean he’ll be living next door to us from now on?"
Song Qingwan was at her wits’ end, not knowing what reason to offer to appease her.
She was even more afraid that if she spoke further, their neighbor’s house might actually blow up.
So, in utter despair, she held her forehead and waved her hand in resignation:
"Yes, yes, yes, he’ll be living next to us from now on, go and play with your Xiu Bai brother!"
"Ah! I’m so happy! Li Li can play with Xiu Bai brother from now on!"
The little girl gleefully cheered.
Then, she started to run towards Pei Xiubai with her tiny legs.
But was stopped by a mere glance from her father midway.
The little girl, fearing she’d be picked up again, quickly stopped not far away from Pei Xiubai, standing obediently.
But her dark, clear eyes remained sparkling.
As though all the starlight in the sky had gathered inside them, her long, dark eyelashes fluttering, so well-behaved and pretty.
Lu Junhan looked at her adoring gaze for Pei Xiubai, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
He inexplicably felt a surge of anger.
He’s just a cripple, what’s so great about him?
Moreover, among the disabled, it’s not like the Little Troublemaker was this attached to her grandfather.
Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit irritable and impatient.
Looks like tonight’s bedtime story just found its subject.
Pei Xiubai, probably to quickly deal with the matters of his villa.
Didn’t say much else.
He simply signaled to his subordinate to hand a pink gift box to the little girl.
The box’s packaging was exceptionally girly, full of pale pink, adorned with little bunny designs, looking quite exquisite and cute.
The little girl saw it, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Instantly, she was delighted!
For the little girl, the box was not too big but a bit heavy, requiring both hands to hold it.
As a result, she had no hands free to open the box.
The little girl glanced at the beautiful little box, blinked, and happily asked Pei Xiubai:
"Xiu Bai brother, what’s inside this?"
Pei Xiubai, concise and indifferent, replied:
"The thing I said I’d give you before."
"The thing you said you’d give to Li Li before...?"
The little girl tilted her head, her memory wasn’t good, and she had already forgotten what was mentioned before.
Upon hearing that, she looked confused, with her big, clear black eyes blinking:
"What is it?"
Saying this, she quickly came over, softly apologizing:
"I’m sorry, Xiu Bai brother, Li Li seems to have forgotten, Li Li is so silly..."
"It’s okay, you’ll know in a moment."
In the next second, under the murderous gaze of Song Qingwan, Lu Qidong, the old man, and Lu Junhan—
The teenager, with a face like a phantom, reached out indifferently, slightly curling his crimson lips, gently ruffling the little girl’s head, and spoke softly:
"The gift’s been delivered, I’ll be off now."
Lu Junhan squinted his eyes, a thick sense of danger emanating from his dark pupils.
As if he’s about to cut off Pei Xiubai’s dirty hand at any moment.
Seeing this, Song Qingwan shivered, quickly pulling him back, lest he make a mess of the situation.
After all, they would be neighbors from now on.
Perhaps, he might actually help them take care of the child.
Better not to sour the relationship.
"Goodbye, Xiu Bai brother!"
The little girl had no idea, her Xiu Bai brother almost danced on the edge of death.
She placed the box on the ground, happily waving her little hand towards Pei Xiubai.
Pei Xiubai responded quietly with a simple "Mm".
Without lingering any longer, he left with a large group of bodyguards.
Once he was gone, Song Qingwan, who had just been holding Lu Junhan back, thinking about improving relations with Pei Xiubai, regretted it more and more.
She hurried over and rubbed the little girl’s head several times.
As if afraid there might be some kind of virus on it!
Lu Junhan: "..."
Lu Qidong saw the little girl’s innocent and confused face, too cute to resist!
Also couldn’t help coming over to give a few rubs.
The old man saw, thinking he wouldn’t miss a chance, also joined in to give a few rubs.
Little girl: "..."
The little girl’s hair, already a bit messy from being squished by a bear earlier, was now ruffled this way and that, instantly turning into a bird’s nest!
Now she really looked like she was picked up from the streets.
Lu Junhan: "..."
Lu Junhan looked on with disdain.
However, before he could say anything.
At this moment, a clear sound came from the pink box that the little girl had just placed on the ground:
"Meow~"
The mewing sound was so soft and young, it sounded like it just recently saw the world.
However, this cat’s meow reached everyone’s ears unmistakably!
In an instant, everyone’s gaze turned to the box.
The gift box probably wasn’t covered well, or maybe it was never covered.
In the next second, the box lid was pushed up.
The gift box opened a crack.
Soon enough,
A snow-white lilac-colored Ragdoll kitten hesitantly poked its fluffy little head out from the gift box.
It tilted its tiny cat head, those lilac, glistening eyes gazing at everyone curiously, wondering who they were:
"Meow meow meow?"
"Kitty!"
The little girl, upon seeing it, showed a trace of surprise on her fair face.
She immediately remembered her Xiu Bai brother had mentioned giving her a kitty.
The little loli couldn’t help but feel the joy in her heart, and the next second, she happily pointed to the cat, saying to her dad:
"Daddy! Look! It’s a kitty! Xiu Bai brother really did give me a kitty! This is amazing! Li Li also has a kitty now!"
Song Qingwan, Lu Qidong, the old man: "..."
It’s over.
This time it’s really over.
