Chapter 172: Her Name Is Mimi

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After ending the call, the first thing Lu Yingxin did was to get a cat. She did not know what happened to the sickly orange cat from before. One day, when she returned, she found the cat lying on the ground and meowing. It did not move and did not want to eat. At that time, she did not think much of it.

Unexpectedly, it died the next morning. She took the orange cat out and simply threw it into the garbage can. At that time, it was useless to use cats to get close to Lin Xiaowan so she was not in a hurry to buy another one. However, after receiving Lin Xiaowan’s call today, she suddenly remembered she did not have a cat. In any case, it was not a problem since it was not difficult to buy a cat.

Lu Yingxin had her own assistant. Originally, she planned to ask her assistant to buy her a beautiful cat with a good personality. However, she remembered that Lin Xiaowan’s employee had seen the dead orange cat before. With this, she could not just simply get another cat. In the end, she had no choice but to buy the cat herself. Fortunately, orange cats were very common. Moreover, the employee likely did not see the cat clearly. It was okay to buy one that looked similar.

At 5.15 PM, Lu Yingxin rang the doorbell of Lin Xiaowan’s house in Xilin Imperial Garden.

They could remotely open and close the gate and see the people at the entrance from inside the house. When Aunt Wu saw Lu Yingxin, she opened the gate for the latter. When she saw the cat in Lu Yingxin’s arms, she took a few more glances.

Lu Yingxin noticed this and felt a little guilty. However, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she smiled and asked, “Aunty, what’s wrong? Don’t worry. Mimi has been vaccinated. She’s very healthy.”

In fact, Lu Yingxin was simply talking. She had only gotten the cat an hour ago. She had not even given it a name until now nor did she know if it had been vaccinated. She had spontaneously come up with the name ‘Mimi’, and she did not know whether it was healthy or not.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I just thought it looked very small. It’s still a kitten, right? Come in, come in,” Aunt Wu said.

Lu Yingxin changed into the guest’s slippers and asked, “Where’s Xiaowan?”

“Miss Lin is on the second floor. Follow me. I’ll bring you there,” Aunt Wu said, leading Lu Yingxin.

Lu Yingxin could not help but look around. She looked at the shoes on the shelf. There were many shoes in different styles, and she had seen Lin Xiaowan wear a few of them.

Lu Yingxin looked at the exquisite decorations in the house. She found them low-key but luxurious. She looked at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, gorgeous crystal chandelier, and vast space. The living room was not very tidy. There were a few cute plush toys on the couch, and snacks could be seen on the coffee table. The living room was filled with vitality, showing signs of life.

Almost every detail of the house was to Lu Yingxin’s liking. She looked at everything greedily and covetously and could not help but fantasize about living here.

Lin Xiaowan was combing Little Chestnut’s fur at this moment. She had seen a video recently and wanted to collect Little Chetnut’s fur and use it to make a plush toy. As such, she had been diligently combing Little Chestnut’s fur and collecting its fur that had shedded.

When Lin Xiaowan saw Aunt Wu leading Lu Yingxin over, she quickly stood up. “You’re here.”

When she saw the orange curled up in Lu Yingxin’s arms, she was a little surprised. “Wow, what a tiny kitten! It looks about three to four months old. Am 1 right? It’s so cute!”

Lu Yingxin bent down and placed the orange cat on the ground before she said, “How is it cute? Yours is cuter. It’s really beautiful and cute. I can tell at a glance that it’s raised really well. You’re amazing.”

These words were sincere. Lu Yingxin indeed liked Little Chestnut. Its fur was long and slightly curly, and its eyes were big and round. It looked noble and beautiful. When it meowed, it looked and sounded very cute. It was not an exaggeration to say that it looked like a cat princess.

Lin Xiaowan squatted down and tried to pat the little orange cat. She asked, “My cat’s name is Little Chestnut. What’s your cat’s name?”

Lu Yingxin had simply come up with the name earlier. She had to come up with an excuse for the name. She said, “I’m not very good at naming so I simply named it Mimi.”

“It’s still a good name. It sounds cute,” Lin Xiaowan said.

After the little orange cat was placed on the ground, it stood there uneasily and did not dare to move. Its tail was tightly tucked between its legs, and upon closer inspection, one could even see it was trembling slightly. It was clearly very afraid of Lin Xiaowan.

When Lu Yingxin saw how disappointing the cat was behaving, she quickly explained, “Mimi usually stays at home and rarely goes out so she’s very timid.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded in understanding. “Yes, yes. Moreover, cats are afraid of unfamiliar environments. They behave like that when they’re in an unfamiliar environment…”

At this time, Little Chestnut, who was lying comfortably on a pet hammock, jumped down after seeing an unfamiliar person and an unfamiliar cat in its territory. It stood in the distance and watched.

Lin Xiaowan rose to her feet, intending to get some treats. She did not know how old Mimi was, so she asked, “How old is Mimi? Can she eat treats now?”

Lu Yingxin naturally had no idea when a cat could start eating treats. However, she answered, “Yes, she can.”

When Little Chestnut heard the word ‘treats’, it immediately ran to Lin Xiaowan and began to purr.

After getting the treats, Lin Xiaowan sat cross-legged on the ground. She called out to Lu Yingxin, “Don’t just stand there. The floor has been cleaned. I usually sit on the floor. If you’re not used to it, you can sit on this small stool.”

Lu Yingxin thought about it for a moment. In order to get closer to Lin Xiaowan, she decided to sit on the floor as well.

Little Chestnut kept nudging Lin Xiaowan’s hand with its head.

Lin Xiaowan fed Little Chestnut a treat and laughed. “You little glutton, we have to wait for your…”

Lin Xiaowan wanted to say ‘little sister’ seeing that Lu Yingxin’s cat was called Mimi. However, just to be sure, she asked, “Is Mimi a boy or a girl?”

“It’s a girl,” Lu Yingxin said, looking at Little Chestnut. She really liked Little Chestnut, but it did not care about her at all and kept circling Lin Xiaowan. It even ignored the little orange cat.

After a moment, Lu Yingxin asked, “Can I touch Little Chestnut?”

“Give her a treat first so she can familiarize herself with you. She doesn’t like strangers touching her. If she eats the treat, you can touch her,” Lin Xiaowan said, “By the way, Mimi is really obedient.”

At this time, Mimi was already eating the treat that Lin Xiaowan fed it. It was not vigilant at all. When it smelled the treat, it could not wait to eat at all. It looked quite thin, but it could eat a lot.

In fact, Mimi was really hungry. Before it was bought, it had to compete for food with other cats. It was thin and small so it naturally could not compete with the others. Moreover, it was also beaten.

Moreover, since Lu Yingxin bought it until now, she did not even give it a sip of water, let alone food..
