Chapter 5: The Cat Little Floss

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Quan Meng was just about to lean against the box and rest for a while when suddenly, a Ragdoll cat with fur as soft as a fluffy sponge ball walked out of the apartment with elegant steps.

When the cat saw Quan Meng, it was stunned for a moment. The next second, it seemed to have returned to its senses and meowed in fright before running back.

“Was I really that scary?” Quan Meng thought to herself.

Quan Meng took out her phone and checked her appearance. She was still as beautiful and alluring as before. She pushed her luggage through the long corridor and found that there was a whole new world inside.

It seemed that Huo Ling had bought the unit next door and the two units are interconnected.

Quan Meng walked further in and realized that she had still underestimated Huo Ling. That man had actually bought the entire building and turned it into a three-story tiny villa.

Quan Meng didn’t know how to evaluate Huo Ling. He was probably very low-key yet lavish. Was this what a rich man was like?

She followed the directions in Huo Ling’s message and found her own bedroom. The decoration was very simple, but it had everything it should have. Even the mattress was more comfortable than the one she had previously.

Quan Meng was extremely pleased and she began dragging her stuff in.

By the time she was done packing, it was only four o’clock in the afternoon. All she could think about was that since this was the first day they were living together, she could cook something nice for Huo Ling. She would definitely be able to gain some favor.

As soon as she made up her mind, Quan Meng sent a message to Huo Ling.

[My dear husband, I’ve already moved in. What time do you get off work? Is there anything you like to eat?] She even added a kiss emoticon.

[Miss Quan, please don’t call me that.] After a long while, Huo Ling finally replied to her message. However, he only replied with one sentence and did not even answer her questions.

[Then what should I call you? Huohuo? Or Lingling? Which one do you like?] Quan Meng persisted in her efforts.

Huo Ling only felt a headache when he read the message on his phone. He began to reflect on whether what he did was correct. This woman was too effusive.

[Just call me Huo Ling.]

“This man is really cold and aloof,” Quan Meng thought to herself.

[By the way, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Little Floss. It’s that Ragdoll cat.] Huo Ling added.

Quan Meng had just replied with a cute emoticon when the cat that had been hiding in the corner walked out slowly and tentatively as if it had sensed its name being called.

Meow! The cat’s meowing was very soft. It seemed to be asking Quan Meng if she was a good person.

Quan Meng had loved small animals since she was a child, but Quan Yi didn’t. When she was young, she had a small kitten, but barely one day after she brought it back, it was thrown into their family pool by Quan Yi and drowned.

She was only 8 years old then, but Quan Yi was already 10 years old. She cried and went to look for her parents to demand justice. She didn’t expect Quan Yi to cut herself and say that she was scratched by the cat when she was carrying it, and her hand accidentally slipped and threw it into the pool.

Anyone with eyes could tell that the scratch marks were man-made, but the Quan family’s parents believed Quan Yi. Quan Meng’s mother even stood up and accused Quan Meng of not watching over her cat properly and that the cat deserved to die for scratching someone. From then on, her mother didn’t allow Quan Meng to keep pets at home.

Quan Meng looked at the timid cat and liked it very much. She reached out with her hand to tease it. Although no one could forbid her from keeping pets after she moved out of the family, she had no time to take care of them anymore.

Little Floss stepped forward and sniffed her hand. It then looked at Quan Meng. After a long while, it slowly put its head on Quan Meng’s hand. It seemed to like her a lot.

“You’re called Little Floss, is that right?” When she saw that Little Floss didn’t reject her, she immediately reached out and pulled the cat into her arms. “From now on, we’re going to live together. Please take care of me!”

Quan Meng held the cat and played with it for a long time until the cat was tired and sleepy.

She turned to look at the clock and realized that it was already 6 pm. Thinking that Huo Ling might be getting off work soon, Quan Meng went to the kitchen to cook some food. She opened the refrigerator and found that it was almost totally empty. There were only a few pieces of bread and some milk.

Did this person usually eat these things? It was such a waste of such a good refrigerator.

Armed with the determination to feed her new husband well, Quan Meng immediately put on her coat and went downstairs to buy groceries!

Quan Meng saw that it was getting late, so she only bought a few ingredients that could be used to make home-cooked dishes. There would be plenty of opportunities to show off her skills in the future. Besides, making elaborate dishes took up too much time. She was also very confident in her culinary skills. Even if she cooked vegetarian noodles, they would be incredibly delicious.

After a quick walk around the neighborhood downstairs, Quan Meng returned with a full load. From vegetables to meat, from fruits to snacks, from drinks to beer, Quan Meng stuffed the refrigerator until it was full.

Quan Meng then made a few simple home-cooked dishes. Afraid that Huo Ling would not like them, she fried another piece of steak and specially arranged the sauce in a heart shape.

It was already 8 pm, and the dishes on the table were no longer steaming hot. She was lying on the sofa in boredom. She had even finished her work, but Huo Ling was still nowhere to be seen.
