Chapter 132 The Cat Returns 16
Yi Zeyu reached out and touched Shen Chumo's head, but Shen Chumo pulled Yi Zeyu's hand down and pressed it down with her claws, then gently bit Yi Changfan's hand.
It pulled Yi Changfan's hand over and pressed it down with its paws as well. The hands of the two people and the cat were stacked together, and the scene looked quite eerie.
After a moment of surprise, Yi Changfan slowly said, "Mo Mo... do you want us to stop arguing?"
He looked at Shen Chumo, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Although Momo was usually quite intelligent and perceptive, this incident was truly outrageous.
Mo Mo seemed to understand the conflict between them and tried to resolve it.
Shen Chumo nodded, and Yi Zeyu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "Momo, we agreed that you couldn't become a spirit, so how did you become one?"
Shen Chumo meowed at him in dissatisfaction, "Even a cat that has become a spirit is still a cat."
Yi Changfan swallowed hard and said, "Mo Mo, can you understand what we're saying? Nod if you can."
Shen Chumo immediately looked up and gazed elsewhere, as if their previous actions were all a figment of their imagination.
Yi Zeyu chuckled and said, "Mo Mo, could you act any more fake?"
This action was clearly an act of pretending not to understand; the acting was really clumsy.
The atmosphere in the ward became somewhat delicate because of Shen Chumo's actions. Yi Changfan and Yi Zeyu exchanged a glance, and they saw the same worry in each other's eyes.
We absolutely must not let anyone else know about Momo's unusual behavior.
Yi Changfan looked down at Shen Chumo, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting.
He said softly, "Mo Mo, we know you are special, but we will protect you and not let others discover your secret."
Shen Chumo raised her head and meowed at him, her voice sweet and soft.
That meow seemed to be a response to Yi Changfan, full of trust and reliance. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, like dazzling gems, making people feel affection for her.
Yi Zeyu tasted the flavor: "And me too."
Shen Chumo turned her head, rubbed against his arm, and then meowed softly. Yi Zeyu's lips curled up, "That's more like it."
Shen Chumo wasn't feeling well, and seeing that the two had stopped arguing, she lay back down.
The atmosphere between Yi Zeyu and Yi Changfan finally improved. The two sat side by side on the chairs. Yi Changfan lowered his eyes and apologized, "Yi Zeyu, I was too anxious just now. I know you love Momo very much and would not have hurt her intentionally. I apologize to you."
Yi Zeyu leaned back in his chair, tilting his head back, closing his eyes, revealing his fair and slender neck.
Hearing this, he smirked, "No need to explain, I know what kind of image I have in your heart."
Yi Changfan suddenly said, "I know my recent trouble finding an apartment is all your doing, Yi Zeyi. Sometimes I really don't understand what you're trying to do."
Yi Zeyu turned to look at Yi Changfan with a complicated expression, then he said self-deprecatingly, "I just don't like you, so I'm going to sabotage you."
Yi Zeyu's words carried a hint of defiance, but his eyes revealed an indescribable emotion.
Yi Changfan sighed, "If you don't want to talk about it, fine, but I hope you won't involve others in our affairs."
Yi Zeyu: "Others? You don't mean Zhou Mengqi, do you? What? Has she been coming to you to complain again?"
Zhou Mengqi has been getting increasingly unruly lately, and Momo's incident tonight is probably related to her.
Yi Changfan hummed in agreement. "Mengqi is your girlfriend after all. She actually loves you very much. You should treat her well."
Yi Zeyu shook his head with a cold laugh, "Yi Changfan, that's what I hate most about you. It's like you can apologize to someone who stabs you in the back."
You're so forgiving of others, so why are you so different with me...?
Yi Changfan frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about? Mengqi is my friend, and of course I want her to be happy."
Yi Zeyu rolled his eyes. "I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm tired. I'm going to rest for a while."
After saying that, Yi Zeyu leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
A hush fell over the ward, broken only by Shen Chumo's faint breathing and the ticking of the IV drip. Yi Changfan looked at Yi Zeyu, his heart filled with conflict.
At this moment, Yi Changfan's phone lit up. He picked it up, swiped to open it, and tapped on the message.
It was a WeChat message from Zhou Mengqi: "Changfan, how is Momo? Is she alright? I really didn't mean to do it today."
Yi Changfan frowned. Could it be that Mo Mo's illness was because of Meng Qi?
Yi Changfan replied, "Mo Mo has gastroenteritis and is being treated in the hospital. What exactly happened tonight?"
After a while, Zhou Mengqi replied: "Mo Mo suddenly showed up at the party today and stole some meat skewers. I was worried about her safety, so I tried to drag her back to her room. But Mo Mo kept running around, and while trying to avoid me, she accidentally fell into the pool."
Zeyu mistakenly thought I pushed Momo into the water, but I really didn't! Changfan, you know I really like Momo, how could I hurt it? Changfan, do you believe me?" Zhou Mengqi's words were full of urgency and grievance.
Zhou Mengqi sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes fixed on the phone screen. After a long while, the other end finally replied, "Okay, I'll figure it out."
Zhou Mengqi's breathing quickened as she read the message. What did Yi Changfan mean? Did he still doubt her?
Zhou Mengqi angrily threw her phone on the bed, grabbed her hair with both hands, and recalled the mocking looks Anna and her friends gave her when they left. Zhou Mengqi wished she could just throw Shen Chumo into the swimming pool and drown him.
Those mocking glances pierced her heart like sharp arrows, making her feel incredibly humiliated. These glances reminded her of the disdain and bullying she had suffered at school.
It's just a cat, I really don't understand why Yi Changfan and Yi Zeyu value it so much. She's clearly Yi Zeyu's girlfriend and the future mistress of the Yi family, so why do those people still look down on her?
No, no, she was determined to restore things to their original state. As long as the cat was gone, everything would be back to normal. Thinking of this, Zhou Mengqi gave a pale smile that looked particularly eerie under the light.
Inside the hospital, Yi Changfan felt even heavier after replying to the message. He looked up at Shen Chumo, wondering if all of this was really related to Meng Qi.
Mo Mo has never liked Meng Qi since she came to the Yi family, and she has never allowed Meng Qi to hold her. Why did Meng Qi still try to take Mo Mo back to her room?
When Momo went missing last time, Mengqi's words didn't seem to indicate she liked Momo very much...
Yi Changfan shook his head. No, he couldn't suspect Meng Qi without evidence.
After much deliberation, Yi Changfan finally opened Chen Shao's WeChat account. He had added him by chance before, and he never expected it would come in handy now.
