Chapter 384: A Message from Jun Li. The Man Was Jealous

Mu Ke didn’t like Qin Shu or her cat.

Then again, with Jun Li’s personality, perhaps it was inevitable that he would like her.

President Ba hurried to Jun Li’s side and ‘meowed’ to please him.

Jun Li chuckled and bent down to pick up the cat. Rubbing President Ba’s head tenderly he chortled, “It really is a cat that can be bribed with fish.”

“Meow” President Ba mewled impatiently.

With President Ba in his arms, Jun Li waltzed out of the room.

Mu Ke had planned to ask Jun Li to stay a while longer but she could not come up with any reason for him to remain. By the time she gathered her thoughts, Jun Li had already wandered out.

She hurriedly chased after him and stood in the corridor at the entrance of the dormitory. She looked at Jun Li’s straight back. Qiao Ran could not compare to him in terms of looks or background.

She chased him as quickly as she could, stopping at the dormitory’s entrance to catch her breath. The sight of his firm back caused her heart to flutter. Jun Li’s fading silhouette outstripped Qiao Ran’s own – both in terms of his looks and background.

It was the silhouette of a man far beyond her reach.

Mu Ke knew that if she worked hard, she would be able to ensnare Qiao Ran with her feminine charms.

However, she could not be too hasty or it would cheapen her accomplishment.

Mu Ke refused to believe that Jun Li would continue to look at Qin Shu genially if he knew how much of a slut she was.

“Mu Ke, Professor Jun just stopped by your room. Did he come to see Qin Shu again?” He Xia had seen Jun Li enter dormitory 205 and noted how long he had been inside.

Mu Ke regarded the two girls standing outside her room with disdain.

Sneering, Mu Ke responded with distaste. “Who said he came looking for Qin Shu? Qin Shu didn’t come back last night and no one knows where she is. God knows whom she is fooling around with.”

He Xia was a little surprised. “How long has it been since school started? She didn’t return last night? Impressive.”

Pausing for a moment, He Xia could not help but ask, “Could it be that Professor Jun was here for you?”

Mu Ke glanced at He Xia, neither confirming nor denying her suspicions.

He Xia took Mu Ke’s silence as a tacit admission. “Then why did Professor Jun leave with Qin Shu’s cat?”

Seeing as He Xia was oblivious to the situation, Mu Ke replied, “You guys don’t know, do you? Professor Jun likes cats.”

“I guess the reason Professor Jun is close to Qin Shu is that he likes cats. Needless to say, Qin Shu’s cat is really good-looking. Apparently, it is something of a rare breed.” Hu Qinqin, who stood beside He Xia, chirped cheerfully. Hu Qinqin adored cats and knew a lot about them.

“I agree. Jun Li should now know what kind of woman Qin Shu is. He probably does not see her in a favourable light. He might even find her loathsome.” He Xia nodded sagely.

Though she had no way to know what went on in Jun Li mind, Mu Ke was sure that a man of Jun Li’s standing would be disgusted by women who indulged in promiscuous relationships.

Jun Li carried President Ba out of the girl’s dormitory.

Today is a weekend, many girls sleep until this point to get up, along the way, attracted a lot of female screams and exclamations.

It was a weekend and many girls had slept in. Every girl he passed elicited screams, exclamations and cries of surprise.

“Ah! Was that Professor Jun walking out of our dormitory? Am I seeing things? No? He actually visited the girl’s dormitory? My God!”

“Professor Jun is extremely good-looking. I think I am in love.”

“What I would give to be the cat in Professor Jun’s arms… to be held so tenderly… It must be wonderful.”

“Please let me become a cat so that I may be hugged by Professor Jun.”

“So Professor Jun also visits the girls’ dormitory. I’m curious. Who was he looking for?”

“What I’m more curious about is whose cat is being pampered in his embrace! I’ve never seen Professor Jun with a cat before.”

All the girls stared at the cat lazing in Jun Li’s arms. They were curious to know who owned it. More so, they wanted to become the cat. Maybe if they turned themselves into cats they would receive some of his affection.

Juying had been waiting downstairs the whole time. When he saw Jun Li holding a cat in his arms, questions flashed across his eyes.

Juying hurriedly made his way over. “Young Master, the cat in your arms…”

Jun Li interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. “Get the kitchen staff to prepare two dishes of fish and send them over.”

After instructing Juying, Jun Li made for the car with President Ba cradled in his arms.

As he got into the driver’s seat, a number of uncertainties whirled in his mind. Nonetheless, Juying did not forget to phone the head chef and relay the Young Master’s instructions to cook two dishes of fish.

Half-an-hour later.

The chefs worked with great efficiency and soon two dishes of fish were sent to Jun Li’s private lounge.

Juying took the plate from the chef and walked to the sofa where the Young Master sat.

Jun Li’s slender figure was patting President Ba who had usurped his arms for its personal comfort. He sat there listlessly with eyes that stared into blank space. Smelling the fresh aroma of fish, his deep green eyes lit up and became transfixed on the fish on the plate in Juying’s hands.

Juying placed the plate on the wooden floor.

President Ba did not need anyone to invite him to eat. He jumped down from his perch atop Jun Li’s leg and squatted in front of the dish. Drool gathered at the corner of his lips as his eyes fixed upon the delicious that had been offered to him.

Although he was starving, President Ba still looked endearing while eating.

Perhaps it was because President Ba was too hungry that he threw all caution to the wind.

It was while Jun Li watched President Ba eating the fish contentedly that he hummed and said, “A cat can be hooked by two fish.”

Juying glanced over at the Young Master and a smile escaped from his upturned lips. He opened his mouth slightly to ask something, but ultimately kept quiet instead.

He did not want to ruin the Young Master’s good mood and so he chose to keep his questions to himself.

Jun Li observed President Ba as he ate, his thoughts drifting to Qin Shu. Retrieving his cell phone from his pocket, he sent Qin Shu a message explaining what had transpired and where President Ba had gone.

At the hotel.

Breakfast was delivered to the guest room and set on a table.

Fu Tingyu washed up in the bathroom and stepped out in a silver-grey bathrobe. He ambled to the bed, sitting in a position that would allow him to appreciate the view of the woman sleeping in it. She was sleeping so soundly that he could not bear to wake her up. Yet, he was afraid that if he did not she would starve.

Ultimately, he decided to rouse her from her sleep.

However, before he could attempt any such undertaking, her cellphone announced the arrival of a message.

He eyed the phone whose screen indicated an unread message silently.

His outstretched hand retreated and dove for the phone beside him. He checked who the sender was and learnt that Jun Li had sent Qin Shu a message.

Fu Tingyu’s eyes narrowed involuntarily at the sight of Jun Li’s message.

Its contents were clear even without his opening it.

Jun Li:

I went to your dormitory today. President Ba was hungry so I packed him off to my place. He’s really well-behaved, don’t worry. Let me know when you return. I’ll bring President Ba back home.

President Ba was very picky with whom he allowed to carry him. Not just anyone had the right to do so. The fact that Jun Li could carry President Ba around in his arms meant that they were very familiar with each other.

Fu Tingyu gripped his phone in his clenched fist. His eyes were fixed on the person lying in bed. A frigid light flashed in his pupils. He was not happy. He was not happy at all.

Having had a good night’s rest, Qin Shu was well-rested and dozing lightly in bed. The gleam in Fu Tingyu’s eyes sent chills down her spine. She woke with a start, shaking off her lethargy as quickly as she could.

In the seconds it took her to do so, she felt the glare being directed at her by Fu Tingyu. It left her more than a little confused.

Just the night before, Fu Tingyu had been smiling happily. His words were peppered in sugary spice, reflecting his good mood.
