Chapter 34

“Tang Qing!”

The boy who was just kissing him a second ago disappeared from his sight.

Fu Yixuan’s heart stopped beating in shock.

A soft meow sounded:

“Meow~”

Fu Yixuan focused his gaze and saw that where Tang Qing was tied up on the chair, there was no trace of him, only the ropes and clothes falling down. Inside the clothes, a fluffy thing was trying to crawl out.

A round little head popped out first, followed by a fluffy and cute orange ball appearing before his eyes.

It was an orange cat.

Its fur was shiny and bright, a pure and beautiful orange color, with snow-white paws like wearing white gloves. A fluffy big tail hung behind him, soft and fluffy. Its most beautiful feature was his round cat eyes, crystal clear like two sparkling green gems. Its eyes were full of tenderness as it looked at Fu Yixuan.

The orange cat had the same patterns as Xiao Mi.

Fu Yixuan was first incredulous, then uncontrollable joy surged in his heart.

For years, he had walked alone in the darkness, sometimes even doubting if Tang Tang had really appeared? Was it because those years were too dark that he imagined such a perfect and cute little cat?

That was the first light he saw in the darkness, but that light cruelly disappeared.

And now, that light has returned.

“Tang, Tang Tang…”

Fu Yixuan shook suddenly, overwhelming emotions flooded his mind, turning his thoughts into a mess.

With just one glance, the man recognized that this was the cat he had longed for, the cat that had accompanied him through his dark teenage years.

It was Tang Tang.

His Baby Tang Tang.

He couldn’t control the choking in his voice, filled with ecstatic joy of regaining what he lost.

Other than whispering the cat’s name, he couldn’t say anything.

The little cat also stared blankly at the man.

Tang Qing never thought about how he suddenly turned into a cat, nor did he consider if he could turn back.

He shook his fluffy cat ears, then looked at the man tied to the chair, limbs dripping with blood, yet still eagerly looking at him, as if he only had him in his heart and eyes.

The man who made his heart race.

Tang Qing leaped up and landed on that familiar arm, like a scarf, firmly clinging to the man’s neck, nuzzling the man’s chin affectionately with his fluffy little head.

“Meow~”

Tang Tang’s voice was sweet and soft, full of attachment and love.

Fu Yixuan had no doubt; even if a hundred cats were meowing at the same time now, he could immediately recognize the one that belonged to him.

His one and only Baby Tang Tang.

Tang Qing lay on the man’s thigh, agilely twisted around, circling behind the man, and used his teeth to gnaw at the ropes binding the man’s hands and feet.

As soon as the ropes fell, Tang Qing felt a pair of warm hands eagerly lifting him up, then he was tucked into a familiar and warm embrace.

The man’s embrace was airtight, firmly holding Tang Qing as if wanting to embed him into his bones and blood.

“Tang Tang, you’re finally back, Tang Tang.” The man lowered his head and showered him with a series of kisses.

Oh… here it comes again…

The familiar handsome man’s kiss attack…

Help, I can’t breathe…

“Meow~!”

The little cat let out a pitiful meow.

The man loosened his grip slightly, and Tang Qing quickly took deep breaths.

Damn it, even Shangguan Ming couldn’t kill me, but I almost met my end in this man’s embrace.

“Baby Tang Tang, did you turn into a human and come back to find me? You are Tang Qing, right?” The man’s embrace was tight.

“Meow~”

Tang Qing didn’t know how to explain it; he didn’t turn from a cat into a human, he was always a human.

Fu Yixuan buried his head in the small cat, the soft and dense cat fur making his heart incredibly tender.

Turns out Tang Qing was Tang Tang, and Tang Tang was Tang Qing.

That little cat that accompanied him during his youth, the little assistant who would pounce on him to shield him from danger, and then turned back into the orange cat he needed the most, helping him untie the ropes.

It was all the same person.

In his cursed life, his only ray of redemption.

“Baby Tang Tang, whether you are a cat demon or a human, you can’t leave me again, do you understand?” The man tightly hugged the little cat in his arms, his deep phoenix eyes filled with madness and restraint.

Tang Qing quickly nodded obediently, his fluffy head bobbing back and forth.

The man tenderly looked at the cat in his arms, feeling like it wasn’t secure enough in his embrace, he couldn’t help but say with concern:

“Baby Tang Tang, you’ve become so thin.”

Tang Qing:…

He knows that seeing him in his true form has made him so excited that he’s lost his mind. But in his current cat body, he is still the same as when he left, with a slightly chubby physique.

After regaining his freedom, Fu Yixuan carefully observed the room. The room was very small, with only a very tiny window. There was nothing in the room except two chairs and ropes scattered on the ground.

Fu Yixuan lifted one of the chairs in the room and smashed it to pieces. He picked up a sharp piece of the chair leg as a weapon.

Tang Qing pointed to the window. He noticed that Shangguan Ming controlled the entrance and exit through a button outside the door. With his small body, even though he was a bit chubby, he could still squeeze through that small window to press the button.

However, Fu Yixuan immediately rejected this idea: “No, you can’t go out alone and take risks. I won’t let you out of my sight again.”

Tang Qing wanted to persuade Fu Yixuan, but at that moment, the door opened, and Shangguan Ming walked in without any defenses.

Fu Yixuan immediately tucked the cat into his arms, swiftly kicked Shangguan Ming with his foot, fierce and fast, causing him to retreat repeatedly.

Fu Yixuan had been diligent in working out over the years, with strong and powerful muscles all over his body, dealing with Shangguan Ming was a piece of cake. Shangguan Ming didn’t expect Fu Yixuan to have already freed himself from the ropes, caught off guard, he was hit directly, falling to the ground, clutching his abdomen in pain.

Two bodyguards also stepped forward and started fighting with Fu Yixuan.

Fu Yixuan blocked a bodyguard’s fist with his right hand, exerted force with his left leg, and kicked another person rushing towards him, knocking him down.

Using his arm muscles, he followed the bodyguard’s wrist to flip him to the ground, then ruthlessly kicked him in the chest. The bodyguard immediately cried out in pain, unable to make a sound, pinned to the ground by Fu Yixuan’s foot.

The bodyguard who was punched was a retired soldier, not only strong but also skilled in combat. He realized that the CEO in front of him, despite his high position, was not as easy to deal with as he had thought. He immediately changed his strategy, moving forward to block Fu Yixuan’s movements with his limbs.

Shangguan Ming got up from the ground, picked up a steel rod, and walked towards Fu Yixuan, who was restrained by the bodyguards, raising the steel rod preparing to strike down, sneering, “Hmph, do you think you can take on three of us, Mr. Fu?”

At a critical moment, a ball of orange fur suddenly sprang out from Fu Yixuan’s arms, leaping towards Shangguan Ming without hesitation, and with sharp claws, scratched towards his eyes.

“Ah, my eyes!”

Shangguan Ming’s eyes stung sharply, weakly letting go of the steel rod, and howling as he covered his eyes.

Fu Yixuan finally broke free from the bodyguards’ restraints, immediately grabbed Shangguan Ming by the collar, took out a small piece of chair leg hidden in his pocket, and held the sharp end onto his neck.

No one could figure out why a cat suddenly appeared from Fu Yixuan, causing chaos as they tried to catch the cat.

“If you dare to touch my cat, I’ll kill him first!” Fu Yixuan said menacingly.

Feeling the sharp end touching his throat, Shangguan Ming’s legs went weak, and he quickly ordered the bodyguards to back off, “Don’t come any closer.”

Fu Yixuan immediately looked down at the cat licking its paw disdainfully on the ground, “Tang Tang, come here.”

Tang Qing dashed towards the man’s trouser leg and swiftly climbed onto his shoulder.

With an orange cat perched on his shoulder, Fu Yixuan dragged Shangguan Ming, walking out of the small room.

It turned out they were still in the Shangguan Group, in a secret room set up by their company.

As Fu Yixuan walked outside, the security personnel from the Fu family were not far away, and Shangguan’s bodyguards stood tens of meters away.

Shangguan Ming kept begging for mercy, “Mr. Fu, forgive me for my past mistakes, spare me. If you leave now, you’ll be safe.”

Feeling the hard object against his throat, he nervously added, “I was just joking with you guys.”

Fu Yixuan coldly chuckled, “Just joking, huh.”

He released the handcuffs on Shangguan Ming’s hands. Just as Shangguan Ming breathed a sigh of relief and tried to walk back, Fu Yixuan kicked him down, raised his right foot, and ruthlessly kicked towards his groin.

Fu Yixuan put all his strength into this kick. Having practiced Taekwondo, he could kick through even several centimeters thick wooden boards. Shangguan Ming was in so much pain that he couldn’t make a sound, rolling on the ground clutching his groin.

The thought of this man’s attempt on Tang Qing made Fu Yixuan nauseous.

Fu Yixuan’s narrow, deep eyes stared emotionlessly at the man on the ground, who was howling in pain. His whole body exuded a heavy aura, his tone cold as a knife, each word emphasized, “Shangguan, some jokes shouldn’t be made lightly.”

Tang Qing also closed his eyes, unable to bear watching.

It wasn’t because he was a saint, but the scene was too bloody, and the little cat couldn’t bear to see it.

He suspected that Shangguan Ming might never stand up again, becoming Shangguan’s Kou¹so you see… The Ming 鳴 in Shangguan Ming has the word bird 鳥 in it… since the bird 鳥 is gone… well there is only Kou口.

Fu Yixuan no longer cared about the bidding project, handing over the work to the vice president, and hurriedly took Tang Qing home.

Back at home, Fu Yixuan unbuttoned his shirt and firmly tucked Tang Qing into his arms.

Only by feeling the little cat’s heartbeat with his own, could he be sure that Tang Tang was still by his side.

Help…

The handsome man’s sealing technique, though late, still arrived²like wrapping him in his shirt. Damn I’m jealous I want a handsome man to wrap me up too.

Fu Yixuan’s chest was broader and more solid than before, firm to the touch. Tang Qing had seen it more than once, but having his whole body pressed against his chest hadn’t happened in a long time.

Tang Qing’s face felt so hot as if it could fry an egg.

No way, Fu Yixuan now knew he was a human, not just a simple little cat, so why did he keep taking off his clothes and pressing against him?

Was this appropriate?

Tang Qing felt a bit shy, extending his paw to push Fu Yixuan’s chest, meowing incessantly in his arms.

But truth be told, the feel of those chest muscles was quite nice.

(*/ω＼*)

Fu Yixuan looked at the little cat in his arms and spoke gently, “What’s wrong, baby, do you feel too dirty?”

“Indeed, staying in that small room for so long and scratching Shangguan Ming, my Baby Tang Tang got dirty. I’ll take Baby Tang Tang for a bath.”

Tang Qing nodded.

He was afraid that if he continued holding on, Fu Yixuan might do something unethical to the little cat.
