Zhou Luchen didn't get a chance to respond.
His phone rang.
Chen Yao glanced over. The caller ID showed: Wenxin.
"Achen."
The voice on the other end still carried its usual cool, beautiful tone, concealing a subtle tranquility.
Zhou Luchen lowered his gaze and looked at the kitten in his arms, merely making a sound of acknowledgment.
He always inadvertently reserved his rare moments of tenderness for her. Wenxin's lips curved slightly. "Are you outside? Or at work? It's so quiet."
Zhou Luchen laughed. "Want to check on me?"
There was a pause on the other end before she said, "I just wanted to know what you've been up to recently."
"Playing around."
Zhou Luchen could easily carry the cat in one palm. His strong, powerful hand cradled the small kitten, the visual contrast in their sizes striking as the young master quite contentedly toyed with it.
MEOW~
The cat's soft mewing made Wenxin frown. "Since when did you start enjoying playing with cats?"
