Chapter 7: Chapter 75: The Awkward Child

Lüzhu stood by her side, watching Feng Chuge's smile, and felt a trace of chill rising up her spine...

In the past, whenever the Young Miss flashed this particular smile, nothing good ever happened.

Thinking back to the things Zi Lan had told her after the Young Miss and the others returned from the banquet a few days ago.

Lüzhu secretly prayed for Helian Jinyu in her heart.

Hopefully, Helian Jinyu won't die too miserably!!

"Meow—" Suddenly, a burst of miserable cries came from not far away.

Immediately following that, a white ball of flesh charged straight into Feng Chuge's arms.

Feng Chuge looked at the trembling ball of flesh in her arms, then saw A Chen approaching from nearby. She curled her lips slightly, "A Chen, what happened?"

A Chen stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a railing to the side, his eyebrows lifting coldly, "This stupid cat stole the pastries my wife bought."

"Meow—" The meatball let out another cry.

Those pastries were truly delicious!!

Wuu wuu... Master is really too biased!! Only buying them for that weird kid, and not for me...

Feng Chuge's eye twitched... "Pastries? I'll just buy more..."

"Miss, I still have some over here..." Lüzhu spoke up.

"Alright. A Chen, I'll have Lüzhu give some to you..."

"No—" A Chen's expression turned icy.

It wasn't that he was angry because he had nothing to eat, but rather, these were things Feng Chuge had personally bought for him. Before he could even eat them, they had been eaten by that stupid cat...

"Such a temperamental child..." Feng Chuge raised an eyebrow.

"Woman, you still treat me like a child." A Chen curled his lips, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.

He wasn't a child, and he didn't want her treating him like one...

A trace of desolation suddenly curled at the corners of his mouth. He turned around and walked out.

Feng Chuge and Lüzhu froze in place, staring at each other blankly.

What was wrong with A Chen?

In her arms, the meatball leaned to one side, having long since quieted down.

The meatball was very spiritual and easily sensed the chill that had just emanated from A Chen.

This kind of chill was completely different from anything it had felt before...

"Meow..." The meatball let out a soft cry and lifted its head to look at Feng Chuge, its wet eyes shimmering with a blue light.

............

As evening approached, Feng Chuge entered the kitchen to make food for A Chen.

Lately, A Chen had always preferred eating what she made.

Every time she saw the sense of satisfaction on A Chen's face after a meal, Feng Chuge felt truly happy in her heart~~

"A Chen, time to eat..." Outside A Chen's door, Feng Chuge knocked lightly, but there was no response for a long time.

Feng Chuge simply assumed A Chen was still angry about what happened during the day.

"A Chen... come out and eat... don't be angry anymore... be good..."

Still silence.

Feng Chuge frowned slightly. The room seemed eerily quiet, and moreover, she was currently somewhat unable to sense A Chen's aura.

She pushed the door open and entered, only to find the room completely empty—

Feng Chuge turned around, searching through the Feng Estate. "A Chen..."

"Miss, what happened?" Zi Lan and the others came over upon hearing the commotion.

"Have you seen A Chen?"

"No, doesn't A Chen like staying in his own room the most?" Zi Lan and the others exchanged glances.

"That's right, Miss. Wasn't the last time we saw A Chen only two hours ago? However... at that time, A Chen seemed to be really upset about something..." Feng Chuge's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding actually rose within her...

"Go look for him everywhere... I hope nothing has happened."
