45: 46, Stray kitten 45: 46, Stray kitten Shen Yufeng listened to the phone, his stern face revealing a trace of gloom.
After hanging up, he imdiately called his assistant.
“Have Ling Moqing preside over this afternoon’s eting in my place!”

An Xiaoyu’s apartnt was on the sixteenth floor; by the ti the next elevator arrived, it was already late.
Chu Mucheng chased out of the neighborhood’s gate, hesitated for a mont, then pursued toward the west.
What he didn’t know was that An Xiaoyu had run to the east side of the neighborhood where there was a narrow alley, inside was an abandoned factory, almost no one ca and went, with only a recycling station run by an elderly couple, the ground covered with old newspapers, books, beer and soda bottles.
An Xiaoyu squatted on the ground, her head buried in her knees, unwilling to let anyone see her tears.
She really did not understand why Chu Mucheng always targeted her, even escalating his efforts, determined to humiliate her like this!
She had already moved out of the Chu Family’s place, isn’t that enough?
Will there ever be an end to this?
She thought she would be strong, as she said that night, if you can’t fight it off, it’s like being bitten by a dog, but, she couldn’t.

Following the address provided by Mo Jinyu, Shen Yufeng quickly located An Xiaoyu.
He slightly knitted his brow, his obsidian-like pupils intensely fixed on her petite fra, then he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
Though he couldn’t hear the crying, he could see her shoulders trembling, her slender body inspiring a sense of pity.
This was the third ti he saw her cry.
The first ti, she cried over Qin Zixiao after getting drunk.
The second ti, it was after a fever, crying because she missed her father.
And this ti…
who was it for?
But no matter who it was for, it would never be for him!
The thought of that stirred up so restlessness in Shen Yufeng’s heart, along with so inexplicable emotions he couldn’t quite discern.
In any case, he did not like to see her cry; he liked to see her smile, even enjoyed watching her sharp-witted and eloquent when arguing with him.
In the end, Shen Yufeng took steps towards her.
When the handmade custom leather shoes ca to a stop in front of An Xiaoyu, she had no reaction.
Shen Yufeng sighed, slowly squatting down, not saying a word, just pulling An Xiaoyu into his arms.
An Xiaoyu’s body tensed up suddenly, and at that instant, the person she thought of…
was Qin Zixiao.
In the past, whenever she was wronged or bullied by Chu Mucheng, Qin Zixiao would show up beside her, accompanying her and telling jokes to cheer her up.
She had beco accustod to the company and protection of Qin Zixiao.
And now…
The faint scent of mint was entirely different from Qin Zixiao’s, but it was not unfamiliar to her; she didn’t need to open her eyes to know that it was Shen Yufeng.
Why was his embrace…
also so warm?
Neither spoke, and An Xiaoyu’s initially tense body gradually relaxed.
She took a deep breath, her body slowly relaxing in his arms, and in a muffled voice she asked:
“Shen Yufeng, why are you here?”
“Hmm, I saw a stray little wild cat in the garbage pile, so I specifically ca to pick it up!”
Shen Yufeng’s voice was deep but filled with comfort.
An Xiaoyu pushed him away, “You’re the stray cat!”
Although she said that, a wave of warmth slid through her heart, suddenly bringing peace.
Shen Yufeng’s lips curved, a thin smile hooking up, reaching the depths of his eyes, but when An Xiaoyu raised her head with her face covered in tear stains, Shen Yufeng’s expression suddenly changed.
There were traces of blood on the corner of her lips.
Shen Yufeng’s gaze turned icy, his fingertips touching her lips.
“What’s…
what happened here?”
