"ow...ow..." A sound so faint it was almost imperceptible.
"It’s ow ow!" Xia Xiyan’s head shot up in delight, her eyes instantly lighting up. She quickened her pace forward. "ow ow, where are you?"
Following the sound as best as she could, Xiyan finally spotted ow ow trapped under a small tree on a slope!
Yes! She found it!
Xiyan was overjoyed. Supporting herself with a nearby tree trunk, she cautiously moved forward, murmuring under her breath, "ow ow, I’m coming to save you now."
Sitting down slowly on the slope, Xiyan didn’t bother with her umbrella anymore and tossed it aside. She carefully freed ow ow from under the tree.
ow ow seed terrified, its trembling body snuggling further into Xiyan’s arms. "ow~~"
QAQ A wave of emotions—relief and joy—flooded over her.
Lowering her gaze, Xiyan stroked the cat’s damp fur, torn between tears and laughter. "There, there. You’re safe now. Where on earth did you run off to? Do you know how worried we all were about you?"
Thank goodness she had found it now.
Xiyan glanced around her surroundings and quickly pulled out her phone, scrolling to Ou Jue’s number.
The mont the call connected, the excited voice of the girl carried through, "Hello? Ou Jue! You won’t believe this—I found ow ow! I really found it!"
Ou Jue was sitting by Luoluo’s bedside, flipping through files in his hand. He heard the crackling sound of rain on Xiyan’s side and frowned slightly. "Where are you now?"
"I’m right in the forest!"
"Are you okay?"
Xiyan chirped on excitedly, "Don’t worry, ow ow’s fine! Although when I found it, it was—"
Ou Jue swore under his breath. "I’m asking if *you’re* okay, you idiot!"
Xiyan stood up, holding ow ow in one arm and raising her phone with her other hand, carefully scooting her way onto the main road. "? I... I..."
Before she could finish, her foot suddenly slipped.
"Ah—" Xiyan scread, her whole body sliding uncontrollably downward.
Are you kidding ?!
Help!!
Ou Jue imdiately stood up straight, his long fingers gripping the phone tightly. "Hello? Xia Xiyan?!"
Beep, beep, beep...
The call disconnected.
Damn it!
Ou Jue called back again, but the line went dead—her phone was off.
...His temper was rising at an alarming rate.
What the hell was that woman thinking? Was her brain even functioning? Idiot!
Who gave her permission to go into the forest alone?! What kind of hero does she think she is?!
Throwing the files aside, Ou Jue strode out with his long legs, simultaneously scrolling through his contacts to find Butler Li’s number.
"Young Master?"
"Call everyone who can be called. Get them to the forest to look for Xia Xiyan! I’m going to strangle her with my own hands!"
