Cai Ruolan finally saw the person she had been waiting for. The first time she ever met Long Ning was during the event that the Long Corporation hosted three months ago. The second time was during the presidential banquet in Zhou Country. Now, this was the third time she would be seeing him.
The first time Cai Ruolan saw Long Ning, she knew that she was the perfect pair for him. Asking around for the identity of the man, she found out that he was the king of the business empire, Long Ning. She also learned that many women from the empire wanted to be his partner, but they never once had a chance to even see him. This allowed her to give the opinion that she was fated to meet him.
She wanted him and she would not let anyone else have him. If she could not have him, then no one else could have him.
Knowing that this was the only chance of her being able to meet him again, she was more than ready to enter the door to his office. Although, she really found it annoying that his little assistance kept on getting in the way of her happiness. Good thing, he was no longer here now - letting her gain access entry.
Just when Cai Ruolan was about to push open the door, the door instead opened and she saw him again. However, there was a difference: back then, he was by himself; this time, he was with a female. Worse part? This was the woman that she saw just a few hours ago!
"Bitch! Why're you here?! Such a slut, clinging to him!" Cai Ruolan angrily shouted as envy and jealousy sprouted in her heart.
Fu Chao suddenly felt like he was going to have a heart attack. He only left for a short moment to inform his boss that he could finally for his appointment with his lady boss, but yet, here they are being courted by a crazy lunatic woman prepared for death.
"Are you sure that's a question for me and not for you? It seems you really want me to snap those legs and neck of yours?" Tang Yazhu questioned with a cold and blank expression on her face.
Tang Yazhu was already quite tired from waiting for Long Ning to finish work before going out and now that there was a nasty stripping woman darkening her mood, she was not happy in the least. Her mood could be described in one word: bad.
"You! Honey! Look! She said she's going to kill me!" Cai Ruolan immediately complained to Long Ning while giving him a pitiful look.
There was no one who could resist her charm, even if there was another beautiful woman standing right next to her - there was no way someone could resist a woman in this state.
Sadly, Long Ning simply looked at with a blank expression and then changed the direction of stare towards Tang Yazhu. Feeling the sudden change in her behavior got him thinking if he did something wrong which made her be in a very bad mood.
"Honey? Who's your honey? I'm sure it's not Ning because he's been a single cat before meeting me. If my husband were to have taste in women like you, I'd divorce him," Tang Yazhu mocked her in a cold voice.
"H-husband? Honey, look! She's insulting me!" Cai Ruolan cried out with a pitiful face as her eyes teared up beautifully.
"Do I know you?" Long Ning asked her with his usual cold and blank expression.
Hearing that question, her world shattered in bits and pieces. She was widely known throughout the business empire, but yet he did not know who she was… How could that be?
Suddenly, Tang Yazhu burst out laughing - holding onto her abdomen that was in pain from her bout of laughter. For Long Ning, her laughter was like music to his ears.
"He doesn't even know who you are and yet here you are trying to snatch a man that doesn't belong to you," Tang Yazhu laughed as she struggled to maintain her balance using Long Ning.
In her life, Tang Yazhu has met so many shameless women, but not once did she ever think that she would meet someone as shameless as Cai Ruolan!
"Let's go now. I've already had Fu Chao have the store prepare some purebreds for you," Long Ning said, leading Tang Yazhu away as he no longer wanted to see Cai Ruolan - someone he did not know - and cause his wife to get mad at him.
Cai Ruolan was so angry, but worse than that, she was jealous! Long Ning neglected her, walked past her, just for an unknown woman!
In her rage, Cai Ruolan walked up to Tang Yazhu, wanting to slap her. However, as soon as Tang Yazhu feel someone touch her shoulder for just a second and her danger instinct shot up, she instinctually performed an arm flip to the person wanting to harm her.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Long Ning busily looked at Tang Yazhu in detail, worried that she would be in pain somewhere.
Throughout the entire time that this happened, Long Ning completely neglected the woman that was moaning in pain. The only attention that he gave her was simply a release of murderous aura.
"Dare to attack my wife? Fu Chao! Make sure she's banned from coming here! And you should know what to do about her family," Long Ning angrily ordered before immediately leading Tang Yazhu to the private elevator.
Her world finally shattered… Cai Ruolan had yet to do anything to Tang Yazhu yet he was already angry with her and could even feel the murderous aura from him - making her tremble like a child. However, the most painful jab to her was the fact that he had called another woman, "wife."
Fu Chao felt sorry for her. Cai Ruolan was a famous model and actress, and her family ranked as one of the top twenty in the business empire. But now, the cause for their downfall would be due to her negligence and confidence in romanticizing away their boss. He could only sigh at the woman in love and help her a little by having the security guards send her to the hospital.
At the same time, Fu Chao was amazed at the toll that Cai Ruolan took just because of an arm flip from Tang Yazhu - showing him that she was probably a skilled fighter.
In the underground basement parking lot of the company, Tang Yazhu was sitting in a car with a headache. This was solely due to Long Ning insisting on her going to the hospital to check if Cai Ruolan managed to cause her any harm.
Being unable to change his opinion, Tang Yazhu finally grabbed both of his hands and directly looked at him in the eyes to say, "Hubby! Look, I'm fine, alright? Nothing bad happened, okay? Let's just go now. I'm already in a bad enough mood."
Hearing all that she said, Long Ning could only sigh and relent.
"Fine… Uncle Zhou, please drive us to the pet shop," Long Ning ordered and they finally made their way towards the pet shop.
"Where did you learn that arm flipping technique?" Long Ning asked Tang Yazhu.
Long Ning was quietly shocked by Tang Yazhu, knowing that she had such an offensive skill.
"I learned it from a friend. He knew some martial arts, so he taught me a bit of what he knew," Tang Yazhu answered.
Tang Yazhu could not say that she was a former assassination agent. Well, to be truthful, looking back on the memories of Ren Bao, she really did have a friend that knew some martial arts - so, she was not actually lying.
In a few moments, they finally reached the pet shop. Getting out of the car, they entered the shop together. The bad mood that Tang Yazhu previously had finally changed into excitement after she saw all the animals. She could not wait to meet her new kittens!
When they entered the shop, it was pretty luxurious - proving that it was the usual and ordinary pet shop. This shop was really grand! The pets here had their own pet homes and they were not all crammed in one cage. These animals were sincerely living their life to the fullest!
"Welcome to Grand Blues, Mister and Mrs. Long!" the staff said as they welcomed the two into the store.
The staff from Grand Blues had already heard the news from their boss that the King of the Business Empire would be coming to their shop along with his wife to adopt some purebred cats. Everyone staff of the shop quickly felt a wave of shock after hearing the news and immediately went searching for some new purebreds in case their current ones were not enough.
After getting some new kitties, everyone cleaned up the shop to make it was nice and tidy, and then closed the shop on this day to ensure VVIP service to the two people.
However, they were most shocked at the news that the king got married. Although they all knew that some famous figures got married secretly, they never once thought that the king would also be one of them! Sadly, they could not even talk about this juicy gossip, or else they would surely lose their job.
Long Ning was feeling very pleased when he saw the way that the staff greeted them. Even though he had yet to register their marriage, he was already definite on the fact that Tang Yazhu would be Mrs. Long.
Anyhow, an assistant soon led them to a room and served them some refreshments. As Tang Yazhu waited, she simply talked to Long Ning for entertainment. Then, when she finally saw what she has been so excited for, her eyes sparkled up like the stars.
"Hubby! They're so cute!" Tang Yazhu squealed in an excited tone while pushing and pulling on his sleeve.
In front of them, there was nine staff - each holding a different kitty.
"You can choose which one you want now," Long Ning told her, and she immediately stood up to look at the kitties.
Although he was not excited about having to share the attention of her love, he felt extremely happy knowing just how joyous and happy she was.
"Miss, what breed is this kitty?" Tang Yazhu asked, looking at the light-colored body with grayish purple markings on its tail, ears, and face.
Tang Yazhu liked cats, but she did not know much of the breeds in the cat family.
"This is a Lilac Point Siamese, Ma'am. A group of them arrived just a few days ago. These cats are one of the best and rarest to get, especially for purebreds. In fact, Ma'am is the first customer to look at this cat! These cats have a great personality and they are also very easy to get along with," the assistant politely answered with all the necessary information, but as Tang Yazhu continued to look, she felt that this was not the kitty for her.
Then, she moved on to another kitty and just like before, had the assistant explain what type of breed they are. Going down the line, there was an Ashera, Sphynx, Bengal, Persian, and more, but none of them caught attention. Well, this was until she walked up to the last kitty and saw the little black furball.
"This kitty is so cute!" Tang Yazhu could not help squealing as she was touching, and caressing the kitty.
As she petted the kitty, she saw the grumpy-looking face and the hints of expressionlessness. This kitty reminded her of someone!
"Hubby! Look! Don't you think he looks just like you when you're grumpy?!" Tang Yazhu stated, causing Long Ning to frown.
How could he be compared to a cat?
"This kind of cat just arrived this morning, Ma'am. These are Scottish Folds and they usually have a quiet personality," the assistant explained.
"I really love this cat. Is there another one, white in color and the same exact breed?" Tang Yazhu asked, just continuously showing her affection to this one black cat in front of her.
"Yes, Ma'am. It arrived here along with this black one," the assistant immediately answered and signaled another staff member to get the white Scottish Fold.
After waiting for a few moments and Tang Yazhu got to see the white kitty, she fell deeply in love with it.
The very moment that Tang Yazhu took the kitty from the assistant, she loved it more than anything. This was especially because they both shared the same eye color: blue.
"Hubby, I really like both of them. Can we adopt both of them?" Tang Yazhu pleaded while caressing the kitty in her embrace.
Long Ning could only give a deep sigh. He did not know that very soon… he would be fighting against cats for attention, and would even get jealous of them for taking most of her attention and love.
"Okay, adopt both, then adopt both," Long Ning instantly agreed without much of a thought.
Since she loved them, then he naturally had to comply with her request.
"I'm very pleased that Madam loves them," a middle-aged man suddenly came to greet them.
"Oh, yes, of course! I really do love them! But, uh… Who are you?" Tang Yazhu asked, a bit confused.
"I am Qian Shirong, the owner of Grand Blues. It is my pleasure to give this golden card to you," the man answered, presenting a golden card with the symbol of a black paw in the center of the card.
"Uh… What's the use of this card?" Tang Yazhu asked, receiving the card and looking at all of the distinct features.
"This card allows us to provide all the care your pet will need and there will be a discount should you decide to purchase another pet from this shop. Not only that, you would be recognized as a VIP member of our shop. It will be our honor if Madam would accept this card," Qian Shirong said.
"Oh, thank you then," Tang Yazhu responded as she put the card in her purse.
"Would Madam like us to place the cats in a cage or would Madam be carrying them back home?" Qian Shirong asked.
"We'll carry them back home," Tang Yazhu immediately answered.
She could not wait to bring home the perfect pair of cats.
Inside the car, Long Ning was holding onto the black Scottish Fold cat as though it was his biggest enemy while Tang Yazhu was holding the white cat in her embrace. When he looked at her and saw her enjoying her time with the white cat, he was very happy. However, when he looked back at the cat in his embrace who was just staring at him and frowning, he could not help but to also frown back.
"Hubby, aren't they cute? I think we got the perfect pair!" Tang Yazhu appreciated as she continued to pet the white cat.
"Hubby, the black one should be called Midnight and the white one should be called Moonlight," Tang Yazhu said as soon as the thought appeared in her mind.
Tang Yazhu was so happy being able to give a perfect name for the two cats that she immediately looked at them in nervousness, wondering if they would like the names she gave. When she saw the two cats spring up from their embraces and brush their cute heads on her hand, she instantly died of sweetness.
Long Ning felt completely rejected at this moment. He could not believe that his wife was putting all of her attention on the two cats. He felt betrayed! However, all he could do was just to send them murderous glares and immediately hide his glare when Midnight turned to look at him.
'This cat… Why did it look just like him?' Long Ning thought when he saw Midnight turn around.
