Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 571 - 581: Strange Hong Yi

Since Hong Yi was standing with her back to her, Wen Xiao’ai couldn’t see the expression on her face or the changes in her demeanor, but she clearly saw Hong Yi’s back suddenly stiffen, followed by the lifting of her slightly bowed head.

Hong Yi slowly turned around, looking at Wen Xiao’ai with an expression she couldn’t understand.

She opened her mouth and uttered a sentence, "...What did you just call me...?"

Her voice trembled, her finely arched eyebrows tightening and then relaxing, her expression profoundly odd, and her eyes conveyed a complex and difficult-to-grasp sentiment, seemingly tinged with a hint of excitement.

"Hong, Hong Yi sister... What’s wrong?" Wen Xiao’ai asked, a bit puzzled.

She wondered whether calling her "sister" was incorrect.

Well... It seemed indeed incorrect; after all, she was five hundred years old.

Calling someone in their twenties "sister" might be taking too much of an advantage of them.

But... calling her "little sister" also didn’t seem right.

Calling her just "Hong Yi" felt a bit... impolite.

After all, she called Qing Yi "Brother Qing Yi."

Seeing that Hong Yi kept looking at her with a strange expression and wasn’t speaking, Wen Xiao’ai felt somewhat baffled.

"Um..." Wen Xiao’ai was about to say something.

But Hong Yi spoke first.

"Let’s go."

All the emotions in her eyes were swiftly concealed, her usual cold attitude returning.

After speaking, Hong Yi led the way ahead.

"...Oh."

Wen Xiao’ai promptly called out to Baozi to follow her.

Leaving those who were sprawled on the ground behind...

Seeing a taxi approaching ahead, Hong Yi was about to hail it, but for some reason, she chose to walk back to the hotel with Wen Xiao’ai instead.

"That, did Jun Moyan know I ran outside and got lost, so he sent you to find me?"

Hong Yi, walking in front, didn’t respond; she just kept moving forward.

Seeing that Hong Yi was ignoring her, Wen Xiao’ai, out of options, began to whisper with Baozi.

Hong Yi’s tall and graceful figure, combined with her martial arts training, meant she took large strides, leaving Wen Xiao’ai behind in mere minutes.

Wen Xiao’ai had to sometimes jog to keep up, hopping and jumping behind Hong Yi.

Wanting to ask Hong Yi to wait for her but feeling that she would be ignored anyway, Wen Xiao’ai didn’t call out.

Moreover, she wanted to return to the hotel to see Jun Moyan as soon as possible.

After crossing the street, a red light brought Hong Yi to a halt, allowing Wen Xiao’ai to catch up.

In the few minutes after the green light came on, Wen Xiao’ai surprisingly kept pace beside Hong Yi, not falling behind even a step.

Not that she had gotten faster, but rather Hong Yi had slowed down.

Hong Yi took out a White Rabbit Creamy Candy from her pocket, deftly unwrapping it and popping it into her mouth.

Then, out of habit, she neatly folded the wrapper, fiddling with it between her fingertips.

Feeling Wen Xiao’ai’s glances flicking toward her mouth from time to time, Hong Yi glanced at her and asked indifferently, "What are you looking at?"

Wen Xiao’ai really didn’t expect Hong Yi to start a conversation with her.

It was thought that Wen Xiao’ai would shake her head and reply with a "nothing," but instead, she blurted out, "Is it tasty?"

"..."

Hong Yi couldn’t help but look at her again, noticing her eager expression, and then took out two White Rabbit Creamy Candies from her pocket, offering them to her.

Wen Xiao’ai, seeing the two candies in the palm of Hong Yi’s hand, her eyes brightening, still asked uncertainly, "For me?"

"Mhm."

Hearing they were for her, Wen Xiao’ai immediately grabbed the candies from her palm, laughing as she said, "Hehe, thank you."

Since her hands were still full with the things packed for Jun Moyan, Wen Xiao’ai put one candy into her pocket, and then bit the wrapper of the other with her teeth.
