"A gentleman never takes what others like." Jiang Ci smiled gently, bent down and picked up the kitten at his feet.

The kitten was basking in the sun when Jiang Ci suddenly picked him up and scratched him gently with his little paws. In an instant, Jiang Ci felt a crisp feeling.

The kitten was very docile. It narrowed its eyes in Jiang Ci's arms and continued to bask in the sun.

"It really likes you. Shao Yan said that you are alone in Huacheng, so why not let Xiaoxue accompany you? Xiaoxue is very easy to take care of." Ning An said.

Jiang Ci likes this cat very much. Because of his work, he has never raised a pet, let alone a small pet, but now he likes this kitten very much.

Xiaoxue seemed to be clinging to him too, nestling motionless in his arms.

Jiang Ci thought that he would return to the Jiang family soon. If he took the kitten back, someone would take care of it.

"Then I'll pick it up later? Thank you. Such a cute cat. If I take it away, will Little Candy be reluctant to part with it?"

"There is a kitten at home. It doesn't matter. I also see that Xiaoxue likes you very much."

“Very cute.”

Under the gentle light, Ning An raised his head slightly and looked at Jiang Ci. The man in the white shirt looked soft, and his three-dimensional facial features showed a calm and friendly face, especially when he was holding the cat.

Ning An didn't say much, she quickly hugged Senbao and left.

In the open space of the manor, a group of men were drinking red wine and chatting.

Someone was talking about the Happy Island case not long ago. Because of the close connection with the rich second-generation circle, everyone couldn't help but talk a little more.

"Who is that Zhou Hongming?"

"I don't know. I heard that I grew up abroad and have little contact with domestic circles."

"I heard that the whole island was blown up, right?"

"Yes, Zhou Hongming blew it up himself, probably in order to avoid pursuit. Doesn't it mean that Zhou Hongming wasn't caught?"

"He is abroad, so it is very difficult to catch him, but the rest of the people are not as lucky as him. I heard that Zeng Chengliang was promoted to another level because of this case, and he made first-class merit."

"Zeng Chengliang's iron-blooded skills are very powerful. The last time my friend and I raced, his people arrested us and imprisoned us for several days."

"By the way, I discovered something strange. My friend works at a children's hospital. He said that last time he saw Zeng Chengliang's wife holding a baby to see a doctor. Later, Zeng Chengliang also went there."

"Yo? This is old age, isn't it? Her wife is retiring soon, can she have children?"

"Stupid, it must not be his wife's fault."

"Could it be his daughter's child?"

"Impossible, his daughter is still in college and is very well-behaved."

"Whose child is that?"

"Why are you gossiping like this? Maybe it's from a relative's family."

Zeng Chengliang did not belong to their circle. They chatted for a few words but did not talk anymore and changed the topic one after another.

Song Shaoyan heard their chat.

Because he was Jiang Shu's friend, he had already learned all the facts when he visited Zeng Chengliang and promised Zeng Chengliang to keep it secret.

Externally, Zeng Chengliang said that this was the little girl he adopted, and Song Shaoyan also agreed to keep it secret.

Some things... keeping secrets is also a kind of white lie!

He couldn't say this to Jiang Ci because he didn't quite know what kind of existence Jiang Shu was to Jiang Ci.

When Jiang Shu insisted on giving birth to the child, she hid it from Jiang Ci. She definitely didn't want to delay Jiang Ci.

After all, there is a huge difference in status between them.
