   🍍"Brother, can you help me?" Ruan Ningxi knew her advantages, but she never bothered to use them. At this moment, however, driven by some unknown urgency—perhaps genuine desperation to save the cat—she chose a method most men would prefer. Coincidentally, following her soft, sweet voice was a perfectly timed meow, a sweet, childlike cry. That meow acted like a switch; the little girl's eyes lit up the instant she heard it. She meowed back, "Meow~" "Don't be afraid, baby, sister's here." Fu Yibei unconsciously lowered his gaze. Before he could react, the little girl had already crouched down, seemingly intending to crawl under the car. A small, barely noticeable, dusty mark appeared on her white dress. The man frowned slightly, his true emotion unreadable. However, unlike usual, he didn't leave immediately.
