Give Me Back My Cat!

Growing up | Fatherly possessiveness | Straightforward kitty | Ten-year age gap

-

Everyone knows Xun Xiuming is a domineering CEO. Nobody knows he's a pervert.

Xun Xiuming is young and handsome. Standing next to those middle-aged, balding bosses around him, he looks like he's from a different world.

The bosses are always surrounded by young men and women, going everywhere together and even bringing them home. Xun Xiuming looks down on them.

Not because he's especially noble or has no interest in such things. He's just even more perverted than those bosses, so perverted that in this law-abiding society, he can't act on any of it.

He can only keep it bottled up.

Only Xun Xiuming knows how dark his thoughts are, darker than anyone else's.

He wants a creature that belongs entirely to him, whose every move in life he can control. Ideally, it would have sharp little claws and struggle from time to time, always trying to escape his grasp.

"Meow!"

A coquettish voice came from beside his feet. Xun Xiuming looked down. A palm-sized tabby cat was rubbing the mud off its head against his suit pants.

"Little thing, do you want me to lock you up?"

Everyone in the business world knows that Xun Xiuming has a treasure at home. President Xun returns home on time every day, but never brings his sweetheart out. Now and then, a pink scratch peeks out at his neck, a small display of how much he dotes on his darling.

One day, Xun Xiuming opened the front door and, as usual, fished a cat treat from the snack bag. He planned to reward the little cat for spending the whole day home alone.

But on the big bed in the bedroom, he saw a beautiful, unfamiliar young man wearing his shirt, showing off a pair of long, pale legs. The boy fit Xun Xiuming's usual type perfectly, but Xun Xiuming didn't spare him a glance.

Xun Xiuming searched the entire house but couldn't find the cat. The cat treat fell from his hand and was picked up by the young man.

Xun Xiuming flew into a rage. "What did you do to my cat?"

The young man looked up: ?

The young man was annoyed: What are you talking about? Hurry up and give me the cat treat!

[Bonus Scene]

One day at dinner, everyone around the table chatted about funny things their cats did.

When it was Xun Xiuming's turn, he said, "Ludou was a picky eater as a kitten. Once he got tired of goat's milk, he'd rather starve than take another sip."

He also wanted to say that the little cat liked to crawl into his underwear to sleep. But with his respectable image in front of his mother-in-law at stake, the CEO silently shut his mouth.

The cat's mom smiled. "After a kitten drinks milk, you can shake its belly and hear the liquid sloshing around."

She looked at Xun Xiuming. "It goes glug-glug. It's so cute, right?"

Xun Xiuming: "...Right."

Actually, he'd never heard it. After all, when President Xun first took in the cat, he considered himself a respectable man. Why would he shake the kitten to hear its belly slosh?

He'd missed out on one of his wife's adorably irresistible moments. (Clenches fist in silent regret.)
