Hey, Your Wife Is Pregnant, Are You Going to Do Something About It?

Chu Jianxing had only recently transferred to the criminal investigation unit. After pulling three all-nighters in a row, she developed a problem: she started hearing things.

A black cat squatted on her desk, swearing up a storm. "Human! Your wife is pregnant. Are you going to do something about it or not?!"

Chu Jianxing: ...I'm single.

On her way home from work, the black cat dragged her all the way to an abandoned well, where she rescued a long-haired calico with a slightly swollen belly.

Helpless, Chu Jianxing brought the cat home, named her "Xiaohua," and took good care of her.

A few months later, Xiaohua gave birth to three kittens, and Chu Jianxing's home became a cat kindergarten.

The sofa was shredded, the curtains became fringe, and in the middle of the night, the three kittens piled on top of each other and trampled her face.

Even more unbelievable, ever since this bunch of "abnormal residents" moved in, cold cases that had been piling up at the city bureau for years started getting solved one after another.

Cats all over the city became her "informants."

As Chu Jianxing gazed at the line of cats crouching outside her window, she fell into deep thought:

Am I a forensic pathologist, or a cat whisperer?

Then one day, Chu Jianxing had a dream.

In the dream, she pinned a woman with fluffy cat ears against the headboard. Hearing her sob with a purr in her voice, Chu Jianxing woke with burning ears and a pounding heart.

Later, Xiaohua and her three kittens mysteriously disappeared. Chu Jianxing searched for three days and couldn't find a single cat hair.

Her mind was in turmoil, so she simply moved away.

A thousand miles away, in the territory of the cat demons, the cat princess excitedly rushed into the palace hall.

"Father, Mother! I've found the one fate destined for me! She saved me, so I gave myself to her... and even had her kittens!"

The Cat King and Queen were overjoyed. They immediately passed the throne to her, and on the day of her coronation, cats from everywhere came to pay homage.

Once the newly crowned queen finished dealing with all the state affairs, she led her whole family in a grand return to the human world to find her wife...

Only to find that her wife had vanished, home and all.

The queen's amber eyes blazed with a dark fire, and even the tip of her tail trembled with anger.

"She dares to seduce me and then abandon me? Turn the world upside down if you have to, but find this heartless woman!"

One stormy night, three drenched, child-shaped figures burst through the doors of the city bureau.

The three little ones cried as they rushed toward Chu Jianxing, clinging to her legs and shouting, "Mommy, we finally found you!"

Chu Jianxing's vision went black. Reluctantly, she got a paternity test, and when the results came in, her vision went black again. She was completely bewildered.

Good heavens, when did I have three kids? And who is their mother?

That night, a sleek calico cat climbed through her window and stared at her with unblinking amber eyes.

Chu Jianxing cried out excitedly, "Xiaohua!"

The next second, she was met with a flurry of cat punches and beaten into fleeing with her arms over her head.

Xiaohua: "Meow, meow, meow!"

You heartless woman! This princess will scratch you to death!
