Cats Can Be Wives Too

After the Shen family’s heir is found and brought home, he brings along a tagalong, too. The Shen family stands alone at the top of S City, so the banquet is especially lively. Everyone who’s anyone in business comes to get acquainted with the young heir. They’ve heard he went missing as a boy and had a very hard life out there. No one knows if he’ll be able to take charge of such a vast family business now that he’s back. Rumors of every kind are flying around, but when people finally see him, they all fall apart. The young heir is every bit the young heir. He’s cold and handsome, with lowered fox-like eyes that make him look bored. When people come over to clink glasses with him, he merely gives a slight nod. His air of aristocratic refinement is impossible to miss. Those who came hoping for a spectacle stop in their tracks. They don’t even dare go up and talk to him. Halfway through the banquet, a boy walks in from outside, still dressed like he’s wearing a school uniform and even carrying a backpack. He looks completely out of place in the glittering ballroom. But Shen Huai, who was so cold just moments ago, strides over. He takes the boy’s backpack as if by habit, then simply picks him up and carries him to a seat by the buffet, feeding him cake one bite at a time. After a couple of bites, the boy refuses to eat more. He shifts uncomfortably and mutters, “It looks like they’re all staring at me.” “Just ignore them.” Shen Huai casually pinches the boy’s butt. “Did you hide your tail properly today?” “What about your ears? Did they pop out without you noticing?” - Shen Huai finds a stray cat. More accurately, the cat follows him. He only feeds it a sausage, and it starts biting his trouser leg, a little fluffy ball stumbling along after him. He isn’t particularly kindhearted. His own life is hard enough, and he has no energy to look after a pet. But the cat keeps following him anyway. In the heavy snowfall, it looks as if a single gust of wind might blow it away. Shen Huai’s expression stays cold. He doesn’t slow down or even look back. But when he passes a snow-covered path, he stops for a moment. He looks back, but the cat is nowhere to be seen. Shen Huai’s brows draw together. He walks back a couple of steps and spots a little hollow in the snow. Only two fluffy legs are left sticking out, kicking, while the tip of a tail swishes back and forth. What a nuisance. He pulls the cat out with a cold expression, tucks it into his arms, and carries it home. So later, when he sees a boy with cat ears and a tail in his bed, Shen Huai’s first thought is still: What a nuisance. How am I supposed to hold him while I sleep tonight? Fine. It doesn’t get in the way. He sleeps even better. *Little bonus scene* Niannian is a tuxedo cat. After turning into a human, almost everything about him is dazzlingly white, except for his jet-black hair and eyes. Shen Huai likes having him show his tail. The black tail curls tremulously around his waist. Whenever it does, Shen Huai lifts the little cat’s tail and strokes it from base to tip. A cat’s tail is very sensitive. With the man holding it in his hand, all it takes is a slight upward tug to make the little cat cry and beg for mercy, forced to say every sort of shameful thing. For example, a muffled, incoherent plea. “Big brother, please...” * Both are virgins, happy ending * Starts poor, ends rich, sweet all the way through * For content warnings, see the author’s note in Chapter 1 * Please don’t scrutinize the details; you can treat it as a fictional setting . Coming soon: Don’t Bully the Honest Guy Lin Cheng can’t stand the little tagalong who’s moved into his house. He must have been told to do something, because all he does is follow Lin Cheng around with eager eyes, like a little rice cake stuck to him. At least he has a good temper. No matter how much Lin Cheng bullies him, he never complains. He just looks at him with those bright, dark eyes, whether they’re in a corner at school or in bed. Lin Cheng has the temper of a spoiled young master, but the little tagalong has managed to smooth him out. He thinks the kid is a little clingy, but he’s come to like him. He’s cute, and his personality suits Lin Cheng. Once they graduate from college, Lin Cheng wouldn’t be opposed to marrying him and giving him a proper place in his life. He never expects that when the truth comes out, he’ll realize he’s the only one who fell in love. The person who seems so honest is actually cold-hearted, with a stone in his chest. For the first time, Lin Cheng flies into a rage. He smashes everything in sight and yells at the other man to get out, saying he never wants to see him again. But he lasts barely two days before falling seriously ill. He takes a photo of himself hooked up to an IV and sends it to him. [Honey, I’m sick.] A bright red exclamation mark appears before the message. The other person has blocked him. * Fierce young master x timid, honest guy . Theme: Use love to make life more beautiful
