Chapter 14: Be careful with fattening up?

Chu Yu went into the Dong San Suo, and Chu Yu quickly stopped Xing'er, who was about to find a physician, asking them to get some high-quality liquor and some medicine to heal the wound.

After Chu Yu's wound was attended to, her new companion had already finished bathing.

Chu Yu had the little puppy brought over and placed on the warm lounge. As she leaned closer to take a look, she was truly amazed by the appearance of the semi-dry little puppy. Was this pure white and adorable creature the same scruffy little fellow from earlier?

At this moment, the little puppy seemed to want to play with Chu Yu, but also appeared a little scared. It patted its head a couple of times with its little paws, looking somewhat awkward.

Chu Yu couldn't help but chuckle, thinking of a character from a certain cartoon in the future.

"You can be called Xiao Xin, how about that?" Chu Yu patted its head.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin is an easy name to remember. Mistress, can I touch it?" Zao'er looked on eagerly.

Chu Yu replied, "Go ahead and touch it, am I stopping you?" Zao'er's big eyes flashed with excitement, and then she reached out her magic claws towards Xiao Xin...

Chu Yu: Is it too late for her to take back what she just said?

"Mistress, what should we call this little kitten?" Xing'er asked.

Chu Yu looked at the little orange cat, which still seemed guarded at this moment, shivering all over with its tail bristling.

Chu Yu sighed, choosing not to pet it, not wanting to increase its fear. It needed some time to adjust.

"Let's call it Garfield." It's still small now, and she hoped it would grow plump in the future.

"Garfield? Mistress, do you want it to grow a little fat?" Zao'er asked.

Xing'er also felt that the name was a bit arbitrary.

"Haha, it's Garfield," Chu Yu laughed, thinking that "Adding fat" wasn't bad either.

Xing'er suddenly seemed to think of something. Xiao Xin? Adding fat? Is it what her mistress meant by this rounder trend on her chin these days?

When Qing Zhu returned with some fish and lean meat strips, Chu Yu was already asleep on the lounge. She had been busy all day, waking up early in the morning. Now, lying on the lounge looking at her new pets, she couldn't help but feel drowsy.

Zao'er and Qing Zhu gently warned each other to keep quiet, then tried to carefully remove the blanket from Chu Yu's arms, along with the little creatures on it. But Chu Yu, in her slumber, sensed someone touching the items in her hands and immediately tightened her grip.

At this moment, Xiao Xin, inside the little blanket, was also asleep. It had been running around all day and was tired. It was sleeping soundly on the warm lounge, its little belly rising and falling as it breathed, looking very lovely.

As for Garfield, it was cleaning its fur not far from Xiao Xin. Perhaps it also felt Chu Yu's kindness and was less nervous at this moment.

Zao'er could only gently place the blanket back on Chu Yu and remove the hairpin that had become disheveled on her head, afraid of hurting her.

Zao'er watched her mistress sleep soundly, and stayed by her side.

Xing'er was already busy outside - the lord was coming over tonight, and she had to be meticulous.

Fourth Master returned earlier than expected, and what he saw upon entering the room was this scene.

The room was warm and cozy, with Chu Yu's face flushed as she slept, with a hint of drool at the corner of her mouth. Xiao Xin was still sleeping in her arms, while Garfield, with half-open eyes, was also snoring softly.

Fourth Master snorted, thinking that his noble lady was quite cunning, luring him in like this.

But he still couldn't resist being drawn to her. At this moment, he held his breath, subconsciously not wanting to disturb the warm atmosphere of the room.

He sent away the somewhat anxious Zao'er and sat down next to Chu Yu, curious about the two little creatures that had appeared by the lady's side.

He observed Xiao Xin and Garfield - he had rarely seen such small, soft, and cute creatures in the palace.

But he didn't plan to intervene; his woman had the right to raise a small cat and dog. She was much better now than before, and he had no demands. He just hoped she wouldn't cause him trouble.

Fourth Master's gaze unconsciously fell on Chu Yu's hand. How did she get injured?

He picked up her hand for a closer look. It was nothing serious, perhaps a scratch from the little cat on the side - had she brought it back after it was injured?

A feeling of being out of control surged in Fourth Master's heart.

But it didn't last long; he then sensed the warmth of her delicate arm, feeling a little reluctant to let go.

How long were her eyelashes, and why were they so long? He wanted to reach out and touch them.

Her skin was as fair as tofu.

Then he noticed her rosy, peach-like lips, and his throat moved involuntarily.

He had been in close proximity to women before; he had even been to his two mistresses' chambers. But he had never touched them.

Before, he had some thoughts about that, but the powder on their faces, did it get into his mouth when he kissed them?

She, who was overly fastidious, would probably find that kind of thing disgusting.

At this moment, he found himself thinking, How could the Madam be so beautiful? It seemed like she was attracting him in every way. He couldn't help but recall her bright smile from yesterday, feeling a flutter in his heart.

When Fourth Master snapped out of it, his hand was already gently stroking her flushed face as she slept.

At this moment, Chu Yu was dreaming about delicious food, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to bite into it.

Fourth Master, on the other hand, was as still as a statue struck by lightning. Then, his eyes darkened, his pupils swirling, as if a storm was about to erupt.

After a while, Chuyu seemed to turn her head and shake off his hand, then turned over.

The Fourth Prince's phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously.

The next moment, she was lifted up by someone.

Then she woke up in a daze, and when she looked up, she saw a handsome man. She thought she had a good dream and giggled.

He's so handsome, it would be a shame not to tease him a little. She reached out and pulled his face with her fingers...

Huh? It feels so real, how could this be a real person? Then she seemed to be stunned.

The Fourth Prince was also stunned. What just happened?

Was he, Yinzhen, pinched on the face by someone?

!!!

Does this little woman even know what she's doing?

The next moment, he stared at her with his phoenix eyes, getting closer with a menacing look.

Feeling the Fourth Prince's unfriendly gaze, she shivered. Could it be real?

Then his cold breath completely brought Chuyu back to her senses.

She was shocked, staring wide-eyed. What's wrong with this man, getting so close? Could it be that he's been won over by her charm and beauty?

She protected her clothes and wondered why he had been so indifferent to her before?

It's only been a few days, why didn't anyone tell her that this man is so good at flirting?

Oh, it's all because of her irresistible charm. What if he has other intentions later, what should she do?

Oh! So embarrassed!

At this moment, the Fourth Prince was surprised by the rapidly changing expressions on her face. He noticed that her mouth was dry and there was a white mark on her face.

She had just been sleeping on her stomach, and there was a red mark on her face.

He deeply suspected that she might have been possessed just now. He really had no intention of doing anything now.

But seeing the way she looked, he inexplicably wanted to tease her. She had just pinched his face, so it was normal for him to do the same, right?

Thinking this way, he pinched her face, but he didn't control his strength well, leaving a big red mark. Then he felt a little embarrassed.

It must be said that men have a natural talent in certain aspects, no matter how cold they may appear.

Chuyu felt very wronged at this moment. She wanted to explode. If it weren't for the fact that this man was someone she couldn't afford to offend, she really wanted to go up and kick him hard.

How dare he pinch this lady!
