Chapter 1965: Chapter 1965: Breeding Rules (6)
The young doctor stormed off, saying he was going to get the rabies vaccine, and also told Shang Qi to take Chuzheng to get vaccinated too, since the cat was picked up from outside.
Chuzheng: "..."
Why didn’t I scratch him harder just now!
Shang Qi gently stroked Chuzheng’s back and said softly, "Hungry? I’ll make you something to eat."
Shang Qi took Chuzheng downstairs to cook.
Xiao Si was still in the living room and stepped forward nervously when he saw Shang Qi coming down.
Shang Qi waved his hand, signaling Xiao Si to leave.
"Sir..."
Shang Qi’s eyes were cold: "Leave."
Xiao Si immediately lowered his head and left.
Shang Qi went to the kitchen to prepare a meal. From his actions, nothing seemed unusual, while Chuzheng absentmindedly played with her tail, waiting to be fed by Shang Qi.
Chuzheng wanted to find an opportunity to see what was really going on with Shang Qi, but he was incredibly cautious afterward, leaving Chuzheng with no chance.
With her small body, there was no way she could pin someone down directly.
In the following days, Shang Qi didn’t go out, spending each day either reading or practicing piano in the same music room Chuzheng had visited before.
Chuzheng eventually figured out what Shang Qi did for a living—a genius pianist.
When Shang Qi practiced the piano, he was always deeply immersed, sometimes even forgetting the time.
Each time Chuzheng was starving, she would go in and nudge Shang Qi.
Shang Qi eventually got a sense of Chuzheng’s temperament. The man and the cat, from being strangers at first, gradually developed a tacit understanding.
However, Shang Qi found it a bit strange; since bringing her back, he hadn’t heard her meow once.
Sometimes, Shang Qi tried to tease her, hoping to get a single meow, and then—Chuzheng ignored him.

[Hidden Task: Obtain a Good Person Card from Shang Qi and prevent his dark transformation.]
Chuzheng was startled awake by the King’s Account. Ever since turning into a cat, she couldn’t control her instincts, wanting to sleep during the day and roam at night.
The King’s Account’s task only appeared now...The Good Person Card is in trouble!
Chuzheng quickly glanced outside. It appeared to be around three or four in the afternoon, and Chuzheng noticed a car parked below.
The car only parked there when Shang Qi went out.
Chuzheng immediately got up, shook her fur, and dashed out of the room.
Shang Qi just emerged from the study. He was still wearing a thin, loose sweater, one corner tucked into his pants, looking both casual and handsome.
Meow! I want to pounce!
Shang Qi closed the study door: "Yue Ban, I’m going out. You stay at home obediently."
"..." I don’t want this name, thank you!
Chuzheng dashed over, using the flower stand nearby for leverage, and jumped directly into Shang Qi’s arms, her little paws clinging to his wrist.
"What’s wrong?" Shang Qi didn’t understand what Chuzheng meant.
Shang Qi rarely went out, but it wasn’t like he never did. Every time, this little thing just watched indifferently without doing anything.
Chuzheng: Take me with you!
Of course, Shang Qi couldn’t understand Chuzheng’s words from a distance. He stroked the soft fur on her neck, speaking slowly, "I’ll be back tonight, and I’ve prepared all your meals. Xiao Si will heat it for you."
Chuzheng continued clinging on and wouldn’t let go.
Shang Qi tried to pry her off a couple of times, but Chuzheng only extended her claws and stared at him fiercely with ears perked up.
Shang Qi: "..."
It’s so hard to communicate with a cat.
Shang Qi brought Chuzheng downstairs, where the Boss of the bodyguard team was waiting in the foyer: "Sir, we can depart now."
"Mm." Shang Qi replied, then lowered his head to look at the little one still clinging to his wrist. He couldn’t find anger, and patiently coaxed, "I have work to do outside; will you wait at home for me?"
Chuzheng: So I can come recover your corpse? I suspect you’re making things difficult for me.
This is such a challenge for me, a weak and helpless cat!
Shang Qi was a bit helpless, not knowing how to coax Chuzheng into letting go. Just as he was troubled, the little paw holding his wrist suddenly relaxed.
And then the embrace was empty, as Chuzheng darted out the door.
"Yue Ban..." Shang Qi instinctively chased after her: "Stop her."
The bodyguards reacted swiftly, but unfortunately, Chuzheng’s small and agile body quickly darted past them, jumping directly into the back seat of the car with the door open.
When Shang Qi chased outside, Chuzheng was already sitting in the back seat, looking somewhat well-behaved—of course, if you didn’t look at her eyes.
Shang Qi approached the car door and bent down: "Do you want to go with me?"
Chuzheng coolly nodded her head.
Shang Qi was stunned for a moment, fell silent for a bit, and then got into the car: "Let’s go."
The bodyguard team glanced at each other, not daring to say much, and quickly got into the car.
Shang Qi’s bodyguard team consisted of six people, usually working in pairs; today, the Boss and Xiao Er were with him.
Once Chuzheng got in the car, she comfortably began playing with her tail, while also digesting the materials fed to her by the King’s Account.

Shang Qi, a genius pianist, was already famous at sixteen.
But Shang Qi lived a secluded life, rarely seen outside of public occasions.
However, this didn’t stop everyone from admiring his looks. As some people said, if Shang Qi debuted, those fresh faces in the entertainment industry wouldn’t stand a chance.
Yet, Shang Qi had another identity, the eldest grandson of the Shang family in City B.
There were no dramas about mistresses climbing to the top, or illegitimate children fighting for inheritance. The Shang family had a strict family style, and the descendants kept themselves clean; Shang Qi’s parents were alive.
However...
When Mother Shang was pregnant with Shang Qi, various accidents started happening, and there were several instances where her life was nearly lost. The Shang family invited a well-known Taoist priest who said Mother Shang was carrying a calamity star, advising them to terminate the pregnancy.
Mother Shang refused to agree, so she frequently hovered at the Ghost Gate. The Shang family guarded her heavily, allowing Shang Qi to be born.
Shang Qi was born healthy, but Mother Shang barely made it off the operating table.
Father Shang almost couldn’t hold back from strangling Shang Qi then and there.
Shang Qi’s birth brought various disasters to the Shang family.
One by one, people around started having accidents, and business started fluctuating.
Recalling the Taoist priest’s claim that Shang Qi was a calamity star, Father Shang invited the priest back to find a solution.
Considering the child was still young, the priest performed a ritual and finally drew a talisman for Shang Qi to wear.
Things indeed got better afterward; people around stopped having accidents, and business gradually improved.
However, when Shang Qi turned five, the talisman he wore spontaneously combusted.
Then, just like when he was born, misfortune descended upon the Shang family.
Father Shang couldn’t watch Shang Qi drive the family to ruin, but the child was already five years old; he couldn’t really be ruthless, so he bought a mountain and built an estate for Shang Qi.
Since then, Shang Qi could only live in that vast and cold estate built by the Shang family’s own hands.
In the following ten years or so, Shang Qi never set foot in the Shang family again, and although the Shang family wasn’t always smooth sailing, no major problems occurred.
Until, during a charity event, Shang Qi met Shang Shanyu, his full-blood sister.
Comparing their names, it’s evident how much the Shang family loathed him and despised his existence.
Shang Qi knew little about Shang Shanyu, but the little girl knew quite a lot about him, immediately calling him a disaster star and a scourge, full of disdain, wishing him dead.
