Xiao Yu sulked as he lay on top of ‘Fishy’s iPad’, completely ignoring Yan Jin’s teasing.

“What’s wrong with your hamster? It doesn’t seem energetic.” There was no sense of worry in Chu Ge’s tone, it was filled with joy in other people’s misfortunes instead.

Yan Jin withdrew his hand: “He’s throwing a tantrum, probably holding a grudge against me for giving him someone else’s belongings.”

For a moment, Chu Ge did not know where to start insulting him. He paused for a few moments and then slowly said, “You can even understand that? Is your brother Gol. D. Roger?¹”

Yan Jin rolled his eyes.

Without anyone reminding him, Xiao Yu had never noticed before. But now that Chu Ge mentioned it, he suddenly felt that Yan Jin really seemed to be controlling his emotions when dealing with him.

Not only this time but also that time with the tomato-stewed fish. Yan Jin realized that he was angry – most people would have thought that their hamster had gone mad or something. But Yan Jin apologized to him instead. That was too incredible.

Or should he say… he had a high affinity with animals?

What a joke. If it were others, maybe, but this is Yan Jin they were talking about.

“Oh right, almost forgot the main issue while I was messing with you.” Chu Ge slapped his head as he nagged, “The cage is still in my car. Coincidentally, today is my day off so I rushed here to give it to you.”

Yan Jin asked puzzledly, “You said you were going to order one just yesterday, and it has already been delivered today?”

“It’s all because of your good fortune. My neighbor happens to be doing such a business. I made an inquiry with them when I got back yesterday. Turns out coincidentally, someone ordered a cage from them two months ago but did not collect it. So, they gave it to me instead.”

Yan Jin widened his eyes in disbelief: “You got a cage that someone else ordered and passed it on to me?”

Chu He fearlessly gestured his hand in the air: “The model is special. It usually takes about ten days to half a month for a made-to-order product. Just use it for the time being. When there’s more time, well… you can get a new one. I’m just worried your little Fishy can’t wait till that day.”

That sentence didn’t sound auspicious at all. But at this moment, Xiao Yu simply did not know what Chu Ge was hinting at.

Xiao Yu felt that not only he could afford to wait, he was not even anxious at all. Or more accurately, he didn’t even want to stay in a cage. If he was hungry, he could find food by himself. If he needed to use the toilet, he could find a piece of tissue and dump everything into the dustbin after he was done.

But he couldn’t convey such thoughts to others, much less reveal his uniqueness. If he was adopted by someone else, Xiao Yu might have thought of a way to tell them about his mystical experience. Yet it had to be Yan Jin. Dealing with the opposing company’s chairman, Xiao Yu still had lingering fears against Yan Jin for his previous one-sided discussion.

The plagiarizing issue wasn’t over yet. Now that he had this unique advantage, he would not expose his identity. At the very least, he would need to wait until he found evidence that Yan Jin’s subordinate was indeed stealing his work. Then he would expose their identity and slap it in his face.

In fact, Yan Jin felt indifferent about the cage; he had kept other pets before, it’s just that he had never brought a cage for them. He was the only one staying in this villa and there were cleaners scheduled to come over for cleaning. He didn’t mind the pets running around his room, and there was no need for these kinds of things to restrict his pets. When he had that Scottish fold cat, he even knocked down the walls of the two bedrooms on the second floor just so that the kitten could use it as a playroom. Too bad that kitten never lasted till that day.
