The security tried to look for Riri’s owner but they could not find anyone back then.
So, in the unpredictable weather of Vermilion City, both the little creatures had shared a broken roof together. Until the puppy disappeared one day.
And Ella figured that Riri probably snuck inside the estate and got lost there, unable to go out.
Ella glanced at Adrian in determination, "We must keep this kitty with us."
Adrian sat there, visibly unmoved as he uttered one single word, "No."
"_"
Ji Yan felt like his soul just left his body.
Given his second master’s aversion to little creatures, it was already a surprise that he was breathing the same air as them for so long. There was no way in the world that he would agree to keep another one.
In the next moment, something so unexpected happened that Ji Yan’s worldview tilted a bit.
Ella looked at Adrian with a little pout, "Baby, the moment I looked at this kitty, I had a feeling that she is going to be our second child. Don’t you think so as well?"
Adrian paused, "Sure."
Ji Yan: "_"
The servants: "_"
Ella: "_"
So, he was unwilling to raise a pet but willing to have a child?
And just like that, the King Family had a new addition.
Since this addition was only possible due to Adrian’s grace, Ella left the task of naming the kitty in his court.
And the kitty got a name from the Emperor—Lala.
Adrian’s lips curved faintly, and Ella squinted. Was that... a dig at her?
She named Riri after his name so he named the kitty after hers? Ella was a little speechless. Adrian... wouldn’t be that petty and sly, would he?
But beggars can’t be choosers. She should be grateful and keep mum for Riri’s happiness.
The servants and Ji Yan all stifled their laughter.
And just like that, Riri’s depressed hours came to pass.
It turned out that the weather had him so bothered because he was missing his friend with whom he had shared past struggles. But he was unable to convey his emotions.
And the moment he got the chance, he did it by leading Ella to the outside of the estate.
Having gotten each other’s company, the kitty and puppy stayed by themselves playing near Riri’s exclusive doghouse.
Seeing that Riri seemed to be faring better than yesterday, Ella finally felt like a burden in her heart was taken off.
However, it was not long before she had a moment of an epic realization.
She had only 3 days left for her examination.
Ella did not dare to dilly dally further in the living room. Rather, she rushed upstairs and locked herself in her room.
It was past 8 pm when Adrian returned from the company, his gaze traced across the living room and paused near the doghouse where he spotted two animals.
The puppy was asleep while the kitten greeted him with a small ’meow’.
Adrian averted his gaze and looked upstairs.
At this moment, Bertha walked towards Adrian and bowed to him, "Miss Yu has locked herself inside her room."
With a sigh, Bertha explained further, "Miss Yu has completely immersed herself in studies due to her exams. She refused to come out..."
...
Now knowing that she had become a cause of concern outside, Ella was idling in her room.
In the beginning, she had locked herself to study but halfway through, Ella realized that she was done with what she could.
What was left was History and Maths, the responsibilities that were kindly taken by Adrian.
Initially, Ella had dismissed the thought of being tutored by Adrian. But when she tried Maths and fumbled halfway through the formulas, she realized that it did seem like a bad idea at all.
He wanted to teach her? Fine, she will let him.
So at this moment, there was soft music floating in the room. With a pink sheet mask on her face, Ella sat on the bed, trying to focus on the contents in the textbooks when—
’Creak’
The door opened from outside.
Ella looked up.
Adrian: "_"
Ella: "_"

"What do you mean by that?" Ella looked at his back, "Whatever it is, you can’t just keep me here and suddenly ask me to pack and leave. Did you get my consent first—"
Ella glanced at Adrian and felt a little miffed. How could he just mock me with that straight face?
