Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 144

When it came to business, Xie Rong was afraid that the children would be too naive and suffer from the contract.

Su Miaomiao: “Yes, many people contacted Sister Fang, but the Taoist master said that I must be honest when shooting commercials. My skin condition has nothing to do with those skin care products, and I don’t like some kinds of snacks and drinks at all, so I didn’t care about their advertisements. There are a lot of sporting goods, I have to try every one and choose the most comfortable one for me.”

Gu Jialing shook his head, “It’s too wasteful, it’s all money!”

Xu Shou: “A gentleman gets money in a proper way. She must be responsible to consumers.”

Grandma Tao agreed with the children’s choice, “It should be like this, anyway, our Miaomiao is not short of money.”

Xie Rong discovered that except for Gu Jialing who was a little more slick, the other three children had a strong sense of morality.

After being on the boat for fifty minutes, the six people went ashore and walked slowly toward the restaurant.

Gu Jialing looked around, wondering, “Miaomiao won the championship, why didn’t anyone ask her for a picture?”

Grandma Tao smiled and said, “They probably don’t recognize Miaomiao.”

Su Miaomiao was very beautiful, but she wore sportswear on the field, showing a side of concentration, aggressiveness, and explosive power. That was the side that impressed the audience the most. Su Miaomiao usually liked to wear a white dress, had an obedient face, and was quiet. She rarely spoke unless she was arguing with Gu Jialing. Such a huge contrast made it difficult for people who were not familiar with her to recognize her.

After lunch, Xie Rong and Grandma Tao went back home.

University would start again, so Xie Jingyuan, Gu Jialing, and Xu Shou went back to their rooms to read books.

Su Miaomiao stayed alone in her apartment. After a while, Sister Fang called to discuss the endorsement. New and old classmates sent messages to congratulate her on winning the championship.

Su Miaomiao picked out students who she remembered and responded to the message. She ignored the others who she had no impression of. In the end, she simply set the phone to silent.

After finishing her vacation homework, Su Miaomiao took a shower and asked Xie Jingyuan to come over to help dry the clothes.

When Xie Jingyuan was about to go out, Gu Jialing asked curiously, “Where is the Taoist master going?”

Xie Jingyuan looked at him and said, “Helping her clean up.”

After Xie Jingyuan left, Gu Jialing thought for a while, and ran to Xu Shou, “When we were in high school, the Taoist master just helped Su Miaomiao carry her school bag and hand out tissues, but now he even has to clean up the toilet for her. Why is he too kind to her?”

Xu Shou’s expression was heavy, “The Taoist master is keeping his word. He promised the Su family that he will take good care of her, so he will naturally do so.”

If Su Miaomiao didn’t dislike his scent, he would definitely do those trivial matters for the Taoist master.

After Gu Jialing heard his explanation, he no longer doubted anything. He instead started to blame himself for not being reborn in the cat’s house, and not being a neighbor with the Taoist master.

Su Miaomiao sat on the sofa and watched Xie Jingyuan help her.

When Xie Jingyuan finished mopping the floor and went to the bathroom to put the mop, she chased after him and hugged him from behind.

Su Miaomiao rubbed her head against him, “Tonight, will you come to my side to meditate?” With the Taoist master accompanying her, she would sleep very warmly and comfortably.

Xie Jingyuan: “I said many times that a man can’t just enter a woman’s room.”

Su Miaomiao: “I also said that it’s okay for the Taoist master to treat me like a cat. Others don’t know I’m a cat, but you know.”

Xie Jingyuan looked at the ground, “Unless you turn back into a cat, I can’t treat you like a cat.”

With that said, he pulled Su Miaomiao’s hand away, turned and walked out.

Su Miaomiao chased him out, “You’re lying, you obviously treat me like a cat.”

Xie Jingyuan stopped, turned back to her and asked, “When did I treat you like a cat?”

Su Miaomiao came over and confronted him face to face, “If you don’t treat me like a cat, then why are you so kind to me? Why do you help me wipe my hands, do housework, serve food and water, and when I am sleepy, you tell me to sleep on your back? If I want to play, you don’t get angry at me for disturbing your studies and you play tennis with me every day. You have never done these things for Xu Shou, Gu Jialing, and last night, last night I hugged you, but you didn’t push me away.”

Why did it work the previous night but not every night?

Xie Jingyuan looked into her clear eyes that stubbornly wanted him to admit, “Who told you that these things could prove that I treat you as a cat?”

Su Miaomiao thought for a while, took out her notebook, and showed him the cat videos uploaded by those netizens, “Look, other cat slaves take care of their cat owner like this. Zhao Lu treats her Tangtang better than you treat me.”

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

 Zhao Lu, cat slave, cat owner.

He finally knew why she was watching the cat video on the sofa that night, and why she looked at him with triumphant eyes.

It turned out that she had proclaimed herself the owner and recognized him as her slave.

Xie Jingyuan turned off her notebook.

Su Miaomiao’s fingers were almost pinched by the notebook, and when she raised her head, she met a cold and majestic face.

Su Miaomiao was stunned.

The Taoist master in her previous life was always like that, like a piece of ice that no one could melt, but Xie Jingyuan, who was reincarnated with her, rarely showed that expression.

Xie Jingyuan looked at her, as if he was only looking at himself reflected in her eyes.

“I take care of you not because I treat you like a cat, but because you treat yourself like a cat, because you are too lazy to take care of yourself.”

“Xu Shou and Gu Jialing had learned things a long time ago. Only you, who have been doted on by your parents, have never learned it.”

“You are not a cat, and I am not a slave.”

“Starting tomorrow, do your own thing, and I won’t care about you anymore.”

After finishing the last sentence, Xie Jingyuan walked away expressionlessly.

Su Miaomiao froze in place until the sound of closing the door came from the entrance.

She looked at the door, then at her notebook.

So, was the Taoist master really not a cat slave?

The Taoist master really didn’t care about her anymore?
