Chapter 654 - 656: The Origin of the Name ’Milk Ball
Fortunately, the cat eagerly rubbed its head against Nangong Zhongli’s hand, showing affection and being completely unafraid of strangers.
"How could it be? It’s very well-behaved." Nangong Zhongli looked at Mimi, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
Qin Yi almost thought he was seeing things.
She lowered her head, her chestnut brown hair falling to both sides. When she smiled, there were two shallow dimples by her mouth, very sweet and beautiful.
He was almost mesmerized by the sight.
"Why is she so fat? White and round like a ball. How about calling her Milk Ball!" Nangong Zhongli looked at Mimi and said with a smile.
After speaking, he glanced at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi met her gaze, momentarily puzzled.
A few seconds later, he came back to his senses and laughed, "Milk... Milk Ball?"
"Yes? How about it?" Nangong Zhongli didn’t know why, but he suddenly took a special liking to this cat. Previously, he didn’t like small animals, thinking they shed hair.
"Milk... Milk Ball sounds good..." Qin Yi looked at the cat on Nangong Zhongli’s chest, but his gaze involuntarily fell on her chest.
Qin Yi noticed his strange look and instinctively lowered her head to glance at her own chest.
She suddenly realized that the name Milk Ball had been misunderstood...
Her eyes widened instantly, glaring at Qin Yi angrily: "You, you pervert!" She was furious, grabbing a pillow beside her and throwing it at him.
Qin Yi quickly dodged awkwardly.
"You still dare to avoid!" Nangong Zhongli shouted.
Milk Ball was so scared that she immediately ran to a corner, not understanding why this beautiful lady suddenly turned on her human servant.
However, sometimes she also found the human servant annoying, so it was good to have a beauty to teach him a lesson.
Milk Ball squatted in the corner, watching the scene excitedly.
Hearing the noise, Qin Yi quickly froze in place.
Nangong Zhongli grabbed another pillow and threw it at him.
This time, Qin Yi didn’t dodge but easily caught it with his hand.
Right after, another pillow came, which he also caught effortlessly and swiftly.
Indeed, he never dodged...
Nangong Zhongli: "..."
"You bastard! You..." She glared at him, her face changing instantly.
Qin Yi realized something and instinctively felt a chill down below.
In an instant, a peculiar blush flashed across his face.
"You... how long are you planning to stand in front of me naked!?" Qin Yi covered her eyes with one hand and screamed frantically.
Qin Yi hurriedly picked up the bath towel from the floor and wrapped it around himself: "I... I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to... I’ll go change right away..."
After saying that, he quickly rushed upstairs.
Soon after, he came back down, now dressed in a neat pair of trousers and a shirt. He had even tidied his hair, looking like his usual self again.
However, when he saw Nangong Zhongli, there was still some awkwardness on his face.
The atmosphere was a bit delicate.
Nangong Zhongli gave him a displeased look while holding Milk Ball and said, "I came to find you today because... there’s something I need your help with."
Qin Yi sat in front of her.
His gaze fell on Milk Ball, "Whatever it is, just say it. As long as I can help, I definitely will."
"This matter might not be a small one for you," Nangong Zhongli paused, looking at him: "I hope you can ask Nangong Yaoling to let Shaochen go."
Qin Yi heard this and stiffened.
He raised his eyes and met Nangong Zhongli’s gaze.
In his singularly shaped eyes, it was briefly unclear what emotions were present.
There was some complexity, some surprise, and a hint of subtle pain. It turned out...
