My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 209

Chapter 209
“Mmm, it looks like you’ve tidied up well.”
Meng Yue nodded with satisfaction, glancing at her beloved daughter and then at the tidy room.
Besides cleaning, she had also changed the bedding to a new set, and even Meng Yue couldn’t find fault with anything.
“Alright, you two tidy up your own things first. We have to go out later.”
After inspecting the room, Meng Yue turned around and came to her darling daughter, stroking her cute little head as she spoke.
“I’m entrusting my daughter to you, make sure to take good care of her.”
Walking around her beloved daughter, Meng Yue arrived in front of Ye Ziming. She put away her smile and looked seriously into his eyes as she spoke.
It was a somewhat helpless outcome. If she had a choice, she definitely wouldn’t send her precious daughter, who had finally returned home, away.
But given the current situation, it seemed she couldn’t choose.
Just now, her three sons had only said a few words, and her daughter had immediately stepped forward, strongly displaying a protective stance.
Another reason was that she had practically watched Ye Ziming grow up, and she knew his temperament very well and approved of it.
It was also thanks to him; if it were anyone else, she would definitely tear them apart!
“I will.”
As if participating in some sacred handover ceremony, Ye Ziming also put away his smile and replied seriously to his mother-in-law before him.
This handover ceremony was very short, lasting only a few seconds. Then Meng Yue smiled and nodded, walking out of the room.
“Meow meow meow?”
The voices of her good brother and mother were very soft, Xiaomuqing didn’t catch what they said and felt they were very strange.
Her heart was full of confusion; she felt like an outsider.
“What did Mother say to you just now?”
After watching her mother leave the room, Xiaomuqing walked up to her good brother and asked with great confusion.
“She said you look cute in dresses and want to buy you a few more sets.”
Ye Ziming replied softly, with a hint of slyness in his smile.
“Really?”
Xiaomuqing was shocked.
“Maybe, you can go ask.”
He shrugged slightly, with a look of uncertainty, and then raised his eyebrows slightly as he spoke, his smile somewhat subtle.
“Sigh! Don’t.”
Xiaomuqing felt it was too much to bear; she really didn’t want to wear dresses anymore!
There was a commotion in the room. Xiaomuqing nervously held Ye Ziming’s hand, her face tense as she sought his help.
Ye Ziming felt a bit embarrassed and at the same time, expressed that he had no solution, after all, it was he who actually wanted to buy her dresses.
However, what he didn’t expect was that a casual joke he made happened to echo Meng Yue’s true feelings.
She thought her precious daughter looked particularly cute in a small dress and had wanted to buy her some pretty dresses for a long time.
Coincidentally, Li Muning invited her to go shopping, saying she would select some nice clothes for the two of them to wear at the banquet.
Now was the perfect time, so Meng Yue readily accepted the invitation, and also planned to buy ‘a few’ pretty clothes for her darling daughter.
“Mom! Aren’t you going to say something about your sister!”
Outside the room, as Meng Yue just walked out, she bumped into her youngest son, Lin Qiwen, who was clearly very displeased.
“Say what? Come with me.”
Exhibiting her authority as a mother, she glared at her other two sons who were opening their mouths to speak and waved them over.
It seemed like Meng Yue was on the first level, and her sons were on the second. They thought her actions were not good, but in reality, Meng Yue was on the fifth level.
She briefly explained to her three sons why Ye Ziming had helped Xiaomuqing so much and asked them to adjust their attitudes.
While it seemed like she was speaking up for Ye Ziming, she was actually showing her sons a path. If they wanted to build a good relationship with their sister, they shouldn’t go against her future brother-in-law.
If there was a conflict between the two sides, Meng Yue could guarantee that her precious daughter would stand with her son-in-law.
“Adjust your attitudes. If it weren’t for him, you might not even have this sister.”
Having finished speaking, Meng Yue said her last sentence and turned to leave the room, leaving her three sons to ponder on their own.
In fact, they understood the logic and knew that Ye Ziming was a unique and special existence to their sister.
But they still felt unhappy. Their beloved sister was being “snatched away” by an outsider right in front of them. Which brother could handle that?
…
After some time, they helped each other pack their belongings and quickly finished organizing everything.
Although there was only one wardrobe, it was large enough to hold the clothes of two people (scratch that)… it could fit them.
After finishing, Xiaomuqing suddenly turned around and saw several gift boxes placed on the table. These were the meet-and-greet gifts from her brothers.
At the time, she didn’t acknowledge their strange relationship, so she hadn’t opened the gifts. Now, it was useless for her to refuse.
Because she was already their sister by blood.
“Boss! What are you doing!?”
Just as she walked to the table and was about to open the gifts, she suddenly discovered a scene that surprised her.
Her good brother was squatting in front of the wardrobe, rummaging through the drawer specifically for her panties!
“What do you think?”
Facing Xiaomuqing’s agitated reaction, Ye Ziming remained very calm and continued to rummage through the pile of ridiculously cute panties.
Then, as Xiaomuqing rushed over, trying to stop him, he took out a packet of small biscuits from the drawer.
At that moment, Xiaomuqing froze because of the small biscuits Ye Ziming was holding.
“A little cat who steals snacks gets spanked, you know.”
Ye Ziming narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiaomuqing with a meaningful smile, saying softly.
When he was tidying up at the Ye family villa earlier, he had his back to the little cat for a long time. She must have committed the crime then.
Coincidentally, as he was leaving the Ye family, he thought about bringing that pile of small biscuits with him to satisfy the little cat’s cravings later.
Then he saw that one packet was missing.
“Spank… spanked?”
Upon hearing these three words, Xiaomuqing quickly covered her butt with both hands and took two steps back in a panic.
It seemed like… she was a little inexplicably excited…
In fact, Ye Ziming was just joking and didn’t really intend to spank Xiaomuqing’s little butt, although the feel was indeed good.
But seeing her flushed little face and her cute reaction of covering her butt with her hands, he suddenly felt that it would be a bit unfair to Xiaomuqing if he didn’t spank her a couple of times.
So, should he spank her or not?
…
After tidying up the room, the two of them walked out together and were taken by Lin Cong and Meng Yue to the relevant department to handle the household registration book.
The process of getting this document was slightly different from getting an ID card. There wasn’t always staff available on duty.
Generally, one would book an appointment and then prepare all the necessary materials.
The Lin family happened to have some connections, so their appointment time could be shortened, meaning they could handle it that afternoon.
