Holy Crap! My Cat is Actually a Female CEO?!

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Missed? Xiaobai Is Really Missing

Flipping on the bedroom light, Gu Yizhou found the room completely empty. Let alone a cat, he couldn’t even find a single cat hair.

Speaking of which, Gu Yizhou had always found that strange. Everyone said that cats shed a lot, but he’d never seen his Xiaobai shed at all.

Uh...

’This isn’t the time to be thinking about that.’

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou searched the entire bedroom and confirmed that Xiaobai wasn’t there.

After a moment’s thought, he walked over to the sofa in the living room and crouched down to look, but there was still no sign of Xiaobai.

’Looks like that little rascal Xiaobai snuck out again while I was gone!’

Gu Yizhou frowned, a look of resignation on his face.

This wasn’t the first time Xiaobai had snuck out, but Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but worry.

’After all, it’s so late and cold out. What on earth did that silly little cat run off to do?’

’Could there really be another cat outside?’

The thought popped into Gu Yizhou’s head.

After some thought, he decided to go downstairs and check the complex grounds to see if he could find that mischievous little rascal.

He had to do something; otherwise, his conscience wouldn’t let him rest.

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou stood up, grabbed his phone and keys, put on his shoes, and left.

The streetlights in the residential complex were on. Gu Yizhou pulled his collar tighter against the cold and started searching the community garden.

...

Meanwhile, in her villa, Yan Luoxi couldn’t calm down. She kept wondering if Gu Yizhou would be out looking for her everywhere, just like he had before.

As she tried to focus on her documents, her mind kept replaying the image of Gu Yizhou in the community garden, his face anxious and covered in sweat as he searched for her.

’Maybe... I should go back and check on him?’

’But... I’m in my human form right now. Even if I go back, he won’t know I’m Xiaobai!’

Yan Luoxi felt conflicted. In a fit of frustration, she tossed the documents onto her desk.

She was torn, not knowing whether to go back or stay.

’If I go back... I can’t even turn back into a cat right now!’

’But if I don’t go back, I’m worried that damn idiot Gu Yizhou will run down and look for me in this freezing weather.’

The thought of that damn man catching a cold while looking for her in this freezing weather made Yan Luoxi’s heart soften.

After hesitating for a while,

"Damn man, I guess I’m in your debt for this lifetime!"

Yan Luoxi got up, still grumbling.

With that, she walked into her bedroom’s walk-in closet, changed her clothes, grabbed her phone and car keys, and headed out the door!

...

"Xiaobai, where on earth did that little guy run off to?"

Gu Yizhou muttered to himself in the community garden, using his phone’s flashlight to scan the flowerbeds.

He’d noticed a pattern: whenever he wasn’t home at night, Xiaobai was guaranteed to sneak out.

’Does this mean I’ll have to take her with me every time I go out at night from now on?’

’Seriously... I’ve never seen a pet cat that loves to sneak out this much.’

For a moment, Gu Yizhou was at a loss for words.

After searching the entire community garden, Gu Yizhou hadn’t seen a single mouse, let alone a cat.

’It makes sense, I guess. It’s so cold, even the mice probably don’t want to come out and forage for food.’

Gu Yizhou decided to give up.

Although he was still worried about Xiaobai’s safety, he felt a bit better remembering how she’d run off at night before, only to return on her own the next day.

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou turned off his phone’s flashlight and headed back upstairs to his building.

Just as he was heading upstairs,

A flashy red Ferrari sports car pulled in through the main gate of the complex.

After finding an empty spot and parking,

Yan Luoxi got out.

She took out her phone and started searching the community garden.

Since it was late and the weather was cold, the complex was completely deserted.

’Could it be... that damn man isn’t back yet?’

Yan Luoxi frowned at the thought.

After a moment’s thought, she turned and walked toward Gu Yizhou’s apartment building.

Instead of going upstairs, Yan Luoxi circled around to the back of the building. From there, she could see apartment 305.

When she looked up and saw the lights on in apartment 305, Yan Luoxi was rendered speechless!

’The lights are on, which means that damn man is home!’

’That damn man realized I was missing and he’s not the least bit worried? He didn’t even come down to look for me?’

’Could it be those two women are in his apartment, and he’s too busy getting all lovey-dovey with them to even notice I’m gone?’

Yan Luoxi’s anger flared!

She felt like she had worried about him for nothing!

’But then again... what if that damn man just got home and hasn’t realized I’m gone yet?’

’Maybe...? I should wait a bit longer and see if he comes down to look for me?’

Yan Luoxi tried to reassure herself.

So, she rubbed her hands together for warmth, pulled her collar tighter, and started waiting downstairs.

...

「Ten minutes later.」

The lights in apartment 305 were still on, but there was no sign of Gu Yizhou coming down!

The hopeful expression on Yan Luoxi’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a dark scowl.

"Fine!"

"Just fine!"

"Damn man, you are so done!"

Yan Luoxi was about to explode. She sniffled, gritting her teeth as she said, "If I ever worry about you or give a damn about you again, then I’ll be damned!"

She stomped her foot, turned on her heel in a rage, and stormed off!

At that moment, she wanted nothing more to do with that damn man, Gu Yizhou!

’It’d be for the best if I never turn back into a cat again,’ she thought. ’I never want to come back to this home!’

The more Yan Luoxi thought about it, the angrier she became. Once in her car, she started the engine, slammed her foot on the gas, and sped away without a single look back...

...

Back in apartment 305, Gu Yizhou had just finished showering and stepped out of the bathroom.

He instinctively glanced toward the living room sofa. The spot where his cat usually slept was still empty.

His brow was furrowed, a clear sign that he was not in a good mood.

Still not ready to give up, he searched through all the cabinets in the apartment one more time, but there was still no sign of Xiaobai.

This time, Gu Yizhou truly lost hope.

"Xiaobai, you really are making your old man worry himself sick," he said, shaking his head in resignation.

Early the next morning, Gu Yizhou woke up.

The first thing he did upon waking was look at the spot beside him.

Normally, Xiaobai would be lying there.

But there was still no sign of Xiaobai.

He didn’t linger in bed. Gu Yizhou got right up, hoping that when he opened his bedroom door, he would see Xiaobai curled up on the sofa, watching him.

That would make his day.

But it was not to be.

After getting dressed, he opened his bedroom door to a silent living room. There was no sign of a cat on the sofa.

Everything in the living room was exactly as it had been the night before...
