After Transmigrating As The Female Lead Of A Cruel Novel, I Raised a Big Shot Cat - Chapter 9

Although the forces under Bo Shuhan’s command were almost entirely based abroad, she was, after all, a talent highly valued by the nation’s top officials.

Despite the tight schedule, she managed to secure an appointment with a very famous psychiatrist.

After a full morning of examinations, the psychiatrist told Bo Shuhan with absolute certainty that she did not have any mental illness at all.

Though Bo Shuhan remained skeptical, it was already 2:00 PM only two to three hours away from dinner time.

Bo Shuhan didn’t plan on seeing a second expert, she decided to act as if she truly wasn’t mentally ill.

The atmosphere was heavy along the way. When she reached the bottom of the building, the thought of being “polluted” by that voice again made her hesitant to even press the button for the 27th floor.

However, Bo Shuhan was a woman of her word. Since she had promised Ji Qingyue to have dinner together tonight, she would definitely keep the appointment.

She pressed the button for the 27th floor, and as the elevator slowly ascended, Bo Shuhan took out a document and flipped through it. The title read: Detailed Symptoms of Delusional Disorder.

The elevator reached the 27th floor. To Bo Shuhan’s surprise as she stepped out, there was no sound in her ears today.

This discovery made her raise an eyebrow. Perhaps yesterday really was just a result of excessive pressure, causing some chaotic noises in her mind.

Recalling the offensive thoughts she’d had about Ji Qingyue in her head yesterday, Bo Shuhan felt a pang of guilt.

It made sense, how could a young girl living alone with an ugly cat possibly drive her crazy? She must have been too high-strung and ended up causing trouble for others.

While Bo Shuhan was busy self-hypnotizing, “Big Boss” (the cat) was currently basking in the sun with its belly exposed, fast asleep and completely unaware that its self from two years ago had just walked out of a psychiatric hospital.

Time flew by, and soon it was 5:00 PM.

Bo Shuhan took out the gift she had prepared and knocked on Ji Qingyue’s door.

Ji Qingyue, who was busy preparing dishes in the kitchen, heard the knock and hurried to open the door.

Bo Shuhan was still dressed in all black today. Her sharp, short hair framed her heroic facial features, making her look less gloomy and a bit more solemn.

Ji Qingyue froze awkwardly when she opened the door. She was currently wearing a Peppa Pig apron, holding a spatula, with her hair tossed up into a casual messy bun.

“Haha…” With a couple of awkward laughs, Ji Qingyue quickly stepped aside to invite her in and rushed back to the kitchen to put the spatula down.

How embarrassing!

A rosy flush quickly climbed up her fair face. Ji Qingyue didn’t usually drink tea or coffee, but for the sake of hosting a guest, she had specifically bought high-quality black tea, coffee, and green tea.

She poked her head out from the refrigerator and asked Bo Shuhan, who was sitting on the sofa, “Miss Bo, what would you like to drink? I have black tea, coffee, and green tea.”

Bo Shuhan was never picky about drinks. “Anything is fine.”

This response stumped Ji Qingyue. After debating back and forth, she finally placed the most expensive bottle of canned coffee in front of Bo Shuhan.

“I’m sorry, I don’t usually drink these things, so I just bought one at random. If you don’t like it, I can get you something else.”

Bo Shuhan acted quite polite after sitting down. “No need, this is fine.”

Perhaps to prove she really wasn’t picky, Bo Shuhan opened the coffee and took a sip.

Seeing this, Ji Qingyue said no more, only mentioning that there were still dishes on the stove before hurrying back to the kitchen.

Socializing with this big shot is so awkward!

Closing the kitchen door tightly to ensure the smoke and noise wouldn’t leak out, Ji Qingyue patted her cheeks, gave herself a “fighting” gesture, and began rapidly preparing the dishes.

After all, this woman was half a benefactor!

As the sun’s lingering warmth faded, “Big Boss” woke up slowly on the balcony.

As soon as it woke, it caught a familiar scent.

【Wait, why does this smell exactly like my favorite “Rose in the Woods” perfume?】

Bo Shuhan’s expression turned sharp. As she thought, either there was something wrong with this cat, or the cat was the key trigger for her “mental illness.”

Walking into the living room with leisurely little steps, Big Boss spotted its own past self sitting on the sofa.

【Oh, the ‘me’ from two years ago is here.】

“Meow.” It let out a gruff cry as a sign of respect to itself. Just as it was about to go see if there was anything good to eat, it suddenly felt a shadow loom over its head.

The feline warning system immediately kicked in. Its round black eyes instantly narrowed into slits. “Meow-wu!” The warning tone was unmistakable.

Instead of backing away, Bo Shuhan reached out and grabbed Big Boss by the scruff of its neck.

A normal cat usually goes limp when grabbed by the scruff, but Big Boss wasn’t a real cat, it had a human soul.

Seeing Bo Shuhan hoist it up directly in front of her face, Big Boss originally intended to give her a swipe of its claws to show her the “dark side of a cat’s heart.”

But…

【I can’t scratch her, I can’t scratch her! This is me from two years ago. If I scratch her and leave a scar or disable her, how am I supposed to chase my wife? My darling Qingyue won’t love me anymore!】

Bo Shuhan watched as the cat, which had been baring its claws just a second ago, suddenly became incredibly docile. She immediately grew suspicious.

As expected, there was definitely something wrong with this cat.

Holding the cat in her hand, Bo Shuhan glanced at the kitchen. Seeing that Ji Qingyue hadn’t noticed, she took the cat out onto the balcony.

Even the “Big Boss” (the cat) had never been to this balcony before; it was unexpectedly luxurious.

There was an open-air camping area, as well as a winter observation deck made of bulletproof glass. Bo Shuhan noted that the glass observation deck was furthest from the door and, without a hint of hesitation, walked toward it carrying the cat.

Although Big Boss knew she wasn’t some kind of pervert, she couldn’t help but wonder, what if! What if the “self” of this world wasn’t actually her!

【Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! What the hell is this person trying to do?! No way, no way… is someone actually going to assault a kitten?! Was I really a pervert two years ago? No, no, no! This person is not the me from two years ago!】

Hearing the desperate wails in that voice, Bo Shuhan almost let her hand slip and tossed the cat over the railing.

Fortunately, she restrained herself.

After locking the glass door tightly to ensure the kitten couldn’t escape, Bo Shuhan stared at the cat and asked her first question: “Who exactly are you?”

Big Boss tilted its head and looked at Bo Shuhan in confusion. 【No way, was I really a pervert two years ago, or maybe a paranoid schizophrenic? She’s actually trying to talk to a cat, what is she thinking?!】

Big Boss began to doubt its past self, and a vein throbbed in Bo Shuhan’s temple.

If it weren’t for the countless surgical scars on this cat’s body, Bo Shuhan would have already lost her patience.

“I can understand what you’re saying,” Bo Shuhan stated.

Big Boss didn’t believe her.

“Yesterday, as soon as you arrived, you started babbling about wanting to sleep with Ji Qingyue, wanting kisses and hugs, and then you said it felt ‘so good’ when she touched you,” Bo Shuhan recited with a straight face.

Big Boss froze completely.

It could accept saying shameful things in the depths of its heart, but if those thoughts were known by someone else, it was nothing short of a massive social suicide.

“And you also said I am the ‘you’ from two years ago, that you come from two years in the future, and that if you could transform into a human, your aura would be a hundred times stronger than mine.”

Bo Shuhan repeated a few of the more memorable lines. She then watched as the cat in front of her covered its face with its paws, looking utterly overwhelmed with shame and a desire to die.

Seeing this, Bo Shuhan smiled.

【Are you a freaking demon?!】

Bo Shuhan replied, “Someone simply had unclean thoughts and is now reaping what they sowed.” Her voice carried an upward lilt of amusement, and her eyes made no attempt to hide her delight.

After having her brain flooded with so much “trash talk” yesterday, she wouldn’t be Bo Shuhan if she didn’t get her revenge today.

Big Boss knew it was that kind of person anyway, so it stopped caring once the initial shame passed.

It must be said, the Bo Shuhan of two years later had a very thick skin.

The next second, Big Boss became much more serious. 【Since you can understand me, then I hope you won’t cooperate with Ye Sishen.】

“Because of Ji Qingyue?” Bo Shuhan’s brow furrowed.

While Ye Sishen’s character was questionable, he was indeed the most suitable partner domestically.

Big Boss shook its head. 【Do you really think I would let a woman influence the family’s plans?】

Looking at the cat’s “serious face,” Bo Shuhan nodded without hesitation. You’ve turned into such a simp, and you expect me to believe you wouldn’t be blinded by lust?

Big Boss’s composure shattered instantly. 【You dog, get lost!】

Bo Shuhan: “Tomorrow, I’ll find a male cat to breed with you.”

Big Boss: !!!

【Do you have to be so cruel? I’m you from two years in the future!】

“Say one more word.”

【You do…】

Gazing into Bo Shuhan’s increasingly cold eyes, Big Boss eventually shrunk its neck. 【I’m a big cat and won’t hold a grudge against a small person. Let’s continue.】

【Actually, there are many things about the world two years later that I don’t remember clearly, but I remember this: in one year, Ye Sishen’s power abroad will grow extremely fast, and he intends to swallow the Bo family.】

This answer made Bo Shuhan frown. “There shouldn’t be any conflict between us.”

【There is….Ji Qingyue.】

Bo Shuhan narrowed her eyes. “Going to those lengths over a woman?”

Big Boss shook its head. 【In my past life, Ji Qingyue and I didn’t officially meet until a year later. By then, the Ye family’s influence abroad was already massive. Ji Qingyue and I teamed up to deal with the Ye family, but we weren’t successful.】

“Oh? She reached the point where she could cooperate with the Bo family? It seems she truly is exceptional.”

This statement surprised Big Boss. 【You didn’t even doubt it?】

“Why should I? Ji Qingyue is an outstanding person to begin with.” Thinking back to their chance encounter at the airport, Bo Shuhan’s tone softened slightly. “I always thought the women of the Dragon Kingdom were mostly fragile, but that day at the airport, Ji Qingyue showed me the unyielding spirit of a woman.”

“A person like that will never be content to stay in the inner quarters. As long as she is given the opportunity, she will surely soar to great heights.”

“So, I have never doubted that Ji Qingyue is an extraordinary person.” After saying this, Bo Shuhan was about to ask more about what happened in the next two years.

But before she could speak, a woman’s charming voice came from behind them:

“So, I’m actually that exceptional in Miss Bo’s heart?”
