By the time they went over after finishing their meal, the mother Cat had already given birth.

She had given birth to four kittens in total.

The eldest was a little male kitten with golden stripes;

The second was a female kitten with a golden back and a silver belly;

The third was also a female kitten with golden stripes on its back, but with a patch of white fur on its flank;

The fourth was a little male kitten with mixed fur colors and a white patch on its head.

The veterinarian left as soon as the delivery was over.

The mother Cat couldn't be bathed right after giving birth, so they just wiped it down with wet wipes.

Right now, the six of them, including Chen Cheng, were gathered around the blanket they had laid out, watching the kittens nurse.

Ye Zhenzhen watched for a while, then turned to look at Chen Cheng, "They've been born in your house now, are you going to keep them?"

"If you don't want to keep them, I'll ask my students to see if any of them are willing to adopt them."

Lin Miaomiao blinked, turned to look at him with hopeful eyes, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother Cheng~"

Chen Cheng curled his lips in annoyance, "Ask Eleven to check; what if it's the neighbor's Cat?"

"If nobody really wants them, then we'll keep them."

Chen Cheng had never thought about keeping pets; he really didn't have the time.

Besides, what's the point of keeping a pet if you're not the one raising it?

But since they had been delivered to his doorstep, there was no reason to throw them out.

As long as they weren't the neighbor's, he might as well keep them; he wasn't short on the money for Cat food.

Ye Zhenzhen pouted, seeing Chen Cheng's reluctance.

"Yay! Yay!" Only Lin Miaomiao was dancing with joy, "I'll go ask right now."

Chen Cheng watched Lin Miaomiao run out, his mouth twitching; she was a true Cat lover.

"Miao Miao, wait, I'll go with you."

Ye Zhenzhen huffed at Chen Cheng and got up to follow her.

Lucy, Zhu Zhe, and Deng Xiaoqi looked at each other, but Chen Cheng didn't mind.

He was already used to Ye Zhenzhen's personality.

As long as it didn't involve her core interests, Ye Zhenzhen would act very philanthropic and tolerant toward everyone.

It was just like with He Minhong; even though "Saint" Hong was always causing trouble and it was a bit annoying, Ye Zhenzhen would still be very enthusiastic whenever she could help.

It was the same for the kittens now.

Right now, Ye Zhenzhen was unhappy with Chen Cheng's indifferent attitude.

Chen Cheng didn't care.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions; besides, he was the one providing the money and the space.

Chen Cheng looked at the big orange Cat, which was full and licking the fur of the nursing kittens, raised an eyebrow, smiled, and said to it:

"You're quite good at picking places."

"Did you pick out my big yard from the very beginning?"

This western-style house of Chen Cheng's was much larger than the one on Fuxing Road, covering over 1,400 square meters, with the building itself occupying only about 300 square meters, and the rest was all yard.

The big orange Cat seemed to turn a deaf ear, only concerned with licking the kittens.

Not long after, before Deng Xiaoqi and Lin Miaomiao had even returned, Zou Yu and Li Na actually arrived.

And they were carrying a large box.

Chen Cheng looked at the two of them, "What's this?"

Zou Yu lifted her fair chin, "Isn't this a housewarming? A gift for you."

"Sister Lucy," she turned her head and greeted Lucy with a smile.

Lucy waved with a smile, "Xiao Yu~"

Not just Zhu Zhe, but even Chen Cheng was bewildered by how 'familiar' they seemed with each other.

Meanwhile, Deng Xiaoqi was looking at Zou Yu with great vigilance.

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, walked over, examined the large box on the floor, and asked Li Na:

"What did you buy?"

Li Na smiled brightly, "Why don't you open it and see for yourself?"

Chen Cheng pouted and called out to Aunt Qiu, who was preparing tea for the two of them in the kitchen, "Aunt Qiu, please bring me some scissors."

"Coming~"

Seeing all these beautiful girls today, Yi Qiu's mother probably understood a bit about what that non-disclosure agreement she signed earlier meant.

Still, this Xiao Cheng was quite something.

With so many beautiful girls, he was actually able to make them get along harmoniously.

Chen Cheng took the scissors and opened the cardboard box, only to find another cardboard box inside.

He then realized that there had been an original packaging box, but the two of them, wanting to surprise him, had deliberately found a box without any logos and wrapped it over the original packaging.

Chen Cheng was amused by the two of them and complained, "You two are quite bored."

After opening the first layer, Chen Cheng could already see the pattern on the box inside.

It was a Bluetooth speaker, a Beosound A9 from B&O.

This item had been very popular over the last two years; it looked good and had decent sound quality.

Chen Cheng complained verbally, but he was actually quite happy inside.

While unpacking, he teased Zou Yu and Li Na, "Two people buying one speaker?"

Zou Yu lifted her chin and chuckled, "There's also a vinyl record player."

"The people from the record store will deliver it in a while."

As she spoke, she winked at Li Na, as if to say, "See? I was right about what we said on the way here."

On the way here, the two of them had discussed that since they were bringing one item together, the shameless Chen Cheng would definitely ask directly.

As it turned out, Zou Yu had guessed correctly.

Several people helped Aunt Qiu clean up the packaging boxes.

Chen Cheng assembled it and placed it in the corner of the living room.

Just then, Ye Zhenzhen and Lin Miaomiao returned.

The two of them hadn't just asked the neighbors.

Ye Zhenzhen had also driven to the pet store and bought a heated Cat bed, Cat food, small snacks, Cat litter, a feeder, a water fountain, and toys.

They even bought two Cat beds, one as a small enclosed house and the other as a round, basket-shaped Cat bed.

They helped the mother Cat move into its new home.

The fact that the two of them went to buy these things clearly meant no neighbor had claimed the Cats.

Adhering to the principle of "he who hesitates is lost," the two of them quickly procured the adoption supplies.

The Cat bed was placed in the corner of the living room against the glass sliding door.

They filled the feeder with Cat food, but Lin Miaomiao, worried that the mother Cat wouldn't know how to use it, went to the kitchen, found a takeout container, and put some more Cat food in it for the big orange Cat.

After finishing all this, they sprawled out on the sofa and started thinking of names for the Cats.

Lin Miaomiao: "How about we call the mother Cat Orange?"

No one else had any objections to this name.

Ye Zhenzhen blinked, "Let's call the eldest Dandan; the day before yesterday was Christmas, and in two days it will be New Year's Day."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they nodded quickly, "That's a good name."

Chen Cheng glanced at Lin Miaomiao, "Then the little sister can be called Cat!"

The women all looked at him in confusion.

Chen Cheng smiled and shrugged, "Miao Miao is so invested in this, it's reasonable to give it a name that sounds like hers, right?"

"Miao Miao, Cat, they are both MM."

"We can't call it Meow Meow, that's practically not having a name. Nowadays, whenever people see a kitten, don't they just go around shouting 'meow, meow'?"

"Cat, Cat," Lin Miaomiao repeated it a few times, then nodded in agreement, "I think it's pretty good too, hee hee~"

Chen Cheng made the final decision, "Then the little sister will be called Cat."

Deng Xiaoqi looked at Chen Cheng, her little brain turning fast, and she blinked, "Brother Cheng, how about we call the smallest one Yao Yao?"

"Because it's the smallest."

Chen Cheng nodded in agreement without thinking, "Fine, then it'll be called Yao Yao."

After naming them, everyone sat on the sofa feeling a bit bored.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Chen Cheng, who was playing on his phone, a mischievous smile appearing on the corner of her mouth, and she kicked Chen Cheng's leg.

"Why don't you invite all your... 'friends' over and we can have a barbecue party?"
