She tiptoed to the door of the other person's bedroom.

She gently pushed the doorknob down, and as she expected, Xia Yuan had locked the door from the inside. But that didn't stump her. It was just a lock. She skillfully stuck her long, thin tail into the lock, stirred it around a few times, and a crisp click echoed in her ears. A crack in the door appeared before Padofelis's eyes.

Padoflis stormed into the bedroom with an air of self-righteousness, completely ignoring Xia Yuan's surprised expression.

"Padau, why did you barge in without even knocking?" He locked the door to prevent Bronya, Mei, and Rita from coming at the same time, but this little money cat ruined his plan.

She didn't respond to him, but instead searched around the room for something.

Although the bedroom was filled with the aroma of roast chicken, the roast chicken had vanished without a trace. Could it have grown wings and run away?

"Pado, what are you looking for?"

He had already guessed why the little glutton had come here, but he pretended not to know anything.

"Brother Xia Yuan, tell me honestly, where did that plate of roast chicken you brought go?" She couldn't find it anywhere, so she put her hands on her hips and questioned him righteously. She had tried so hard, what's wrong with eating a plate of roast chicken!

Xia Yuan pointed to the trash can next to him.

Seeing that there was only a pile of bones left in the trash can, Xiao Paduo's anger instantly turned into shock and confusion. "Brother Xia Yuan... you actually ate all the food by yourself, and you didn't leave us a single chicken leg."

"Actually, there are still some chicken tips left."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! We don't want to eat chicken butts!"

Padofelis's voice trembled slightly with grievance. Xia Yuan had eaten so cleanly; it was obvious he was wary of her.

Xia Yuan watched the other person's performance intently.

"Padre, can you tell me why you didn't come back from the mine with Miss Hei hope? What were you doing all by yourself, sneaking off somewhere? Did you secretly hide some crystal somewhere?"

"Brother Xia Yuan, you're slandering me!"

Padofelis's eyes welled up with tears. She felt extremely guilty. She had concealed it very well, so how did Xia Yuan know? She decided to continue playing the emotional card.

Chapter 768 A Chance Encounter!

If the hard approach doesn't work, let's try the soft approach!

“We’ve worked hard these past few days without complaint. Even if we haven’t done anything great, we’ve still put in the effort. Besides, we’re carrying your child, Brother Xia Yuan, and the baby needs nutrition too. You can’t bear to let us go hungry right now, can you?”

"Pado, you're right. How could I let the child in your belly go hungry along with you?"

Seeing that Xia Yuan's voice had softened.

Padofelis was secretly delighted, knowing her plan had succeeded. She discreetly observed Xia Yuan, watching his every move, and eagerly anticipated that he would get up soon and prepare a sumptuous roast chicken feast for her.

If Xia Yuan were to rush to the kitchen right now and prepare a sumptuous dinner for her, she would reluctantly forgive him.

"Yes, very good!"

Xia Yuan had already gotten out of bed, and she knew he couldn't bear to see her unborn child go hungry.

Little Paddy couldn't hold back her tears. She planned to take a nap in Xia Yuan's bed first, and when she woke up, she wanted to see him carefully feeding her a plate of roast chicken and chicken soup by the bedside. Hehe.

But just as Padofelis was about to crawl into the other person's bed.

She suddenly felt her wrist being pulled, and Xia Yuan's voice rang in her ear, tinged with a hint of teasing and gentleness, "Pado, you're very hungry right now, aren't you?"

"Yes...no?!"

Padofelis panicked, realizing that she seemed to have fallen into Xia Yuan's trap.

Feeling Xia Yuan wrap his arms around her waist, Phyllis realized the magnitude of her mistake. She instinctively tried to stand up, but he pulled her into the bed first, treating her like a beloved pillow.

"Brother Xia... Xia Yuan, I... I suddenly don't seem so hungry anymore, let's leave now!"

"No, we can't let the child go hungry."

As she felt herself being lifted up, her face gradually became hot.

"Wait, Brother Xia Yuan, this isn't the kind of roast chicken we want!" Padofelis was on the verge of tears, but her protest had no positive effect.

Not only did Padrephilis miss out on dinner, she also got herself killed, and from then on, she developed a phobia of roast chicken.

Half an hour later—

Little Paddo got what she wanted.

"Are you full?"

However, Padofelis did not respond immediately. She seemed exhausted, her hands clinging to Xia Yuan's chest, panting heavily, tears occasionally dripping from the corners of her mouth. "Brother Xia Yuan, you've really gone too far! We're going to tell Sister Aili when we get back that you bullied us!" She decided to go and tell Sister Aili to help her get justice.

"Hmm? Looks like you're still not full. How about another plate?"

Startled, Little Paddy turned pale and quickly corrected herself, saying, "I'm full, we're already full."

Compared to before, she was indeed not hungry now, and even felt a bit full. But who feeds someone like that? The night raid she launched a few days ago was just to get Brother Xia Yuan to let her into the mine.

But right now, it's as if she's the one who's actively asking the other party for it.

Xia Yuan was still inside her, and just as she was about to ask him to take out the big chicken leg, Mei's voice came from outside the door.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, are you already resting?"

"Ya...Sister Mei?!"

Since Airi regained her original body, the other heroes have also regained their memories related to Mei.

"Brother Xia Yuan, what should we do? What should we do? We can't let Sister Mei see us like this!" In the past, she would sneak up to the second-floor balcony in the early morning when no one was around.

"Who told you, Pado, to pry open the door and not lock it?"

"We know we were wrong, right?"

It was probably too late for Little Pado to escape from the balcony now. He calmly covered Pado Phyllis under the covers, patted Phyllis's still sticking-out little bottom to make her flatten it, and then looked calmly at Bronya and Mei who walked in.

Bronya came along on her own initiative.

She didn't want her sister Mei to beat her to it. Of course, she was currently wary of Rita, while Mei was more of a competitor.

Look around.

There was no trace of Rita. Good. It seems she and Mei beat that wicked maid to it. But little did they know that a little cat had already secretly hidden under the covers.

Bronya's steps were light and quick.

Her goals for tonight were very clear: besides guarding against a certain philandering maid, she also wanted to play a few games with her foolish subordinate.

Ever since she gained weight and started training with Mei, she hasn't had a proper chance to play games with her clueless subordinates. Not only does she use them as punching bags, but her love for games has only grown stronger, though sometimes she needs a few game partners.

She wanted to regain the face she had lost in front of her foolish subordinate.

"Mei, how about playing a few games with me? The winner gets to enjoy the company of your stupid subordinate first."

She handed the handle to the other person.

She made a condition that was impossible to refuse, and she was sure that her older sister Mei would agree to it in front of her foolish subordinate.

"it is good."

The two sat on the edge of the bed, watching Padofelis's tail suddenly stand up under the covers, which made Xia Yuan nervous, but he couldn't give her any hints, just as Bronya and Mei were preparing to have a showdown in the game.

Mei felt as if she was sitting on something pointed.

Recalling that Mr. Xia Yuan was still in bed, she glanced behind her with a dazed look, but this glance reminded Mei that her body would instinctively stiffen in an instant.

Mr. Xia Yuan was so far away from her at the head of the bed that it was impossible for him to bump into her.

So what might be under the covers where she's sitting right now?

There are no airtight walls in the world, and the same goes for a bed. She quickly got up and lifted the covers. Through the light from above the bedroom, she could clearly see a strand of brown hair peeking out from under the covers, as well as a tail swaying back and forth and standing upright.

"Pado?"

Mei's voice carried a hint of surprise and shyness. At first, she mistook it for Mr. Xia Yuan. Who knew that there was such a little kitten hiding in the quilt, getting ahead of her and Bronya.

"Hi, Mei-nee~"

Padofelis's face instantly turned bright red.

She awkwardly greeted Mei-nee, her eyes filled with a hint of panic. She hadn't expected to be discovered by Mei-nee so quickly, let alone in this way. It was all because of her useless tail.

Chapter 769 Sending Bitter Melon to His Excellency the Bishop

Why did it have to stand up of itself? Why not earlier or later?

Padoflis scolded her tail for being so useless, especially since it had bumped into Mei in Xia Yuan's bed, which made Padof feel a strange sense of shame.

Mei's gaze shifted between Padofelis and Mr. Xia Yuan, both of whom were in bed.

Finally, the focus settled on the kitten that had sneaked in. "Pado, did you get lost and just wander into Mr. Xia Yuan's bed without even realizing it?"

Her voice carried a hint of teasing.

Phyllis's face showed a hint of embarrassment. Who knew that Mei would come at this time? Her attention had been completely drawn to the roast chicken that Xia Yuan was carrying.

"We...we..."

She seemed to be trying to find a suitable explanation, but her little mind was completely blank and not enough. In the end, she looked at Xia Yuan with a pleading look. Xia Yuan gave a wry smile. Why didn't you do this earlier? Now you know to ask him for help.

But the current situation is difficult to explain.

Xia Yuan gently patted Padofelis's shoulder, signaling her to remain calm.

“Mei, Yaya, you’ve misunderstood. Pado was just hungry. She happened to see me carrying a plate of roast chicken into the house, and she was attracted by the aroma. She just came looking for something to eat.”

A hint of gratitude appeared on Padofelis's shy face. She knew that Xia Yuan was already trying his best to protect her self-esteem.

She nodded quickly, completely agreeing with Xia Yuan's statement.

"That's right, Mei... Mei-nee, that's it. I... I just accidentally got a craving. If you don't believe me, look in the trash can, there are still some chicken bones we left over, hehe~"

Padofelis scratched the back of her head. Now, she really had become a little cat who had stolen some fish, but she hadn't gotten anything in return.

Mei smiled, seeing through it but not saying anything.

"Oh, I see. Pado, if you get hungry in the future, you can tell your Mei-nee."

But Bronya's eyes still held a hint of doubt.

The more she looked at the other person, the more she felt that he was just a little cat sneaking around while they were away. Why would she need to hide in her stupid subordinate's bed just to have a meal? She clearly had something to hide from. She seemed to want to find more clues, but Mei invited her to continue playing games at this moment.

She glared at Mei with displeasure.

The other party got all the good things, and she ended up being the unreasonable and troublesome one.

No way! No matter what, I have to give that Mei-neechan a good beating in the game today and teach her a lesson. This family isn't just hers to call the shots.

Unsurprisingly.

Bronya easily defeated Mei with her gaming skills and then swaggered over to her, carrying her silly subordinate.

As for Little Paddo~

The moment Mei found him in bed, he tucked his tail between his legs and slunk away.

She dared not linger by Xia Yuan's side any longer. The smile on Mei's lips likely indicated that she had already discovered something. Moreover, she still needed to digest the food in her stomach.

But that doesn't mean she won't go and tattle on Ellie.

early morning--

Sunlight filtered through the morning mist, illuminating the three people lying in bed.

He rested his head on Mei's fragrant shoulder. Bronya always kicked off the covers at night, and after kicking them off, she liked to hug him as if he were her blanket. She was exhausted by him all night, but it was obviously not him who was exhausted, but the two ladies who were still dreaming.

He has a special task today.

That was to go with Durandal to deliver the bitter melons that had been planted yesterday to His Holiness the Bishop.

Just as he pushed open the bedroom door to go wash up, he bumped into a broad chest. Instead of pushing him away, the other person embraced him.

Xia Yuan finally managed to lift his head.

But he found Rita smiling at him. As if after yesterday's experience, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye was even more charming.

"Rita, what are you doing at the door?"

"Of course, it's to serve you, Mr. Xia Yuan. Bronya and Ms. Mei were both here last night, and Rita didn't dare to disturb them, so she could only wait at the door for you to wake up."

"Narita, didn't you get any rest all night?" A hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"Of course not. In order to better serve you, Mr. Xia Yuan, Rita must always be in the best condition. Rita just heard the noise when you got up, so she rushed to the door ahead of time."

With Rita's meticulous care, he truly experienced the joy of being a farmer.

Especially lying on the other person's lap, enjoying the process of having their ears cleaned, the feeling was simply too comfortable. Even if Bronya wanted to get rid of the maid in the future, he would not agree. Family members should get along harmoniously.
