"Wah!"
Unable to watch any longer, Leander grabbed Mao by the back of his collar and marched straight into the house.
Lian and the twins blinked in confusion, but Qiong Xing laughed and followed after them.
By the time they entered, Mao had already been dropped onto the sofa with a thud.
"Lian, you should join the conversation too. And afterward, we'll have a snack."
"...Why is the kitty here?"
Unlike the twins, who had spent several days with Mao and sat down without hesitation, Lian remained glued to Qiong Xing's back, staring warily at Mao.
Qiong Xing reassured her and settled her onto his lap.
"Starting today, Mao will be living with us again."
"Huh..."
The expression on Lian's face made it obvious that she was not pleased.
Qiong Xing smiled wryly.
"Do you dislike Mao, Lian?"
".....He's scary."
Mao had never actually scratched or injured her.
Still, Lian clearly remembered being hissed at and frightened by him.
