Chapter 1440 - 561: Dundun: Using My Meow’s Red Envelopes for Employee Bonuses? You’re So Noble, So Impressive!

Chapter 1440: Chapter 561: Dundun: Using My Meow’s Red Envelopes for Employee Bonuses? You’re So Noble, So Impressive!

"Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control. I only drink a lot when I’m with family. When I’m at a drinking party with outsiders, I’m extremely cautious. You never know which word could be a pitfall, so I never dare to drink too much."

As a self-made tycoon, Shen Guofu has seen countless traps at drinking gatherings.

He’s even fallen into a few himself, which is why he increasingly dislikes drinking at social events outside. If he wants to drink, he does it with family.

During this trip to Yinzhou, the reason he’s been drinking heavily is that he’s been holding back for too long.

After finishing the meal, Lin Xu picked up Dundun with the red envelope still under it, stuffed the little red envelope into its embrace, said goodbye to family along with Shen Jiayue, and drove back home.

Having been away for so long, it was time to clean up a bit.

As they got into the car, he helped Dundun put the red envelope into the Minion suitcase; only then did the little one relax. But it lay on top of the suitcase, looking at Shen Jiayue with a wary expression.

"Mommy won’t touch your money, why do you keep looking at me with that look?"

Shen Jiayue felt a bit puzzled. Dundun was fine when they came, but now seemed different after going home. Could Yan Bao have secretly told it something?

Back at home, as soon as the door opened, Dundun dashed inside, checked upstairs and downstairs, then went to its room and joyfully scratched its claws on the Cat Castle, looking quite happy.

Having gotten used to living here, it now thoroughly considers it its home.

Although visiting relatives back home is nice, it’s never as comfortable as one’s own home.

Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue brought the luggage and various foods upstairs, then took out the robotic vacuum to clean the dust off the floor.

Next, they grabbed cloths to wipe dust off the furniture surfaces.

While the two were busy, Dundun sat on the robotic vacuum, wandering around the room, making Shen Jiayue feel quite emotional:

"Feels like this house was bought for Dundun. We’re working so hard, but look at that smug little face. No wonder everyone says cats need a good spanking, that expression just begs for it."

Dundun looked like a little Knight riding a motorbike, eyes narrowed, expression content.

Once tired of wandering, it jumped down, went to the floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room, jumped into a nearby cat bed, and contentedly gazed at the gradually darkening sky.

Finally finishing up, night had already fallen.

Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue then changed the sheets and bedding, putting the old ones into the washing machine, to clean them and then dry.

"Wow, I’m so tired!"

Shen Jiayue collapsed on the sofa. The PS5 had been taken out of the suitcase, but she didn’t have the energy to connect it to the TV, only wanted to lie on the sofa and catch her breath.

Having a big house is indeed inconvenient.

Lin Xu brought Shen Jiayue a cup of warm water to drink, then asked:

"Hungry? Would you like me to cook something for you?"

"A bit hungry, but I don’t feel like eating. Let’s just wait until morning."

"Alright, I’ll tidy up the kitchen first."

After not living at home for over ten days, some of the food in the fridge was no longer edible and had to be thrown out. The stovetop also needed wiping.

Once finished, the couple rested in the living room for a while, then headed to their bedroom for a shower and sleep.

After driving long-distance for seven or eight consecutive hours, Lin Xu felt physically and mentally exhausted, but after a good night’s sleep, all weariness disappeared.

By six-thirty, he was already dressed, washed up, helped tuck in the blanket for the kicking Shen Baobao, and went downstairs to start preparing breakfast.

Though the food supplies at home were limited, it was still possible to make breakfast.

Lin Xu mixed a slightly hard dough, letting it relax in the mixing bowl.

Taking advantage of this time, he grabbed a cabbage, peeled off the outer leaves, separated the tender inner leaves, sliced the leaves, and cut the stems into strips.

He also took a block of frozen meat from the fridge, slicing it finely into meat chunks.

With limited ingredients at home, Lin Xu planned to make a bowl of Meat Shreds noodle soup, using the homemade Chili Oil, crispy fried bacon bits, and small pickles, along with frying two eggs to complete the meal.

With nothing else to do, he went upstairs, saw Dundun still fast asleep, and decided not to disturb it.

Before sleeping last night, he opened the suitcase for the little guy, hoping Dundun would take out its little buddies. Unexpectedly, the buddies were still there, but all the red envelopes had vanished.

Upon closer inspection, he found a hint of red deep within the Cat Castle.

Lin Xu was both amused and exasperated.

Dundun went to such lengths to guard against Shen Baobao. If she finds out later, she’s sure to give the little rascal a good spanking.

Leaving Dundun’s room, Lin Xu went back downstairs, checked messages in various groups, and soon heard Shen Jiayue’s voice from the stairway:

"Xu Bao, is breakfast ready?"

Lin Xu stood up and said:

"We’re having noodles this morning. Didn’t dare make them until you’d woken up, afraid they’d get gooey."

With that, he went to the kitchen, stir-frying the meat chunks with chicken fat and Light Soy Sauce, Dark Soy Sauce, and other seasonings. Once fragrant, he added the cabbage stems, stir-fried them briefly, and added water.

Without stock today, he made a quick-boil noodle soup directly.

While the water was boiling, he removed the relaxed dough from the bowl, grabbed the rolling pin, rolled it out thin and smooth, folded it, and cut it open with a knife.

By then, the soup in the pot was boiling.

Lin Xu didn’t directly put in the noodles but first cracked two eggs into it. Once the egg whites slightly set, he added the cut noodles.

Once it boiled again, he added the cabbage leaves, salt, oyster sauce, Chicken Powder, and other seasonings, finishing with a dash of pepper to invigorate.
