Lu Zihao immediately abandoned his stare-down with the Spaniard to catch the orange cat just in time before it could crash into his woman.

Lu Zihao snorted, his eyes sweeping from her head to toe and back up again to make sure that she was fine. He glanced at her stomach for a few seconds longer but his expression didn't expose anything to others.
