Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Stopped Midway

"Slow down..." Bai Wanwan’s voice was breathy. "I can’t catch my breath."

Hearing this, Yan Lie seemed encouraged, his bright, star-like eyes filled with boundless joy.

"Okay."

After his hurried response, his scorching breath drew near again.

His scalding lips landed on Bai Wanwan’s neck, his long fingers pressing into her soft skin.

Bai Wanwan was pressed against the soft beast hides, completely enveloped in his scorching aura.

Her consciousness began to fade, and she could only feel his searing body heat and his racing heartbeat.

"Sister!"

Shi Hua’s voice suddenly came from outside the door, like a bucket of cold water dumped on Bai Wanwan’s head.

She snapped back to her senses and turned to look at the half-closed door. A wave of shame made her quickly stop the male who was on the verge of erupting.

’As a modern woman, I really can’t accept having someone watch such an intimate moment.’

"Yan Lie..." She pushed at the male on top of her. "Get up."

But Yan Lie didn’t move an inch. Instead, he held her even tighter, his breathing ragged. "Wanwan, can’t we just ignore her?"

Bai Wanwan was now wide awake. She shook her head and coaxed him, "It’s almost time to eat. Next time, okay?"

She cupped Yan Lie’s face and gave him a light kiss on the lips, trying to soothe him.

’I really wish I could charge out and throw Shi Hua out of our house—as far away as possible!’

His grayish-blue eyes were filled with unfulfilled desire, but he couldn’t force Wanwan.

Bai Wanwan forced herself to ignore his gaze, grabbing her scattered dress and quickly putting it on.

Yan Lie watched her, secretly deciding that next time, he would definitely avoid this kind of situation. He would never give Shi Hua a second chance to interrupt them.

Outside, when Xin Feng heard Shi Hua’s voice, he had already guessed that Yan Lie had "hidden" Bai Wanwan away.

Sure enough, the next moment, the door was pushed open, and Bai Wanwan walked out, the flush not yet faded from her face, looking alluringly beautiful.

It was the look of arousal he was so familiar with.

’Even though I’ve told myself to accept Yan Lie, the thought of Wanwan in another male’s arms still makes me feel a little upset.’

The little wolf cub seemed to sense the shift in his Father Beast’s mood. It ran to his side, rubbing against his leg and whimpering.

Xin Feng put down the wood he was holding and bent over to pet his cub. "Hungry?"

Xin Feng scooped up the cub and looked at Bai Wanwan, who was now being held onto by Shi Hua. He smiled and said, "Then let’s go find your Mother."

"Sister, so you were here."

Shi Hua beamed as she came forward, her innocent and naive nature leaving her completely unaware of what had just happened.

Bai Wanwan forced a calm expression and smiled at her. "What’s wrong?"

"Sister, does this seasoning go in ahead of time?"

Shi Hua asked, pointing to the prepared seasonings on the side.

She had already skewered all the vegetables and was waiting for Bai Wanwan’s instructions.

"This seasoning doesn’t go on the vegetables," Bai Wanwan explained as she walked over to a stone basin full of water to wash her hands.

"We’ll just sprinkle it on the vegetables while they’re grilling later. This seasoning is for the meat."

After washing her hands, she poured the marinade into the stone basin filled with chunks of meat and began to massage it in with her hands.

Her movements were deft, and every piece of meat was evenly coated in the seasoning.

"Just leave it here," she said, stopping. "When Zhu Xiu and Mu Feng get back, we can start grilling right away."

Just then, Yan Lie walked out of the room.

He had composed himself. His gaze swept over to Shi Hua, who was clinging to Bai Wanwan, and he felt a surge of resentment with no outlet.

When Bai Wanwan glanced over, he immediately blinked at her pitifully.

Bai Wanwan’s heart softened, and she gave him a reassuring smile.

Just as Yan Lie was about to find a chance to squeeze Shi Hua aside, Xin Feng walked over, holding the cub.

Without the slightest hesitation, he walked right up to Bai Wanwan’s side, occupying the prime spot.

When Bai Wanwan saw the little wolf cub in his arms, her attention was immediately pulled away from Yan Lie.

"What’s the matter?"

The little wolf cub whimpered nonstop, making Bai Wanwan’s heart melt.

"He’s probably hungry. I brought him over to get something to eat."

Bai Wanwan had already prepared strips of meat. She immediately brought over the bowl containing them, picked one out, and slowly fed it to the cub.

The little wolf cub immediately snatched it in its mouth and began to wolf it down.

"Slow down."

As Bai Wanwan spoke, she called over the other cubs and fed them the meat strips one by one.

Xin Feng stood right beside her, occasionally exchanging a few words with her.

Yan Lie tried to interject, but several times, he only got a brief reply from Wanwan in return.

He watched Xin Feng and the cubs jealously.

’I have to have a litter of cubs with Wanwan as soon as possible, too. That way, she’ll pay more attention to me and my cubs.’

After eating and drinking their fill, the cubs all ran out into the courtyard to play.

Yan Lie thought, ’Finally, my chance!’ and strode over to Bai Wanwan’s other side.

But at that moment, Xin Feng was gently tucking a stray strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear.

Bai Wanwan’s eyes were smiling as she gazed tenderly at Xin Feng.

It was as if they only had eyes for each other.

Yan Lie suffered a second blow.

"Wanwan, I’m hungry too."

Yan Lie’s heart felt like it was soaking in a pile of sour fruit.

"Hungry? There’s still some meat left. Do you want some?"

The cubs had just eaten, so there were still a few strips of raw meat left.

Seeing Yan Lie’s desperate look, Xin Feng finally gave up his spot.

"Wanwan, I’ll go watch the cubs."

"Okay, I’ll call you when the meat is done grilling."

The moment Xin Feng left, a brilliant, sunny smile bloomed on Yan Lie’s face.

"Wanwan, you sit. I’ll do the grilling. If I do anything wrong, just tell me."

He attentively carried a stone stool over to Bai Wanwan’s side and helped her sit down.

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Bai Wanwan just let him be.

"First, get the fire started."

He followed her instructions step-by-step.

A short while later, once the fire was going, Yan Lie began to put the meat and vegetables on the grill.

Shi Hua watched from the side, also wanting to get closer to Sister Wanwan.

But every time she took a step, Sister Wanwan’s Beast Husband, the one called Yan Lie, would glare at her.

At first, she wasn’t sure if he was glaring at her, but he shot her a look every single time she moved to go over.

Once Shi Hua understood, she belatedly recalled that just now, Sister Wanwan seemed to have been in the stone house with him...

Her face flushed red, and she suddenly felt embarrassed. Taking advantage of the fact that Sister Wanwan wasn’t looking, she quickly turned and walked to a spot farther away.

Seeing Shi Hua walk away, with no other beastmen left to disturb him and Wanwan, Yan Lie worked with even more vigor.

He would grill for a moment, then glance at Wanwan sitting beside him.

The thought that she was now his female brought a sense of bliss that grew in his heart, causing the corners of his mouth to curve up more and more.

"What are you so happy about?"

Bai Wanwan saw him grilling the meat with a huge smile on his face and couldn’t help but ask.

"Just seeing you sit next to me makes me happy."

Bai Wanwan knew this leopard was head over heels for her. Seeing him drenched in sweat from grilling, she stood up to wipe his forehead.

She had just dabbed his forehead with the soft cotton cloth when he grabbed her wrist, brought it to his lips, and planted a firm kiss on it.
