Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Something’s Wrong

Bai Wanwan looked down at Zhu Xiu. His eyes were churning with thick desire, but he still didn’t move.

Bai Wanwan leaned forward slightly. Her fingers trailed slowly from his chin, over his prominent Adam’s apple, to his collarbones...

Then, she traced two circles on his chest with her fingertip.

At this moment, Bai Wanwan was like a demon, her expression holding an alluring charm. "Zhu Xiu, do you really not want to?"

The beastman’s gaze was so intense it looked like it could devour her whole.

Bai Wanwan continued to fan the flames. Her slender, beautiful fingertips danced over his fine muscles, moving lower...

A magnetic, muffled groan escaped the beastman’s lips.

Finally... the fire of desire raged uncontrollably.

Their positions shifted. The female’s body was now locked between his arms.

Bai Wanwan relaxed, her smiling eyes crinkling as she hooked her arms around him. "Do you want it?"

Zhu Xiu stared at her red lips, parting and closing, and leaned down to bite them.

His kiss was heavy and deep, leaving Bai Wanwan unable to resist while also igniting her competitive spirit.

’I was the one in control just a moment ago,’ she thought. ’How did the tables turn so quickly?’

So, she wrapped her arms around the beastman’s neck and used every trick she knew.

But in the end, Bai Wanwan couldn’t overcome the beastman and was defeated.

His breath was like lava, hot enough to melt her slender neck.

Leaving clusters of messy red plum blossoms on the snowy expanse of her skin.

Zhu Xiu’s eyes were now completely bloodshot.

After the fierce storm, he summoned all his patience.

Bai Wanwan had never seen such a gentle Zhu Xiu, and she closed her eyes in comfort.

It felt as if their two hearts had melted into one, an unprecedentedly wonderful and exhilarating experience.

When all was calm and quiet, Bai Wanwan fell asleep in his arms, feeling utterly safe and content.

Zhu Xiu tightened his arms slightly, his gaze falling upon the beautiful face in his embrace.

The cold-blooded beastman, always known for being grim and ruthless, now had a touch of warmth in his eyes.

He stared unblinking at the beautiful, palm-sized face in his arms, as if trying to etch her sleeping features deep into his memory.

Bai Wanwan was completely unaware, sleeping soundly and sweetly.

When she woke up, she wasn’t as sore as she’d expected.

’It must be because he was so gentle and restrained during the latter half of the night, taking care of me.’

Even at that slow pace, her heart pounded like a drum just thinking about it.

The thought of a beastman as calm and self-possessed as Zhu Xiu on the verge of losing control made her heart melt.

She wished she could just drown in his embrace.

She reached out to the side, only to find the spot next to her was cold.

The beastman was long gone. She clutched the blanket and sat up.

"Wanwan, you’re awake?"

Yan Lie heard the movement and glanced at the doorway. Seeing she was awake, he immediately tossed the meat strips in his hand to the cubs and strode over to her.

Having just woken up well-rested, Bai Wanwan’s face was flushed. Her skin was snow-white and translucent with a faint blush, her lips a cherry red...

As Yan Lie watched her, he suddenly felt his throat go dry.

"What’s wrong? Hand me my clothes." Bai Wanwan raised a hand, signaling for him to get her clothes.

Yan Lie knew his female was beautiful, but at this moment, Wanwan’s beauty was breathtaking.

Even as he reached for the clothes, he couldn’t bear to look away from her.

"Let me help you."

With that, he sat down and began to dress her.

Bai Wanwan had just woken up and felt languid and weak, not wanting to move. She leaned into his embrace and let him dress her.

But as he dressed her, his hands started to misbehave.

A squeeze here, a touch there.

SLAP!

Bai Wanwan lightly slapped his hand.

Yan Lie snapped back to his senses and reluctantly pulled his hand away.

He meticulously helped Bai Wanwan wash up, then wiped the mouths of the cubs, who had crumbs all over their faces.

As Bai Wanwan watched, she suddenly realized that Yan Lie, who initially knew nothing, had become so meticulous and thoughtful, even when taking care of the cubs.

After finishing her breakfast, she walked over to him, stood on her tiptoes, and gave him a kiss.

Who knew that this one simple act would ignite the fire Yan Lie had been suppressing.

He immediately turned, pressing her against the stone wall, his fiery breath filling her mouth.

"Wanwan..."

The beastman murmured, his kisses and tone filled with lingering affection.

Just as they were becoming inseparable and things were about to escalate, Shi Hua’s voice came from the backyard. "Sister Wanwan, are you up?"

Shi Hua remembered that Sister Wanwan had said yesterday they should take the kids out for a walk while the morning was still cool. She had come to get Bai Wanwan as soon as she was ready.

Hearing Shi Hua’s voice, Bai Wanwan came to her senses and immediately pushed against Yan Lie’s chest.

Unwilling to let go, Yan Lie chased her lips for another kiss.

Only then did he release her, a look of frustration on his face, and glared resentfully at Shi Hua, who was walking in from the backyard.

The moment Shi Hua entered the room, she met Yan Lie’s gaze.

She was so scared she flinched.

In Shi Hua’s impression of Bai Wanwan’s three Beast Husbands, Zhu Xiu was the most unapproachable.

Although Xin Feng seemed gentle, he was distant with any female other than Sister Wanwan.

Only Yan Lie was always hovering around Sister Wanwan, a constant smile on his face.

So she had always thought Yan Lie was the most good-natured.

She had never even seen him not smiling.

So, to be confronted with this look, Shi Hua was completely startled.

Seeing that Shi Hua was frightened, Bai Wanwan poked Yan Lie in the waist. "What are you doing? Don’t scare Shi Hua."

Only then did Yan Lie retract his resentful gaze. When he looked at Bai Wanwan, his expression now held a layer of grievance.

"She interrupts us every time. You have to make it up to me next time."

Bai Wanwan was reminded of the last time this happened and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’Who can be blamed when the timing is always so coincidental!’

"Alright, I’ll make it up to you next time."

After Yan Lie turned to do something else, Bai Wanwan took Shi Hua’s hand. "Don’t be afraid. He’s just in a bad mood, he’s not targeting you on purpose."

As they were talking, they were just about to take the cubs out for a walk.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door.

Bai Wanwan saw several beastmen standing at the entrance.

"Can I help you?"

"Female Bai Wanwan, the weather is hot. The Young Clan Leader had us deliver some ice blocks to you."

"Ice blocks?"

Bai Wanwan’s eyes lit up, and she immediately spotted the large blocks of ice in their hands.

"Quick, come in."

Bai Wanwan immediately let them pass, allowing them to carry the ice blocks inside.

She directed the beastmen to place the ice blocks in a cool corner of the room.

The temperature during the Yan Ji was indeed high, but strangely, any place not directly exposed to the sun was actually quite cool.

So, placing the ice blocks in a shady spot would keep them from melting so quickly.

"Please thank the Young Clan Leader for me. I’ll send him a thank-you gift in return."

After seeing the beastmen who delivered the ice off, she turned around and saw Yan Lie standing there with a strange expression.

Bai Wanwan had Shi Hua take the cubs and go out first.

She hung back, walked to Yan Lie’s side, and looked up at him. "What’s with that expression? Are you still mad at Shi Hua?"

Yan Lie grabbed the hand she was poking his cheek with. "It’s not Shi Hua..."
