Beauty and the Beasts

Roar! Roar! Roar! Three leopard cubs roared at Bai Qingqing in unison, their tails slamming against the ground so hard their butts were shaking. Now and then they would even pounce on each other.

Seeing their insistence, Bai Qingqing couldn’t bear to refuse them. Furthermore, it would indeed be a waste to throw away the milk. Hence, she relented with a stiff face.

“Alright, I’ll just squeeze it out for you three. Stop fidgeting!”

The cubs instantly purred and laid on their bellies, looking like trained military dogs, making Bai Qingqing tickled with laughter.

Amid the cubs’ anxious anticipation, Winston came back with two big stone bowls, making the cubs’ round eyes turn even rounder, swallowing their saliva continuously.

Winston cast them a strange glance before walking to her. “Here.”

Bai Qingqing took the bowls from him and covered her body with a blanket, then removed her clothes by feel.

Splash splash splash~

Splashing sounds immediately rang from the blanket.

Only then were Winston’s speculations affirmed. He felt his tanned face heating up and stiffly turned his head away.

Howl~

The cubs clawed at Bai Qingqing’s legs anxiously. Rolling her eyes at them, she brought out a bowl half-filled with a white milky liquid. “Go drink it.”

The three leopards’ heads came together above the stone bowl and fought to lick from it. Now that they were too big, the bowl was too small for their three heads to drink from it at the same time. After some fighting and snatching, none of them managed to drink anything. No idea who stepped on the edge of the bowl, causing it to tip over and the contents to spill.

Roar!

With their fur dripping with milk, the cubs let out an agonizing cry.

Oh my goodness!

Tears brimmed up in the cubs’ eyes, making them look really pitiful. They dug at the carpet while whimpering, and in the end, they simply started licking the wet carpet.

No idea if they could taste anything this way, but they did seem like they were relishing it.

“Little rascals, making trouble all day long!” Parker was about to kick them aside when Bai Qingqing shouted for him to stop.

“Forget it, don’t hit them. We were going to move to a new home anyway, and this carpet would need to be washed. Let’s just make do with this for a few days.” As she spoke, she brought out another bowl of milk. Accidentally meeting Winston’s astounded gaze, Bai Qingqing felt super awkward.

Damn, she seriously felt like a milk cow!

Cough! Bai Qingqing pretended to cough, an unfocused look in her eyes. “Err… one of you hold down the cubs and let them drink one by one.”

As Parker was carrying An’an, Winston walked over and offered to do it.

Seeing Winston take the bowl of milk with a perfectly serious countenance, Bai Qingqing’s awkwardness vanished. There really was nothing else she could do except being thick-skinned, pick up the spilled bowl, and continue to squeeze milk into it.

The cubs had fought a few times vying for the right to drink first. Ultimately, Eldest emerged victorious, and Second placed second, while Third was placed last. However, eventually, all three cubs got to drink the milk.

…

By the time An’an was seven days old, her ugliness at birth had completely disappeared.

With tender skin brimming with moisture and chubby cheeks, she looked like a freshly steamed bun. Her eyes could also open now, and the color of her pupils was somewhere between black and silver, a very pure grayish-silver shade. Her eyes were deep-set like Westerners’.

An’an had the face of a mixed-blood baby, with Chinese and Western parentage.

Even Bai Qingqing was often stunned. Damn, is this really my daughter? She’s so pretty! I’m sure she’ll be much prettier than me when she grows up! Mixed-blood children are indeed pretty!

Although Bai Qingqing didn’t dare claim to be better-looking than Jean, she was certain her daughter would grow to be more beautiful than Jean.

Of course, the males in the family felt even more so. Even Curtis had looked at An’an quite a few times. Now, Parker and Winston no longer dared to invite Harvey to their home. This was their precious darling, they weren’t going to casually show her to any random male.
