Beauty and the Beasts

Breath halting, Bai Qingqing raised her head and looked up at Winston. She felt the lights dim before her eyes, and her lips were then ferociously kissed upon.

“Ooh~”

Winston dragged Bai Qingqing’s blanket with one hand and placed her on the bed-stove, gingerly laying over her.

An’an wasn’t at all affected, and she continued drinking happily.

The bed-stove was very warm. With the layer of animal skin clothing over her, heat very quickly formed over her back, making Bai Qingqing involuntarily extend her body.

She let go of Winston’s tail and raised her head cooperatively while he kissed her. Winston, too, gradually calmed down, and the nature of this kiss turned from passionate to lingering.

Only after An’an drank her fill did Winston let go of Bai Qingqing and flip An’an over.

“Ah ooh~” An’an whimpered. She stared at him with her large watery eyes, saliva hanging on her pink glistening lips.

Bai Qingqing also widened her eyes and stared at Winston. With her lips kissed red and swollen, the mother-and-daughter duo’s expressions were extraordinarily similar.

For some reason, Winston felt this was really adorable. He raised his hand to stroke Bai Qingqing’s head and was about to say something, when…

Bing bang—

The door to the bedroom was kicked open.

Parker came in with the food and stared fixedly at the sandwiched trio.

Bai Qingqing quickly shoved Winston away. In order to soothe the atmosphere, she tried finding something to talk about. “You’re done so fast?”

“I wasn’t all that fast,” Parker said, his words clearly hinting at a deeper meaning as he strode into the room with the piping hot food.

Wasn’t all that fast… so that meant they had been kissing for a long time?

Bai Qingqing wanted to crawl into a hole and hide her face.

Winston got up and lifted An’an into his arms, before helping Bai Qingqing up as well.

Bai Qingqing wiped her mouth and walked with her head bowed in embarrassment, secretly sneaking a glance at Parker.

For Bai Qingqing, lunch had always been the most sumptuous meal. For today’s menu, there were pancake rolls with meat filling, a stack of thin flour pancakes, a bowl of stir-fried meat, a bowl of stir-fried shredded stone fruit, for her to roll up whatever ingredients she fancied before eating.

Additionally, there was a big bowl of bird’s soup which was stewed into a tantalizing golden color, smelling incredibly aromatic.

All these dishes were contained using finely-made porcelain utensils, making for an exquisite sight.

“Mm, the food looks incredible today.” She praised.

Though his countenance improved greatly, Parker still sounded a tad disgruntled. “You’re so fake.”

“It really looks yummy,” Bai Qingqing said aggrievedly. The moment she sat down, she instantly made a pancake roll and nodded as she said, “Delicious.”

“Hmph.” Parker’s tail curled up.

Winston placed An’an in the nest, then bade farewell to Bai Qingqing before leaving for work.

As she ate, she asked in a muffled voice, “Are the figurines in the stove ready?”

“I just took a look. They’re more or less ready,” replied Parker.

Bai Qingqing immediately said, “Then, quickly get them out. I’d like to look at them now.”

“No.” Parker turned down her request mercilessly. He said, “If you touch it now, cracks will appear in the snowflakes.”

“Oh right, I forgot all about that,” Bai Qingqing said, disappointment evident in her tone. Her delicate brows drooped. If she had beast ears, right now those would be drooping as well.

Parker stroked her head in amusement and said dotingly, “Hurry up and eat. After you eat, take a nap. I guarantee that, after you wake up, you’ll get to see the figurines the minute you open your eyes.”

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing responded with a smile, inwardly letting out a sigh of relief as well. Finally, that awkward atmosphere was over.

Not afraid of growing fat now, after Bai Qingqing finished eating, she laid on the bed and slept with An’an in her arms.

Now that they had a bed-stove, she no longer needed the males to warm the bed. Nonetheless, after Parker finished clearing the dining table, he still transformed into a leopard and climbed into the nest.
