It was fine if she just wanted the luminous ball. They could just borrow it. Bai Qingqing was scared that Anâan might be sick.
Parkerâs heart ached when he saw his mateâs anxious expression, and he quickly said, âAlright, Iâll go right away.â
As he said that, he had already left the bedroom.
Not long later, a wet Parker brought in a ball not much smaller than an egg emitting light. The room was instantly a lot more illuminated than before.
If they had a few more balls like these, it wouldnât be a problem for the room to be as bright as day.
âAlright. Anâan, look, the big luminous ball is here.â Bai Qingqing quickly turned Anâan toward the direction of the luminous ball.
They had only been planning to make a Hail Mary effort, but the effect was instantaneous. The bright light rays illuminated Anâanâs small and tender face. The anxiety and horror on her face immediately dissipated. She blinked her moistened eyes, and her silvery-gray eyes turned bright and glistening. Her pink lips broke into a faint smile as she reached out for the luminous ball.
Bai Qingqing felt at ease but speechless at the same time. It was getting increasingly harder to please this child as she grew older.
Parker heaved a large sigh of relief, handing Anâan the luminous ball. He couldnât help but smile when he saw her satisfied expression.
âHey, remember to return it to me.â Bluepoolâs voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
The few males in the room all erupted, and Parker let out a low threatening growl as he turned around. Winston and Muir also appeared as if they were facing an enemy, staring in the direction of the voice with a hint of killing intent.
Their matesâ resting place was the most important fortress to males, and there was no way theyâd let outsiders enter easily. Coming uninvited would be considered a serious breach of territory.
Thankfully, Bluepool was aware of this and hadnât entered. He only spoke in the courtyard. Sensing the tremendous hostility, he quickly backed off a few steps.
Bai Qingqing scratched her head and said loudly, âErm... Weâll return it to you. Weâll give it back to you in the day.â Then borrow it again at night.
Bai Qingqing felt extremely troubled. Judging from how Anâan was so protective of the luminous ball, she clearly wasnât going to lose interest in Bluepoolâs dowry any time soon.
Bluepool wasnât really anxious. It was at Bai Qingqingâs place anyway, so giving it to Anâan would be the same as having given it to her. He could even take the opportunity to have contact with Bai Qingqing.
Moreover, no matter how hard this luminous ball was to get, it wasnât as if there wasnât any replacement for it. There were even better ones out there. It was just that one would have to spend several years or even several decades to find one.
âAlright, Iâll come to get it tomorrow in the day,â Bluepool said with a good temper.
Bai Qingqing exhaled. âThereâs no need to go to the trouble. Weâll send it over to you.â
Bluepool didnât reply and went back in a good mood.
Only then did the males in the room let down their guards, returning to their relaxed state.
The temperature was neither high nor low, and it was the perfect temperature for sleeping. However, there were always those who had trouble sleeping.
After recuperating for half the night, Muirâs injuries were basically healed. He attempted to transform into his human form and let out a soft sigh of relief after succeeding. His expression also seemed relaxed.
There were several sets of breathing in the room, light-hearted breathing from a child, long breathings from mature males, as well as light and hardly noticeable breathing from a female. All of them were mixed together and seemed to have the same rhythm due to their intimacy, making it hard to discern between them.
However, Muir was able to clearly discern the set that belonged to Bai Qingqing. He looked over toward the sound of her breathing with an infatuated gaze. There was no one to obstruct him nor Bai Qingqingâs subconscious resistance toward him, so he could look at her without restraint.
His lips, which were always tightly pursed together, unconsciously curled up into a faint smile. As he hadnât worn any expression for a very long time, this smile appeared a little stiff. However, the strong delight from the bottom of his eyes made his smile appear extremely heartfelt.
He could finally watch over by Qingqingâs side forever. It was so nice.
Muir continued to look in Bai Qingqingâs direction like this until daybreak.
