The young lady who brought the document here instantly felt awkward. She finished the coffee in one gulp and said, âErm, Iâll be making a move first.â
After saying that, she took her bag and fled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Qingqing poked the empty plate unhappily.
Curtis rubbed her head dotingly, placed the menu in front of her, and said, âItâs good that theyâre gone. We can buy a few more back home.â
Who wanted takeaways? Itâd be sickening to eat too many cakes.
Bai Qingqing wanted to refuse when she looked up and saw Curtisâs anticipating gaze. The words that had reached her throat changed. âOh, alright. Weâll buy a few more and let Winston and Muir try them as well.â
Curtis nodded, feeling pleased. He then called for the waiter.
While waiting for the cake, Bai Qingqingâs phone suddenly rang. Her countenance changed and she said, âThis is bad. My mom might be worried about me.â
Bai Qingqing took out her phone carefully, heaving a sigh of relief upon seeing that it was an unfamiliar number. She pressed the button to pick the call.
âHello, is this Miss Bai? Your parcel has arrived. Are you at home now?â A male voice rang out from the other end of the call.
The bird nest they had ordered last week had arrived. Bai Qingqing quickly said, âYes, yes, yes. Thereâs someone at home. You can send it over right now.â
âSure.â
Looking forward to seeing it, Bai Qingqing pulled Curtis to get up. âI wonder what the bird nest is like. Letâs hurry up and go back to check it out.â
Curtis wasnât used to sleeping on a flat bed no matter how soft it was. Also looking forward to seeing the bird nest, he said softly, âAlright.â
They ordered five cakes to take away. The café was very close to their home, and they had just arrived at the door when the delivery manâs vehicle arrived.
The bird nest was stored in a two-meter long box. After the delivery man verified her identity, he asked casually, âWhat did you buy? Itâs so big, but it isnât heavy at all.â
âHehe, itâs a beanbag.â Bai Qingqing smiled, reaching out to the box. However, before she touched it, a pair of big and long arms intercepted it.
Curtis held the box in his arms and weighed it, then entered the house. Bai Qingqing hurried after him.
âQingqing, wait for me,â said Parker as he held onto the many boxes of cakes.
Curtisâs legs were long and he walked very fast. Bai Qingqing had just arrived at the door when he was no longer in sight. She suddenly saw a wisp of a yellow figure from the corner of her eyes.
What was that?
Surprised, Bai Qingqing immediately looked toward the trees at the side.
A leopard darted out from the plants.
âAhh!â Bai Qingqing backed off in reflex, leaning against Parkerâs body.
Parker wrapped his arm around his mate, giving the leopard an admiring gaze. He then said softly, âQingqing, donât be afraid. Iâm here.â
The leopard stopped in front of Bai Qingqing and groveled on the ground, sniffing her.
Bai Qingqing exhaled, then turned to twist his ear. âYou hid it here?â
Another leopard came running over, and Bai Qingqing said, âYouâre keeping them here?â
Parker pretended it hurt a lot and gritted his teeth, saying, âJust for now. After the zoo is built, weâll put them in there.â
âZoo?â Bai Qingqing was confused.
Curtis was opening the box when he heard this and paused, saying, âWe contracted a piece of land in the mountainous area and are planning to build a zoo to rear food.â
Bai Qingqing felt even more stunned and headed into the house. âHow did you guys do that? Why didnât you tell me? How much does it cost?â
Curtis embraced her and signaled Parker with his eyes, then headed up. Parker carried the delivery box inside.
