âShe does look much prettier. This is great! Hahaha...â Roaring with laughter with her head raised and the baby in her arms, Bai Qingqing resembled a female bandit.
Waa!
The sharp-pitched cry of a baby masked her laughter. With a change in countenance, Bai Qingqing instantly lifted Anâan. Alas, it was too late. A wet patch was already imprinted on her stomach.
Now it was Parkerâs turn to roar with laughter as he reached out to carry Anâan.
Bai Qingqing glared at him, then got up to change her clothes.
Harvey prepared to leave with self-awareness.
The air in the tree hole smelt incredibly murky. There was also the newly introduced odor of pee. Feeling that she was more or less done recuperating, Bai Qingqing wanted to remove the pile of grass from the entrance to let in the fresh air.
A coarse, large hand pinned her hand, covering it entirely.
âYouâre in confinement and canât be exposed to wind,â Winston said seriously.
Bai Qingqing then reached out with her other hand and tried to pry away the grass. âIâm perfectly fine now. Iâll just allow the breeze to come in for a while and cover it back up later.â
Winston kept quiet and didnât reply, but his hand remained firmly lodged on the grass pile. Regardless of how hard Bai Qingqing tried, she couldnât remove any of it.
âAh! Just let me take a breather, will you?â Bai Qingqing pleaded. She looked up at him and playfully blinked her eyes, begging in a delicate tone. âPlease?â
Winstonâs breathing halted, and his heart felt heavily impaled by something, his heart rate rapidly escalating.
Bai Qingqing chuckled in her heart. Quiet tiger, youâre pitting yourself against me?
Growl~
Winston gulped his saliva and said with a tense face, âNo way, youâre in confinement.â
The glee in Bai Qingqingâs eyes instantly transformed into rage. She glared at Winston. âHmph! Iâm not going to talk to you!â
With that, she retracted her hand and stomped back to Curtisâs side with heavy footsteps.
Winston retracted his hands helplessly. He looked at his palms that still carried the body temperature of his spouse, then towards Bai Qingqingâs back view as she left in anger. On top of panic, he also felt his heart flutter due to her response.
So cute.
Curtis raised his head and flicked out his tongue at Bai Qingqing, looking extremely fatigued. However, as her confinement period lasted for a month, plus they were going to shift to a new home after that, he had to hold on.
Bai Qingqingâs heart ached to see Curtis in this state. She pinned his head and said, âYou should go to the stone castle to sleep first.â
Curtis shook his snakeâs head and opened his mouth to yawn. In its open state, his snakeâs mouth was wider than his body, and it looked like he could easily swallow Bai Qingqing into his stomach in one mouthful.
His pink gums and thick esophagus were visible behind his pair of sharp and slim fangs. The sight of which made Bai Qingqing feel a sense of trepidation, making her involuntarily shift her body away.
The nourishment she took in over these three days had allowed her body to recover from its frail state during childbirth, and her supply of milk had increased so much that it was more than enough for Anâan. Bai Qingqing felt very troubled over this.
She stroked her aching chest and sat down by Curtisâs side. âHand Anâan over to me.â
âIs the swelling happening again?â Parker looked at her with heartache. After some hesitation, he asked, âBut Anâan has drunk her fill and fallen asleep. Should I wake her up?â
Bai Qingqing held a hand to her forehead. âForget it. Since thereâs plenty enough for her to drink, just let her continue sleeping. Bring me two bowls.â
âWhy do you need bowls?â Winston asked cluelessly.
Parker replied rudely, âJust go get them.â
Too embarrassed to articulate it, Bai Qingqing merely shot Winston a pleading gaze. The latter went down immediately.
Howl~
Upon hearing the commotion, the three leopard cubs crawled up looking more excited than usual, bouncing up and down in front of their mommy.
Scalp tightening, Bai Qingqing picked up an animal skin and smacked them with it. âLittle rascals! You still remember!â
