Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing slapped their paws away and said in a choked voice, “Don’t… touch me… let… let me… cry for a bit…”

“Ahem.” Winston cleared his throat and couldn’t help but smile as he brought his lips to her ear. It was very wrong of him to want to smile when his mate was crying in such despair, but he couldn’t help it.

“Um… An’an’s just asleep.”

Winston’s deep and rich voice sounded much more stable than Harvey’s. Bai Qingqing finally understood everything.

“What?” Dumbfounded, she raised her head and looked at him.

“Cough!” Winston nearly laughed and quickly disguised it as coughing. He tried to keep a straight face as he continued, “Harvey said An’an already stopped crying and fell asleep just now.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

She was seriously bewildered and mentally cursed after a while. What the hell!

She quickly raised her head and glared at Harvey fiercely.

Her hostile gaze caused him to instinctively step back. “I have nothing to do with this. You were the one who thought that way.”

Bai Qingqing gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. She then boldly stood up and walked towards him.

Harvey was forced to step back. “I really have nothing to do with this.”

He glanced at Winston standing at the side. They won’t kill me in revenge, right?

When Harvey was forced into a wall, Bai Qingqing glared at him and said, “Don’t tell anyone about this!”

F*ck. This is too embarrassing. No one can know about this, especially An’an. Otherwise, when she grows up, she’ll definitely be upset that she has a mum like me.

“Ah?” Harvey was stunned. He then shook his head vigorously and said sincerely, “I definitely won’t!”

“Hmph!” With tears on her face, Bai Qingqing scoffed and looked at Winston.

He immediately reassured her. “I won’t tell anyone.”

Bai Qingqing lowered her eyes and looked at the three leopard cubs on the ground.

Roar! Roar!

She couldn’t understand what they were saying. “If one of you tells anyone about this, none of you will have any milk!” she threatened.

The leopard cubs shook their heads so vigorously that they resembled pellet drums.

“Pft!” Winston couldn’t help but laugh.

Bai Qingqing was angry and anxious, but she didn’t have the heart to stop his rare laughter. After a while, she smiled as well.

“This is great. An’an is fine now. Let’s bring her back home.”

“Now?” Harvey was confused. “I thought you guys were going to move back to the tree hole.”

“That’s not why we’re moving. Since there’s no need to guard the tree hole anymore, let’s bring An’an back. She must be hungry after crying for the whole night.”

Harvey then said, “I’ll go inform Parker, then.”

“Thank you.” After thanking Harvey and sending him off, the smile on her face froze.

“An’an’s fine tonight, but will she be uncomfortable every time there’s a full moon in the future?” Bai Qingqing suddenly gasped as she thought of something. “If there’s scorpion poison in An’an’s body, does that mean she’ll have regular hallucinations? What’s the difference between a full moon’s night and a regular night?”

Winston was scared. The child was so young. What hallucinations could she have?

He didn’t want to talk about such painful topics with Bai Qingqing. He didn’t want her world to be tainted by darkness. But, he had no choice because this concerned the female child.

“When the poison kicks in, apart from hallucinations, the sufferer will also experience serious headaches. An’an probably had one of them last night,” Winston said.
