Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Want to Seduce Lu Tingyan

The corner of Bai Ruxin’s mouth twitched. "Third Brother... she probably just doesn’t recognize you. Don’t overthink it. Just find a chance to speak with her privately later."

You couldn’t blame Bai Su for not recognizing him.

The members of the Bai family were all just so biased.

When Bai Su was born and they discovered she was a Dutch Rabbit, everyone considered it a scandal.

Hardly anyone in the Bai family treated her as a proper young lady. They just kept her around the house like a servant.

Bai Ruyan doted on his younger daughter, Bai Xue, all day long. He paid Bai Su no mind, never even bothering to see her.

The girl had probably only seen him a few times since she was born. In recent years, she had been exiled and driven out, giving her even less contact with the Bai family.

’It would be stranger if she *did* recognize him, wouldn’t it?’

Over on the other side, Yan Hongyi quickly led the way, ushering Bai Su and Lu Tingyan inside.

A bustling crowd of others followed behind them, also hurrying into the venue.

Once inside the venue, Bai Su discovered it was a Western-style cocktail party, more like a large social event.

The event was held outdoors on a lawn covered with roses. An assortment of long tables was scattered about, decorated with fresh flowers and vials of nutrient solution.

There was almost no fresh food.

Bai Su paused, then quickly realized that very few people in the Federation could cook anymore. Naturally, eating real food at a banquet like this was out of the question.

The grounds were divided into several areas with various amusements.

At these banquets, eating wasn’t the point. Having fun was.

It was more like an open-air ball. Nestled among clusters of flowers, several bands played light, soothing melodies.

Holding Lu Tingyan’s arm, Bai Su’s face was starting to feel stiff from smiling so much.

’I can’t believe I survived the engagement party just to go through this. No wonder Lu Tingyan hates attending banquets.’

’How could I possibly relax and have fun with so many people staring?’

People even stared when she scratched her neck, whispering that her movements weren’t graceful enough.

Although Lu Tingyan rarely attended banquets, he handled these situations with practiced ease.

He just had to stand there with an arm around his little rabbit, and a steady stream of people would naturally approach to greet him and make conversation.

Yan Hongyi stayed beside them, helping to manage the conversations.

Nobles constantly came forward to pay their respects, but most couldn’t withstand Lu Tingyan’s powerful aura. Unsure what to say, they would exchange a few awkward, anxious words before retreating of their own accord.

Then the next wave of guests would squeeze in at the first opportunity.

This was the first time Bai Su had seen Lu Tingyan like this.

She spent the most time with him at her mountaintop restaurant.

On her turf, he was always gentle, and even the little ones weren’t afraid of him.

Bai Su knew he was the leader of the Federation, but it had never felt tangible.

Today was the first time she truly, in a real sense, felt the privilege that came with his identity.

Nearly all eyes were fixed on them—or more accurately, on Lu Tingyan.

She was merely being observed by association, thanks to her new title as "Lu Tingyan’s fiancée."

Lu Tingyan was surprisingly talkative today. With his arm around Bai Su, he would deign to respond to anyone, so long as they offered a few words of praise for her.

In the past, such a thing would have been unimaginable.

As the dancing began, the crowd’s focus finally shifted, and people melted onto the dance floor.

The music was too loud for conversation anyway.

Suddenly, a child darted through the crowd.

Bai Su froze. In that fleeting glimpse, the child’s features looked strikingly like Yelias. But by the time she focused her eyes, he was gone.

’Was I seeing things...?’

She scanned the crowd carefully again. She didn’t find the child, but she did spot Yelias standing at the edge of the gathering.
