Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Chapter 168: Burning Down the Kitchen Was Already Annoying

Wen Dabao jolted and said quickly, "Ah, what I mean is, you should go ask in her livestream! Doesn’t she stream every day? I see her answering their questions in her stream all the time. Or you could send a private message!"

Wen Lan refused without a second thought. "I’m not going!"

Wen Dabao scratched her head. "But if you make a new account to ask, she won’t know who you are. There’s no shame in it that way!"

Wen Lan said stiffly, "It’s just cooking. The process is simple. I’m just not as practiced as that woman. There’s no need to ask her."

Wen Dabao licked her dry lips. "Fine."

’Might as well let them starve.’

Wen Dabao saw her little sister nodding off from exhaustion, her stomach still empty.

Her heart ached for her. She scampered over to a front shelf, grabbed a bottle of strawberry-flavored nutrient drink, and shoved it into her hands. "Little Treasure, drink this first. Don’t wait for Dad’s crayfish, or we’ll starve."

Wen Lan: "..."

Wen Xiaobao rubbed her eyes. "Sister..."

Wen Dabao twisted the cap open and put the nutrient drink in her hands, taking care of her sister with practiced ease. "Drink up, drink up."

Wen Xiaobao was starving. After an obedient nod, she hugged the bottle and began to drink, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG.

But compared to freshly cooked food, it was a poor substitute.

Wen Dabao took a few gulps of the nutrient drink her sister hadn’t finished, then scooped her up and turned her head to say, "Dad, have fun on your own. We’re going up to sleep."

Wen Lan: "...Mm."

Wen Dabao yawned and went up to the second floor.

The layout on the second floor was the same as the first, with two rooms.

The two sisters shared one room, and Wen Lan had the other, each with its own bathroom.

Wen Dabao took her sister into the smaller room and skillfully lulled her to sleep. Then she lay down herself, and in no time, she was fast asleep, sprawled on her back with her little belly sticking out.

Wen Lan took out his terminal, opened a short-form video app, and tapped into his private message conversation with Bai Su.

The message he’d sent earlier today was displayed there, all alone: "Hey, how do you make spicy crayfish?"

’Tch. Fine, don’t reply then.’

’It’s not like I was desperate for a reply.’

’For my daughters’ sake, I can figure it out myself!’

Gritting his teeth, Wen Lan struggled until 3 AM, when he finally managed to get the crayfish clean.

He was so sleepy he could barely stand. He just piled the crayfish up haphazardly, took a shower, and went to his room to sleep.

When Bai Su arrived at her restaurant early in the morning, she saw that the general store across the street had opened. In front of the shop, a little bunny was hopping and skipping, playing hopscotch.

’It was painfully cute.’

Bai Su smiled. Just as she was about to get closer, she suddenly felt an incredibly intense gaze on her.

She snapped her head up and saw Wen Lan in the second-floor window of the general store, staring at her expressionlessly while drinking a nutrient drink.

The packaging looked like it was yogurt-flavored.

He was biting the straw, his expression gloomy. From the downward angle of the second floor, his eyelids drooped, his long lashes casting shadows under his eyes, making him appear all the more heartless and cold.

Bai Su: "..."

’If he’d first smoothed down his messy bed-head and gotten rid of the red sleep crease by his eye, his glare might have had a little more impact.’

Wen Xiaobao had clearly seen Bai Su too. Her eyes lit up, and she bounded over. "Auntie!"

The little one adored Bai Su.

The last time Wen Dabao was on a mission that took her through the Snow Country Imperial City, she had begged her sister to find Auntie and buy a box of strawberry pudding.

It was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten!

She could never get enough of it.

Unfortunately, her dad didn’t like this auntie, and he didn’t allow them to like her either.

Her big sister didn’t like this auntie either.

They wouldn’t tell her why; they just wouldn’t let her get close.

A little charm latched onto Bai Su’s leg, and her heart completely melted.

’The little one came to me on her own,’ she thought. ’It’s not like I lured her over.’

’Even if Wen Lan gets mad, he can’t blame me for this. Otherwise, I’ll smash his stupid face in!’

Bai Su ignored the icy glare from the second floor that was sharp enough to feel, scooped the little snow mochi dumpling up into her arms, and planted a big kiss on her cheek. "Good morning, little darling."

Wen Xiaobao’s little face flushed, and she shyly gave Bai Su a kiss on the cheek in return. "Good morning, Auntie."

Bai Su was satisfied. Even if that dumbass Wen Lan jumped down right now, pointed at her nose, and called her a child snatcher, she felt like she could smile and forgive him.

And then, Wen Lan’s tail wrapped nimbly around the second-floor balcony railing, and he leaped down as smoothly as silk right in front of her. He snatched the little snow mochi dumpling away and pointed his straw at her grimly. "Kidnapper. Don’t make me call the police."

Wen Xiaobao timidly tugged at his collar. "Daddy, I was the one who wanted to play with Auntie..."
