Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Chapter 179: Daddy, You’re Crying

Bai Su froze as well and said awkwardly, "Did I... come at a bad time?"

Wen Dabao, who was playing a game with her back to them, also froze.

Three seconds later.

Wen Dabao dropped her terminal, covered her face, and bolted into a second-floor bedroom at the speed of light.

Bai Su was speechless. ’What in the world just shot past me?’

The corner of Wen Lan’s mouth twitched.

Hiding behind the second-floor curtains, Wen Dabao frantically blinked at Wen Lan.

Wen Lan fought the urge to roll his eyes. He shot Bai Su an irritated glance. "Miss Bai, you seem to have a fondness for trespassing. Do it again, and I’m calling the police."

The corner of Bai Su’s mouth twitched. For Wen Xiaobao’s sake, she held her tongue. "I’m here to see Little Treasure."

"I heard she took a day off school today, and I was worried she might be sick, so I brought some dinner over to check on her."

"Is she okay?"

A surprised and childish voice called out from behind her, "Pretty Auntie!"

Wen Xiaobao had just gotten home from school. She trotted over, her little backpack bouncing, and threw herself at Bai Su, hugging her legs.

Bai Su said in surprise, "But didn’t you take the day off school today?"

Wen Xiaobao blinked in confusion. "No, I was at school today."

Wen Lan was speechless.

’Is it too late to move to another planet?’

’No. Before I leave, I have to kill that damn woman, Bai Su, so she can’t laugh at me.’

Wen Xiaobao was very clever. Seeing her father’s expression, she quickly changed her story. "Um... I wasn’t feeling well, so Daddy took me to the hospital. I went back to school after I felt better."

Bai Su asked with concern, "What happened? Were you not feeling well?"

This time, Wen Xiaobao really didn’t know what to make up. A look of panic crossed her face.

Wen Lan pulled Wen Xiaobao behind him. "Miss Bai, my daughter’s well-being is none of your business. Leave now, or don’t blame me for using force."

After being provoked by him time and again, Bai Su was getting annoyed too. "Aren’t you Lu Tingyan’s cousin? Is this how you treat your cousin’s wife?"

Wen Lan raised an eyebrow. "A distant one."

Bai Su shot back, "I’m just concerned about the child, not you."

’She wanted to plant her hands on her hips and give Wen Lan a piece of her mind, to curse him out until he was blue in the face, but she couldn’t. Not with a child watching.’

Wen Lan remained unmoved.

Bai Su set the food down and turned to leave.

Seeing her disregard him, and noticing that Wen Xiaobao even looked sad to see her go, Wen Lan instantly blew a fuse. "Bai Su! Take your food and get out!"

He snatched the food container, closed the distance in a few quick strides, and grabbed Bai Su’s arm.

Her skin was smooth and soft to the touch, and he frowned involuntarily.

’Could an adult’s arm be this thin?’

’Wen Dabao could probably snap it in half.’

Bai Su wrenched her arm free. "It’s not for you!"

Wen Lan’s face darkened. "Don’t think you can win over my children this way."

Bai Su took a deep breath. "I don’t want to argue with you in front of a child."

She turned and walked away.

Wen Lan, left holding the food container, gritted his teeth as his expression grew even fouler.

’So only she knows how to think of the children?’

Only Wen Lan and Wen Xiaobao remained in the general store.

Wen Xiaobao took the food container from Wen Lan’s hands, carried it to the kitchen, and eagerly opened the lid. "Daddy, it’s time to eat!"

Wen Lan didn’t move, but Wen Dabao came rushing downstairs.

"It smells so good."

"Huh? Big Sis, you’re back so early today."

"I’m starving. What goodies do we have today?"

The two little ones completely ignored Wen Lan, leaving him standing stiffly by the door all alone.
