Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Chapter 180: He’s Willing to Be Objectified, He Totally Loves It

Once the father and his two daughters had finished their roughhousing, Wen Lan finally threw back the covers and turned on the room light.

Wen Xiaobao sweetly hugged Wen Lan’s leg. "Dad, you’re the best! You’re the bestest dad in the whole world!"

Wen Dabao huffed beside them. "So childish! Playing the big bad monster at your age!"

Wen Lan contentedly hugged his two daughters; the man of the house, with his feet up, had finally regained some sense of security.

Wen Dabao tossed him a pack of tissues. "Wipe your nose. You just got snot all over me."

Wen Lan gave a soft hmph, too lazy to move.

Wen Dabao said, "I really don’t get what goes on in your head. Getting jealous of a woman like Bai Su? Do you really think we’re those kinds of ungrateful brats?"

Lying in Wen Lan’s arms, Wen Xiaobao quickly looked up upon hearing that. "Don’t worry, Dad. We’ll never leave you. Even if our birth mom comes to find us, we’ll still stay with you. You’ll always, always be the most important person to us!"

Wen Xiaobao was an expert at coaxing her dad.

A few sweet little words were all it took to get Wen Lan to beam with a smile.

He coolly cracked open an eye. "Really?"

Wen Xiaobao nodded forcefully. "Really!"

He then glanced over at Wen Dabao.

Wen Dabao nodded with a look of disdain. "Mhm..."

Wen Lan recalled how his two little ones had practically been entranced by that woman Bai Su’s food and asked worriedly, "What if Bai Su comes to cook for you every day? Can you resist liking her?"

The two little ones nodded firmly. "Yes!"

The furrow in Wen Lan’s brow eased by a third.

He asked again, "What if Bai Su is really nice to you every day, plying you with all sorts of delicious food, showering you with sweet concern, getting close to you, and wanting to be your best friend?"

The two little ones: "We still won’t like her!"

Wen Lan’s brow eased by another third.

He continued, "What if three men, just a little bit inferior to me, suddenly popped up and wanted to be your dads, and wanted to take you away with your birth mom? If you were with them, you’d not only have a mom, but three dads, and a bunch of lively brothers—a big, happy, warm family. Would you choose the big, warm family, or would you choose Dad?"

Without a second’s hesitation, the two little ones replied, "We choose Dad!"

Wen Lan’s heart was completely soothed. "Hmph. I guess you two have some conscience after all."

He reached out and pulled his two little ones into his arms, giving them a tight squeeze before planting a kiss on each of their cheeks. "The three of us are the closest people in the world. No one can tear us apart, and no one will ever abandon anyone!"

Wen Dabao: "Okay!"

Wen Xiaobao: "Okay!"

Wen Dabao looked up. "But... Dad, you are going to keep learning how to cook, right? I still want to eat spicy crayfish."

Wen Lan: "..."

Wen Dabao: "For our sake, can you lower your noble head and set aside your masculine pride to serve her hand and foot as her apprentice?"

Wen Lan: "..."

Wen Dabao: "You know, I left my mom when I was very young."

Wen Lan: "..."

「The next day.」

Wen Lan had already mustered the courage to stand at the restaurant’s entrance, but his attention was caught by the news playing on the public screens.

The news of the Deep Sea Mermaid Clan’s upcoming visit to the Snow Country was causing a huge stir.

Wen Lan frowned slightly. ’Doesn’t this mean my workload is going to increase again?’

He turned and went back to the general store, then opened his smart brain to search for news.

On the large floating TV on the first floor of Bai Su’s restaurant, a news report was playing.

In the video, the Mermaid Princess spoke confidently to the camera, "I’ve heard that the Snow Country Imperial City is full of elites. I’m going there, of course, to find a Beast Husband."

The reporter asked, "Do you have an ideal candidate for a Beast Husband in mind?"

The Mermaid Princess laughed freely. "Of course. I’m quite taken with Li Chenlin, who made a name for himself in the Southern Country a while back."

She paused, then smiled again. "Yelias of the Lanton Family isn’t bad either. My Sea Clan and the Lanton Family have always had deep collaborations on deep-sea research projects."

The reporter hadn’t expected her to call out those two. After a moment’s pause, he gave a strained laugh. "Mermaid Princess, you have a great sense of humor. As everyone knows, the Lanton Family’s heir, Yelias, is already Duke Bai Su of the Snow Country’s second Beast Husband. But the Lanton Family surely has many other men as outstanding as Doctor Yelias."

The Mermaid Princess smiled. "No. I only like Li Chenlin or Yelias."

The embarrassed reporter turned the camera to the male Mermaid beside her. "So, Your Highness the Prince, what are you looking forward to during your diplomatic visit to the Snow Country?"

Mirene offered a shy smile to the camera. "My goal is more specific than my sister’s. Your Grace, Duke Bai Su, I’ve already sent you gifts in your livestream to let you know we’d be meeting. I wonder if you’ve guessed who I am?"

Bai Su, watching this interview: "..."

Yan Qingya slammed her hand on the table. "Damn it! What’s wrong with that brother-sister duo? They want to take everything?"

Bai Su frowned slightly. Even through the screen, she could feel their hostile intentions.
