Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Chapter 202: Yelias Pretends to Be Sick

Bai Su had already deftly prepared the ingredients for the seafood stew, placing the food into the pot.

The people of the Sea Country were all feeling a bit guilty. Seeing Bai Su busy and ignoring them, many felt a pang of anxiety.

’Rushing into the livestream to attack Bai Su like that... it won’t affect the peace between our countries, will it?’

Bai Su glanced at the camera. "However, I’m still very grateful you all went against your own and voted for me during my competition with Rosa Meiya. Thank you, everyone."

That only made them feel more guilty.

They had no idea what had come over them that day. They had suddenly picked up their smart devices, suddenly opened the livestream, and suddenly started voting frantically for Bai Su...

By the time they came to their senses, their princess was already sitting in front of the camera, wailing.

Bai Su ignored the comments and focused on her work.

She had to go find Yelias after work and didn’t have the energy to deal with these tiresome people online.

Bai Su’s mind drifted to Yelias that morning, and she let out a soft sigh.

’I admit I have been neglecting Yelias a little lately,’ she thought. ’But he never complained, so I didn’t even notice.’

’Besides, so much has happened recently.’

’Lu Tingyan’s sudden seclusion, the visit from the Mermaid siblings, the unexpected appearance of the two children...’

’On the surface, I’ve been handling everything just fine, but only I know how lost I’ve truly felt.’

’If Yelias hadn’t said something, I probably still wouldn’t have thought to check in on him.’

A pang of guilt hit Bai Su.

After work, she didn’t rush to find Yelias. Instead, she first sent a message to Grandpa Yarco: [Grandpa, are you busy?]

[I have a little something I want to ask you.]

There was no reply.

Bai Su thought for a moment, then tried calling him.

Still no answer.

She paused. ’Maybe Grandpa Yarco went to inspect another project on the frontier. The signal might be bad.’

After some thought, she left a message for Grandpa Yarco: [Grandpa, I was wondering about Yelias’s tastes. Is there anything he particularly likes to eat, or anything he likes to collect?]

The reply came quickly this time: [He’ll like anything you prepare for him.]

Bai Su rubbed her nose. [Grandpa... I want to get to know him better.]

There was no reply for a while.

Just as Bai Su was about to give up, her smart device vibrated again.

[He likes sweets and fluffy little animals. He especially loves raising small rabbits. There’s not much else. His life is quite dull; most of his time is spent on medical research, so he doesn’t have many hobbies. He’s not like certain idle people who do nothing all day, cause trouble without cleaning up their own messes, and just wait for others to handle it. All they do is chase romantic notions and rack their brains trying to date. Susu, if you ever meet an irresponsible male like that, you must keep your eyes wide open and see him for what he is. Don’t be fooled.]

Bai Su broke out in a sweat after reading the long tirade.

’Why do I get the feeling that last part was about Li Chenlin...?’

’Did Yelias complain to his grandfather?’

’But he doesn’t seem like the type to tattle.’

Bai Su replied: [Okay, Grandpa. I understand.]

She picked out a sweet chocolate mousse cake and had Kong Ji take her to the research institute.

On the way, she stopped by a small shop and picked out a fluffy little rabbit brooch to bring with her.

’If I’m going to make it up to him, I should at least be sincere about it.’

Bai Su arrived at the Lanton Research Room with her gifts. It was two-thirty in the afternoon, and the researchers were getting back to work after their midday rest.

This wasn’t her first time here.

Carrying her gifts, she was the subject of stares from the staff all the way down the hall.

Bai Su pushed open the door to the core laboratory, finally shutting out the predatory gazes.

Yelias was in the laboratory, scolding two assistants who had made a mistake with the data. The moment he saw Bai Su walk in, his expression softened considerably.

He waved a hand. "Forget it. You two can go. Don’t make a mistake like this again."

The two assistants were dumbfounded, not expecting to be let off so easily. When they turned, they saw Bai Su had arrived.

They both breathed a sigh of relief, feeling eternally grateful to Bai Su as they clutched their data and beat a hasty retreat.
