Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: A Slap That Hit the Spot

"Are you hungry? I can go get some food for you."

Li Chenlin stared at her for a long moment, then his large hand suddenly clamped around her wrist.

He opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and bit two holes into her wrist, injecting his venom.

"Ngh..." Bai Su’s face paled from the pain. She instinctively raised her hand to struggle, slapping him hard across the face. "What are you doing?"

The system shouted excitedly, ’It went up! It went up! The affection score increased!’

Bai Su: ’...’

’I think I know how to raise his affection score now.’

Li Chenlin grimly touched the spot where he’d been hit. His gloomy, morbid snake-like eyes stared at her unblinkingly. "This is to prevent you from calling the police when you go down to get food. My venom is in your body. If I don’t give you the antidote within an hour, you’ll die."

Bai Su pressed her lips together, looking at him with a hint of anger. "I was trying to help you out of kindness, and you repay me with malice?"

Furious, she raised her hand and slapped him again.

Li Chenlin’s snake-like eyes instantly narrowed into vertical slits. His body shot upright, standing tall before her like a serpent. "You’re courting death!"

’No female had ever dared to lay a hand on him. Did this little rabbit not know who she was hitting?’

Bai Su was completely unafraid. "You’re exactly who I’m hitting!"

If the system hadn’t chimed in again to tell her his affection score had increased, she would have been terrified by this gloomy, pathologically possessive pervert in front of her.

She clutched the spot where he’d bitten her, snorted coldly, and turned to go downstairs to prepare food.

Only Li Chenlin remained in the room.

Only then did he finally relax completely. He touched the spot where he’d been slapped, his shoulders suddenly shook, and he let out a low chuckle.

The scent of honey peach still lingered in the air.

Bai Su figured the father and son’s tastes should be similar.

Bai Xiaolang liked to eat things like beef and lamb, and so did Lu Tingyan.

’Bai Xiaoshe likes all kinds of eggs. Maybe Li Chenlin does too?’

Bai Su suddenly realized—the man in her room was Bai Xiaoshe’s biological father. They had even fought in the forest before!

’I wonder if they recognized each other.’

Bai Su pressed her lips together and decided not to bring any of this up for now.

Bai Xiaoshe had only just opened up to her that night. She needed to play it safe for a bit.

Bai Su took some quail eggs and chicken eggs from the refrigerator. After a moment’s thought, she also took out some lamb and pigeon meat.

’He needs to ward off the cold. Eating some lamb and pigeon meat would be best.’

She got to work immediately.

Bai Su rolled up her sleeves and quickly made hot and sour quail eggs, hot and sour fried eggs, grilled lamb, crispy braised pigeon, and a lamb stew.

’Given Li Chenlin’s build, he’d probably eat several pounds of food.’

Bai Su took a deep breath, placed all the food on a tray, and brought it back to the room.

’Damn masochist. If it weren’t for the fact that he’s Bai Xiaoshe’s father, I’d never let him eat in my bedroom!’

Bai Su stood at the bedroom door, composed her expression, and went in carrying the food.

An overwhelming smell assaulted her nose, and her expression couldn’t help but darken.

When Li Chenlin saw her arrive, his expression remained unchanged. He said lazily, "Just put it down."

With a dark expression, Bai Su was stuck, not knowing whether to enter or retreat.

Thinking of the children in the house, she had no choice but to close the door.

’I can’t let the children see that we have a neurotic snake in the house, can I?’

Bai Su placed the food on the coffee table beside her, deliberately avoiding looking in his direction. "Um... when you’re... you’re done, remember to eat."

Li Chenlin was radiating a dangerous aura.

Bai Su had no intention of staying long. Fear of snakes is instinctual, and even if he was incredibly handsome, she still couldn’t shake the innate terror in her bones.

She turned to leave too quickly. It was hard to say if it was her own carelessness or the snake tail’s intention.

Her foot tripped on his snake tail, and she inexplicably fell into his arms.
