Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Conflicted Li Chenlin

"We were in the right to begin with. If the leader still won’t release them, then we’ll handle it according to the law!"

"I’d like to see which of the Federation’s laws says that a mistake made by Bai Xue warrants detaining both her and her child for this long!"

The morning light was already visible on the mountaintop. It was late October, nearly November.

In the northern Federation, the weather turned cold early, and it was even more so on the mountain.

In the late October weather, Bai Su wore a sweater and still needed a thick, padded jacket over it to stay warm.

’I spoke too soon,’ she thought.

The restaurant wouldn’t be able to stay open until the end of the year.

The Federation was also known as the Snow Country. Being located in the north, the mountaintop would start seeing snow by mid-November.

Although Lu Tingyan had repaired the mountain road, it would still be unsafe when covered in heavy snow.

’I’ll keep the restaurant open until next month, then close for the season,’ she thought. ’I can reopen next year when spring comes and the weather warms up.’

It wasn’t like she was really doing it for the money, anyway.

Even if she closed the restaurant, she could still livestream and teach people how to cook.

Bai Su stomped her feet to warm them up, then went into the kitchen and turned on the heat.

Lu Tingyan, worried she would be cold, had installed underfloor heating in the courtyard and rooms long ago, so it wasn’t actually that cold inside.

She started her livestream, set up the camera to the side, and began preparing her ingredients.

The stream comments were projected onto the wall in front of her.

People quickly flooded in.

[Boss Lady, you’re up so early!]

[YAWN. Getting up so early in this cold weather. I feel so bad for our little rabbit boss lady.]

[That’s so tough. I’m still surfing the web tucked in my bed.]

[Is the temperature on the mountaintop even lower?]

Bai Su laughed. "It’s okay. When you’re doing something you love, it doesn’t feel like hard work."

A comment asked: [Boss Lady, watching you chop vegetables is so therapeutic! Are there any tricks to dicing radishes? When will I ever be as smooth as you?]

Bai Su gave a gentle reminder, "There’s no need to rush when chopping vegetables. You’ll get the hang of it with practice. Just be careful not to cut your hands. It’s okay to go slow."

Comment: [Awww, okay, thank you, Boss Lady! You’re so sweet!]

Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen.

Li Chenlin stared grimly at the livestream, his eyes filled with the rage of being toyed with.

His mind endlessly replayed Bai Su’s bone-chilling words before she jumped off the ship, and the image of her exploding in front of him.

’He didn’t want to admit it, but even though he had never been toyed with like this before, his first thought upon learning she wasn’t truly dead had been wild elation.’

But that was immediately followed by the humiliation and fury of being played for a fool.

No female had ever dared to humiliate him like this!

’Am I some kind of worthless person?’

’Do I really have to have her and no one else?’

Li Chenlin shot a dark look at his silent assistant. "Go find me some females! Now!"

He refused to believe it. Without Bai Su, there were still so many gentle and lovely females in the world.

’Who the hell does she think she is? Does she really think I can’t live without her?’

The assistant quickly gathered the remaining females on the ship, telling them their big chance had arrived. If they wanted to climb into Li Chenlin’s bed, this was their one and only opportunity.

Although the females were still afraid of Li Chenlin, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.
