Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: A Stroll in the Rain

Su Qinglan stepped out of the treehouse, dusting her hands casually as if she had not just tied someone up like a dumpling and threatened them with death a moment ago.

The hide curtain behind her swung shut, and the cold ruthless expression she had been wearing instantly disappeared like it had never existed.

As soon as she saw Han Jue leaning lazily beside the tree trunk, arms crossed and expression calm like he was simply enjoying the breeze, her whole personality flipped.

She turned into that bubbly, cheerful girl again, the one who looked soft enough to melt in someone’s hands, and she practically skipped toward him before hooking her hand around his arm.

"Han Jue, did you get bored?" she said with a smile, leaning close to him and shaking his arm lightly.

"Do not worry, my mother is very good. Nothing happened at all." She blinked her long eyelashes at him with that pitiful, innocent look that made her appear like the sweetest person in the whole tribe.

She even added a soft little whine to make herself look extra delicate, like she was completely harmless and the purest female alive.

Han Jue had to bite his tongue not to laugh out loud. The contrast was too much. He had heard thuds from inside. He had also seen her earlier expression that could scare a grown orc into running for his life.

And now she was blinking those pretty eyes at him like a tiny fox pretending to be a fluffy rabbit.

He looked down at her clinging to him, her cheeks puffed slightly and her eyes shining, and he felt his heart soften so quickly he wondered if his bones had melted.

He thought, truly amazed, that his female was not only cute and beautiful but also a little fox spirit in disguise.

He had never seen this side of her before. This fake pitiful look she was giving him was so adorable that he almost leaned down right there and kissed her soft lips.

"How can someone be this cute?" he muttered under his breath without even realizing it.

But Su Qinglan was actually nervous inside. Her hand holding his arm was a bit tight because this was the first time she had shown her ruthless side in front of any of her males, even if he had not seen it directly.

She did not want to be seen as a bad female. She did not want to be judged or disliked.

In this world, females were supposed to be soft, gentle, kind, and fragile, and she was not always that. She could be soft and cute, yes, but she could also turn into someone extremely dangerous when pushed.

And she really did not want Han Jue or any of them to think she was evil or heartless. Losing her family was something she could not even imagine. That fear made her slightly anxious even though she was acting perfectly cheerful outside.

That was also why she did not let him enter the treehouse earlier. She did not want him to see the old hag tied up like a roll of meat, nor did she want him to see the expression she had while beating her.

She thought at least this way he might only hear some bits and pieces but not witness the full terrifying version of her.
