Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 840

Chapter 840: Chapter 840: The Battle of the Little Brothers

By the time the meal was ready, the kitchen was already filled with a rich, intoxicatingly delicious aroma.

Su Qinglan had personally cooked a massive pot of hearty food alongside Hu Yan and Han Jue. The three of them had been busy for quite some time, preparing enough to feed the entire household and their growing family.

Just as Su Qinglan was about to bring the steaming dishes outside, a delighted, boisterous voice suddenly echoed from the courtyard.

"Sister!"

"I knew you were cooking something!"

The voice was brimming with pure excitement.

"I knew it! We are connected so well! I could already smell your cooking from far away, so I immediately rushed over to eat!"

Su Qinglan paused, her hands still holding a heavy wooden tray. She slowly turned her head toward the kitchen entrance.

Sure enough... Mo Xiaoli popped his head inside.

His chubby little face was flushed with excitement, his round eyes practically glowing like lanterns as he stared hungrily at the food. There was even a very suspicious amount of drool glistening at the corner of his mouth.

Su Qinglan’s lips twitched in amusement. She immediately walked over and pinched his chubby, soft cheeks between her fingers.

"So you only came here because you smelled the food, huh?"

Mo Xiaoli’s cheeks were squeezed together like a little bun, but he still nodded eagerly. "Mhm!"

Su Qinglan smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling. "Too bad. I didn’t cook anything for you."

Mo Xiaoli froze completely.

His entire little body stiffened up into a statue. His eyes widened in utter disbelief. He slowly, dramatically clutched his chest with both hands.

"Sister..." His voice trembled as if he were on the verge of tears. "My dear, precious big sister... Are you serious?"

Su Qinglan nodded with a straight face. "Of course."

Mo Xiaoli’s fragile little heart seemed to shatter into a thousand pieces. "How could you forget about your own sweet little brother?!"

Without a second thought, he immediately threw himself forward and wrapped his arms around her leg like a needy leech.

"Sister! Don’t you remember me?! Don’t you remember my love?!"

Su Qinglan stared down at the chubby little beast clinging desperately to her lower leg. She almost burst out laughing right then and there.

"Your love?"

"Yes!" Mo Xiaoli nodded with absolute seriousness, looking up at her with big, watery eyes. "I love you so much! I came all the way here just to eat your food!"

Su Qinglan raised a fine eyebrow. "So you only love me because of my food?"

Mo Xiaoli immediately shook his head vigorously. "No!" He paused, thinking for a fraction of a second, before carefully adding, "Well... that is also one of the main reasons."

Su Qinglan finally burst out laughing, shaking her head. "You hopeless little glutton."

Mo Xiaoli was just about to dramatically protest his innocence when Su Qinglan suddenly looked past his shoulder. Her eyes instantly brightened.

Standing quietly right behind Mo Xiaoli was a tiny, sleek little fox cub.

The little fox stood there silently, his coat soft and pristine. Unlike Mo Xiaoli, who had been throwing a noisy, chaotic fuss from the very second he arrived, the little fox hadn’t uttered a single sound.

He was simply staring up at Su Qinglan with a pair of large, innocent, clear eyes.

Su Qinglan’s heart immediately melted into mush.

"Come here," she cooed softly, taking a step forward.

However, Mo Xiaoli was still desperately clinging to her leg like an anchor. "Sister! Don’t ignore me! I am your only cute, precious little brother!"
