Their injuries had been so severe, he’d thought he would find their corpses when he came back.
But seeing them all so full of life now, he wondered if that night had just been a dream.
’Who in the world healed them?’
’Even an S Class Healing Doctor couldn’t have restored their severely damaged spiritual power so quickly.’
Bai Chaosi walked over, ignoring Gu Fangqi.
He only had eyes for Shen Yue. He was still dressed in a white robe, as pristine as ever, with a gentle smile on his warm face.
He held a pair of freshly-made chopsticks in his hand.
"I’m back. Look, I made these!"
"What do you think? They should be good enough to eat with, right?"
His gentle smile momentarily dazzled Shen Yue. She remembered the sight of him that night—unconscious, injured, and covered in blood—and compared it to the man standing before her now.
’Thank goodness.’
’They’re all safe.’
She looked at the chopsticks he offered her and nodded.
"You did a great job. They’ll work perfectly!"
Mu Silin, holding a bamboo tray, shot Gu Fangqi a look.
Then his eyes shifted to Si Bao in Shen Yue’s arms.
He understood everything in an instant and went straight for the jugular.
"I thought you left. What are you doing back here?"
Gu Fangqi: "..."
’I came back to claim my son.’
Ye Lüqi put down the bamboo stalk he was holding and chimed in,
"You left, and now you’re back. Don’t tell me you’re here to snatch the kid!"
Lan Cangyue looked at Gu Fangqi and commented coolly,
"So, you’re Si Bao’s Father? You certainly took your sweet time getting here. I was starting to think you wouldn’t show up at all."
’We’ve been here for so long, and this man is only just now tracking them down. Looks like aside from some flashy fur, he’s not all that impressive!’
Gu Fangqi was hit with a barrage of sarcastic remarks and hostile glares. He was annoyed, but also momentarily baffled.
’Judging by their tone, did they come looking for her too?’
’And just happened to get here before I did?’
’And why do I get the feeling they’re not happy to see me back?’
’I’m the one who saved them, for crying out loud!’
’No, wait a minute. That means last night I saved my own son... and my own woman!’
’It must be fate. I just happened to be passing by and ended up saving my own wife and child.’
’If I hadn’t shown up, would something have happened to them?’ A sudden wave of fear washed over him.
’Hang on... The reason they’re being so hostile... could it be they’re afraid I’ll compete with them for her?’
He froze. ’Could it be that these men, like me, aren’t her Beast Husbands? Are they just the children’s fathers?’
After Gu Fangqi had rescued Mu Silin and the others at Shen Yue’s request, they had fallen unconscious from their severe injuries.
When they woke up, Shen Yue simply told them that their rescuer had already left.
They had also gathered from what Shen Yue said that this man was likely Si Bao’s Father.
At the time, they had wondered why he would leave. He had seen Si Bao, he was right there, and he had even saved them. So why turn around and go?
’Could it be that he didn’t even want to acknowledge his own son, Si Bao?’
But now he had returned, giving them every reason to believe he was here to steal Shen Yue away from them.
True, he had saved them from the men in black and spared their lives.
But that was a separate matter.
They could be grateful, but they wouldn’t let him steal their Female Master.
They had stood by her for so long, almost sacrificing their lives, yet none of them had secured the title of Beast Husband. If this wolf came along, he might ruin the relationship they had worked so hard to build with Shen Yue.
Once Gu Fangqi figured out what was going on, he wasn’t about to let them push him around.
"What are you talking about? My child and my child’s female mother are both mine. It was only a matter of time before I came for them!"
Shen Yue’s mouth twitched.
’His?’
’He certainly changed his tune fast!’
’I don’t believe for a second he came looking for us. He was just passing through.’
