Beside them, Bai Jiayue rolled her eyes and gave Yan Tai a warning look. "Don’t you forget what you’re here to do!"

Yan Tai was getting agitated.

He was here on his father’s orders to trash the place.

But...

’It’d be such a shame to trash a restaurant with food this good.’

’I can’t bring myself to do it.’

Bai Jiayue saw the hesitation on his face and immediately grew furious. "Yan Tai! Are you going to defy your father’s orders?"

Yan Tai frowned slightly. "I..."

Bai Jiayue said, "Don’t forget, our goal is to rescue Bai Xue! Or do you no longer want a marriage alliance with a female from the Bai family?"

"If you can’t even handle a small thing like this, you still expect the Bai family to marry a female to you?"

Hearing this, the hesitation on Yan Tai’s face was instantly swept away.

He could still tell what was important and what wasn’t.

’Compared to the delicious food and the Healing Superpower, my marriage is obviously more important!’

The female population of the Lion Beastman clan was dwindling. This year, there were only three or four females left in the entire clan. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Only by marrying someone of the Bai family’s Lion Rabbit bloodline did they have a hope of birthing more females and ensuring the clan’s continuation!

Yan Tai nodded. "Don’t worry, I know."

Only then did Bai Jiayue nod in satisfaction.

Bablo brought out the second round of food, but he keenly noticed that the atmosphere at the table was no longer as relaxed as before.

He frowned discreetly, placed the dishes on the table, and quietly retreated.

Yan Tai looked at the table full of delicacies, and thinking of Bai Jiayue’s earlier threat, his appetite diminished by more than half.

’If it weren’t for the clan, I really wouldn’t want to deal with the Bai Family at all.’

’The females of the Bai family are all like this—always being killjoys, acting so high and mighty.’

’It was the same when I was pursuing Bai Xue.’

’Going out to have fun should be a happy occasion. Can’t everyone just enjoy themselves?’

Bai Xue would always wear a stern, lecturing expression, telling him not to get sidetracked by frivolous pursuits. It was always ’don’t do this,’ ’don’t do that,’ ’be more ambitious,’ ’work harder,’ ’train more.’

’So damn annoying.’

’I’m in the military; of course I train hard. Do I need someone else to tell me that?’

’But training is also about finding a balance between work and rest.’

’Since we’re all out to have fun, why can’t we just have fun?’

’They just have to be a buzzkill right when things are getting good, saying things that leave you speechless.’

’This old woman, Bai Jiayue, is just as much of a killjoy as Bai Xue.’

Fortunately, the food that arrived was intensely fragrant.

Yan Tai was only gloomy for a moment. After stuffing a piece of cumin lamb chop that was sizzling with rendered fat into his mouth, his bad mood was swept away once more.

’This food is truly magical.’

’I was clearly unhappy just a moment ago, but after eating this, I’m suddenly happy again.’

’There’s even an indescribable feeling of ease and joy. It feels so good.’

’It’s as if the food’s Healing Ability entered my body through my mouth, healing not just my body, but my mood as well.’

Yan Tai finished his food, and his mood brightened again.

’Such a great restaurant... that little female, honestly. Wouldn’t it be great if she didn’t oppose the Female Protection Institution and didn’t oppose the Bai family?’

’I’d definitely come here every day!’

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Yan Tai rubbed his belly and shot a look at his two subordinates.

The three men stood up, a vicious glint in their eyes. Just as they were about to sweep the plates from the table onto the floor, a crisp, clear voice sounded beside them. "How is everything? Is the food to your liking?"

They turned and saw a young female standing beside them, her face wreathed in smiles.

The young female wore a sweater dress, a pleated apron, and a pair of small white boots, the hem of her dress reaching her ankles.

Yan Tai had never seen such a beautiful female.

Her features weren’t the pale and plain type currently popular among females. Instead, her large eyes, high nose bridge, and full lips combined to create a rich and stunning appearance.

Her long hair was fashioned into a braid down her back, with small, floral tassels woven into it, making it look as if a flowering vine were growing from her plait.

Her fluffy, drooping ears were held back by her hair, wrapping around the back of her head and looking more like a pair of furry ornaments.

It gave her an air that was both gentle and playful.

The apron she wore was tied a bit tightly, outlining her perfect curves.

Full and curvaceous, she was exceptionally alluring.

Yan Tai stared at her, dumbfounded, his mind completely blank.

His two subordinates beside him weren’t doing much better.

Bai Jiayue felt a sense of disgust. ’So much flesh on her body. She’s nothing like the slender, delicate figure that’s in style. Simply vulgar!’

Seeing they didn’t answer, Bai Su smiled radiantly and asked again, "How is everything? Is the food to your liking?"

Yan Tai snapped out of his trance and nodded hastily. "Yes, yes! The food is delicious."

Bai Jiayue cleared her throat, giving him a subtle reminder from the side.

Bai Su’s smile widened. "That’s good to hear. This must be your first time here. I was worried you might not be used to the food."

Yan Tai was mesmerized by her smile, feeling half his body go weak. "We’re used to it, it’s delicious... So delicious..."

Bai Jiayue cleared her throat again, her face etched with displeasure.

Yan Tai didn’t notice her at all, staring infatuatedly at Bai Su. "You... You’re the proprietress?"

Bai Su smiled and nodded. "I am."

Yan Tai looked dazed. "If I’d known the proprietress was this beautiful, I wouldn’t have come to sma—MMph."

With quick eyes and nimble hands, Bai Jiayue shoved the lamb chop bone he had just finished gnawing on into his mouth. "Just eat!"

Only then did Yan Tai realize he had misspoken, and panic seized his heart.

’Good thing I didn’t let it slip. Otherwise, this little female would probably hate me.’

’I really don’t want such a beautiful female to hate me...’

Just as Bai Jiayue was about to take matters into her own hands, Yan Jiu suddenly ran in from outside and grabbed Yan Tai. "Brother! You haven’t done anything yet, have you?"

Yan Tai shook his head frantically. "No, no!"

With this interruption, Bai Jiayue didn’t get a chance to act either.

Yan Jiu hugged Yan Tai excitedly. "Brother! Our sister is pregnant! She’s two weeks along, and she just had a checkup. They said one of the fetuses is a female!"

"What?!" Yan Tai leaped to his feet in excitement. "For real?"

Yan Jiu grinned and nodded. "It’s true, it’s true! I came here specifically to tell you!"

Yan Tai let out a hearty laugh and started pulling him toward the door. "Let’s go, let’s go! I have to go see!"

Yan Jiu quickly pulled him back. "Wait! I’m not finished talking!"

Eager to see his sister, Yan Tai looked at him impatiently. "Why are you being so long-winded?"

Yan Jiu smiled and looked at Bai Su. "Speaking of our sister, we have Miss Bai to thank for this."

Watching this turn of events, Bai Jiayue’s heart sank.

Yan Tai froze for a second. "Miss Bai? You mean the proprietress? You know her?"

Yan Jiu smiled and nodded. "I ate here once before."

He looked at Bai Su. "Thank you, Miss Bai, for the food you prepared for my sister every day. Not only was her infertility cured, but she’s also having a child now!"

Bai Su was happy for them. "I’m glad she was cured. I suppose this resolves a great worry for your sister!"

Yan Jiu looked at her gratefully and thanked her again.

’It’s more than just resolving my sister’s great worry!’

’This is an event of unparalleled importance for the entire Lion Beastman clan!’

Bai Jiayue couldn’t help but roll her eyes from the side. "Maybe she healed on her own? How do you know it was Bai Su’s food that did it?"

"A problem that even doctors couldn’t fix was cured after eating a couple of her meals? At that rate, wouldn’t all the hospitals go out of business?"

"You’re males from the military, for goodness’ sake. How can you be so superstitious, believing these online rumors?"

Yan Jiu turned to look at her. "Whether it’s a rumor or not, shouldn’t you know better than I do? Vice President Bai, Bai Ruxin, also recovered her fertility. Or did you not know that?"

Bai Jiayue’s heart sank. ’Of course, I knew!’

’I just couldn’t believe Bai Su’s food could have such a powerful effect!’

But seeing the absolute certainty on the Yan Family members’ faces, she began to waver.

’Could it actually be true?’

’Bai Ruxin is the same age as me, old enough for menopause, yet she can get pregnant again.’

’Then, if I also came to eat Bai Su’s food a few times, could I also...?’
