Lu Tingyan rubbed her rabbit ears, his eyes filled with heartache. "Susu... don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you take care of the matter with Yelias..."

Otherwise, he would be a completely useless Beast Husband.

He hadn’t been able to protect his future wife, letting her get kidnapped and trapped on a cruise ship for days. And now, he couldn’t even find a doctor to help her get her womb back.

His rough fingers massaged her temples.

Bai Su squinted her eyes in comfort. She could actually sense his mood. "Lu Tingyan, you don’t have to be so cautious around me."

As Lu Tingyan massaged her temples, his lowered eyelids hid the flickering emotions in his eyes. "Susu, please let me do something to help you. Otherwise, I can’t convince myself that I deserve to stay by your side."

’There isn’t another female this wonderful in the entire Federation.’

’If I can’t help her with anything, what right do I have to stay with her?’

Bai Su sighed softly and turned to bury her face in his chest. "Why can’t you stay with me? Isn’t the fact that I like you enough of a reason for you to stay?"

Lu Tingyan’s body stiffened slightly, his face a mixture of emotions, feeling as though he didn’t deserve her.

Bai Su knew he wouldn’t be able to get over his own mental block if she didn’t let him feel useful.

So she had to say, "It’s not just me who needs you, the children need you too. Like you said, I can’t give them a complete upbringing all on my own, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Tingyan quickly replied, "I will definitely help you raise the children well. You can rest assured, Susu."

Bai Su looked at him, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "Well, there you go."

She thought for a moment, then said suddenly, "Speaking of which, there’s something I wanted to tell you..."

Lu Tingyan looked at her gently. "Go ahead."

Bai Su: "While I was on the ship, my heat started."

Lu Tingyan guessed what she was about to say and hugged her. "It’s okay, Susu. As long as you’re safe and healthy, that’s all that matters."

This kidnapping by Li Chenlin had also made him understand completely that he alone wasn’t nearly enough to protect Bai Su.

As long as Bai Su was safe, he could accept her having a few more Beast Husbands.

Bai Su looked at him teasingly. "That’s it? Is that what you really think? You’re not jealous?"

Lu Tingyan’s tail and ears drooped. "Of course I’m jealous..."

He looked at his little rabbit seriously, his expression firm and strong. "But Susu, more than my own feelings, I want you to have more safety and security. As long as you’re safe, and something like being kidnapped and having your life threatened never happens again, my feelings aren’t important at all."

Bai Su marveled once again. ’Lu Tingyan’s husbandly virtues are impeccable.’

She felt a little embarrassed. She asked again, "So you don’t mind that Li Chenlin and I mated on the ship?"

Lu Tingyan’s serious expression crumpled again. "I mind..."

He buried his face in the crook of her neck, his muffled voice tinged with grievance. "I mind like hell..."

"But in that situation, if you went into heat and didn’t get any relief, your life would have been in danger. I don’t want you to die, Susu..."

Bai Su’s heart melted when she detected the trembling, tearful quiver at the end of his sentence.

She was always a sucker for a soft approach. "Alright, don’t be sad. I’m fine now, aren’t I?"

"Mmm..." Lu Tingyan nodded sullenly, nuzzling the crook of her neck. The movement was full of dependence.

Just like a big, aggrieved puppy trying to get some affection.

Bai Su rubbed his wolf ears. "Don’t be sad. You don’t need to rush things with Yelias. Just keep a close watch on Bai Xue, okay?"

She guessed that she would have to contact Yelias and find a way to resolve his emotional hang-ups before he would be willing to enter the operating room again to perform the transplant for her.

Lu Tingyan took a deep breath. "Okay..."

At the mention of Bai Xue, his expression turned serious again. "Susu, there’s been some movement regarding Bai Xue lately. I might need to figure out a way to handle it."

Bai Su: "What’s wrong?"

Lu Tingyan: "Bai Xue revealed that she has a foreknowledge superpower. It’s already alerted several tribal leaders and the Female Protection Institution."

"According to the regulations, females with superpowers cannot be executed, so I’m holding her in another secret prison."

"But the Bai Family might make a move soon to try and get her on their side. Although I’ll increase security measures here, you still need to be on high alert. Try to stay away from strangers, understand?"

Bai Su nodded obediently. "Okay."

Lu Tingyan kissed her forehead. "Don’t worry. If Bai Xue dares to do anything to hurt you, I won’t let her off. The only reason we’re keeping her alive now is because she’s carrying your womb."

’Once the surgery is over and the dust settles...’

’...I will kill that vicious female and avenge Bai Su.’

But he didn’t plan on telling Bai Su any of this.

’My little rabbit only needs to focus on doing whatever she wants, without a care in the world.’

Bai Su nodded and opened her arms to him. "I’m ready."

Lu Tingyan picked her up, wrapped her in a bath towel, dried her off, and helped her into a clean set of pajamas.

Bai Su rubbed her stomach. "I’m a little hungry. I’m going to the kitchen to find something to eat. Do you want anything?"

Lu Tingyan: "What do you want to eat? I’ll go get it for you."

Bai Su: "No need, I’ll go see for myself. I’ll eat whatever’s in the fridge."

Lu Tingyan could only nod and put her down.

As night deepened, faint silhouettes could be seen quietly approaching through the forest.

Lu Tingyan’s eyes darkened. Without alerting Bai Su, he turned and walked to the window, only to see that the two little ones, Bai Xiaolang and Bai Xiaoshe, had already deftly hopped over the wall.

He paused for a moment, then decided to let them handle it.

’Young beasts need to experience more battles to grow up quickly and master the skills for survival.’

There were quite a few Death Warriors in the forest, clearly all headed for the restaurant.

Bai Xiaolang and Bai Xiaoshe exchanged a look, made a small gesture, and nodded in tacit understanding.

Bai Xiaoshe unleashed his Skill, Poison Gas Bomb. A toxic mist rapidly spread through the ring of forest surrounding the restaurant.

From the dark canopies of the trees, paralyzed figures began to fall one after another.

He then used his nimble tail to coil around them all and pile them together.

Bai Xiaolang unleashed his Skill, Tearing Space. A long, dark wolf’s claw slashed across the bodies of the men.

Blood splattered. Before they could even scream, they were swallowed by the torn space, and even their bodies vanished without a trace.

Bai Xiaoshe: "Aren’t you going to leave one alive for Father to interrogate?"

Bai Xiaolang: "We don’t need to guess to know who sent them. Let’s go. We’ve cleaned up, time to head back."

Bai Xiaoshe nodded.

The two of them stepped into the courtyard, still exuding a murderous aura, only to see Bai Su walking out of the kitchen with a steaming glass of milk.

The three of them ran into each other on the spot. Upstairs, a glint of mischief flashed in Lu Tingyan’s eyes as he leaned against the balcony to watch the show.

Bai Xiaolang shot his unreliable father a harsh glare.

Bai Su looked at the two little ones in surprise. "Where have you two been? It’s so late."

Bai Xiaolang: "We went down the mountain to play with some friends."

Bai Xiaoshe: "We went to the back mountain to pick wild fruit."

They hadn’t coordinated their stories and were exposed on the spot.

Lu Tingyan: "Tch..."

Bai Su looked at them suspiciously. "Hmm? Where did you really go? It’s so late, pitch-black outside, and so cold, yet you’re wearing so little?"

The two little ones were even wearing the fluffy bunny slippers she had bought for them. They looked for all the world like they had just rushed out of the house.

Bai Xiaolang quickly stopped Bai Xiaoshe, then turned to Bai Su and scratched his head in a cute and well-behaved manner. "Actually, we were helping a vulture back to its nest. An injured vulture just landed on our windowsill, so we bandaged it up and took it home."

Hearing this, Bai Su shot them an amused glare. "Weren’t you cold? Hurry up and get inside."

The two little ones quickly scampered inside.

Watching the two little ones’ childish and cute backs, Bai Su couldn’t help but feel emotional.

’My cubs are so sweet, cute, and kind.’
