113: Chapter 113 Grinning

It came out of nowhere, catching her completely off guard.

After realizing what was happening, she immediately forced a smile that looked as natural as possible, "I won't take sides. How about I just slap myself instead?"

Bai Wanwan's words earned her a cold glance from Zhu Xiu, "You're protecting him that much?"

"Isn't that also protecting you?"

She immediately put on a beaming smile, took his arm, and ushered him into the house, "The food is ready, go sit down."

After Zhu Xiu strode into the house, Bai Wanwan immediately turned her head and winked at Xin Feng, who was behind her.

Didn't these two usually get along quite well?

How could a Male as patient and tolerant as Xin Feng end up arguing with Zhu Xiu?

Seeing her expression, Xin Feng smiled faintly, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing."

Bai Wanwan immediately lowered her voice, "He didn't look like it was nothing just a moment ago."

"He just hasn't figured things out yet."

As long as he can't bear to see Wan Wan sad or suffer, he will figure it out sooner or later.

After saying this, Xin Feng touched her shoulder and stepped into the Stone House first.

Bai Wanwan was completely confused but followed him inside.

Both Males remained silent; just sitting there quietly, Zhu Xiu gave off a very intense, murderous aura.

Something was wrong, very wrong!

But she was never one to be stubborn, so she simply pretended not to notice and went in to tease The Cubs.

"The Cubs, are you hungry?"

The Wolf Cub, having just been startled, immediately whined "woo-woo" and burrowed into its Mother's arms.

Although Bai Wanwan's gaze was on The Cubs, her attention remained fixed on the outside.

She pricked up her ears and gave a soft "shh" to The Cubs, wanting to hear what the two Males would say so she could identify the root of their conflict and resolve it by dealing with each one individually.

As it turned out, she listened for a long time, but the two Males didn't say a single word.

Just sitting there?

After dawdling for ten or twenty minutes, guessing that the food was ready, she couldn't stall any longer.

After tossing some meat chunks to The Cubs, she walked out.

"Why are you just sitting there? Hurry up and eat! The food is ready."

She took a small stone basin from the side and bent down to scoop the food from the pot.

"I'm dishing some out to take to Shi Hua and Aunt Lu. You two go ahead and eat; don't wait for me."

She said this with a cheerful smile, then fished out four or five sweet potatoes and potatoes from the fire, picked up the stone basin, and slipped away quickly.

Once she was gone, Xin Feng turned to Zhu Xiu and said, "You scared Wan Wan."

"It's good that she's scared. If I were to indulge her the way you do, by the time the house is full of Beast Husbands, would she even notice you?"

Xin Feng's hand, resting on his knee, tightened.

He could not care about anything else, but there must be a place in Wan Wan's heart that belonged to him.

Seeing Xin Feng's reaction, Zhu Xiu continued, "If you can't accept that, then remember: don't let other Males get close to her easily in the future, and definitely don't think about finding more Beast Husbands for her."

What the two Males didn't know was that after Bai Wanwan finished delivering the items to Aunt Lu's house, she was intercepted by another Male.

Yan Lie was all smiles, looking at her with intense eyes, "I haven't seen you for several days. Did they give you any trouble?"

"No trouble. Why are you still here? Aren't you afraid of being caught by the people of the Black Dog Tribe?"

She had been living outside with Zhu Xiu for several days; she hadn't expected this Male to still be lurking in the Black Dog Tribe.

He looked completely unconcerned, "They can't catch me; I just don't want to cause trouble."

After saying this, seeing that Bai Wanwan was carrying quite a few things, he offered to help.

"Let me help you."

Without waiting for her to refuse, Yan Lie took them from her on his own.

"How long have you been out? Aren't you going back yet?"

Yan Lie stared at her with burning eyes. In the past, all Females looked the same to him, but for some reason, every expression and every movement of this Female stirred his heart, making her completely different from other Females.

If he hadn't met her, he certainly wouldn't have stayed in this place for so long.

Having finally found a Female he liked, he wouldn't leave now, no matter what.

"My Mother and Beast Husband have many Cubs, and they don't like me, so it doesn't matter whether I go back or not."

He put on a pitiful expression, yet he happened to have a fresh, clean-cut, handsome face, so any expression he made looked good and not greasy.

Bai Wanwan's gaze swept over his face.

With such a likable face, his parents didn't like him?

Seeing her staring at him, the tips of Yan Lie's ears turned red.

"I have nowhere to go. Can I follow you?"

This time, he chose to be a bit more indirect; only by staying by her side would he have a chance to become her Beast Husband.

"You better get that idea out of your head right now."

The two Beast Husbands at home were just arguing; if she brought another one back, was she trying to add fuel to the fire?

"Why?"

Yan Lie's mouth turned down, unwilling to give up.

"There are no 'whys' about it."

By this point, they had arrived at Shi Hua's house.

"Give me the things, thanks."

Yan Lie held the stone basin, not wanting to let go, but seeing her raise an eyebrow at him, he had no choice but to release it.

A look of disappointment appeared on his clean, sunny face.

Bai Wanwan had originally intended to leave heartlessly, but after hesitating, she still took one potato and one sweet potato from the bamboo basket and handed them to him.

"Here, take this. Thanks for last time. Peel them before eating; they're delicious."

Without waiting for Yan Lie to react, she stuffed the sweet potato and potato into his hands and turned to leave.

Yan Lie seemed not to feel the heat of them in his hands; he grinned, revealing a bright and dazzling smile, and watched Bai Wanwan leave.

In fact, it was only a few steps away.

"Shi Hua…"

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to step into Shi Hua's house, a tall Male walked out from inside.

Bai Wanwan was startled, "Oh my god!"

The Male only glanced at her, his face full of rage, and strode away.

Bai Wanwan really hadn't expected a Male to come crawling out of Shi Hua's house.

She quickly carried the stone basin inside and immediately saw Shi Hua with her back to her.

"Shi Hua?"

Shi Hua was facing away from her and gave a "hmm" with a heavy nasal tone.

After standing there for a while longer, she turned back around.

Her eyes were extremely red, and the tears in them hadn't completely dried yet.

Bai Wanwan immediately placed the things she was holding onto the Stone Stool nearby.

She walked over, grabbed Shi Hua's hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Was it that Male from just now who bullied you?"

Shi Hua immediately shook her head, "No, it wasn't."

Seeing her frightened expression, Bai Wanwan felt even more certain that it was possible.

"Don't be afraid. If he really bullied you, I'll have my Beast Husband beat him back for you."

She didn't have a good reputation in the Black Dog Tribe anyway, so being a notorious bully would ensure that neither she nor Shi Hua would be bullied.

During the days she hadn't been in the Tribe, she owed it to Shi Hua for helping take care of her Cubs.

In her heart, Shi Hua could already be considered a trusted friend.

"Sister, he really didn't bully me."

"Look at yourself, with your face full of grievance—who would believe that? Don't worry, I promise to make him walk the other way whenever he sees you in the future."

Bai Wanwan was about to turn around and go back to complain to her Males.

Shi Hua grabbed her hand from behind, "Don't... don't go."

Bai Wanwan turned back, looking at Shi Hua's pleading expression as she refused to let go, when suddenly she had a flash of intuition...
