Holding the egg in her arms, Bai Qingqingâs lips arched in a faint smile. She gently shook her head and said, âOther than today, itâs been fine. Itâs not tough at all.â
Looking at his mateâs gentle smile, Muir couldnât help but smile as well. He reached a hand into the blanket and held his mateâs hand which was caressing the birdâs egg.
Zhang Xin followed them to the entrance of the room. As Muir had been in too great a hurry, he had forgotten to close the door. The duoâs intimate interaction was seen by him.
If Bai Qingqing was with Muir, then what was the deal with that red-haired guy previously?
He suddenly felt that Bai Qingqingâs lifestyle was a bit wild and couldnât quite accept it. He shook his head and retreated a few steps.
Hearing the footsteps, Muir restrained his expression and got up to face Zhang Xin.
âThank you for sending my Qingqing back.â Muir didnât at all show a pleasant countenance towards Zhang Xin. As Bai Qingqingâs mate, Muir couldnât possibly show affection towards any males who were close to Bai Qingqing. Even if the male before him was a feeble human being.
Sensing Muirâs coldness, Zhang Xin didnât bother to act friendly and said coldly, âNo need to thank me. I was helping Bai Qingqing, not you.â
Muirâs countenance turned even colder, and he riveted his sharp gaze upon him.
Zhang Xin definitely wouldnât be able to withstand the oppressive aura of a stripeless beast. It was just that the blood of a beastman didnât flow in him, so he didnât go so far as to feel oppressed by Muirâs level. Though he was gripped by fear inside, he managed to maintain a calm facade.
Bai Qingqing naturally couldnât see the tension brewing between the two of them. She held Muirâs hand and shook it. âHelp me get him something to drink.â
âOkay.â Facing Bai Qingqing, Muirâs tone instantly became unbelievably gentle, forming a stark contrast with his cold demeanor a moment ago.
Zhang Xin said, âNo need.â
An inexplicable rage simmered in his heart. For the first time, he revealed an impatient tone at Bai Qingqing. âI need to get back to school. Iâll leave first.â
âMm,â Bai Qingqing responded and pushed Muir. âSend him out. Pay attention to the leopards. Wild beasts are wild beasts, after all. Youâve got to take note.â
âOkay, Iâll be right back,â Muir said gently. After covering her with the blanket properly, he got up to send Zhang Xin out.
Zhang Xin walked in front, and Muir caught up in a few strides. There was a huge difference between the physiques of a 16-year-old human and that of a mature male beastman, so their auras were starkly distinct too. One was like an elegant young man from a rich family, while the other exuded a powerful strength like a wild beast in a primitive forest.
Neither spoke along the way. After exiting the villa, Zhang Xin directly got into the car and instructed his chauffeur to drive off. Muir didnât bother to exchange pleasantries with him either and directly closed the door.
Although it wasnât tiring giving birth to an egg, it was as though the egg had extracted all her strength, causing Bai Qingqingâs body to feel completely devoid of energy.
She lazily lay on the bed and caressed the smooth eggshell. âAlthough Mommy is very surprised by your arrival, Mommy still likes you very much. Youâve got to break out of your shell quickly, okay?â
Muir, who happened to walk to the door, felt inexplicably touched when he heard that. He entered the room, sat on the floor beside the bed, and said, âYouâre not going to school these few days, are you?â
At the mention of this problem, Bai Qingqing looked troubled. As she hugged the egg, she said helplessly, âHow can I not go to school? If I skip school these few days, the teacher will definitely call my parents. How am I to explain to them?â
âBut youâve only just given birth to an egg. You wonât know when the next one is coming out.â Muir voiced his disagreement.
He couldnât quite understand the issues vexing Bai Qingqing and wholeheartedly tried to convince her.
