Beauty and the Beasts

After the agonizing cry, nothing was heard from Parker for quite a while. Feeling worried, Bai Qingqing entered his bedroom and saw the leopard laying on the ground like a corpse.

She kicked him in amusement, saying, “It’s fine. You’re not going to show others your leopard form. Only those in our family will know. It’ll be fine.”

But the only one he cared about was his mate! With his mate knowing about this, what more was there to live on in life?

The leopard on the ground was like a salted fish, his body moving a little each time he was kicked. His listless eyes looked fake.

Bai Qingqing watched on and then laughed. She sat down on the floor, leaned against him, then focused on laughing loudly.

Parker’s eyes moved toward his mate, feeling that the wound in his heart deepened.

Only after Bai Qingqing got tired from laughing and leaned on Parker to rest did he recover from the blow. He lay on the floor, turned into his human form, and said weakly, “I’ll be going out tomorrow and coming back 7 days later.”

“Why?” Bai Qingqing immediately straightened her expression. “Is it because of work?”

“En.” Parker turned and looked at the mirror, realizing that his human form still looked quite handsome. His confidence reestablished itself with great difficulty.

“Have you watched ‘Princess and Knight’ before? They say that it’s very popular now and are putting me in as a surprise guest. The filming will start officially on Monday and end next Sunday.” He had tried to reject this job but came back angrily after having a long argument with Xu Qiyang.

Although his mate was usually at school and he wouldn’t get to see her much, he’d feel more at ease closer to her.

However, after realizing how he looked in his leopard form, Parker changed his mind. He felt too embarrassed to remain in front of Qingqing.

However, Bai Qingqing was very happy and nodded, saying, “I heard about it from my classmates. I think many people watch it. Let me check it up.”

As Bai Qingqing said this, she took out her phone and quickly found the “Princess and Knight” show on a video application.

This was an outdoor program where the celebrities would fly everywhere across the globe, traveling to different places.

The participants included big shots over 40 years old as well as some young handsome male and adorable female celebrities. They were all celebrities who enjoyed great fame, to begin with.

Seeing that Parker would need to go overseas, she immediately got worried. “Parker, you might be going somewhere very far. Will it make you unable to sense me?”

Parker pouted in disdain, saying, “It’s fine. I’ve already decided. You don’t have to persuade me anymore.”

It was only seven days. Even if they were to keep on moving, how far could it be?

He could sense across a further distance now. Even if he were to run at full speed for seven days and seven nights, he wouldn’t lose the sense of his mate.

Moreover, the travel duration for the program was very short. It seemed that they were going to take some kind of flying chicken[1]. He felt that there was no way that a flying chicken could be faster than Muir. He’d only be flying for 12 hours, so there was no way that this would go beyond his acceptable range.

Therefore, without any mental burden, Parker made the decision that would put him through agony for a week.

Seeing that he didn’t mind this, and thinking of how Parker had gone through life without her for five years, Bai Qingqing felt that he should be able to handle it. Therefore, she didn’t try to persuade him any further.

“Alright, then. I’ll help you pack your clothes. Will you be leaving tomorrow? What time?” Bai Qingqing stood up and asked.

Parker replied with an “en” and said, “The flight will be at noon tomorrow.”

Seeing that his mate looked worried, Parker felt a little better. He then consoled her. “Don’t be sad. I’ll be back when you come back from school next week.”

“En.” Bai Qingqing hugged him, nudging her face against his chest. She then said, feeling worried, “Work more and talk less. Listen to other people’s arrangements and be careful not to give yourself away. And pay attention to your ears and tail. Don’t expose them.”
