Beauty and the Beasts

Winston looked up at her, his face calm as usual, but there was a glow that hadn’t been there in the past. He didn’t dawdle and came over in big strides, taking a seat on her other side.

Bai Qingqing picked up her own serving of braised tenderloin starch noodles and ate happily.

She unconsciously noticed that what Winston ate was the worst part of the roasted meat, such as the flabby stomach, the lower thigh that didn’t have much meat, as well as ground meat.

In the past, Winston wouldn’t especially pick these areas.

Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but throw Parker a glance. She swallowed the meat in her mouth and then said to Winston, “Have some of the upper thigh meat.”

“That’s mine!” Before he could reply, Parker spoke up first and snatched away the roasted upper thigh meat that was on the other side.

Winston didn’t say a word. He bit onto a piece of soft meat and bit it off. The soft meat bounced and splattered a few drops of oil.

Usually, Parker would especially cut out such meat pieces to fry out the animal oil to go with her starch noodles.

Bai Qingqing felt perplexed when she said, “Eat the meat on the back. There’s still a lot.”

“They belong to the children.” Parker tore off another large piece of meat and threw it to the leopard cubs.

First, who ate the fastest, hiccuped. He shook his head, then walked over to the meat that was just tossed over and continued eating.

The other two seemed like they were about full as well, and were less fierce in eating. However, they weren’t willing to give up on the food that was placed right before them.

Bai Qingqing finally ascertained that Winston was really being deprived of food.

She had only come out from the tree hole today. Winston must have been eating these over the past few days. Sigh!

Bai Qingqing placed the bowl hard on the ground and said solemnly, “This can’t do!”

Parker threw a glance at her and tried hard to stuff meat into his mouth. His breathing became heavier, and his eyes seemed to gleam with moisture. It seemed as if there was something called “aggrieved” flowing out from them.

His fangs were faintly discernible as he chewed, and a semi-beast state was presented.

Bai Qingqing immediately knew that he was upset. Although she had no idea what was going on, she still softened her tone. “Don’t be like this. Can’t things be like in the past?”

Parker paused and turned his head to look straight at her. His face was all greasy as he asked, “Do you not like me the most now?”

“Huh?” Bai Qingqing found this strange. Did she hurt Parker when she raised her objection to his arrangements?

He threw Winston a sideways glance and said, “Only the male that the female likes the most has the right to be given priority to select food. Do you like him the most now to be giving him good food?”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

Winston’s hand tightened, and fatty oil was squeezed out from the meat in his hand. “It doesn’t matter which part I eat.”

Parker might misunderstand, but he wouldn’t. It was already very good that Qingqing didn’t remove the spousal mark given how he had become mates with her. How could he possibly yearn for her feelings?

Therefore, Winston felt that there wasn’t a need to fight over food. It was fine as long as he could get to eat.

When Parker heard his voice, he couldn’t help but growl. His voice passed through the food in his mouth and sounded blurry.

Bai Qingqing felt speechless for quite a while before she put her hand to her head and said, “That’s not it. I just want things to be like how it was in the past, to eat whatever we want to.”

As expected, things would go out of hand when the number of husbands increased. Thankfully, this was the last one.

“It’s only this?” Parker stared at Bai Qingqing doubtfully.

“Really!” Bai Qingqing nodded vigorously.

Parker’s expression loosened up, then he threw a glance at Winston, saying, “Since Qingqing has said that, you can eat whatever you want.”

In fact, it didn’t matter to him what part he ate. In the past, when he was alone, he would eat an entire prey by himself. How could there be any part which he hadn’t eaten before?
