AWB Chapter 255 Sneaky
Chapter 255 Sneaky
Ruan Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, gently stroked the little fox's fluffy head a few times with her fingers, and then gently placed him on the ground.
“If you want to see the cubs, go to the cub enclosure. They’re all there!” Her cool voice seemed devoid of any extra emotion.
Upon hearing this, Qi Heng became anxious. He looked like a wronged little fox crying after being bullied, letting out extremely aggrieved whimpers.
The voice seemed to possess an invisible magic, drilling straight into Ruan Xiyue's ears, making them feel numb.
Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but sigh inwardly: My God! Is this the legendary happiness of King Zhou of Shang?
That captivating voice seemed to bewitch one's very soul. One couldn't wait to ask him what he wanted and give it to him!
Ruan Xiyue shook her head helplessly, but in the end her heart softened. She picked up Qi Heng and carried him toward the cub room.
Qi Heng felt Ruan Xiyue's embrace and was filled with joy. He affectionately licked the cubs with his tongue, the gentle action as if showing Ruan Xiyue his tenderness and thoughtfulness.
Watching the heartwarming scene of Qi Heng interacting with the cubs, Ruan Xiyue suddenly felt that becoming partners with Qi Heng wasn't such a bad idea.
The fox cubs were so cute, like three miniature versions of little whimperers, that you couldn't help but want to protect them.
Sable cubs are also fluffy, with eyes full of curiosity and innocence, making them even more lovable.
Qi Heng keenly noticed the wavering in Ruan Xiyue's eyes, and he was overjoyed, feeling that his efforts had finally paid off.
He immediately began asking Ruan Xiyue what the cubs usually liked. His earnest expression was like that of a student with a strong thirst for knowledge.
He asked Ruan Xiyue, "Isn't it a bit early to start feeding complementary foods at three months?"
The cautious tone suggested that the speaker was afraid of saying something wrong.
A moment later, she asked Ruan Xiyue, "Do the cubs need extra blankets when they sleep at night?"
His eyes were full of concern, as if he were already Ruan Xiyue's beastly husband.
Looking at Qi Heng's nervous yet expectant expression, Ruan Xiyue felt somewhat helpless.
How would she know any of this? Ever since she started having cubs, the first cub was carefully cared for by Long Ze, then Xian Zhu was in charge of the cubs, and then Duo Duo!
She only cares about giving birth and already thinks she's great; taking care of the cubs must be the responsibility of the beastmen!
Otherwise, what would she need so many beastly husbands for?
Ruan Xiyue gently shook her head, indicating that she wasn't sure.
Qi Heng felt a little disappointed when he saw Ruan Xiyue's answer, but he did not give up.
He quickly changed the subject, trying to get Ruan Xiyue's attention again.
In short, his words and allusions were attempts to subtly persuade Ruan Xiyue to let him stay overnight.
His eyes were filled with longing, like a child yearning for a beloved toy. His words also became gentler, as if every word was filled with endless love.
Looking at Qi Heng's hard work, Ruan Xiyue felt conflicted.
She knew she couldn't easily agree to Qi Heng's request, because there were always some intertwined interests between the tribes between them.
She cannot let momentary greed cause her to ignore the conflicts of interest within the tribe.
This involves her own safety, as well as the safety of the cubs!
Ruan Xiyue gently shook her head and said, "That won't do. Long Ze might be back tonight. I need to stay home and wait for them these next few days."
Her voice was firm, but it carried a hint of reluctance.
Qi Heng never expected that even though he had been trying to seduce Ruan Xiyue by appearing as a fox spirit, she was still able to reject him.
His heart was filled with loss and despair, like a wounded little bird.
Qi Heng jumped off the cub's bed and rubbed against Ruan Xiyue's ankle, the gentle gesture seemingly expressing his love.
Ruan Xiyue knew what Qi Heng was thinking, but she did not stop him from getting closer.
Qi Heng seemed to have noticed Ruan Xiyue's attitude of letting him get close, and he was overjoyed, feeling that his efforts had finally paid off.
He immediately seized the opportunity to further express his love to Ruan Xiyue.
He transformed into human form, his handsome face appearing even more captivating in the dim glow of the luminous pearl.
He gently picked up Ruan Xiyue and carried her to the guest room, as if she were a precious treasure.
Ruan Xiyue felt a little flustered but also inexplicably happy as she felt Qi Heng's embrace.
There's no point in thinking so much, so let's just enjoy the present moment!
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Xiyue said, "Don't go upstairs! Go to the guest room next door."
Her voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Qi Heng felt a pang of sadness. Ruan Xiyue was unwilling to discuss the topic of marriage with him, wouldn't let him stay overnight, and wouldn't even let him go to her room...
But he reassured himself that at least she had taken him a step further.
Previously, Ruan Xiyue rarely spent time alone with him.
Now, thanks to his tireless efforts, Ruan Xiyue has allowed him to enter her home!
Qi Heng gently placed Ruan Xiyue on the bed in the guest room, his movements were so careful, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
He was so nervous that his palms were sweating and his heart was beating faster and faster, just like a student about to take an important exam.
Ruan Xiyue looked at Qi Heng, whose eyes were red at the corners, and felt a little sorry for him.
She knew that Qi Heng genuinely liked her, and she was somewhat moved by his sincerity.
But she couldn't easily agree to Qi Heng's request, because she had many concerns.
Ruan Xiyue sighed softly, her voice helpless yet tinged with coldness: "Qi Heng, don't be like this. I know you're good to me, but I can't be your partner yet."
It would be a lie to say that Qi Heng wasn't upset after hearing Ruan Xiyue's words.
But he held Ruan Xiyue's hand tightly and said, "Xiyue, I will always wait for you. I will prove my love with my actions, and I will let you see my true heart."
Ruan Xiyue didn't want to say anything more to Qi Heng. She had already made her stance clear to him, but he was still blindly rushing headlong into the fire...
Then... let's enjoy the moment!
Ruan Xiyue leaned against Qi Heng with a satisfied look on her face. Qi Heng was a young man who had just experienced the taste of sex, and he couldn't help but want to hold Ruan Xiyue and have a deeper conversation with her again.
Just then, Ruan Xiyue heard the sound of the door opening.
Ruan Xiyue immediately stuffed the clothes into Qi Heng's arms, pushed him towards the window, and said in a low, hoarse, and urgent voice, "Quick! You leave first! I'll come find you another day!"
As she spoke, she pushed open the window. In his panic, Qi Heng had no choice but to follow Ruan Xiyue's instructions and jumped out of the window.
Ruan Xiyue pushed open the door and went into the changing room across the street.
Jiu Chen was a little surprised. He thought he had just seen a shadow flash by in the corridor.
Before Jiu Chen could even ask, he heard Ruan Xiyue call out, "Honey, I'm hungry!"
Jiu Chen, without suspecting anything, washed his hands and began preparing food for Ruan Xiyue.
As Ruan Xiyue cleaned herself, she thought to herself, "No wonder so many people like to do things secretly..."
However, she really didn't want Jiu Chen to discover even the slightest clue, otherwise she felt she would be dealt with terribly...
