Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Chapter 238: Wen Xiaobao Is Kidnapped

Mrs. Qin pressed her lips together, lowering her head in thought.

A flash of displeasure crossed Qin Nuo’s eyes. "He has amnesia. I even gave him his new name. Why wouldn’t he trust us?"

"Didn’t Xiao Yi say he’s basically a child with an empty mind right now?"

"Maybe the Medical Alliance people took matters into their own hands and scared my person away!"

As she spoke, she grew more certain. "No, I have to go find him myself! He must have been terrified by the Medical Alliance. He’ll only let his guard down when he sees me."

The butler didn’t dare to make a sound.

Mrs. Qin let her be. As long as she didn’t bother her father with these things, it was fine.

Qin Nuo was a woman of action. She took a team of people and headed toward the forest of the Endless Abyss.

The butler sighed silently. "Ma’am, shall I pour you some hot tea?"

Mrs. Qin shook her head, her gaze fixed worriedly on Qin Nuo’s boisterous, departing figure.

’In the end, we spoiled this daughter too much. That’s why she grew up so fearless and reckless, so unsophisticated and simple-minded.’

The butler said, "You don’t need to worry so much. The young miss is protected by the Beast God. No matter what happens, she always manages to turn peril into safety."

Mrs. Qin replied, "How can I not worry? The child is too naive."

’She’s been spoiled by us. She’s just a child who never grew up.’

She couldn’t help but recall seeing Bai Su at the banquet the other day.

In both her words and actions, as well as her thoughts, she was far more profound and steady than Qin Nuo.

And she was surrounded by so many high-quality males.

A dark gleam flickered in Mrs. Qin’s eyes. ’Those males should all belong to my daughter.’

Qin Nuo was simple-minded. On her own, she could never support the Qin Family’s vast enterprise and mission.

Therefore, they had to recruit the best possible males for Qin Nuo.

Lu Tingyan, Li Chenlin, Yelias, Wen Lan, and Xiao Yi were all on the list she and Mr. Qin were considering.

After that night, they had sent people to investigate these men.

Some were resourceful and brilliant, others possessed outstanding strength. They were perfectly complementary to Qin Nuo, making them the most suitable to be her Beast Husbands and compensate for her impulsive, unsophisticated nature.

But as fate would have it, all these men revolved around that little female named Bai Su.

’If we had adopted Bai Su back then, perhaps we wouldn’t have so many problems now...’

The moment this idea surfaced in her mind, Mrs. Qin was startled awake. ’How could I have such a terrible thought?’

’If Nuo’er knew I’d ever thought something like this, she would be heartbroken!’

Mrs. Qin quickly suppressed the thought welling up inside her and left Qin Nuo’s room.

「Lanton Laboratory.」

Bai Su held her breath, waiting for the results on the screen.

Beside her, Yelias also stared intently at the screen.

The two of them were alone in the lab.

After the meeting, Yelias had sent everyone else away.

The matter concerned Bai Su’s lineage; the fewer people who knew, the better.

The progress bar on the hovering screen filled up, and the result showed a 100% match.

This meant that Bai Su and Leia were indeed twins.

Bai Su let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps because Yelias had mentioned this possibility to her long ago, she wasn’t as surprised when the actual results came out.

Soon, the second test report was also ready.

Leia’s body was indeed unable to mature due to an unusual gene sequence.

And Wen Dabao had the exact same gene sequence in his body.

This meant that Wen Dabao would likely remain in his current state forever, never growing older.

Bai Su’s heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. She lowered her head, lost in thought.

Yelias’s eyes were filled with heartache for her.

She had lost a lot of weight recently. Busy with so many things, her chin had grown sharper, and her figure had become more slender and frail. When she lowered her head, the thin lines of her back appeared straighter and more angular, not as soft as before.

He pressed his lips together. "Susu, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. This isn’t your fault. Technology is so advanced now; there’s bound to be a solution."

Bai Su suddenly looked up. "Can my Healing Power solve Da Bao’s problem?"

Yelias froze for a second. "Well..."

’That’s an angle I hadn’t considered.’

The cool, crisp scent of cedar gently enveloped her. "So, you were betting that I wouldn’t be able to bear seeing you work so hard, and that’s why you’ve been giving me the cold shoulder, right?"

Bai Su felt a little guilty and carefully hugged him back. "No... I’m sorry, I really forgot."

Yelias’s light chuckle sounded by her ear. "Alright, then as compensation, can you agree to one request?"

Bai Su blinked blankly. "What request?"

Yelias: "Promise me first."

Since Bai Su was the one in the wrong, she could only nod. "Okay."

Yelias sighed in relief inwardly. ’This way, when my ’grandfather’ identity is exposed in the future, I won’t have to worry about Bai Su turning on me and giving me the cold shoulder.’

He gazed at Bai Su’s face, so close to his, and his heart stirred. He slowly leaned in.

Bai Su’s face flushed, but she didn’t pull away.

Just as their lips were about to meet, the smart device on Bai Su’s wrist suddenly rang with a call.

She jumped in surprise and her eyes flew open.

Yelias pressed her against the lab bench. "Ignore it..."

Bai Su quickly pushed against him. "Don’t mess around, it’s Little Treasure."

Hearing this, Yelias reluctantly paused.

’Anyway, to Bai Su, these little ones were always more important than big guys like them.’

Bai Su answered the call. "Little Treasure, what’s wrong?"

"Heh... Miss Bai, it’s me, Xiao Yi." A low, pleasant voice came from the other side.

Bai Su shot up. "Xiao Yi? What have you done to Little Treasure?"

Then, Wen Xiaobao’s sweet, childish voice came through the call. "Mama, I’m okay~"

Bai Su: "...Huh?"

Xiao Yi’s voice sounded again. "It’s like this, Miss Bai. Your daughter and I get along very well. She’s going to be a guest at my place for a few days. You don’t need to worry about her schooling during this time; I’ll take her."

Bai Su: "No! Xiao Yi, you stay away from her."

A gentle laugh came from the other end. "Miss Bai, I’m not discussing this with you."

Wen Xiaobao: "Mama, I’m just going to play for a few days, please let me go. I’ll call you every day to let you know I’m safe! Bye, Mama."
