Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 256: Lu Tingyan’s Childhood Secret

Luo’an turned to his assistant and had them prepare a simulation.

After a flurry of activity, they finally found a clue.

Xiao Yi asked in a low voice, "How is it? What is it?"

Luo’an frowned slightly. "This gene sequence looks a little familiar..."

"Ah... I remember now."

Leia was getting impatient. "Can’t you just say it all at once? The suspense is killing me!"

Luo’an glanced at her. "It’s Bai Su’s Healing Superpower."

Leia froze. "How is that possible? I never..."

’Wait, no.’

That day, she had secretly gone easy on Bai Su and let her escape.

At the door, Bai Su had meddled and used her Healing Power to heal the wounds on Leia’s body.

She was speechless. "Didn’t... didn’t you guys say her superpower was ineffective on me?"

Previously, to solve the problem of her not growing, they had attempted to transplant Bai Su’s uterus into her.

So, Luo’an had conducted an experiment. He transplanted Leia’s genes into that fool from the Bai family, Bai Xue, and then transplanted Bai Su’s uterus into her, trying to see the effect.

Because Leia’s body was still that of a child, while Bai Su’s uterus was fully developed, it was impossible to fit it inside her.

But even after finding a test subject for the research, the results were still disappointing.

Bai Su’s uterus and superpower had no effect on the seal on Leia’s growth.

Luo’an stared at the analysis data on the screen, frowning slightly. "Perhaps our research direction was wrong from the very beginning..."

"But I can’t guarantee that your recent growth is because of her. The best thing would be to run another experiment. Have her infuse you with a little of her Healing Power."

Leia: "No way!"

’We’re the villains! We’re supposed to be on the opposite side of Bai Su!’

’And now you want me to go beg Bai Su for help?’

’I’d rather die!’

Xiao Yi also frowned slightly.

After last time, Bai Su’s side was clearly in opposition to the Qin Family.

Getting close to Bai Su’s group at such a critical moment would probably cause trouble.

’But... for Leia’s sake, maybe it’s not out of the question, as long as we’re discreet about it.’

Their discussion led nowhere, so the matter was temporarily shelved.

Leia grumbled, "I don’t care! I already owe Bai Su a favor. Xiao Yi, if you dare make me go ask for her help, I’ll hang myself on your office door!"

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but chuckle. "Is your pride really that important?"

Leia: "Of course! A person lives for their reputation, just like a tree lives for its bark! I’d rather die than be humiliated!"

Xiao Yi let out a soft laugh. He couldn’t even count how many times Leia had given up and begged for mercy when she was losing a fight on a mission.

But he couldn’t be bothered to call her out on her little fit of pique.

The two of them returned to the office.

When they saw the little one sitting in the office, they both froze.

Leia’s voice rose. "What the hell? How did you get in here?"

Wen Xiaobao blinked her big eyes. "They brought me in."

Leia was incredulous. "How is that possible?"

’Even if I gave those idiots downstairs ten times the nerve, they still wouldn’t dare bring a stranger into Xiao Yi’s office.’

’There are so many classified documents inside. A leak would be no laughing matter!’

Wen Xiaobao looked at them obediently. "I was just standing outside the main gate, and I said to a big brother, ’I’m looking for Xiao Yi, could you please take me to his office,’ and they brought me here."

’They even called me boss.’

’Bowing and scraping, super respectful.’

’It was actually a little embarrassing.’

Leia: "..."

Xiao Yi: "..."

Leia suddenly slapped her forehead. "This is perfect timing! We can use her to threaten Bai Su and make her cooperate with our experiment!"

Xiao Yi frowned slightly. "Hmm..."

Leia took a few steps over to the chair and grabbed the back of Wen Xiaobao’s collar. "Listen up! We’re now..."

Every time she came here, it was to do *that*, and she never had the time or energy to look at anything else.

She searched every corner, trying to find a ring among his things.

Suddenly, her hand accidentally touched the holographic screen on his desk, and it unlocked instantly with her fingerprint.

A photo album appeared before her.

It seemed he had been organizing the album and forgot to close it before he left, leaving it just like this.

Seeing the photo on the screen, Bai Su couldn’t help but curve her lips into a small smile.

The album began to play automatically. The wedding photo was the last one.

After the slideshow finished, it looped back to the first picture.

When Bai Su saw the tender and cute little wolf cub in the picture, her eyes widened in surprise.

’Is this... a young Lu Tingyan?’

’He looks so much like Bai Xiaolang.’

’Just... skinnier.’

A text annotation popped up next to the album.

"When will I finally grow up."

"I don’t like my parents at all."

"They all say that once you grow up, you can leave them."

"Why am I the eldest son in the family? It would be better if I were born later. I want to be a younger brother."

"Never mind. If they were the eldest, they’d definitely be unhappy too."

Bai Su’s smile froze on her face.

The text scrolled automatically in front of her.

She knew this was Lu Tingyan’s private diary, and she should turn off the computer immediately, but her body was frozen in place, letting the words continue to play.

"Mom and Dad said I’m a good-for-nothing, their disgrace. If I don’t work hard, I won’t have the right to be a child of the Lu Family."

"Why are Mom and Dad still unhappy even though I got first place? I’ve already tried so hard."

"Mom and Dad say I’m a terrible kid, that no one will ever like me. It’s so sad. What do I have to do to make friends, to be liked by people? I want a hug from Mom and Dad, too."
