Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef
Chapter 140 - 139: Doesn’t She Look Like a Little Sister?
*
The day of Bai Su and Lu Tingyan’s wedding arrived as scheduled.
This wedding of the century wasn’t just attended by the great tribal leaders of the Snow Country, but also by members of the Southern Country Royal Family and the International Alliance.
At the entrance to the venue.
Wen Lan had changed into an exceptionally elegant and handsome outfit. His white cat ears and tail looked particularly graceful.
Trailing behind him were two adorable, doll-like little ones.
Wen Lan admonished them worriedly, "Wen Dabao, Wen Xiaobao, you remember what I told you, right?"
The two little ones nodded in unison. "We remember!"
Stick close to Dad inside the venue, don’t get led away by strangers, don’t talk to strangers, and most importantly, don’t let your mother recognize you.
They had seen the news and knew Bai Su was their mother, but the two little ones had always depended on their father for everything.
Their father didn’t like Bai Su, so they didn’t like her either.
The only reason they had begged and pleaded to come today was that Wen Dabao wanted to see her brothers; they weren’t here for Bai Su.
Only then did Wen Lan nod in satisfaction, looking at his two daughters with a hint of pride.
Even though he knew from the news that Bai Su was as much a victim as he was in the drugging and rape incident back then, he still couldn’t forgive her.
Besides...
A glint flickered in Wen Lan’s eyes. ’My daughters are my life. I won’t allow Bai Su to suddenly barge into our lives and share in raising them with me.’
Wen Dabao’s true form was a lizard, but today she was disguised as a little butterfly Beastman. Two curly butterfly antennae drooped from her head, and her small face mostly took after Wen Lan, so no one would suspect she had any connection to Bai Su.
Wen Xiaobao, however, had inherited Bai Su’s Dutch Lop-eared Rabbit genes and resembled her.
Wen Lan hadn’t wanted to bring her initially. She had no memory of Bai Su or her brothers.
But the two little ones were very close, and bringing the older sister without the younger... he just couldn’t bear to do it.
Wen Lan led the two little ones into the venue.
The venue was decorated in a style that was simple yet grand and dreamlike. The guests milling about were all prominent figures from various countries and international organizations.
When Lu Tingyan saw him arrive, he nodded from a distance.
A corner of Wen Lan’s mouth lifted. He gave Lu Tingyan a sloppy, roguish military salute, which made Lu Tingyan’s brow furrow.
When Wen Lan’s gaze fell on the bride beside him, his eyes suddenly darkened.
Tsk...
’She’s much more beautiful than I imagined.’
She was beautiful in online videos, but it was nothing compared to the breathtaking sight of her in person.
Standing beside Lu Tingyan in her pure white wedding dress, she was as beautiful as a jade carving under the sun, or like a perfect CG elf stepping out of a 3D model.
Even though Wen Lan had mentally prepared himself, the moment he saw Bai Su in person, he felt as if his soul had been suddenly ripped from his body, and he fell into an uncontrollable daze.
When he came to his senses, he looked away in disgust, suppressing the nausea rising in his throat.
The old man linking arms with Bai Su to walk her to Lu Tingyan’s side looked somewhat familiar. His face was dark, and he clearly looked reluctant.
Bai Xiaolang and Bai Xiao Zhu acted as two adorable little page boys, holding the train of Bai Su’s wedding dress.
As the ceremony was about to end, the two little ones snuck off the stage and headed for the small cake section nearby.
Many desserts had been arranged for Bai Su’s wedding, all of which she had taught the household staff to make beforehand.
Although they weren’t as delicious as Bai Su’s own creations and lacked her Healing Power, they were still very tasty.
Wen Dabao tugged on the corner of Wen Lan’s clothes. "Dad, I want to go find my brothers."
Clearly, she had no interest in the bride on the stage.
Under Wen Lan’s "influence," coupled with her memories of being abused in her early years, Wen Dabao did not have a good impression of Bai Su.
Wen Lan ruffled her little head. "Go on, and take your sister with you. Dad needs to go say hi to a friend."
After a pause, he added another warning, "Don’t cause a scene."
Wen Dabao nodded quickly.
A flicker of excitement flashed in her eyes. She took Wen Xiaobao’s hand, turned, and started squeezing through the crowd in the direction where Bai Xiaolang and the others had disappeared.
After the ceremony, Bai Su changed into a lightweight strapless gown and came out to mingle with Lu Tingyan.
Even though the venue was heated, she still wore a fluffy shawl. Her long, curly hair was swept up in an elegant updo, adorned with a simple yet magnificent mermaid-themed jewelry set. At first glance, she looked like a graceful Mermaid who had just come ashore, her beauty breathtaking.
A few fine tendrils of hair escaped at her temples, falling just low enough to brush against her collarbone.
With her every move, the delicate curls swayed back and forth across her collarbone.
The gazes of nearly everyone present were focused on her.
As the strands of hair on her shoulders swayed, their eyes seemed to be bewitched, following the motion, and their hearts trembled uncontrollably.
Normally, Bai Su dressed conservatively and was already beautiful without much effort. But today, dressed to the nines and with the added allure of a Level 8 Female, if not for Lu Tingyan’s powerful presence, many of the males would have likely lost their minds and lunged for her...
"Bro, congratulations," Wen Lan said languidly, approaching with a glass of wine.
Hearing his voice, Lu Tingyan and Bai Su turned to look at him.
When Bai Su saw the man approaching, a flash of astonishment couldn’t help but cross her eyes.
’What a beautiful Cat Beastman!’
Lu Tingyan gave him a slight nod and made some small talk, asking about work-related matters.
Wen Lan responded lazily, his brow furrowing slightly as he glanced at the dazed Bai Su beside them.
’Is she... staring at my tail?’
While answering Lu Tingyan’s questions, Wen Lan casually swayed his tail behind him.
He noticed that Bai Su’s gaze kept stealthily following his tail as it moved back and forth.
Wen Lan tucked his tail away, ignoring Bai Su completely.
’She’s just putting on an act.’
Lu Tingyan continued their previous topic. "So you see, whether it was what happened back then or the child abuse, Susu was a victim, too."
Wen Lan’s eyes flickered, and he gave a soft grunt of acknowledgment.
’Victim or not, what happened, happened.’
’Whenever he thought of that night four years ago, he couldn’t help but recall the disgusting, frozen memories of his childhood.’
’All females are equally disgusting. In his eyes, there was no good or bad; they were all just disgusting creatures!’
「Elsewhere.」
Bai Xiaolang and Bai Xiao Zhu were diligently burying their faces in the small cakes, trying to find the strawberry pudding that Bai Su had made with her own hands.
Bai Su had told them that she’d personally made one strawberry pudding last night and hidden it among the others.
None of them wanted to miss out on Bai Su’s handiwork.
Suddenly, a clear, childish voice piped up beside them. "What are you looking for?"
The two little ones turned their heads and saw a little female butterfly Beastman about their age. She was exceptionally pretty and looked a little familiar.
Bai Xiaolang looked her up and down. "You are...?"
Wen Dabao lied practicedly, "I’m a guest here with my dad."
Bai Xiao Zhu suddenly leaned close to him and whispered, "Bro, don’t you think she looks like our little sister?"
