Chapter 1484: Cozying Up to the Younger Brother-In-Law (1)
The minute those words came out of his mouth, the room was plunged into silence. All that could be heard was the sound of Furry salivating.
Parker looked at her with an innocent face.
Bai Qingqing was speechless for a moment and was about to say something when she heard Xiaofan’s voice from his bedroom.
“I think I heard someone scolding me?” Bai Xiaofan leaned against the wall in the corner and raised his chin as he looked at Parker.
Parker widened his eyes. He suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened further.
Qingqing only had her parents and a younger brother. Who was this young male? Surely he was not…
Parker suddenly experienced what the word ‘awkward’ meant.
Despite feeling bitter in his leopard heart, he didn’t show it on his face. He gazed at Bai Xiaofan as though nothing had happened and even gave him an elegant and presentable smile. (His work had trained him to do so).
“h.e.l.lo! I was kidding just now.” The quick-thinking Parker then added, “You don’t know, do you? Qingqing’s nickname is Doggie.”
Parker graded himself full marks for this explanation.
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes and didn’t bother to be polite with him. “Quickly go back to work!”
Having taken a clear look at his face, Bai Xiaofan straightened his body in astonishment and gasped. He stared at Parker’s face and said, “Are… are… are you Parker?”
“Eh? You know me, too?” Parker ignored his mate’s attempt at chasing him away and warmly headed towards Bai Xiaofan. “My name is Parker. Here, this roast duck is for you.”
Bai Xiaofan covered his mouth. When the aroma of the roast duck entered his senses, he lowered his head and glanced at it, the corners of his lips involuntarily twitching twice.
“If I recall correctly, you were planning to give this roast duck to Furry?” Bai Xiaofan said.
Furry, who had been pestering Bai Qingqing for the roast duck in vain, immediately turned around and ran over when it heard Bai Xiaofan call its name. The way it was rubbing against Parker’s leg made Bai Xiaofan feel certain that he hadn’t seen it wrong.
Parker let out a dry cough, mercilessly kicked the dog away, and handed the roast duck to him. “This one is for you.”
Bai Xiaofan slurped his saliva and took it from him. “Since you’re so sincere, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse. Alright, I’ll accept this roast duck.”
Having said that, he picked up the roast duck and started chomping on the entire thing.
Bai Qingqing got anxious and strode over to him. “Hey, Bai Xiaofan, are you really going to finish that by yourself?”
Pointing at the roast duck that Furry had made a mess of, he said in a m.u.f.fled tone, “Isn’t there one more over there?”
Too furious to speak, Bai Qingqing pointed at Bai Xiaofan’s face with a trembling finger before finally saying indignantly, “Fine! You win!”
Seeing his spouse looking so p.i.s.sed off, Parker quickly coaxed. “I’ll buy another one for you later.”
“I don’t want it. You’d better go back quickly.” Bai Qingqing urged.
Upon hearing this, Parker’s face became dejected, and he glanced at Bai Xiaofan pitifully.
As the saying goes ‘gifts blind the eyes’. Bai Xiaofan instantly stood out and said, “How can you treat a guest like this? To think you’re even my older sister. How can you not have any manners?”
Though Parker didn’t agree in his heart, he nodded repeatedly.
Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but think of Bai Xiaofan’s att.i.tude towards Curtis. Contrasting his att.i.tude towards Parker and him, she couldn’t help but marvel.
While she was absorbed in her thoughts, Bai Xiaofan had already invited Parker to play in his room. “Come, let’s ignore my sister. The two of us can play without her.”
As Parker walked, he even cast a smug look at Bai Qingqing.
As she watched them enter the bedroom, Bai Qingqing thought: Seems like two people of similar ages. .h.i.t it off better.
Based on the ages in the beastmen world, Parker was still very young.
