Chapter 1441: Bird Nest Arrives
The young lady who brought the doc.u.ment here instantly felt awkward. She finished the coffee in one gulp and said, “Erm, I’ll be making a move first.”
After saying that, she took her bag and fled.
Bai Qingqing poked the empty plate unhappily.
Curtis rubbed her head dotingly, placed the menu in front of her, and said, “It’s good that they’re gone. We can buy a few more back home.”
Who wanted takeaways? It’d be sickening to eat too many cakes.
Bai Qingqing wanted to refuse when she looked up and saw Curtis’s antic.i.p.ating gaze. The words that had reached her throat changed. “Oh, alright. We’ll buy a few more and let Winston and Muir try them as well.”
Curtis nodded, feeling pleased. He then called for the waiter.
While waiting for the cake, Bai Qingqing’s phone suddenly rang. Her countenance changed and she said, “This is bad. My mom might be worried about me.”
Bai Qingqing took out her phone carefully, heaving a sigh of relief upon seeing that it was an unfamiliar number. She pressed the b.u.t.ton to pick the call.
“h.e.l.lo, is this Miss Bai? Your parcel has arrived. Are you at home now?” A male voice rang out from the other end of the call.
The bird nest they had ordered last week had arrived. Bai Qingqing quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes. There’s someone at home. You can send it over right now.”
“Sure.”
Looking forward to seeing it, Bai Qingqing pulled Curtis to get up. “I wonder what the bird nest is like. Let’s hurry up and go back to check it out.”
Curtis wasn’t used to sleeping on a flat bed no matter how soft it was. Also looking forward to seeing the bird nest, he said softly, “Alright.”
They ordered five cakes to take away. The café was very close to their home, and they had just arrived at the door when the delivery man’s vehicle arrived.
The bird nest was stored in a two-meter long box. After the delivery man verified her ident.i.ty, he asked casually, “What did you buy? It’s so big, but it isn’t heavy at all.”
“Hehe, it’s a beanbag.” Bai Qingqing smiled, reaching out to the box. However, before she touched it, a pair of big and long arms intercepted it.
Curtis held the box in his arms and weighed it, then entered the house. Bai Qingqing hurried after him.
“Qingqing, wait for me,” said Parker as he held onto the many boxes of cakes.
Curtis’s legs were long and he walked very fast. Bai Qingqing had just arrived at the door when he was no longer in sight. She suddenly saw a wisp of a yellow figure from the corner of her eyes.
What was that?
Surprised, Bai Qingqing immediately looked toward the trees at the side.
A leopard darted out from the plants.
“Ahh!” Bai Qingqing backed off in reflex, leaning against Parker’s body.
Parker wrapped his arm around his mate, giving the leopard an admiring gaze. He then said softly, “Qingqing, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
The leopard stopped in front of Bai Qingqing and groveled on the ground, sniffing her.
Bai Qingqing exhaled, then turned to twist his ear. “You hid it here?”
Another leopard came running over, and Bai Qingqing said, “You’re keeping them here?”
Parker pretended it hurt a lot and gritted his teeth, saying, “Just for now. After the zoo is built, we’ll put them in there.”
“Zoo?” Bai Qingqing was confused.
Curtis was opening the box when he heard this and paused, saying, “We contracted a piece of land in the mountainous area and are planning to build a zoo to rear food.”
Bai Qingqing felt even more stunned and headed into the house. “How did you guys do that? Why didn’t you tell me? How much does it cost?”
Curtis embraced her and signaled Parker with his eyes, then headed up. Parker carried the delivery box inside.
