Chapter 699: Parker the Tattletale (1)  

In Bai Qingqing’s tree hole, Curtis slept like a dead snake after filling up his stomach as he hadn’t slept for days.

“Squeak squeak.”

The sound of a mouse biting things kept ringing in the tree hole. Bai Qingqing perked her ears and listened for a while before mumbling, “It can’t be that the bark is infested with bugs, right?”

Parker’s gaze landed on the wooden chest and his nose twitched. He walked over to open up the chest.

“Meow—”

A few young leopard cries rang out. They could tell that their daddy was angry, so their cries were soft.

So it was them hiding in the chest, using the wooden rod that was embedded with the luminous ball to grind their teeth. They had reached the age where they were growing fangs, and the root of their teeth kept itching. The door to their “nest” that Winston had made from them had a hole bitten through it. They then realized that their nest wasn’t warm enough and set their thoughts on their mommy’s stuff.

Parker lifted one leopard cub. They were no longer as small as they used to be.

The leopard cub was biting onto the wooden rod that had been embedded with a luminous ball. Saliva was hanging off the corner of his lips.

“You guys are turning the world upside down when I’ve just been away for a few days! If you want to grind your teeth, go look for a branch yourself!” Parker swung and tossed the leopard cub out. He crashed against the wall with a smash.

“Howl—” The two other leopard cubs’ cries rang out consecutively. Same as the first one, they were also biting onto the wooden staff with a luminous ball.

Bai Qingqing now understood how well the leopard cubs could withstand beatings. She knew that they wouldn’t get hurt from a fall like that, but her heart still ached for them.

“Don’t beat them. It’s raining outside, so it isn’t good for them to go out either.” Bai Qingqing’s hands were on the back of her waist, and she slowly walked up to the leopard cubs, stroking their heads to console them. She smiled and said to Parker, “When you’re free, bring them three pieces of wood. Remember to wash them. Don’t let them eat something bad.”

Hearing his mate’s gentle voice, Parker’s mood immediately turned for the better. He replied magnanimously, “Alright.”

However, when he looked toward the leopard cubs, his gaze became harsh again. “Scram down. Go chew on your own tail for now.”

“Howl—”

The three leopard cubs crawled down the tree hole sheepishly.

Bai Qingqing smiled, picked up the luminous ball wooden rod that was covered with saliva, then wiped it on herself. “The sky is turning dark. It’s good to take it out to light up the room.”

After saying that, she wanted to stand up. However, her heavy stomach made this act very difficult to pull through.

Parker reached Bai Qingqing in two to three strides, then carried her up horizontally.

“You’ve gotten heavier.” Parker placed her on the bed and came up with this conclusion.

“Of course. You guys were gone for over ten days,” Bai Qingqing said.

Parker stroked her stomach, putting his ear against it.

Bai Qingqing recalled how Winston had felt the fetal movement and felt very happy about it. She couldn’t help but share it with the whole world. She said it to Parker as well, “Winston felt the fetal movements. You were still saying that I lied to you.”

Parker’s countenance changed, and he said indignantly, “It must be that An’an has grown up, that’s why he was able to hear it. I’m certain that I’ll be able to hear it as well now.”

Bai Qingqing saw him like this and felt regretful over her action. One shouldn’t be too smug.

Parker was sharp and could sense the change in her attitude toward Winston. He was already the weakest amongst them, and if Qingqing’s love for him became the least as well, he didn’t dare to imagine how things would be.

No, he must let Qingqing like him more, and win one round back.

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Parker raised his brows and looked at her, saying, “I’ll tell you a secret.”

“What?” Bai Qingqing looked at him curiously, wondering if Parker had also come across an interesting encounter in his trip this time around.

Parker took a look at Curtis, who was sleeping next to him. He went close to Bai Qingqing’s ears and said in a soft voice, “I saw your snake child.”
