Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1486: Winston Is My Bodyguard

Bai Xiaofan widened his eyes as realization dawned on him. “I was wondering why the dog food at home had disappeared. I was suspecting this earlier. So you really were the one who ate it!”

Parker felt a tad embarrassed. All along he had thought that Qingqing’s younger brother had silently consented to giving him those meat cans.

“My parents searched for those missing cans for more than an hour. But since it made my sister dump that red-haired fellow, it’s worth it.” After feeling conflicted for a brief moment, Bai Xiaofan came to terms with it.

Parker, who couldn’t agree more, patted his shoulder.

As Bai Xiaofan spoke, he looked up the two photos that made Parker famous. He pointed at the silver-haired guy and asked, “Who is he? Why was he with you?”

“Ooh…” After pondering it momentarily, Parker recalled a new phrase he had learned from the television and immediately applied what he had learned. “That’s my bodyguard. I wanted him to help me eat.”

“Oh! Your family is so rich. This bodyguard looks expensive. He’s even taller than you and even more muscular than an African.” Bai Xiaofan said in admiration, “To think he actually helped you eat dog food. Best bodyguard of the century!”

Parker’s expression instantly turned dark. That a leopard’s physique was inferior to a tiger’s had always been his sore point. Many a time, beastmen’s abilities were determined by their physiques.

Walls have ears. Their conversation was clearly overheard by Bai Qingqing who had her ear pressed against the door. The more she listened, the more she found it difficult to continue listening.

Finally, Bai Qingqing couldn’t take it anymore and slapped the door. “Bai Xiaofan, open the door!”

Having just finished a roast duck with Parker, Bai Xiaofan was just feeling thirsty, so he immediately got up and opened the door.

Bai Qingqing first glared at Parker before saying to him, “He’s spouting nonsense. Don’t listen to him.”

Bai Xiaofan pouted. “Whether it’s true or not, I can make the judgment myself.”

He then winked at Parker, using his gaze to express his trust in him, before going out to get something to drink.

The emotions that Parker revealed earlier couldn’t have been faked. Although he was a celebrity now, he wasn’t an actor yet.

“Hehe…” Seeing that Bai Qingqing’s countenance was as dark as the bottom of a frying pan, Parker chuckled sheepishly and said, “I’m very fond of your younger brother.”

Bai Qingqing pursed her lips. She suddenly walked over to twist his ear and berated him in a hushed tone. “Aren’t you leaving yet? I’ll be done for once my parents return. The things you have said to Xiaofan, I will explain to him.”

“Ouch ouch ouch.” Parker stood up from the pain and threatened in a low voice, “If you continue twisting my ear, I’m going to transform.”

Bai Qingqing quickly let go and cast a worried glance at this ear. Only when she saw that it hadn’t transformed into a leopard ear that her heart was put to ease.

Rubbing her temples, Bai Qingqing said, feeling headache, “Hurry up and leave. Can you let me be more low-profile for now?”

Seeing that his spouse was really very vexed, Parker’s heart ached for her. Yet, he couldn’t bear to leave her. Thus, he felt very conflicted.

He grabbed her by the waist and stroked her head with his other hand. “Then, I’ll go to the company.”

“Mm, go ahead,” said Bai Qingqing.

Parker lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead, before reluctantly letting go.

Standing at the door, Bai Xiaofan tossed him a bottle upon seeing this.

Parker caught it and smiled at him, before placing it in his mouth and biting into it.

His sharp canine teeth easily poked a hole in the aluminum can, and the beverage gurgled from the hole and flowed into his mouth.

Bai Xiaofan: “…” What a bizarre man.

After sending him off, Bai Xiaofan looked at his older sister, who suddenly felt like a stranger to him, and asked, “Where did you get to know these guys? One is weirder than the other.”
