Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 152: Chapter 151: Don’t Appear Before Us Again

Jie Ying’s face turned pale with fright. She thought she was about to be made mute again.

Unexpectedly, the Young Master had stopped Shen Yue at the last possible second.

She instantly let out a sigh of relief.

Then, she shot Shen Yue a triumphant look.

The rims of Bai Chaosi’s eyes were red.

He gripped Shen Yue’s wrist, his voice hoarse and strained with restraint.

”Shen Yue, you can’t.”

”I can’t let you hurt her.”

Shen Yue stared at Bai Chaosi in disbelief.

’Can’t hurt her?’

’Does that mean she can hurt my son? Insult my son?’

Her eyes instantly reddened with anger.

The rage in her heart reached its peak.

She had never felt such resentment toward Bai Chaosi as she did in this moment.

She met his gaze and demanded:

”She called your son ill-bred! Didn’t you hear her?”

Bai Chaosi’s throat tightened, the rims of his eyes a deep red.

”I heard, but I can’t let you hurt her.”

So furious she had to force the words through her teeth, Shen Yue began her soul-crushing interrogation:

”For her sake, you can even tolerate your own son being insulted and slandered by her?”

Bai Chaosi said nothing.

An unreadable, complex emotion just flickered in his eyes.

Shen Yue took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on him, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

”Is this your ’love’ for your son?”

Bai Chaosi looked as if he’d been deeply stung.

His eyes were a bottomless vortex of pain, sorrow, and a tangle of murky, obscure emotions.

But he slowly began to speak, his voice dark and raspy.

”In the future, I will atone to you and him. I’ll repay this a thousand, ten thousand times over.”

Shen Yue looked at him, her expression shifting from disbelief to the way one looks at a stranger.

After a long moment, she sneered.

’Whatever.’

’Dragging this out is pointless.’

It didn’t matter what Bai Chaosi’s reasons were—whether he had some unavoidable difficulty or he was truly, blatantly favoring this Jie Ying.

None of it mattered anymore.

All she knew was that from this day forward, this man would have nothing to do with her or her child!

He had indulged that woman to this extent even as his son was being slandered, watching with his own eyes as his child was insulted and berated, yet he remained unmoved.

He even stopped her when she tried to stand up for their son and vent his anger.

That was enough to prove that in his heart, even his son’s suffering weighed less than that woman.

He would let others bully his own flesh and blood while he stood by and watched. She wouldn’t waste another second on a man like that.

She wouldn’t let Liu Bao have any contact with him ever again.

In that instant, all the anger in her vanished, replaced by emptiness.

”There’s no need.”

’A thousand, ten thousand times over? He can keep his repayment for himself.’

Bai Chaosi’s pupils contracted. He could feel her disappointment in him in that moment.

Shen Yue said, ”Let go.”

It was as if he had forgotten how to react.

Perhaps he was afraid she would strike again, so he didn’t release his grip.

His grip on her wrist was starting to hurt.

”Don’t worry. I won’t hurt her again.”

Then, she stood up and, before Bai Chaosi could react, violently shook his hand away.

It was a gesture that completely severed their relationship.

”I promise, as long as you take her and get out of my sight, I won’t lay a finger on her.”

”I’ll act as if I’ve never met her.”

”And one more thing. From now on, Liu Bao will have no relationship with you, his father. Having me, his female mother, to love him is enough. He doesn’t need a Father anymore.”

As she spoke, she stared at him, her eyes devoid of warmth, and said word by word:

”And you... don’t ever appear before us again. Because the sight of you disgusts me.”

Those words crashed straight into Bai Chaosi’s ears.

Her decisive tone and look of utter contempt made him unable to believe what he was hearing.

He opened his mouth to speak, only to feel a tidal wave of pain crash against his chest.

It was as if something was slipping through his fingers, pulled away so quickly he was left completely defenseless.

He tried to speak. ”Shen Yue, I...”

But Shen Yue had already turned, picked Liu Bao up from the ground, and started walking toward the tent area without giving him so much as another glance.

Bai Chaosi stood rooted to the spot, his face as pale as paper.

Watching Shen Yue’s retreating back as she carried their child away, it felt as if a piece of his chest had been carved out.

Pain, like a great net, cinched tight around his heart, making it hard to breathe as the feeling of suffocation spread through him inch by inch.

Especially when Liu Bao, draped over Shen Yue’s shoulder, looked back at him with such disappointment and strangeness in his eyes.

In that moment, the pain swirling in his eyes threatened to annihilate him.

Watching Huang Ziyue and the others follow Shen Yue as she left, Lan Cangyue glanced at the tormented Bai Chaosi and shook his head mockingly.

”Brother, I don’t think you have a clue what’s important and what’s not. You’ve made your bed, now lie in it.”

”Don’t worry, I’ll help take extra good care of Liu Bao from now on.”

’A man who would let his own son suffer for an outsider isn’t just someone who can’t tell right from wrong.’

’Shen Yue must have seen right through this fox.’

After saying his piece, Lan Cangyue turned and followed Huang Ziyue and the others toward the tent area, not sparing Bai Chaosi another glance.

The surrounding Beastmen couldn’t help but start murmuring among themselves:

”A Beast Husband who sides with an outsider? Better off without him!”

”Exactly. The benefactor is such a good person, yet she has to suffer this injustice. That man is obviously, blatantly favoring that woman from the Fox Clan.”

”He let that woman insult his own child. Does a man like that even deserve to be called a man? He doesn’t deserve a Female Master or a child.”

”The benefactor is clearly heartbroken. I doubt she’ll ever take that man back!”

”Isn’t that the truth? Forget the benefactor, I wouldn’t want a man who doesn’t have my back either.”

But Jie Ying, still sitting on the ground, was ecstatic.

She never expected Shen Yue to actually give up on Bai Chaosi and cut all ties with him.

’This is great.’

’The Young Master is finally mine!’

’It seems Shen Yue is completely done with the Young Master. She said such harsh, merciless words to drive him away. I don’t believe the Young Master will shamelessly stick around after that.’

’Besides, the Young Master just blatantly sided with me in front of so many people. Anyone could see that I’m the one he likes. He definitely won’t stay by that woman’s side anymore.’

At this thought, she heard the surrounding chatter and snapped angrily:

”All of you, shut up! Who would want a woman like that anyway!”

The Beastmen behind her were instantly frightened into silence.

Meanwhile, Bai Chaosi stood as if frozen in place, his eyes downcast, as though all the strength had been drained from him.

Bracing one hand on the ground, Jie Ying slowly stood up.

”Young Master, don’t be sad. A man as wonderful as you will have plenty of females wanting him. She’s the one who isn’t worthy of you.”

A Qi was also frightened by this turn of events.

He could clearly sense how heartbroken and sad the Young Master was.

He also belatedly realized that he had really run his mouth and ruined things for the Young Master.

He had completely destroyed the relationship between Miss Shen Yue and the Young Master.

Still, he just couldn’t stand seeing Shen Yue scold and lecture the Young Master like that. Who was their Young Master? He was the favored son of the Fox Clan!

Even if Miss Shen Yue was highly fertile, able to give birth to seven at once, and knew medicine, making her somewhat special...

...she was still just a commoner who had been stripped of her noble title.

He spoke up, ”Young Master, don’t be too sad. It’s impossible between you and Miss Shen Yue now anyway. After what she said, we should just hurry back to Snow Ridge!”

”Also, in my opinion, she’s definitely not going to treat Miss Jie Ying’s hand now. We’ll have to go back to Snow Ridge and find a physician. A Healing Doctor from our Fox Clan can surely cure Miss Jie Ying!”

Bai Chaosi slowly came back to his senses.

The eyes that had been consumed by pain were now concealed behind an icy rage.

He whipped his head around to look at Jie Ying.

His gaze was utterly devoid of warmth. Jie Ying froze under his stare, so frightened she could only open her mouth.

”Young Master, I...”

Bai Chaosi’s tone was ice-cold.

”A Cheng, take her.”

A Cheng was startled for a moment. ”Yes.”

Jie Ying was terrified.

”Young Master, where are you taking me?”

Bai Chaosi didn’t spare her another glance. With a flash, his figure vanished from the spot.

A Cheng walked up to Jie Ying and grabbed her.

”Miss Jie Ying, my apologies.”

With that, before Jie Ying could react, he hauled her along and followed after Bai Chaosi.
