Chapter 202: Chapter 142: The Agricultural College’s Special Recruitment Question

Shu Yao mused, ’Do you think I should find a teacher for our son, to teach him how to control his Beastman bloodline abilities?’

"If you think it’s necessary—" Qin Shiwei recommended someone to her. "His Majesty is the most suitable. When it comes to controlling bloodline abilities, he’s the most outstanding in the Imperial Family."

Shu Yao’s expression grew hesitant. ’It wasn’t that she doubted his words, but she wasn’t sure if handing their child over to Qin Songlin was a good idea.’

"Never mind. We can make arrangements later if we need to."

SPLASH! Her pale, slender arms broke the surface of the water, sending droplets flying as she wrapped them around the man’s neck.

Qin Shiwei’s peripheral vision caught the large bruises on her body.

"Not today." His voice sounded devoid of interest, but it was as if he were caging a drowsy beast that couldn’t bear to be provoked.

"Come on, come on~" Shu Yao clung to him.

Grabbing her hands to stop their teasing exploration, the man warned, "Don’t provoke me."

Shu Yao pouted playfully. "If I don’t provoke you, who else would I provoke?"

Unable to withstand the teasing, Qin Shiwei let out a frustrated growl from deep in his throat.

"Your hands are all pruney."

He gathered Shu Yao into his arms, lifted her out of the pool, and carried her away with steady steps.

Behind them, the floor glistened with a trail of water.

Shu Yao said, "What happened three years ago doesn’t count. I’ve only seen you with your tail and leopard spots out. When your spiritual power stabilizes, will you turn into a big kitty and let me pet you? Please~"

"You can pet me wherever you want," the man’s voice was soft and full of deep affection.

Shu Yao laughed. "I’ve noticed your innuendo game is surprisingly steady."

Qin Shiwei looked slightly confused for half a second before realizing what she meant. The corners of his lips lifted into a wicked, roguish smile.

"I can go fast or slow. It all depends on you."

Shu Yao blushed and landed a soft punch on his chest.

The next day, it was broad daylight by the time Shu Yao returned to the Shu Family home.

Shu Xin pointed at her with a suggestive look and chided, "If you hadn’t come back soon, I was about to go next door to find you!"

Shu Yao stuck out her tongue playfully.

Seeing her daughter in such high spirits, Shu Xin didn’t complain much more.

"Your younger uncle took Xiao Juzi out early this morning in that ’Big Bumblebee’ of his to show him off. I made an appointment with Doctor Wen; he should be here around ten."

"Mom, you’re dressed so nicely. Why didn’t you go out with my uncle and Xiao Juzi?"

Shu Xin gently patted her freshly styled hair. "I got all dressed up on purpose today. A close old friend of mine said she was coming to visit—it’s Jiang Fei’s mother."

"Oh, that’s great." Shu Yao was pleased to see her mother finally starting to reintegrate into her own social circle. "I’ll go make some snacks then."

"Okay, okay!"

Shu Yao went to the kitchen and stood dumbfounded before the completely empty food container, thinking the house must have been robbed.

’That’s right, my younger uncle is the snack thief.’

She had no choice but to order some ingredients online.

The ingredients arrived one after another, and only half an hour had passed.

Shu Xin wasn’t idle either. She made use of their yard and set up an outdoor tea party.

When the robot butler announced the arrival of a guest, she went to greet them with delight, only to find it wasn’t Jiang Fei’s mother.

Sizing up the two extravagantly dressed but unfamiliar faces outside the electronic gate, Shu Xin asked strangely, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"You must be Shu District Chief’s sister, right? You’re two years older than me, so I’ll just call you Sister Xin!" The visitor was very enthusiastic. "I’m from the district above yours, the Third District. The Lin District Chief is my husband. This is my daughter, Lin Ziyin. We’ve met before at a banquet."

"Hello, Auntie."

"Ah, so it’s Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin." Shu Xin’s expression cleared with understanding. Seeing Lin Ziyin, who was about the same age as Shu Yao, a natural warmth appeared in her expression. "Come in, come in."

After stepping through the electronic gate, the Lin mother and daughter constantly looked around, their eyes filled with a hint of envy.

"I heard you just moved in not long ago. The environment is quite nice! It doesn’t look at all like a new residential area that’s still under development."

’How could a regular residential area compare to a villa district?’

’She doesn’t even have her terms straight.’

No one corrected her, and Mrs. Lin prattled on, her words flowing like a river.

Before long, Mrs. Jiang arrived with her group of friends.

Shu Xin’s attention was diverted. Mrs. Lin watched them greet each other with affectionate hugs, a jealous look in her eyes, and she pouted and fell silent.

"My son must have been causing you a lot of trouble lately!"

"I’d be even happier if you let him come ’trouble’ me more often!"

"And where’s your little grandson? Hurry and bring him out so I can give him a squeeze~"

Shu Xin chuckled. "Xiao Yu took him out to play first thing in the morning!"

A hint of shrewdness entered the smile in Mrs. Jiang’s eyes. ’Could it be that Xiao Yu knew guests were coming today? Was he afraid something might be discovered, so he sent Zaizai away ahead of time?’
