Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: I Have A Tiger Who Cooks Bitches Alive ?

Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited the moment those golden eyes pinned her.

Shit. Shit. SHIT.

All her brilliant acting, all that honey-dripping nonsense she’d spewed just minutes ago... what if he denied everything in front of everyone? Where would she put her face? On the ground? Under a rock? She’d have to dig herself a grave and bury it along with her pride.

Her lips curved before her mind caught up, and she heard herself chirp sweetly, "Hu~ Yan~."

The tiger’s eyes twitched.

Before he could say anything, Su Qinglan leapt at him like a bashful bride seeing her groom after the wedding night. She latched onto his arm, clinging like her very life depended on it... which, let’s be honest, it did.

Hu Yan stiffened immediately, his entire body screaming to shake her off.

Too bad for him, she wasn’t letting go.

Her nails pressed gently into the hard muscle of his forearm, and she leaned in with a smile that could rival a fox demon. In the softest whisper, warm breath brushing his skin, she murmured, "My dear... don’t talk much. I’ll make you spicy pork strips later. Very delicious food."

Hu Yan froze.

Spicy... pork strips? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

What in the hell was a spicy pork strip? Was it another strange delicacy like that roasted meat last night? His throat bobbed unconsciously. His stomach gave the tiniest growl. His mouth watered before he could stop it.

Meanwhile, Su Qinglan’s mind spun like a hamster on a broken wheel. Okay, okay, distract him with food. If he keeps thinking with his stomach, maybe he won’t expose me. Just stall, Qinglan. Stall until you can escape with your face intact.

So there they were, Su Qinglan plastered against him, whispering mysterious sweet nothings about food, and Hu Yan silently drooling while imagining some new delicious dish.

But to everyone else’s eyes?

They looked like a newly mated couple, whispering sweet love words no one else was allowed to hear.

The crowd’s whispers grew hotter than a forest fire.

Xu Meiyan nearly fainted on the spot. Her eyes bulged, her hands shaking with rage. She wanted to rip Su Qinglan off Hu Yan and throw her off the nearest cliff. That beast warrior was hers! Hers! How dare this ugly piglet who only knew how to eat cling to him so shamelessly!

Bai Lianhua’s lips trembled like she’d caught her husband cheating on her wedding night. Her eyes reddened, tears swimming, heart shattering as though she’d been betrayed by her lover.

She took a step forward, her voice quivering with fake sweetness. "Brother Yan... how are you? I... I heard Sister Lan forced you to mate..."

The crowd collectively sucked in a sharp breath.

Su Qinglan’s expression instantly darkened.

Retarded. Absolutely retarded. Did this white lotus just crawl out of a cabbage patch? After I wasted half my saliva spinning the most beautiful opera of lies, this dumb bitch dares to open her mouth and sing another tune?!

Her smile remained plastered on, but her jaw clenched.

Her fingers tightened like claws on Hu Yan’s arm. If he dared nod, if he so much as sneezed in agreement with Bai Lianhua’s words, she swore she’d strangle him on the spot, tiger or not.

Her nails pressed harder. Her hand trembled. Say one wrong word, big cat, and I swear I’ll bury us both.

Hu Yan glanced down at the little female hanging on his arm. Her sweet smile was angelic, but those sharp fingers digging into his skin told another story entirely.
