Ye Yu's breathing became heavy. She tried to ignore it, yet she desperately wanted to feel this reality.

He hadn't expected her to come, and he didn't even hope she would stay.

The soft, gentle breathing lingered in his ears. Her small hands wrapped around his waist, and the cub beside them slept soundly. It seemed like an ordinary thing, but in the past, it was something he would never have dared to imagine.

As if possessed, he took her hand.

His rough palm enveloped her delicate, soft hand, and as he closed his eyes, a certain part of his heart suddenly felt at peace.

He didn't have any dirty thoughts; he just felt that being ordinary was fine. He could wait; whether or not they formed a contract wasn't that important.

A dreamless night.

When Ye Yu woke up, she found that the blankets were already cold.

He never expected to sleep so soundly, something that had never happened before.

He sat up and saw Mu Bai playing with grasshoppers with the cubs.

The little guy really liked the bamboo grasshopper, and he couldn't put it down. He wouldn't let Mu Bai touch it, and would throw a tantrum if Mu Bai did.

Mu Bai was so angry she wanted to punch him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Seeing that Ye Yu had woken up, she simply got up and walked over.

"She's awake." Mu Bai sat down, his gaze falling on Ye Yu's arm. "She finally managed to come all this way, such a good opportunity..."

Knowing what he was going to say, and being a fellow male and also Mu Yunyun's partner, Ye Yu rarely showed a hint of awkwardness, like a naive young man.

Mu Bai sighed.

"There are some things I shouldn't have said in the first place."

But right now, he can't care about any of that.

"You don't know, the tiger clan brought the cub over early this morning, saying that it was vomiting a lot of milk, and coaxed the person away."

Ye Yu frowned: "Is it that kid?"

"Who knows? I wasn't originally planning to dwell on these things, but Ji'er..."

Mu Bai looked at the baby grasshoppers playing on the ground.

“Ji’er is so young and needs his mother. This morning he wanted to go with us, but the Tiger Clan stopped him and sent someone to take him to me.”

"That makes no sense."

Mu Bai smiled wryly. He and Mu Yunyun were of the same clan and had a child together. Logically speaking, these were trivial matters. If he were to fuss about them, it would make him seem petty.

But he was, after all, a father, and seeing his young child suffer, he couldn't help but worry and feel sorry for him.

"Don't laugh at me, but after giving birth to Ji'er, Yunyun and I have never been close again. She cares about the future of the race, and even if she wants to have children in the future, she will never be with me."

You're overthinking it.

Mu Bai didn't explain, but he had a pretty good idea of ​​what Mu Yunyun was thinking.

“Even without the Tiger Clan, there will be other clans after the autumn hunt. At that time, it will be beyond our ability to contend with. It’s better to settle things early. If you get pregnant with cubs, we will have more support in the future.”

These are heartfelt words.

The cubs follow their father inside.

If the father's status is high, the offspring will have a high status in the mother's clan.

Conversely, they stay with their mother when they are away from home.

If the mother's status is high, the offspring's status outside will also be high.

He and Mu Yunyun were from the same clan and family, and there was no distinction between them, but given the current situation, he dared not gamble.

Moreover, if he were in a relationship with a partner, he would support the capable child, not his son.

He feared there would be many more instances of favoritism in the future, and he had to start planning accordingly.

Ye Yu listened patiently to the end.

He knew what Mu Bai meant.

But......

He had something on his mind, but was too ashamed to speak it.

How could he possibly take the initiative in something like that...?

Mu Bai noticed his predicament and tactfully suggested, "It's getting cold. I'll warm up a pot of wine tonight so we can all have a good celebration."

"it is good."
