Winston revealed a hint of grief in his eyes as he stared at her, not saying anything.

Bai Qingqing stroked his face, stroking that scary scar gently, feeling helpless.

She didn’t dare to use that box of condoms anymore. Curtis might be able to use it, but the length wasn’t sufficient. She was worried that it might end up getting stuck in her body, unable to get out. It was better to keep them for blowing balloons.

“Put me down. Let me help you with my hands.” Bai Qingqing held in her embarrassment and said.

Winston kept his gaze fixed on his mate, feeling that she looked so adorable that his heart melted. However, he felt even more upset inside.

He let go of her and said, “No need. I only want you. I don’t want that.”

Bai Qingqing panicked and immediately realized that she had said something wrong. She quickly explained, “It’s not your problem. It’s because I definitely mustn’t get pregnant now. Can you wait for me for a few years? Seven years, no, three years will do. One year can work, too. If I get pregnant, I’ll have time to give birth to them.”

If they were to have sex one to two months before the summer holidays, even if she were to get pregnant, she’d be able to give birth one month into her summer holidays. She’d still have another month to recuperate.

If it was a girl, she’d accept it too.

In their family now, giving birth to a girl might be more important than giving birth to one in the beastmen world. They’d only be able to bring up the children openly if it was a girl. Males could only be treated as pets and must be raised secretly. They might even end up being caught by certain departments at the zoo. After they grow up, getting them an identity might be a problem too.

All of Winston’s upset feelings instantly dissipated. He wrapped one arm around Bai Qingqing, pressing her to his chest, and said in a deep voice, “I’m sorry. I misunderstood.”

Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief and poked his chest. She felt that his chest was as hard as rocks and her finger hurt.

“Don’t think too much into it. I... I like you a lot.” When Bai Qingqing said the last few words, she almost slurred them together. After saying that, she lowered her flushed face.

She didn’t care about embarrassment when she was with Parker and Curtis, but she didn’t seem to have confessed to Winston before. Even Muir had received better treatment than him. It was because, in the past, he had also been like how Winston currently was, having no sense of security.

Winston’s body shook intensely. He bent over and rested his head next to Bai Qingqing in a very unnatural pose, inhaling his mate’s scent.

Although there was a faint scent of shampoo from Qingqing’s hair now, it was also a plant scent, like the shower gel. It smelled a little bitter but was indescribably nice when mixed with her body’s fragrance.

Winston closed his eyes and tried to sense his mate’s existence even more strongly.

Bai Qingqing felt a scorching liquid landing on her shoulder, her skin having the delusion that it was scorched. She couldn’t ignore it. This droplet then slid into her clothes down her skin, the temperature rapidly turning cold. However, it became so cold that her heart ached.

She hugged his waist. “Didn’t I tell you this before? I’ve always liked you a lot. I feel at ease with you around.”

An obvious heavy panting could be heard in the enclosed bathroom. It sounded like a wild beast’s breathing yet also like crying, feeling strangely influential. It made her heart ache and she teared up.

The two of them hugged quietly for a long time. Clanking sounds of porcelain rang out from the living room, and Bai Qingqing gave Winston a push.

“Quickly wash up. They’ll be calling for me once they’re done cooking.”

Winston let go of his mate unwillingly. He took a look at the knob for the water for a while, then turned it on to the angle his mate had turned to earlier, without any discrepancy. He then went under the hot water with his pants on.

Bai Qingqing pumped out a large handful of shower gel and pursed her lips, smiling, then said, “You can transform. I’ll help you brush your fur.”

Winston was removing his pants when he heard this. He tossed the wet pants to the floor, let out a low cry, then turned into his tiger form.
