Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 110: Chapter 109: If You Don’t Eat, I Cannot Start

A total of fourteen people, young and old, sat around the table and raised their glasses.

Gu Fangqi was quite touched by the sight. ’I’ve never eaten a meal with so many people before.’

It was the same for Huang Ziyue and the others, each experiencing their own unique emotions. They, too, had never sat around a table to eat a meal with more than a dozen people.

But everything was different after they met Shen Yue. She had introduced them to a life unlike any they had ever known.

Now, sitting with Shen Yue, eating the grand feast she had cooked with her own hands, with wine she had also prepared, they felt a sense of bliss that was about to overflow.

Across the entire Beast World, there were practically no females who knew how to cook, and it was even more unthinkable among the aristocracy.

’They were truly fortunate to have met Shen Yue.’

Seeing Shen Yue take a hearty drink of her wine, the men’s gazes grew hot as they fixed on her. They each raised their own glasses and took a sip.

Bai Chaosi, who normally didn’t drink, also took a sip.

’He didn’t want to spoil her fun.’

’For her, he would do anything, change anything!’

As the mellow, sweet wine slid down their throats, everyone at the table simultaneously looked down at the red wine in their glasses.

Ye Lüqi was a bit surprised.

"Is this really wine?"

Lan Cangyue added,

"It tastes so sweet. Can it really get someone drunk?"

The corner of Shen Yue’s mouth curved up.

"Oh, this wine has a serious kick. You can eat and drink your fill tonight and experience its power firsthand!"

’After all, the effects of red wine sneak up on you.’

Gu Fangqi sounded a bit skeptical.

"For real?!"

’It was the first time he’d ever had such a sweet, fragrant wine.’

Shen Yue’s exquisite lips curved into a smile, her eyes shimmering like rippling water.

"You can give it a try. Don’t worry, there’s plenty to go around!"

Gu Fangqi was momentarily stunned by her light, carefree smile.

’She really is beautiful.’

He found it almost impossible to tear his eyes away from her.

Shen Yue looked at the men.

"Go on, eat. Drink while you eat."

Staring at the delicious spread, the men had been itching to dig in.

But Mu Silin was the first to act. He picked up a piece of capelin from the dish before him, stood up, and reached across the table, preparing to place it on Shen Yue’s plate.

Just then, Huang Ziyue, who was sitting beside her, also picked up a piece of goat meat, intending to place it on her plate as well.

Bai Chaosi also stood up, having picked up a piece of grilled fish from the dish nearest to him.

At the same moment, Lan Cangyue picked up some chicken from the plate in front of him.

In an instant, all four men were aiming their chopsticks at Shen Yue’s bamboo bowl, nearly crashing into one another.

Seeing this, Mu Silin declared,

"Eat mine first!"

Lan Cangyue shot back, "Why yours first? Eat mine."

Seeing his chance, Bai Chaosi calmly changed tactics. He redirected his chopsticks, bringing them right up to Shen Yue’s lips.

"Here, let me feed you. I picked the most tender piece of meat. You should have the first bite."

Huang Ziyue’s face darkened as he glared at Bai Chaosi.

Then, he too redirected his chopsticks, thrusting them toward her mouth.

"Open up."

Seeing this, Mu Silin quickly brought his chopsticks to her lips as well.

Not to be outdone, Lan Cangyue pressed forward until his chopsticks were nearly touching her lips.

Shen Yue: "..."

Staring at the four different foods being shoved at her mouth, her mind went completely blank.

’How am I supposed to choose?’

’No matter whose I eat first, I’ll offend the other three.’

’They all just nearly died for me. I can’t just disrespect them, can I?’

Nearby, Ye Lüqi, who had been in the middle of ladling soup, froze.

’He could only blame himself for choosing to get soup; he was a step too slow.’

Annoyed, he snapped,

"Hey! At this rate, are you even going to let her eat?!"

Gu Fangqi narrowed his eyes, watching the utterly bewildered Shen Yue.

’Has their competition really reached this point?’

’I want to see how she’ll choose!’

’I want to see how she ranks them in her heart!’

Bai Chaosi’s expression was warm, his gaze gentle, and his voice was so soft it could melt stone.

"I just want you to have the first bite. In our Nine-tailed Fox Clan, the Female Master must always eat first before her Beast Husbands can begin."

"And in my heart, you are my Female Master, the person I would willingly give my life to protect and care for. So, the first bite must be yours. If you don’t eat, I cannot begin."

Shen Yue listened. ’There’s a rule like that?’

’But why did listening to him make her heart flutter like this...?’

’She felt like this fox was taking every possible opportunity to confess to her...’

’With him professing such deep devotion, how could she possibly refuse!’

But Mu Silin heard this and retorted,

"You make it sound like the rest of us haven’t also risked our lives to protect and love her! How come you get to say all the nice things!"

He then said to Shen Yue, "I’m not trying to force you. I just want to treat you well and give you some food. It doesn’t matter whose you decide to eat!"

Shen Yue listened, her eyes meeting Mu Silin’s. His gaze was practically overflowing with burning passion and expectation.

Her lip twitched. ’He might be saying that, but his chopsticks haven’t moved back an inch.’

Lan Cangyue cut through the pretense.

"Stop trying to sound so noble. Your chopsticks are closer to her than anyone else’s."

Mu Silin was instantly displeased.

"What would a fish like you know? I want her to choose for herself. I never said I wouldn’t feed it to her."

Listening to them bicker, Shen Yue’s eyes darted back and forth.

She saw Huang Ziyue’s face growing darker by the second, his stare becoming more and more intense.

Just as the men were locked in a stalemate, none of them willing to back down,

She suddenly grabbed all four of their hands and, in one swift motion, stuffed all the food from their chopsticks into her mouth.

It happened so fast that before the four men could even register it, her cheeks were already bulging.

The men froze, staring at her in astonishment.

With her mouth stuffed, Shen Yue thought, ’Good thing they didn’t pick pieces that were too big, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to fit them all.’

She chewed with all her might, her cheeks puffed out and her face turning red from the effort. The sight was both adorable and heart-wrenching.

Huang Ziyue’s eyes immediately narrowed, and he ordered in a cold voice,

"Spit it out."

Mu Silin’s heart ached.

"Quick, spit it out! Don’t choke yourself."

Lan Cangyue froze.

Bai Chaosi looked at her, his heart aching, his tone turning urgent.

"Stop eating, just spit it out. You’re going to choke."

Ye Lüqi shot to his feet, saying nervously,

"I told you all to just let her eat in peace! You had to do this! Look at the position you’ve put her in!"

Gu Fangqi also frowned slightly, looking at Shen Yue with worry.

’I can’t believe she ate all four pieces.’

’I thought she was going to choose one of them.’

’By using this method, it seemed like she chose everyone, which also meant she chose no one.’

’So, I still have no idea who she cares about most!’

Meanwhile, the little cubs, who had been eating happily, saw what was happening to Shen Yue and immediately started shouting,

"You four bad guys! You insisted on feeding our female mother and now you made her choke!"

"Don’t you get it? Only little babies need to be fed! Our female mother is a grown-up, she doesn’t need feeding!"

"Female mother, are you okay? Er Bao doesn’t want you to be uncomfortable!"

Shen Yue kept chewing forcefully, unable to speak. Only after she had finished chewing and swallowed everything was she finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

She grabbed her glass of red wine, took a large gulp, and finally managed to reassure them,

"I’m fine, I’m fine! Your female mother is okay. Don’t be scared, sit down and eat!"

Hearing this, the little cubs sat back down and obediently went back to eating.

But Huang Ziyue, Mu Silin, and the others all looked at her, their faces full of guilt.

Bai Chaosi spoke up.

"Are you feeling better? It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have done that!"
