Chapter 683: Chapter 681: Fourth Brother Encounters Three Young Girls_1
Hunao’s eyes swiveled as it wriggled out of the flowers and moved toward the Leopard House, taking tiny steps with its short legs.
Even though it was certain that Leibao wouldn’t wake up, it was still prepared to run away at any moment.
“Wow, what a cute little tiger cub!”
A girl’s delighted cheer erupted abruptly, breaking the silence of the quiet afternoon.
“Gah!”
Hunao’s fur bristled in surprise before it turned and ran toward the flowers.
A pair of delicate embroidered shoes blocked its path, scaring the little tiger into shivering then jumping backward twice.
“Hunao, what are you doing here at the Leopard House instead of staying at Fluttering Snow Residence?”
Lin Qingluo bent down, picking up the cute and silly tiger cub, affectionately pinching its wet little nose.
“Achoo!”
Hunao involuntarily sneezed, amusing everyone present.
“Qingluo, is this little tiger cub yours? It’s so adorable, can I hold it?”
Princess Huimin’s attention was immediately drawn to the tiger cub, eagerly extending her hand.
“Of course.”
Without any hesitation, Lin Qingluo placed the cub into her arms.
“Gah!”
Hunao drooped its little head, casting a resentful glance at its master.
This always happened; its master treated it like a lucky mascot, allowing others to hold and squeeze it.
“Hehe.”
Lin Qingluo laughed happily, meeting its resentful gaze.
“Little tiger cub, how adorable.”
Princess Huimin had a soft spot for cute animals, and her heart melted as she hugged the cute and silly cub, momentarily forgetting about any fierce beasts.
“Huimin, we want to hold it too.”
Li Mulin and He Biqiu were also enamored by the tiger cub, reaching out their hands in unison.
“I haven’t held it enough yet.”
Princess Huimin was unwilling to let go, turning her body sideways to avoid their hands.
“Gah!”
A slight movement accidentally pinched some fur on the cub’s right arm, making it shiver in pain. The cub struggled a few times before finally leaping out of her embrace and scampering into the flowers on its short legs.
“Ah, the little tiger cub has run away!”
The three girls exclaimed in unison before instinctively following the path in pursuit.
Hunao continued to run forward in panic, listening to the girls’ noisy chattering, until it leapt out of the flowers and tried to cross the path to the artificial mountain on the opposite side.
Its head bumped into a pair of black boots.
“Hunao?”
Lin Jinyun bent down, picking up the tiger cub that had crashed into his boot. He fondled the adorable furry creature in his arms, gently stroking its fur.
“Gah!”
Recognizing a familiar face, Hunao’s eyes swiveled, pretending to be frightened and curling its body further into Lin Jinyun’s embrace.
“Little tiger cub, don’t run!”
“It’s over there!”
The three girls arrived in pursuit, noticing the little tiger cub in Lin Jinyun’s arms. Their eyes brightened as they gathered around.
Their three hands reached simultaneously for the cub.
“Gah!”
Hunao let out a soft cry and buried its head deeper into Lin Jinyun’s arms.
Lin Jinyun’s eyes darkened as he quickly stepped backward, avoiding the outstretched hands.
“Hey, you’re so rude! Why are you stealing our little tiger cub?”
Princess Huimin raised her eyebrow in displeasure, hands on her hips as she boldly questioned him.
“Miss, you seem to have misunderstood something. This is my house, and Hunao is my sister’s pet. When did it become yours?”
Lin Jinyun frowned slightly, retreating another three steps to avoid the oncoming saliva.
“Your house? Who are you?”
Princess Huimin was single-minded in trying to snatch the tiger cub and hadn’t caught on yet.
