Chapter 538 Promise
"I didn't even know I was pregnant with your baby back then..." Bai Wanwan muttered softly, her eyes darting around, clearly guilty, trying to get away with it by being cute.

Chief Rong could easily see through her little scheme. He took her hand, his rough fingertips caressing the back of her delicate hand, leaned closer, and said in a deep voice that only the two of them could hear, "Wanwan, this is the second time."

His tone contained little blame, but rather helplessness and anticipation: "Next time, I must witness the birth of our cub with my own eyes."

Although he already has two litters of cubs that are related to her by blood, he would never mind having more as long as they are born to Wanwan.

Deep down, he even had a strong, inexplicable desire to see the next litter of tiger cubs brought into the world by Wanwan, under his careful care and constant vigil.

"Okay, next time I'll definitely let you see the tiger cubs born with your own eyes." Bai Wanwan met his focused and deep gaze, nodded seriously, and made a promise.

The other males, knowing that Chief Rong had not seen his beloved female for a long time and that his longing must be deep, all understood and left them some space.

They tacitly went about their own business, either checking the tribe's defenses or settling their luggage, without crowding around Bai Wanwan.

Xin Feng thoughtfully prepared to take Shuang Hua away first to arrange comfortable accommodations for her.

Shuanghua was a sensible person. After Bai Wanwan introduced her and Qiu Rong to each other, she smiled and took Bai Wanwan's hand, saying, "Wanwan, then Aunt Shuang will go and settle things with Xinfeng first. We've really been tired from the journey. Once we've rested, Aunt Shuang will come to see you and the children again."

"Okay, Aunt Shuang, this is your home from now on. Don't be shy, just tell Xin Feng, Zhu Xiu, or any beastman if you need anything," Bai Wanwan quickly instructed.

"Alright, alright, Aunt Shuang won't stand on ceremony with you." Shuanghua smiled and agreed, then left with Xinfeng.

One by one, the males around them dispersed, and Chief Rong led Bai Wanwan by the hand slowly toward their newly built dwelling.

The new house looks great from every angle. It's more spacious and sturdier than the previous dwelling, and it blends the ruggedness of the Tiger Clan with the comfortable details that Bai Wanwan likes.

Unfortunately, before she could properly live and enjoy her life, she was kidnapped by Roger and went through a series of upheavals.

But when she looked around, she found that everything in the house was still the same as when she left, even cleaner and tidier, obviously because the chieftain cleaned and tidied it regularly.

She was about to continue forward to see her children whom she hadn't seen for so long when the chieftain gently grabbed her wrist.

Bai Wanwan turned around in confusion, but before she could speak, a strong male arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her into a firm and warm embrace.

Immediately afterwards, the chieftain's fiery breath enveloped her, carrying an irresistible force, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips.

The kiss initially carried a lingering longing and the preciousness of something lost and found, but soon, the chieftain's breathing became heavier and heavier, and the hands around her waist tightened, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

He considered himself never a lustful male. Tribal affairs occupied most of his energy, but as soon as he got involved with Wanwan, all his self-control melted away like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

Especially after her pregnancy, her body became more voluptuous and supple, exuding a mature and alluring charm that made him unable to put her down and only want more.

Bai Wanwan was also aroused by his sudden and aggressive passion, and her body went slightly weak.

But she was still thinking about her babies, and after the long journey, she felt uncomfortable all over. Always a clean person, she tried to turn her head away to avoid his burning kiss, pushing against his chest with unsteady breath: "Wait... Chief, I haven't seen the babies yet... I have to go see them first before I can feel at ease."

The chieftain held her waist tightly, refusing to let go. Her slightly protruding belly pressed closely against him, arousing a strange protective and possessive instinct in him.

The lust in his eyes hadn't faded, and his voice was terribly hoarse: "The babies are all safe. Can't we go see them later?"

At this moment, he only wanted to possess his female exclusively.

“Hmm…no,” Bai Wanwan said firmly, shaking her head. “I have to see them safe and sound first.”

Seeing her insistence, even though he was burning with desire, Chief Rong had no choice but to take a deep breath, forcefully suppress his surging desire, and slowly loosen his arms, though his large hand still held hers tightly.

"The young children are playing in the treehouse. The older ones... are already able to go out with the tribe's hunting teams to learn and gain experience." The chieftain's tone carried a hint of barely perceptible pride.

Hearing that the older children were already able to go out with the hunting team, Bai Wanwan felt a surge of joy and pride, as if her children were growing up, which temporarily dispelled the ambiguous atmosphere from before.

The chieftain led her through a side door up to the enormous tree that had been cleverly transformed into a natural staircase and platform.

Before she even reached the top, she could already hear the chicks playing and frolicking in the treehouse above, chattering away, full of energy.

To give her children a happy childhood, she specially had many small and cute treehouses built among these sturdy tree branches, filled with all kinds of small toys made of soft animal hides, smooth wood and colorful feathers.

The little creatures inside the treehouse seemed to sense something, and one by one, their fluffy little heads peeked out from the windows or doorways, their little noses sniffing the air.

Upon smelling the familiar scent of their father and mother, the leopard cubs and wolf cubs immediately let out excited howls and rushed out of the treehouse like little cannonballs, heading straight for Bai Wanwan.

They kept circling around her calves, rubbing their heads against her, and making pitiful yet dependent whimpering sounds.

At the highest point, in the nest lined with soft hay and colorful feathers, several little phoenixes chirped excitedly, flapping their wings, which were already beginning to take on a beautiful shape, and lightly flew down to Bai Wanwan's shoulders and arms, affectionately touching her cheeks and hair with their still-soft beaks.

Bai Wanwan's heart was instantly filled with immense happiness and tenderness.

She simply sat down on the wide tree trunk platform, hugged each of the little ones who were scrambling into her arms, stroked their little heads one by one, checked if they had lost weight, and patiently played with them.

"Mother, mother! Where have you gone? Your little one misses you so much!"

"Waaah... Mother, why didn't you take the baby with you when you went out? The baby is very well-behaved!"

The babies chattered excitedly, expressing their longing and "grievances," all clinging to her legs or arms and acting coquettishly, as if trying to make up for all the intimacy they had missed during this time.
