TL: Moonlit
The soft and sweet voice of the little female sounded like a teasing melody, plucking at William’s heart.
The tall and stoic male clenched his jaw, but his golden beast-like eyes shone with a hint of joy that couldn’t be concealed.
His canine ears on top of his head swayed uncontrollably. After a moment of silence, a restrained and low voice could be heard, “Hmm.”
A radiant smile instantly appeared on Lin Su’s face. He took out a small bell from the box and said, “I’ll help you put it on.”
Without waiting for William’s agreement or disagreement, Lin Su reached out and put the small bell on William’s ankle.
Due to his half-beast transformation, William’s legs and feet were completely in a beast-like state.
He had large fox-like claws, and there were soft pads under his feet. Lin Su couldn’t resist poking them lightly and was unexpectedly pleased with how they felt.
The red woven chain contrasted against the white fur, appearing particularly vibrant and carrying a hint of tempting allure.
With a gentle flick of the three small bells, they produced a crisp and pleasing sound.
Lin Su turned to look at William and said, “It looks really good. I knew the red color would suit you when I bought it.”
William turned his head and glanced at Lin Su’s smiling face, mechanically nodding.
His hand by his side unconsciously grasped the ground. How could the little female be so adorable?
Lin Su was very satisfied with the effect of the bell on William. He stood up from the ground and rummaged through a bag, saying, “I bought you two sets of clothes, as well as underwear for changing. Oh, and when I bought the bed today, I also happened to win a wrist-type smart brain from some company. It’s said to be their latest product. I didn’t expect to be so lucky.”
While listening to the little female beside him talk about what he had done today, William couldn’t speak, but he diligently remembered every word.
Lin Su put the newly bought items into the wardrobe and took the change of clothes to go take a bath.
After a long ride and sweating, he felt sticky and uncomfortable.
William leaned against the edge of the bed, half-closing his eyes as he looked at the red string that was exposed on his ankle, recalling Lin Su’s earlier words, “I might not know what other wives are like, but my wife must have gold jewelry on them.” He narrowed his eyes.
Was he being treated as a wife?
In the morning, Lin Su had breakfast and then began tidying up the room to make space for the new bed that was coming.
William wanted to help, but he ended up being supported by Su Jin to go outside and bask in the sun.
Seeing him sitting there looking gloomy, Kane patted his shoulder and said, “You rest well now. Taking care of your health is the best way to help them.”
As someone who had gone through the same illness, he knew the pain he had caused to this family.
“Eh, Kane, enjoying the sun?”
Suddenly, someone called his name, and Kane turned to see Alan, their neighbor who lived two streets away, smiling and speaking, “Yes, it’s a good weather to sunbathe. Why do you have the time to come over to my side?”
Kane propped himself up and slowly walked towards Alan. With the improvement in his physical condition over the past few days, he could walk for a while without leaning against the wall.
Seeing Kane able to walk, Alan was surprised and asked, “You’ve recovered so well now. Did you use tranquilizers?”
Kane reached the front gate of the yard. Although he was a bit out of breath, his complexion was very good as he smiled and replied, “I didn’t use tranquilizers. It’s all thanks to my family’s little one.”
Such a simple statement made Alan even more astonished. “It’s not the effect of tranquilizers but purified fruits and vegetables?”
“Well, it’s related,” Kane didn’t elaborate and just nodded, saying, “By the way, what brings you over?”
Alan looked perplexed for a moment, then relaxed and spoke, “Nothing, I just heard that you’re doing well and came to see for myself. Also, I heard that Tang Ran’s family had been caught for attempting to sabotage your deal with the enforcement department because of resentment. They will be detained for 15 days and have to pay a fine for disturbing public order and economic compensation to your family. It won’t be long before your family receives that money. This person, really, know someone’s face but not their heart. Also, his son’s partner doesn’t seem to be a good person.”
Kane was also aware of Drew’s infidelity with Xiao Feng, Tang Ou’s friend, but that matter had little to do with their family. He was just glad to see Tang Ran, the bad person, being punished.
Just as they were talking, a truck slowly approached from a distance, catching Alan’s attention. He couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, whose stuff is that?”
A young male sat in the passenger seat and leaned out of the car window, asking, “Uncle, is this the Lin Su family?”
“What did you buy?” Alan immediately turned his head and looked at Kane, who replied, “Yes, it’s the Lin Su family. Wait for me to open the gate.”
Alan reached out to help Kane open the gate. “This purchase seems substantial, right?”
“Yes, it’s a new bed.” Kane smiled and stepped aside.
Lin Su and Su Jin, who heard the commotion, came out of the house and saw Kane and Alan standing by the yard. Su Jin walked over and said, “Big Brother Alan is here. Kane, let’s go inside and have a chat. We’ll be busy here for a while, so be careful not to bump into anything.”
“Let’s go, Alan. We’ll sit inside and chat.”
“I won’t stand on ceremony then.”
Alan was now extremely curious about the Lin Su family. In the past, their lives were in such a difficult state, and everyone thought they wouldn’t make it. Who could have imagined that Lin Su, who couldn’t find a partner due to not having a beast mark at the age of mating and being unable to form a contract with a contract beast, not only successfully formed a contract but also possessed the purification ability that everyone dreamed of. Even Kane’s mental disorder was getting better and better.
Even if his forced match doesn’t seem great right now, with his purification ability, who knows, maybe one day he’ll be able to cure people!
Even if not, having money is enough to extend one’s life.
No matter how you think about it, Alan felt that they couldn’t afford to offend the Lin Su family. Not only should they not offend them, but they should also get along well with them.
The people from the furniture store made three trips to completely move in and out of the belongings, and then they were responsible for assembling the bed.
The large double bed occupied half of the room’s space, but even so, Lin Su still felt that this bed was chosen perfectly.
The pure black headboard matched the deep blue bed sheets and covers. Although it didn’t have fancy decorations, it had a special sense of luxury.
Kane brought Alan inside for a tour. “Is it done?”
Lin Su smiled and said, “Yes, Male Father, what do you think?”
“Not bad, it’s grand.” Kane reached out and pressed the bed, feeling that the firmness was just right. “Let’s have William come in and take a look later.”
Alan, who followed Kane and peeked inside, exclaimed, “This bed looks so good. The bed my kid bought is about the same size as yours, but it’s covered with a bunch of fancy stuff. He says it looks good, but I don’t see what’s so good about it. I find your simple and comfortable-looking bed more pleasing. Did it cost quite a bit?”
“More than 2,800. I don’t know if that’s a lot or a little.”
“How much? Over 2,800?” Alan’s eyes widened, and his voice involuntarily rose. “That’s too cheap. The bed my kid bought is twice the price of yours. That cheap bed makes noise with every movement, and it’s all fancy. I really don’t see what’s so good about it. If only I had gone with you back then!”
Kane patted his shoulder and comforted him, “Alright, it’s already been bought, and it’s what they liked. Don’t keep complaining.”
Alan sighed, “I just feel like it’s not worth the money. Look at this bed in your house, so simple and grand, making the room much brighter. But you’re right, it’s already been bought, and there’s no point in returning it. Let it go.”
“Why are you so happy chatting? Let’s eat something outside. Standing there is tiring, isn’t it?” Su Jin called out to them while holding a bowl of clean cherry tomatoes. Alan, seeing this, quickly said, “It’s about time for me to go back too. Kane, now that you’re better, take care of your health!”
“I know, won’t you stay a little longer?”
“No, no, you guys are busy.” Alan waved his hand and walked out with a smile. He wasn’t the kind of person who would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t take advantage of a good deal. The purified fruits and vegetables were quite expensive, and being treated politely by others was not something he took for granted. He had to have self-awareness.
After tidying up the room and coming out, Lin Su said to William, “Come, let me support you back to the room. Tonight, you won’t have to sleep on the floor.”
Not having to sleep on the floor… that’s something…
Kane, who came out of the room and saw William being supported by Lin Su into the room, whispered to Su Jin with suspicion, “Has William worsened again? Why was he walking like that, dragging his feet?”

Lin Su: Quickly, come to the bed!
