All My Colleagues Are Animals 71p1

Chapter 71 p1

A few hours ago—

5 PM.

Wu Shu arrived at the Emerald Lake Villa on time.

“Miss Bird, good afternoon.”

The staff had been waiting at the gate of the lake villa in advance. They warmly welcomed her in and led her to a lakeside dressing room.

The dressing room was extremely spacious and luxurious, with a large floor-to-ceiling window offering a wide and beautiful view of the lake.

As such a large panther, Wu Shu was not used to small spaces, and this dressing room made her relax a little.

“Miss Bird, please sit.”

She was seated in front of a dressing mirror.

The panther somewhat disliked the action of humans pressing her down.

Her dark eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous growl, characteristic of a large feline, unconsciously rumbled in her throat.

The staff member inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine.

She took a deep breath and said with a smile:

“Miss Bird, please look to your right. That is the gown you will be wearing tonight.”

Wu Shu glanced to her right.

The gown was a dark, gilded gold. Exquisite leopard embroidery was wrapped around the waist, and a leather sleeve cuff on the right arm was ascetic. At a glance, it had the free and easy air of a knight-errant, yet was not without elegance.

It complemented the black panther’s sharp aura perfectly.

“Are you satisfied with the gown?”

—Without any warning, a woman’s voice, as gentle as water, floated in from the door and pierced Wu Shu’s heart.

Her chest tightened, and her eyes suddenly darkened.

“You may all leave now. I’ll help her change.”

The woman instructed in a gentle voice, and the staff quickly left.

Click, clack…

It was the elegant sound of high heels on the wooden floor.

The sound was getting closer and closer, yet it was becoming harder and harder to hear.

Because her heart was pounding violently in her chest, almost drowning out all other sounds.

Wu Shu took a deep breath.

Her hands, hanging by her side, moved slightly, her fingertips digging into her palms, creating a deep pain.

Bai Zhiwan came up behind her.

Her pair of smiling, bright eyes looked into the dressing mirror, wantonly tracing the young woman’s face.

“Miss Bird Sister, why are you not speaking?”

Wu Shu’s smooth, dark hair suddenly and silently became fluffy, and a cowlick even popped up from the top of her head.

The big cat’s fur had bristled.

“It seems you’re not satisfied with the gown.”

Bai Zhiwan’s smile suddenly faded slightly, and she let out a melancholic sigh.

Wu Shu’s heart tightened, her expression cool. “…I’m satisfied.”

“Is that so.”

Bai Zhiwan raised a hand, and her fingertips leisurely smoothed down the panther’s embarrassed and angry cowlick. “Then I’ll help you change into it.”

Wu Shu’s eyes were dark and obscure.

She said coldly, “Is Miss Bai very free right now?”

Bai Zhiwan tilted her head slightly, her face showing a puzzled look. “How did you know my surname is Bai?”

The panther: “!”

The panther: “…I guessed.”

“Miss Bird is very impressive.”

Bai Zhiwan smiled again, as if she had been convinced.

But, she pronounced the word “Bird” with a certain emphasis on her tongue, as if a deep meaning was attached to it.

“My surname is indeed Bai, and tonight is indeed my wedding banquet.”

“But the other host of the banquet has not yet arrived, and I’m a little bored.”

As she spoke, she slowly walked up to Wu Shu, and her snow-white fingertips wrapped around the young woman’s shirt button.

She continued in a gentle voice, “I just happened to be passing by, so I’ll help you change.”

Hearing “the other host of the wedding banquet,” Wu Shu’s breath instantly became unsteady, and she was so agitated that she almost transformed into her beast form.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and managed to stop herself.

…She wasn’t exposed, right?

She looked up at Bai Zhiwan as if unintentionally. The woman’s lashes were slightly lowered, and her gentle and otherworldly face showed a certain seriousness and composure.

Just like three years ago.

And even with a bit more of a mature charm.

Wu Shu’s throat couldn’t help but move, and she swallowed lightly.

Her thick lashes hid the smile in her eyes. Bai Zhiwan’s fingertips moved, and she quickly unbuttoned the young woman’s shirt.

“Miss Bird, please stand up.”

Wu Shu was lost in thought and unconsciously and cooperatively stood up.

Her shirt was taken off, leaving only a black bra.

The young woman had an excellent figure.

Her skin was firm, her waist was slender, and her muscle lines were bold and vigorous, with a beast-like vitality.

Realizing that Bai Zhiwan’s gaze was lingering on her body, the panther secretly took a breath.

Her abdomen tightened, and she deliberately and super-consciously showed off the perfect lines she had been working on recently.

The corners of Bai Zhiwan’s lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

She did not spare her praise. “Miss Bird’s body lines are particularly beautiful. May I feel them for a moment?”

Her pair of gentle eyes were clear, with a pure appreciation.

Wu Shu pursed her lips and lifted her head with a certain pride.

Ridiculous.

She had been working out and swimming desperately these past few days. Was it for a bad woman to pet?

A second later, the panther’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she snorted coldly.

“Only once.”

Bai Zhiwan looked at her with an ambiguous expression and, unhurriedly, placed her fingertips on her.

The woman’s soft, white fingers brought a warm and delicate touch. As they lightly traced her muscle lines, Wu Shu’s body couldn’t help but tremble.

Her abdomen instantly tensed up even more.

Her breathing quickened, and she suddenly felt an itch spread from her abdomen all the way to the top of her head, and a pair of panther ears seemed to be about to pop out.

Worried about being exposed, she was suddenly anxious and raised a hand to slap Bai Zhiwan’s hand away.

“No more petting!”

Suddenly being so fierce.

Bai Zhiwan’s heart tingled, and she actually felt a certain dampness seep out.

She bit her lip without a change in expression, her tone still composed.

“Alright, it’s time to put on the gown.”

When Bai Zhiwan went to get the gown, Wu Shu took off her long pants herself.

It wasn’t that she was being obedient, but mainly because she was afraid the bad woman would want to touch her legs too, which would be a little embarrassing for a panther.

And so, the moment Bai Zhiwan turned around, she saw that the young woman was tall and slender, with excellent proportions.

The lines of her legs were also firm and beautiful.

Paired with that cool and deep face, it was truly a visual feast.

Bai Zhiwan’s throat tightened slightly.

The gown was not difficult to put on.

Bai Zhiwan’s movements were clean and restrained. She zipped up the fine chain for Wu Shu and also fastened the sleeve cuff.

She admired her for a few moments and smiled gently, like spring water. “It fits very well. It’s just as I imagined.”

The bad woman’s smile was really beautiful.

Wu Shu was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she remembered that she was just Bai Zhiwan’s pre-wedding boredom-killer, and her expression immediately turned cold.

She opened her mouth to shoo her away. “Since you’ve changed, you can go now.”

“Wait a moment,” Bai Zhiwan said, unhurriedly. “There is one more, most important accessory.”

“Could I trouble Miss Bird to open the first drawer in front of you and take out the box inside?”

Wu Shu looked at this bad woman suspiciously.

She was silent for two seconds, then did as she was told and took out the box, handing it to Bai Zhiwan.

But Bai Zhiwan did not take it.

She, with Wu Shu holding the box, lightly opened the lid and took out an item from inside.

Jingle-jingle.

A light shake would make a clear sound of a silver bell.

The sound was so familiar it was bone-deep. Wu Shu’s pupils instantly constricted, and her scalp tightened.

She shot up from her seat, casually put down the box, and was about to rush out.

“I still have things to do, so I’ll be leaving…”

“Stop.”

The woman’s voice was still as gentle as an evening breeze, but the light command that she uttered made Wu Shu unconsciously and obediently freeze in place.

Bai Zhiwan raised a hand and, with a light push, made Wu Shu stumble back two steps.

Then she unhurriedly wrapped the dark leopard-print collar around the young woman’s slender neck.

With a click, the collar was firmly fastened.

Like a certain fate.

“…Panther, where else do you want to go?”

Bai Zhiwan held the leather of the collar and pulled it firmly in her direction.

The tall and slender young woman was thus forced to bend down and lean close to her.

That cool and cold-faced black panther, in this posture, actually showed a certain submission.

“Let me guess.”

Bai Zhiwan’s usually gentle eyes were now as deep as the sea, and a certain hysterical madness floated within them.

A wet crimson gradually seeped from the corners of her eyes.

She chuckled lightly.

“This time, are you planning to hide in a deserted forest?”

“Or cross the ocean?”

“In short, just like last time, you’re going to leave without a word, without any warning, and be happy and free on your own. Leaving me alone, unable to find you no matter what.”

Wu Shu’s breath was heavy at the words.

This woman, one sentence after another, made it sound as if it had been her, the panther, who had heartlessly abandoned her back then, completely twisting the truth.

And she had only just started, but Bai Zhiwan’s eyes were already completely red, and her usually composed tone was also tinged with a fragile tremor, as if she were sincerely and emotionally complaining of a grievance.

But she was going to get married to someone else in a few hours!

How could she, how could she be so bad?

Wu Shu was so angry that her breath trembled. She suddenly raised a hand and held Bai Zhiwan’s shoulder tightly, and forcefully pushed the woman down onto the sofa on the side.

The next second, she transformed into a black panther, and a low, angry growl came from her throat.

Her huge panther paw mercilessly pressed against the human’s fragile throat. With just a little force, the human would be crushed at her sharp claws.
