Case 2. Love Murderer: Chapter 25. Truth Or Deceit

The next morning, when Zhan Zhao got up, he saw Bai Yutang leaning on one side dozing off. His face was haggard and his head lowered. The little lion in his arms was biting its own tail. When it saw Zhan Zhao awake, it rubbed against him. Zhan Zhao rubbed its head then looked at Bai Yutang. "Xiao Bai, you have very dark circles under your eyes."

Bai Yutang rolled his eyes and looked at Zhan Zhao. "I just hung up the phone."

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "Your mom was scolding you for that long?"

Bai Yutang pulled on his ear and said, "my ears are ringing."

"Would you like to get some sleep?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Bai Yutang shook his head. "Dad told me to go home and get my blood tested. If I'm not his biological son, he will kill me. If I am, he will still kill me."

Zhan Zhao was speechless. "Why only you?"

Bai Yutang leaned over and hugged Zhan Zhao. "Cat..."

Zhan Zhao comforted him.

Then, the two quickly got up, washed and changed their clothes. Zhan Zhao carried the lion cub downstairs, as the housekeeper brought him a bottle of milk, which he fed the lion cub. The housekeeper whispered to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "the little lion drinks milk four times a day, and he can eat simple food, such as tender raw meat, but nothing more."

Zhan Zhao was slightly surprised. He looked at the housekeeper and asked, "what do you mean?"

The housekeeper said, "the cub can't directly drink milk. It drinks milk powder, with a certain amount of glucose." As he spoke, he handed Bai Yutang a list and said, "this is its food list."

Bai Yutang smiled, took the recipe and said to Zhan Zhao, "Cat, I think Zhao Jue wants to give the cub to you."

Zhan Zhao looked at the lion cub. It was very cute, but Zhan Zhao hesitated and said, "it's cute now, but once it grows up, will it be as big as Li Siben? Zhao Zhen's Li Siben has been raised for 10 years, so it's quite close to human beings. Zhao Zhen is also a magician and needs to perform... But we live in the city..."

After hearing this, Bai Yutang was also a little worried. After all, lions were extremely dangerous cats. Although they looked cute when they were young, once they reached adulthood, then... Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were also very busy with work in the city...

"Don't worry." The housekeeper suddenly said, "Master asked me to tell you that it will not get bigger."

"What?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, then they looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper smiled helplessly and said, "that's what the master said, and I've been taking care of the cub for more than a month. It has not gotten bigger at all. If you look at its diet, even when it becomes an adult, it will eat only as much as a dog."

Zhan Zhao stared at the lion cub for a long time, then looked up at Bai Yutang. "Then it won't become as handsome as Li Siben?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly and said, "Cat, you are contradicting yourself."

Zhan Zhao also felt the same. After thinking about it, he asked the housekeeper, "where is Zhao Jue?"

"Master is still sleeping. He says he won't see you off today. He has already told you everything he knows." The housekeeper replied politely, then said while leaving, "I'll get breakfast. Please eat first before you leave."

At this time, Bai Chi and Luo Tian arrived. As soon as Bai Chi heard that the little lion had been given to Zhan Zhao, Bai Chi said happily, "Li Siben has a playmate now." When Bai Chi heard that the cub would not get any bigger, Bai Chi was even happier. "This is great! Did you know that Zhao Zhen spends more than $20,000 a year on raising Li Siben?"
