A while later, Luther sluggishly walked downstairs around 4 in the evening. He was feeling refreshed after that good night's sleep.
And of course, his angelic piercing eyes immediately fell on his wifey, who was sitting serenely on the table and browsing something on the internet.
On her lap was the cute tiger cub, little white, that had tagged along with them from the mountain ranges.
The woman and the cub pair looked pretty good together, with Su Lin's one hand softly patting the furry thing on her lap.
And the little tiger was purring accordingly as if it was the best feeling in the world.
Luther's fragile little heart instantly burnt with the jealousy of a thousand blazing suns. He silently resolved to toss that white thing into nothingness the first chance he gets.
After sulking for a while, he tiptoed and joined Su Lin on the table, with his upper body still naked.
He playfully ruffled his hair making sure that the water droplets from his wet hair fell directly on the elegant woman staring at the computer absentmindedly.
"Damn you, Luther." Su Lin scoffed angrily. One of the droplets fell right on her eyes and causing a slight albeit insignificant irritation.
Luther snickered and brashly grabbed the piping hot cup of tea from Su Lin's hands.
He then went ahead and sipped the delicious aromatic concoction, while giving a stink eye to little white.
"mmmm... My darling makes the best tea." He didn't forget to praise his wifey's efforts after heartlessly stealing her tea from her hands.
Su Lin couldn't help but laugh at his obvious cry for attention and closed the laptop.
She then placed her chin on her palm and stared sweetly at the grinning man in front of her, finally giving him the complete attention that he was begging for.
Luther immediately felt his face heating up and turned away to hide the blush creeping up.
This guy... He always asks for things that he can't handle. Su Lin grinned.
Little white on her lap immediately snarled and purred loudly indicating its disapproval for the human that had just joined them.
The trio joked around until finally, the other members had also woken up from their long restful slumber.
They were too lazy to cook anything and ordered a lavish dinner for the group.
Su Lin quickly called Mignani over as well, converting the evening into a small welcome back party for themselves.
The excited girl quickly rushed over, abandoning the script she was currently reading in her bedroom side table. She was eagerly rushing to see Su Lin and Runyan after a long time.
Having been severely betrayed by someone whom she had once considered as her close friend and her sister, Mignani now struggled to trust anyone else.
These two were probably the only people she still trusted.
Sometimes success and happiness are defined by the people around you rather than the big fat bank balance.
With the arrival of Mignani, Monkey now had two women to hit on, and the party instantly livened up with his ridiculous antics.
At first, Mignani was utterly shocked at the sight of Su Lin and Runyan. There was something about them that seemed to be different.
It was as if their entire being was glowing in invisible light. In fact, both of them looked like A-list celebrities even without any makeup on.
But knowing her sister's prowess in medicinal baths, Mignani just assumed the obvious and did not ask any further prying questions.
It was not as if she was hanging out with them for the benefits. If it was something that was meant to be shared, she that Su Lin herself would openly offer it.
And then, she saw little white...
Damn! Just what were these guys up to these past few months.
Ferocious animal cubs such as lion and tiger cubs were extremely difficult to nurse and pet. They all had that inborn arrogant attitude and weird behavior, especially when separated from their natural parents.
But the little white on Su Lin's lap seemed to be completely docile and domesticated. It was behaving no differently than the next door tabby cat.
Mignani played around with it for a while, and little white as well seemed to enjoy this new stranger's touch.
So far, it was only comfortable hanging out with Su Lin and Runyan, and now with Mignani.
Monkey gave it a knowing look, clearly implying, "I know what you are up to! you damn shady cat!"
If any of them even went near it, the spoilt little thing would snarl loudly and make a huge fuss.
So they all stayed away, not wanting to inconvenience their Master's precious pet.
After a few drinks in, the three women started chatting amongst themselves ignoring the ruffians who were buffooning around in the room.
Mignani chugged one more can of beer and curiously asked Su Lin, "So what are you planning to do now, sis?"
Considering that she was pretty drunk, she had already decided to stay over for the night.
Su Lin chugged the drink in her hand as well and replied with a twinkle in her eyes, "I think I will probably do some hunting."
She gazed over lovingly at Luther as she muttered those last few words. It was time some people paid back for their sins.
"Hunting?" Mignani was confused. "And after that?"
"After that, probably build an empire to rule over this world." Su Lin chuckled, as she absentmindedly replied with her gaze still on that devilishly handsome man.
Mignani couldn't help but snort out the drink she was chugging in surprise.
In this entire world, only her sister can answer a normal question with something completely ridiculous like this!!
And the worst part was, it might very well be true. She could never tell what is a joke, when it comes to this mysterious friend of hers!
