Chapter 39 - The Ravenous Tigress

In the meantime, Lina was watching an old movie out of boredom, there was nothing much she could do with so many restrictions. Frustrated, she picked up the remote controller and switched the channel to an international news channel. Suddenly, the screen went blank... within a minute the signal was cut.

'I want to roast that chicken-head...'

Lina's expressions darkened as she raised her head to glare at the CCTV camera on the corner side and with a bang, she slammed the controller on the table. Previously, she was puzzled. why does this villa had so many camera's but now she understands it was to keep a close eye on the hostage. A single movement from her side and there was immediate retaliation.

She wonders if there was a hostage before her or it's her second time to be the one?

Behind the screen, frightened Little Tiger intuitively shut his eye's tight as he was scared she will jump out of the screen and beat him up.

His little nose and eyebrow wrinkled together. Sneakily, he opened his right eye a little and saw her when she banged the remote on the table and instantly he closed shut them more tightly.

Beside him, Lu Junhui's laughed at his cute reaction as he hugged the boy and said tenderly, " Xiao Hu, She can't see you nor she can touch you. So relax baby, you're safe with your Uncle. Ok?"

Reluctantly, Little Tiger nodded his head.

Since the past few days, Little Tiger was watching over Lina. He had never seen Lina's various reactions, in the past, she was like a dead human with no reactions. He has never seen her smile or any kind of expressions, Little Tiger was completely immersed in her. Surprisingly, He couldn't take his eye's off her. She was new to him and he was trying to intercept her.

At the end of the week, Lina's sprained leg was recovered fully. She can roam around freely within the set boundaries. From that day, the challenges for Lu Junhui grew as the tug of war between them leveled up. Even if he glared at her, the lady will launch herself to take out his eyeballs.

The situation between them was like a fight between a cat and a mouse. It wasn't suitable for a child's education as there was violence and cursing far outweighs than that of Tom and Jerry show[1]. Besides, the cat has taken the roleplay of Black Cat Detective[2].

Anyhow, Little Tiger enjoyed it fully. Her reactions seizing his attention.

Almost dead, Lu Junhui picked up the glass and offered it to Little Tiger who was completely lost into the woman on the screen. Lu Junhui cursed himself for letting Little Tiger watch her. Since then Little Tiger spent his most time observing that damn woman. Even if she was reading a book or napping.

Meanwhile, the beautiful woman was talking to the cook as they were smiling and laughing together.

Seeing Little Tiger being unmovable and staring at the screen without blinking Lu Junhui rose the glass in front of his face and said, "Little Tiger, first drink and then..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang of the glass shattering on the floor. Stunned, Lu Junhui glanced at his empty hand and the piece of glass lay on the floor. The moment he looked at Little Tiger he was taken back.

Little Tiger's face was darkened as his little ċhėst heaved up and down in anger. He was actually angry. He didn't dare to make a noise, it's truly disastrous to stimulate this Little Fella at the time like this. Moreover, his brother was also not available to tame the raged Little Tiger.

But why is he angry?

Lu Junhui saw the scenario on the screen and his eyes popped out. He was on the verge of crying.

' Little Tiger, It can't be that you're angry because of Lina cooked the first time and she didn't invite you or is it because she offered the dish to the cook to taste.'

Suddenly, Little Tiger pointed towards the screen with his eyes demanding something. His lips stretched into a thin line, he was determinant like it was non-negotiable to talk.

"No...Little Tiger...? Baby, listen to your Uncle. That dish only looks good it won't taste good. It's her first time to cook and it will be awful. I don't want you to suffer." Lu Junhui cried bitterly while trying to attempt something impossible.

Since there was nothing much for Lina can do, she decided to spend her free time in the kitchen learning the new recipes.

On a certain day, Lina chose to cook for herself as she can't eat specific ingredients and needs a balanced she discussed with her nutritionist and the cook, taking their guidance. Both nutritionist and the cook tasted it before giving it a green signal for her to eat and they couldn't believe it was her first time cooking something.

Happily, Lina went to freshen up in her room before eating the food as she felt sticky after cooking. By the time she came back, her food was stolen. After asking for the culprit no one answered her. Instantly, the volcano erupted as she knows who is the criminal.

ChickenHead... you're dead...

Raged, Lina stomped towards West wing for the final battle. Today, it's either Lina or Lu Junhui, only one of them is going to survive one has to take the death bed.

Inside the west wing, frustratingly, Lu Junhui was pulling his own hairs, seeing the tamed Little Tiger eating harmoniously.

That damned woman... My Little Tiger still loves her. What should I do?

At that time, the flared Bai Tian barged in and shouted. "Junhui...You bloody fool, the bitch is coming here. Why did you steal her food? She coming to eat you. Quick, hide Little Tiger."

From the downstairs, Lina roared. "You bastard. Son of a bitch... Come out. I'm going to roast you alive. You thief, how dare you stole my food. I never share my food...If you ate my food then I'm going to eat you."

The voice became more and closer as the chopsticks on Little Tiger's hand fell off, his face turned horrified. Little Tiger was the one who not only stole her food but also ate it. Is she going to eat Little Tiger? The scared child could hardly gulp the food inside his mouth as the tears welled up in his eyes.

Instantly, Little Tiger jumped off and ran to hide behind Bai Tian.

Bang...The door was slammed open and inraged Lina barged into.

"Where are you? Fucking bastard, I'm going to kill...Come out."

Instead of covering Little Tiger, the shivering Lu Junhui hid behind the curtains. He already experienced her anger and had an idea of how fierce she is.

"Lu Junhui...I said come out." Lina roared as she has a sharp knife in her hands. Motioning him to come out so that she can butcher the chicken head.

Standing to the side, Bai Tian felt Little Tiger clutching onto his trousers while quivering in fear. Well right now, She really looked like a hungry tigress ready to have her meal.

Bai Tian also struggled to find the voice to stop her. "H-Hey..."

The ravenous tigress slowly turned, her eyes flaming with fury, she doesn't need a stove to roast she can have a barbeque with those burning eyes.

Oh, So...Never being panicked, man, Bai Tian was also panicking.

'Fuck...Is she for real... Lina?'

"I don't care who the fuċk are you? If you don't want to die...leave now." Lina squeezed the words through the crunching teeth.

The moment her eyes fell on little frame hiding behind Bai Tian she felt electrocuted.

Involuntarily, the knife moves towards and now pointing to them.

"Come out..." shockingly, her voice became high to low.

Blinking once, Little Tiger slightly tilted his head to take a glance of her.

Clank...

The Knife slipped from her hands when Lina saw his teary chocolate eyes gauging her face.

'Oh my god'
