TL: Moonlit

The news of Mu Yin having cubs came suddenly, and it also served as a wake-up call for Lin Su, making him suddenly aware of a long-ignored issue.

The next morning, Lin Su lay on the bed and asked William beside him with a dazed expression, “Did something happen last night?”

William turned his head to look at the slightly confused little female and replied, “What do you mean something happened?”

“I vaguely remember that Big Brother sent you a communication, saying that Brother Mu has cubs, but I’m not entirely sure if I was dreaming,” Lin Su said, knowing that last night, he might have been disturbed and thought he was dreaming.

Seeing Lin Su being adorable, William reached out and pulled him into his arms, “Hmm, you weren’t dreaming. You even congratulated them and promised to go with me to see them today.”

Lin Su replied, “…Yes, it seems like there was such a thing.”

William gently stroked Lin Su’s soft hair and asked, “What are you thinking?”

Lin Su turned over and hugged William’s waist, burying himself in his embrace, and shook his head.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but think, ‘Hmm, I almost forgot, in this world, females do give birth to cubs.’

So…

After having breakfast, Lin Su and William went to the palace together. The palace was particularly lively because of the good news about Mu Yin having cubs.

William had been excited all night, crying and laughing, barely resting. His eyes were red, but he was still in high spirits. Early in the morning, he had all the things in the room changed to materials that would not harm the cubs and Mu Yin. He also bought a cabinet full of clothes and necessities that might be needed for the cubs.

He even wanted to personally go to the academy where Mu Yin taught and ask for his leave.

Mu Yin, who had been annoyed all morning, finally couldn’t stand it anymore and pointed at Will, who was standing beside him, chattering away with his opinions, and said, “Shut up and sit down.”

Will: “…”

He closed his mouth and obediently sat down on the sofa, placing his hands on his knees. He completely changed from his previous excited state, becoming quiet. The now calm Will seemed somewhat innocent.

However, Mu Yin, who had been bothered by him all morning, knew very well that this was Will’s usual trick after making him angry. He didn’t believe that in a while, he wouldn’t be “deceived” again, and his ears and tail wouldn’t give it away.

Just as Mu Yin was thinking about it, a pair of black, pointed canine ears appeared amidst Will’s black hair, gently swaying. The next second, a fluffy black tail also showed itself, pretending to play casually in front of him.

Mu Yin suppressed a laugh in his heart and pretended to be serious, saying, “You can mess around at home as much as you want, but if you dare to cause trouble at the school, be prepared to sleep in the guest room.”

Having said that, he unceremoniously reached out and ruffled the soft and smooth big tail.

Since it was already exposed, there was no harm in ruffling it.

When Lin Su and William entered the room, they saw Will in a half-beast form, just like William’s, sitting on the sofa. Mu Yin held a black tail in his hands and couldn’t help but play with it.

Seeing the black canine ears and the fluffy black tail on Will’s head, Lin Su exclaimed, “Wow!”

He didn’t expect that the brothers were one black and one white!

In Mu Yin’s eyes, he saw a familiar look on Lin Su’s face, and in an instant, he understood that they were kindred spirits.

“Xiao Su, why did you and William come so early? Is there something you need?” Mu Yin put Will’s tail aside, and Will, who was half-beast, coughed lightly, glancing at his own younger brother. He silently retracted his tail.

His younger brother’s current appearance was due to a mental disorder, while his own appearance was to please his little female. The two appearances were mixed and seemed somewhat improper.

William sat calmly on the side, but the white tail hanging behind him twitched, revealing his true feelings. He wondered what Lin Su’s feelings were when he saw Will’s appearance just now. Would he prefer black over his white appearance?

Golden beast eyes surreptitiously swept over the black canine ears that hadn’t disappeared from Will’s head yet.

“Brother Mu, of course, we came to congratulate you and His Majesty! Congratulations on becoming a male father and a female father!” As soon as they said this, Mu Yin understood that Will must have told them about the news, as he hadn’t even made the announcement yet.

Will coughed again, hoping Lin Su wouldn’t say more, or he might expose the truth.

Mu Yin glanced at him with a sharp gaze, “Aren’t you supposed to have a meeting? Why haven’t you left yet?”

Will stood up somewhat awkwardly, “I’ll go now. Lin Su, William, since you’re here, don’t rush back. Stay a bit longer, and I’ll come over after I’m done.”

As he watched Will leave, Mu Yin held Lin Su’s hand, “Let’s go to the garden and chat. I tried baking some cookies using the method you taught me these past few days, and they taste really good. Come, give it a taste.”

William knew that they might want to have a private conversation, so he tactfully didn’t follow them.

Lin Su and Mu Yin arrived at the garden, where the palace attendants brought them cookies and flower tea.

Lin Su took a bite of the cookies that Mu Yin had baked himself. They were crispy, perfectly balanced, and had a pure milk fragrance. He nodded, “You’ve improved a lot, they taste great.”

“Yeah, I’m even planning to audit a few classes at the Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy. I’ve already made an appointment,” Mu Yin replied.

It was evident that Mu Yin was genuinely determined to learn so that he could cook delicious food for his little cub once it was born.

“By the way, Xiao Su, have you and William decided when you want to have a cub? But I understand that you’re still young and not in a hurry,” Mu Yin suddenly brought up this topic, making Lin Su’s heart tighten. Did Mu Yin realize that he only just realized this morning that females could give birth to cubs?

He wasn’t ready for this yet.

The thing was, he hadn’t even thought about it!

It wasn’t a matter of whether he rejected the idea or not. It was just that in his perception, he had never seen himself in the role of a female. Now that he suddenly became aware of it, he felt that he needed time to adapt and accept it.

But he couldn’t tell Mu Yin about these thoughts. After all, Mu Yin, as a native of this world, was accustomed to such things and wouldn’t understand his feelings.

Seeing Lin Su staying silent, Mu Yin thought it was because of his young age and thin skin, so he smiled and said, “Since you feel embarrassed, let’s not talk about this topic. The matter of having a cub can’t be forced; let’s just let it happen naturally.”

Before this, Mu Yin had been quite anxious because Will, as a ruler, had been married for many years without any cubs, and he felt a lot of pressure.

Now, finally, things were looking up.

Lin Su looked at Mu Yin, who unknowingly showed a gentle side, and his heart was slightly moved. Regardless of gender, Mu Yin gave him a beautiful and gentle feeling. At this moment, he felt that having a child with William wouldn’t be a bad idea. It would further bind their relationship together.

Blood ties were indeed a peculiar thing.

Returning from the palace, William noticed that Lin Su seemed to have changed a bit.

Gently embracing Yansu in his arms, William asked softly, “Su Su, what are you thinking?”

Lin Su looked into William’s eyes, which showed concern. His big fox was always so sensitive, always able to detect his slightest changes.

He hugged William back, resting his chin on his shoulder, and replied, “I’m not thinking about anything. Why do you always ask?”

William tightened his arms around him and asked, “Are you worried about the cub?”

His dog ears drooped, and he looked genuinely upset.

Lin Su squinted his cat-like eyes and pretended to sound a bit down, “Mmm.”

William’s heart clenched, “What are you worried about? Can you tell me?”

Seeing Lin Su, who rarely showed such low spirits, worried him.

“If you don’t like the idea of having a cub, we don’t have to. We can continue living together, just the two of us, and it’ll be fine.”

Since last night when he found out about Mu Yin having a cub, Lin Su’s unusual behavior this morning made William wonder if Lin Su was concerned about the matter.

He had to admit that his big fox was very sensitive; even though Lin Suu didn’t show much resistance, he still sensed something.

Lin Su’s heart was touched by how much William cared.

He reached out and tapped his chest, “I was a bit worried this morning. I had never thought about this before, and suddenly realizing that it could happen to me made me nervous. But in the garden just now, when I saw how happy and content Brother Mu was because of the cub, I felt a bit envious.”

Lin Su held William’s hand, raised his head, and met his golden beast eyes, “Having a child with someone you love must be a very happy thing, right?”

William silently gazed into Lin Su’s eyes, and his expression overflowed with tender affection and admiration.

Lin Su chuckled softly, then hugged William tighter, “Let’s just let things happen naturally.”

If one day he truly had a cub with William, he shouldn’t resist it too much. After all, it would be their cub, a unique existence.

“Alright,” William held him tight, his voice hoarse, restraining something. His little female always made him feel unusually soft-hearted.

The feeling of wanting to care for him and dote on him would never change.

He genuinely felt that even if he didn’t have any descendants in this lifetime, as long as he could continue to embrace the little female in his arms like this, he would be content. This was the best gift the Beast God had given him, and he felt grateful.

After coming back from outside, Lin Su decided to take a day off and relax. Lately, he had been busy, or at least people said so, but regardless, it was time for him and William to have some alone time together. Packing a box full of delicious treats, Lin Su planned to go to Star Sea Beach with William to unwind. This time, they didn’t invite Xie Bai, just the two of them, having a private beach all to themselves.

They would bask in the sun, take a dip in the sea, and have a date!

Come to think of it, he had never specifically planned a date with William before. Now that he thought about it, it really wasn’t right. He should make up for that.

William looked at the excited look on the little female’s face and playfully hooked his finger, bringing it to his lips and giving it a kiss, “Are you that happy?”

Lin Su leaned in and gave him a kiss on his lips, “Being with you, I’m always happy. I love you, William!”

Facing the sudden confession from the little female, William was moved and leaned in to kiss him. With the lingering taste of strawberries on Lin Su’s lips, the kiss, which started off gentle, became even more ambiguous.

Their date lasted until nightfall, with the stars twinkling above before they finally ended it.

Upon returning home, Su Jin happened to be at home for once. Seeing Lin Su all happy and snuggling in William’s arms, Su Jin didn’t disturb them knowingly.

This morning, the Empire announced the news of the Empress’s pregnancy. It wouldn’t be long before the Empire welcomed the little prince. With the amount of time Lin Su had spent with William, it wouldn’t be surprising if he became a grandfather soon!

Thinking about this, Su Jin couldn’t help but feel happy. When their cub arrived, he would definitely help take good care of him.

Little did Lin Su know that just after they came back, Su Jin was able to deduce so much, and once they really had a cub, this whole family would probably be at a loss as to how to spoil him.

After enjoying a day of private time, Lin Su and William’s feelings for each other deepened even further. Their relationship had been sweet enough before, but now even a casual glance between them carried an affectionate intimacy that could make one blush and heart race.

After nearly half a month of hard work at the gym, Lin Yue finally slimmed down to his original appearance. However, his manager was somewhat worried. It had been almost half a year since Lin Yue’s recovery from his mental disorder, and during this time, there had been no news about him. In the entertainment industry, even one week without any news could significantly decrease one’s popularity, and with new talents constantly emerging, they were waiting to take over positions.

Moreover, Lin Yue could only be considered a moderately popular celebrity.

During this cooling-off period of nearly half a year, with almost no news about him, Lin Yue was finding it difficult to receive good endorsement offers.

Just when his manager was deeply troubled, Lin Yue came out after changing his clothes and said, “Let’s go.”

The manager blinked, asking, “Where to?”

He didn’t recall arranging any schedule for Lin Yue today, and there were no schedules available to arrange at the moment.

Approaching him quietly, Lin Yue’s deep and captivating gaze had a way of making people feel as though they were falling in love with him.

With his pale skin and exquisite and profound facial features, Lin Yue exuded an aura of nobility and untouchability. However, all of this was under the premise that he remained silent. Once he spoke, people would feel that it was better for him to remain a quiet vase.

His personality didn’t quite match the image of a cold and noble beauty.

“Aren’t you worrying about not receiving good commercial endorsements recently? Well then, come with me. I’ll take you to sign a contract.”

After saying this, Lin Yue raised an eyebrow and looked at his manager, displaying a smug expression.

The ripples of surprise that had just emerged in the manager’s heart quickly shattered. He had grown accustomed to this kind of thing from Lin Yue.

He asked, “Has someone reached out to you? What endorsement are you talking about? Let me check it out, and if it’s not good enough, we won’t take it.”

“Ai Su, does it count as a good offer?”

The manager responded, “Is Ai Su the same Ai Su I know?”

Lin Yue nodded, “Who else could it be?”

The manager covered his mouth and took a deep breath, exclaiming, “Lin Su’s Ai Su, ah!”

Lin Yue was amused by his reaction. “Yes, that’s the one. Did you forget? He’s my little brother.”

The manager suddenly remembered the recent news that had been announced. His eyes widened with surprise. “So, you personally requested this?”

Lin Yue snorted. “Impossible! It was my little brother who asked for my help. Originally, I wanted to recommend him some famous people, but my little brother said he only wanted me!”

The manager stared at Lin Yue’s pearly white teeth and felt like all the words he had said before didn’t matter. The key point was in that last sentence!

Understanding the situation, the manager nodded. “Having a little brother is really nice. I want one too.”

Lin Yue arrogantly huffed, “Forget it. Uncle, you’re already so old. Having a little brother who’s much younger than you… Besides, not all little brothers are as considerate as Xiao Su!”

The manager continued nodding. “Third Young Master, you’re absolutely right!”

After saying that, he playfully gave Lin Yue a thumbs-up.

Lin Yue ignored him, feeling extremely happy.

The two of them met up with Lin Su at the dessert shop. Lin Su had already arrived and ordered some food, beckoning them over.

Even though Lin Yue hadn’t appeared in any promotions for half a year, his face was still as attractive as ever, and as soon as he entered the shop, he caught the attention of the customers.

“Look, it’s Lin Yue!”

“It’s really Lin Yue! He’s been out of the spotlight for half a year, why is he suddenly here?”

“I feel like he looks even more handsome!”

“Ah, ah, brother, look here!”

To avoid causing a commotion, Lin Yue and his manager quickly entered the private room where Lin Su was waiting. Once the door was closed, they let out a sigh of relief. After half a year of rest, Lin Yue felt a bit uncomfortable suddenly facing these enthusiastic fans.

Lin Su smiled and said, “Third Brother, your popularity is still going strong!”

Lin Yue modestly cleared his throat, “It’s not too bad. I haven’t become too irrelevant.”

Lin Su handed him a cup of floral tea, saying, “This is the new tea from the shop, try it.”

Since the contract plant of Mu Yin obtained the power of natural elements, Lin Su had purchased some peony tea from him, and all the payment went directly into Mu Yin’s private account.

The rich fragrance of the peony tea was more intense than the light camellia tea, leaving a lingering aftertaste in the mouth.

Lin Su had prepared the contract in advance. Lin Yue would be the exclusive official ambassador for the Ai Su brand, endorsing all the brands under Ai Su.

Not only did Lin Su offer him a generous reward, but he also included a share of the profits.

This contract was so impressive that it would leave anyone who saw it astonished.

After reading through all the clauses, the manager couldn’t help but envy Lin Yue for having such a little brother.

“Don’t just look at the favorable conditions, Third Brother. Once you sign this contract, you won’t have the chance to endorse other brands in the future. You need to think about it. This is a lifelong buyout contract with Ai Su. Your entire commercial value from now on will be dedicated solely to the Ai Su brand.”

Lin Su was serious, and he had thought this through. Ai Su needed an exclusive spokesperson, and that person couldn’t be burdened with too many labels.

He wanted the kind of person who, when seen by others, would be associated with Ai Su immediately. If there were too many labels, it would distract from that association.

This demand was indeed quite strict, but Lin Yue didn’t hesitate to agree, “No problem! You’re my little brother, not to mention giving me money, even if it’s for free, Third Brother will agree!”

The manager looked at Lin Yue and thought, do you know how much money Lin Su is giving you?

Even if you give up all other commercial endorsements in the future, you’ll still be tied to Ai Su for your entire life. You’re definitely making a killing!

Moreover, Ai Su has never sought endorsements before and will only have you as the exclusive ambassador. The brand itself comes with influence and reputation, so it will only get better in the future.

Even without payment, the manager felt compelled to agree. As long as they signed with Ai Su, there would be countless benefits.

After signing the contract, Lin Su immediately had the news published on the official platform of Ai Su.

For future promotions, Lin Su discussed with Lin Yue, and his idea was to establish a company for this purpose and let Lin Yue handle it. After all, there would be a lot of promotional work in the future, and Lin Su wasn’t well-versed in this area. Therefore, his experienced third brother would be the most suitable person to take care of it.

As for other business ventures of the company, Lin Su said they could figure it out as they go along.

When Lin Yue and his manager left the dessert shop, the manager held his briefcase, feeling as if he were in a daze. He had been worried that their artist wouldn’t be able to secure good endorsements, but now, not only did he secure the coveted Ai Su brand that most others couldn’t access, but he also became the head of a talent agency. And all of this was confirmed in just a few hours. It felt like a dream.

Lin Su was indeed not an ordinary person. Looking at Lin Yue’s calm demeanor, the manager couldn’t help but admire him. Coming from the Lin family, he was naturally composed in such situations.

“What are you thinking now, Lin Yue?”

“I’m thinking about stepping back and focusing on managing the company. Just endorsing the Ai Su brand will be enough.”

Lin Yue changed his previous lightheartedness and became serious, “When I agreed to enter the entertainment industry, it was out of curiosity. I’m average in singing and acting, but at least my face is decent. If it weren’t for Lin Su’s request, I would have gradually stepped back myself. Now the timing is right, I’ll step back and you can bring in new talent.”

The manager looked into Lin Yue’s sincere black eyes and knew that he had made up his mind. He sighed softly. He had felt from the first moment he saw Lin Yue that he had the potential to become extremely popular. However, despite entering the entertainment industry, Lin Yue’s heart wasn’t fully in it. Having grown up in the Lin family, he had seen too much and wasn’t dazzled by the facade presented by the entertainment industry. He had always been clear about what he wanted.

In fact, the manager had foreseen this day.

But now the timing was just right. “I’ll talk to the company you signed with. Besides, I’ll go with you. In the future, you’ll be the boss, and I’ll help you make money. Lin Yue, let’s work together to create something.”

Lin Yue smiled, patting his shoulder, “Sure, I won’t let you down.”

The manager chuckled and hugged his briefcase tightly, “Mainly because Lin Su is reliable!”

Lin Yue couldn’t be mad at that and laughed, “Well, just take a look at whose little brother he is!”

Once the news that Lin Yue became the spokesperson for the Ai Su brand was released, it immediately caused a sensation.

Many big stars’ fans expressed their incomprehension, wondering why Lin Yue, who was not as famous as their brother, got this opportunity. But Lin Yue did have his own fans, even if his fame was moderate.

After Lin Yue’s disappearance for nearly half a year, the moment he reappeared with such sensational news, his fans felt completely vindicated.

“What’s the point of us having to remind you? It’s a fact that Lin Yue comes from the Lin family, and Lin Su is his younger brother!” Some fans who had initially expressed dissatisfaction suddenly woke up to this realization.

“…Yeah, it does seem unfair not to give this opportunity to his own brother.”

Realizing this, they didn’t seem as upset anymore. After all, their true idol’s rival also didn’t get the chance, so why should they be angry at Lin Su?
