The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

Once the news of Ai Su finding a spokesperson was announced, it immediately caught the attention of the public. Some people were surprised that a brand like Ai Su would actually look for a spokesperson, while others were curious about what the spokesperson would be promoting!

When Ai Su Fruit Wine appeared in the public eye, many people mentioned that they had seen it on the official website of Ai Su Ranch, but they didn’t know what it was and didn’t place an order.

However, those who were fortunate enough to have purchased it suddenly felt a sense of anticipation upon seeing the promotion.

Ke Dong, as someone who had once written a letter to Lin Su, had his eyes light up when he saw the promotion. Although Lin Su didn’t reply to him, he just knew that his letter had been seen and his opinions had been used.

The label on the fruit wine bottle had enlarged fonts, and a solemn notice was displayed on the official website. Now, with this advertisement, it was evident that the product was being taken seriously.

After finishing a bottle of fruit wine, Ke Dong’s father eagerly said, “Quick, quick, place an order, buy a few more bottles to stock up at home. Otherwise, it might be hard to get later.”

Seeing his father’s change in attitude from before, Ke Dong smiled and said, “I’ve already stocked up on them. I’m afraid that once everyone knows how precious this is, it will be hard to get our hands on it.”

Ke Jia nodded happily, and for the first time, he didn’t scold him for spending money recklessly.

After the promotion of Ai Su Fruit Wine, the number of orders skyrocketed. Fortunately, the inventory was still sufficient. Lin Su had handed over the brewing method to the Empire, and Will received it and stated that the Empire would send people to brew the wine, while Ai Su Ranch would handle the sales. The profits would be split evenly between the Empire and Ai Su.

In this way, Ai Su Ranch could also be considered a state-owned enterprise.

Recently, Mu Yin’s preferences have been quite evident, as he developed a liking for sour foods. The grapes from Ai Su Fruit Orchard became a regular fruit in the palace, as the mountain grapes used for making wine perfectly satisfied Mu Yin’s cravings.

Meanwhile, the first batch of students at the Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy had reached graduation level. After a series of assessments, five students successfully mastered their culinary skills during the one-and-a-half-month program and were eligible to graduate from the academy.

Regarding these five students, Su Jin discussed with Lin Su and decided to inquire if they were willing to stay at the academy.

When the five students were called to the office, they were somewhat surprised. Su Jin poured them water and said, “First of all, congratulations on your successful graduation. Secondly, I would like to ask, what are your plans for the future?”

One student replied, “I originally came here to learn culinary skills, but I haven’t thought about what to do after completing my studies.”

Another said, “I want to open my own restaurant, something like the Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant.”

The third student said, “I came here to learn culinary skills so I can cook delicious food for my family.”

One of the students then asked, “Teacher Su Jin, is there something you want to tell us?”

Su Jin smiled and nodded, “Indeed, the academy offers three options for you. Firstly, as you’ve noticed, we are currently facing a shortage of teachers. So, I want to ask if any of you are willing to stay and teach. The academy will offer you a salary. Secondly, the palace is recruiting one chef and one pastry chef. And finally, Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant is offering franchise opportunities. I want to know if any of you have an interest in any of these three options.”

All five students widened their eyes, not expecting such opportunities to be waiting for them after graduation.

One student eagerly said, “Teacher Su, is the palace really hiring? I’m a pastry chef, and Teacher Xie Bai said I have great talent in this area. Do you think I can apply?”

Another student said, “I’m willing to go to the palace to see what it’s like. I’m a chef.”

A third student expressed, “I want to join Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant. Opening a restaurant has always been my dream.”

The fourth student said, “I’m willing to stay and teach. I want to become someone like you, Teacher Su Jin.”

Su Jin didn’t expect them to make their choices so quickly, “Do you not need to go back and discuss with your families?”

They all replied, “No, we can make our decisions on our own.”

Su Jin smiled, “Alright then. Tomorrow morning, you can come here, and the palace will send someone to escort you there. The rest of you, we will sign the employment and franchise contracts tomorrow.”

Things were progressing very smoothly, and when Lin Su arrived, Su Jin had already handled everything. Seeing him, Su Jin couldn’t help but smile, “It’s done, they are all willing.”

The Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy now had two more instructors and could accept another batch of students. At the same time, news of the five graduates’ choices spread and immediately attracted the attention of the new students.

Motivated by their seniors, the new students worked even harder, hoping to graduate sooner to either stay at the academy or join Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant and run their own businesses.

As a result, the competition for admission to the Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy became even more intense.

Mu Yin benefited from the chefs’ presence as he enjoyed delicious meals every day. His cheeks became rounder, and his complexion improved significantly.

Will also shared in the good fortune and gained some “happiness weight” recently.

With the palace now having chefs and pastry chefs, some noble families started showing interest.

The Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy received numerous recruitment invitations from these families.

Su Jin posted these job offers on the academy’s official website, making them visible to everyone. Those interested could contact in advance and strive for the opportunity.

Meanwhile, the Empire had begun distributing purified seeds to various star regions, and each major star region had established dedicated breeding bases on their planets to welcome these valuable purified seeds.

As this news was announced, it sparked nationwide discussions.

Many citizens in different star regions were eagerly waiting for this day with shining eyes.

[“Finally, it’s our turn!”]

[“The Empire hasn’t forgotten about us. Soon, we’ll also be able to enjoy the delicious purified fruits and vegetables, and heal our spirits!”]

[“Thanks to the great Empire and the miracle creator, Lin Su!”]

A festive atmosphere spread throughout the star regions.

Will looked at the noticeable increase in his popularity in recent public opinion surveys and couldn’t help but shed tears as he held Mu Yin close during the night.

As the ruler of a country, when his father offered him the throne, he was initially resistant. He wasn’t as brave as William, but as the eldest son, he had no choice but to accept everything.

He privately felt that William was much more suitable than him, but both William and his father said he was the right choice. There was nothing he could do but brace himself for the role.

Over the years, he worked hard and the public had a high regard for him, but his reputation had never reached such heights. It made him feel that his efforts were in vain.

Moved to tears for half the night, the next morning, he cautiously asked Mu Yin, “Ah Yin, are my eyes swollen? My eyelids feel heavy.”

He had a meeting later, and if Lin En saw him like this, he would probably sigh again.

Mu Yin reached out and touched his head, taking a look, “It’s okay, just a bit red. Wait for me to get some ice and apply it, and you’ll be fine.”

“Thank you, Ah Yin.” Mu Yin is really kind!

Mu Yin came back with an ice pack and placed it on his eyes, “Do you want to take a few days off recently and relax?”

Over the years, even though Will sometimes couldn’t control himself and hid away to shed some tears, expressing his unwillingness to be king, he had never slackened.

He had never taken a break.

Sometimes, Mu Yin felt really sorry for him. He was clearly doing something he didn’t want to do, yet he persisted because of his sense of responsibility.

This Will, who thought about retirement every day but still diligently showed up for work, somehow seemed adorable.

“Take a break?” Will’s eyes lit up at the thought of the possibility of having a break, “Can I take a break?”

Mu Yin couldn’t help but smile, “If being a king is considered a profession, then I believe you should have vacation days too.”

Will’s eyes widened at the idea, “Can I really take a break? Can I have two days off?”

“According to the statutory holidays, you can have two days off, and it’s almost the weekend. Why not start now?”

“Will they think I’m not dedicated enough if I take a break?”

“If it’s for important work, you can work overtime, but if it’s not that urgent, you can certainly take a normal break, right?”

“You’re right! I’ll bring this up at the meeting today. Lin En and the others all have vacation days, but it turns out I don’t!”

Having just realized this, Will felt particularly indignant.

He had actually been working without taking any breaks for so many years!

So, when Will was in the meeting and repeated the words that Mu Yin had said in his own manner, requesting to have two days off every week, the elders sitting in the conference room fell silent for a moment.

Just as Will didn’t seem as composed and was about to say something else, Lin En suddenly spoke up, “I think it’s feasible. If it’s something urgent, Your Majesty can prioritize work, but in normal circumstances, you should enjoy regular vacation time. I believe this can be implemented. What does everyone think?”

Hearing Lin En’s words, Will nodded repeatedly, that was exactly what he meant.

Several people looked at Lin En, then at Will, and nodded, “We agree too.”

And thus, Will finally succeeded in securing his vacation time.

With this arrangement, Will’s enthusiasm for work increased significantly!

When Lin Su heard about this matter from William, he couldn’t help but laugh for a while. “Big Brother is really adorable. How about this, let’s invite Big Brother, Brother Mu Yin, my Big Brother, and Third Brother, and even Xiao Bai and Su Ge to our place for a meal on the weekend. Oh, and not to forget Male Father Lin En. Unfortunately, Second Brother and Female Father Qin Yi are on Nos Star.”

William listened to Lin Su listing the invitees and nodded, “If you want, we can send a spacecraft to pick them up.”

“Forget it, it would be too tiring for Second Brother and Female Father to come here. Let’s wait until they finish their work and come back, we can have a gathering now, and then send them video messages later.” After saying this, Lin Su opened the communication device and added everyone to the group, naming it “Happy Family,” which could be the unified name for every family in the entire universe.

Lin Yue: “What’s going on? Xiao Su, did you create a group for something?”

Mu Yin: “Looking forward to it.”

Will: “I’m using this group to chat while working.”

Lin En: “Your Majesty, the afternoon meeting is ready, and we can start whenever you’re ready.”

Will: “…… Alright.”

Lin Su chuckled as he watched Will being caught in the group chat. He really wanted to give Emperor Will a new name, like “Forced Worker,” haha!

Lin Su: “Everyone, wait a moment. I have something to say. This weekend, at the Prince’s Mansion, I invite all of you for a dinner gathering. Requirement: Everyone in this group who is in the Capital Star must attend. Please tap 1^_^ when received.”

Lin Yue: “1”

Mu Yin: “1”

Will: “1111111111111111……”

Lin En: “……1”

…

Though Will’s abrupt string of “1”s was explained as an accident, they already sensed his determination to attend the banquet and decided not to expose him.

Early in the morning on the weekend, various ingredients were transported from the ranch. Kane and Su Jin also took a rare break today.

Xie Bai and Su Ge arrived early.

As soon as Xie Bai came in, he took off his coat and went into the kitchen to help. Su Ge had gone to the ranch in the morning and brought back a bucket of fruit wine. He was now aerating the wine in the courtyard by pouring it into a jug, so it would have a better taste when they drank it during the meal.

Lin Su and Su Jin set up a barbecue stall in the courtyard and washed the ingredients before putting them on skewers.

William and Kane moved chairs and placed them under the trees.

The courtyard of the Prince’s Mansion had been transformed by Lin Su, and now it had a grapevine-covered summer pavilion, as well as a pond with well-fed, chubby koi fish. They even hung a swing on the tree.

A group of people enjoyed eating and drinking in this delightful little garden.

When Lin En and Lin Te arrived, Lin Yue had already beaten them to it.

Recently, Lin Yue had been busy managing the company, and he appeared more mature and stable than before. He greeted Lin Te and Lin En with a smile and went inside to help Lin Su.

After Lin Su invited Lin Te and Lin En to sit down, he prepared a fruit platter for them.

It had been a while since Lin En had seen Lin Su, and he missed him. He followed behind Lin Su, holding a plate of cut fruits, and asked, “How have you been, Xiao Su?”

“I’ve been good, Male Father. I heard you’ve been busy lately. Take care of yourself. If you have time, come over here for dinner in the evenings when Female Father is not at home.”

Lin En gratefully listened to Lin Su’s concern and replied, “Don’t worry, I can take care of myself. If I need anything, I’ll come over.”

Lin Te chimed in, “Younger Brother, I was thinking of hiring a chef at home recently so that we can have hot meals when we come back in the evenings. When will your academy have any graduates? Please keep an eye out for me.”

“Sure, there should be another batch at the end of this month. I’ll ask them if they’re willing.”

“Then I’ll wait,” Lin Te nodded when he heard Lin Su’s words.

“I’m also thinking about hiring a private chef.”

“Just stop talking and work hard,” Lin Te scolded Lin Yue, but Lin Yue just grinned mischievously. “Big Brother, are you envious of me now? My little brother and I are partners in a company, and our relationship is the best!”

Lin En shook his head, looking at Lin Yue as if he were looking at a fool. This silly guy was just asking to be beaten up.

Will and Mu Yin were the last to arrive. As they got out of the car, Will couldn’t help saying, “We should have come earlier. Listen to how lively it is inside.”

Mu Yin thought about how Will had been asking about the time since he woke up in the morning, eagerly looking forward to this gathering from the moment they received the invitation.

As they approached, everyone smiled and greeted them. Will spoke, “Today, please don’t treat me differently because of my status. Treat me as an ordinary person, and I will be more at ease.”

While saying this, Will’s gaze focused mainly on Lin En, afraid that Lin En would say something like, “That’s against the rules.”

Fortunately, Lin En smiled and nodded. “Since Your Majesty is on holiday, we won’t talk about rules today.”

Will’s smile instantly became even brighter.

Mu Yin noticed that Lin Su and Su Jin were barbecuing, and he thought about going over there, but Lin Su stopped him, saying, “There’s smoke here. It’s not suitable for you to get close now.”

Hearing this, Mu Yin didn’t insist and asked, “Is there anything I can help with?”

“Yes, this is the strawberry parfait I just made. Please taste it,” Xie Bai came over from the kitchen with a plate of ice cream and smiled. “It’s a bit cold, be careful.”

Mu Yin took a strawberry parfait and his eyes sparkled. “Is this the ice cream that’s been popular at the Ai Su Dessert Shop recently?”

“Yes, this is one of them. I also made ice cream balls, paired with waffle cones and some other small things; they are especially delicious. I’m still making more in the back. You can taste them later.”

“Could you teach me how to make it? I want to learn.”

“Sure, come with me later, and I’ll teach you.”

After reaching an agreement with Xie Bai, Mu Yin happily went with him to the kitchen to learn how to make ice cream.

Meanwhile, everyone else enjoyed their parfaits, having a great time.

Lin Yue touched his belly and said, “What should I do? I feel like one belly is not enough to eat. If I could grow a few more, I would.”

Lin Te held a peach-flavored parfait in his hand and said, “Eat a little less. Will you have room for other things later?”

Lin Yue looked at the three empty parfait boxes in front of his brother and said, “You finish yours first.”

Afterward, he reached for some cookies from the box; clearly, it was impossible for him not to eat.

The smell of the barbecue gradually wafted out, making everyone sitting in the small courtyard salivate.

Su Ge brought over a jar of fruit wine and set the grilled skewers on the table. With a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of barbecue, it was absolutely delicious.

William sat in a corner of the sofa, drinking wine and eating meat, thoroughly enjoying himself.

He felt that if life could continue like this forever, it would be perfect.

Lin En also ate heartily, especially enjoying the taste of the fruit wine, while chatting with Kane about the interesting things that happened to Lin Su in recent years. He felt like there were countless stories to share.

William walked over and saw the black dog ears that had accidentally appeared on top of Will’s head. It amused him; whenever Will’s emotions fluctuated greatly, he would involuntarily reveal his contract beast form, a habit that hadn’t changed since he was little.

Seeing Will’s cheeks turning red and the empty wine glass on the table, William gently patted his shoulder and said, “If you feel dizzy, go inside and lie down for a while.”

Looking up at William, a smile appeared on Will’s face, “No, I’m especially happy right now. The wine is delicious, the meat is delicious, I’m so happy. Especially now that you’re doing well, I can’t help but be happy. This way, I can also fulfill my duty to Male Father and Female Father. At least when I return to the Beast God, I won’t be chased and attacked.”

As he spoke, tears welled up in Will’s eyes, but he kept laughing from time to time.

While Lin Yue was gnawing on a bone and witnessing this, he whispered to Lin Te beside him, “Big Brother, do you think His Majesty is under too much work pressure?”

“Shut up, don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked, eat your food,” Lin Te seemed not to notice, continuing to eat his meat, occasionally taking a sip of wine. He was thinking about whether he could bring back a jar of wine later.

Lin En and Kane on the other side were also chatting happily, occasionally toasting each other. Somehow, the conversation shifted to the marriage of the three male cubs in their family.

Especially for Lin Te, Lin En felt that he should settle down and start a family, but he just couldn’t find a suitable partner. He could see that Lin Te was running out of postponements for his marriage application; if he couldn’t find a suitable match, they might have to arrange a forced matchmaking.

Kane patted his shoulder and said, “A forced matchmaking isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Look at Lin Su and William, they met through forced matchmaking, and now everything is great!”

Lin En couldn’t help feeling a bit sour in his heart, but he agreed with Kane’s words and nodded, “Perhaps he’ll find someone good too!”

Kane smiled and said, “If you’re not sure, you can come to our ranch and take a look. Those noble females are doing great now – hardworking and well-behaved. They’re all good females.”

Lin En was indeed tempted by Kane’s words.

However, he didn’t think about finding a match for Lin Te at the Ai Su Ranch. He looked at Lin Su and thought that maybe he could ask the little guy for some help.

When Lin En approached Lin Su and asked if he knew any suitable females for his three brothers, Lin Su was a little confused. Did Lin En see him as a matchmaker because of his appearance?

But after hearing Lin En’s explanation, Lin Su couldn’t help but laugh and cry, and he didn’t refuse, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye out for my three brothers.”

With Lin Su’s assurance, Lin En felt completely at ease. Lin Su was reliable, and he believed in him.

In fact, Lin Su didn’t have much confidence in himself to handle this task. Nevertheless, he decided to give it a try.

This gathering ended harmoniously, and when Lin Su and William were seeing them off, Lin Su pulled Lin Te aside, “Big brother, I heard that you’re running out of time for the delayed marriage application. So, do you have any thoughts? Are you considering accepting the forced matching or…”

“Male Father talked to you?” Lin En had indirectly tried to ask Lin Te a few times recently, but he didn’t expect Lin En to approach Lin Su instead and put the matter in his hands. “If you have a suitable candidate, you can introduce him to me.”

Surprisingly, Lin Te didn’t resist at all. He was straightforward, and Lin Su thought he would refuse. Now he had to take on the responsibility of finding a lifelong partner for his big brother, but since Lin Te was so direct, he asked, “What kind of person do you like? I can keep an eye out for you.”

“Whatever you think is good.” Lin Te patted Lin Su’s shoulder with a smile, as if to say, “You decide, and I’ll see how it goes.” Lin Su felt that the difficulty level was higher than he expected.

After seeing Lin Te off, Lin Su approached William, “William, look at me, just look at me!”

William looked at him skeptically, “What’s wrong? There’s nothing on your face. Are you feeling unwell?”

Lin Su wrapped his arms around William’s waist and said, “Do I look like a matchmaker to you? Male Father asked me to help introduce potential partners for big brother.”

William chuckled and shook his head in response, “Of course, I know you can refuse, and they won’t force you.”

“I know I can refuse, but they trust me, that’s why they asked me to do this. And can you believe it? Even big brother didn’t object!”

Seeing Lin Su’s incredulous expression, William found it adorable and leaned over to kiss his forehead, saying, “If it were me, I would agree too, because in their hearts, little brother’s judgment is the best.”

Lin Su pouted, “You’re just wishful thinking. I won’t introduce anyone to you. You’re mine, and you’ve admitted it yourself!”

William laughed, “Yes, I’ve admitted it. I was just giving an example.”

Lin Su playfully protested, “Even giving an example is not allowed!”
