Pax was very proud of Fang for taking such a swift decision regarding Ren's recent issues with money – and he told him so.
Fang flushed. "I should have realised it on my own. I've been slow and stupid," he murmured.
"If you are slow and stupid, then the rest of the world is mentally retarded and no better than amoeba or paramecium which don't even have brains," Pax said with a huff.
That made Fang laugh.
"Looks like we got you home already," Pax murmured, looking out of the window. "All right, I'll make sure that your instructions are passed down at Sirocco – so we'll take care of Ren there. I trust you will be able to take care of it at SIMS and at home?" Pax asked Fang.
"Things are not as bad at SIMS or at home – because there's very little that Ren can cut down on if he doesn't want to affect the babies or the patients or the research projects – and you know that he will never do that," Fang said. "But now that I know, I am definitely going to keep an eye out for him and anything suspicious that he may be doing."
"Good," Pax said. "You take care of him, all right?"
Fang nodded seriously. "I will," he promised.
The car stopped at the entrance to the house. Pax and Fang got off, and Steward Paul came up to greet them.
The driver was also pulled away to eat with the other staff members – well, they all ate the same stuff from Chef Jules, so no one ever objected to the offer of eating at Ren's place – in fact, most members of the Blue Wolves looked forward to the day when they would get to eat the super delicious food made by Chef Jules!
And, of course, Chef Jules was always more than happy to feed a few extra mouths!
Ren was waiting for Pax and Fang in the living room.
"Sorry," Ren mumbled when he saw Pax and Fang.
Fang chuckled and went to hug Ren. "What's there for you to apologise about, love? You didn't do anything that was wrong," he said softly, kissing Ren on the cheek and giving him a hug as a greeting.
Pax rolled his eyes at their open display of affection, but he was too used to it by now to be surprised – in fact, it was the other way around now – Pax felt that he would be surprised and start wondering what was wrong with the young couple if he *didn't* see them with their open displays of affection these days! It was normal for them to be lovey dovey and serving buckets of dog food to everyone in their vicinity – and if they were not doing that these days, then it would probably mean that Ren and Fang had a fight or that there was something wrong in paradise and everyone else needed to be careful and try and get Ren and Fang to reconcile. Otherwise, not only would this idiotic and loving couple be miserable themselves, they would also make everyone else around them almost as miserable!
Ren and Fang had no idea about what Pax was thinking – because, after all, Pax was a master of keeping a poker face almost all the time. It was only in the presence of his twin brother Wolf, and Ren and Fang, who he considered his close friends and practically family – that Pax would relax his demeanour and act like a normal human being with emotions. Otherwise, to the outside world, CEO Pax was known to be even colder and more impassive than Chairman Ren – especially since Chairman Ren was known to have mellowed down and become a lot more human since he had found his one true love in the young prodigy Fang!
While Ren and Fang were greeting each other, the three furballs – Snow, Smoke and Shadow, were trying to climb up Pax's trousers. Sylvia, who was in her human baby form at the moment, could only watch enviously, but she couldn't change, because there were some servants around.
Pax chuckled at the two puppies and one kitten who were trying to climb up his legs as if they were climbing a tree. Half the fancy trousers of Pax had been ruined by these three furballs and their clawing up his trousers. Of course, no one dared to suggest that their claws be cut – if anything, Ren wanted his little furballs to have even sharper claws than usual, so that they could properly scratch up anyone who tried to pester them!
And Pax agreed. The babies were so cute, what if someone with bad intentions wanted to kidnap them and take them away? They should definitely be able to use their claws like sharp, lethal knives.
In fact, Wolf was already working on figuring out the best way to fight for the four babies. How many times in the recent past had Pax found Wolf watching wildlife documentaries and taking furious notes? While Wolf hadn't found the perfect combat training for the four babies yet, he had been teaching them a few things – and as an date, even without any human around to help them, and without Sylvia using her poison – Smoke and Shadow were able to take down two adult humans with decent fighting capacity, and Sylvia and Snow could take down one adult human each. Wolf continued to work hard to try and find better and better ways to teach the babies how to fight and defend themselves – and to defend Ren and Fang, if it became necessary.
Ren and Fang were truly grateful to Wolf for all the effort that he was putting into this. Wolf, being who he was, would simply wave away their gratitude with a casual hand and say, "But I am the godfather of these little ones – how can I let them be defenceless? Our cute little ones must know how to protect themselves, for sure!"
Besides, Smoke and Shadow were as enthusiastic about Fang at learning combat skills – and Snow and Sylvia, while not exactly as manic as their brothers or their Papa about fighting, were also quite enthusiastic – none of them were like Ren in this regard, much to the Ren's dismay. He had expected at least one of the babies to be like him and be lazy and unwilling to fight. But then, thinking about it again, Ren was actually quite pleased. He would definitely prefer it if his babies were able to fight properly and stand firm in front of any one who wanted to harm them! Nothing was more important than his precious babies remaining safe!
"Your claws have gotten sharper," Pax praised, bending down and scooping up the three furballs in his arms.
"Yes, Uncle Pax!" Shadow said happily, nuzzling his face with a big, wet nose.
Snow purred. "We practise every day, Uncle Pax, just like Uncle Wolf taught us," she said proudly.
"We want to be as good as Papa!" Smoke said seriously.
Pax chuckled and patted all three of them affectionately on their heads. "I am sure you will be better than your Papa, even, when you get to his age," he said. "Your Uncle Wolf is seriously researching and inventing the best fighting techniques for you."
The three furballs preened happily, and Sylvia shot Pax a pitiful look. If she had been in her snake form, she, too, could have cuddled up with Uncle Pax now! Instead, she was stuck in this stupid human baby form which could neither move nor speak properly! Sylvia was very annoyed!
Pax chuckled when he saw Sylvia's face. He adjusted the furballs in his arms so that he could manage them with one arm and hold them against his chest, and then he used his other arm to scoop up Sylvia and hold her against his chest as well.
This way, all four babies were happy and satisfied with their Uncle Pax.
"I have some treats for you in my bag," Pax told the four babies, walking to the couch and sitting down carefully with the four babies sticking to him like glue. "But now it is time for dinner, so I will give them to you later, all right? You can eat them tomorrow."
Shadow, the glutton, opened his mouth to protest, but his other three siblings glared at him and he shut up. He remembered the last time when he had overeaten and then thrown up, and how panicked Ren and Fang had been – and Shadow definitely didn't want that to happen again. So, he could only swallow his drool and wait until tomorrow to taste the treats that Uncle Pax had brought for them…
Seeing Shadow's glum face, Pax rubbed the little pup's head and said softly, "Well, Uncle Pax also got some new toys for his favourite nephews and nieces – do you all want to play while we wait for dinner to be served?"
The four little ones were immediately excited and said unanimously, "Yes, Uncle Pax!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
