40. You always deserve to be loved.

Upon hearing this, Ke Qi blinked, her heart, which had plummeted to the bottom, silently picking itself up again.

"hold head high?"

Seriously? Is he serious?

Ke Qi had considered many possible reactions from Gu Zhao after discovering her true form.

for example:

1. Gu Qi was so frightened that he fainted.

Second: He immediately turned hostile and said to her, "You vixen, how dare you bewitch me! Believe me, I can summon 200 Taoist priests to subdue you within a minute!"

Third: Knock her unconscious, pack her up, and throw her into the biological research company under Shengyao Group to be a guinea pig.

But this is something she would never dare to imagine.

He actually said she was cute?

So, after being fooled by her last time, saying she was cute actually meant I subconsciously accepted her as she is?

Keqi's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer, wagging her tail happily at him.

"Gu Zhao, aren't you afraid of me? I'm not human, don't you think that's incredible?"

"Also, how did you know I looked like a succubus?"

"Yes, I'm not afraid."

Gu Zhao put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, "There's nothing unbelievable about it. The world is so big that anything is possible."

"Humans are not necessarily the only highly intelligent beings on this world, just as they cannot guarantee that there are no aliens on this world."

"As for why I was able to recognize you as a succubus..."

He casually pinched the tip of her bouncy, dark blue tail and chuckled, "Because my older brother's first love was a succubus. He brought her home to meet the elders, and they were practically getting married."

Ke Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, I see!"

"So, your family can accept succubi?"

"Um."

So~

He leaned closer, his high, straight nose touching hers. "Now you can rest assured and come home with me to meet my elders, right?"

Ke Qi stared intently into his deep, beautiful eyes, and in that instant, the heavy worry weighing on her heart vanished.

At the same time, joy rippled outwards like waves, and her eyes involuntarily curved into bright crescent moons, as if bathed in starlight. "Okay!"

Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll arrange a specific time to meet next week?"

Ke Qi responded without hesitation, "Mmm!"

"only……"

She asked worriedly, "Should I prepare something in advance? Are your family members easy to get along with?"

"What if they don't like me after they meet me?"

She thought of something, lowered her eyes, and said in a very unconfident tone, "After all, my family has never really liked or loved me since I was a child."

"You don't need to prepare anything, you just need to go."

"Ke Qiqi".

He raised his hand and cupped half of her cheek, making her look directly into his eyes, and said to her in a very serious tone, "Don't always assume and deny yourself before you've even tried something."

"You are kind, beautiful, sincere, bright and enthusiastic, and multi-talented. You have many admirable qualities."

"Your family members may not like or love you, perhaps because they are prejudiced against you, or perhaps they are blind and foolish."

So please remember this!

His dark, deep pupils reflected her fair face. "There will be people in this world who don't love you, but just like that, there will be people who love you!"

"Ke Qiqi, you will always deserve to be loved!"

As she stared in disbelief, he smiled, his lips curving upwards as if radiating the intense heat of summer, and kissed her lips.

My heart felt as if it were enveloped in warmth, causing my blood to flow more freely. The frequency of my heartbeats, though separated by my chest, was deafening.

Ke Qi endured the kiss, but instead of closing her eyes as usual, she lingered, greedily tracing the youth's enlarged, profound features with her gaze.

Many people say he is an arrogant and domineering demon king, but he is born with a pair of gentle and compassionate eyes.

Many people say he is eccentric and rebellious, doing whatever he wants and disregarding human relationships, but deep down he is more considerate and thoughtful than most people who seem gentle and refined.

My memories irresistibly returned to a few hours earlier.

She cried to him, telling him what he said when she couldn't hold onto what her mother left behind, and that her father didn't care about her and didn't want her, even giving away the little house she had lived in since childhood and her belongings.

He said: "I want you!"

【Ke Qiqi, take all your cherished possessions and leave that place. We can start a new family.】

Looking back now, how is that any different from a marriage proposal?

"Gu Zhao~"

She gently pushed him away, then with a forceful push, pressed him down beneath her.

Her lips, swollen and red from the kisses, breathed hot air onto his face. Then, under his questioning gaze, she passionately kissed his earlobe and his prominent Adam's apple.

"The night we first kissed, didn't you say that you wouldn't force me to do 'that' before I truly fell in love with you?"

Gu Zhao looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue.

Ke Qi chuckled softly, straightened up, and in front of him, placed her hand on the hem of her nightgown, slowly pulling it up until it was completely removed.

Under the lush lamplight, all the graceful radiance was reflected with exceptional clarity.

"Now~"

Her voice trailed off softly, and her long, slender, dark blue tail deftly hooked the hem of his white sports t-shirt, lifting it up little by little.

In a moment, his muscular chest was exposed, and she slowly bent down, her long, flowing hair falling down as if it had a life of its own, meandering over his body little by little.

A sweet smile bloomed on her rosy cheeks as she looked at him. "You can do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about forcing me anymore."

The meaning is already quite clear.

Gu Zhao smiled and chuckled softly. He raised his large hand and placed it on her slender waist, pinching her soft, white flesh hard.

"good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the world spun around him.

The beautiful, translucent pink horns emitted a temperature several times hotter than usual tonight.

Her body was caressed repeatedly by the young man's slightly rough hands, and kissed again and again by his burning lips.

The hotel's special extra-large amenities were being sold out quickly, as if they were free.

For a long time, Ke Qi was held by him, sweating profusely, looking at him with teary eyes. Finally, she couldn't help but ask in disbelief, "Gu Zhao, what did you eat to grow up like this?"

He curled his lips into a smirk, revealing his small, roguish canine teeth. "Let's eat."

She said, "Then you must be a good-for-nothing!"

Gu Zhao narrowed his eyes: "Hmm?"

The overlapping shadows under the lush lamplight suddenly became disordered.

"Stop, I was wrong, Brother Gu Zhao!"

But this time, pleading and whining were no longer effective.

After a long while, Keqi, her face flushed and crying miserably, finally managed to complain, "You have no respect for me at all!"

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow: "Where?"

She pouted, "I've already cried, and you're still going!"

Gu Zhao laughed, a low, magnetic laugh that was both sexy and alluring. He whispered in her ear, "Baby, I know better than you whether you're crying out of disgust or out of pleasure."
