Chapter 107: We're Doomed

Shen Mingjiao was a little unhappy at first, but when Qi Shaoyou hugged her, her mood improved a lot. The corners of her mouth gradually turned up on her sweet face.

However, while she was happy, Shen Mingjiao still didn't know why Qi Shaoyou was angry.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Mingjiao felt increasingly threatened. Even though Qi Shaoyou was clearly in the wrong, why did she feel so threatened?

Feeling something was off about the logic here, Shen Mingjiao stole a glance at Qi Shaoyou and noticed that his face was still dark as he cleared the dishes.

She wanted to ask, but if she did... she would really be punished...

In her past life, her punishments included practicing calligraphy, arithmetic, and archery. She had a feeling that Qi Shaoyou would punish her in similar ways in this world.

Shen Mingjiao sat on the sofa, turning her head to look at Qi Shaoyou. Her gaze seemed glued to him; in truth, she had many questions she wanted to ask.

But when the words were about to come out, she didn't want to ask anymore.

"Ding-dong." Shen Mingjiao got up to open the door; the things she bought had arrived.

Qi Shaoyou tidied up his things, washed his hands, and then sat back down on the sofa.

Shen Mingjiao has lost weight; that's an obvious fact. Qi Shaoyou can even understand why Shen Mingjiao has lost weight.

It wasn't that she truly had no appetite; she was punishing herself. It was the same in her past life; the thought of her inflicting this physical pain on herself after she was gone, hiding from everyone, was enough to trigger her suffering…

Qi Shaoyou found it hard to feel good because Shen Mingjiao now had the same defense mechanism as her in her previous life.

Shen Mingjiao was once seen as a princess, pampered and loved in every way.

Only Qi Shaoyou knew that Shen Mingjiao, being such a perceptive person, had naturally noticed many things were amiss with her father and brother.

However, she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. Everyone envied her as a princess, so she shouldn't have voiced her doubts.

Countless nights, Qi Shaoyou had seen Shen Mingjiao's bewildered and helpless tears. Clutching her clothes, her eyes brimming with tears, she asked herself, "Why?"

"Why do my father and elder brother love me but forbid me from studying?"

"Everyone says they love me, Shaoyou, do you know why?"

The pain on Shen Mingjiao's face at that moment made Qi Shaoyou want to skin those two beasts alive.

She had vowed not to let Shen Mingjiao continue to suffer like this, so she took Shen Mingjiao to the demon realm.

There were people there who truly loved her, but she still suffered because of herself…

Qi Shaoyou's expression was not good. Shen Mingjiao saw Qi Shaoyou's unpleasant expression when she returned with the things.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Shen Mingjiao took the things in her hand and stuffed them into Qi Shaoyou's hand.

"This is a gift for you." Shen Mingjiao quickly shoved the gift into Qi Shaoyou's hands, then carefully observed his expression.

Shen Mingjiao doesn't care much about people who aren't important to her, but if it's someone she cares about, even in the smallest way, she doesn't want to upset them.

Qi Shaoyou looked at the phone handed to him, then at Shen Mingjiao, who looked anxious.

"Is it okay to use couple's phones?" Shen Mingjiao already regarded Qi Shaoyou as her second teacher.

In that world, she wasn't allowed to read too many books. She could be arrogant and domineering, but Princess Shen Mingjiao wasn't allowed to show compassion for the common people.

At that time, it was Qi Shaoyou who taught her to read and understand people, little by little. Shen Mingjiao often liked Qi Shaoyou, but she was also somewhat afraid of him.

It hurt so much when she hit someone's palm! Shen Mingjiao thought of her previous teachings and couldn't help but secretly complain about Qi Shaoyou.

Qi Shaoyou no longer suppressed herself and directly pulled the person into her arms.

When Shen Mingjiao was picked up, she couldn't help but gasp.

"Jiaojiao, please don't make things difficult for yourself, okay?"

Qi Shaoyou's eyes were full of tenderness as she held Shen Mingjiao as if she were holding her own little sun.

Shen Mingjiao heard her lover hiding in her arms, begging her...

Her heart felt like it had been squeezed tightly, and the bittersweet feeling left her somewhat at a loss.

"I'd rather you bite me a few more times; I really went too far. But I just can't accept you secretly abusing yourself."

Qi Shaoyou's voice was unusually low, and her depressed mood was obvious.

"Then you can't be mean to me in the future..." Shen Mingjiao took the opportunity to make a request to Qi Shaoyou.

"Have I ever been mean to you?" Qi Shaoyou asked, before the little princess covered his mouth.

"Don't speak! You can speak only after I've stated my request!"

Look at how domineering he is! Qi Shaoyou kissed the little princess's soft palm. Shen Mingjiao blushed and bumped her head against Qi Shaoyou's.

"From now on, you have to play with me, pamper me, and absolutely never lie to me again! If you lie to me again, I'll make you kneel on the keyboard as punishment!"

At this point, Shen Mingjiao became fierce, attempting to threaten the person whose mouth she had covered.

"What happened before doesn't count. From now on, you have to keep all the promises you make to me! If you say sweet words, they have to be sincere! You can't scold me or lie to me!"

Shen Mingjiao became happier and happier as she talked, and Qi Shaoyou felt as if his own mood had been invigorated by seeing her happiness.

As the little princess danced and imagined, she loosened her grip on Qi Shaoyou's hand.

"I think I did that before," Qi Shaoyou tried to plead her case, but unfortunately she encountered a very unreasonable judge.

"No, I said no, so I don't mean it." Shen Mingjiao pursed her lips, tilted her head, and pretended not to hear.

"Oh? I really don't have any?" Qi Shaoyou took out handcuffs from his pocket.

This time, it wasn't Shen Mingjiao handcuffing her, but rather she handcuffing Shen Mingjiao.

"Why do this?" Shen Mingjiao shook the handcuffs, looking at Qi Shaoyou with some doubt in her eyes.

"I'm afraid you'll run away." Qi Shaoyou blinked gently, but his tone wasn't as friendly as her expression.

"Just kidding, why would I run? I won't run..." Shen Mingjiao held her head high, her pride making her seem like a completely different person from before.

"Well said, where is the bath towel?" Qi Shaoyou nodded obediently. Shen Mingjiao blushed and began to stutter.

"You...what do you want this for! How dare you! Qi Shaoyou, you're being disrespectful! Say it again!"

Shen Mingjiao's voice trembled as she tried to get up and run. Unfortunately, her movements were restricted by the handcuffs; she had only herself to blame.

Qi Shaoyou reached out and scooped the person up, and the little rabbit that had run away was back in her arms once again.

"Where to?" Qi Shaoyou whispered in Shen Mingjiao's ear. Shen Mingjiao's pupils widened slightly, seemingly surprised that Qi Shaoyou would say such a thing.

"No, I can't..."

"No..." Shen Mingjiao felt every inch of her skin burning.

"My glands are still healing, it will take at least three more days to be fully marked."

"You big bad guy, you have to wait a little longer." Shen Mingjiao pouted, and seeing Qi Shaoyou's surprised look, she added another bite mark to Qi Shaoyou's neck.

"I'm not in a hurry. What does it matter if I want my wife to bathe with me and mark me?"

Qi Shaoyou blinked, looking completely innocent. She seemed very naive, but Shen Mingjiao didn't believe it.

She wasn't immune to being fooled by Qi Shaoyou's excuse before...

"My dear wife, would you like to practice calligraphy with me? Or read books with me? Or admire the flowers with me?"

This woman has plenty of excuses!

Shen Mingjiao blushed and kissed Qi Shaoyou. According to their old habit, if Shen Mingjiao didn't want to do something, she had to kiss Qi Shaoyou until he was satisfied.

Qi Shaoyou shook his head; clearly, it wasn't enough.

"You jerk, you big bad guy..."

While cursing her, Shen Mingjiao stamped Qi Shaoyou's face with her own.

After kissing for a while, Qi Shaoyou finally patted Shen Mingjiao with satisfaction.

Shen Mingjiao felt the spot where she had been patted, and turned around to bite Qi Shaoyou again.

"Come back with me later to see Mommy and Mom!"

Upon hearing Shen Mingjiao's words, Qi Shaoyou's movements began to stiffen.

"Are we going today?" Qi Shaoyou rarely showed a guilty expression; she always felt that her two mothers didn't have a good impression of her.

"You're worried?" Shen Mingjiao revealed a gloating expression, clearly very pleased with Qi Shaoyou's concern.

"Don't worry, Mom and Mommy's memories have been altered. They probably don't have much of a problem with you, but..."

Hearing this, Qi Shaoyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You asked to marry me on your very first visit, so you'd better make a good impression."

Shen Mingjiao's mood improved, but Qi Shaoyou felt like his world had collapsed.

"Isn't this a bit much for a first visit?" Qi Shaoyou sensed something was wrong and tried to make sure he didn't suffer a terrible death that afternoon.

"It's okay, I'll tell my mom and my mother that I won't marry anyone but you anyway."

Upon hearing this, only one thought remained in Qi Shaoyou's mind: She seemed to be doomed...

Put yourself in her shoes: what if she raised her daughter all these years, and one day she brought home an alpha saying she wouldn't marry anyone but her...?

Qi Shaoyou immediately removed the handcuffs from the two men and then disassembled the cell phones.

Just as Shen Mingjiao was about to say that the light purple phone she bought was indeed very beautiful, her phone rang.

"Mommy! Good morning!" Shen Mingjiao was in a great mood, and her tone became sunny.

"Bought two phones? Oh, I want my girlfriend and I to use them together!"

Shen Mingjiao's tone was innocent and cheerful, while Qi Shaoyou, listening from behind, was sweating profusely. He really should congratulate himself; he was now in a real bind.

I heard this before I even saw the person...

Qi Shaoyou immediately inserted the SIM card and then quickly asked Chenping if he could help.

After Shen Mingjiao hung up the phone, she turned around and saw Qi Shaoyou looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Don't worry, my mom and mommy are very nice people! They'll definitely like you!"

Qi Shaoyou looked at the very confident Shen Mingjiao, but something felt off.

"They also said they really wanted to see what kind of person I like!"

"You're so nice, they'll definitely like you!"

Countless possible outcomes flashed through Qi Shaoyou's mind, none of them good.

Her daughter suddenly fell in love with someone, insisted on marrying him, and even wanted to take a month off from school.

From any mother's perspective, Qi Shaoyou could never be a good person...

"This is it," Qi Shaoyou thought, closing his eyes as his mind raced.
