Chapter 18: Mark Me for Life

[It's also possible that she got kissed on the cheek by Miss Shen, and then went to see her mother with her daughter's lipstick mark on her face.]

Qi Shaoyou never expected that 0527's jinx would be so accurate.

The appointment time was indeed as scheduled, with Shen Mingjiao going first.

When she arrived at Song Garden, Shen Mingjiao was already waiting in the private room.

Shen Mingjiao wore a Chanel-style suit today; the short jacket and high-waisted skirt fit her perfectly. The tweed fabric, paired with gold buttons and a pearl hair clip, made her look charming and captivating.

【The young lady looks beautiful today too!】0527 exclaimed first.

Qi Shaoyou ignored 0527's infatuation; she was dressed for comfort today: black cargo pants, a white tank top, and a brown leather jacket.

If I had to point out something, the most striking feature was the red silk scarf decoration around Qi Shaoyou's waist.

That was something I insisted on tying on Chenping before she went out.

Chenping said, "Your outfits need to be flashy to match your persona!"

I hope it really works...

Qi Shaoyou took a deep breath.

"You're here." Shen Mingjiao's eyes sparkled as she looked at Qi Shaoyou as if he were the most precious treasure in the world.

An innocent and adorable gaze can make one imagine harmless little animals.

Qi Shaoyou smiled and sat down next to Shen Mingjiao without saying a word.

The private room had a two-seater sofa, and the moment Qi Shaoyou sat down, the distance between the two of them instantly closed.

She didn't speak, only slightly curving her lips. Qi Shaoyou's gaze lingered on Shen Mingjiao's face, as if he were carefully scanning every inch of her skin.

She must think she looks great today, otherwise she wouldn't be looking at herself so closely.

Yes, that's what Shen Mingjiao thinks.

In reality, Qi Shaoyou is frantically confirming with 0527.

[Was my gaze lewd enough? Was it audacious enough? Was it vulgar enough?]

0527 glanced at Shen Mingjiao, whose face was getting redder and redder, and firmly stated.

Enough is enough, I think this is outrageous!

"Stop looking at me!" Shen Mingjiao's cheeks were as pink as peaches, and her already sweet face became even more charming with that reproachful look.

"If I don't look at you, who else can I look at? I can't find anyone else to look at."

"As long as you're here, my eyes will only be on you."

Qi Shaoyou decided to take the plunge and decided to make the request for temporary marking today.

It's utterly ridiculous for an alpha to make such a ridiculous request after only meeting a few times.

She refused to believe it!

"I knew it, you still like me."

Shen Mingjiao smiled, her smile as beautiful as a pink flower blooming on a branch in spring.

Fresh and natural, it's so beautiful it's breathtaking.

The usually aloof Miss Shen looked exceptionally beautiful with a touch of shyness in her eyes.

"I brought this!" Shen Mingjiao took out a round object from her bag.

A question mark appeared above Qi Shaoyou's head.

A signal jammer? What would you do with that?

Then she watched as Shen Mingjiao locked the door to the private room.

"There are no cameras in this room, and the signal is blocked, making it safer. This is a new model, and it can also block the scent of pheromones."

As Shen Mingjiao walked from the door to the sofa, Qi Shaoyou still didn't understand what she was going to do.

"You like me, and I like you too. But Mom won't let me be with you."

Shen Mingjiao's face grew redder as she spoke. She unbuttoned her coat and swept her long hair to one side, revealing the neck patch.

The next second, she ripped off the patch. A rich, sweet peach scent filled the entire room a second later.

"Take a bite! Mark me for life! That way, Mom won't be able to stop us!"

After saying that, Shen Mingjiao felt her heart pounding so hard it filled the entire room. She walked up to Qi Shaoyou, then steeled herself, abandoning her usual reserve, and kissed him on the lips.

Qi Shaoyou: Help! Help me! Oh my god!

Her face was calm, but her soul had actually been gone for a while.

0527 also feigned shock, but didn't scream because she was afraid the big boss would get angry and delete her game.

Thanks to his experience of spouting nonsense in other villainous worlds, Qi Shaoyou reacted within three seconds of being forcibly kissed.

Shen Mingjiao didn't know how to kiss at all; her so-called kiss was nothing more than their lips touching.

Qi Shaoyou reached out and pulled her into his arms, then took out the suppression patch he always carried and put it on her.

[Luckily, you had the foresight to wear both alpha-suppressing patches and omega-suppressing patches every day.]

0527 felt like he was about to die of fright.

"Why?" Shen Mingjiao's innocent and pure expression made Qi Shaoyou's conscience, which was already somewhat aching, ache.

She took a deep breath before looking at Shen Mingjiao.

"Jiaojiao, do you know what a lifelong mark is?" As soon as Qi Shaoyou finished speaking, Shen Mingjiao hesitated before giving her answer.

"It seems to be a marking method between alphas and omegas. After being marked for life, the omega can only find this alpha to relieve their heat cycle."

Qi Shaoyou nodded before speaking.

“A lifelong mark is not something to be taken lightly; it’s a lifelong commitment.”

Upon hearing "a lifetime," Shen Mingjiao nodded.

"I know, don't worry, I think I can stay with you for life! Don't worry, I always keep my word!"

Shen Mingjiao's eyes were bright and sparkling, like the most crystal-clear drop of dew on a leaf in the early morning.

Headache……

"Jiaojiao, did you know that an alpha can mark many omegas for life?"

"Did you know that a lifetime marking takes a full three days?"

"Do you know how painful it is for an omega who has been permanently marked to not receive a mark from an alpha during their heat cycle?"

Three questions left Shen Mingjiao stunned, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Besides, Jiaojiao, don't you understand me? A lifelong mark is a very important thing, and it can't be decided so easily."

0527 glanced at the pop-up panel and sighed.

[Boss, you're going to have to write another self-criticism.]

[Let him write it; it's better than being marked for life!]

Qi Shaoyou fastened the metal buttons that Shen Mingjiao had unfastened back on, one by one.

In her heart, Shen Mingjiao was like an innocent and cute younger sister, although sometimes the things she did caught her off guard.

"Get some rest. I'll have someone tell you not to disturb me. I have an appointment, so I'll be going now."

Qi Shaoyou touched Shen Mingjiao's long hair, then quickly fled the scene.

It's alright, it wasn't all bad for her today. She's going to see Aunt Shen with all that peachy omega essence, Aunt Shen will definitely be very angry.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon private room, Qi Shaoyou sat down, contemplating how to deal with the possibility of being slapped.

The door opened, and Aunt Chen walked in.

“You are indeed a good child, and I don’t object to your relationship with Jiaojiao.”

Qi Shaoyou's pupils widened in shock.

How is saying hello not considered objection? Huh? I brought your daughter's pheromones to meet you! Why wouldn't I object? Is that reasonable?
