Chapter 64: The True Apology
Qi Shaoyou raised an eyebrow upon seeing the black card. This was within her expectations; after disliking her, Shen Mingjiao wouldn't want to have much contact with her.
Thinking about this, Qi Shaoyou felt a pang of sadness, yet also felt that this was the right thing to do.
“I understand what Miss Shen means. In that case…” Qi Shaoyou paused, his mood somewhat downcast.
Qi Shaoyou knew what he and Shen Mingjiao had been through, and even though they had lost their emotions, she knew how intense their feelings for each other were.
"Don't feel embarrassed to accept this money, Miss Qi. Actually, I'm very grateful to you."
"But there's someone I really like. Although I don't know her name or where she is..."
Will I ever meet him in my lifetime?
"However, as long as I meet the person of my dreams, I will definitely marry her. So, I'm sorry, this is the only way I can thank you with such a mundane gesture."
"I'm sorry, you must think I'm silly." As she said this, Shen Mingjiao blushed and lowered her head, taking a piece of avocado sandwich to hide her embarrassment.
Shen Mingjiao didn't know why she was talking to Qi Shaoyou about these things, since she hadn't even told her mother or mommy about the person in her dream.
Qi Shaoyou, who was feeling upset just a moment ago, is no longer upset; she is now drenched in sweat.
Who can blame her? She is the very person from my dreams!
Qi Shaoyou's mind raced, and he thought of the quality that Shen Mingjiao used to hate: materialism.
"No way, I really like money. Who would think money is vulgar? Of course not, money is anything but vulgar." Qi Shaoyou quickly grabbed the black card from the table, pretending to be very happy.
"How could this be an insult to me? If this is an insult, I would love for Miss to insult me a few more times."
Qi Shaoyou felt cold sweat breaking out on his brow, and he kept urging himself to think quickly and without thinking.
"Huh?" Shen Mingjiao took a bite of her sandwich and stared at Qi Shaoyou in disbelief.
She was already sweet and cute, but now she looks so dazed, like a little kitten.
Qi Shaoyou resisted the urge to touch Shen Mingjiao's hair, and finally, the most outrageous thing she could think of came out of her head.
"As long as Miss continues to have money, I will keep her temporarily marked forever."
"Whether or not you find your dream man, Miss, I can help you."
That was a temporary mark, one of the ways alphas and omegas get close. And she just blurted it out!
Qi Shaoyou spoke frankly, and as soon as he finished, he saw that Shen Mingjiao, who had just been looking dazed, had changed her expression.
You bastard!
"Do you even know what your words mean? I was grateful for what happened last time because it was so sudden. But if you're only after money, what's the difference between that and selling yourself?"
Shen Mingjiao stopped eating her sandwich and started yelling at Qi Shaoyou.
In Qi Shaoyou's eyes, it was as if his old cat was meowing at him.
What to do? She seems willing to be the kitten's scratching post.
Ugh, Qi Shaoyou felt like her romance module was about to be completely destroyed. Thankfully, even if her blocked emotions returned, the young lady would still hate her.
“Yeah, I’m a jerk. I never said I was a good person.” Qi Shaoyou smiled, picked up the oatmeal cup and a spoon from the table.
Before it could even touch her mouth, Shen Mingjiao snatched it away.
"Are you really that indifferent to temporary markers? So casual about them?"
"Then you're not allowed to eat this!" Shen Mingjiao deliberately snapped at Qi Shaoyou, her round eyes widening and her cheeks puffing out.
Qi Shaoyou clearly saw the disappointment overflowing in the young lady's eyes.
The oatmeal cups were made by Shen Mingjiao, and Qi Shaoyou immediately realized it. The young lady didn't want such a wicked person as her to eat the breakfast she had made herself.
Qi Shaoyou stood up, went over, and snatched the oat cup back.
How can you ask for something back after giving it away?
Upon hearing Qi Shaoyou's words, Shen Mingjiao couldn't stop the tears from welling up in her eyes.
Seeing the young lady's tears, Qi Shaoyou began to regret whether he had spoken too harshly.
Moreover, seeing the little pearl reminded her that she had once said the same thing to Shen Mingjiao.
However, that time she wanted Shen Mingjiao's heart.
"You bad woman! I'll never ask you to mark me again!" Shen Mingjiao's eyes were red with anger. After saying that, she grabbed her small bag and left.
The door slammed shut, and Qi Shaoyou looked at the bowl of oatmeal in his hand with a sense of loss.
Her emotions hadn't even lingered for three seconds before they were broken by 0527 and Shen Ping.
"The young lady has left?" The first to emerge from the room was Chen Ping, with food crumbs still on her lips.
"Compared to you, Lao Qi, you must be in a bad mood right now. In that case, I'll gladly accept the breakfast."
"You haven't eaten the oatmeal bowl in your hand either, so I can accept it with a smile."
Chen Ping sat down at the dining table and stared at the portion in Qi Shaoyou's hand.
"Dream on." Qi Shaoyou rolled his eyes at her and directly rejected this old monk.
"If you want to be a monk, go find your Song Youbai. It won't work here." Qi Shaoyou's refusal made Shen Ping pout.
0527 also appeared at this time, her eyes shining as she looked at the breakfast on the table.
"Eat up, you can try some now." After Qi Shaoyou finished speaking, 0527 rushed to the dining table with shining eyes.
Qi Shaoyou tasted Shen Mingjiao's cuteness after just one bite. Oatmeal bowls come in both sweet and savory varieties, but this was the first time she'd ever seen one filled with so much peach pulp.
Shen Mingjiao picked out the best peaches, and each bite brought a rich satisfaction to her taste buds.
"Ding-dong." The doorbell rang again. Chen Ping, who was happily eating, gestured to Qi Shaoyou, who was closer to the door, to open it.
Qi Shaoyou assumed that Shen Mingjiao had left something behind, and his first words after opening the door were "I'm sorry."
"Is this something I'm supposed to deliver to Jiaojiao?" Song Youbai asked Qi Shaoyou, still holding something in his hand.
"How could you make someone so angry?" Song Youbai's eyes didn't seem to agree.
Qi Shaoyou didn't say anything, but simply opened the door and let Song Youbai in.
"Wife!" As soon as Shen Ping saw that it was Song Youbai, she immediately put down the food she was holding and rushed over.
Song Youbai held down the running lamb, grabbed the person, walked to the dining table, and then pulled out a tissue.
"Little kitten, what's wrong? Are you asked to play a kitten in a performance?" Song Youbai couldn't help but smile as he looked at Shen Ping.
0527, who was eating breakfast, pouted after seeing this.
"It's great to have breakfast first thing in the morning, but why is there even dog food!" 0527 complained, her skills undiminished.
“This is…” Song Youbai then noticed the stranger.
“My cousin wants to come visit my school during her vacation.” Qi Shaoyou finished making up 0527’s background as soon as he opened his mouth.
Song Youbai nodded, wiped Shen Ping's lips, and kissed her again.
Shen Ping, who is usually the most eloquent, blushed and didn't say a word this time.
"Qi Shaoyou, Jiaojiao has prepared a special gift for you."
"The division agreement with your father."
“She just couldn’t believe you were the kind of person in the video. So, she helped you catch that father who was hiding.”
"This is her true apology."
Qi Shaoyou opened his mouth and took another bite of the oatmeal bowl.
If Song Youbai said a few more words, her emotional module would be activated by this guy.
"I'm not the right alpha for Shen Mingjiao, but I still want to thank her for this."
"Please, Teacher Song, take me to see my father." Before leaving this world, Qi Shaoyou really wanted to get rid of this bastard.
