Chapter 149 Careful
Shen Ci'an entered with a bouquet of flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers instantly filled the kitchen.

Looking at the bouquet in his hand, Su Muyao's eyes lit up. She loved flowers, and seeing them always made her feel good.

After the apocalypse in the previous life, the air environment changed, and fresh flowers were not easy to grow. Many decorative flowers were fake, but fake flowers could not look as beautiful and comfortable as fresh flowers, nor did they have the natural fragrance.

Shen Ci'an had been observing Su Muyao's expression, and he smiled and said, "It seems that my wife likes it."

Su Muyao looked at the different flowers, including lavender, jasmine, and camellia, and her expression changed slightly. She didn't deny that she liked them.

"Why did you send me these flowers?" Even if Su Muyao liked flowers, she wouldn't accept them so easily; she suspected he had some ulterior motive.

Shen Ci'an said, "It was my fault that I didn't come back during this time. I admit it. I want to pursue my wife again and make her accept me again."

As Shen Ci'an spoke, the corner of his eye twitched, and even his beauty mark moved slightly. His eyes were long and alluring, capable of easily captivating the soul.

Especially when he looks down at her intently, it's as if he's born with affection in his eyes.

Su Muyao was about to say something.

Shen Ci'an seemed to know she was about to refuse, and before she could speak, he continued, "I know my wife won't accept me now, but please give me a chance."

"I will pursue my wife earnestly and let her see my sincerity."

He wouldn't be like that fool Mei Qingchen, who annoyed his wife. He would pursue her in a way that she liked.

"There are reasons why I have been missing for this period of time; it did not disappear without a reason."

Su Muyao looked at Shen Ci'an, and she was a little unaccustomed to him talking to her so seriously. This was not like him at all.

"As you know, my wife knows the situation of my Shen family. My mother has many husbands and sons in her harem. In the past, my mother thought my appearance was useful and could bring benefits to the family through marriage alliances, so she treated me fairly well."

"It's just that my mother is nicer to me, which arouses the dissatisfaction and jealousy of others. Naturally, the family resources cannot be balanced, so some people want me dead."

Su Muyao suddenly recalled a memory from her predecessor, that during her exile, there was a group of assassins who seemed to be targeting Shen Ci'an.

"Your family wants to kill you?"

Shen Ci'an's lips curled into a strange and self-mocking smile as he explained, "My half-brother wanted to kill me, and my mother's first beast husband also wanted to kill me."

Su Muyao knew that it was normal for brothers to kill each other in order to compete for favor and resources.

"But why would your mother's first beast husband want to kill you? You are a male beast, and your Shen family has female beasts. Naturally, the female beasts will inherit the family business. It has nothing to do with you. You can't harm their interests."

Shen Ci'an smiled wickedly and touched his face. "Because of my face."

“I am somewhat like my father. After my mother met my father, she doted on him for a long time, which made all the beastly men in the backyard hate my father.”

"So my face, which looks somewhat like my father's, naturally makes them uncomfortable."

Su Muyao was also shocked by these words. Wasn't this the hatred and killing brought about by the power struggles in the inner quarters?

"So you went and took care of them?"

Shen Ci'an smiled wickedly, "Of course, lure them all out and kill them."

Su Muyao didn't know whether she understood or not.

"Don't be afraid, my wife. I will only kill those who deserve to die and those who kill me. My face doesn't look like that of a good person, but that's not what I wanted. Vampire beastmen are naturally beautiful. Alas, there's nothing I can do about it."

"If my wife is worried, I can slash my own face." Shen Ci'an didn't actually like his face; it was easy for it to cause trouble. But if his wife liked his appearance, then it would be useful.

When others saw his face, their greedy and malicious eyes disgusted him; only when his wife looked at him was her gaze so clear.

Su Muyao quickly replied, "No, no need."

Su Muyao thought for a moment and comforted him, saying, "Don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes."

"There's another saying: mercy to the enemy is cruelty to yourself. If others want to harm you, it's perfectly normal for you to kill them."

Upon hearing these words, Shen Ci'an suddenly laughed. When he truly laughed, his beauty was captivating, like a night-blooming cereus blooming in the dark night, both eerie and intense.

“I really like what you said. My wife is so kind. So, can you give me a chance? I don’t ask you to accept me. I just need a chance to pursue you.”

Su Muyao seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Then what about your previous fiancée?"

Shen Ci'an curled his lips in disgust. "Heh, that's a hypocritical and treacherous woman. She says one thing to your face and another in her heart."

"She was a female beast carefully selected for me by my mother, my first beast husband. How could she be a good person?"

"In this way, my mother's first husband, the beast, not only gained a good reputation but also used someone else to do his dirty work."

"I guess he didn't expect that the family he chose would be convicted and exiled, while I married the mistress and escaped their control."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao seemed to understand something and said, "So you deliberately appeared in front of me back then, so I would snatch you away." The original owner of this body was stunned by this face; one look was enough to make her think of him.

Shen Ci'an lowered his head, a shimmering light flashing in his narrow eyes, and said in a deep, mellow tone, "My wife is not her. I was wrong in the past, but now I only like to pursue you, my current wife."

Su Muyao's heartstrings trembled violently.

"you……"

“It doesn’t matter if my wife denies it. I know it in my heart. Don’t worry, my wife, I won’t say anything.”

After he made up his mind, he observed her for a few days before seriously pursuing her. His face always gave people a bad and misleading feeling, but in reality, he was the most serious about relationships.

“My lady, this is the first time I’ve ever pursued a female beast and the first time I’ve ever given her flowers. If you don’t like them, I’ll go pick some other flowers.”

The space system couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, host, this is what it looks like to seriously pursue you!"

"What's wrong with Mei Qingchen? She can't compare to Shen Ci'an's methods. Look, Shen Ci'an really knows how to chase after female beasts."

"This Shen Ci'an is very clever. Being able to read minds makes a difference. He probably observed you for a while and knew your preferences, which is why he used this method to pursue you. It won't make you feel disgusted or uncomfortable; on the contrary, it's quite refreshing."

Su Muyao knew that, just as the system had said, Shen Ci'an had indeed put in a lot of effort. She couldn't bring herself to speak coldly to someone who had put in the effort. She reached out and took the bouquet of flowers. "Where did you pick these flowers?"

She thought they were quite pretty and suddenly realized that she could use them to decorate the shop. She also thought that putting vases with flowers on the kitchen windowsill would make cooking a more pleasant experience.

Shen Ci'an explained, "I saw it when I went up the mountain to cut wood, so I picked it and brought it back." Actually, he specifically looked for it on the mountain.

"If my wife likes them, I will pick more."

As he spoke, Shen Ci'an took out another vase and placed it on the windowsill.

"This is a wooden vase that I made myself, and I can put fresh flowers in it."
