Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

Chen Ming tilted his head, looking at his mother's smiling face, and felt that something was amiss.

Why did you let him off so easily?

It then shifted to another matter...

and……

"Mom, how did you know?"

He must have been risking his parents' approval to have conflicts with his wives.

……

P.S.: It seems like I've been tricked? (ω)

Chapter 1492 The Shy Mother

Chen Ming knelt on the ground helplessly, looking up at his mother with a somewhat blank expression. Now that she heard Chen Ming admit that there was a small conflict between him and his wife, her smile became even brighter.

He was no longer the blockhead he once was, and seeing his mother's expression, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that I've fallen into a trap?

The mother used the matter of Odin's wife to launch an attack, proposing a proposal that he absolutely could not accept, in order to draw out her true purpose at this moment.

In order to prevent Odin's wife from being kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law, he didn't care about anything else, and naturally he couldn't care less about hiding his small disagreement with Lucifer and the others.

After all, nothing is more important than his wife. Without his wife, he has no mind to care about anything else. He just blurted it out when his mother asked.

There's nothing I can do, he's just that useless.

"...Mom, you tricked me!?"

He stared wide-eyed at his mother, who was crouching down and cradling his cheeks; the smile on her face evoked a familiar fear in him.

In an attempt to get information out of him, they actually threatened him, telling him to divorce his wife!

"How could you... how could you do this..."

Chen Ming slapped the floor helplessly, his face as red as a little boy being played with by an adult's intelligence. He was almost rolling on the floor, it was infuriating.

But when faced with his own mother, he could only rage helplessly.

She raised an eyebrow and smiled, a slight smirk playing on her lips—

"What about me? Was anything I said wrong? What did I lie to you about? You've been hiding so many things from your mother, and you still have the nerve to complain to me? You brat."

His mother gently patted his head with her fair hand, chuckling and scolding him.

Chen Ming, fuming, gritted his teeth and said—

"I ignore you!"

He was about to get up and leave, but his mother pressed one hand on his shoulder, squinted her eyes, leaned closer, and whispered into his ear—

"Oh? Then let's talk about your sinful wife. I mean, her name is 'Odin,' right? How many people in your family know about her crimes? If everyone knows about it..."

Chen Ming thought about it. His family doted on him like a precious treasure... they would definitely ask what happened, and once they found out that Odin had pierced his body with a spear and he was almost dead...

He immediately knelt down properly again, and said in a trembling voice—

"I'm sorry, I admit my attitude was a bit bad just now, and I'll reflect on it."

In the end, I still couldn't escape my mother's clutches.

His mother smiled, patted his head, and said—

"Ah, actually I still prefer your unruly self, son. It's more fun to bully you like that."

"..."

So you've stopped pretending, huh? You've just said what's on your mind, haven't you? For so many years I've pretended you were doing it for my own good, and now you've just exposed yourself, haven't you?

It's safe to say that they are mother and son; their personalities are just like their mother's, and their quirky tastes are exactly the same.

Chen Ming gritted his teeth, unable to resist retaliating—

"I still prefer the way Mom looked when she was crying that day; she was much cuter than she is now."

Chen Ming immediately regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth.

Ugh, why was I so impulsive! What's the point of getting a momentary thrill? Now I've definitely made Mom really angry!

Chen Ming trembled with fear, and couldn't help but look up and say—

"No, no, I mean... huh?"

He looked up at his mother, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she turned her head slightly away, her cheeks seemed a little flushed, and she crossed her arms in front of her, her fingertips lightly tapping her elbows.

I thought my mother would be furious, but she was surprisingly calm.

"Mom, Mom?"

"Ah."

His mother responded with a soft "yes," glanced at him indifferently, and then sighed softly, saying—

"It was definitely a mistake to show you that side of things; you lost your sense of proportion..."

She lost much of her maternal authority in his presence, and he even dared to make fun of her like that.

She smiled and stroked his hair, saying—

"It's a kind of growth, I guess. If you never dare to talk back, you'll always be a kid..."

"Mother……"

"You've been hiding a lot of things from your mother, haven't you? In the past six months, it seems like you've become increasingly unfathomable to your mother, and sometimes I can even see the weariness in your eyes."

His mother knelt down in front of him, stroking him with one hand and hugging her knees with the other, and said—

“I think you must have been through a lot, things I can’t help you with, but if it’s just family, I’ll always be your support. So, feel free to come to me for help.”

We are mother and child, blood is thicker than water, isn't it?

"Mother……"

Looking at her gentle expression and feeling her caresses, Chen Ming couldn't help but feel calm.

He pursed his lips, and finally said to his mother—

“Lucifer and I have some disagreements right now.”

"Disagreement?"

"Yes, they want to give up their long-held ideals for me, but I also want to fight for them... This is also for myself, I don't want to give up."

He looked at his palm and said—

"But they objected to me doing this because I might be in danger... They don't want me to get hurt, so now the situation is complicated..."

"You two had a fight?"

Mom rested her chin on her hand, nodded, and said—

"Everyone wants what's best for the other person, but is there no way to resolve the conflict?"

Chen Ming cautiously observed his mother. After hearing her say "there might be danger," he feared she might also object, so he tentatively said—

"Mom, you can understand me, right? If we can save everyone, why give up anything? Everyone can be saved, so why can't we strive for it..."

This is his true thought; he has always had this idea of ​​wanting everything from the very beginning, which is why he created a harem.

I can't give up anything, so I want it all.

"...However, the price is that you will be in danger?"

His mother astutely identified the crux of the matter, and Chen Ming shrank back and fell silent.

She looked at her son, sighed softly, and said—

"If it were me in the past, I definitely wouldn't have agreed to this... I would have thought you were still a child who couldn't take responsibility for yourself... But now that you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."

"Mother……"

A light shone in Chen Ming's eyes. He never expected that his mother would actually stand by him. The mother who had protected him her whole life had finally chosen to "let go" on this day.

She smiled and said—

“I will talk to your father as well… although I feel it’s not necessary. Maybe he knows you better than I do, and his trust in you has never diminished.”

Even if I talk to my dad, he'll just nod and say "do a good job" and that's it.

Chen Ming also laughed, and said with a hint of flattery—

"Hehe, not at all. Dad is a hands-off manager. He's nothing like Mom, who gets things done."

Don't give me that.

His mother tapped his forehead and said—

"Come back safely, you hear? When you do, you'll have to tell us everything you've been hiding, like the real identities of your wives. Don't think we haven't noticed."

"Hahaha……"

Chen Ming scratched his head. Sure enough, his parents had noticed something was off, after all, they lived together.

The mother got up, dusted herself off, and was about to leave the balcony when she turned back, looked at her son who was also slowly getting up, and suddenly threatened him—

"By the way, don't tell anyone that I cried, okay? Not even your dad, understand?"

"what?"

Seeing his mother's unfriendly expression, Chen Ming shrank back even further and said timidly—

"I...I understand..."

Mom, is she shy?

It seems a bit scary.

……

P.S.: If I let it slip, even a god couldn't save me (ω)
