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

"..."

Chen Ming looked at her.

He squinted.

He continued from where he left off, saying—

"After all, Huihui is my wife, and I will treat her well."

"..."

Qin Hui glanced at him.

What wife? Who's your wife? I just want to bite him for taking advantage of her like that...

Although she had made some lighthearted jokes before, Qin Hui is currently in a vulnerable state, and even the slightest provocation will make her emotionally agitated.

"..."

The landlady lay on the sofa and moved her feet.

That idiot Qin Hui... she's just throwing herself away! She's getting deeper and deeper into this mess...

Chapter 244 IQ Drops to the Level of a Young Girl

Qin Hui and Chen Ming were taken to the balcony by their mother and given a lecture. She said that Chen Ming shouldn't always bully others and should care more about them. She also said that Qin Hui's work is not easy and that she should drive to pick her up from school when she has time, blah blah blah...

Chen Ming could only nod repeatedly.

Yes, um.

"Yes."

That's right.

"I understand."

……

Qin Hui covered her face, feeling as if this charade had truly become real. What on earth was going on? It seemed like coming here... was just a death wish.

From the very beginning, the two of them would verbally abuse each other with terms like "husband" and "wife" during their arguments. Now that I think about it... Qin Hui's visit was just a waste of time. It was as if she came specifically to meet the parents during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Good heavens... what have they done...?

Qin Hui really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Chen Ming just kept laughing, laughing very happily. He had already figured out how to tease this seemingly shrewd but actually clueless "mature woman" after his mother left.

"Are you still laughing?"

The mother was unaware of the affair between the two. Seeing that Chen Ming showed no remorse whatsoever and was still shamelessly smiling, she raised an eyebrow.

Chen Ming quickly forced a smile and said—

"I was wrong. I will definitely take better care of Huihui in the future and pick her up by car whenever I have time."

"That's more like it."

The mother nodded. So many girls had connections with her son, all of whom had come back with him, but Qin Hui was conspicuously overlooked. Letting Qin Hui come back on her own, even if no one said anything, would still make them secretly sad.

This is so unfair!

So whether it's just for show or not, even if a mother spoils her son, she can't remain indifferent; she definitely needs to discipline him.

If you don't serve every girl well, what's the point of having a harem? Aren't you afraid of being hacked to pieces?

The mother, hands on her hips, pointed a finger at her unruly son and said—

"You..."

They really cause me a lot of trouble.

Chen Ming nodded and agreed.

Dad glanced out onto the balcony from the living room, thought for a moment, and said—

Honey, where did my lighter go?

"You didn't know you put those things there? And you want to smoke? There are so many people in the house, you better hold it in."

As Mom walked back, she started scolding Dad. Chen Ming blinked, watching his parents start arguing, and couldn't help but give his dad a thumbs up for his clever way of diverting attention.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Ming looked at Qin Hui sitting beside him, smiled playfully, rested his chin on his hand, admired her exquisitely dressed profile, nudged her leg with his knee, and said—

"Oh dear, honey, you were coming, why didn't you let me know so I could pick you up? I ended up getting a lecture from Mom."

"...Shut up."

Qin Hui was practically gritting her teeth, already furious and embarrassed. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her moist lips were pursed, showing an expression that was both shy and angry.

They're so busy.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"You look so cute when you're vulnerable."

Perhaps it was because of her appearance that he enjoyed bullying her so much, tearing away all her pretense to see her most authentic self.

This teasing remark sounded like a thorn in Qin Hui's side. She glared at the man, who was three years younger than her, and said—

"You're the cutest. I'm three years older than you, little boy."

"I didn't blush and act like a child, desperately trying to get back at them."

Chen Ming looked at her; her hair was neatly tied up, with only a few strands gently brushing against her fair cheeks, which were flushed with pink.

Qin Hui remained stubborn and said—

"I let you keep quiet when Mom and Aunt were here, but now that it's just the two of us, I won't be polite if you keep talking nonsense."

"..."

Chen Ming looked at her and slowly narrowed his eyes.

Qin Hui felt a little uncomfortable and said—

"What? What kind of look is that?"

"I think you shouldn't force yourself to change how you address her. I don't mind if you just call her 'Mom'."

Chen Ming lowered his head and laughed.

Snapped.

Veins bulged on Qin Hui's forehead; she was furious, but she couldn't refute them. Ultimately, it was because she hadn't explained herself clearly and was harboring her own ulterior motives...

She pursed her lips and said—

"Auntie isn't..."

She glanced back cautiously; her mother wasn't nearby, but she still lowered her voice before speaking—

"...She's not my mom."

"……puff."

"If you're so brave, say it louder so Mom can hear you!" Chen Ming laughed again at her self-deceiving act.

Laugh, laugh, what are you laughing at?

Qin Hui finally couldn't hold back any longer, gritted her teeth, and slapped Chen Ming's thigh.

Chen Ming rubbed his thigh. The two of them were sitting on low stools on the balcony, actually quite close together. Chen Ming wasn't one to suffer in silence, so he slapped Qin Hui's black-stockinged thigh as well.

It's soft, bouncy, and incredibly silky.

It feels very good.

"Wow, you..."

Qin Hui's temper flared up. "How can this be? He has absolutely no gentlemanly manners!" she exclaimed.

"Are you a primary school student? You want to fight back?"

Why can't we fight back?

"You don't even know how to give way to girls. You'll never find a wife in your life."

As he spoke, he slapped Chen Ming on the thigh again.

"No need for you to worry."

Chen Ming also slapped her thigh with black stockings and said—

"I already have a wife, so having you won't make a difference. At least you're a free gift."

"You're the one who's given away for free!"

Qin Hui gritted her teeth and hit him again.

Chen Ming immediately retaliated... To be honest, Qin Hui's hits didn't hurt at all; her own hand might even hurt a bit. But Chen Ming hitting her thigh felt like hitting jelly—very comfortable and very fun.

In this way, Chen Ming will never lose out.

Qin Hui seemed to realize this as well. Was it strange that a grown man was patting her thigh repeatedly?

Um, why didn't we notice anything wrong at first? She patted Chen Ming on the shoulder one last time.

Then, blushing, she took a stool and sat far away.

The fight, which resembled a brawl between elementary school students, has just ended.

Chen Ming looked at her and said—

"Give me my money back."

"No."

Qin Hui stuck out her tongue.

Chen Ming wondered if her IQ had dropped to that of a young girl... She even had to take advantage of this little bit of money. Had a big boss really fallen to this level?

Chen Ming looked at her and said—
