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

"Yes, I understand..."

Lucifer was so shy that he could barely speak. Perhaps his mother had already found out about the absurd things that had happened in Chen Ming's room.

Her mother could tell from the expression on her face that she truly took her words to heart; she just sometimes couldn't control herself.

That's enough that she has this intention; an obedient daughter-in-law will be understood by her mother-in-law.

After comforting her for a few moments, her mother said—

"Tomorrow, Chen Jun and I will be leaving."

Are Mom and Dad leaving?

"After all, the holiday is almost over, and I still have to go to work. It will be easier when I retire, but not now. I've been extremely busy these past few years."

The mother sighed softly, but there was nothing much to say about work to Lucifer; she just wanted to let him know a little bit about the situation.

She looked into those red eyes and said solemnly—

"We're leaving now, please take care of the child."

"..."

Lucifer looked at his mother's expression, slightly taken aback, then smiled and said—

"Leave it to 'us' with peace of mind, Mom."

"..."

The mother smiled. Her daughter-in-law was truly exceptionally intelligent. She was happy that her silly son had such a capable girl by his side, but she was also a little worried that he would become too dependent on her.

Mom said—

"You're such a child... it's okay to be a little more willful with him."

Lucifer scratched his head, looked at the right hand held by his mother, at the dazzling ring on it, and said with a smile—

"I've been willful enough today..."

Don't worry, Mom.

……

……

"No, you're not allowed in!"

His teasing made his sister a little embarrassed, so she grabbed her clothes and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

Chen Ming stood outside, scratching his head.

What's the point of being wary of him now? Besides, it was clearly my sister who sneaked into the bathroom and took advantage of him to get ahead of me. Now that he's the fish in my mouth, do you think I don't need to waste any more bait?

That's going too far.

This is too much, my dear sister! When she was pursuing me, she was so enthusiastic, hugging and kissing me in bed, teasing me with all sorts of words, and even making a surprise move in the bathroom.

Now that it's in your mouth, you're making all sorts of excuses?

Hmph... It's useless.

Chen Ming looked at the bathroom door. If his sister could force her way in before, then he could naturally force his way in too, as long as he had the key.

Auntie probably has the key, so let's go and have some fun with her first. Hmph... Giving him an excuse to flirt with someone's mother, not bad at all.

You can take a shower in peace, I'm going to raid your house.

Chen Ming's thoughts are becoming increasingly wicked.

Just then...

Om-!

"Ok?"

Chen Ming took out his phone and looked at the caller ID; it was Qin Hui. It had been a whole day since they'd last seen each other, and Chen Ming had missed her terribly. He answered the phone and said—

"Hello? Huihui? What's up..."

Why didn't you call me?!

"???"

Chen Ming, looking bewildered, took the phone away, blinked, and wondered why Huihui had such a bad temper. He put the phone back to his ear and said—

"W-What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

"You haven't seen me all day and don't seem to miss me at all... I've been working the whole time, and while I was working, I kept worrying that you might miss me and suddenly call me..."

Qin Hui's tone was very melancholy, almost as if she were complaining.

Chen Ming was somewhat puzzled and said—

"Didn't Cerberus say the gate would open tonight?"

"It has to be midnight, by which time I'll be asleep, and I'll be at the company with the door open, I don't have any at home."

We need to open one at the company and one at home, and each opening takes a day, so we're currently in an awkward time lag.

Chen Ming laughed and said—

"Oh dear, Miss Qin, do you miss me that much? Is it because of me that you've lost your appetite all day?"

"..."

The proud Miss Qin pursed her lips, completely agreeing with him, but she felt a little unwilling and couldn't help but want to argue with him.

Chapter 441 Flirting

Isn't that really going too far? We've been apart for a whole day, and she hasn't even bothered to call and check in. Is this how you treat your partner?

And yet I still miss you so much.

Qin Hui kicked the floor and bit her lower lip, saying—

"Miss you? I just want to talk to Xiaoying and see if you've done anything inappropriate to her."

"I'm very nice to my landlady. We hug and kiss each other every day, play together and chat together."

"Perverted lolicon should be shot."

"Don't you like the landlady? If you do, then you're a lolicon too, and you should be shot."

"How can I be the same? I'm a woman, and being a lolicon is not a crime!"

"What? Are you discriminating against men? Can't this world ever get any better? I'm so angry and cold."

As usual, Chen Ming and Qin Hui started arguing, waking Cerberus, who was sleeping in the living room, from their flirtatious banter.

Lately, the dog has become a bit lazy. After eating, he likes to sleep next to him and then he doesn't know anything when he falls asleep.

"Wang..."

She jumped off the sofa, came to Chen Ming's feet, curled up in a cute little ball.

Chen Ming smiled, bent down, and picked her up, petting her while talking to Qin Hui on his phone.

"You stubborn tsundere, just say you miss me, it's not shameful."

"You're so embarrassing, who would want to see someone like you?"

"You said before that you kept looking at your phone and wanted me to call you, didn't you?"

"Pah, I'm just afraid you'll call and disturb my work. It's not like I want you..."

Qin Hui's expression was sullen. She didn't know why, but when she talked back to him, she couldn't express her feelings. Now they were at each other's throats again. She had originally wanted to complain and act coquettishly like a lover.

It seems this is still too difficult for Miss Qin; she has developed a habit of saying one thing and meaning another in front of him.

Even if she didn't say anything, Chen Ming could tell what was going on with her. He stroked Cerberus in his arms, watching her expression become comfortable, her tail even twitching.

He smiled and said—

"Really? You really didn't miss me? You didn't suddenly space out during work breaks, and your secretary had to remind you repeatedly? You didn't try to slack off during meetings by sending me messages? You even made a blunder by signing my name on a document, which made your secretary suspicious..."

"???"

A series of question marks appeared on Qin Hui's mind, her expression one of utter shock, followed by a blush of embarrassment. How did he know so much? He even described every single detail so clearly, as if he had witnessed everything she had done today…

"you you……"

Qin Hui was so shy that she stammered and couldn't say a word. She had just proudly declared she didn't miss him, only to be ruthlessly exposed by his facts, leaving her utterly humiliated.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"What's wrong? Am I wrong, you tsundere Huihui?"

"How did you know...?"

Qin Hui couldn't help but look around, but couldn't find him.

Chen Ming said mysteriously—

"It's because I love you so much that I can sense what's going on with you, Huihui."

"Waaah..."

In the midst of the chaos, Qin Hui was hit by another straight shot, and she almost couldn't get up again, as she had to lean on the table.

Cerberus, its red eyes fixed on its smug master, couldn't help but let out a cry—

"Master, you're cheating."

Shh! Don't speak.

Chen Ming quickly told Cerberus to shut up, but Qin Hui had already heard him. Even if a woman who is capable of great things is mentally impaired by love, she wouldn't be stupid. Thinking of Cerberus, who was still in the company drawing up the array, she suddenly realized.

"...So it was the dog who reported this to you!"

Qin Hui said—

"What kind of love connection is this? I actually..."

"You actually believed that? My Huihui is so cute."

"Waaah..."
