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

"You brat, you're getting less and less cute as you grow up."

“You didn’t say that before.”

Chen Ming lay down and took the beating. Before, his aunt still doted on him as much as before, but now that they had confirmed their relationship, her attitude towards him had become much worse.

That's normal, though. I used to be his elder, and although I often teased him, I still had a feeling of caring for him.

Now that they are on equal footing, the aunt treats Chen Ming more like a lover, and it's perfectly normal for lovers to bicker.

He was happy with this change, so he didn't resent his aunt's spoiled behavior; on the contrary, he was glad that she was sincere.

Seeing his grinning face, his aunt grabbed his cheek, breaking his smile, and said with displeasure—

"Shameless person, still smiling."

"Being with you makes me incredibly happy."

"..."

Looking into the intensity in his eyes, the aunt felt a surge of emotion that was too much for a young woman like herself to resist. She blushed and turned her head away.

Chen Ming reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his eyes tender.

In any case, he will not let go.

A relationship that has gone bad can never be recovered.

The aunt did not stop him. Feeling his slightly rough, thick, and warm palms, she narrowed her eyes slightly and calmed down.

The toes twitched slightly, and that was the only movement; otherwise, there was only silence.

The two of them quietly savored this moment.

Aunt pursed her lips, but spoke first—

"I'm leaving, Mingming."

"...Going to work, right?"

Chen Ming's eyes were filled with reluctance. His aunt's work required her to travel all over the world, making it impossible to see her every day. She only came back on holidays.

She looked at him, equally reluctant to part. She had felt this reluctance before, but now it carried a different tinge.

She was truly in love, even though their relationship was nominal, even though there was such a big age gap between them, even though she felt that what she was doing was shameless...

I'll still be like a silly girl, loving and believing in our future together.

First love is always so beautiful, and he promised never to let go, to let her beautiful love continue. How could she not be moved?

She had never believed such childish talk as "until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble," but now, if he said it, she would believe anything.

He said—

"I'm so reluctant to leave you. I want to stay with you forever, to live my life with you, and to have children with you..."

Such sweet talk seemed rather unsophisticated, even somewhat laughable, but Auntie didn't laugh. Instead, she lowered her head shyly and said—

"Having...having children...I already have Xiaoxiao..."

"Why don't we have one too?"

Chen Ming had just spoken when he thought for a moment, then shook his head and said—

"Never mind."

"what?"

Aunt's eyes widened. "What? Forget it? Why forget it? Doesn't he want to have a child with her...?"

Before she could overthink things, Chen Ming said—

"One isn't enough, we need at least ten! To make it a round number."

"...Don't round everything up to a whole number!"

The aunt couldn't help but complain. Ten! Are they treating her like a sow? Giving birth every year would take at least ten years; she'd go crazy from giving birth.

Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but she's going to be stupid for thirty years.

Chen Ming laughed, took her hand, and said—

"You're about to run away, but there's still something you haven't given me, is there?"

"..."

His aunt looked at him, her face turning even redder, her ears practically burning. She turned her head away and said—

"I...I still need to prepare myself mentally..."

Meat-silk-colored beautiful feet moved slightly, somewhat embarrassed.

You need to be mentally prepared, which means you're already planning to accept him, but you're still a bit reserved.

But it's inevitable, isn't it?

Chen Ming's eyes softened as he smiled and said—

"It's okay, I know."

He spoke up to comfort her.

It made his aunt feel like she was the younger one and that he was always taking care of her.

The dignity of being an adult...

Forget it, let's just throw them all away. As long as he's here, that's enough.

His aunt leaned against his chest and slowly closed her eyes.

……

……

Are you leaving?

The older sister looked at her aunt, who was pulling a suitcase. Just like when she came, she was wearing high-heeled sandals, revealing her slender and delicate insteps. Above that was a pair of slim-fit casual pants that outlined a beautiful curve, and a small leather belt around her waist.

Her black, form-fitting, openwork top revealed her rounded shoulders, while her flaxen hair and pale eyes exuded charm.

The mature beauty has now become fashionable and charming.

She looked at her daughter, lowered her eyes slightly, and said to her—

"Xiaoxiao... my daughter, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, I told you I don't care."

Chen Xiao shook his head.

Auntie felt even more guilty. She secretly glanced at him, who was laughing happily beside her, pursed her lips, and looked back at Xiaoxiao.

I'll assume you really don't care...

Auntie thought to herself guiltily.

Chapter 479 The Scent of Guilt

The aunt and sister hugged, and the mother and daughter showed great reluctance to part.

After letting go of her sister, the aunt saw Chen Ming shamelessly open his arms as if to hug her. The aunt twitched her lips, feeling a surge of resentment at his smirking face.

When we were alone together before, he felt that we hadn't seen each other for a long time. His aunt made many concessions and let him hug her for a long enough time, but he was still not satisfied and wanted to show his shamelessness now.

"aunt?"

Chen Ming blinked innocently, looking at her tilting her head. He seemed like an innocent nephew who didn't understand why his aunt was distancing herself from him. His face showed seven parts confusion and three parts sadness.

"..."

So he actually has acting talent? His acting skills are good enough to be nominated for Best Actor, right? He clearly got so many advantages, yet he can still pretend to be so aggrieved.

really...

Auntie slightly raised her right leg and gently stomped her open-toed sandal foot, trying not to let her sister notice. She pursed her lips; in truth, she had no time to hesitate. Xiaoxiao was so clever; she could only try to act "normal" to match Chen Ming's behavior.

So she had no choice but to reach out and, under her sister's watchful gaze, embrace Chen Ming...

His own daughter was watching...

Auntie felt as if she was being coerced in a different way, being bullied by him in a scenario where she had no choice but to compromise. It was clearly dangerous, but... there was a strange feeling about it.

In front of his sister, Chen Ming put his arm around her slender waist, pressed this fashionable urban woman close to him, and revealed a smile from an angle that his sister couldn't see.

He gently kissed his aunt's earlobe, her flaxen hair framing her rosy ears. He lightly squeezed her waist and whispered—

"Auntie, you're mine. Don't stay away for too long this time, okay?"

As he spoke, he gently ran his other hand across her lips, which were covered in lipstick, taking away a glistening drop.

His voice seemed to have a magical quality. Auntie felt that everything about her was bound by him. In fact, she had already lost her freedom, was shackled, and was deeply trapped in his net, becoming his possession.

Except for the final step, she had already been taken from everything and could no longer escape.

She could only agree with a dazed look in her eyes—

"I...I know..."

Chen Ming smiled with satisfaction, pinched her again, and, feeling he had teased her enough, let go. His aunt quickly composed herself, forced a smile, and said—

"Then I'll go."

"Ah."

In the older sister's eyes, the two of them were just hugging normally. The bright red ear was already hidden in the flaxen hair, and the area on her waist that he had gently pinched red was also invisible to her.

She was completely unaware of everything.

The secrets of these two people behind her became increasingly alluring and captivating.

He watched his aunt turn around, her long, slender legs and beautiful feet in sandals raised high, anticipating a future that would surely be wonderful…

……

After her aunt got into a taxi and left, her older sister breathed a sigh of relief. A troublesome person was gone. She smiled at Chen Ming and said—

"Your aunt is gone, no one will bully you anymore."
