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

Chen Ming looked at her, gently patted her head, and said—

"You're not sick. Jealousy is a normal emotion. It's because you like me too much that you're jealous."

"I see... Then I won't be jealous anymore..."

Cerberus was reflecting on himself, and it seemed he could see the ears on her head sadly covering his own.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"Why aren't you jealous? Don't you like me anymore?"

"No, no!"

Cerberus was getting anxious.

Chen Ming patted her white hair and said—

"Then continue to be jealous. I don't find Cerberus's little jealousy troublesome at all; on the contrary, I find it quite adorable... And don't worry, regarding that matter... I promise I will give you an answer."

Cerberus blinked his large red eyes, looked at him hopefully, and said—

"really?"

"real."

Chen Ming had a smile on his face.

Cerberus didn't want to see her troubled, and he couldn't bear to see her sobbing. Her suppressed emotions to understand him only made him feel more sorry for her.

There's just no way around it...

Chen Ming felt that he really was...

Damn it...

Chapter 652 Only Gentle and Careful Towards You

"Hahaha……"

Cerberus lay on the ground happily hugging Chen Ming, who was sitting down. The beautiful girl's body darted around on him. Although she looked like a beautiful girl, her actions were still those of a dog.

That's why he's a bit conflicted...

Chen Ming felt somewhat helpless. The bond between the dog and its owner had become somewhat strained. He had made a promise to her, so he definitely had to reciprocate.

In the end, it's still about spoiling.

Or perhaps he harbors a secret expectation? Of course, he'd never admit it; how could he possibly have feelings for a dog...

"Hey!"

Cerberus reached out and hugged his neck tightly, his soft body pressed against his back, and he felt an amazing softness on the back of his head.

"..."

Chen Ming's cheeks flushed slightly, as if responding to the dog's honesty had brought back some things he had previously overlooked.

It's clearly just a silly dog...

Yet it's so soft...

Am I becoming less and less principled? I have no self-control at all; I couldn't even resist Cerberus's teary-eyed look.

What would the girls in my family say if they found out?

After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Ming felt a bit like dying.

Having anything to do with a dog would be socially disastrous if word got out, even though this dog is also a very beautiful young woman.

Hey……

There's nothing he can do; he just can't let go.

Who told him to be fooled by that stupid dog back then and become her owner? From that moment on, this cause and effect was probably already destined.

Cerberus, unaware of Chen Ming's inner turmoil, kept pawing at him and said—

"Master, I love you."

"Uh-huh."

"Does my master like me?"

"I like it, I like it."

"Do you like it even more than that big fox?"

"..."

Chen Ming looked up and realized that Gouzi was indeed quite different from before, and knew how to make comparisons like this. Perhaps it was because Xiao Hei was of similar status to her?

Cerberus looked at Chen Ming, speechless, puffed out his cheeks, and said—

"You scumbag owner, you already have me, why are you still looking for other pets?"

Although logically the big black fox was the first to arrive, it should have been reset to zero when it left home, so it doesn't count!

Cerberus nodded and said—

"It's okay, I love my owner the most. Even if my owner is unfaithful to other dogs, I will still love them."

"Do you only see dogs as your competitors?"

Didn't you previously deny that foxes are dogs? You even said that the most legitimate lineage belongs to the Shinra clan.

Chen Ming smiled, not knowing what to say about her. She seemed a little nonsensical. Perhaps a dog's thinking would be different even if it took human form.

Does territoriality only apply to members of the same species?

Or did they see it as a bone that other dogs would snatch away?

stomping on...

Small footsteps approached, and Chen Ming and Cerberus both turned to look, only to see Gu Qing, who had been gone for a while, appear outside the door.

A pair of beautiful feet in white sandals were slightly turned inwards, her expression was a little stiff, she looked at him for a moment, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, and then lowered her head while holding onto the door frame.

Chen Ming blinked, exchanged a glance with Cerberus on his back, and then smiled at Gu Qing, saying—

"What happened? Did something else happen...? He should be cured by now..."

"No, it's not a problem with their health..."

Gu Qing seemed extremely embarrassed to speak. She tapped her fingers together in front of her, bit her lower lip, and said—

"They...insist on seeing you one more time..."

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback, then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He had just ate someone else's daughter, and now they were already interrogating him?

No, they probably didn't even realize they had a relationship, but he's been living here, being kept like a mistress by Gu Qing. Anyone would suspect something unusual.

It's perfectly normal for parents to ask about the situation out of concern.

Gu Qing secretly glanced at his expression. His eyes, one red and one black, were timid. Seeing his silence, she assumed he was unwilling and said—

"I... I'm just letting you know, I'll get rid of them right now."

"Hey?"

Chen Ming snapped out of his daze and quickly called out to her, saying—

"How could you kick them out?"

If he were to drive his parents away again because of this man, ah… his sin would be truly grave. A bead of cold sweat slid down Chen Ming's forehead, and he smiled helplessly—

"Since we're already here, let's go see him... we should."

Although it feels a bit troublesome, does this count as meeting my future in-laws? It's my first time doing this, but if I think about it carefully, if I count from my sister's perspective, his parents are also my future in-laws, and my aunt is also my future in-laws... Mother-in-law and wife at the same time? It sounds so strange.

With more wives, you'll also have more in-laws.

However, many girls in the family don't have any elders, so this is the first time they've properly met the parents.

How should I introduce myself?

Hello, uncles and aunts, I am Gu Qing's master. Gu Qing said he would do anything for me... Saying something like that might get you stabbed into the street.

Chen Ming shrank his neck. Of course, he was just thinking about it casually and wouldn't actually say it; he wasn't made of wood.

He should just give a normal self-introduction, or maybe not even bother with one at all. He was sure Gu Qing's parents had done their research.

Basic information such as where someone works and how many people are in their family can be found everywhere and is being leaked or even sold in many places, which is really frustrating.

Gu Qing looked at Chen Ming and said—

"Actually, there's nothing to see. They can't say anything to me anyway. I've made up my mind about you, and that won't change."

"Then there's even less to worry about, right? It's fine to meet up casually, isn't it?"

Chen Ming stood up with a smile, while Cerberus was still clinging tightly to his back, hanging in a long strip on his body.

He walked up to Gu Qing and reached out to pat her head.

Gu Qing's expression softened slightly upon feeling his body temperature, but she still said—

"But...they might say some unpleasant things..."

She knew her parents must have looked up Chen Ming's information; she knew very well that the two men were extremely calculating.

Her mind is full of materialistic thoughts. She thinks that diplomas, jobs, income, status, and power are more important than anything else. She thinks these things are the best, otherwise she wouldn't have tried so hard to cram them into her hands, while ignoring her emotional needs as a person.

What will they think when they find out that Chen Ming is just an ordinary person? The answer is obvious.

Chen Ming looked at Gu Qing, cupped her cheeks, leaned in and kissed her, and said—

"It doesn't matter what they say. For your sake, I should go and see them."

"..."

Gu Qing blushed slightly, reached out and took his thick, slender hand, and said—

"Then go ahead, and if they dare to say anything nonsense, I'll throw them out."

"Let's not do this..."

This family dynamic is really... a bit unruly.
