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

He was never a decisive person; on the contrary, he was more indecisive and didn't want to force anything, especially not to see his loved ones suffer.

He patted her head and said—

"If you can't remember, don't think about it. Don't worry about it too much. Lucifer once said that you don't need to rush to remember memories you can't recall. Memories will come back as you follow the traces of your past."

The more he thought about his wife's words, the more meaningful they seemed. Lucifer had forgotten many things, but now they were slowly coming back to him, gradually revealing the outline of the mystery.

What happened to Lucifer after parting ways with Cerberus? What did he encounter before falling from the heavens to the underworld...?

The initial statement, "I fell down again," actually meant that he had fallen down twice: once to hell and once to earth, where he ended up beside him.

Recalling that fragment of memory, it was perhaps an unavoidable cause and effect that brought him together again; the memory, through him, once more found Lucifer.

Gu Qing shook her head, her hair swaying gently, then she looked up at him with a somewhat confused expression, and murmured—

"It's not that I... I can't remember anything..."

"Ok?"

Chen Ming's eyes lit up. Although he didn't want his wife to get hurt, it was certainly better that she remembered. He quickly smiled and asked—

"So what did you remember, Qin Hui?"

Qin Hui should be Gu Qing's good friend... right? I'm a little unsure, after all, these two seem to be sabotaging each other quite a bit.

Well, having a bad friend and having a good friend aren't mutually exclusive.

Gu Qing looked at him hesitantly, her expression rather strange, as if she were confused or at a loss, and she just stood there awkwardly.

Chen Ming froze, then a sense of unease crept into his heart. Could it be that he was remembering their intimate moments together...? Chen Ming looked at the middle school student in front of him, and his hand trembled in fright.

Listen, let me explain, officer!

My affair with Gu Qing happened legally. She turned back into a middle school student and he didn't even have time to do anything... oh no, he didn't do anything at all!

He was spouting nonsense, hoping the police would let him go.

He stammered as he explained—

"No, it's not like that, Gu Qing. Although it is like that, it's not what you think..."

Cerberus, not even knowing what he was explaining, looked at his helpless expression from his arms and tilted his head in confusion.

Gu Qingdu shrank his shoulders somewhat uneasily, so Cerberus had no choice but to grab his chest and say—

"Master, calm down."

"Huh? The dog can talk."

Gu Qing was somewhat surprised, but not too surprised. After all, she had already witnessed Mr. Chen Ming's miracles, so it wasn't surprising that the dog could talk now.

She also felt somewhat familiar with the dog.

Chen Ming calmed down, took a deep breath, looked at Gu Qing, and felt that he was mentally prepared. He smirked and asked—

"Gu Qing... what exactly did you remember..."

Looking into the innocent and adorable eyes of the middle school student Gu Qing, he forced himself not to look away, already prepared to be publicly executed.

Gu Qing placed her hand on her already full chest, lowered her head, stole a glance at him, and then blushed...

"..."

I knew it!

Chen Ming almost wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground, and then he saw Gu Qing slowly open her mouth.

She said—

"I remembered... being treated like a beast of burden..."

"Huh?" "Huh?"

Chen Ming and Cerberus tilted their heads almost simultaneously, their minds going blank upon hearing this unexpected answer.

"..."

A long silence followed.

Chen Ming looked at Gu Qing's awkward and hesitant manner, his lips twitching uncontrollably, and finally couldn't help but complain—

"Why did I think of this!"

Is this something more important to Gu Qing than her husband's status? Or is it just a random occurrence?

Just how obsessed are you with being treated like a slave?!

Chen Ming was roaring in his mind, and in reality he was panting heavily, almost defeated by Gu Qing. He almost fainted when he couldn't catch his breath.

Compared to Chen Ming's expression of disbelief, Gu Qing clenched her small fist, her face hardening, and said—

"Since you've remembered this, it must be something very important!"

"No, no, no, that's not important at all..."

Chen Ming waved his hand weakly. "Compared to this, you should think about our marital relationship first! You stupid wife!"

Finally, he couldn't help but mentally berate his eccentric wife. Even the Angel King hadn't defeated him, yet she almost did; Chen Ming was practically spitting blood.

Gu Qing shook her head and said—

“Mr. Chen Ming, you don’t need to say anything more, I understand.”

"What did you figure out???"

"Mr. Chen Ming is an angel. Since such an extraordinary being exists, there must be reincarnation, right? I must have been saved by Mr. Chen Ming in my past life and made a promise to be his slave. Mr. Chen Ming must have come to find me because of this!"

Goodness, he's made up a whole story in his head, weaving the whole backstory into the alleyway... but it's still pretty close to the truth.

He did indeed help her family more than once, and she did say things like "I'll do anything for you," but in the end, that wasn't the case at all. The words were right, but the result was wrong!

He quickly said—

"That's not how it is!"

"What was it like?"

Gu Qing tilted her head.

Chen Ming stammered at this point, because he didn't know where to refute the half-true, half-false statement.

While Gu Qing had always said there was no such thing as being a slave to him, it was more accurate to say that she wasn't seeking his services but simply because she was his wife…

Telling a middle school student "You are my wife"?

What kind of bizarre behavior is this?

It's over, a dead end. Chen Ming felt a wave of despair.

Gu Qing looked at him silently for a long time, becoming even more certain of her thoughts, and said—

"Mr. Chen Ming is a good person, he would definitely tell me not to mind, but no, even if it's something I promised in my past life, I will take responsibility to the end, this is my pride!"

"..."

Chen Ming actually saw the shadow of the future Queen of the Gu family in this little Gu Qing. Sure enough, it was the same person... Even the obsession with being his slave was the same.

He couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Chapter 830 The Rich Loli's Marriage Proposal

Chen Ming looked up at the sky, avoiding Gu Qing's bright, sparkling eyes, and felt a wave of helplessness wash over him. Why did she think of this? He couldn't think of anything else.

What's even more outrageous is that she actually accepted it! She looked like a very expectant little girl.

After his wife shrunk, he knew there must be something seriously wrong with her. This premise, which he initially set up, gradually became an excuse as their relationship deepened, and she herself was well aware of it.

Now everything is back to normal.

They're back, they're all back...

This feeling of utter frustration...

He contorted his face and said—

"Well, um... Little Gu Qing, it's really better not to take that stuff seriously, okay? Because the reality might not be what you think..."

"Isn't that so?"

Gu Qing tilted her head and asked—

"Didn't Mr. Chen Ming help me before?"

"Although I did help..."

"Wasn't it me who suggested repaying you by serving you like a beast of burden?"

"Although that's what was said..."

Under Gu Qing's gaze, Chen Ming had a feeling he couldn't quite describe, so he could only say—

"But... but I didn't agree..."

Then he saw Xiao Guqing's face froze slightly, and then slowly revealed a very disappointed expression, which made him feel that something was wrong.

Gu Qing lowered his head, his earlier excitement gone, and said—

"I see... I understand..."

She bit her lower lip, looking somewhat aggrieved, and clutched her skirt, just as timidly as she had been when Aunt Bai had scolded her earlier.

This touched Chen Ming's heart, and he couldn't help but reflect on whether he had done something wrong.

Gu Qing murmured—

"I'm so useless. I couldn't help Mr. Chen Ming at all and disappointed him..."

"How could this be!"

Chen Ming, of course, disagreed with this statement. He quickly half-squatted down, looked Gu Qing in the eye, and said—

"I came to find Gu Qing because Gu Qing is very, very important to me. Just being by my side is the greatest help I can receive."

And to be fair, Gu Qing is the jewel of a prominent family, while he, a poor boy, is truly of no help to her. He's only ever helped her family once; in terms of work ability, Gu Qing is far superior to him.

To say that such a good wife is useless is truly going too far.
