Chapter 55: The Kissing Monster

Shu Lin noticed that Shao Shiyan’s reaction to his sister seemed a bit excessive, a little too enthusiastic.

He also seemed a little nervous.

Besides that, he would blush inexplicably sometimes.

Also, he was right there, was Shao Shiyan selectively blind? Couldn’t he see this big, living person?

Hmm?

Something’s not right, something’s definitely not right.

Just as he pushed open the bedroom door with his suspicions, he ran straight into Shao Chengxi, who was about to go downstairs.

Immediately after, Shu Lin was pinned against the door and kissed thoroughly.

“Mmm… okay… Father and them, they’re all… waiting for you in the study…”

If he kept kissing like this, his lips would really be rubbed raw.

In the future, he should give Shao Chengxi a nickname, call him the Kissing Monster.

The discussion in the study didn’t last long, and they came out before dinner.

Shu Lingxiao had dinner at the Shao Residence.

Seeing Shu Lin’s lack of appetite, she worried, “Little Lin, you’re eating so little, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Her question made all four members of the Shao family look at Shu Lin.

Shu Lin blushed, chuckled awkwardly, and said honestly, “Hehe, Sis, I’m fine, I just ate a bit too much at noon, I’m full.”

This statement caused everyone at the table to laugh.

Shao Tingrui looked at him with a smile, “Haha, still just a child.”

Shao Chengxi couldn’t resist pinching his earlobe, his eyes revealing affection, “How can you be so cute?”

Shu Lin slapped away his restless hand and glared at him secretly.

It was all his fault.

If he hadn’t been scared by his ox-like appetite, would he have overeaten?

After dinner, Shu Lingxiao didn’t stay long. When she got up to leave, Shao Shiyan said he would see her off.

Shu Lingxiao refused, “No need, I drove myself. Besides, it’s late, it’s not safe for an Omega to go out alone, just stay home and be good.”

After saying this, she greeted everyone present and turned to leave, with a free and elegant air.

Seeing his son rebuffed, Shao Bingheng suppressed the urge to smirk, pretending not to notice.

Love is a falling flower, and affection is a flowing stream.

It suited his intentions perfectly.

His second son was right, it’s not even certain if he can catch up with her, so what does it matter if he agrees?

Shao Tingrui looked at the three Shao men, father and sons, and said, “Bingheng, Shiyan, you two come to the study with me.”

Shao Tingrui wanted to have a good talk with Shao Bingheng about his three sons.

After Shao Shiyan entered the Group, Shao Yuanheng did not step down from his position as Vice Chairman of the Group.

Shao Tingrui could see Shao Bingheng’s intentions at a glance.

He wanted to give his third son ample time to grow.

But even if the eldest son was no longer suitable as an heir, it wasn’t right to keep him hanging on like this for the sake of the third son.

It had to be arranged properly.

And what was going on with Shao Shiyan and Shu Lingxiao?

He was old, but not blind, could he not see these things?

Shu Lingxiao was like a sharp sword, someone who would achieve great things and wouldn’t get entangled with the Shao family because of love or affection.

He had to persuade Shao Shiyan to give up this thought early.

The least worrying was Shao Chengxi.

This kid was lucky, had good judgment. He could even marry Shu Lin, this US-Class Omega. No one could compare.

Yes, the young couple were living quite lovingly.

Good, his path would be smoother in the future.

Only Shao Chengxi and Shu Lin were left in the living room.

Shao Chengxi put his arm around Shu Lin’s shoulder and whispered in his ear, “Baby, go back to the bedroom quickly, I can’t hold on anymore…”

Shu Lin’s ears turned red instantly.

After their passionate encounter, Shao Chengxi quickly fell asleep.

It was obvious he was really exhausted that day.

Shu Lin, in his arms, was still drowsy when he suddenly heard his phone make a notification sound.

His sleepiness was immediately interrupted. Afraid of waking the sleeping person next to him, he quickly reached for his phone and put it on silent.

The message was from Shu Lingxiao.

Shu Lin opened the message box.

[Little Lin, after considering it carefully, I feel that there are some things I still need to tell you.]

[I can see that Shao Chengxi treats you very well, and the Shao family elders are all nice people and very tolerant of you.]

[But, I still have to say some disappointing things.]

[Because if I don’t say these words, I will regret it.]

[Little Lin, in AO male-female relationships, there are many philosophical sayings about sex, the body, and marking, I wonder if you’ve heard of them?]

[I want to share a few sentences with you for mutual discussion.]

[Marking is two-way, it’s not just you possessing me, but also me possessing you.]

[Even without marking, we are still each other’s only one.]

[The body can be traded, but the soul remains independent; unless my soul falls in love with you, the marking is a shackle of freedom.]

[Little Lin, entering marriage at such a young age, you may not realize the problems you will face.]

[I’m sorry, I have to force you to grow up.]

[Little Lin, from now on, you need to think about a question: If Shao Chengxi wants to mark you, would you willingly be marked by him?]

[I can’t help you with the answer to this question, you have to find it yourself.]

Shu Lin stared at the phone screen, repeatedly reading the messages from Shu Lingxiao, his eyes filled with confusion and unease.

“The body can be traded, but the soul remains independent; unless my soul falls in love with you, the marking is a shackle of freedom.”

Turning his head to look at the Alpha sleeping soundly beside him, Shu Lin asked himself:

“The body has already been used for trade, am I going to give my soul to this Alpha as well?”

“In the end, can I fall in love with him, and can he fall in love with me?”

“But what is love?”

Shu Lin had no answer.

All night, he was in a state between sleep and wakefulness.

When he woke up again, a firm thought flashed through Shu Lin’s mind.

Before he figured things out, he couldn’t let Shao Chengxi mark him.

If he was marked by Shao Chengxi in a daze, what meaning would the answer have for him?

He was only nineteen years old, his life’s journey had just begun, he couldn’t not search for the answer.

As soon as it dawned, Shu Lin got into the same car as yesterday and accompanied Shao Chengxi to the Presidential Palace.

Today, Shao Chengxi’s condition was still good, and he persisted until lunchtime before coming to find Shu Lin.

Shu Lin had looked again in the morning at the news that had broken out yesterday accusing Shao Chengxi.

It was obvious that someone was fueling the flames behind the scenes, and the level of attention kept rising.

Shao Chengxi had lunch with him, enjoyed a moment of tenderness, and then got out of the car and left.

Having not slept well last night, as soon as he left, Shu Lin fell into a beautiful sleep.

When he woke up and opened his phone, he was stunned.

How could things have turned out like this while he was sleeping?
