"What about Lihua?" She came back faster than she had left. "What news?"

  Mingshen folded his arms. "But my Spicy is leaving. How can I disturb her now?"

  She narrowed her eyes. "Will you tell me or do you want me to start a fight right here?"

  Mingshen sparkled as if it was a day instead of night. "Oh like the time we had our passionate battle outside my lab when you tried to escape? That was such a good time~ I would love to have a spar with you again."

  She took a step forward and sneered. "You think you can win again? Maybe you are under the illusion that I am weak."

  He shook his head hard. "Of course not! I never considered my Spicy weak. She is just as strong and fiery as me~ That's why we are such a perfect match," he seemed to blush.

  Jia only felt creeped out. She took a deep breath in impatience. "Will you tell me or-"

  He raised his hands in defeat. "I will, I will. Instead of fighting, how about you kiss me on the cheek in exchange?" He grinned. Then he shyly said, "A kiss on the lips is welcomed too, you know~"

  "How about a punch on your handsome face?" Jia smirked. "I will render both your cheeks and lips useless."

  He beamed. "So you admit that I am handsome! I finally got a compliment from my Spicy~"

  Her mouth violently twitched. Mingshen conveniently filtered out the rest of her words in exchange for handsome.

  She growled. "Yang Mingsheeeeen…"

  The lid on the top of her head was close to bursting.

  He sighed. "Fine. I will tell you. We will continue our passionate conversation some other time. Then you can tell me in detail how handsome I am."

  Jia grimaced.

  This man is impossible.

  Mingshen cleared his throat. "Well, congratulations. Although it's not good news for me," he sneered. "No, it's terrible news for me."

  Jia cocked her brow in amusement. "What could be terrible news for a demon like Yang Mingshen?"

  "How should I tell you, Spicy? This world is doomed. Your sister…she is…"

  Jia narrowed her eyes. "She is what? She is fine, right?"

  He mocked. "She is too much fine. So much fine that she is carrying two babies in her belly."

  She blinked. "Two?"

  "Yes. Tadah! Your sister is expecting twins…" he murmured. "This world is about to end."

  Jia sharply gasped in joy. She covered her mouth in shock but happiness. After a long time, her eyes were shining with gleam and excitement.

  "Oh my gosh…twins? I am gonna be an aunt of twins?" Tears filled her eyes and a wide grin lifted her lips. "This is great news!!!"

  In a moment of uncontrollable bliss bursting from within her, she jumped into Mingshen's arms.

  "Twins! Twins! Oh God! You cannot imagine how this feels! I still cannot believe it. I will have two nephews or two nieces! This is so exciting!"

  Mingshen's tall and broad stature remained frozen in the dim light. He looked down and blinked for several moments. Everything that Jia said went in and out of his ears. The only thing - no - the only sensation he could feel was her soft body pressing against his. Her arms hugged him around his back in a tight squeeze. He felt her breasts touching his chest and even through the clothes, he felt a feverish heat coursing through his body that clouded his gaze in desire.

  At that negligible distance, he saw the flutter of her eyelashes and the tear in the corner of her eyes. A fruity scent emanated from her long and silky hair. Her white skin looked like delicate porcelain. Her breaths lightly flickered the fabric of his shirt. He noticed the half-exposed back of her neck that made him swallow hard. He felt an urge to dip his head and dig his teeth into her soft flesh.

  For the first time in his life, he felt his little brother getting hard. He flirted with and teased Jia all the time. But this was the first time that Jia jumped into his embrace on her own. This was the first time he felt her body up so close to him. Even a simple hug from her was enough to make his little brother go wild with desire.

  Jia suddenly realized what she did in a moment of stupidity.

  Shit!

  She stiffened and suddenly took a huge step behind, making distance between them. Feeling her warmth disappear made his gaze darken in annoyance and resentment.

  He wanted to hug her back. He was just about to wrap his own arms behind her when she pulled away. He had an itch to pull her back and kiss her senselessly for the crime she committed.

  Jia cleared her throat. She couldn't even get mad at him because it was her fault.

  "Sorry. It happened at the spur of the moment…"

  I dropped my guard. How can this happen?

  Mingshen gulped hard, trying to control his twitching fingers from grabbing her head. "I would have appreciated it if you had stayed longer like that, future wife."

  That earned him a deadly glare from Jia. "Stop dreaming. You are not even sleeping. As if I will marry a devil! I am a human. I want a human husband."

  He sneered. "I can become human all you want. No biggies."

  Ji didn't bother to argue. Instead, she focused on Lihua and her twin nephews or nieces. "Thanks for telling me. I am thrilled," she clenched her fists in impatience.

  Aiya I already cannot wait to see my cutie pies!!!

  But first…


  Her irises were filled with chill.

  We need to eliminate Jiang Zhen once and for all.

  She glanced at him. "You told me about Lihua, but won't you ask about Lu Bojing?"

  The desire that lit his eyes a few moments ago seemed to calm down.

  "Why should I? He is an assistant who defied my orders. Let him learn his lesson," he smiled. "There is something he needs to understand on his own."
