Chapter 65: Twins

Yu Manman was taken aback, lowering her head to look at the obedient little black cat.Little brother?

Also a villain?

Just like her?

[Shang Yu, after his father’s death, was left traumatized by a kidnapping! He stayed with his brother Shang Yuan and sister-in-law, opening his heart again!

However, bandits broke in and ruthlessly killed his brother and sister-in-law’s family! Only Shang Yu managed to escape by chance! Since then, Shang Yu was sent to an orphanage! Enduring endless hardships, his personality grew increasingly eccentric, resorting to any means to achieve his goals!]

Yu Manman quietly looked at Lu Cheng and Shang Yuan.

Could the "system" be talking about godmother and that uncle?

Godmother is Mama’s good friend, Yu Manman doesn’t want her to come to any harm!

[Villain redemption mission released: Make Shang Yu realize his mistakes! Help Shang Yu return to the right path!]

[Mission difficulty: Eight stars!]

[Mission reward: One ’Huangliang Dream’ elixir! Consume this to foresee imminent disasters!]


Yu Manman slightly opened her mouth.

Wow! This is great! She wants it!

If she had this, perhaps she could help godmother?

Yu Manman lowered her head, meeting Shang Yu’s eyes.

Hmm, this task can’t be that hard, right?

After strolling around the yard, Lu Cheng brought them inside the house.

Yu Manman sat on the sofa, gently petting Shang Yu.

"Little brother, you smell so nice～"

The kitten was covered in floral and grassy scents, super pleasant～

The little black cat swayed its tail, shyly retracted its paws.

Then she quietly asked, "Little brother, why do you like picking godmother’s flowers?"

Shang Yu’s tail stiffened, remaining silent.

"Little brother, godmother cherishes her flowers. If we pick them carelessly, godmother will be sad!"

Shang Yu turned away, presenting Yu Manman with his back, his tail flicking sporadically.

He lowered his head, burying his paws beneath himself, which he called — paw-hiding.

"Little brother?" Yu Manman poked his back, "Are you angry?"

"Little brother~ Little brother~"

"Don’t be mad, I won’t ask anymore, okay?" Yu Manman coaxed softly.

Shang Yu quietly turned back, "I’m, I’m not angry..."

"I, I’m just afraid you’ll be angry..." He feared that Manman would think he’s a bad kid for picking flowers and wouldn’t want to play with him...

The little black cat hung his head, forlornly pawing at the sofa.

"Rip—"

Accidentally, he scratched a few marks into the sofa...

The little black cat’s back stiffened, awkwardly retracting his claws.

Oh no, oh no!

He glanced back stealthily, noticing everyone staring at him.

"Sorry, I, I didn’t mean to..." Shang Yu apologized guiltily.

[Ding! You got the tricky Shang Yu to apologize, he must have started realizing his mistakes! Redemption is near! Reward: One ’Huangliang Dream’ elixir!]

Yu Manman’s eyes lit up hearing the system’s voice!

The task is done!

If it wasn’t for the current setting, she would have burst into laughter!

Yu Manman guarded the little black cat, "Godmother, sorry! It was because I was playing with little brother that he accidentally scratched the sofa! He didn’t mean it!"

If not for her wanting to complete the task, perhaps the kitten wouldn’t have scratched the sofa by accident!

"As long as godmother forgives little brother, I’ll, I’ll help little brother pay for it!"

Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Do you have money?"

"I do..." Yu Manman counted on her fingers, "I have the New Year’s money Mama gave me!"

"But this sofa is expensive, you might not be able to afford it?" Lu Cheng continued.

"No problem! I can pay it back slowly!"

Yu Manman’s face was filled with determination, almost making Lu Cheng break character!

"No! It has nothing to do with Manman! It’s all my fault!" Shang Yu jumped off the sofa, "If there’s a price to pay, I’ll pay it!"

"You’ll pay for the sofa, but what about my flowers?" Lu Cheng deliberately put on a stern face.

"T-those flowers, I didn’t mean to pick them! They were bitten by bugs or pecked by birds... And some... I accidentally broke while catching bugs and scaring birds away from them..."

Shang Yu lowered his head, "Sorry, I didn’t mean it, I... I even de-weeded for those flowers..."

Lu Cheng suddenly understood, "So you were getting all dirty because you were weeding?"

She had thought this kid was just being mischievous.

After all, she never raised kids before, so she understood Shang Yu’s actions by comparing them to her own two rascals...

"Then why didn’t you explain yourself?"

Shang Yu awkwardly lowered his gaze to his paws, his whiskers twitching.

Lu Cheng chuckled, "Alright! I wasn’t actually mad at you! I was just teasing!"

"Besides, it’s just a sofa, haven’t my two boys scratched it enough?"

Though she was indeed a little heartbroken over the flowers.

But now that she knew the truth about Shang Yu’s flower picking, Lu Cheng decided not to mind anymore!

"But your claws really are a bit long, it’s time for a trim!" Lu Cheng chuckled, grabbing the kitten by the scruff and lifting him up.

Lu Cheng picked up the clippers and swiftly trimmed Shang Yu’s claws! Then, she thoroughly petted him!

Shang Yu drooped his head, letting Lu Cheng manipulate him, losing all will to resist.

"Alright! All done! Next time you scratch my sofa again, I’ll punish you by making you stay outside with ’Xiu’!"

’Xiu’ is the Doberman that Lu Cheng’s family keeps.

Originally, the dog wasn’t called ’Xiu’, it had a more formidable name, General, but who knew Lu Cheng kept talking about vacations (xiu jia) all the time, and the dog overheard.

So, the dog thought it was called ’Xiu’!

Whenever it heard ’Xiu’, it wagged its tail excitedly!

"Woof woof!" The Doberman, wandering outside, heard its owner calling, and immediately popped its head in, wagging its tail furiously!

Lu Cheng took a piece of dog treat from the table and tossed it out with a ’whoosh’!

"Go play!"

The Doberman jumped up to catch the treat and ran off with two joyful barks.

"Mom!! Awoo!"

Sounds of howling came from outside.

Lu Cheng frowned!

Her little rascals were back.

Two years ago, she gave birth to twins, a pair of playful little leopards!

One was called Gru, the other Ragnar.

Whenever she got annoyed, she sent her beast husband, the boys’ biological father Zelda, to take them out to play!

Gru and Ragnar transformed into little leopards, bouncing into the house! They leaped onto the sofa, sinking their teeth into the fluffy pillows!

Lu Cheng couldn’t bear to watch these mischievous scamps!

Compared to them, Shang Yu was already very well-behaved.

"These are my sons." Lu Cheng sighed.

Goddaughter is still better, sweet and adorable, easy to love.

"Wife, we’re back." Lu Cheng’s beast husband Zelda yawned. Since taking care of the excessively energetic little ones, he hasn’t had a moment’s peace!

Following them around every day, he was worn out!

Truly, whoever takes care of the kids breaks down!

"Woo!"

The little leopards bit into each side of the fluffy pillow, tearing it open, scattering cotton everywhere!

"Gru! Ragnar!"

She originally didn’t want to get mad since her good friend was visiting today!

But the kids were too naughty to handle!

Furious, Lu Cheng hoisted a leopard in each hand, locking the troublesome duo in a cage!

Yes, she even prepared a cage specifically for confining the troublemakers, so they could reflect on their mistakes!
