After Giving Birth, All My Beast Ex-Husbands Suddenly Want Me Back-Chapter 137: Canceled or not?

Ming spoke directly, without any preamble.

"I believe you’ve already guessed who I am."

"Yes," Nina replied calmly. "May I ask why you came to see me?"

Ming hesitated briefly. A trace of apology appeared on his face.

"I... have come to cancel the engagement," he said. "I’m very sorry. It was our side that failed to keep our promise. If you want compensation, you may ask for anything. As long as it’s within my ability, I will do my best to fulfill it."

This was the first time in his life that he had broken a promise, and the guilt weighed heavily on him.

When Nina heard that he had come to dissolve the engagement, she wasn’t particularly surprised.

"Alright," she said after a moment. "I agree to cancel the engagement. As for compensation... there’s no need."

After all, Mino had already helped her quite a lot before.

"You don’t want compensation?" Ming looked surprised. "And you’re not even going to ask why?"

"No," Nina said simply. "Whatever the reason is, I agree to the cancellation."

Hearing her answer, Ming felt even more ashamed.

He hadn’t expected Princess Nina to be such a reasonable and understanding female.

Ah... it’s that foolish boy’s loss.

Just then, Mino arrived and happened to overhear their conversation.

The moment he saw the female standing opposite Ming—his beloved Nina—his mind exploded as if struck by lightning.

His father was canceling the engagement with Princess Nina.

And the female standing before his father... was Nina.

Which meant... Nina was Princess Nina.

The very fiancée he had once run away from.

Mino’s face turned deathly pale.

How could this be?

Nina... is Princess Nina?

The very fiancée he had rejected.

He remembered what he had once said about her—that she was ugly, that she was a vicious and malicious female... and even worse things.

Heavens...

Just strike him down with lightning already!

How could he have said those things about Nina?

Tears almost welled up in his eyes.

What should he do now? How could he ever face her again?

Mino felt so foolish he could almost cry.

And when he heard Nina calmly agree to cancel the engagement, it felt like another devastating blow crashing down on him.

Without thinking, he rushed forward.

With a loud thump, he dropped to his knees in front of Nina.

"Nina, I was wrong!" he pleaded. "Please don’t cancel the engagement!"

Ming stared at his suddenly appearing son in stunned disbelief.

Why is this brat here? And what on earth is he doing?

Nina herself was also taken aback.

Mino had returned?

Had he heard everything just now?

Then... should the engagement still be canceled or not?

For a moment, Nina didn’t know how to respond.

Seeing her silence, Mino panicked, thinking she still intended to end the engagement.

He hurriedly turned to Ming.

"Father, take back what you just said! Cancel what engagement? I don’t agree!"

Ming frowned.

This foolish brat... who was the one insisting on canceling the engagement before?

Ming finally understood. The Princess Nina standing before them must be the very female Mino cherished in his heart—only Mino had never known her true identity.

Speechless, Ming said dryly, "So... the engagement isn’t being canceled anymore?"

Mino shook his head vigorously. "No! I won’t cancel it—even if you beat me to death!"

How could he possibly break off the engagement with Nina? People begged for chances like this—he certainly wouldn’t give it up.

Nina watched the exchange, confused.

So... was the engagement canceled or not?

Ming cleared his throat awkwardly. "Well... perhaps we shouldn’t cancel it after all. Just pretend I never said anything earlier."

Really—his first time breaking a promise in his entire life, and now he had already gone back on his word. The reputation of their entire Spirit-Cat clan was about to be ruined.

Ming shot Mino a glare.

This is all your fault, you useless brat. If you hadn’t run away from the engagement in the first place, none of this would have happened.

He had nearly run away from his own future mate.

Mino gently tugged at the hem of Nina’s clothing, looking utterly pitiful.

"Nina... please don’t cancel the engagement."

If it were truly canceled, he felt like he might cry himself to death.

At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to slap himself several times.

Why did I ever run away from the engagement? If I hadn’t, I would already be Nina’s mate now.

So he had been one of those males who abandoned Nina.

What a bastard I am.

Looking at him, Nina asked quietly, "Now that you know my identity... don’t you dislike me? Aren’t you angry that I kept it from you?"

Mino immediately shook his head.

"Of course not! It was all my fault. I believed the rumors without question. I ran away from the engagement without even verifying anything. I was foolish—and I even said those things about you."

His eyes were filled with guilt.

"I’m sorry, Nina. I shouldn’t have believed those rumors, shouldn’t have run away, and shouldn’t have spoken about you like that. Nina... can you forgive me this once?"

If he had only tried to understand her back then... if he hadn’t fled the engagement...

Then Nina wouldn’t have had to survive alone in the harsh wilderness as a pregnant female, enduring so much hardship.

All of it was his fault.

How could he possibly be angry with her? If he hadn’t said those things—if he hadn’t told her he despised her—she wouldn’t have been too afraid to reveal her identity to him.

Hearing this, Ming grew even more annoyed.

So this brat had not only run away from the engagement—he had also spoken badly of her and said he hated her.

No wonder Princess Nina had refused to acknowledge him.

Serves him right.

Still, Ming couldn’t help feeling a little nervous too. He was worried Nina might refuse to forgive Mino.

Nina’s emotions were complicated. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Mino, stand up. I’m not angry with you."

Although he had misunderstood her and said harsh things, the help and care he had shown her afterward had more than made up for it.

"Nina... then you won’t cancel the engagement?"

Mino didn’t dare rise. He feared that if he stood up, she might still decide to end it.

Seeing that he clearly wouldn’t get up unless she agreed, Nina sighed helplessly.

"Alright. Get up first."

For now, they simply wouldn’t cancel it. As for the future... they could think about it later.

Only then did Mino feel relieved. Though he felt he deserved to keep kneeling, he couldn’t disobey Nina’s words.

I’ll just kneel again later when I get back...

He stood up and carefully took his place beside her.

Ming let out a quiet breath of relief.

Good thing the engagement wasn’t canceled. Otherwise, with this foolish son of his, he might end up alone for the rest of his life.

Nina then led Mino and Ming back to where Odian and the others were waiting.

The cubs immediately jumped into Nina’s arms again, greeting Mino happily.

"Nina, you’ve got dragon cubs and a snake cub now?" Mino exclaimed in astonishment.

How were Nina’s children all from different species? It was unbelievably miraculous.

Then he noticed the imprint marks on Sal’s and Odian’s foreheads and couldn’t help feeling envious.

If he hadn’t run away from the engagement... he would probably have one too.

"Yes," Nina said. "The dragon cub is Linny, and the snake cub is Momo. The others haven’t hatched yet."

Ming was even more shocked.

He stared at Mino in disbelief. "All of these are Nina’s children?"

Since she was going to be his son’s future mate, he figured he could call her Nina too—makes things more familiar.

"Yes," Mino replied.

Ming’s eyes widened as he looked at the cubs in Nina’s arms.

One... two... three... four... five... six... seven.

Seven of them.

Wasn’t Princess Nina supposed to have no fertility at all?

Then where did these seven cubs come from?

No fertility? This was practically a divine female! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He glanced angrily at Mino.

Judging by the situation, his son clearly had no share in these cubs.

It’s all this fool’s fault. If he hadn’t run away from the engagement, Ming might already be holding little spirit-cat grandchildren.

Ming turned his gaze back to the cubs in Nina’s arms, his eyes suddenly filled with warmth.

"Nina... may I hold the cubs for a moment?"

Even if they weren’t spirit-cat cubs, they were still, in a way, his future grandchildren.
