Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 149: Sincerity

Shen Ci’an walked in with a bouquet of flowers, and a fragrance instantly filled the kitchen.

Seeing the bouquet in his hands, Su Muyao’s eyes lit up. She loved flowers and felt that just looking at them could lift her mood.

In the previous world after the apocalypse, the air environment changed, making it hard to cultivate flowers. Many decorative flowers were fake, lacking the natural beauty and scent of real flowers.

Shen Ci’an constantly observed Su Muyao’s expression. He smiled teasingly and said, "It seems Wife likes them."

Looking at the different flowers in the bouquet, including lavender, jasmine, and camellia, Su Muyao’s expression subtly changed, not denying her fondness for them.

"Why did you give me these flowers?" Even if she liked them, Su Muyao wouldn’t easily accept them, suspecting he had ulterior motives.

Shen Ci’an replied, "It’s my fault for not returning during this period. I admit it. I want to pursue Wife again and have you accept me once more."

As he spoke, his eyes moved slightly, and even the tear mole seemed to quiver. His long, captivating eyes easily enchanted people’s hearts.

Especially when he lowered his head to focus on her, it seemed naturally affectionate.

Su Muyao was just about to say something.

Shen Ci’an seemed to know she was going to refuse. Before she could speak, he continued, "I know Wife won’t accept me now, but please give me a chance."

"I will sincerely pursue Wife, so that you can witness my earnestness."

He wouldn’t be a fool like Mei Qingchen, who annoyed her. He would pursue her in a way she liked.

"My disappearance during this time wasn’t without reason. It wasn’t for no cause."

Su Muyao looked at Shen Ci’an, feeling a bit unaccustomed to his seriousness. This wasn’t like him at all.

"Wife also knows the situation of the Shen Family. My mother has many beast husbands in the backyard, with many sons. In the past, my mother thought my looks were useful for family alliances, bringing benefits to the family, so she took care of me."

"But my mother’s favoritism led to dissatisfaction and jealousy among others, and family resources naturally couldn’t be balanced. Some people wished for my death."

Suddenly, Su Muyao recalled a memory—on the exile road, there seemed to be a wave of assassins targeting Shen Ci’an.

"Your family wanted to kill you?"

Shen Ci’an’s lips curved with a peculiar and self-deprecating smile, explaining, "It was my half-brother who wanted to kill me, as well as my mother’s first beast husband."

Su Muyao understood that in some families, rivalry and resource competition often led to fratricidal conflicts.

"But why would your mother’s first beast husband want to kill you? You’re a beast, and your family has a she-beast who would naturally inherit, it doesn’t concern you. You’re not a threat to their interests."

Shen Ci’an smiled with a devilish charm, touching his face, "Because of this face."

"I resemble my father a bit. After my mother met him, she favored him for a long time, causing hatred among the beast husbands in the backyard." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"So seeing this face that looks somewhat like my father’s naturally made them uncomfortable."

Listening to his words, Su Muyao felt a tremor. Wasn’t this hatred and murder brought about by backyard intrigues?

"So you dealt with them?"

Shen Ci’an smiled mischievously, "Naturally, I lured them out and killed them."

Su Muyao didn’t know whether to say she understood or not.

"Wife, don’t be afraid, rest assured. I only kill those who deserve to be killed, those who harm me. Although my face doesn’t look like a good person, it’s not my intention. Blood Clan Beastmen are naturally beautiful; it’s something that can’t be helped."

"If Wife is uneasy, I can scar my face."

Shen Ci’an didn’t actually like his face, which often brought trouble, but if this appearance could make Wife fond of him, then it was useful.

The greedy, malicious gazes drawn by his looks were something he loathed, but Wife’s gaze was clear and pure.

Su Muyao hurriedly said, "No, no need."

Su Muyao pondered and comforted him, "Don’t punish yourself for others’ mistakes."

"And there’s a saying, being merciful to your enemies is cruel to yourself. If someone wants to hurt you, it’s natural to kill them."

Upon hearing these words, Shen Ci’an suddenly laughed. When he truly laughed, it was captivatingly beautiful, like a night-blooming cereus—mystical and vibrant.

"These words, I genuinely like them. Wife is truly kind, so can you give me a chance? I don’t ask for your acceptance, just a chance to pursue you."

Su Muyao seemed to recall something and asked, "What about your previous fiancée?"

Shen Ci’an sneered disdainfully, "Ha, she’s a hypocritical and insidious woman, with a facade and an ulterior motive."

"She was also handpicked by my mother’s first beast husband, what good person could she be?"

"This way, the first beast husband earned a good reputation while using me as a pawn."

"He probably didn’t expect that the chosen family would be exiled and that I would marry Wife, escaping their control."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao seemed to understand, "So you deliberately appeared before me, intending for me to snatch you away." The previous self was captivated by this face, wanting it at first glance.

Shen Ci’an lowered his head, a glimmer in his long eyes, his voice deep and mellow, "Wife is not her; the past was my fault, but now, the one I want to pursue is you."

Su Muyao’s heartstrings trembled violently.

"You..."

"Wife, it’s okay if you deny it, as long as I know in my heart. Rest assured, I won’t say a word."

After confirming and observing for a few days, he came earnestly to pursue her. Although his face often gave a misleading impression, he was the most serious about feelings.

"Wife, this is my first time pursuing a she-beast, the first time giving flowers. If you don’t like them, I’ll pick other flowers."

The Space System couldn’t help but chime in, "Wow, Host, this is what true pursuit looks like."

"What’s Mei Qingchen compared to this? Shen Ci’an’s method is far superior. See, Shen Ci’an knows how to pursue a she-beast."

"This Shen Ci’an is really smart. Mind Reading Technique indeed makes a difference. He probably observed and figured out your preferences, using this way to pursue you. It doesn’t make people dislike him or uncomfortable, rather, it’s refreshing."

Su Muyao also understood, just as the system said; Shen Ci’an genuinely put thought into it. For someone sincere, she couldn’t utter indifferent words. She reached out and took the bouquet, "Where did you pick these flowers?"

They looked quite beautiful. Suddenly, she thought of using these flowers to decorate the shop, and placing vases with flowers on the kitchen windowsill would make cooking a delightful experience.

Shen Ci’an explained, "I saw them while chopping wood on the mountain just now, so I picked them back." In fact, he had specifically searched for them on the mountain.

"If Wife likes, I’ll pick more."

As he spoke, Shen Ci’an also took out a vase and placed it on the windowsill.

"I made this wooden vase by hand to put the flowers in."
