Oops! My Beast Mates Can Hear My Inner Voice

Fei Yan took Su Mo straight to her parents’ house in town, but when they arrived, the main gate was tightly locked.

Su Mo peeked through a crack in the gate. The inside was overgrown with weeds and showed no signs of anyone living there.

But she had asked around. This was the place her predecessor’s parents lived in town.

According to the Clan Leader, they should have moved here after she came of age and several fiancés were chosen for her.

Fei Yan went with her to ask the neighbors, but they all said they had never seen the family return.

Su Mo frowned, her heart filled with suspicion.

’My predecessor’s parents are really strange. They’ve vanished without a trace. It’s like they were running from the plague or something.’

’Are they just incredibly careless, or... was my predecessor not even their biological child? After all, who would just abandon a child who was seriously poisoned?!’

’But this plotline wasn’t in the original novel at all. Or did I just not notice it when I read it?’

Fei Yan frowned and said, "Should we try asking somewhere else?"

Su Mo shook her head. "Forget it. Let’s stop looking. We’ll just have to trouble the Clan Leader and the Clan Leader’s Wife about it later."

She was now certain that her predecessor’s parents were deliberately hiding.

As a transmigrator, Su Mo felt very little connection to them, so there was no need to force the issue.

Fei Yan frowned but said nothing, his mind replaying Su Mo’s thoughts from just a moment ago.

’My wife isn’t the Town Mayor couple’s biological daughter?’

Come to think of it, it wasn’t impossible.

Before the engagement, they hadn’t paid much attention to their wife or the Town Mayor couple. But after the engagement, their wife was kicked out to fend for herself.

After that, they never seemed to see her interact with the Town Mayor couple again.

Although it was true that Beastmen grew more distant from their families after coming of age, a situation like their wife’s was still quite rare.

After all that searching, Su Mo was actually a little tired.

Besides, it was almost lunchtime, so they found a restaurant and sat down.

Fei Yan ordered a few dishes and asked the owner for a pot of tea.

Su Mo looked up at the Bai Hua Pavilion across the street and asked with a frown, "Did Yue Ying really take this place over?"

Fei Yan nodded. "He did."

Su Mo frowned. ’The plot is getting more and more ridiculous. The heroine’s intelligence hub is now in the hands of a few villains?’

’But this is good too. With a place like this, at least we won’t be so passive in the future.’

After lunch, Su Mo dragged Fei Yan around for another stroll.

She inquired about a few shops for sale in the market, then settled on one on the spot.

Su Mo had been exchanging for currency in the system every day recently, and the money she obtained was all stored in the System Mall.

After signing the contract and paying the money, the shop belonged to her.

Once she had the key, Su Mo looked the shop over again.

Fei Yan asked doubtfully, "wife, what do you plan to do with this shop?"

"I’m going to sell things that Females like."

She had already done her research. The System Laboratory could analyze the components of shower gel and mass-produce it.

She would just need to improve it a little. Of course, besides that, she could also sell other things.

Little Nine had said that as long as sales were good, the System Laboratory’s upgrades would also be accelerated.

Now that the plot had deviated so ridiculously, even Su Mo found it hard to guess what would happen next, so strengthening herself had become especially important.

Only a fool wouldn’t take a shortcut when one was available.

Su Mo wasn’t in a hurry to go back. She and Fei Yan cleaned up the shop.

Then she drew some sketches, mainly for shelves to display the products.

After locking the door, she had Fei Yan take her to find someone to build them.

By the time they had taken care of that, it was already evening.

Fei Yan suggested they have dinner before leaving.

Su Mo agreed. After all, she’d been busy all afternoon and was indeed a bit hungry now.

They found a tavern with good business and ordered a few dishes.

The owner brought over a plate of peanuts and said enthusiastically, "Would you two like some wine?"

Su Mo glanced at the wine cabinet. "The osmanthus-flavored one. Two liang, please."

Fei Yan frowned. "wife, you’re not a good drinker. You shouldn’t have any."

Su Mo smiled, her eyes crinkling. "I just want a taste. You can have the rest."

Fei Yan was helpless. She was the classic case of someone who loved to drink but couldn’t handle it.

The wine and dishes arrived quickly.

Su Mo really didn’t plan to drink much. She only poured herself half a bowl, and she didn’t intend to finish even that.

The rich fragrance of osmanthus filled her nose, making Su Mo a little giddy.

She took a small sip, thinking that when the osmanthus flowers were in bloom, she could perhaps pick some to put in the laboratory and research a new product.

Their table was in a great spot. The evening glow filtered through the window lattice, gently blanketing her. Her slender, graceful figure seemed to be bathed in a soft halo of light, so beautiful that one couldn’t look away.

So when she picked up her bowl again, Fei Yan didn’t notice at all.

This moment belonged only to him and her, and he wished it could last longer, and longer...

Because of his moment of greed, by the time they left the tavern, Su Mo was drunk.

When Fei Yan carried her out, the sky outside was already pitch black.

Someone walked over. "Looking for a room, sir? It’s very cheap."

Fei Yan glanced down at the drunken person in his arms and said to the man, "Lead the way."

As he started walking, he caught a glimpse of a figure in a corner out of the corner of his eye.

But he didn’t hesitate for a moment.

Fei Yan carried Su Mo to an inn and had hot water brought up to help her wash up.

As he was wiping her face, she groggily opened her eyes and glanced at him.

Then, she reached out, hooked her arms around his neck, and gave a charming smile. "Fei Yan~"

In that instant, the fortress he had built around his heart crumbled.

He reached out to touch her flushed cheeks, red from the wine, and asked softly, "Does my wife like Fei Yan?"

Su Mo’s drunken, hazy eyes gazed at him as she slowly nodded. "I do..."

Fei Yan’s eyes suddenly darkened, and a wicked fire ignited in his heart.

He leaned in close to her, his voice bewitching. "How much? Why don’t you show me, Momo... hmm?"

Su Mo’s eyes curved into crescents. Still holding his neck, she tilted her head up slightly and kissed his lips.

Just as she was about to lie back down, he suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.

His kiss was more savage than ever before. Every time she tried to pull away, unable to bear it, it only made him more frantic.

It trailed down from the corner of her lips.

He desperately wanted to mark her body as his.

Her every whimper was like a catalyst, destroying his sanity.

’If I can’t be her main husband, being her first Beast Husband is good enough!’

He wanted to be her first Beast Husband!

He would be her first...

He so desperately wanted... her.

But.

The last shred of his reason pulled him back from the brink of losing control.

’I can’t...’

’She has already chosen a main husband. Doing this will only put her in a difficult position.’

He didn’t want to make things difficult for her.

His love shouldn’t become her burden.

’If she is the wind, it is enough for him to be a leaf stirred by its passing. For her to have brushed against his branch by chance is already a gift from fate.’

’He was too greedy...’

He shouldn’t have been so greedy.

Fei Yan closed his eyes slightly, clenching his fists tightly as he forced the presumptuous thoughts in his heart down, inch by inch, into the darkest corner. ’It doesn’t matter if I’m not the main husband. So what if I’m not the first? As long as I can stay by her side, that is already the best possible ending.’

He should be content...

Su Mo quickly fell into a deep sleep. Before her last wisp of consciousness faded completely, she seemed to feel a warm liquid slide across her neck.

Little Nine popped out recklessly, screaming, "Host, the first male lead to break the 100% mark has appeared! Fei Yan’s affection level has broken one hundred! Our laboratory is getting an upgrade!!!"

The only response was the sound of Su Mo’s even breathing...

Little Nine sighed helplessly. "Just how much did you drink to get this drunk?"

Fei Yan composed himself, straightened Su Mo’s clothes, then got up and opened the window.

He and Mo Xiao, who was downstairs, looked at each other from a distance, their eyes equally calm.

He knew Mo Xiao had arrived long ago and had watched him carry his wife upstairs.
