Chapter 21: Chapter 21 This time when I return, I will divorce you

"So, you want to sleep on the sofa?" Que Zelian asked.

"Is that okay?" Xiao Jinsheng looked up at him. "I’m scared to sleep alone in the tent."

"Then sleep inside." Que Zelian shifted to make room.

The sofa had enough space for one person, but for two, it would be cramped.

However, Xiao Jinsheng’s goal wasn’t the sofa. Seeing Que Zelian relent, she kicked off her shoes and flipped herself onto the inner side of the sofa.

Que Zelian turned his head and saw her settled in, but he didn’t lie down next to her.

"Aren’t you tired?" Xiao Jinsheng lay on the sofa, but her gaze lingered on his face.

Noticing Que Zelian’s face flushing red again, the corners of her lips curved upward. She gently tugged at the corner of his smooth, thin sleepwear. "If you don’t lie down, I’m scared to sleep by myself."

"Really?" Que Zelian smiled faintly, asking in return.

Yet Xiao Jinsheng noticed that his embarrassment had reached his ears, which were now completely red. Her smile deepened. "Of course."

With that, she lowered her gaze and sighed softly. "Even though I have five Beast Husbands, I trust you the most."

"Hmm?" Que Zelian chuckled lightly but allowed himself to follow her gentle tug towards lying down beside her.

"Que Zelian, do you know what your current score is?" Xiao Jinsheng turned onto her side, resting her head against folded clothes as a pillow, her eyes fixed on his flawless profile.

"No, I haven’t paid attention to it," Que Zelian replied.

"I’ve said before, whoever reaches a hundred points, I’ll agree to divorce him."

"Among the five, your score is currently the highest—already at 66 points."

"I believe you’ll soon reach the full score."

"But..." Her voice choked as tears welled up. "Que Zelian, will you really divorce me?"
