Chapter 705: These Are Two Iron Plates

Bai Youwei was hugging Shen Mo’s arm, silent.

Shen Mo looked down at her, continuing to ask, “What did you talk about with him? Want him to change his mind and support you to be king?”

Bai Youwei kept her head down, not making a sound.

Shen Mo glanced at her hand and asked again, “Aren’t you going to keep playing the spoiled child?”

Bai Youwei finally lifted her head, her face full of frustration. “Is acting spoiled useful?”

Shen Mo chuckled, pushing his wheelchair swiftly out of the elevator, saying, “No use.”

Bai Youwei: “…”

Then why on earth should she even act spoiled!

…

It felt like Bai Youwei had hit a steel plate.

If Shen Mo wouldn’t budge, then all the groundwork she’d laid would be for nothing!

She slept that night with her back to him, huffing in anger. She even took all the quilts, ignoring him.

Shen Mo felt both helpless and slightly amused. He lay on his side next to her, gently moving her hair, asking, “Do you want so badly to be king?”

“Don’t you want to? If you don’t, then let me do it!” Bai Youwei retorted irritably.

Shen Mo was silent for a while, then kissed her ear, whispering, “Being king… could get you killed.”@@novelbin@@

“Tch, it’s not so easy to die,” Bai Youwei scoffed. “The campaign has four levels. Even if you lose one, you won’t immediately die. Can’t you just win it back in the next round?”

Shen Mo asked, “What if you lose the next round too?”

“How could I possibly lose two in a row?!” Bai Youwei raised her eyebrows. “I’ve got a rabbit, and a dollhouse!”

Shen Mo: “Electric shocks might not be available every round, and you can’t go into the dollhouse during the game.”

“Then I’ll go in before the game starts!” Bai Youwei protested.

“Before the game starts, how would you know if you’re going to lose?” Shen Mo continued. “If you could win, of course there’s no need to go in. Only when certain to lose would you need to resort to the dollhouse. With your personality, would you admit defeat?”

Bai Youwei, left speechless by his words, felt both angry and annoyed, turning to scratch him!

…Caught by Shen Mo’s hand.

“Can you guarantee a 100% win if you’re king?!” She gritted her teeth, struggling hard.

Shen Mo held her hands down, kissing her bit by bit, whispering,

“I can’t guarantee a 100% win, but… I can guarantee that you won’t die.”

Bai Youwei’s body stiffened.

She understood what he meant…

If a subject lost, they merely became commoners. Even if there was danger, as a king, one had the power to demote a subject to a commoner.

If a crisis occurred, Shen Mo… he might very well demote her!

“Behave,” Shen Mo kissed her. “I know that you want to win. As a subject in the battle, you can still win…”

Bai Youwei’s eyes gradually reddened as she continued to struggle, her lips pouting in infinite grievance. “I don’t… I want to be king… I want to be king…”

Shen Mo held her, cooing at her softly, and even placed her hand on his abs.

Bai Youwei scratched him hard, her voice tearful. “This isn’t a joke! I don’t want to feel your abs either! I just want to be king!”

Shen Mo was silent for a while, seemingly out of ideas, and heaved a sigh, “I’ll think about it…”

“Don’t try to fob me off!” Bai Youwei threatened him fiercely, “Even if you disagree, on the day of the battle, I definitely won’t surrender!”

A man and a woman on a bed, not talking about love, but discussing battles and surrender.

Shen Mo felt a bit of a headache, asking her, “Why do you insist on being king?”

Bai Youwei said, “Because I have a rabbit! I have a dollhouse! I have a higher chance of winning!”

“Aside from that?” Shen Mo looked at her confusedly, “Knowing the risk is so high, why do you insist on being king? Is there something you wish for that I can’t help you achieve?”

Hearing that, Bai Youwei’s gaze calmly settled and even seemed a bit cold…

“Why should my own wishes be fulfilled by someone else?”
