"Would I have gone crazy if you hadn't provoked me?" Shen Zhilie asked.

"Hmph!"

Ye Qianqian was not amused. "If you didn't cross the line, would I have provoked you?"

"What? When did I cross the line?"

Shen Zhilie's eyebrows rose as he reached over to touch her. "Spell it out for me."

Ye Qianqian tried to dodge his hand, but couldn't escape his claws. "You're still at it?"

"The seed has been stored for so long," Shen Zhilie leaned over, "It needs to be released all at once."

"Wake up! Young man!" Ye Qianqian exclaimed, "This is your older brother's house!"

Shen Zhilie chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Come on. Let's get up and bathe."

"Right away!"

…

Shen Manting's condition today was surprisingly good.

Shen Luo'an had already headed over to the laboratory and she sat alone in the living room, cutting paper.

When she heard the door open, Shen Manting looked up and saw Shen Zhilie walking out of the room.

He was in high spirits, and satisfaction was written all over his face.

Shen Manting couldn't help but smile when she saw his expression and she remarked, "You're really happy!"

"Yep!" Shen Zhilie sat down and looked at the paper in front of her. "What are you doing?"

"I was bored with nothing to do so, I decided to get to work. Where's Qianqian?" Shen Manting glanced at the room as she asked.

"She's inside. She doesn't want to come out," Shen Zhilie glossed over the question. "How have you been lately?"

"Well," the smile on Shen Manting's face ebbed off as she lowered her head to look at the paper cutting in her hands. "I seem to be able to communicate with Little Manting," she said softly.

When Shen Zhilie heard that reply, his expression turned serious.

"Actually, she doesn't harbor any bad intentions," Shen Manting said as she kept her eyes on the paper cutting. Slowly, she continued, "She wants to be with Shen Luo'an and live happily. The resistance she put up previously, her suicide attempts and her running away were all done solely because she wanted to force Shen Luo'an to compromise."

Moreover, the previous night, Little Manting had sneaked out and had pretended to be her.

Upon hearing Shen Luo'an words, she was no longer able to keep it up.

"You seem to be doing very well now," Shen Zhilie commented.

"Yeah," Shen Manting replied softly. "Little Manting is conscious too."

Shen Zhilie stiffened and looked at her, "What do you mean?"

"She's conscious at the moment, just like I am. But she's just watching."

"You've regained dominance?"

"Yeah."

She had actually not gained dominance, it was more appropriate to say that Little Manting had relinquished dominance on her own accord.

Shen Manting placed the scissors down and rubbed the ring on her ring finger. She then said, "At the end of the day, I've gotten married and given birth to a child. Regardless of my gripes in the past, I have to face reality now."

Therefore, Shen Manting had decided to accept Shen Luo'an.

There was no lack of mitigating factors on Little Manting's part, but more importantly, the adult Manting had come to this decision on her own.

Perhaps, without either of them realizing it, they had both slowly merged into one and were no longer two separate entities.

"Sister-in-law," Shen Zhilie called out, "the wedding date hasn't changed. It's still next month."

"Yeah," Shen Manting replied with a gentle smile, her face seemed to have a soft glow. "That will be a wedding worth looking forward to."

Shen Zhilie looked at her calmly despite the jumbled emotions he felt and simply replied, "Yeah."

Over the next few days, Shen Luo'an realized that Little Manting rarely made an appearance anymore.

Most of the time, it was adult Manting's personality he interacted with.

However, occasionally a young and girlish demeanor would emerge from the room instead, and it was reminiscent of Little Manting's behavior.

After staying for a few days, Shen Luo'an took Shen Manting back to the villa to visit their son and to discuss the wedding matters with the elders.
