Summary
"Would you like me to lock the door, Master Jinshi?" That title, rather than the more formal your highness, is one of her few concessions to the strange dance of politics and position they've been engaged in since they met—she an alpha, he a prince. It's a bigger question wrapped up in the neat packaging of simple words. What Maomao is really asking is if he wants her to be Maomao the dutiful court servant right now, or if he needs her to be Maomao the Alpha.
She's refused to claim him, even though he's asked, but she never actually refuses him comfort.
"Please," he says politely. He could order her to do it, he knows; with that door unlocked, they're still technically in public, and if Jinshi is an omega, he's also a prince.
But he doesn't really want to be her prince, right now. He doesn't want to give Maomao orders. He never has.
Or, Jinshi finally gets what he wants.
