Lin Qiao looked around confusedly as she had sensed Wu Chengyue’s vibe from the living room just now. How come he was gone once she came in?

However, in the very next second, as she abruptly turned back, something blocked her eyesight and then she felt a warmth on her lips. Then, an arm was put around her waist and brought her to the man.

The moment she sensed the warmth from her lips, she automatically grabbed the man’s face and pressed him backward, then tilted her head and complained, “Can’t you restrain yourself in front of the children?”

How thick-skinned was the man! How could he do something like that to her in front of the children? Besides, did she ever allow him to do that?

The two children sitting on the couch looked at her calmly, “We didn’t see anything, em,” said Teng. The boy then gave Wu Yueling a glance, who squinted at him and then dropped her head to continue drawing.

Wu Chengyue held Lin Qiao’s waist as he grinned at her and said, “See, let’s pretend they aren’t here.”

Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say.

Teng raised an arm and pointed at Wu Chengyue with his short and chubby finger as he said, “Pretending that we are not here is not appropriate, is it? If we are really not here, you would have pressed Mom onto the bed!”

While pushing away Wu Chengyue, who suddenly came so close to her, Lin Qiao said to her son, “Teng, what are you talking about? Kids should mind their language!”

After being pushed away, Wu Chengyue didn’t try again to approach her. He let go of her and walked to the couch before taking a seat. Then, he looked at her and said, “Why don’t you come to Sea City with me? I’ll probably have tons of works to do back there. I won’t have time to come here for a while.”

Lin Qiao gave him a glance and said, “You don’t need me to do the small things like inspecting the shelter. I need to find a cure for Yuan Tianxing. Lin Feng will go to Sea City. I’m busy too. Do you think you’re the only busy one?”

She was a base leader too. As same as him, she had loads of work to do for her base. Apart from the other work in the base, her zombie army also needed to be strengthened and enlarged.

After saying that, she walked into her bedroom and found some leisurewear, then went into the bathroom for a shower. After all, she had no time to take a shower during the past few days when she was traveling on the outside.

Wu Chengyue sat down next to Teng and heard the latter say to him, “It’s only been about two weeks. Do you miss her so much already?”

Being taunted by his very own son, Wu Chengyue looked at the boy with a smile and said, “Yeah, I missed her. I haven’t seen her in two weeks after all.”

Before he saw her, he didn’t feel that so clearly. However, since the moment he landed his eyes on her, he couldn’t turn those eyes away. He came near her and smelled her aroma, feeling so soothed.

Teng wasn’t expecting such a straightforward answer. He looked at his father and said, “Dad, you’re so thick-skinned!”

Wu Yueling quietly came over and sat down beside Teng, looking at Wu Chengyue silently. She agreed with Teng by taking that action, then looked at Wu Chengyue with her big eyes filled with disdain.

‘Daddy is thick-skinned!’

Wu Chengyue looked at Teng, said, “What can I do? I like your Mama now. I couldn’t help wanting to be close to her when I saw her. I wanted to hold her…”

“Daddy is thick-skinned!” said a girl’s voice that was never heard before.

2Wu Chengyue and Teng both paused for a second, then looked around. Then, they fixed their eyes on Wu Yueling together.

“Ah! Ling Ling!” Teng popped his eyes and looked at Wu Yueling happily.

Wu Chengyue was also wearing a shocked look on his face. The smile on his face was gone as he gawked at Wu Yueling with both surprise and disbelief. He swiftly moved up to her and said, “Ling Ling, did you just talk?” He looked a little excited, which rarely happened.

Wu Yueling looked at him and narrowed her eyes in a smile.

“Ah, Ling Ling! Say something else! You really did talk just now, right?” Teng crawled onto Wu Yueling’s laps and said to her expectantly.

Wu Yueling shook her head to him, then kept smiling.

“Ling Ling, you can talk now?” Wu Chengyue was also looking at Wu Chengyue expectantly. But still, Wu Yueling shook her head.

“It was you who said that just now! I heard it!” said Teng.

Lin Qiao came out of the shower and saw the three of them gathered together. Wu Chengyue and Teng both seemed excited.

“What’s going on?”

Teng turned his upper body around and said to her, “Ling Ling said something just now to complain about Daddy. She really did talk.”

Hearing that, Lin Qiao looked at Wu Yueling delightedly and asked the girl, “Oh, can Ling Ling talk again? Can you say something now?” While speaking, she walked to the girl, then bent over and looked at her.

Earlier, Wu Yueling shook her head to Wu Chengyue and Teng, but facing Lin Qiao, she nodded and responded with, “Em.”

Teng immediately said to Wu Yueling with jealousy, “Ah, this is unfair! You nodded to Mama but ignored us!”

Wu Yueling responded to his complaint with only a smile.

2Lin Qiao reached out and scooped the boy up from Wu Yueling’s lap before putting him on the other couch, “Alright, don’t sit on your sister’s lap.” Then, she sat down beside the girl and said to her, “Come on, tell me, what did you say just now?”

Wu Yueling glanced at Wu Chengyue, then grinned and said with a small voice, “Daddy is thick-skinned.”

After saying those words, she gave Wu Chengyue another glance, then looked at Lin Qiao. Then, she dropped her head, not to look at Lin Qiao or Wu Chengyue.

The other three in the living room were joyful. Wu Chengyue wasn’t wearing a fake smile like he always did. At that very moment, happiness filled his eyes and his whole body. Lin Qiao looked at the little girl and said to her with laughter, “Ling Ling, you are amazing! Now you can communicate with everybody!”

Wu Chengyue rubbed Wu Yueling’s hair, then stood up and headed toward the kitchen. It was time to cook again.

Teng sniffed at Lin Qiao, then said, “You’ve taken a shower, but I can still sense many funny smells from you. Mama, what have you met on your journey?”

“Oh,” Lin Qiao said to him, “Lately, underground creatures have been showing up all over the country. They like to eat people, like zombies.”

On hearing that, Teng stopped short and twisted his little face, seemingly thinking about something. Noticing that look on his face, Lin Qiao asked him curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Teng adjusted his expression as he raised his head to look at his mother while answering her question, “Em, I’ve been having a strange feeling recently. Does that have something to do with those creatures?”

“Eh? You can feel them?” Lin Qiao looked down at him with surprise.
