Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“If your Chief got married to ours, our bases would merge into one. That doesn’t sound like a good deal for Sea City Base. We don’t have anything at present. Your Chief isn’t simply attracted to our Chief, is he?” Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yunlong straight in the eyes. Meanwhile, he paid attention fo the other Sea City Base people’s looks.

“Of course, our Chief is attracted to your Chief. He has no other purpose. Please don’t overthink,” Xiao Licheng responded with a smile.

“Why is he attracted to her now? Our Chief is from your base, isn’t she? Why didn’t your Chief propose to her earlier? Why now?” Lin Feng asked.

“Speaking of that, I think you might want to ask your Chief about what she has done to our Chief. She raped him, so she needs to be responsible for that!” Xiao Yunlong suddenly joined the conversation.

Lin Feng didn’t know what to say.

About that Lu Tianyu did to Wu Chengyue… She was killed because of that, and then Lin Qiao woke up in her body. It wasn’t Lin Qiao who raped Wu Chengyue. However, Lin Feng then realized that Lin Qiao was using Lu Tianyu’s identity, meaning that she needed to be responsible for what that woman had done.

“What? Am I wrong? What do you think? The entire Sea City Base knew about that. She took advantage of our Chief, didn’t she? Now, our Chief has proposed to your Chief. If they get married, our Chief will forget about the past. It’ll also make the story less awful, and make your Chief’s reputation better. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?” Xiao Licheng said with a grin.

“About that… That’ll depend on if our Chief will accept the proposal or not. She will if your Chief is capable enough to win her heart,” Lin Feng lost the argument and gave the conversation an end.

What could he possibly do? His sister’s soul was in an evil woman’s body.

Lin Qiao sighed. All he could do was to pray for Lin Qiao. He believed that Lin Qiao wouldn’t accept the proposal, but was also a little worried. After all, what the previous owner of her body did indeed provided Wu Chengyue a reasonable excuse.

‘Come on, Lin Qiao! Don’t become someone’s wife just like that!’

All Beings Base lost the argument, but Lin Qiao didn’t lose hers with Wu Chengyue.

“Don’t use the kid as an excuse. I won’t accept the proposal. The baby isn’t just a normal baby. Even if Viney wants to be with you, I won’t marry you. I will not chain myself in a man’s life,” she said in a bland tone as she looked at him coldly. Her eyes weren’t toned with any emotion, yet he felt that she was going further and further away from him.

“I won’t give up. I’ll wait. I’ll wait for you to say yes.” Wu Chengyue was a little surprised. He made no change of expression and kept looking at her eyes.

“Whatever! But please, do not get in the way with my work and life.” After saying that, Lin Qiao slightly dropped her eyelids and looked at Wu Yueling, who was having a confused face.

Wu Yueling heard what Lin Qiao said. At first, she was a little confused, but soon, she figured out her meaning. Her eyes instantly reddened, and her pink lips curved downward.

Lin Qiao didn’t know what to do with the little girl. But at that very moment, she couldn’t allow herself to hesitate. With no other choice, she lifted the girl and put her into Wu Chengyue’s arms.

“Good Ling Ling! When you grow a little older, you’ll have a better Mama to look after you,” she said.

Wu Yueling was put into Wu Chengyue’s arms. She turned around her upper body to look at Lin Qiao with tearful eyes, shaking her head quickly. She didn’t want a better Mama.

Lin Qiao didn’t look at her, but turned and walked out.

“It’s alright. We’ll take our time. Ling Ling, be patient! Daddy will marry her. Today is just a start. From now on, we can pursue her openly,” Wu Chengyue smilingly swayed little girl.

Wu Yueling turned back and looked at her father with a sad face. Her large eyes were filled with tears; a drop was hanging on each corner of her eyes, almost falling off.

Wu Chengyue gently patted her on the back while talking to her smilingly, “Trust Daddy! When did Daddy ever lie to you? We need time. We don’t want to be too rushed. What if we scared her away?”

Wu Yueling looked at him with doubt. A few seconds later, she suddenly put her head on his shoulder and buried her face in his neck.

Lin Qiao left the room. However, she didn’t return to the living room, but said to Duan Juan, who was not far away from the door, “Go, tell Lin Feng to look after our guests. I’m going back to my place.”

Duan Juan looked at her with curiosity. She wanted to know what answer had Lin Qiao given Wu Chengyue.

Lin Qiao glanced at her, then turned and left, leaving a few words, “Don’t worry! How can I possibly marry someone so easily?”

She disappeared before her voice faded.

Duan Juan sighed with relief, then turned and glanced at the room where Lin Qiao came out from, before heading toward the living room.

Once Lin Qiao returned to the hotel, Qiu Lili and Yun Meng immediately came to her, saying, “Oh, oh, I’ve heard about it! Wu Chengyue brought a group of people here. It turns out that he’s here to propose to you! What happened? Did you accept it?”

Lin Qiao looked at them bewilderedly, “Why would I accept it? So ridiculous!”

“Eh, you rejected him?” Qiu Lili looked at her regretfully and said, “Why? He is the big Chief of Sea City Base, the strongest person in his base. Which part of him is not good enough for you?”

Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and replied, “Is it about if he’s good enough for me or not? I don’t even like him. How can I possibly marry a man that I have no feelings for?”

“You can grow feelings,” Yun Meng said blandly, “Wu Chengyue is handsome, and he has a nice body. He is a little sly though. But apart from that, he’s not bad, is he? His daughter likes you too, right?”

Qiu Lili nodded in agreement.

“Wait. Let’s not talk about if we have feelings for each other first. At the very least, I need to figure out why he suddenly came here to propose to me, right? And he made it so… obvious. Did he do that on purpose so the others would all know? Or, does he want something from us? He knows that I’m a zombie. If he got married to me and then my true nature was exposed, he’d get no good result. But, why did he still propose to me?” Lin Qiao put a hand on his chin and said while thinking.

“Are you suspecting that he has some other purpose?” Yun Meng narrowed his eyes and said.

“He definitely has a purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do it so suddenly,” Lin Qiao nodded and said

“That sounds reasonable,” Qiu Lili spent a while thinking, then understood Lin Qiao’s meaning.
