Teng hurriedly covered his ears as he looked at Lin Qiao with a pair of tearful eyes and said with a grievance, “I… I know about the energy in my blood. It won’t hurt Daddy…”
Lin Qiao glared at him as she let go of his ear and said, “So you also know your blood would put him into that state, don’t you?”
Teng nodded as he covered his ears, without daring to move. Lin Qiao was super strong, and she really did hurt him just now. He was just a little fragile baby after all.
Lin Qiao said to him coldly, “I didn’t discover any unusual energy inside his body. You were lying to me, weren’t you? Do you think that you can do anything you want since I can’t detect that so-called unusual energy?”
Teng trembled under her gaze and immediately surrendered. He buried his head in his arms as he shrank into a corner of the couch and raised his little b.u.t.t while yelling, “I was trying to help you guys. Your bodies aren’t the same as before. Sleeping with each other can help you both regain your powers quickly, and also break into a new level. The energy from that underground creature is indeed lingering in Daddy’s body. He might lose control again.”
In the kitchen, Wu Chengyue paused briefly as he gave a glance to the living room. He didn’t move his body though.
Meanwhile, Teng continued, “Besides, I was also trying to bring you two closer to each other! Mama, you have started to care about Daddy already. Why are you still trying to avoid him?”
Lin Qiao clenched her teeth as she tried to keep her veins from bulging on her forehead. She glared at the boy and said through clenched teeth, “We can solve those problems without your help. You were causing trouble! You are not allowed to do anything like that again!”
Teng hurriedly sat up as he folded his little arms before his chest and said to Lin Qiao angrily, “I was trying to help! How can you be so ungrateful! Would I ever hurt you guys? Mama, you have no idea that Daddy’s body has changed like yours when he had s.e.x with you in the lake for the first time. The zombie virus can’t hurt him anymore. It will, at most, bring him some temporary effect. Also, you’re still in recovery. You need Daddy’s help. I did what I did for your good!”
After saying that, he glared back at Lin Qiao with anger, feeling a little aggrieved.
Hearing their voices grew louder and louder, Wu Yueling looked at Teng and Lin Qiao with concern. As Teng angrily argued with Lin Qiao, she quietly moved to his side and dragged his cloth.
Arguing with adults was not right.
Lin Qiao took a deep breath. The boy actually felt he was right!
“Even if you did it for my good or his, you should not do it without telling us. Even if your judgment is right, you still need our permission to do something like that. Have you heard of a word called ‘accident’? Also, should you not respect our own wills?”
He did it because he believed it was right. But, it might not be right for the others. He thought he knew everything and he could do anything, but that was not right. When he wanted to help someone, the first thing he needed to do was ask that person if he or she needed help or not, not take an action without that person’s permission. The boy was arbitrary. What if he stayed that way when he grew up? In that case, he would become a real troublemaker!
That could not happen!
Hearing what Lin Qiao said, Teng didn’t know how to respond to her. He glared at her with red eyes and pressed his lips into a line, his cheeks even bulging with anger.
Wu Yueling couldn’t help but poke his cheek with a finger.
“Alright, alright! Next time, talk to us before you take an action or when you want to do something. You did it without telling us, which made us worry. After all, we didn’t know what was going on.” Wu Chengyue walked out and smilingly held the boy in his arms, then sat down and put the boy on his knees.
He took her side! He had won the girl’s heart, so he forgot about his son!
Hearing this, Teng stared at Wu Chengyue angrily.
Wu Chengyue poked his face like how Wu Yueling just did it and then said, “Alright, don’t be angry! Look at you. Your face looks like a globefish.”
Teng snorted and turned his face away, showing his father the back of his head.
Hearing Wu Chengyue say that the boy looks like a globefish, Lin Qiao pictured a globefish get frightened and turn into a ball. As a result, she almost burst in laughter.
The boy was really angry. He was tiny, but short-tempered.
Lin Qiao rolled her eyes as she looked at Wu Chengyue and said, “Is the food ready?”
Wu Chengyue nodded at her, then said to Teng, “Alright, let’s eat!” Then, he brought the two kids to the dining table and sat down. While feeding Teng the porridge, he put food in Wu Yueling’s bowl from time to time as well. Wu Yueling had learned to use chopsticks, so Wu Chengyue didn’t need to worry about her.
Lin Qiao watched Wu Chengyue feed Teng while picking food for Wu Yueling. He was so busy that he didn’t even have time to eat.
Teng was mad at her. So, she guessed that the boy wouldn’t let her feed him. She thought for a moment, then decided not to join the three. She returned to her bedroom and picked up some files that she brought back from her office to read.
Time flew by as Lin Qiao focused on the work until Wu Chengyue opened her bedroom door and walked in. She looked at the time; it was about eleven pm.
“Where’s Teng?” Seeing Wu Chengyue come in alone, Lin Qiao asked without thinking.
Wu Chengyue walked over and took away the files from her hands, then said, “He’s sleeping, together with Ling Ling.”
“You let both of them sleep in your room? Aren’t you gonna sleep?” Lin Qiao was surprised.
Wu Chengyue put the files on the desk, then pulled over a chair and sat down really close to her as he said, “How about we talk?”
Lin Qiao looked at him and frowned slightly, staying silent.
“I can stay here if you don’t want to live in Sea City Base. Zou and Yunlong are dealing with most of the work in Sea City Base. It doesn’t really matter if I’m there or not,” said Wu Chengyue.
Lin Qiao pressed her lips together; she understood his meaning. He wanted to live with her, but he was not asking her to move to Sea City Base. Was he going to follow her will? Perhaps, he made that decision because he knew she could not leave All Beings Base for the time being.
“What do you think? I have taken a step back, so I can stay here tonight as my reward, right?” Wu Chengyue smilingly looked at her in the eyes, then couldn’t help but reach out to flip the hair by her cheek.
Lin Qiao slightly tilted her head to dodge his hand. She had been alone for long, so she was not used to intimate interactions like that.
“Whatever you want!” she responded blandly, “But, won’t the two of them curse you if you dropped your work in Sea City Base?”
Hearing her words, Wu Chengyue was stunned a little. He thought she would say no.
A few seconds later, he adjusted his expression and then looked at her deep in the eyes while smiling, “I don’t care. Their curses won’t come true anyway.”
