Chapter 942: Her Belly Grows Larger
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was not much work to do in Sea City Base lately, so Wu Chengyue didn’t mind going to explore the cave together with Lin Qiao.
They jumped straight into action. That night, Wu Chengyue told Xiao Licheng to get ready, then threw his unfinished work to Xiao Yunlong and Zou s.h.i.+hui. After that, he left for All Beings Base together with Wu Yueling once again.
‘So… which one is your base? ‘ Xiao Yunlong wanted to ask him so.
What Zou s.h.i.+hui wanted to say was— ‘Can you please marry her as soon as you can?’
Xiao Licheng had gotten used to it. He quietly rolled his eyes, then followed his boss back to All Beings Base. He was also aware that what they were about to do was very important based on the report from All Beings Base. Those underground creatures were much more horrible than those rats.
“What on earth are they? They can’t be burned or frozen to death, and their skin is even stronger than turtle sh.e.l.ls! Can they even be killed?” Sitting in the front seat, he couldn’t help but turn to the backseat and ask curiously.
Wu Chengyue was sitting on one side of the backseat, with Wu Yueling by his side. He put his right elbow on the window frame, then rested his face on his palm. Hearing the question, he turned and responded, “We don’t know yet, so we’re going to find out now.”
Xiao Licheng frowned slightly and said, “They’re spreading quickly, and they only come out at night. Will the sunlight kill them? Otherwise, why don’t they come out during the daytime?”
“I don’t know if the sunlight will kill them, but it’ll certainly affect them in some way. It doesn’t seem easy to make them come out into the sunlight though,” Wu Chengyue glanced up while talking.
Xiao Licheng didn’t respond. But soon, he asked another question, “Boss, why do you always summon Xie Dong lately? What have you guys been planning? Even I don’t know about that.”
Ever since Wu Chengyue sent him to invite Xie Dong to his house, the latter often showed up in that house secretly daily.
Xiao Licheng was very curious about the reason behind that, as he thought he knew everything about his boss. Was his boss making a progress with the zombie lady from All Beings Base?
“Why? Are you curious?” Wu Chengyue said with a faint smile.
He knew what Xiao Licheng was thinking, but at the moment, the zombie lady’s condition should be kept as secret as possible.
Xiao Licheng glanced outside the window, then turned back and said, “Are you making some kind of progress with her? You haven’t been paying attention to All Beings Base lately, but Xie Dong comes to your place all the time. Anyone who noticed that would think so, right?”
Wu Chengyue cast another glance at the car roof, then looked at him and said, “If I remember what happened when I lost control of myself, I might be making some real progress.”
The zombie lady’s att.i.tude toward him changed obviously after that, but he couldn’t remember what happened during that short span of time. Except for the zombie lady herself, no one else knew what happened. People noticed the change of her lip color and figured out what happened, but he didn’t remember it. He felt like something was missing.
The zombie lady had been trying to avoid talking about that, and he didn’t want to push her. He had no plan to push her further away from him. She stayed by his side during the past month, yet her heart and his were never close.
However, thinking about the baby, Wu Chengyue showed a big smile on his face.
Lin Qiao sat on the car roof and listened to the conversation in the car without making any reaction. When she thought about the past month, what popped up in her head was how the man prepared food intently in the kitchen. Those images kept replaying in her mind.
Soon, the car drove into All Beings Base. Yuan Tianxing and the others had been waiting before the entrance of the administration building. As Wu Chengyue got off the car, Yuan Tianxing and the others looked around, but didn’t see their Chief lady.
After watching Wu Chengyue carry Wu Yueling out of the car, Yuan Tianxing made eye-contact with Lin Feng, then couldn’t help but ask, “Our Chief…”
He didn’t ask the question straightforwardly, as he believed that Wu Chengyue would understand his meaning once he mentioned his Chief.
Wu Chengyue carried Wu Yueling. The little girl had curled herself up and put her arms around his neck, burying her face in her father’s chest because too many strangers were surrounding her.
Wu Chengyue said to Yuan Tianxing and the others with a smile, “Isn’t she back?”
Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng looked at each other confusedly. At that moment, Xie Dong suddenly showed up and said to them expressionlessly, “Deputy Chief Yuan and Deputy Chief Lin, Chief wants you both in the conference room.”
Both Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng paused briefly with surprise. “Is she back?” Yuan Tianxing looked at Xie Dong and asked with confusion.
Xie Dong answered that question by nodding silently.
Seeing that, Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng quickly turned and guided Wu Chengyue toward the conference room.
Lin Qiao leaped off the car when it was still approaching the administration building. During the past month, Wu Chengyue had lost a slight amount of his energy, and Lin Qiao had regained a little of hers. The allowed the distance between them to grow larger. At first, it was no greater than twenty-eight meters; but currently, Lin Qiao was able to move to a hundred meters away from Wu Chengyue.
Lin Qiao’s belly had grown much larger than before like a balloon. She could not show up in front of the people in her base at the moment even if she wasn’t stuck with her invisibility.
At the moment, Lin Qiao was sitting in the middle of the conference room with a hand on her belly that looked like the belly of a seven-month pregnant human lady. She didn’t understand why the baby grew so quickly during the past month. She was growing super slow before. She thought the baby would come out in seven or eight months, but her belly grew into a bigger size during that one month she spent in Wu Chengyue’s place.
Her body was still flexible, but the weight on her belly could not be ignored. Currently, she was still able to leap down from a car roof, but didn’t dare to jump off from the top of a ten-story building anymore.
Viney had fallen asleep not long ago.
Was it Wu Chengyue’s energy that made her grow so fast? That was quite a huge difference! The baby grew strangely slow in the past eight or nine months while she was absorbing energy from Lin Qiao, but during the month that she was absorbing energy from Wu Chengyue, it grew surprisingly fast.
Lin Qiao was not very happy about that.
However, thinking that Viney would soon come out of her belly, Lin Qiao was happy again. No matter what happened, she only wanted the baby to come out safe and healthy.
She had a strange feeling every time she recalled the happy and expectant look that Wu Chengyue had on his face when he touched her belly. She wondered when they would stop being bound together. Would that situation last until Viney was born?
That possibility gave Lin Qiao a headache.
But thankfully, the distance between him and her could now extend to a hundred meters.
