Lin Qiao gave a small smile to the two kids.
Wu Chengyue looked at Xiao Yunlong, who was shaking with his back toward him, and asked the latter smilingly, “Are you done laughing yet?”
“Eh? Eh… Eh-hem, yeah, yeah!” Xiao Yunlong paused briefly, then quickly adjusted his expression. After that, he nodded and said with a serious look.
“So, can you please tell me what is going on here?” Wu Chengyue asked with a smiling face. While speaking, he sneakily gave Lin Qiao a sideways glance.
“Oh, you suddenly left for All Beings Base last night. We thought that something bad was happening. Later on, we heard that those creatures showed up over there, so we went over to take a look,” said Xiao Yunlong.
Duan Juan brought Teng to Lin Qiao and put him in her arms.
“You need to watch your mouth!” Lin Qiao took Teng over and gave him a glare, then turned to look at Duan Juan.
Duan Juan glanced at Xiao Yunlong, then said with a weird look on her face, “Eh-hem, Chief Xiao told us that you’ve agreed to let Chief Wu bring Teng to Sea City Base. But, we didn’t hear you talk about that earlier, so we didn’t let him take Teng away last night. Then… this morning… he stole the baby from us before dawn when we were still in sleep!”
Xiao Yunlong raised his head to look at the sky.
Lin Qiao gave him a glance, then looked at Duan Juan and said blandly, “So you let him bring my son here?”
Deputy Chief shook her head and said, “No. We informed Deputy Chief Yuan and Deputy Chief Lin, asking them about what to do. Deputy Chief Lin decided to let you deal with it, since you are already here and Chief Xiao has already brought the boy out of our base.”
Lin Qiao glanced at Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong, then at Wu Chengyue. “Is there anything going on between you and Lin Feng?” she asked him, “Also, when did I agree to let you bring the kid here?”
Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong were brought to Sea City Base too, meaning that Lin Feng must have known about Wu Chengyue’s plan and had been helping the other!
The smile on Wu Chengyue’s face froze for a moment. After that, he responded with confusion, “No. Why?” He did mention that to Lin Feng earlier, but never achieved an agreement with the latter. He had no idea why Lin Feng helped him. Then, he turned to Xiao Yunlong and said, “Also, when did I say that she agreed? You did this yourself. Don’t drag me into trouble, okay?”
Hearing that, Xiao Yunlong immediately grew unhappy. Whom he did all that for?
“What? You’ve brought the lady to your own place and slept… eh, I mean, you two spent a night together. I brought your son to you, yet you betrayed me instead of thanking me! How dare you!”
At that point, Teng started talking in Lin Qiao’s arms. “Mama, since we’re already here, let’s throw the party here. Daddy can cook for us!”
Lin Qiao stayed silent. Great, even Viney was taking Wu Chengyue’s side! What could she possibly say?
In Lin Qiao’s head, her son would be called Viney for a very long time.
“You don’t have the teeth to eat his food! Why are you helping him?” Lin Qiao gave her son a glare, then glared at both Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong.
Wu Chengyue was wearing a thick-skinned smile without turning away his eyes. Meanwhile, Xiao Yunlong kept looking at the sky and didn’t dare to make eye contact with Lin Qiao.
“Get in. Teng is right. You are here already. Staying a couple of days longer won’t hurt. Besides, although the crisis in All Beings Base has been dealt with, we can’t guarantee that those creatures wouldn’t come out again, right?” Wu Chengyue carried Ling Ling and slightly turned his body, looking at Lin Qiao as he said with a smile.
Teng’s attitude made him very delighted. The zombie lady looked very unhappy about it, but he knew that she would respect the kid’s decision. It meant that Teng’s one-month-old party would be thrown at Sea City Base.
Lin Qiao snorted silently without saying no. Holding Teng in her arms, she turned and walked back into the house. Duan Juan and Shen Yujen followed behind her, holding the other two kids.
Seeing that, Xiao Yunlong sighed with relief and then walked in excitedly.
In Wu Chengyue’s living room, people recalled what Teng said earlier, so they looked at Wu Chengyue and Lin Qiao again with meaningful expressions. Lin Qiao detected the looks in their eyes and also sensed some of their thoughts. So, she pulled a long face and abruptly thrust Teng into Duan Juan’s arms.
The boy was such a troublemaker! Thankfully, all the people on the scene were friends. What if a stranger heard it too? Not to mention the contents of the boy’s speech, a talking baby who was only a month old could be terrifying already! The boy should really learn when to talk and when to stay silent!
“I’ve told you not to speak when there’re a lot of people around you. Have you forgotten about that again?” Lin Qiao gave Teng a glare.
The latter turned his head away from her while arguing, “But, there weren’t a lot of people around me.”
“Were you trying to scare your father’s guards to death? Didn’t you see the look on their faces just now? They were looking at you as if you’re a monster. Are you aware of that?”
Wu Chengyue had two guards in his yard. Earlier on when they heard the baby talking, they laughed at first but then started to stare at him in shock.
While coming back into the house, Lin Qiao heard Xiao Licheng bringing those two guards away to make them sign confidential agreements. If Teng’s secret leaked out, some people might want to capture him and study him in a lab.
Teng glanced at Lin Qiao and then abruptly yelled at Wu Chengyue, “Daddy! Do something! She always bullies her son!”
Wu Chengyue stayed silent. What did it have to do with him?
Sea City Base people watched the mother and son talking to each other with surprise while the people from All Beings Base ignored it. They had gotten used to that long ago.
After coming in, Xiao Licheng moved to the side of Shen Yujen, who was standing in a corner. Then, he poked her with an elbow and whispered, “Teng is so brave that he actually has the guts to talk to your Chief like that.”
Shen Yujen responded to him with a glance.
Xiao Yunlong first looked at Teng with excitement, then turned to Wu Chengyue and asked, “How did you guys make a son like this? Tell me about it, I want one too! I’ll ask Yue to give me a son like this.”
Lin Qiao gave him a cold glance but stayed silent. Meanwhile, Wu Chengyue looked at him with a meaningful smile and replied, “Let’s not talk about how we made Teng yet. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that Yue is willing to marry you. Isn’t it too soon to talk about you two having a baby? First, you need to marry her.”
“You guys aren’t married either, are you?” Xiao Yunlong pointed at the two of them and said.
“What happened between us was an accident!” said Wu Chengyue.
The same kind of accident couldn’t happen to anyone. Besides, Teng made himself the son of Wu Chengyue. The latter had no idea if he could make the zombie lady pregnant or not without Viney’s help!
While thinking about that, Wu Chengyue abruptly gave a glance at Lin Qiao’s lower belly. He seemed to have worked pretty hard last night. Would there be another baby?
