Chapter 979: The Sights of Their Backs

Viney wasn’t happy to hear Qiu Lili call him ugly. He snorted scornfully, then said with his baby voice, “I don’t think you were prettier than I am when you were a baby!”
Hearing that, Qiu Lili instantly pouted. ‘You little thing! You just came to the world. How dare you argue with me!‘ she thought.
She slightly raised her chin and said, “I couldn’t see myself when I was a baby!”
“You’re right…” Viney said blandly, “I can’t see myself either… I’m tired. I’m going to have some sleep.”
His voice grew weaker, and so did his breath.
At that moment, Wu Chengyue asked Lin Qiao, “Are you alright?”
His voice was deep and filled with concern. He was feeling uncomfortable ever since he heard from Liu Jun about how painful birth-giving could be. He thought the labor would last over ten hours, but the baby was delivered so soon.
Just now, he heard her giving out a muffled scream in pain, and that even made his heart twitch.
The zombie lady didn’t scream out loud. It sounded as if something was stopping that scream from escaping her throat. But still, he heard her voice and felt her pain.
She was a zombie, and her pain-sensitive nerve should have died already. However, the birth gave her so much pain that she even moaned. That must be extremely painful!
Lin Qiao glanced at him with a complicated look in her eyes. She soon dropped her eyelids and let her eyelashes cover her eyes, then blandly nodded.
“I’ve been having a great self-healing capacity. I’m already fine,” she said.
At that point, Lu Tianyi came to her and said to her carefully with longing in his eyes, “Can I hold him?”
Lin Qiao generously handed him the kid. The young man stiffly took the baby over and couldn’t help but gave a happy grin. Seeing that, Lin Qiao smiled faintly.
Meanwhile, Lin Hao tidied the delivery room. Seeing that the group of people were still at the door, he said to them, “Alright, alright, bring the baby to the baby’s room.” Then, he turned to Lin Qiao and said, “You won’t stay in the hospital, will you? But still, you need to come to my clinic for a check-up before leaving.”
“I’ll bring the baby to the baby’s room,” Lu Tianyi said.
Wu Chengyue glanced at the baby that was held in Lu Tianyi’s arm with hesitation, then looked at Lin Qiao. At last, he gave Xiao Licheng an eye signal.
“I’m going with you,” Xiao Licheng said to Lu Tianyi as he understood Wu Chengyue’s meaning.
“Good. Since you and the baby are both safe and healthy, I’ll be heading back.” Liu Jun sighed with relief and then left. The others also left under Lin Qiao’s orders. Of course, she told them not to leak the baby’s identity.
Every one of those people understood why. None of them would tell anyone else about the baby.
As Lu Tianyi brought Viney away, Wu Yueling got anxious. She looked at Lu Tianyi’s back and patted her father’s should with her little hands.
Wu Chengyue knew that she wanted to see Viney, but he himself wanted to know more about the zombie lady’s condition. So, he patiently comforted his daughter, “Ling Ling, wait a moment. We’ll go and see your little brother soon, alright? Let’s first check on your Zombie Mommy.”
Duan Juan and Shen Yujen, who were following behind Lin Qiao, heard him and didn’t know what to say.
Zombie Mommy? That was way too straightforward!
Thankfully, Ling Ling didn’t like talking, so she probably wouldn’t call Lin Qiao that in front of other people. Then again, Chief Wu seemed to be quite determined about his relationship with Lin Qiao. He even taught his daughter to call her Mommy!
Hearing what he said, Lin Qiao instantly furrowed her eyebrows and stopped walking. It was late and night, and no other people were in the hallway, but still, she didn’t want Ling Ling to call her that.
“Can you please stop teaching her to call me that? I like Ling Ling, but I don’t want to be her Mommy.” Her feelings toward Wu Chengyue had changed, but she still refused to let her relationship with him grow any closer.
She had no plan of being with him, or any other man for that matter. She really did not want to go through the pain that she had suffered before again.
Judging by Wu Chengyue’s tone of speaking, he was pretty possessive. People’s feelings changed all the time. Who would know if his feelings toward her would be different someday?
Lin Qiao was aware that Wu Chengyue was a strong man, and she believed that he wouldn’t die easily. However, her relationships with both her ex-boyfriends ended in miserable ways, and she was afraid of suffering that kind of pain again.
Seeing the cold and fierce look on her face, Wu Chengyue gave a sigh and said, “Alright, I get it. I’ll tell her to call you Aunty Lu. Is that okay?”
On hearing that, Lin Qiao turned and kept walking while she said, “I think I’ll prefer ‘sister’. Alright, it’s late. Ling Ling needs to rest. Chief Wu, you should take her back to rest.”
She had given birth to Viney, so the binding between Wu Chengyue and her should have ended. He no longer needed to stay together with her. Besides, he had left Sea City Base for nearly a month. It was about the time for him to go back.
Wu Chengyue carried Wu Yueling and followed behind her. He looked at her back and pressed his lips together. He wanted to bossily way no to her, but didn’t want to trigger an argument with her. He wasn’t happy about her attitude, as he felt that she was abandoning him after making use of him.
“I get it.” Wu Chengyue stayed expressionless and silent for about ten seconds, then stopped walking before turning and leaving.
Duan Juan and Shen Yujen turned to glance at his back. Somehow, they felt that he was upset. The two of them then turned back to their Chief and both sighed in their heads.
Duan Juan knew why had Lin Qiao been staying vigilant against Wu Chengyue. But unlike her, Shen Yujen didn’t understand why the atmosphere between Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue suddenly grew tense again. Weren’t they on friendly terms not long ago? She thought Wu Chengyue had a chance of winning her heart.
In Lin Hao’s clinic, Lin Hao gave Lin Qiao a check-up and found that she was totally fine, except for the fact that her belly looked a little flabby.
“How much energy do you have in your nucleus now?” He thought for a moment and then asked her a question.
Lin Qiao answered, “I’ve regained fifteen percent of my power during the past two months, but that energy was consumed up just now during the birth. Now, I can’t feel any energy inside me.”
“What about the rest part of your body?” Lin Hao asked another question, “Do you feel any discomfort? Or, is everything normal again?”
Lin Hao had kept all kinds of problems that occurred during her pregnancy in secret records. He knew that her condition would be different after the baby came out. There were two possibilities: she would restore all her lost energy and powers slowly, or her energy and powers would be gone for good.
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “How could that happen so soon? I guess it’ll take a little longer. I’ve regained the control of my space, though, and my space has grown larger…”
She narrowed her eyes to sense her space, then found that the white fog had moved further backward for a long distance.
