Lin Qiao knew that he would come to find her at some point, but didn’t expect him to show up so soon. It was the second day after the New Year.

“Chief Wu, don’t you have work to do? Are you here to wish me a happy new year?” Lin Qiao sat in the living room, looking at Wu Chengyue with a weird expression. The little girl was sitting on her knees.

“Ling Ling wants to see you, so here we are. Why? Am I not welcome?” Wu Chengyue smilingly raised his eyebrows as he looked at Lin Qiao and said.

“So, you brought all these… Is it necessary for you to bring so many people?” Lin Qiao glanced at the group of people who were sitting behind Wu Chengyue.

Xiao Yunlong, Xiao Licheng, Meng Yue, Kong Qingming, Li Ming, Moli, Li Yueshan, and an unacquainted girl… Among those people, Xiao Yunlong was at level-seven, and was a new Chief of Sea City Base. All the others were at level-five before, but now they had all broken into level-six. A few of them had been promoted to Deputy Chiefs.

According to Wu Chengyue, he visited Lin Qiao because Ling Ling wanted to see her. But, why did he bring all those people?

Hearing Lin Qiao’s question, Xiao Yunlong and the others all turned to Wu Chengyue with the same look in their eyes. Some of them even twitched their eye corners toward Lin Qiao to give Wu Chengyue a signal.

Wu Chengyue nodded at them.

The girl that Lin Qiao hadn’t met yet stood up with a faint smile as she walked to the middle of the living room, then said to Lin Qiao, “Miss. Lu, good to meet you. My name is Luo Gefei. I am a space possessor.”

Lin Qiao nodded at her and said, “Hi.”

After that, she glanced at Wu Chengyue with confusion. The man narrowed his eyes in a smile. No clear emotion could be detected from those eyes.

Lin Qiao turned back to Luo Gefei. She was about five-feet and six-inches tall, with waist-long hair, and a tall and slim body. She had a delicate face and snow-white skin, looking a little like a doll. Lin Qiao guessed that she looked younger than she really was.

She was smiling, yet that smile was completely superficial. Lin Qiao couldn’t read her mind, and her smiling face looked like a mask.

As Luo Gefei raised an arm, a pile of bags and boxes showed up on the floor next to her.

“These are gifts from our Chief, so please accept then,” Luo Gefei said, then nodded at Lin Qiao smilingly. After that, she turned and returned to her own seat.

“Eh? What are all these?” Lin Qiao looked at Wu Chengyue bewilderedly. Why on earth did he suddenly bring her so many gifts? Did he need her help?

“These are my new year gifts to you,” said Wu Chengyue with a smile.

“And then?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.

“What ‘then’? There is no ‘then’,” Wu Chengyue kept looking at her smilingly.

“No ‘then’?” Lin Qiao’s expression turned even weirder than before. She looked at Wu Chengyue, then at Wu Yueling who was in her arms. After that, she turned and made eye contact with Lin Feng, who was sitting beside her. She had completely no idea what Wu Chengyue was doing.

Lin Feng and the others were all confused as well.

She stood up as she held Wu Yueling’s hand and walked to that pile of gifts. Then, she pointed at the box on the top and asked, “What is this?”

Wu Chengyue stayed silent while Moli answered the question for him. With no expression, she said blandly, “These are medicines. Currently, we only have limited kinds of medicines. These are all we can give.”

“And this?” Lin Qiao pointed at a smaller box.

“Those are seeds.” This time, Kong Qingming answered her question. He was lazily leaning on one arm of the chair while resting his head on a palm. His pretty face wore a charming smile as he looked at Lin Qiao in the eyes, seeming to even trying to seduce her.

“We also brought weapons, daily necessities, kitchen and toilet supplies, and wine. A small amount for each type. I hope you like them,” Wu Chengyue said smilingly.

“Okay, let’s drop that for now. So, why did you suddenly bring me so much precious stuff? Medicines and seeds? What do you want?” Lin Qiao straightened her body and looked at Wu Chengyue. She had a feeling that if she accepted those gifts, a bigger problem would come to her. Of course, she could not accept gifts for no reason.

Instead of answering her question, Wu Chengyue responded to her with a meaningful faint smile.

Lin Qiao looked at the others. Some of the other people from Sea City Base were also smilingly meaningfully, and some were looking at her expressionlessly. None of them intended to answer her question.

At that moment, the little girl pulled the lower edge of Lin Qiao’s cloth. Lin Qiao turned to her and found the girl looking at her with a pair of sparkling big eyes.

‘We want Zombie Mommy to be with Ling Ling!’?Lin Qiao heard her thought, but didn’t understand her meaning.

Was she trying to say that all those gifts were sent to her because of Wu Yueling? What did she mean by ‘be with Ling Ling’?

Lin Qiao brought the little girl back to her seat, then glanced at Lin Feng silently.

Receiving her signal, Lin Feng started talking with a smile, “How can we accept these precious gifts without a reason? My guests, please make it clear with us. Do you need our help? We will do our best to help you, and you don’t need to bring us so many gifts.”

‘Yeah, who’s gonna take your stuff that came for no reason?’

Lin Qiao agreed in her head. She didn’t say anything though, but turned and picked up a strawberry from the tea table. After watching the girl make a bite, she put the rest of the strawberry on her hand, and then picked up her teacup to take a sip.

“Oh, a reason. Well… These are betrothal gifts. Is that a good reason? I want to marry your Chief, so she can take care of Ling Ling for me,” Wu Chengyue finally said the words with a smile.

Puff!

“Eh-hem!”

“Eh…”

“What!”

Lin Qiao spouted the tea in her mouth. After that, she calmly wiped her mouth with her sleeve. Chen Yuting, who was sitting behind Lin Feng, had his crossed legs twitching suddenly. As a result, he almost fell off his chair. As for the others, some of them were choked on their saliva.

Lin Feng was the most composed one among all. He made no other reactions and only looked at Wu Chengyue and his people expressionlessly.

“Wait… What did you say? I didn’t hear it clearly. The last part?” Lin Qiao wiped her mouth, then looked at Wu Chengyue and asked calmly.

Wu Chengyue maintained that smile on his face while repeating his words, “I want you to take care of my Ling Ling for me. Can you do that?”

“She can’t!” The composed Lin Feng answered the question before Lin Qiao did. Hearing his voice, the others all turned to him.

Lin Qiao nodded to agree with him.

‘What the hell? Is this a joke? Marry him? I never even thought about that!’?she said to herself.

“Our Chief already has a man. So Chief Wu, please give up,” Lin Feng threw out a bomb that shocked the others so badly.

“Damn! Lin Feng, what are you talking about!” Lin Qiao was stunned. She hurriedly turned to Lin Feng and yelled with a small but high-pitched voice.
