Chapter 984: Find Someone To Rely On

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wu Chengyue was, of course, aware that Teng was able to tell what was edible for himself and what was not. He believed in the zombie lady, but he didn’t want to feel like an outsider anymore.

With an upset look, he turned her head to Teng’s little bed and said, “That’s not what I meant.”

As the baby’s father, he felt as if he had failed to do his job, as he didn’t even know about the source of his baby’s food.

Moreover, Lin Qiao’s attitude made him feel hurt. She wasn’t ignorant, and she understood how he felt about her. She even had feelings toward him as well. But, why had she been running away from him all this long? Which part of him wasn’t good enough for her? Did he do something wrong?

Thinking about that, Wu Chengyue fell into the depression that rose from his heart. He felt very uncomfortable; he wanted to be angry, wrathful. Yet, his mind told him that he needed to calm down instead of losing his temper, or she would go further away from him.

Lin Qiao carried Teng in her arms. She heard what Wu Chengyue said, but didn’t respond. After a short silence, Wu Chengyue abruptly stood up as he held Ling Ling’s hand and walked toward the outside.

“You gave birth to the baby last night. Just get some rest,” At the door, Wu Chengyue left her a few words and then left.

Lin Qiao watched him leave with a strangely depressed vibe. She didn’t understand why he suddenly turned so emotional.

“I think he’s angry again. What happened?” She dropped her head and asked Teng.

“It was because of you,” Teng sighed and said.

“What does that have to do with me?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked bewilderedly.

“Because you made use of him and then abandoned him! Poor Daddy…” said Teng.

Lin Qiao was pretty confused on hearing that.

“How can you say that? You’re the reason for it all, aren’t you? You’re the one who made use of him!” Lin Qiao pinched the baby’s little face.

“Oh, you’re right!” Teng didn’t try to argue at all. After all, it was he who bonded the two adults together. He did that so he could absorb energy from his father.

“But, my Daddy is so nice! Why don’t you like him?”

Which part of his Daddy was not good? Wasn’t he handsome? Wasn’t he powerful? Wasn’t his body in a perfect shape? Was he short-tempered?

Young, handsome, gentle, strong men like him were very rare in these days!

Teng wondered why his mother didn’t like that man. Well, in fact, she did like him. She was only pretending not to like him!

Hearing the baby’s question, Lin Qiao first paused briefly to think, then dropped her eyes and said, “I need to worry about my family. I don’t want a man in my life taking up my mind.”

She was tired. Wasn’t her life great now? She had family. She had a son. She had what she needed. She didn’t need to rely on anyone. She could rely on herself.

“Aren’t you tired of living like this? Mama, I think you are wrong. Daddy isn’t a burden of yours. He can be your wall for you to rest on when you are tired. You can lean on him when you need to rest.” Teng wasn’t able to say too many words in one breath at the moment. After the long speech, he felt a little hard to catch his breath again.

He understood how his Mama felt, but didn’t understand why she felt that way.

Lin Qiao looked at him silently. She was nearly persuaded. But soon, she told herself not to think that way.

She always relied on herself ever since she was a little girl. She never relied on anyone else. She was a good student at school who never let her parents worry. She got bullied in school, yet she dealt with it on her own. She never needed help from Lin Feng, her big brother. She graduated from the military academy and then joined the army. During missions, she solved all sorts of problems on her own and shielded all her teammates.

She had two boyfriends, yet she never showed them her weakness.

Teng said that she should find someone to rely on. For a moment, she was tempted by that idea, because she could feel exhausted too sometimes like everyone else.

“I, your Mama, am so strong. I can rest on my own. I don’t need to rely on other people,” Lin Qiao said to Teng with a smile.

“Alright. You may not need to rest, but I do. I feel so tired. I need some sleep…” Teng finished talking, then dropped his little hands and turned his face away, prepared to have some sleep.

Lin Qiao put him on the bed, then checked his diaper before entering the space to get milk for the baby.

Teng was able to talk, so he would tell her if he wanted to pee.

She got some fresh goat milk and brought it to her house in the space, boiling it together with the lake water before bringing it out of the space.

While Teng was sleeping, Lin Qiao sat in the nursery and slowly read the files that Shen Yujen brought her while paying attention to him, who was sleeping on the tiny bed. Babies could get tired and energetic easily. Sometimes, they only needed a short sleep to restore their energy.

In merely two hours, Teng woke up.

“Mama, I need to pee,” Once awake, Teng raised a little hand and waved at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao raised her head from the files, then quickly dropped the file and stood up to carry Teng to the bathroom. There, she spread the baby’s legs and let him pee.

“Mama, don’t look!” Teng was shy, so much so that his little cheeks even turned pink.

“You are my son,” said Lin Qiao, “Are you afraid that I might see your ‘little brother’? Besides, I’ll take you home in a few days, then I’ll bathe you every day! You can pee in front of me. Are you aware that you are still a baby?”

Teng had no words to argue with that, but he still felt embarrassed. Thinking that his Mama would need to turn him back and forth nakedly to give him a bath, Teng sighed helplessly and then started peeing.

Lin Qiao spent a night in the nursery, keeping an eye on Teng while absorbing some energy nuclei. The next morning when she absorbed the fifth energy nucleus, she opened her eyes to see the baby looking at her with a pair of sparkling eyes.

“Eh? You opened your eyes!” Lin Qiao happily scooped him up and asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want to pee first?”

Teng had been holding it for a little while. He was going to ask Mama to take him to pee, but seeing that Mama was about to finish the last nucleus, he decided to wait for a little.

“Yes!”

Lin Qiao smilingly lifted him and brought him to the bathroom.

Coming out of the bathroom, she found the door of the nursery open, with Xie Dong and Lin Hao standing at the door, waiting for her. Lin Qiao wasn’t surprised to see them. She put Teng back on the bed and said, “Teng opened his eyes. I’ll take him home today. Lin Hao, get prepared!”

“Oh, so soon?” Lin Hao was aware that his nephew was an extraordinary little baby, so it was reasonable for him to leave the hospital early. But, he was reluctant to part with the baby. After all, once the baby left the hospital, he would need to travel all the way to Base Number Two to see him.
