Lin Qiao never thought that Lin Feng would say that in front of so many people. She was totally unprepared.
Lin Feng glanced at her, then continued in a bland tone, "I think this is a good reason for her to reject you."
'She even has a baby with him. Isn't that a good reason?'?If he were allowed to tell people about her baby, he might directly tell Wu Chengyue that she was already pregnant with some other man's baby, so she was not the right person for him.
Lin Qiao wanted very much to bury her face in her palms. She had read Lin Feng's mind. She really wanted to tell him that the man he was thinking about was none other than the man who was smiling like a fox in front of him.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Wu Chengyue smiled even more delightfully.
"Eh-hem, eh... Wait a minute! I think Chief Wu just told a nice joke, hehe. But now, can we talk seriously? Can we please stop joking?" Lin Qiao started talking to stop Wu Chengyue from saying what he wanted to say.
Wu Chengyue blinked. He was surprised that Lin Qiao rejected by describing his purpose as a joke. Thankfully, he had foreseen that she would not accept him, so he managed to stay composed.
He smiled and said, "No, I'm not joking. I'm serious! My Ling Ling is serious too. Right, Ling Ling?" After saying that, he looked at his daughter and even winked at her.
Next, the others saw that Wu Yueling, who was never willing to communicate with other people in public, nodded at her father, then turned and looked at Lin Qiao expectantly.
As Wu Yueling caught the attention of the others, Wu Chengyue took the opportunity to continue speaking, "Besides, the man that Deputy Chief Lin talked about..."
"Uh! That... was a story that Lin Feng made up. I, as the Chief of All Being Base, have no man. But, I do not intend to marry any man. Chief Wu, if what you said is not a joke, please take back your words." Lin Qiao interrupted Wu Chengyue before he could finish his words.
Lin Qiao felt so troubled. She believed that Wu Chengyue was doing that for Viney!
Lin Feng glanced at Lin Qiao, then said to agree with her, "That's right! Chief Wu, please don't make a joke like that. We really can't tell how our Chief has been attracting Chief Wu."
Wu Chengyue had known Lin Feng and his people for quite long, and had found out about almost all the background information about their base. He and she were never close. They weren't even friends, not to mention becoming a married couple. Now, Wu Chengyue suddenly proposed to Lin Qiao. That probably meant that Wu Chengyue had his eyes on some other kind of value of her base.
Speaking of the value of her base, that would be the ability to control zombies, and some secrets about Lin Qiao.
She was a special zombie. She was able to affect other zombies in a special and obvious way. The water from her space had healing power, and could help superpowered people with the upgrade, as well as raising the possibility of awaking superpowers. Therefore, the lake would be a key to the growth of the entire base's general strength.
If Wu Chengyue married Lin Qiao, he would have access to the lake, and the other value of her base.
As a base administrator, Lin Feng pondered over Wu Chengyue's proposal and got the above result.
Lin Qiao had thought about those too. Except for all those, Wu Chengyue also wanted Viney. He wanted a lot.
"How about this? You can reject me, and I can take these gifts away... for now. But, can you let me talk to your Chief privately?" Wu Chengyue glanced at Luo Gefei smilingly, then said to the All Beings Base people on the scene.
Clearly, he had foreseen the result.
Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and glanced at the others, then nodded, meaning that she was willing to talk to him in private.
"Chief?" Lin Feng nodded slightly.
Lin Qiao nodded at him and said, "Don't worry. I know what to do."
While speaking, she stood up as she held Wu Yueling's hand and headed toward the outside. She didn't really want to hold the little girl's hand all the time. However, once she dropped the girl's hand, the girl would jump to her and hold her thigh!
Wu Chengyue nodded at Luo Gefei, then stood up and followed behind Lin Qiao.
Receiving Wu Chengyue's signal, Luo Gefei quickly stood up and put the pile of gifts back into her space, then went back to her seat with a small smile.
Lin Qiao found an empty room and walked in. As Wu Chengyue came in and closed the door, she looked at him with a bland face and asked, "What do you want? Why you proposed to me? Did I allow you to do that?"
"Why do I need your permission to propose to the girl that I want to marry? Have you been seeing me as one of those irresponsible men? Even if I don't want to be responsible for you, I have to be responsible for the baby, right? Are you going to raise the baby alone without letting me see her?" Wu Chengyue smiled and looked Lin Qiao straight in the eyes.
"Did I say that? Since you don't mind the fact that we were both entrapped by Viney, I have nothing to say about that. There are plenty of ways for you to be responsible for the baby. Why did you choose the most complicated way to do that?" Lin Qiao looked at him and responded.
Being responsible for the baby was simply about raising the baby. There were many ways to raise a baby, right? Even if he intended to provide the baby with a healthy family environment, it still wouldn't be necessary for him to marry her.
He clearly wanted something else!
"That's the perfect way for the baby. Giving her a healthy family is not only my responsibility, but also yours, " Wu Chengyue's smile never changed, yet his words did not give much space for negotiation.
"A healthy family? I think you want something else. Besides, Viney isn't a normal baby. She is able to grow normally without a normal family environment, " Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and rejected him again.
Finally, Wu Chengyue's smile faded a little. He slightly nodded and said, "No matter what, I am the baby's father. If you don't want to marry me, I think it'll be better for me to raise the child."
Lin Qiao raised her eyebrows and replied, "Why?"
Wu Chengyue looked at her as he curved his mouth corners slightly, then said smilingly, "Because you are a zombie. I'm worried that you might hurt her one day."
"You are overthinking. She isn't even born yet. Do you think that she'll be a normal human being? Besides, I won't hurt her no matter what, " Lin Qiao looked at him right in the eyes.
"So, whatever your plan is, I won't marry you. You are a healthy human being. Why don't you find yourself a woman? Why do you want to marry a zombie?" Lin Qiao pressed her lips together and then continued.
"Because you are the only woman... Well, no, you're the only zombie that I had sex with after the apocalypse. Our bodies matched perfectly. Isn't that right?" Wu Chengyue grinned as he glanced at her from head to toe.
