389 A Huge Misunderstanding

Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming glanced at each other, both wearing a worried look. After that, Lu Tianyi turned to get some water for Wu Chengyue while Kong Qingming sat down uneasily.

Wu Chengyue turned around and gave Xiao Licheng a glance. Receiving the glance, the latter knowingly left with the two soldiers.

As all the others left, and only Wu Chengyue, Lu Tianyi, Kong Qingming, and the little one were left in the office, Wu Chengyue smilingly looked at the two and started talking.

"I heard that you've been hindering my people on their missions. I'd like to know what exactly is going on."

Lu Tianyi heard Wu Chengyue's words as he put a few glasses of water on the table and sat down. He looked at Wu Chengyue, pretending not to know anything. "Eh? What mission? Did we hamper your work, Chief Wu?"

A strange gleam of light flashed across Wu Chengyue's narrowed, smiling eyes. Then, he said jokingly, seemingly with discontentment, "Alright, you are pretending."

"Kong, you tell me then…" He abruptly turned to Kong Qingming and said.

"Eh?" Kong Qingming didn't expect Wu Chengyue to turn to him while talking to Lu Tianyi suddenly, so he didn't manage to react timely.

"What 'eh'? Tell me, why wouldn't you let my people find the information about Miss. Lu? Have you been protecting her? Why?" Wu Chengyue spoke directly.

Hearing his straightforward question, Kong Qingming didn't know how to respond, so he turned to glance at Lu Tianyi.

"Chief, can we ask why you suddenly want the information about her?" Lu Tianyi threw a question back, "If you give us a good reason, we might tell you what we know about her."

The smile on Wu Chengyue's face turned a little mysterious as he responded, "Because I'm very interested in her now. Is that reason good enough?"

Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming glanced at each other, both remaining silent.

Wu Chengyue turned to Ling Ling as he rubbed her head and sighed, "I wasn't going to publicize this yet, so after hearing what I'm about to say, you need to keep it secret for me."

Both Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming had their eyes glowed.

Was Chief Wu going to tell them about his purpose? They didn't expect that to happen so soon.

They were really surprised that Wu Chengyue would actually tell them about his true purpose.

"I want her to be my Ling Ling's mother, also my wife. So, it's reasonable for me to want to dig out her background, isn't it?" said Wu Chengyue.

Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming were left open-mouthed. They stared at Wu Chengyue, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment! Chief Wu, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly!" Lu Tianyi hurriedly raised a hand to point at Wu Chengyue and said in shock. Kong Qingming paused in shock for a few seconds, then wore a weird expression.

Wu Chengyue looked at Lu Tianyi's shocked face, then laughed and responded, "I said I want her to be my wife. What's wrong about that?"

"No!" After hearing him repeating that, Lu Tianyi said no without thinking.

Wu Chengyue was confused by Lu Tianyi's attitude. With a complicated expression, he asked, "Why? You have nothing to do with her, right? Em… eh, you're not fond of her as well, are you?"

"Pah!" Kong Qingming picked up a glass of water and took a sip after processing what he had heard earlier. However, he sprayed that water right out after hearing what Wu Chengyue said just now.

"Pah!" Lu Tianyi also spouted the water in his mouth. After saying no, he had picked up a glass and taken a sip of water as well to ease the awkward atmosphere, because he realized that he might have said the wrong words.

And hence, they both spouted the water in their mouths after hearing Wu Chengyue's words.

"Eh-hem…" While coughing, they embarrassedly wiped their mouths.

"It's not like that… eh-hem…" Lu Tianyi said anxiously while raising a hand to try and stop Wu Chengyue from talking

"No? Then, why were you so emotional just now? So, you like women who're older than you… Do you know about her true identity?" The smile on Wu Chengyue's face had turned a little weird.

"No… It's not like that! Chief, please don't misunderstand me! It's not like what you said," That misunderstanding which Wu Chengyue had made Lu Tianyi really uncomfortable. While trying to explain, he hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head.

Kong Qingming, who sat beside Lu Tianyi, covered his forehead with a hand after wiping his mouth, seeming to be trying very hard to stop himself from laughing out loud.

The smile on Wu Chengyue's face faded slightly as he looked at Lu Tianyi and said with surprise, "Is it really not like that? But you reacted so strongly…"

"It's definitely not like that! It's impossible for me to be with her! But Chief, it's also… not quite possible for you to be with her either!"

Wu Chengyue paused for a moment at first, then looked at him confusedly and asked, "Why? Do you know her true identity?"

Hearing that, Lu Tianyi paused briefly as well, then glanced at Kong Qingming. After that, he turned back to Wu Chengyue and asked, "Do you already know?"

Wu Chengyue nodded and said, "I know that she's not human. She's a zombie. Isn't that what you don't want me to find out?"

'It… is… not! What I don't want you to find out is that she's my sister who had raped you!' said Lu Tianyi in his head.

He silently stared at Wu Chengyue for a few seconds, and Kong Qingming was stunned as well.

That seemed to be a huge misunderstanding…

Kong Qingming looked at Wu Chengyue and said with a strange expression, "Eh, Chief, so you already know that she's not human. Then why do you… still…"

"As you've seen, even though she's a zombie, she's no different from normal human beings, except for her special eyes. Also, she's nice, isn't she? She has saved your lives, so you should know about that. I've spent some time with her lately, and I have a feeling that she's a decent soul," said Wu Chengyue.

Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming both gazed at him silently.

'Chief, she has raped you. Are you sure that you wouldn't beat her after finding out who she truly is? Although, you've already battled once,' Lu Tianyi thought.

Wu Chengyue had no clue about the complicated feelings of the two. He only thought that they were worried that he might regret after learning that Lin Qiao was a zombie. With a faint smile, he said, "In fact, I was already quite interested in her before, not so much that I wanted to marry her though. But now, things are different. I've already eaten her. As a man, I need to be responsible for her. What's also very important, Ling Ling likes her a lot."

Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming didn't know what to say.

What did they just hear? Eh… It didn't sound right!

With hesitation, Lu Tianyi asked, "Ugh, Chief, what did you say just now? I don't quite understand! What did you mean by you've already eaten her?"

It wasn't like what he thought, is it?

Wu Chengyue glanced at Ling Ling, then turned back to him and replied, "Well, you're an adult, so I think you should understand what I meant."

Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming slightly opened their mouths but failed to say a word. They were both astonished. They couldn't believe that! How on earth did those two get together! What in the world had happened!
