"Look how nervous you are. I was kidding!" Lin Qiao glanced at the little girl with a smile, then moved toward her desk.
At that point, Wu Yueling wore a struggling face. She looked at the rabbit, then at Lin Qiao. After that, she blinked and put the fat rabbit on the ground, then walked to Lin Qiao.
"Why don't you go to Huaxia Base? You might be able to make yourself a pretty good deal this time," Lin Qiao sat into her chair. Instead of jumping into work, she folded her arms before her chest and leaned against the back of her chair while asking Wu Chengyue a question.
Wu Chengyue detected her strong desire for making him leave from her words. She really wanted him to leave as soon as possible. As for whether he would head to Huaxia or not, she didn't care.
"Am I repulsive to you?" He stopped smiling, and his eyes which were normally narrowed were now wide open. With no expression on his face, he asked Lin Qiao a question straightforwardly. His eyes did hold a meaningful look though.
Lin Qiao wasn't expecting a question like that. After a short and subtle change of expression, she looked straight into his eyes and responded, "Not repulsive. But, I can't say that I like you. In fact, I want to ask you why you proposed to me. Don't tell me that it's because of Viney. You should know that she will not be a normal child. We don't even know what she will be, and how she will look like. I don't think there is a good chance for her to come out as a human being."
She was trying to tell him that the baby was certainly a special creature. Wu Chengyue was a healthy man, and a leader of a base. Raising a special child would affect him largely.
Would the residents of his base ever tolerate their leader raising a child who might be a zombie or something like that?
Wu Chengyue glanced at the door. The door was closed, meaning that no one would hear their conversation.
She looked at Lin Qiao and said, "No matter what she'll become like, she has my genes, and she is my child. If I can't even protect my child, what am I? Why would I want to be a base leader like that?"
Without the smile, he looked much more serious than usual, and his handsome face radiated a sharp vibe. His eyes were toned with composure, yet were also shining with a dangerous light.
He frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Lin Qiao.
"Eh… Even if you want to be responsible for the baby, as I have said, you can do that in many other ways. You don't have to marry me for that. What's the point of marrying a woman that you don't even like?" Lin Qiao looked at him and said blandly.
"Who said I'm marrying a woman that I don't like? Besides, you got to let Viney have a father, right?" Wu Chengyue's heart leaped slightly. The smile came back onto his face as he continued.
The sharp vibe from him quickly vanished as the cunning smile returned to his face.
"You don't even like me, yet you're asking to marry me. Am I wrong? As for Viney, I didn't say that you can't be her father. If she wants to call you father, I'll be fine with it," Lin Qiao said, still in a bland tone.
Wu Chengyue fell into silence and only looked at her with a faint smile.
Lin Qiao looked back at his smiling face and raised her eyebrows, looking at him with no expression and without saying anything.
The eye-contact lasted for a short while. After that, Wu Chengyue abruptly stood up and slowly walked to Lin Qiao's desk, then bent over slightly and put both hands on her desk to support his upper body. Then, he lowered his face to look down at Lin Qiao while shortening the distance between him and her.
Lin Qiao watched his handsome face come closer without drawing back at all. Yet, her temples beat slightly.
Earlier on when Lin Qiao said that he was asking to marry a woman that he didn't even like, he subconsciously denied. Somehow, he didn't want to agree with that.
Why would he pay so much attention to her if he didn't like her? If he had no feelings for her, why wouldn't he mind the fact that she raped him, and that she was a zombie?
Before, he thought that he was only interested in her, and that he just wanted to know more about her. However, some things in his heart changed after they had their second sex. Meanwhile, he longed for her. He had tasted her and he could never stop wanting more. He often recalled how they had sex twice, and the pleasure that he had sensed. That was why he had been trying to bring her to himself, by using the baby as an excuse.
His heart flipped when Lin Qiao said what she said, and then he figured out something immediately.
While smiling, he put his face near Lin Qiao's. An indescribable light shone out of his crescent-like eyes, straight into Lin Qiao's green eyes.
He curved his pretty lips and said with a soft voice, "Perhaps I don't know what 'like' really means yet. But I do know that currently, this part of me is already unable to ignore your presence."
While speaking, he raised his right hand and pointed at his heart. His eyes were still fixed on Lin Qiao's eyes as he was trying to grasp her emotions.
Lin Qiao slightly widened her eyes; some emotions did escape those eyes.
At first, she looked at him with confusion. Then, she started feeling surprised. After that, she slightly narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Without being swayed at all, she said, "No way! Chief Wu, are you saying that you're in love with a female zombie who… eh, raped you? Think about what I did before. I suppose I was hateful back then, wasn't I?"
Wu Chengyue stood straight and dropped his hands as he looked at her smilingly and gently. "I might be spending my entire life alone if you didn't rape me. I think I need to thank you for that," he said, "No matter who you were, I only want you for who you are."
Lin Qiao shivered under the gentle smile from his eyes. She couldn't help rubbing her arms to ease the gooseflesh while responding with dislike, "Are you a masochist? I'm sorry for what I did before… Well, I think my mind wasn't clear before. I have forgotten about all that. So Chief Wu, please forget about it as well."
Lin Qiao was talking about the fact that Lu Tianyu raped him. She didn't do that actually! Why on earth did she have to face it after such a long time?
"You wish! After our second time, you said that we can call it even, but I didn't agree! So, I think it's not bad for us to be together. Just accept my proposal, will you?" Wu Chengyue looked at her smilingly, then pointed at Wu Yueling and continued, "And Ling Ling always wants you to live with us. Right Ling Ling?"
After saying that, he shamelessly winked at Wu Yueling right before Lin Qiao's eyes.
Wu Yueling immediately raised her head and nodded quickly at Lin Qiao, looking at her expectantly with a pair of large and sparkling eyes.
