Chapter 722: The News Spreads

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The next day, the news that Chief Wu, the strongest man in Sea City Base, had proposed to the female Chief from All Beings Base spread among all the administrators of All Beings Base.

So early in the morning, Lin Qiao’s office became noisy.

“Sister… Eh, Chief, I heard that Wu Chengyue came to propose to you! Is that real?” Lin Wenwen rushed in. She didn’t even knock on the door.

Lin Qiao didn’t raise her head but focused on writing down the plans for this year on a piece of paper on her desk. While writing, she said, “Yeah.”

Lin Wenwen immediately got closer to her; Long Qingying was there too. She didn’t come inside the office, but listened to the conversation between Lin Wenwen and her sister very carefully.

“Why? It turns out that Chief Wu likes you! Or… Is he here to ask you to be responsible for him?” Lin Wenwen popped her eyes and asked with excitement.

Lin Qiao raised a corner of her eyes and glanced at Lin Wenwen as she replied, “What did you say?”

“About what the previous owner of your body did to him! She raped him, didn’t she? He’s definitely here to ask you to take the responsibility for that!” Lin Wenwen said with a wicked grin, “Don’t tell me that you didn’t know about it! You’ve taken her body, so you should be responsible for what she did.”

Lin Qiao turned her eyes back to the paper as she said, “Are you here to waste my time? Get out if you have nothing important to say to me. Can’t you see that I’m busy?”

“Just tell me what you said to him,” Lin Wenwen asked one last question.

“I told him that I won’t accept it. Is that good enough for you? Can you please leave my office now?” Lin Qiao responded with discontent.

“Ah… just like that? Alright, I get it,” Lin Wenwen turned and left the office.

Not long after Lin Wenwen left, Yuan Tianxing came to the office.

“Why did he come here to propose to you? It’s not because what the previous owner of your body did to him, is it?” Yuan Tianxing asked a straightforward question once he got in.

“How am I supposed to know why he did that? I want the answer too,” Lin Qiao gave him a glance, then responded with a bland tone.

“What is your answer then? You didn’t say yes, did you?” Yuan Tianxing asked her. He was a little anxious.

“Do you think that I’ll say yes?” Lin Qiao was trying to let him know that that was an unnecessary question.

Yuan Tianxing paused briefly, then slightly relaxed his tightened face. He was a little worried. He had just told her about his feelings for her, and now someone proposed to her. That was such a coincidence.

As Lin Qiao didn’t say yes to Wu Chengyue, Yuan Tianxing felt slightly better.

He was actually a little delighted. He couldn’t be with her, but he didn’t want anyone else to be with her either.

“I’ll send out my people to find out his purpose,” said Yuan Tianxing. “At lease, we need to know why he did that and what he wants.”

Lin Qiao nodded, “I was going to do that. Since you have mentioned it, I’ll let you do the job then.”

After Yuan Tianxing left, Liu Jun came to Lin Qiao. While handing her the file about the current state of the farm, she asked, “Why did he suddenly propose you? Is it because of that? Does he want you to be responsible for what Lu Tianyu did? That happened so long ago. Why didn’t he propose to you earlier? Why now? What does he want?”

Liu Jun felt that the proposal wasn’t as simple as that. She didn’t believe that Wu Chengyue did that because he liked Lin Qiao. Why didn’t he come earlier or later? Why now?

“I’ve asked Yuan Tianxing to find out about his purpose. God knows what he’s planning,” Lin Qiao took over the file and browsed it while talking. The file listed the planting areas of all kinds of plants in the farm, as well as the harvests and the acreage of the newly developed farmland.

After Liu Jun left, Lin Qiao finally got some quiet. However, not long after that, Wu Chengyue came to her office.

Lin Qiao put on elbow on the desk and rested her head on a palm, silently looking at Wu Chengyue who had sneaked into her office with his daughter.

“Your office is in the hotel. I thought it was in the school,” Wu Chengyue looked around, said smilingly.

“This place is convenient for me. How can I help you?” Lin Qiao made a quick response.

She had moved all the base members to the school area and arranged her own working area in the hotel. The conference room, reception room, as well as the offices of Qiu Lili and the others, were all in the hotel. Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, and the other human administrators worked in the school area.

They only came to the hotel when there was a meeting, or when they needed to talk to the Chief. The hotel was zombie territory now, so those human administrators would only go there occasionally. The school area wasn’t far away from the hotel anyway.

Except for the base administrators, the other base members were forbidden from entering the hotel area.

“I came to see if you need my help. Have you made the plans for this year yet?” Wu Chengyue and Wu Yueling sat on a couch, which was located on the other side of the office, without getting close to Lin Qiao’s desk.

“Thank you, but I don’t need help. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to ask the strongest man in Sea City Base to deal with those small works for me,” Lin Qiao refused.

“Really? Alright then. You can do your job. I’ll just sit here. I won’t disturb you,” Wu Chengyue sat there with composure. He leaned on the back of the couch and smiled at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao looked at him with a slight frown, preparing to ask him to go.

“Oh, please don’t ask us to leave. Ling Ling wanted to come here to see you. If you tell us to leave, she’d burst in tears. And if she cries too hard, her illness might attack.” Wu Chengyue immediately raised a hand and said firmly.

Lin Qiao looked at Wu Yueling. As she thought, the little girl’s lips were twitching slightly, as if she would really start cry once Lin Qiao asked her and her father to leave.

Lin Qiao was a little speechless.

At last, she had no choice but to glance at him coldly and say, “Do whatever you want, but please don’t interfere with my work. Otherwise, I might ask you to leave, and let Ling Ling stay here alone.”

“Ok, sure,” Wu Chengyue smiled like a fox while his eyes narrowed into a pair of curved lines.

Seeing his perky smile, Lin Qiao rolled her eyes in her heart. She didn’t wear any expression, and just lowered her head to continue working.

Wu Chengyue did what he said. He didn’t interrupt Lin Qiao, and only sat there quietly. At times, he quietly communicated with Wu Yueling with sign language, and at times, he glanced at Lin Qiao, who was working concentratedly.

Duan Juan, who was near the door, felt very speechless.

Before long, the entire base had heard that Chief Wu from Sea City Base was pursuing their pretty Chief, and that he wanted to marry her and let her be the mother of Ling Ling.

Then, they found that Chief Wu had become their pretty Chief’s tail.

When their Chief was working, Chief Wu stayed in her office. When she got off work, he looked for her everywhere, but she hid in her space.

Wu Chengyue couldn’t get into her space. So, he stayed in her office every single day during working time. He didn’t talk or cause problems, and only looked at her quietly.

‘Chief Wu has so much free time?!’ — The All Beings Base people all thought the same thing.
