Xiao Shan nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Lu Yuan and suddenly laughed.

Lu Yuan was somewhat puzzled by the other party's sudden smile.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly laughing?"

Xiao Shan grabbed Lu Yuan's arm and said, "Actually, you don't need to discuss this with me! You can make the decision yourself!"

After listening, Lu Yuan gently pinched the other person's cheek.

“Things are different now! Before, I was the leader of the entire camp and the dimensional space, so I could only help them make decisions! But things are different now! Now we are a small family! We need to discuss everything that concerns our family!”

Xiao Shan looked at Lu Yuan sweetly: "Are you going to hand over all the power in the family to me? Aren't you afraid people will say you're henpecked?"

"Haha! What's there to be afraid of! So what if I'm henpecked! I quite like henpecked husbands!"

"Okay! I've decided! We'll go with your method! But we need to deal with the immediate issues first! The superstorm has arrived, let's get the house sorted out first!"

Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes! That's what I was thinking too! When it's Lao Zhou's wedding, let's bring more supplies and help him with the arrangements! After all, we've been friends for so long!"

"Yeah! That's true. Old Zhou should have gotten married a long time ago! Now that Xiao Chen is growing up, the family isn't complete without his mother around! But now it's all right! Old Zhou's family is finally complete!"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes! But Lao Zhou's temper is still a bit too domineering! I reckon Liu Qian must often suffer at home. When you have time, try to talk to her and comfort her!"

Xiao Shan was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean? You mean Lao Zhou might bully Liu Qian?"

"No, that's not it. Old Zhou is used to living alone, so he was very attentive to his partner at first, but it's hard to say what will happen later! And then there's Liu Qian, you know what happened before! After all, she assisted Jin Shu! So, she always feels like a traitor! Sigh! I really can't say anything about this situation! Old Zhou is used to being carefree, so we still have to start with Liu Qian!"

"Okay! I'll try to talk to her later! Actually, she's a pitiful person! Her child was kidnapped, and she had no choice. It's all Jin Shu's fault! He's such a despicable person!"

After chatting for a while, Lu Yuan felt a little tired.

So the two of them lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after.

Meanwhile, at the United Fortress, everyone was busy because the superstorm had entered the area.

Several sections of the fortress roofs were not yet fully closed, so they needed to quickly cover the tops to prevent the superstorm's gale-force winds from tearing open even larger gaps.

Chaos erupted inside the fortress as people began packing their belongings and hid inside their houses, too afraid to come out.

To prevent riots, military and police forces within the fortress have been deployed to assist in maintaining order.

When Zhou Tong returned home, he saw that Xiao Chen and Xiao Tian were already asleep, which put his mind at ease.

Liu Qian looked at Zhou Tong nervously and helped him hang his cotton-padded coat on the hanger.

"The water for washing your feet is ready! Why don't you go wash your feet?"

Zhou Tong waved his hand wearily; the drinking party had just ended, and he reeked of alcohol.

As the alcohol slowly evaporated, Zhou Tong also felt a bit sleepy. He pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "I'm sleeping on the sofa tonight! You go back to sleep first!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian's face flashed with a hint of helplessness, yet she felt utterly powerless to do anything about it.

"Oh! Let me wash your feet!"

After saying that, Liu Qian turned around and went back into the room to bring back water for washing feet.

However, Zhou Tong had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Helpless, Liu Qian could only put the foot-washing water aside and then find a blanket to cover Zhou Tong.

Looking at Zhou Tong sleeping soundly, Liu Qian's eyes suddenly reddened.

This man treats her very well and is extremely capable; many women want to marry him.

Perhaps she was lucky, or perhaps it was because of her appearance that Zhou Tong took a liking to her.

This made her feel both happy and somewhat wronged.

"Could it be... could it be that he only agreed to marry me because I look like his ex-wife?"

After speaking softly, two streams of tears immediately slid down Liu Qian's cheeks.

She cried silently for a while, then carried the foot bath basin back to her room.

The wind outside was getting stronger, and to prevent the air pressure inside and outside the house from becoming unstable, the windows inside the house started to creak.

Liu Qian returned to her room and found some things to seal the gaps in the door and windows, which greatly reduced the noise in the room.

Just then, as Liu Qian was about to return to her room, she suddenly heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.

She quickly turned her head to look at Zhou Tong, afraid that he would be woken up.

However, Zhou Tong was sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up, so she tiptoed outside.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind blew in.

Liu Qian was caught off guard and was knocked down by the door that was blown open by the strong wind, hitting her forehead on a pile of debris next to her.

Immediately, blood began to flow down his forehead.

Zhou Tong frowned slightly, his drowsiness was also woken up, and he was no longer sleepy.
