Yunqi, who had already resigned from the company, canceled his rental agreement and hinted to the landlord to expand into the eastern and western regions. The landlord, a seasoned local, had a bold hypothesis based on the recent actions in City X and Yunqi's hints.

Regardless of what the landlord was imagining, his gratitude towards Yunqi was genuine. He not only returned her deposit but also insisted on reducing her rent by one month. He was even angry when Yunqi refused.

Having already stored most of their belongings in their spatial storage, and only packing a few boxes as a cover, they bid farewell to their hospitable landlord and arrived in Q City with Si Cheng.

It seems unlikely that this house in Q City will sell; there are still many smart people in this world. The two of them aren't short of money right now, so they're not dwelling on this issue.

"So many changes have already been made, which should save many lives."

"Silly Qibao, it's not that simple. In the face of natural disasters, humans are very small. Even those of us who have experienced one disaster can't guarantee that we can escape every one."

"Things will work themselves out. Anyway, things are better than before. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up," Yunqi said straightforwardly.

“It’s good that you think that way. By the way, I had my father-in-law buy us two storefronts in the city. If those areas are included in the base, there will be a lot of room for maneuver in the future.”

"Why didn't Dad mention this before? How come he bought it so quickly?"

“It’s not that I don’t want you to worry. Your father-in-law must have found his former classmate, and now he’s even completed the formalities.”

Before she knew it, it was the end of the year, and she was already eight months pregnant. She would return to her hometown to prepare for childbirth in another month. Now, her parents were living with her in a duplex apartment in the city. The hospital was right across from the complex, which was very convenient.

Because it was twins, Yun's parents were so pregnant they couldn't see their feet. Fearing their daughters would be born prematurely, one of them stayed with them the entire time. Meanwhile, Si Cheng was handling the final handover at headquarters. The head office must have received some word that they had closed their operations there this year. So, as long as he completed the handover at headquarters, he could leave and even received a large severance package.

Upon receiving Si Cheng's call and learning that he would be home the next day, Yun's mother hurriedly went to the market to buy groceries. While back in her hometown awaiting childbirth, Yun Qi secretly told her parents about the space, knowing that they always put her first. Previously, some people had advised them to have another child, a son, but they had always refused.

When Yunqi learned about the secret space, her parents were only worried about its potential effects on her health and whether it would endanger her life. They strictly forbade her to tell a fifth person. Yunqi's father even scolded her for not keeping the secret properly, saying that such a thing shouldn't be told to a second person, and ideally, not even them. Her father, fearing he might accidentally reveal it while drinking, gave up alcohol from the day he learned the secret. Yunqi's mother also reduced her socializing, afraid she might accidentally let it slip. Yunqi, seeing her parents like this, felt both amused and touched.

Because of my uncle's job transfer, my second grandfather and the others also notified the villagers to take back the land, plant grain, and store as much material as possible.

Now that this space has appeared, along with the information it has released, Cloud Daddy spends his free time driving around buying agricultural products. Combined with what he'd already collected, it now occupies two-thirds of the space. Half of the bottom planting layer is planted with herbs, and the rest with fruit. As for grains and vegetables, he's only collected seeds; they'll plant them if a food crisis occurs. In the apocalypse, sometimes medicinal herbs are more important than food.

And Yun's mother knows that the space can preserve food, so she makes delicious food whenever she has time. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure; compared to younger people, the older generation has a stronger sense of responsibility and concern.

When Si Cheng arrived home, the entire house was filled with the aroma of various foods. Yun Qi, meanwhile, sat at the dining table, watching the kitchen while secretly enjoying the food.

Seeing his wife, who had gained even more weight, Si Cheng seemed to understand why he had been secretly eating. During her prenatal checkup in Q City, the doctor had already warned her to control her diet as much as possible. For some reason, since Yunqi became pregnant, she hadn't experienced any pregnancy symptoms, only a huge appetite; she wanted to eat everything in sight. Because she ate so much, her belly looked like a balloon being inflated, a sight that was alarming to behold.

"Brother Cheng, you're home!" Yunqi greeted Sicheng as he entered the door, and tried to take the bag from his hand.

"Don't move, I'll do it myself." Si Cheng was terrified. "Mom, I'm back." He greeted his mother-in-law in the kitchen and gently helped Yun Qi to the sofa.

How have you been lately? Have you been feeling unwell anywhere?

"I'm always hungry, but Mom never lets me eat anything," Yunqi immediately complained.

"That's because you're eating too much. Eat smaller, more frequent meals instead of constantly stuffing your mouth with food." Hearing Yunqi's complaint, her mother felt helpless. It wasn't that she didn't want her to eat, but she was afraid that if she ate too much, it would make childbirth difficult.

"But I'm still hungry." Yun Qi looked at Si Cheng pitifully. Seeing her looking at him like that, Si Cheng felt a pang of heartache and wished he could cook her a delicious meal right away. His body betrayed him as he walked toward the kitchen, only to be chased out by his mother-in-law as soon as he entered.

"Don't believe Xiaoqi's words. Her mouth is practically never stopping. If we don't keep an eye on her and make her eat less, she sometimes takes out food she's prepared from her space. I have to sleep with her every night now, just in case she eats and drinks too much at night." Hearing her mother's complaint, Yunqi covered her face with her hands in shame.

"Sweetheart! We just need to give birth to these two little gluttons. They must be too greedy. No wonder Xiao Qi is like this." Si Cheng coaxed softly.

At this moment, Yun's father also returned carrying large and small bags. He was very happy to see Sicheng. After greeting him, he asked Yun's mother to make a couple more snacks to go with the drinks. He hadn't been drinking outside for a long time, and it was a rare treat for his son-in-law to come back so he could satisfy his craving for alcohol.

However, she cruelly rejected her mother's offer. Now, during this special period, everything is for Yunqi's sake, and she must remain clear-headed at all times.

Although he couldn't drink alcohol, Yun's mother cooked several of her signature dishes, and even Yun Qi was allowed to eat an extra bowl of rice.

"Have you handed over all the company matters?" After dinner, the father-in-law and son-in-law sat on the sofa, each holding a cup of tea, chatting.

"Everything's done, so I don't need to go over anymore. I can finally spend time with Yunqi welcoming the baby." Thinking about the upcoming little ones, Si Cheng's whole demeanor softened.
