Interstellar Programmer 23
After Tao Yuan and Mai Wei returned to the main planet, they immediately registered their marriage and became a legal couple before the child was born, so that the child would have a legal identity after birth.
As for the wedding, just as Tao Yuan said, it will be held in a few years. Tao Yuan thought that he could have two more children during these years. After the wedding, when everyone knows that they are married, he might as well not have any more children.
When Tao Yuan's belly became too big to be hidden, he began to take sick leave, working at home and not going to the military region or department.
A few months later, under Mai Wei's arrangement and in complete secrecy, Tao Yuan secretly gave birth to the child in her own home. Postnatal psychiatric testing would provide a more accurate diagnosis, and the couple's first child's test revealed that the child not only had A1 psychic power, but also an enhanced one. This child, when he grew up, would possess formidable psychic powers, potentially even surpassing Mai Wei's.
Tao Yuan felt that his decision to keep the pregnancy a secret was the right one. Otherwise, he would have been filled with fear and suspicion until the child grew up and could fend for himself. Besides Mai Wei's parents, no more than ten people knew about their child, and all of them were Mai Wei's trusted confidants, having worked for him for many years.
After the child is two months old, Tao Yuan will prepare to return to the military region to work, and the child will be sent to Mai Wei's mother for care in a few days. Whenever he has time, Tao Yuan will go back to accompany the child.
After Tao Yuan returned to the main planet with Mai Wei, Mai Wei took Tao Yuan to meet his mother. Mai Wei's mother was a lady with a very gentle personality. After meeting Tao Yuan, she treated him very well. When Tao Yuan was hiding and waiting for the birth of his child, she often secretly visited Tao Yuan.
Mai Wei actually had two younger brothers, but they were both sent by their father to other planets for training, and they rarely had the opportunity to return to the Imperial Star. Therefore, even his two younger brothers were unaware that Mai Wei was married and had children.
Although Mai Wei's mother was born into a noble family, she personally raised three children and was very experienced in taking care of children. She also had the help of two nannies and a lot of maids at home, so Tao Yuan felt very relieved to leave the children to her care.
But suddenly having another child in the family would definitely arouse suspicion from others, so they said to the outside world that the child was the child of a distant relative, and because Mai Wei's mother was lonely, she took the children in to raise, and there were not just one, but three in total. In order to cover up for this child, Mai Wei's mother also adopted two orphans, so that her eldest grandson would have two playmates since childhood. It is a bit like the existence of a study partner in ancient times. When Mai Wei was a few years old, there were also children from real distant relatives who studied with him. Now those people have grown up and have been sent to other planets to hone their abilities.
Tao Yuan held the child and patted him gently, coaxing him to sleep before returning to bed and waiting for Mai Wei to come back.
There was definitely no way Mai Wei could come back every night. Every time he came back, he had to be sneaky. The two of them were obviously legal, but they acted as secretive as if they were cheating on each other.
Because Tao Yuan was bored lying down, she sent a message to Mai Wei. The content of the message was: My husband is not at home tonight, do you want to come over?
Mai Wei was driving. He clicked on the prompt light and couldn't help laughing after reading the content. Although he was eager to return to their home as soon as possible, the car was already driving at the fastest speed.
Before Mai Wei returned home, Tao Yuan dimmed the bedroom lights to the lowest setting, almost like moonlight, and played the kind of ambiguous light music you see in adultery dramas. Finally, she stripped naked and took a blurry selfie while lying on the bed. She sent it to Mai Wei with the caption: "Mr. Mai Wei, please shower downstairs before coming up. My husband might catch you using the bathroom in the bedroom. Let's get this over with quickly, otherwise it would be terrible if my husband comes back and finds out."
Mai Wei drove the car into the gate and passed through the front yard garden. After stopping at the main building, he opened the car door and got out. Immediately, a bodyguard came out from the dark and drove Mai Wei's car into the garage.
As Tao Yuan requested, Mai Wei took a shower in the guest room downstairs, then went up to the master bedroom on the third floor wearing a bathrobe.
Tao Yuan was lying on the bed covered with a quilt. Mai Wei took off his bathrobe, got on the bed and hugged him.
Tao Yuan hugged Mai Wei's shoulders, bit his ear and said, "You better hurry up. If my husband comes back suddenly, it will be a disaster."
Mai Wei caressed him lightly and then asked, "Do you want to have an affair with me so much?"
"Of course, you came here secretly, didn't you? If this isn't an affair, what is it?" Tao Yuan wrapped her arms around his waist and urged, "Faster, faster, deeper."
Mai Wei kissed Tao Yuan deeply for a while, then picked him up and got out of bed. Tao Yuan was startled and immediately hugged his neck tightly, "What are you doing?!"
Mai Wei carried Tao Yuan to the balcony. The balcony outside their bedroom was very large, with many flowers and plants, and a very comfortable hammock. Tao Yuan would sometimes read a book and bask in the sun on the balcony after the child fell asleep.
Mai Wei put Tao Yuan on the thick hammock, and the hammock began to sway immediately. The night wind blew on Tao Yuan's skin, making his body more sensitive.
Mai Wei whispered in Tao Yuan's ear, "This is how it feels like having an affair."
……………………
Before daybreak, Mai Wei was about to rush back to the military area. Tao Yuan felt that the person she was leaning on was gone, and she woke up immediately. With half-open eyes, she said drowsily, "Be careful when you go downstairs. If you run into my husband, you must hide."
Mai Wei had a smile on his face. He sat down on the bed, leaned over to kiss Tao Yuan on the face and said, "I understand."
"My husband seldom comes home. When he is not at home, I will send you a message and then you come over." Tao Yuan said in a hoarse voice, half asleep and half awake.
"Okay, go to sleep quickly. I will be careful not to be seen when I leave. When your husband is not around, I will come back to have an affair with you." Mai Wei cooperated with his performance.
Only after watching Tao Yuan close his eyes and fall asleep did Mai Wei get up and leave.
…………………………
A few days later, after Mai Wei's mother took the child away, Tao Yuan went back to the military region with Mai Wei to work.
The two of them were still living together as lovers in the military area, so they did not live together openly, but in fact Tao Yuan almost never returned to his dormitory in the military area, and lived directly in Mai Wei's house.
Apart from their own affairs, the two of them were just like an ordinary couple, occasionally having fun. During holidays, they would secretly go back to see their child. In order to conceal the fact that the child's mental strength was A1, the family also took great pains.
A few months later, Mai Wei finished a full day of training and Tao Yuan also finished work. Mai Wei ordered some food and asked the military district restaurant to deliver it. The two of them ate dinner while talking.
"In half a month, I will go on a mission to the southwestern border star cluster. Do you want to go with me?" Mai Wei asked.
"Is that even a question? If I can go, of course I want to go with you." Tao Yuan said as a matter of course, then suddenly paused and asked, "Are you going on a mission that requires secrecy?"
"right."
"In the past, they only took me on public missions. They never took me on missions that required confidentiality. Why are you suddenly taking me this time?"
"This mission is not dangerous, and it is one of the easier missions I have. I applied for a mission specifically for you to go on together." Mai Wei said.
"Bruno and my parents are all in the southwest border, right?" Tao Yuan had already guessed the reason.
"Yes, do you want to go and see how they are doing now?"
"Of course I have to go. Now is the best time. I've been wondering recently when I'll have the chance to go and see how miserable they are. I was just looking for time to tell you about this, but you got ahead of me again." Tao Yuan felt that it was good to have a lover to rely on. He could get everything he cared about done without having to worry about it.
"Please prepare your work and hand it over. You will leave in half a month and it will probably take more than a month for you to return."
"Okay." Tao Yuan was arranging the work for the next half month in his mind while eating.
……………………
After arriving at the western border star cluster, Mai Wei completed the mission first and arranged Tao Yuan in the garrison military district. Because Tao Yuan also had some important task arrangements, he was naturally approved to come along.
After both of them finished what they were supposed to do ahead of time, the remaining two days were their rest time, and also the time for Tao Yuan to complete the things he had to do on this trip to the Western Border Star Cluster.
Most of the nobles and officials of the Nandi Kingdom were sent to the border star cluster to serve their sentences after being found guilty. The number of years they were sentenced was based on the extent of their crimes. After serving their sentences, they could return to the Nandi star cluster, but they could only be ordinary citizens and could not become nobles again.
Bruno's family was sentenced to life imprisonment, a truly lifelong sentence, meaning they could not be released until their death. The original owner's parents and eldest brother were sentenced to thirty years. After thirty years, they would be reduced to ordinary civilians, and it would be difficult for them to support themselves.
Tao Yuan first went to see Bruno. Bruno had one arm and one leg broken and was locked in a small room most of the time. Because he was mentally unstable, he had tried to commit suicide several times but was rescued every time. Now he didn't even have the ability to commit suicide.
Tao Yuan was too lazy to meet Bruno. He took a look outside the room where Bruno was imprisoned and saw that he looked dazed. He figured there was nothing he could say to him. Seeing his miserable state with his own eyes was enough to accomplish something, so he took a look and left. He mainly wanted to meet the original owner's parents. Besides seeing their miserable state with his own eyes, he also had some things to say to them in person. After that, he left.
Tao Yuan sat on the sofa in the meeting room, waiting for those people to be sent to meet him. There was a glass wall between them, so sound could penetrate it completely.
After the original owner's parents were brought in, their eyes immediately became excited when they saw Tao Yuan, but because they had been scared by the lesson, they did not dare to show it and could only walk over and sit on the chair.
"Yi Yu, Yi Yu, you are here to save us, right?!" The original owner's mother looked at Tao Yuan with excitement and expectation.
Tao Yuan took a sip of black tea, then said slowly, "What you did before is the reason why you must bear these punishments now. Every official and noble who committed a crime is being punished for their actions, and you must do the same. I have no way to save you."
"You are working for the Southern Alliance Empire now, and you are so capable. You can talk to them and ask them to release us. They will definitely agree!" The suffering that the original owner's father had endured over the past year had made him so haggard that his original appearance was no longer recognizable. When he thought about having to live like this for another 29 years, he wanted to die.
"That's right!" The original owner's mother also said excitedly, "Go tell the leaders of your military region. We are your biological parents. They will definitely listen if you tell them!"
"I won't save you, but after you get out, I will give you money so that you can at least survive and not starve to death. It can be regarded as a way to repay your kindness in raising you." Tao Yuan looked at them and said, "But I will only give you enough living expenses to feed the two of you. I won't care about anyone else."
"We know you've been very sensible since you were little. Even if you hate us in your heart, we gave birth to you and raised you. Please help us this last time. We promise that we won't come back to you for anything in the future. If you don't help us, we might not be able to leave here alive!"
"Impossible, even if I could save you, I wouldn't save you. I'll say it one last time, everything you're enduring now is what you deserve. Simply put, it's your own fault. Back then, you would rather force me to death than use me to exchange for benefits. Now, just think of me as having been forced to death a long time ago and there's no way I can save you." Tao Yuan continued to look at them with a cold face.
The door on Tao Yuan's side suddenly opened, and Mai Wei walked in from outside. He looked at Tao Yuan and asked, "Is it over?"
"I've said everything I needed to say to them. Seeing their current fate with my own eyes, I'm relieved. From now on, these people can be slowly forgotten." Tao Yuan stood up and said, "Please remember one thing for me. If these two can leave here alive, give them enough money to feed themselves."
Mai Wei turned his head to look at the two people over there, then put his arm around Tao Yuan's shoulders and prepared to walk out. "These things and these people are not worth your remembering. Just leave them to me."
Seeing Tao Yuan and the others about to leave, the original owner's mother immediately rushed up and leaned against the glass wall, crying anxiously, "Yi Yu! Please, save Mom! Mom really can't stand the life here anymore, please take Mom away! Please!!"
"Yi Yu, Yi Yu!" The original owner's father also rushed to the glass wall, his whole body trembling with anxiety as he said, "We all know we were wrong. We shouldn't have treated you like that before. Please forgive us! Save us! Do you have the heart to let us die in here?!"
"The old me, the Yi Yu you gave birth to, is dead. Don't dream that the dead Yi Yu can save you." Tao Yuan said to them.
"Let's go." Mai Wei hugged Tao Yuan and walked out.
"Yi Yu! Yi Yu! You can't leave! Save us! Save us!!"
……………………
Two days later, Tao Yuan and Mai Wei returned to the main planet. Tao Yuan had not seen his child for more than a month and missed him very much.
In this life, Tao Yuan understood the original owner's hatred and wishes, and then he just needed to achieve his own happiness.
For Tao Yuan, happiness is something he is already accustomed to, but he still cherishes it very much, because he does not know, let alone predict, when such happiness will suddenly end.
