Xie Yuancheng, who had been leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed, woke up laughing after hearing what I said.
"Forget it, I'd rather cook. Ying'er should just focus on taking care of Yu'er and our future little daughter."
I covered my eyes with a cushion: "Waaah, Yuancheng doesn't believe me."
"Stop joking. Whether I believe I can do well with Ying'er is a different matter."
"I'm not as useless as you say."
Xie Yuancheng leaned closer: "Fine, Ying'er is perfectly capable of working in the kitchen. It's just that I cherish you and am afraid you'll suffer, so I'm forcing you to stay by my side and not let you cook."
I pinched his fair and tender face: "You're the only one who knows how to make me happy."
"If I don't make my wife happy, I won't have any good days."
I don't argue with people who have a petty temper. "Quickly project Yu'er, I want to see him."
"Not now, Yu'er's laughter will attract those monsters."
I sat up straight and opened my tablet to continue reading the news: "They really did come into the city. All the surveillance cameras in the city are on, and everyone can see the situation in their area."
Xie Yuancheng turned it off: "Ying'er, you're already scared, and you're still holding it while watching."
"Then tell me, when will they arrive here?"
"It'll probably be soon; these monsters move very fast."
"What about the others?"
Xie Yuancheng also shook his head. He pursed his lips and said, "Even if we're worried, there's nothing we can do to save them. These were developed by the people of 2020 themselves. Only the people who developed them can stop them."
I get angry just thinking about the people who developed these monsters: "They've already achieved great success, but they've harmed countless people by researching these things."
Seeing that I was sulking, Xie Yuancheng hugged me and said, "Okay, don't be angry. I'm not that kind of person."
"Yes, it's just that seeing innocent people suffer like this makes me feel indignant on their behalf."
Xie Yuancheng patted my back: "Good boy, it's good to have a sense of justice, but you have to use it in the right place."
"I miss home. If I were at the Marquis's mansion right now, I could hold Yu'er and sleep."
Xie Yuancheng is at it again: "You can't sleep while holding me, right?"
“Yu’er is our son, how can you be jealous of him, you petty marquis.”
Xie Yuancheng squeezed my fingers: "If I'm stingy, then you, my wife who cheats on me everywhere, don't you ever think about me?"
"I hold you while I sleep every day, and you're still not satisfied."
"I should be the one holding Ying'er while she sleeps, but you've turned it upside down."
I saw Xie Yuancheng deliberately picking a fight, so I quickly changed the subject and turned on the security camera at the door. Unexpectedly, I saw an ugly face as soon as I turned it on.
"Oh my god, it looks so ugly."
"Ying'er, don't be afraid. You have to stay with me now and don't separate, or the isolation box will disappear."
I nodded and threw myself into his arms, hugging his arm: "Yuancheng, did they come inside? I saw them open the door and come in, but I couldn't hear them."
"We're inside the isolation box, so of course we can only see what's on the monitor."
I hugged his arm even tighter. Even if the sofa suddenly broke, as long as I held his hand, I wouldn't be able to leave.
To distract myself, I leaned against Xie Yuancheng's chest and listened to his heartbeat.
"Ying'er, does it sound nice?"
"It sounds so good, it makes me forget everything else."
"Even I don't want to anymore?"
"I'm leaning against your heart, of course I miss you terribly."
Xie Yuancheng ruffled my hair while tapping his phone with his other hand. When I had enough, I leaned over to look, and it was covered in red dots.
"Why haven't I seen these before?"
Xie Yuancheng pulled his hand away from my arm and guided my hand to touch the screen: "Ying'er, tap it."
When I clicked in, I saw that the monsters were rummaging through our room. "My poor flowers, they've all been trampled."
If we were here, even if Xie Yuancheng was highly skilled in martial arts, there were many of them, and they were tall and carrying a laser gun. He could escape, but with me as a burden, it would be difficult for him to even run out of the door, let alone escape.
"If things are like this here, aren't the people in the other rooms going to be in big trouble?"
Xie Yuancheng held my hand tightly: "Don't worry, Master has hidden what they are looking for inside the house, which is why he opened the door to go in. The other houses are all closed, so you can't get in."
"What is that?"
"A system in outer space that can make someone famous worldwide and become a savior."
"It's just a broken system, what's so great about finding it?"
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng started to whine again: "How can you be so silly? Having this system is like having the latest research and development tools. Everyone will be impressed by his world-class talent. He can control not only the systems of all countries, but also people."
I hate people who control others the most: "They're just like the prince, no good people."
“The Crown Prince doesn’t have such great ambitions. He just wants the Great Zhao Dynasty and someone else.”
I hugged Xie Yuancheng's waist, not wanting to watch those ugly bastards ransacking the place anymore; everything in the room was in disarray.
"Who would he do this for?"
Xie Yuancheng put his phone aside and placed his hand near my face: "I'm telling you, you can't become famous."
"I don't care about the person he likes, and she's unlikely to be a good person."
"Ying'er, you can't say that about her."
I quickly stood up, grabbing his arm as if to keep quiet, afraid of giving myself away: "Who is that? Tell me."
"Your mother."
"My mother?" I stared wide-eyed. "My mother may still be attractive, but she's still a woman!"
Xie Yuancheng used his other hand to gently pinch my nose: "It's Consort Ji, but if your mother-in-law finds out what you said about her, I'm worried you won't be able to enter the Ji residence anymore."
"Her? How could that be? No matter how beautiful my mother is, she has the Emperor's protection. There's no way the Crown Prince would covet her. They."
I panicked. That scoundrel of a prince, he'd get involved with all sorts of people.
"Alright, don't worry. I'm just afraid you'll get sick if you get angry." Xie Yuancheng tried to calm me down. "This is what my sister told me. It was when they went to Linyang to see Yu'er together."
What happened to them?
"It's alright. My sister saw it, so he didn't succeed. After that, he was thinking about how to get rid of my sister. Otherwise, do you think Consort Ji could have exempted the Crown Princess from punishment with just a word? The Empress hasn't dared to touch her in all these years. Besides the Emperor's favor, the most important thing is that the Crown Prince is manipulating things behind the scenes."
"That damned bastard, who needs someone protecting them? Humph!"
"Alright, I shouldn't have told you so soon. Don't be angry."
I turned to the side and caught a glimpse of a pair of eyes flashing across the wall, but I didn't have time to get angry.
“Yuancheng, there was a pair of eyes flashing across the wall just now.”
