While Zou Nui and Peng Peng were busy setting up the table, Zou Wei walked out of the room with a thoughtful look. "Can we talk for a second?"
"If you are here to talk about H city, it's better you don't start," she mumbled, placing the dishes on the table. She glanced at her husband once more. He looked very serious. 'Seriously... why is he supporting Yue? It will only put our child in danger's way,'
"Just give me five minutes...." he literally begged.
'My poor husband... I've never seen him begging before...' She glanced up with a pouty look on her face. "Fine..."
Taking her hand gently, he led them back to their room. He closed the door behind him and sat on the bed comfortably. "Join me,"
"No, I'd much rather stand," she humped, glancing at the ceiling.
"Honey, please... look at me. I need you to listen to me," all of a sudden his tone went so low that even she was surprised.
She sat down next to him. "What is it?"
"You heard it from Yue, right. The world is going to end." He whispered nervously, holding her hand.
Zou Nui worriedly massaged his trembling hands. "Are you so worried about it? Don't be, we can survive this. We are well prepared and we have weapons...."
"N—no... I don't think we will..." he hugged her softly. "Yue.... he said he has lived in the future, but he has never once mentioned about us both..."
She pulled away from him... "You mean...."
"We might not survive this,"
Zou Nui froze in shock.. "Then Yue... he..."
"Yue will be all alone in this world... let him go to H city. At least if he finds his sister he might have a kin to depend on."
Tears started to drip down uncontrollably.
Zou Nui gently caressed his wet cheeks. "But what if he does not find her... then he will be even more disappointed.,"
"We must take this chance. If he does not find her... then I have no other option but to..... approve of that Fan guy. Yue said he will survive this apocalypse and will be the most powerful person." he mumbled with a deep grimace on his face. "oh god, those words felt like pure torture to me,"
"Really!! Really, you approve! oh my god," she jumped on and kissed his cheeks. "Darling Fan is a good guy."
"yeah..... so what? I still don't my child to be married off so soon. He just came back to us," he mumbled with a sad smile. "Am I being too selfish?"
She shook her head. "you are being a good father.. You always were a good at this parenting stuff. Just if you can control your temper, you are more tolerable,"
"Geez, that sounds so mean," he kissed her lips softly. "I am not mean though,"
"Yea, I guess you are what people call a tsundere." She giggled, hugging him softly.
Felling his sturdy shoulders, her eyes started to tear up. 'So I am going to leave this world, my child and husband, so soon..... I don't want that though... I want to be with them. I wasn't to see my baby Yue fall in love with Fan. I want to see my baby girl, Tian Ai... I have too many wishes to be fulfilled...'
"Honey, are you crying? I fell like shit doing this to you... I have no way of stopping that calamity.. I wish I could.....because I would want to spend an eternity with you...." he mumbled, sobbing softly.
"oh darling.. I am happy that I can be with you even in death.. That's all that matters,"
They both hugged each other and cried until their eyes puffed up
By the time they came back, Peng Peng had already arranged the table.
"Whoa who messed up your eye makeup, come here," he ran to her and gently arranged the smudged mascara. He then weirdly looked at Yue's dad. "Who dares make you cry," but even his eyes wore swollen and puffed up.
'Weird.... did they both fight. Is it because Yue wanted to go to H city? No... I fell like there is a deeper story to this,'
He helped wipe her eye makeup off and retouched it. As for Yue's dad, he just gave him an ice pack.
"the breakfast is going to get cold. I'll call the others,"
"hmmm let start," Zou Wei mumbled softly. "Peng Peng one second... If you are not able to find a house nearby, just stay here."
"Thanks for the offer but I prefer my own space."
Peng Peng went to the garden to find Qian still sitting there scrolling through his phone with a serious look on his face. "Hey what you doing?"
"eeee!!!" he jumped up high with his eyes wide open.
Peng Peng got a glance at his Google search question. He smiled softly.
Qian hid his phone behind him.
His cheeks were completely stained red at this point. "Peng-Peng.. ahh I just was..."
"just?" seeing his innocent reaction, he could not help but tease him further, "Were you watching porn? Oh baby, you are growing up," he kissed Qian's head. "Come on breakfast's ready,"
"y—yes..." Qian hesitantly followed him in.
Peng Peng then went to Yue's door. "Hey breakfast is ready. Come out!"
"Yes!" Yue cheerfully ran out. Even though he was still upset with his parents about his travel ban, he was still happy that he had hot food to eat every day.
"Where is he?" Peng Peng curiously looked inside the room. The sheets were neat and Yue also looked fresh and well sleepy in. 'good nothing bad happened. I can be well assured now,'
"Hmm, tell him breakfast is ready,"
"Fan Xui breakfast us ready," Yue shouted. "He will be out in a while. I think he might have a bad stomach. He is still in the bathroom," he mumbled and ran to the dining table.
Peng Peng glanced inside the room with his brows raised. "Something is fishy,'
