"Hehehehe..." Yang Ming's words made Wei Qingqing giggle. "Honey, don't be so direct. Getting straight to the point makes me feel embarrassed..."

"Get out of here, get out of here..." Aunt Liu said with a laugh, shooing the two of them out impatiently.

"Alright, alright, we're leaving..." Yang Ming smiled, took Wei Qingqing's little hand, stood up from the chair, walked to Liu Sao's side, kissed the little one on the cheek, glared at Liu Sao, and said, "I'm warning you, don't you dare let my son get too thin while I'm gone..."

"Yes, yes, I know..." Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Yang Ming, "You guys should just get lost..."

"Son, if anyone dares to bully or mistreat you while Mom is away, tell Mom when Mom comes back, and Mom will definitely avenge you..." Wei Qingqing kissed the little guy on the cheek, gave Aunt Liu a provocative look, and said.

"If it weren't for your big belly, I would have kicked you..." Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Wei Qingqing and said.

Aunt Liu escorted the two of them all the way to the World Tree, watching them disappear through the portal. She stood there for a long time before finally carrying her son home, feeling lost and dejected.

The temperature can be adjusted by a thermostat, so Yang Ming's backyard is warm in winter and cool in summer. As soon as the couple appeared in the backyard, a cool breeze blew on their faces. Due to the time difference between the two places, it was only just nightfall.

"Shall we leave now or tomorrow?" Yang Ming asked, looking at Wei Qingqing's pretty face.

"Let's set off tonight..." Wei Qingqing looked at the sky, a hint of nostalgia in her expression, and nodded slightly.

"Okay..." Yang Ming smiled slightly, put his arm around her shoulder, and the two walked out of the valley together.

The valley was already lush and green, with various trees and flowers growing exceptionally well. The refreshing air and alluring fragrance of flowers allowed people to fully appreciate the charm of nature. Dim yellow lights were installed on both sides of the road, illuminating the path in the darkness.

"Daddy, Mommy..." Xiao Bao'er's voice rang out as they reached the outside of the hot spring valley. The little guy was wearing a large bathrobe, his hair was wet, and he was holding a bunch of slightly green grapes in his hand. He walked out of the hot spring valley with a charming smile.

"Bao'er..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, "You've stolen grapes again, haven't you??? How many times have I told you??? Wait until they're fully ripe before picking them..."

"Hehe, I was soaking in the hot spring, but they kept hanging down on my head, within easy reach. I couldn't resist..." Xiao Bao'er giggled.

"You little rascal..." Yang Ming chuckled.

"Hehe..." Xiao Bao'er giggled.

"Go see your mom right away, she gave birth to a little brother for you..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile, pinching the little guy's nose.

"Little brother???" Xiao Bao'er's eyes lit up. "Then Bao'er will go see the little brother..." With that, she ran off in a flash and disappeared.

It's been quite a while since Xiao Bao'er has seen his mother.

"Hehe, let's go..." Yang Ming put his arm around Wei Qingqing's shoulder and said with a smile.

"No, I'll go pick a bunch of grapes too..." Wei Qingqing said, pulling Yang Ming into the hot spring valley.

The hot spring valley is lush and green, with fresh and pleasant air. Under the dim yellow lights, various flowers and plants compete for beauty and constantly exude fragrance. The fruit trees are laden with fruit, especially a large pomegranate tree, whose branches are bent over by the weight of the red lantern-like pomegranates.

"Our backyard is always 20 or 30 degrees Celsius all year round, so the fruit trees have changed their habits..." Wei Qingqing said casually as she picked two bunches of red grapes under the grape trellis.

"Yeah..." Yang Ming nodded, but his eyes glanced at the pool, and he couldn't help but grin, "That little white rabbit has run into our pool again..."

"Huh???" Upon hearing this, Wei Qingqing looked into the pool and indeed saw a small white dragon lying at the bottom. She couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "It must have been your good daughter's doing..."

"Never mind them, let's go..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

As the two left the hot spring valley, a small white dragon head suddenly emerged from the water. Its bright eyes watched the two figures disappear behind the trees. Suddenly, it leaped up, opened its mouth wide, and ate a bunch of hanging grapes. Then, due to gravity, it fell into the pool, causing a splash.

Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing ate grapes, occasionally wincing and grimacing at the sourness, and slowly left the back garden.

"What are we going to do? A campervan or a sports car?" Yang Ming asked.

Yang Ming owns a car factory that produces various models of cars, but only buses actually appear on the domestic market.

"Let's not ride in a sports car, it's too cramped. Let's ride in a campervan instead..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Okay..." Yang Ming nodded. "Go pack some things, I'll go get the car..."

"Hmm..." Wei Qingqing nodded, pushed open the back gate, and went inside.

Yang Ming's RV has been thoroughly modified by the bio-engineered girls. The entire vehicle's power system has been modified to be exceptionally powerful, with a top speed of 800 kilometers per hour. The intelligent system has also been replaced with a bio-engineered AI. The interior space is spacious, and the facilities are exceptionally complete and sophisticated. It can be said that this RV is now practically a mobile house.

Wei Qingqing left the front yard and, with Yang Ming's help, boarded the RV. She didn't bring much with her, just a laptop, a high-definition DV camera, and a few changes of clothes.

"Where to go first?" Yang Ming asked softly as he sat with Wei Qingqing on the large sofa bed.

"Let's go to that low-rent housing in the city first..." Wei Qingqing had a deep impression of Yang Ming's low-rent housing back then.

"Okay..." Yang Ming nodded and shouted into the air, "Lower-rent housing in the city..."

With Yang Ming's command, the RV slowly started moving.

The car windows were blacked out, making it impossible to see inside from the outside, but there was no restriction on the view from the inside. Under the dim light of the wall lamps inside the car, the couple snuggled together, quietly enjoying the scenery outside.

"Zhengjia Village has really developed quite quickly..." Yang Ming exclaimed, looking at the elegant and beautiful village that had been built.

"Hmm..." Wei Qingqing curled up her legs, leaned against Yang Ming, and stared blankly at the scenery flashing by outside the window.

"I heard that Zhengjia Village, Liujia Village, and several other nearby villages are planning to join forces to develop this place into a tourist destination..." Yang Ming said.

"Who cares? Let them build their own, we'll live our own lives..." Whether it was a habit or something else, as soon as it got dark outside, she felt sleepy, even if she wasn't sleepy.

"A minor hermit hides in the wilderness, a major hermit hides in the court. We're living in seclusion here, which is quite a grand place..." Yang Ming put his arm around her shoulder, shaking his head and teasing her.

"Pfft..." Wei Qingqing was indeed amused by him, and rolled her eyes at him, "Vulgar..."

"You're quite delicate, but you still ended up being carried home by a rough guy like me, right?" Yang Ming laughed.

"You rascal..." Wei Qingqing thought of how she had teased Yang Ming about getting their marriage certificate, and her cheeks immediately flushed red. She snuggled closer to him.

"When do you expect to arrive at the destination?" Yang Ming asked the air.

"Dear Master, Bio-Intelligence No.1 is at your service. At the current speed, it will take three hours to reach our destination..." A child's voice rang out in the carriage.

"Hmm, hurry up a bit, we must arrive at our destination before 11 PM..." Yang Ming checked the time; it was already 8:30 PM, and said.

"No problem, my dear master..." The child's voice was filled with joy, and the scenery outside the car window seemed to be rushing past even faster.

The RV sped along, finally entering the city at 10:30 p.m., and then quickly headed towards the low-rent housing.

"Stop the car, stop the car..." Wei Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted loudly.

"Dear mistress, we haven't arrived at our destination yet..." The child's voice sounded a little aggrieved, but the car slowly came to a stop. One should listen to the master's words, and even more so to the mistress's.

"Look..." Wei Qingqing said excitedly, pointing to a restaurant that was open for business outside the window.

"Isn't this the restaurant where we ate together?" Yang Ming recognized it at a glance; it was the place where she and Wei Qingqing first met.

Seeing this restaurant that held special significance for them, Wei Qingqing's heart trembled with excitement. She exclaimed, "Let's go! Let's go check it out. I didn't expect it to still be open so late..." As she spoke, she grabbed Yang Ming's hand and tried to get out of the car. The bio-engineered AI, with its inherent intelligence, automatically opened the car door.

The two got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant.

By this time, business had slowed down considerably, with only two tables occupied: one occupied by a young couple, and the other...

"Honey, it's an old acquaintance of ours..." Wei Qingqing said excitedly, pointing to a burly man with a scar on his face and wearing a black tank top pulled up to his chest.

"Hi, Scarface, how are you?" Yang Ming greeted the scarred man with a smile, then pulled Wei Qingqing to sit at a table by the window, which happened to be the same table where he and Wei Qingqing had sat before.

"Huh???" The scarred man put down his beer, glanced at Yang Ming, and after a careful look, finally recognized him. His eyes widened, and he slammed his hand on the table, sending dishes flying and spilling food everywhere. "So it's you, kid! You dare show your face in front of me??? In this area, no one has ever dared to insult me, Scarface, without being completely unharmed. You tell me, will you leave a hand or a foot???"

The couple at the other table had already left after the scarred man started banging on the table and yelling.

"Scarface, the young man is ignorant, don't take it to heart..." The restaurant owner stepped forward to persuade him. As a businessman, no one wants to lose money in their business.

"Get out of here, or I'll smash your restaurant..." The scarred man glared at the restaurant owner, who was immediately silenced.

"Scarface, do you still recognize me?" Wei Qingqing turned her head and smiled sweetly at the scarred man.

"Uh..." The scarred man was stunned when he saw Wei Qingqing's face. He could say with certainty that even the big stars on TV were incomparable to the woman in front of him.

The scarred man's gaze swept over Wei Qingqing, and when it landed on her stomach, tears streamed down his face. He grabbed his short hair and screamed wildly, "Why do all the good cabbages get eaten by pigs???"

The scarred man's words immediately caused a series of black lines to appear on Yang Ming's forehead.

"Pfft..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, glancing at Yang Ming, "You idiot, look how you've provoked Scarface..."

"Kid, you're not human..." The scarred man pointed at Yang Ming's nose, "How could you do this to such a beautiful girl??? You're worse than an animal..."

"Uh..." Yang Ming was sweating profusely. He had actually been scorned by a thug today.

"There was no other way. Originally, I didn't like him, but I remembered someone saying, 'Looking like that, how dare he come out and scare people???' So, I just randomly found someone to marry..." Wei Qingqing had a mischievous smile on her face, and then she winked at the scarred man.

"You..." The scarred man was taken aback at first, then the phrase flashed through his mind, and he was shocked. "You're that...that ugly monster???"

"Yes, I was really hurt at the time. And my husband was the only one who chased after me. I thought, this guy is alright. After getting to know him better, I found that we could barely get along, so I let him have his way..." Wei Qingqing deliberately added a hint of resentment to her tone.

"Speaking of which, we were able to get together thanks to Scarface as our matchmaker. This meal is on me, Scarface..." Yang Ming stood up with a smile, bowed deeply to the scarred man, and straightened up with a regretful expression. "It's a pity that blond-haired guy isn't here, otherwise I would have thanked him properly..."

"Aiya ya ya..." The scarred man was so frustrated that he went crazy. He remembered that it was Huang Mao who made him notice Wei Qingqing, and that's why he said those words. He was immediately filled with anger. "Huang Mao, Huang Mao, I'll skin you alive today..." With that, he ran out to settle the score with Huang Mao.

"Hahaha..." Yang Ming burst into laughter.

"Hehehe... I never expected we'd run into him here..." Wei Qingqing laughed until her stomach hurt.

"Slow down your laughter, slow down your laughter..." Yang Ming quickly tried to calm Wei Qingqing down. Wei Qingqing was about to give birth, and if she laughed too hard, her body would tremble violently, which could easily cause her water to break and result in premature birth.

"Boss, hurry up and bring me a few side dishes, two bowls of rice, and two glasses of draft beer..." Yang Ming said to the restaurant owner.

"Okay... just a moment..." With no bloodshed reported, the restaurant owner breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, then went to instruct the kitchen to prepare the food.

"This scarred guy is quite interesting..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"You bet..." Yang Ming laughed too, "What a pity, that little blondie is probably in for a rough time..."

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing giggled.

"The draft beer is here, and the food will be ready soon..." The restaurant owner brought two glasses of chilled draft beer and placed them on the table.

"It's been a while since I've had draft beer..." Wei Qingqing picked up a glass of draft beer, took a small sip, and a refreshing coolness instantly filled her mouth and flowed down her throat into her stomach.

"That's right, we've been drinking fruit wine lately, we haven't really been drinking much beer..." Yang Ming said with a smile, picking up another glass of draft beer and taking a big gulp.

Several simple home-style dishes and two bowls of rice were served one after another. The couple drank beer, ate the dishes, and chatted quietly.

"Boss, check please..." After finishing his meal, Yang Ming waved to the boss waiting behind the counter.

"That'll be twenty-five yuan in total..." the restaurant owner calculated and said.

"Let's include that scarred guy too..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Pfft..." Wei Qingqing couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Scarface.

"No need, no need, it's not the first time Scarface hasn't paid for his meals..." the restaurant owner said with a smile.

"Let's include him, after all, we just said we'd invite Scarface, we can't go back on our word, right?" Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"Alright, including Scarface's, it's fifty-two in total. You can give me fifty dollars..." the restaurant owner said after calculating.

"Thanks..." Yang Ming took out his wallet, pulled out a fifty-yuan note, paid the restaurant owner, and then left with Wei Qingqing.

After getting into the car, the two sat on the sofa bed. Thinking about the funny scene just now, Wei Qingqing couldn't help but throw herself into Yang Ming's arms and burst into laughter again.

"Hehe..." Yang Ming gently patted Wei Qingqing's back, "Stop laughing, stop laughing..." Then he said to the air, "Let's go right away, to the low-rent housing..."

"It's already 11:30 PM..." the child grumbled as the car slowly started moving.

Within minutes, the RV stopped in front of the low-rent housing. Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing got out and went inside. They turned on the light, and under the dim, yellowish incandescent bulb, the space remained cramped. Because it hadn't been lived in for a long time, a thick layer of dust had settled on it, and the air smelled musty. But to the two of them, this little house was incredibly cozy. It was here that they had truly become the closest of friends. Thinking back to the awkwardness of being cornered in the house by Sun Fangfang and Zhang Yang, and the hidden bedsheets…

Yang Ming took a rag, wiped a stool clean, placed it behind Wei Qingqing, and said, "Sit down..."

"It's a bit stuffy in here..." Wei Qingqing said as she sat down.

"Let's not open the window, otherwise the wind will blow in and we'll both be covered in mud. Let's sit here for a while and then leave..." Yang Ming said.

"Hmm..." Wei Qingqing nodded, "Shall we go to Sunshine Residential Area to rest today?"

"Of course, there are people watching over it, so at least it's habitable..." Yang Ming said.

The two sat for a while, then got up, left the house, locked the door, got into the car, and drove directly into the Sunshine Community.

Two cyborg girls are in charge of taking care of Yang Ming's home in the Sunshine Community. In addition to taking care of Yang Ming's home, they are also responsible for the cleanliness of Wei Jianguo's and Zhang Yang's homes.

After Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing entered the house, they took a shower and went straight to bed.

On the large bed, the two of them couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

"Husband, it's so good..." Wei Qingqing rested her head on Yang Ming's shoulder and murmured softly.

"What's so great???" Yang Ming asked.

"It's good to have you here..." Wei Qingqing sighed softly. "Let's go to the market tomorrow. It's a pity we didn't bring our truck, otherwise we could have bought some vegetables to sell..."

"Getting a truck isn't that hard, is it? If you want, we can get up early tomorrow and go to the market to sell vegetables..." Yang Ming said.

"You said we'd go to the market to sell vegetables tomorrow..." Wei Qingqing said happily.

"I meant it..." Yang Ming smiled, put his arm around her shoulder, "Let's go to sleep. We'll get up early tomorrow and get a good spot at the market..."

"Hmm..." Wei Qingqing nodded obediently and slowly closed her eyes.
