After cleaning for an hour, Yang Ming finally finished cleaning all the rooms and changed the sheets on the beds, so there would be no problem sleeping there that night.

"What are you doing???" Yang Ming finished tidying up the house, found Wei Qingqing on the balcony, and hugged her waist from behind.

"It really does look out to the sea..." Wei Qingqing leaned back against Yang Ming, pointing to the distant line of waves, "You really can see the sea from here..."

It's already dark, and luckily Wei Qingqing has good eyesight, so she can see the sea from this distance.

"Hehe...this proves the real estate company wasn't exaggerating..." Yang Ming chuckled, giving her a light kiss on the cheek. "It's getting dark, want to eat something?"

"Let's have barbecue. We're in Nandaihe, of course we have to have barbecue..." Wei Qingqing turned her head, glanced at Yang Ming, and smiled sweetly.

"Let's go, let's have some barbecue first, and then take a stroll around Tianma Square..." Yang Ming said with a smile, putting his arm around Wei Qingqing.

The two locked the door, went downstairs, left the community, and found a secluded spot to retrieve the RV. Regardless of whether they would need it tonight, it would at least be more convenient if they needed a vehicle. In case of an emergency and they urgently needed a vehicle, especially when there were people around... the sudden appearance of a vehicle out of nowhere, while quite magical, could definitely cause a commotion or even panic.

After retrieving the RV, they let it return to the Wanghai Garden community on its own, and the couple strolled around to find a food stall for barbecue.

"Shall we go to the same restaurant we went to last year?" Yang Ming asked casually, looking around for a food stall.

"Let's go there..." Wei Qingqing had a deep impression of the food stall she visited last year, all because of the girl who sang for money...

"Okay..." Yang Ming didn't care where they ate.

"I want to eat grilled squid..." Wei Qingqing said sweetly, clinging to Yang Ming's arm.

"Okay..." Yang Ming nodded with a smile.

"I want to eat lamb skewers too..." Wei Qingqing pressed her advantage, her voice becoming increasingly sweet and charming.

"Okay..." Yang Ming nodded with a smile.

"You're just like my dad... You're spoiling your daughter, aren't you???" Wei Qingqing rolled her eyes, lightly pinching Yang Ming's arm, but secretly she was delighted. After all, what woman doesn't want her husband to love and pamper her?

"But you've never called me Dad before???" Yang Ming's smile turned mischievous.

"Are you asking for a beating??? Be careful my dad finds out, he'll make you buy apples again..." Wei Qingqing gave him a hard slap, and couldn't help but laugh as he grimaced.

"Hehe..." Yang Ming's skin was thick and tough, so he didn't really feel any pain. He thought back to the first time he went to his father-in-law's house... his clumsiness and his father-in-law's nervousness made him laugh.

"You're still laughing???" Wei Qingqing knew perfectly well why Yang Ming was laughing, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "I'm hungry, hurry up and take me to eat barbecue, otherwise, when I get back, I'll have a good talk with my dad and make you buy apples every day..."

"Yes, yes, beautiful lady, let's hurry up. Your husband has already spotted the food stalls up ahead..." Yang Ming said, gesturing with his arm outstretched and pointing to a brighter spot not far away.

"Now that you've seen it, what are you standing there for? Do you expect me to carry you on my back?" Anyone can put on airs, right? Wei Qingqing rolled her big eyes, put one hand on her hip, and said fiercely.

"Pfft..." The couple's affected mannerisms amused the passersby on the roadside, and many men and women watched them with great interest.

"Yes..." Yang Ming bowed slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a grin, "Madam, please follow me..." As he spoke, he took Wei Qingqing's little hand and walked towards the food stall in front of him.

"This couple is really interesting..." A young girl held a young man's hand, her eyes shining as she watched Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing's backs.

"Madam, please come with your husband for a bath together..." The young man immediately understood, bowed slightly, and gestured for them to go together, naturally pointing towards the sea.

"A bath for two???" Black lines immediately appeared on the girl's smooth forehead. "Look at him, even though his words are a bit nonsensical, at least they sound somewhat refined. And look at you, what kind of talk is that??? It sounds like you're being a pervert..."

"Playing with a wife isn't considered being a hooligan. Even if it is, it's legal..." the young man blinked, looking completely innocent.

"Hahahaha..." The surrounding pedestrians immediately burst into laughter.

"You..." The girl blushed with embarrassment, stomped her foot in anger, and was about to teach the young man a lesson.

"I'm telling the truth..." The young man's eyes flashed with a sly smile, and he took off running.

"Stop right there..." The girl was furious and quickly chased after him.

A young couple chased each other, leaving behind a trail of laughter.

"Youth is wonderful..." Some older people, watching the young people's joyful antics, couldn't help but feel a pang of envy, thinking back to their own youth when they were just as lively.

"What would you two like to eat?" Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing arrived at the food stall, and as soon as they sat down, a waiter came over with a menu.

"Grilled squid, lamb skewers, one hundred yuan's worth of each, please..." Wei Qingqing said directly without even taking the menu.

"Would you like a drink?" The waiter glanced at Wei Qingqing's large belly and wisely refrained from recommending any beverages.

"Two draft beers..." Yang Ming said.

"Ah..." The waiter nodded, but his gaze lingered on Wei Qingqing's stomach, clearly reminding Yang Ming that his wife seemed to be pregnant, and questioning whether he dared to give her alcohol.

"Hehe, it's mine, she doesn't drink..." Yang Ming chuckled as he watched the waiter wink at him. "Hurry up, we're going to the beach after we finish eating..."

"Okay, please wait a moment..." The waiter smiled professionally, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

"This girl is not bad..." Wei Qingqing glanced at the waiter and said with a smile.

"Hmm...it's not bad..." Yang Ming nodded, put his hand in his pocket, and pulled out a small wine bottle, about the size of his palm. "This is for you, don't drink too much..."

"Hmph..." The moment Wei Qingqing saw the wine bottle, her eyes lit up. She took the bottle, shook it slightly, and her face fell. "How come it's only half a bottle? You're too good at fooling people..." Her little mouth pouted.

"Make do, do you want to get drunk and cause a scene in the street?" Yang said, giving her a knowing look.

"Too little, not even enough for one bite..." Wei Qingqing looked at Yang Ming with pleading eyes.

"Not enough?" Yang Ming raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile spreading across his face.

"Enough..." Wei Qingqing saw Yang Ming's wicked smile and immediately hid the wine bottle in her arms, as if she was afraid that Yang Ming would take it back.

"Hehe, today was going pretty well, but unfortunately I ran into two crazy women..." Yang Ming smiled slightly, resting his elbows on the table.

"Huh?? You mean, the two of them know each other???" Wei Qingqing reacted quickly and immediately understood the meaning behind Yang Ming's words.

"They're more than just acquaintances; they're practically sworn sisters..." Yang Ming's expression was somewhat bitter. Just then, the waiter brought over two glasses of draft beer. Yang Ming picked up one, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.

"They're not familiar with us, and we don't have much of a relationship..." Wei Qingqing thought Yang Ming was a little disappointed because he had been deceived.

"I know that, I am..." Yang Ming sighed, "Someone has taken a liking to me, and they're planning to pursue me and become my mistress. I didn't even know I was so charming..."

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing wasn't worried about any of this at all. Upon hearing this, she laughed heartlessly. "This just proves that my judgment is extremely accurate. To avoid any unforeseen complications or unforeseen problems, I acted swiftly and decisively, taking you down in the shortest amount of time. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't intervened in time, I really don't know which vixen would be getting you now..."

"Then what kind of fairy are you???" Yang Ming laughed.

"Me???" Wei Qingqing's beautiful eyes widened, and she put on a fierce expression. However, being more beautiful than a flower, this expression didn't make her look fierce at all; instead, it had a touch of cuteness and naivety. "I am Zhong Kui, specializing in exorcising demons and capturing monsters..."

"Pfft..." Yang Ming almost burst out laughing. "You call yourself Zhong Kui??? Zhong Kui is a ghost catcher, okay???"

"Can't I play the role of a demon hunter?" Wei Qingqing pouted, glared at Yang Ming, and said.

"Okay, okay..." Yang Ming smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Pfft..." Wei Qingqing couldn't help but laugh as she watched Yang Ming nod like a kowtow.

The skewers were served quickly, and the two of them stopped thinking about anything else and started eating.

Wei Qingqing loves grilled squid. She ate it while sipping her wine, showing a rather sophisticated air. Yang Ming, on the other hand, grabbed a lamb skewer and started eating. He wasn't picky about food and would never take Wei Qingqing's favorite dishes.

After finishing their barbecue skewers and paying the bill, the two strolled towards the seaside and soon arrived at Tianma Square.

The fountain in Tianma Square shot into the sky, reflecting a faint glow under the dim lights. There were many people enjoying the night, and some activities were taking place, such as carrying sedan chairs and releasing hot air balloons. However, no one seemed surprised. After all, this happened every few days, and even the most uninformed person wouldn't find it novel... except for those who were visiting for the first time, of course...

"Husband, I want to ride in a sedan chair..." Wei Qingqing said sweetly, holding Yang Ming's arm and pointing to the swaying sedan chair bearers in the middle of the field.

"No way..." Yang Ming said firmly... Let a pregnant woman sit in such a swaying sedan chair? This is a joke that's gone too far...

"I want to ride in a hot air balloon..." Wei Qingqing came up with this idea on a whim, pointing at the hot air balloon flying in the sky and shouting.

"Are you drunk and acting crazy???" Yang Ming's eyes widened.

"I'm not drunk..." Wei Qingqing pouted, feigning indignation, then pleaded, "Take me for a hot air balloon ride, okay? Please..."

"Oh no..." Yang Ming's eyes widened, "Your husband isn't that bold..."

"Coward..." Wei Qingqing pouted and said angrily.

To be honest, Wei Qingqing was quite drunk and a little excited.

"How about we go catch some crabs? The tide's out right now, let's try our luck..." Yang Ming said.

"Okay..." Wei Qingqing's anger came quickly, but it also subsided quickly.

"Drunkard, see if I'll let you drink again in the future..." Yang Ming blushed as he glanced at the curious gazes coming from all around, muttering to himself, and pulled Wei Qingqing down the steps.

Stepping onto the soft sand, my feet sank in, and fine sand seeped into my shoes like needles finding a crevice.

"It's uncomfortable, I'm not wearing them anymore..." Wei Qingqing kicked her legs and flung her shoes off, then lifted her skirt and started running on the beach, as happy as an innocent child.

"Hey, can you please calm down for a bit? You're about to give birth, can't you stop being so lively?" Yang Ming quickly pulled Wei Qingqing back, and amidst her reluctant grumbling, he picked up the two shoes she had kicked off, took her hand, and slowly led her closer to the beach.

"Cold..." Wei Qingqing stepped barefoot onto the damp sand and immediately felt a chill. She was not used to it for a moment and couldn't help but jump up and down.

"Should we put on our shoes?" Yang Ming asked.

"I won't wear it, it's so cool..." Having probably gotten used to it, Wei Qingqing actually found the coolness quite comfortable.

"Hehe, I'll take mine off too..." Yang Ming smiled slightly, took off his shoes, and stepped barefoot onto the cool sand.

"Honey, look over there, what's that???" Wei Qingqing suddenly pointed mysteriously at a small dark figure not far away and said.

"Huh???" Yang Ming followed Wei Qingqing's finger and saw something that looked like a large rock lying quietly where the waves were crashing.

This object, like a rock, silently endured the impact of the waves.

"Did you see clearly??? What is it???" Wei Qingqing asked softly.

"This..." Yang Ming stared intently, feeling that the object looked somewhat familiar. Its round and bulging shape resembled a sea turtle lying there.

"What is it???" Wei Qingqing asked curiously.

"It looks like a sea turtle..." Yang Ming felt the object move and a small head popped out, finally confirming that it was a sea turtle.

"I want to drink turtle soup..." Wei Qingqing pouted and said coquettishly.

"That's a sea turtle, not a soft-shelled turtle..." Yang Ming was speechless.

"It's almost there, hurry up and catch it..." Wei Qingqing pouted and shook Yang Ming's arm coquettishly.

"Don't catch it, we keep sea turtles at home..." Yang Ming didn't want to catch this creature of nature. Judging by its size, it must be at least several hundred years old. It would be such a waste to catch it and eat it...

"I want to eat a mainland turtle..." Wei Qingqing said sweetly.

"Cough cough cough..." Yang Ming was immediately choked by Wei Qingqing's words and started coughing. A mainland turtle? That thing is the size of a small island. Even if you want to kill it, it's not an easy task.

"I want to eat a mainland turtle..." Wei Qingqing said, shaking Yang Ming's arm and acting coquettishly when Yang Ming didn't respond.

"Okay, okay, when we get back, we'll eat mainland turtle..." Yang Ming quickly agreed. In fact, Wei Qingqing is absolutely spoiled and unreasonable when she's drunk. Even though Yang Ming has agreed to eat mainland turtle now, once Wei Qingqing sobers up, she won't mention eating mainland turtle again without Yang Ming having to say it.

"I want to eat it now..." Wei Qingqing pouted.

"We can't eat them now. The mainland turtles are too big. We can't kill them. Let's wait until we get back and let Jixiang do it..." Yang Ming coaxed Wei Qingqing softly.

"You said it..." Wei Qingqing felt her mind was a little unclear. With hazy, drunken eyes, she looked at Yang Ming and said in a sweet voice.

"I said..." Yang Ming nodded repeatedly.

"Pinky promise..." Wei Qingqing extended her little finger.

"Okay..." Yang Ming smiled and extended his little finger, hooking it with hers.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years and it's all for sure..." Wei Qingqing's voice was sweet and charming. After saying that, she threw herself into Yang Ming's arms and leaned her whole body against him.

Yang Ming held Wei Qingqing in his arms, feeling a sense of peace and warmth in his heart.

"Qingqing, I won't go to the meeting. I'll stay home with you and watch our child be born..." Yang Ming suddenly said firmly in Wei Qingqing's ear.

"Why???" Wei Qingqing stiffened upon hearing Yang Ming's words, without looking up. Her voice sounded somewhat muffled due to poor sound transmission.

"For no particular reason, as the saying goes, 'Cultivate oneself, regulate one's family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world'..." Yang Ming smiled as he gently stroked Wei Qingqing's long hair. "We don't have the ability to govern the state and bring peace to the world, and we never intended to reach that level in our lives. If we can cultivate ourselves and regulate our family, we will have no regrets in this life..."

"Having a baby isn't like you can't have one without me. Don't let this little thing delay your important matter..." There wasn't a trace of drunkenness in Wei Qingqing's voice at this moment.

"No..." Yang Ming shook his head firmly. "I have to personally welcome my son when he's born. Otherwise, when we're old, if that kid says I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father and refuses to support me, who will I cry to???"

"Pfft..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, playfully punching Yang Ming's shoulder with her small fist. "I'm trying to be serious with you, and you always come up with such nonsense..."

"Hehe..." Yang Ming laughed.

"I just feel it's a pity. It's so hard to become such a high-ranking official. It would be such a waste if he were to be dismissed because of such a small matter." Wei Qingqing felt somewhat unwilling.

"There's nothing I can do about it. You can't have your cake and eat it too. What status, what power? In my eyes, you're not even worth a single hair on your head..." Yang Ming said with a smile.
