"Alright, everyone has traveled such a long distance and must be tired. Go back and rest," Lu Wanqing said to Wei Xingzhou.
Wei Xingzhou looked up at Lu Wanqing upon hearing this, his gaze surprisingly filled with a hint of melancholy.
"Can't I stay with Cui Cui a little longer?" Wei Xingzhou asked.
Lu Wanqing felt helpless, but she turned to look at Cui Cui, and her heart softened.
"Does Cui Cui want to spend some time alone with Wei Xingzhou?" Lu Wanqing asked Cui Cui.
Cui Cui looked at Wei Xingzhou, and after a long pause, nodded.
Lu Wanqing suddenly felt unsure how to arrange things. Cui Cui was already eleven years old, truly at an age where she needed to maintain a proper distance from her father. Moreover, Wei Xingzhou and Cui Cui were not related by blood.
"We can make a floor bed in our room; there should be enough space," Lu Yang suggested.
Wei Xingzhou's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lu Yang as if he were a savior. "Yes, yes, yes! I can sleep on the floor, I don't mind!"
Lu Wanqing felt something was a little off. This was her and her third brother's room. It was one thing to have two children here, but now Wei Xingzhou was also present.
However, thinking that the children and her third brother were all there, the slight worry in her heart subsided.
It was like they were all on an outdoor camping trip, sleeping on the grass. It wasn't a big deal.
"Okay!" Lu Wanqing agreed.
As soon as Lu Wanqing agreed, Cui Cui immediately became excited, and then everyone got busy making the floor bed.
It was essentially a mat, a mattress, and then a pillow and a quilt. It was quickly set up.
Wei Xingzhou quickly lay down on the floor bed.
Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang slept in their clothes, as did Cui Cui and Weiwei. They got onto the bed, and everyone closed their eyes to sleep.
Harvey, after persuading his father to find Alice and then returning to find his mother, pushed open his parents' bedroom door and saw everyone sleeping in the room. He froze, especially shocked when he saw Wei Xingzhou sleeping on the floor.
On the bed, Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang both heard the sound of the door opening. The couple opened their eyes simultaneously and looked towards the door.
Harvey quickly understood the situation in the room. He immediately joined in, saying, "I want to sleep too!"
Harvey wanted to get on the bed, but there was no more space. In the end, Lu Yang, with no other choice, had to move to the floor and sleep on the floor bed with Wei Xingzhou, while Lu Wanqing slept on the bed with the children.
Xavier soon learned that Harvey had come to Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang's room. Upon learning about the situation, he didn't intervene. He quickly found his subordinates and ordered them to investigate.
Lu Wanqing slept for a while and woke up again in the evening. She looked to her side and first saw Weiwei, then Cui Cui. Turning to the other side, she saw Harvey. This was truly... a sweet burden.
On the floor, Wei Xingzhou also slowly woke up. However, upon opening his eyes, he saw someone sleeping next to his pillow. He was shocked and instinctively kicked out!
Lu Yang's body reacted faster than his brain. With a grapple, he pinned Wei Xingzhou down.
"Hey, hey, hey, it hurts, it hurts!" Wei Xingzhou immediately yelped in pain, it was agony.
Lu Yang released Wei Xingzhou.
Wei Xingzhou's brain finally caught up. Not long after they had rested, Harvey had come over and insisted on sleeping with them, which ultimately led to Lu Yang being forced out of bed to sleep with him, hence their current situation.
After regaining his freedom, Wei Xingzhou quickly stood up and distanced himself from Lu Yang. This guy was too devious; he wanted to stay far away. He didn't want to get beaten up again.
Amidst the playful banter, everyone quickly got up.
Lu Wanqing tied Weiwei's hair into a cute bun and tidied her clothes.
Cui Cui was already eleven years old and could dress herself. However, as Wei Xingzhou watched Cui Cui tie her hair, he couldn't help but walk over and mischievously ask, "Cui Cui, how about Dad ties your hair for you?"
When Cui Cui was little, Wei Xingzhou tied her hair himself. Because he was involved in the entertainment industry, he knew many styling techniques and often styled Cui Cui's hair in various ways, which had become a habit. But as Cui Cui grew up and learned to tie her own hair, he no longer had a chance to use his skills. Wei Xingzhou had always regretted this.
Cui Cui had already tied her hair. Upon hearing Wei Xingzhou's words, she was taken aback, but only for a moment. Cui Cui quickly untied her hair and said to Wei Xingzhou, "You tie it."
Wei Xingzhou was thrilled and quickly went over to tie Cui Cui's hair himself.
Lu Wanqing watched from the side, not disturbing the father and daughter's interaction. Sometimes, Wei Xingzhou's meticulous care for Cui Cui truly made Lu Wanqing envious.
They quickly got ready, and the steward of the underground arena came to call them for dinner.
Everyone was very happy and went out together, ready to eat.
The food on Abyss Star was different from other places, mostly seafood. Lu Wanqing ate happily.
"Do you want to go see the arena tonight?" Xavier asked Lu Yang after they had eaten their fill.
Lu Yang looked at Xavier, then at Lu Wanqing.
Xavier explained, "I've already sent people to investigate Alice's matter. If she really studied on Abyss Star, I will definitely find out."
It was said that a powerful dragon could not suppress a local snake. On Abyss Star, Xavier was like that local snake, while Third Brother was a majestic dragon who could not exert any influence here.
"Thank you," Lu Wanqing said to Xavier sincerely.
Xavier looked at Lu Wanqing, then lowered his gaze to Harvey. He explained, "You don't need to thank me. I just want to know who harmed this guy in his past life."
For pirates, revenge was their nature. To endure, to yield, and to remain silent was not their way.
If those people had bullied Harvey, or if they were going to bully Harvey in the near future, then as Harvey's father, he wouldn't mind making an effort now to teach those people a lesson, so they wouldn't harm his son later.
Lu Wanqing, hearing Xavier's words, inexplicably had a bad feeling. She quickly reminded him, "Xavier, don't do anything rash."
"Alice probably hasn't done anything yet. As long as we find out who she's trading with behind the scenes, we don't need to worry about anything else," Lu Wanqing said.
"Mhm," Xavier nodded.
After speaking, Xavier looked at his son, Harvey.
Harvey met his father's gaze and felt a sense of danger.
At the same time, on the other side, the Insectoid Empress, disguised, had secretly entered the city. 138 Reading Network.
"Your Majesty, if we enter like this, won't we be discovered?" At the city gate, a beautiful woman sat in the back seat, listening to her subordinate chatter.
"At least we haven't been discovered yet," the Insectoid Empress said calmly.
