Lu Wanqing tidied up the room for the little one, then went to her own room to pack her things.
While packing his belongings, little Harvey seemed to have grown tired of them and wasn't interested, but when she packed Lu Wanqing's things, the little guy's mind was filled with a million questions, constantly asking and asking.
Lu Wanqing was helpless, but could only patiently answer the child's questions one by one.
Finally, the rooms were all tidied up, and Lu Wanqing felt utterly exhausted, collapsing onto the bed.
Seeing Mommy sprawled on the bed, little Harvey couldn't help but kick off his shoes, climb onto the bed, and lie down beside his Mommy.
They couldn't sleep together at night, so sleeping like this now should be okay, right?
Lu Wanqing was speechless, but looking at the child from the side, her heart still felt warm.

Meanwhile, Lu Yang had traveled a long way and finally arrived at the trash planet.
According to the information he received, Lu Wanqing had appeared on this planet not long ago. Although she had already left, he wondered if he could find some clues by starting his search from here.
Lu Yang pretended to be a guest and went to the hotel where Lu Wanqing had previously stayed.
"Boss, I need a room," Lu Yang said.
Perhaps because he had been in the Empire for a long time, his accent carried a slight Imperial flavor. The hotel owner immediately noticed and looked him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, then asked, "Are you from the Empire?"
After the news of Lu Wanqing's appearance on the trash planet spread, their planet had become popular. Many people had been visiting their planet almost every day during this period, which had led to an increase in population. The hotel rooms were almost full, so… they had made quite a profit.
However, the money of Federation citizens and the money of Empire citizens were different. Although they were people of the trash planet, they still abided by Federation rules. When dealing with people from the Empire, they had to fleece them, and there was no need to be polite!
Federation guests paid 6 star coins per night, but people from the Empire…
"There aren't many rooms left, and the price is a bit high, 666 star coins per night!" the boss said expressionlessly.
Lu Yang nodded. "Okay."
Lu Yang swiped his optical computer and transferred the star coins.
This time, the hotel owner looked at Lu Yang a bit more and then smiled, very happy. "Guest, follow me. Our rooms here are very good. Let me tell you, when Miss Lu came to our planet before, she stayed with us, and she was very satisfied with our rooms."
Lu Yang didn't say anything, just followed the boss until they reached the room, took the door card, and then saw the boss off before closing the door.
"Master, you've been scammed!!!"
"According to the prices on the Federation side, the accommodation fee at this hotel is only 6 star coins per night!!!"
As soon as the hotel boss left, the intelligent AI Qingqing, hiding in the optical computer, finally couldn't resist and anxiously reported.
It was an intelligent AI, and a high-level one at that. From the moment it entered the trash planet, to protect its master's safety, it had used the network to quietly investigate information about this planet. The more it investigated, the more it discovered that its master had been taken advantage of by the people of the Federation as a fool!
6 star coins versus 666 star coins…
The difference seemed quite significant.
However, for Lu Yang, it was just like that. He had lived for too long and owned countless businesses. Star coins were just data to him and didn't hold much significance.
"Have you found any information about Lu Wanqing?" Lu Yang asked.
Hearing Lu Wanqing's name, Qingqing immediately became serious. It replied, "I've found it. Lu Wanqing did come here and registered. There's also a video."
This video was copied by it from the private optical computer of the hotel owner, which was related to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Yang immediately lowered his gaze and opened his optical computer. He saw the video that Qingqing had copied for him. It was Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing entered the hotel, booked a room, and in the end, that little red-haired brat ran in, grabbed Lu Wanqing, and they fled, then left in a flying vehicle.
The video was filmed very clearly, so Lu Yang also saw the flying vehicle that little Harvey had flown, and it was… very shoddy.
However, for a seven-year-old child to be able to fly such a shoddy flying vehicle well and snatch his mother away, he felt a bit of newfound respect for the child. He was quite capable.
"Master, Lu Wanqing has left the trash planet," Qingqing said.
After watching the video, Lu Yang responded softly, "Mhm."
"What do we do next?" Qingqing asked.
Lu Yang said, "Let's take our time. We'll eventually find her whereabouts."
*
At this very moment, Lu Wanqing was unaware that Lu Yang was looking for her. She lay on the bed for a while before getting up.
Little Harvey quickly followed her and got up.
"Let's go buy some things," Lu Wanqing said.
However, after saying this, Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered that she had no money, not a single cent.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
"Never mind, let's figure out how to make money first," Lu Wanqing quickly changed her words.
It was impossible to ask Xavier for money, and her own card couldn't be used, so she could only find ways to earn money herself.
But how could she earn money?
Make mechs?
Wouldn't that attract too much attention?
Or perhaps repair mechs?
As Lu Wanqing thought, an idea formed. She went to find Xavier.
In the living room, Xavier listened to Lu Wanqing's intentions and was very surprised. "You want to be a mech repair technician?"
"Mhm," Lu Wanqing replied.
"Xavier, if I do this, will it expose our identities?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask, as this was also a concern of hers.
Xavier shook his head. "Just don't make the mechs too good."
"Okay," Lu Wanqing immediately became happy.
Although Muai Star was a border planet, there were still mech repair shops. It shouldn't be difficult to find one and apply for a job, right?
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Xavier said, "With your talent, working in a repair shop would be a waste. How about I introduce you? You can work in the black market, and we'll split the wages earned fifty-fifty?"
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Fifty-fifty?
Are you trying to rob me directly!
Lu Wanqing's expression was too obvious, so Xavier explained, "It's only you. If it were anyone else, I would at most let them take ten percent of the income."
Lu Wanqing was speechless, looking at Xavier as if he were a shrewd businessman.
"Thirty-seven, you get thirty, I get seventy," Lu Wanqing said.
"Forty-sixty, you get forty, I get sixty," Xavier raised the price unceremoniously.
Little Harvey watched from the side and couldn't help but glare at his father with disdain. "Dad, you're so useless. You actually want to make Mommy's money!"
"Stingy!" little Harvey cursed again.
The next moment, little Harvey looked at Mommy and said seriously, "Mommy, don't worry. When I grow up, I'll make money too. I'll give all the money I earn to Mommy. I won't be stingy like Dad!"
Xavier looked at his son and inexplicably felt a headache.
"Alright, alright, I don't want it anymore, okay? All the income goes to your mother, and I'll work for free." The next moment, Xavier shook his head, defeated.
