"Alright! Alright!"
"I'll stay at home from now on, will that do!"
Finally, under Ye Ming's persistent pestering, Fang Junxue relented.
"You said it."
Seeing that she had agreed, Ye Ming gave her no room to back out. He grabbed her hand and tore open a spatial rift.
"Let's go! We're going back now!"
Good heavens!
He had to use spatial power just to go home!
Fang Junxue was quite taken aback.
"Fine! I'm going back right away!"
Fang Junxue shook her head and smiled, entering the spatial rift.
However, as she was leaving, she didn't ask Ye Ming to go with her.
"Wait a moment, Qingyu has been helping Chaoge with something lately. I don't know what stage the surprise Chaoge mentioned has reached."
"Why don't you go take a look?"
"This... alright!"
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Those two girls had indeed been acting mysterious lately. If he guessed correctly, Mo Chaoge's research should be nearing completion.
"Mmm!"
After giving her instructions, Fang Junxue returned to Villa Number One through the spatial passage.
Currently, only she, Mo Chaoge, and Bu Qingyu lived in the villa.
And the little princess of the household... Little Ain.
As for Ye Ming, he had been traveling all over the place for the past six months, without a fixed abode.
Now that his child with Fang Junxue was about to be born, he naturally had to move in to take care of her and the child.
After seeing Fang Junxue off, Ye Ming finally felt a weight lifted from his heart.
He glanced out the window. It was around four or five in the afternoon, and the employees at the company were about to get off work.
He sat in the seat Fang Junxue had occupied, not going to find Bu Qingyu and the others immediately.
Because he knew that Mo Chaoge was always very secretive about her research. If he went there, she might not even let him in.
Of course!
Ye Ming wasn't trying to find out what she was researching.
He just wanted to know the progress.
Therefore, he could only set his sights on Bu Qingyu.
Half an hour later.
"Sister Junxue, regarding the Black Hawk Empire's counterfeit medicines... Hmm!"
The office door was pushed open, and a woman in an emerald green long dress, with a delicate face and pure features, hurried in with a document.
But before she could finish speaking, her vision was filled with a smiling man.
"Brother Ye!"
Seeing Ye Ming there, a look of joy immediately appeared on Bu Qingyu's pretty face.
The shyness that often graced her small face had long since faded.
From the way she called him "Brother Ye," one could tell the close relationship between them now.
"Junxue has gone back to rest."
Ye Ming smiled, beckoned her over, patted his leg, and said with a smile, "Come! I have something to ask you."
Seeing this, a blush appeared on Bu Qingyu's small face.
She closed the office door and placed the document she was holding on the desk.
Then, she turned sideways and sat obediently on Ye Ming's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and speaking in a soft voice:
"What do you want to ask?"
Ye Ming naturally cupped her waist. He felt the warmth and softness emanating from her through her dress. With a slight increase in the force of his grip, the charming woman leaned fully into his embrace.
He leaned down slightly and whispered into her ear, a teasing grin on his face:
"Tell me, what stage is Chaoge's research at? Is it almost finished?"
Feeling the warmth by her ear and the large hands wandering on her legs, her delicate body softened, her chest heaving slightly. She weakly said:
"Chaoge said it has to... has to be kept a secret. I... I can't tell you!"
Although the little girl was refusing, her tone wasn't very firm!
"Oh! You really don't plan to tell me?"
Ye Ming's smile turned wicked, and the hand on her waist began to move upward.
As it moved, his palm felt warm.
"Ah! You... you're bullying me!"
Bu Qingyu bit her red lips, her delicate face so flushed it looked like it could bleed.
Her beautiful eyes were hazy, filled with allure.
Her body grew hotter and hotter.
"How can this be considered bullying?"
Ye Ming's smile grew more wicked. His hand on her thigh became restless, lifting the hem of her skirt.
"Hahaha! *This* is what you call bullying!"
He chuckled triumphantly as he felt the smooth skin of the woman in his arms.
"Mmm! I... I'll tell you!"
"I'll tell you! You... stop!"
Bu Qingyu felt that she couldn't let him explore any further, or else she wouldn't just lose control of her upper body, but potentially also her entire being.
"Alright! I won't move. You talk!"
Ye Ming really stopped moving.
"Then... then you... put your hand back."
Bu Qingyu controlled her breathing and said in a sweet voice.
"That won't do. What if you lie to me?"
Ye Ming shook his head.
"Ah... I'll tell you..."
"Chaoge has now reached the final stage. Within three days, it should be ready to be unveiled."
"I'm telling you the truth, I'm not lying to you."
Bu Qingyu tightly held Ye Ming's hand and blurted it all out in one breath.
"As expected, it's just as I thought."
After listening, Ye Ming nodded and smiled.
"I... I've already told you. You... you can't bully me anymore!"
Bu Qingyu desperately suppressed the strange sensations in her body, trying not to succumb.
"Don't worry, I keep my word."
Ye Ming withdrew his hand and placed it in front of Bu Qingyu.
Bu Qingyu's pretty face turned even redder.
"You bad boy!"
In the end, she could only lightly tap Ye Ming's chest, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Alright! Chaoge should be resting soon. Let's go pick her up!"
Ye Ming stopped teasing her and let her down.
"Wait... wait a moment. I... I need to go to the restroom."
Without waiting for Ye Ming's response, Bu Qingyu lowered her head and ran off.
"Hahaha! So cute."
Ten minutes later.
Qianxue Group Research and Development Department.
"Chaoge! You are truly a once-in-a-century genius. Once this thing is unveiled, the entire scientific community will be revolutionized."
"Yes! I can already imagine the world-altering scene."
"With so many immortal cultivators appearing, I thought we mortals were facing a great tribulation. Now, it seems there is still hope."
"That's right! But this is all thanks to Chaoge!"
"..."
As they emerged from the research center, a group of white-haired elders surrounded a young woman in a white shirt, exclaiming in awe.
"This is not solely my achievement. It is the result of everyone's collective effort."
"Chaoge dares not take all the credit!"
Facing the praise of the elderly professors, Mo Chaoge shook her head with a smile, her demeanor humble.
The professors listened, their faces filled with gratification.
Everyone walked out, chatting and laughing.
At this moment, a handsome young man holding a bouquet of roses seemed to be waiting outside.
Upon seeing Mo Chaoge, he immediately stepped forward.
He handed her the flowers and smiled confidently:
"Chaoge, you've worked hard."
