Inferior A After Having a Baby with the Top Boss 87

Chapter 87: Possessiveness

Having spent a very happy day, Ming Fei rarely slept in the next morning.

Zaozao, equally happy about receiving the gifts, cooperated with her mother and stayed in bed, nestled under the covers, her eyes blinking.

“Mommy.”

“Mm?”

Zaozao the Great said proudly: “Baby will accompany Mommy!”

Ming Fei chuckled, looking at her daughter playing with the Star Moon Crystal Tower, leaning in to kiss her face.

“Does Zaozao like the Star Moon Tower very much?”

“Mm-hmm!” Ming Zaozao held up the tower. “There are little stars, bunnies, the moon, and flowers inside, Baby likes it very much.”

After saying that, Ming Zaozao asked, “Mommy, where did you go yesterday?”

They had returned home almost at nine o’clock last night, and after opening her gifts, Ming Fei had coaxed Ming Zaozao to sleep, and she had completely forgotten to ask where her mommy went.

Ming Fei smiled and said, “To look at the stars.”

Zhu Yiqiao looked at the stars, and she looked at Zhu Yiqiao. For her, Zhu Yiqiao was the most brilliant star.

Ming Zaozao seemed to understand, put down the Star Moon Tower, threw herself into Ming Fei’s arms, hugging her tightly, then looked up and said,

“Mommy hugged Auntie, like Kitty and Bunny! All the little animals in the forest know that Kitty and Bunny are good friends.”

Ming Fei pinched her cheek.

Last night, when they hugged in the hallway, Ming Zaozao had poked her head out, and they immediately let go of each other. Ming Zaozao, wearing her little bear slippers, trotted over and took their hands.

She hadn’t asked anything, just swung their hands and sang the theme song of “Animal Forest,” assuming they were expressing their friendship like the little animals.

Hearing this now, Ming Fei thought for a moment and lowered her voice: “This is a secret.”

Zaozao the Great was best at keeping secrets: “A secret?”

“Mm.” Ming Fei continued, “Mommy will explain it to Zaozao later, but we have to keep this secret for now, okay?”

Zaozao the Great readily agreed: “Okay, pinky promise!”

After making a pinky promise, the mother and daughter got out of bed. When they went downstairs, Zhu Yiqiao had already left for the Trial Court. Ming Fei had chosen to sleep in precisely because she knew this.

During breakfast, a black hovercar drove into the villa. Just as they finished eating, they saw Xue Xun and Xu Zhou arrive.

Ming Zaozao greeted them in her childish voice. Xue Xun was quickly pulled away by Ming Zaozao to see her new toys. Ming Fei and Xu Zhou sat on the terrace, sunlight streaming in, the garden full of flowers as beautiful as a vibrant painting.

The fragrance of tea lingered. Xu Zhou’s fingertips rested on the porcelain handle of the teacup, her emotions swirling beneath the surface.

“I had someone investigate, but we couldn’t find any information about them in the country.”

After watching the holographic recording in the bracelet, Ming Fei had taken screenshots of her mothers and, with a sliver of hope, tried to find them in the Independent State.

She had thought, if chance was inevitability, then… could their mothers also have come to this space-time?

But Xu Zhou’s investigation results weren’t promising.

Ming Fei’s heart sank, her lips pressing into a thin line, but she still tried to comfort her sister.

“Jiejie, it’s okay, there are other countries we haven’t checked yet.”

Xu Zhou poured her some tea: “Xiao Fei, don’t worry about me. Just as they said, they were members of the Mehertaer faction. They had anticipated this day from the moment they joined, and they have fulfilled their mission.”

The Mehertaer faction was the enemy of the government, and many core members lived with the expectation of death. Ming Fei knew this very well. She respected her mothers’ choices, but still held onto a sliver of hope, because she felt that shouldn’t be the ending for her mothers.

The artificial incubation chamber technology could change the subordinate status of omegas and solve many human reproductive problems, but the two researchers who created this technology had all traces of them erased.

After a moment of silence, Ming Fei softly replied, “Mm, I know.”

Xu Zhou patted her shoulder: “I will continue to investigate and let you know as soon as I have any news.”

“Okay.”

“You weren’t here on Wednesday, so Zaozao and we agreed to take her to the amusement park today and bring her back tonight.”

“Okay.”

After replying, Ming Fei asked thoughtfully, “Jiejie, you and Xue Xun Jiejie… have you remembered anything from the past?”

Xu Zhou took a sip of tea: “Not yet.”

She said frankly, “But that doesn’t mean I won’t fall for her again, does it?”

Hearing this, Ming Fei smiled: “Of course not.”

Before leaving, Ming Fei filled Ming Zaozao’s small bag with handmade snacks and other necessities.

The small bag bulged into a big bag. Xu Zhou, her face usually aloof, carried the strawberry backpack, which didn’t match her temperament at all, in one hand, and Ming Zaozao in the other.

The hovercar left the villa. Ming Fei went up to the study and, while logging into the public network, also opened the free network, which was only accessible to certain personnel.

Actually, using the free network to obtain information was very convenient. If her mothers had really come to this space-time and were registered in the Independent State, she could directly find them using the free network.

But she was a white hat hacker, focusing on maintenance and protection, not a black hat hacker who would intrude or attack at will. A rash search would violate the privacy of citizens.

And…

Ming Fei thought for a moment, then submitted an application to the National Security Department, explaining the situation concisely but thoroughly, and asking if she could be granted temporary access.

The contact person quickly replied.

Perhaps because she had always been doing maintenance work without asking for payment, the National Security Department granted her a three-hour limited access, with added protection to ensure that the information of other citizens wouldn’t be compromised, only allowing her to search for the specific people she was looking for in the data sea.

Ming Fei was overjoyed and immediately started searching.

However, after searching five times and using up all her access time, she confirmed again—they really weren’t in the Independent State.

Ming Fei remained motionless for a long time, like a still white jade statue.

Her access was revoked on the display screen. She watched the backup recording again, over and over, until the tenth time, when she finally snapped back to reality.

“Beep—”

The message notification sound broke the silence.

Ming Fei composed herself, picked up her phone, and seeing that it was a message from Zhu Yiqiao, her mood improved slightly.

[Jiejie: Are you busy?]

Ming Fei’s lips curved upwards as she replied.

[Just finished.]

[What is Jiejie doing?]

As soon as the message was sent, she suddenly realized that this didn’t seem like a qualified pursuer, so she quickly sent a few more messages.

[Jiejie, remember to eat lunch on time.]

According to Pursuit Tactics: How to Be a Qualified Pursuer and Three Meals a Day in a Relationship, she had originally planned to make lunch and deliver it, but perhaps because her pursuit methods were too clumsy, Zhu Yiqiao had seen through her last night and told her not to come.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Zhu Yiqiao explained that there had been a change in the Trial Court’s schedule, and they would be going to the government, so lunch might not be on time.

Only then did she give up on the brilliant plan of capturing Zhu Yiqiao’s stomach.

Five minutes later, a new message finally appeared in their chat window.

[Jiejie: Mm, I know.]

[Jiejie: Tomorrow is a public holiday, I’ll be off work soon, is Teacher Xiao Fei coming to pick me up?]

Ming Fei’s lips curled up, her metaphorical tail wagging.

[Yes.]

[Then, see you later.]

[[Kitten happily meowing.gif]]

Although she said “later,” two hours still passed.

At 2:30 pm, Ming Fei arrived at the government building in her hovercar. Just as she opened the door and got out, she saw Zhu Yiqiao coming out with a group of government staff.

Among the three people walking alongside Zhu Yiqiao, one was wearing a Taiya uniform.

Just as they reached the steps, the woman in the Taiya uniform took a bouquet of flowers from a service robot that had appeared out of nowhere and stepped forward, handing it to Zhu Yiqiao.

Ming Fei stopped in her tracks.

The staff members following behind weren’t surprised, because this scene often played out after international conferences, especially those with Taiya, known for its openness and enthusiasm.

However, they clearly noticed Ming Fei and couldn’t help but look over.

The councilor from Taiya said loudly, “Chief Judge Zhu, you are like this bouquet of flowers, beautiful, charming, and full of charisma. Please accept these flowers, and accept my admiration.”

Lan Lubai, standing next to them, smiled casually: “Councilor Vina, the Chief Judge is already married.”

The gradient-colored roses in the bouquet were the most representative flower for Valentine’s Day in the Independent State, only exchanged between lovers.

Councilor Vina smiled ambiguously and was about to say something when she heard Zhu Yiqiao say indifferently,

“I’m sorry, I don’t accept flowers from anyone but my partner. My partner is waiting for me, excuse me.”

The meeting and work were over, and they could leave after the closing remarks, but the conference hall was very close to the main entrance of the government building, so they happened to be leaving together.

After saying this, Zhu Yiqiao, without waiting for the councilor’s reaction, walked towards Ming Fei, who was standing at the bottom of the steps.

Councilor Vina wanted to follow, but Lan Lubai seemingly casually blocked her way, saying with a smile,

“Councilor Vina, I happen to have a question…”

And all of this was seen by Ming Fei. She watched as Zhu Yiqiao walked towards her step by step, reached the last step, and took her hand.

“Jiejie.”

“Mm.”

“Are we leaving?”

“Mm, work is over.”

They turned around, their intertwined hands interlocking their fingers, and under the gazes of everyone present, got into the car and drove away.

Inside the hovercar, Zhu Yiqiao took off her cap and immediately sensed the faint pear scent.

The owner of the pheromones didn’t speak.

But her pheromones told Zhu Yiqiao that her emotions were fluctuating, her possessiveness as well.

Ming Fei, sensing the pheromones overflowing, only a second later than Zhu Yiqiao, subconsciously controlled the fluctuations of her own pheromones, but the wisp of pear fragrance was gently entwined, teased, and fused with the elegant pine and fir scent.

The display screen happened to be broadcasting international news. When the anchor’s voice rang out, Zhu Yiqiao turned off the news.

She looked sideways at Ming Fei, letting the pear scent entwine with the branches and leaves of the pine and fir trees. Only when they were so close that their lips almost touched did she stop and ask slowly,

“Do you want a different reward?”

Last night, for the reward in the hallway, Ming Fei had only asked one question. She was an obedient student who wouldn’t lie, wouldn’t cross the line, and would never be unfaithful. She wouldn’t take any shortcuts, no matter the bait, firmly and resolutely walking the path she had chosen.

She asked, “I want to know, what am I like in Jiejie’s heart?”

Zhu Yiqiao hadn’t answered at that time, and Ming Zaozao had quickly arrived.

Now, Ming Fei couldn’t ignore the possessiveness in her heart. She greedily held Zhu Yiqiao’s hand and asked, as if giving up on struggling,

“Except for special circumstances, I want Jiejie to only accept flowers from me from now on, is that okay?”
