032 Not Afraid?

On the way back, Fang Yuxin said, "The situation in the city looks pretty bad, not only are the buildings and roads severely damaged, but there are also a lot of abandoned vehicles. Next time we want to go into the city, it won't be convenient to drive."

Fang Yuyang had thought of this as well and sighed, "Indeed, luckily we prepared a heavy-duty motorcycle in advance. It will be much more maneuverable." After saying this and seeing that Fang Yuxin's face hadn't brightened, he grew concerned and couldn't help but ask, "Xinxin, what's wrong?"

In fact, Fang Yuxin had been thinking that it wouldn't be long before the villa area where they were staying would be occupied by survivors. By then, it might give rise to trouble. There were only so many villas in the villa area, but among the survivors, some had influence. Precisely speaking, many of the survivors who first arrived at this villa area had considerable status and naturally didn't want to crowd into a small house with ordinary people.

All the villas would be divided up in no time. If it weren't for the Qiu Family's protection at that time, they wouldn't have been able to keep their own house. Even with the Qiu Family's protection, in the end, their house was still schemed away by Fang Mengyao.

Fang Yuxin shook her head, although she kept convincing herself it was just a dream, subconsciously, she felt that everything was not just a dream. Everything, it was all real.

She closed her eyes, leaned back wearily on the chair, and recalled everything in the dream, then slowly clenched her fists. Whether it was a dream or not, now that she was alive and had returned, she wouldn't give anyone the chance to harm her or her family again!

Watching Fang Yuxin's weary face, Fang Yuyang grew even more uneasy. He simply stopped the car by the roadside and turned to ask her, "Xinxin, what exactly are you hiding from me?"

By now, Fang Yuxin had walked out of the nightmare. Hearing his question, she glanced at Fang Yuyang, meeting his concerned gaze. Fang Yuxin was struck with determination and decided not to hide anything from Fang Yuyang anymore. She told him, "Brother, I'm worried that it won't be long before the survivors will come to the villa area. Have you researched the location of the villa area? It's beautifully situated, not only with complete facilities but also surrounded by newly built residential buildings and vast farmlands! It is very suitable to serve as a safety base."

As soon as he heard this, Fang Yuyang understood what she meant, "So you mean... you're worried that someone will snatch our house?" He paused before continuing, "Xinxin, you knew this from the beginning, didn't you? That's why you purposely had people speed up the renovations, deliberately turning the rooftop into an ecological farm."

There was no need to hide such matters, so Fang Yuxin simply admitted it, and then she said, "I knew it as soon as I finished that dream, but at the time, I didn't know that the Jade dad bought would contain the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, so I asked the renovation company to turn the roof into an ecological farm, thinking that we could grow some vegetables or something. The Qingmu Spiritual Mansion was an unexpected surprise."

Having already visited, Fang Yuyang naturally knew the situation inside the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion. Now, the spirit fields inside had already been cultivated by Fang Yuxin, growing grains, vegetables and fruits, while the medicine field was planted with many medicinal herbs. There were plenty of fish, shrimp, and crabs in the pond, and poultry and livestock in the bamboo grove. It's safe to say that as long as they had the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, they need not worry about their livelihood in the future.

But the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion was too covetable and absolutely could not be exposed. They had to figure out a way to cover it up. So, when they moved to the new villa, they planted vegetables on the rooftop of the ecological farm and in the garden. Anyway, Fang Yuxin's Wood Element superpower was bound to be exposed; with her Wood Element superpower's help, they wouldn't have to worry about over-nurturing the vegetables at home.

Both siblings were worried that the arrival of survivors in the villa area would cause chaos, and they did not dare delay, so they hit the road again. They took the same route back and upon passing the dilapidated shopping plaza, they noticed that there were already a dozen private cars parked, with people loading heavy shopping bags into them. The siblings guessed that these were the nearby residents coming to move supplies from the supermarket.

Seeing them, those loading the cars became visibly vigilant. After all, there was only so much space in a supermarket, and the more people that came, the less everyone got. Noticing the wariness in those people's eyes, the siblings didn't stop and just drove past. Through the rearview mirror, they could still see those people visibly sighing with relief.

The two of them didn't care much about it. They had prepared a large amount of supplies before the apocalypse, so the things in the supermarket really weren't worth a glance to them. That's why they didn't take anything and left it all for these people.

They drove back to their new home and checked the time. It was already five in the afternoon. Just as they reached the door, it was opened from the inside. Bai Qianqian stood at the doorway, smiling sweetly at Fang Yuxin, "Mama, Uncle, you're finally back!"

Bai Qianqian naturally looked like Fang Yuxin. When he smiled like this, not only did Fang Yuxin's heart soften, but even Fang Yuyang couldn't resist feeling moved. The Fang Family had accepted Bai Qianqian so quickly partly because his eyes and mouth looked so much like Fang Yuxin's.

Eyes are said to be the windows to the soul, and when the Fang Family saw Bai Qianqian, they felt as if they were looking at Fang Yuxin as a child. Although there were issues with Bai Qianqian's birth, after all, he was a soft and adorable child who resembled Fang Yuxin, how could the Fang Family harden their hearts?

However, even though they accepted him, they only did so with Bai Qianqian and not his father. During the time Bai Qianqian spent with the Fang Family, they never mentioned his other family members.

As Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang entered, Bai Qianqian couldn't help but glance behind them, looking for Bai Ye. Disappointed not to see him, he dared not show it. Though he was young, he was clever and sensitive, aware that the Fang Family didn't like his father, so he obediently never brought it up.

Bai Qianqian didn't know the secrets surrounding his birth. His little mind often couldn't help but wonder, what if Mama doesn't accept his silly dad? Who would he follow? What if he doesn't want to let go of either? It troubles him so much!

Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang both noticed Bai Qianqian's small actions and exchanged a glance, but neither said anything. At that moment, Fang Yuxin felt a soft touch on her finger. Looking down, she saw Bai Qianqian carefully grasping her finger.

The soft touch on her finger made her heart soften. She bent down to pick up Bai Qianqian and couldn't resist kissing his cheek as she saw the joyous smile bloom on his little face, laughing as she said, "Did Qianqian notice the changes outside? Tell Mama, are you scared?"

Bai Qianqian shook his head and puffed out his little chest, saying with great bravado, "Qianqian is not afraid! Mama, you shouldn't be afraid either, Qianqian will protect you!" He wanted to say 'Daddy will protect you too', but thinking of Fang Yuxin's attitude towards Bai Ye, he didn't dare to say it.

Fang Yuxin couldn't help but smile brightly and tenderly kissed Bai Qianqian's forehead, saying solemnly yet gently, "Mama will protect you too."
