Chapter 250: Chapter 135: An Inexplicable Sense of Crisis_2, Wang Tao briefly explained., “0h~”, Ding Yuqin didn’t ask any more questions, as she knew many men disliked women who pried too deeply. Sometimes, silence could be more appreciated by men., However, Ding Yuqin had already decided to observe carefully later on to see if she had gained another sister…, Looking at Ding Yuqin, Wang Tao suddenly asked:, “Sis-in-law, did you kill any Elite Zombies these past few days?”, When he left, DingYuqin’s HP was in the low thousands, but nowit was 1220., “Hehe, of course! But I did it with everyone else!”, Wang Tao originally wanted to tell her not to take risks since hunting Elite Zombies with just over a thousand HP and no Abilities was still quite dangerous., But seeing Ding Yuqin looking so happy, Wang Tao decided not to say it., After all, wanting to become stronger was a good thing; it wouldn’t do to avoid getting stronger merely because it was dangerous., So Wang Tao encouraged her, saying:, “Impressive! Here I thought you were still practicing on Ordinary Zombies, but you’ve already started taking on Elite ones!”, “Ehehe-”, Ding Yuqin had almost no resistance to Wang Tao’s encouragement. She wore a goofy smile on her face., “In the next few days, I’ll take you to hunt zombies.”, Wang Tao added., He only needed three more Crystal Cores to upgrade his Self-healing power, so he had to rush to acquire these cores. Once he fused Self-healing to 10, he’d start preparing to deal with Second-order Hooded Zombies., During this time collecting Crystal Cores, he could lead Ding Yuqin and the others to level up their HP., “Sure!”, Finally having the chance to go out with Wang Tao, Ding Yuqin was overjoyed., Her wish to be with Wang Tao wasn’t just because he was strong, but also because she felt happy when she was with him., Ding Yuqin sat on Wang Tao’s lap, gazing at him affectionately and occasionally squirming in his embrace., Seeing this, Wang Tao slapped her bottom hard., “Don’t get too excited, Han Rui and the others will be here soon.”, “Hmph~”, Ding Yuqin snorted softly. She almost forgot that others were coming today. She hurried into the kitchen to check on the soup she had been stewing., Soon after, Han Rui came over with Li Qiuyu., Li Qiuyu was curious about everything here. She was happy and grateful to be invited over by Wang Tao for a meal., But when she saw Ding Yuqin, she was somewhat bewildered. Her eyes discreetly roamed over Ding Yuqin and Han Rui. She wasn’t sure who Wang Tao’s wife was or if both were., However, when she heard Wang Tao calling Ding Yuqin ‘sister-in-law,’ she felt relieved., So it wasn’t as she had thought!, She remembered that Wang Tao seemed to be a gentleman, very well-behaved in her home, it couldn’t possibly be—, Before Li Qjuyu could finish her thought, she saw Ding Yuqin place the last stewed dish on the table and then sneak a kiss on Wang Tao., Li Qiuyu was momentarily stunned, then quickly lowered her head., She felt as if she had stumbled upon something extraordinary. Was there something between Wang Tao and his sister-in-law? She wondered if Han Rui was aware. If Han Rui didn’t know, wouldn’t that be too pitiable?, Li Qjuyu subconsciously looked towards Han Rui and noticed her expression seemed a bit awkward., She saw it too! Then… what was their relationship?, Li Qiuyu couldn’t help but let her thoughts wander, and Han Rui was doing the same., She had been reluctant to move in with Wang Tao because she felt like an outsider. Especially since the relationships among the three of them were somewhat complicated…, Was that a stealthy kiss from Ding Yuqin just now? No, Han Rui felt it was a deliberate act for her to see!, Was Ding Yuqin feeling threatened about her position and trying to assert dominance, to let her know who the real mistress was?, Han Rui, who used to enjoy watching court dramas, suddenly had lots of scenarios running through her mind., But Han Rui obviously misunderstood Ding Yuqin. Ding Yuqin wasn’t that scheming. It was just a sudden peck on Wang Tao, something they commonly did at home, a form of affection., During dinner, Wang Tao and Ding Yuqin sat together, while Li Qiuyu and Han Rui sat on the other side., Li Qiuyu and Han Rui seemed to be eating, but their minds were elsewhere., Li Qiuyu was pondering what the post-apocalyptic world was like, whether any order still existed, and if her daughter was still alive… But as she mused, the delicious food in front of her caught her attention, and she decided to stop thinking., Han Rui was contemplating how she would get along with Ding Yuqin if she lived here. She wasn’t someone who knew how to ingratiate herself with men. If Ding Yuqin harbored ill will towards her, it wouldn’t be impossible, since there was only one Wang Tao… She inexplicably felt a sense of crisis!, After the meal, Han Rui escorted Li Qiuyu home., Once outside, Li Qiuyu asked with some curiosity:, “What’s going on between you, Wang Tao, and Ding Yuqin?”, “…It’s exactly what you’re thinking.”, Han Rui was slightly embarrassed., “Ah… okay.”, Li Qiuyu gathered her hair together., This situation didn’t shock her, as she had seen many things before, even during peace times. She just felt it was poignant that Han Rui, such a strong woman, was sharing a husband with another…, Han Rui thought Li Qiuyu was somewhat unable to accept this kind of situation and shook her head., “In the post-apocalyptic world, the strong make the rules. This kind of thing is normal. Besides…” Han Rui suddenly looked at Li Qiuyu, “I suggest you find a strong person to rely on, too. It’d be better for you..”
