Chapter 383: Confirm relocation

Liang Yu heard this conversation just as he approached.

His lovely wife, Lan Ling, asked Xiao Yizi to give her the sugar. The recipe said to add a little sugar for freshness. Xiao Yizi, having heard the recipe’s instructions, actively went to look for white granulated sugar.

However, when she handed it to Lan Ling, Lan Ling noticed something was off. Lan Ling, before adding any seasoning, habitually took a tiny bit to taste, and that’s when she discovered that Xiao Yizi had given her small, crystalline grains of coarse salt instead of white granulated sugar.

This action led to a round of ridicule from Lan Ling, who said that for someone her age, she couldn’t even distinguish between white sugar and salt, calling it hopeless.

However, she didn’t realize that she was just the same; if she hadn’t tasted it herself, how could she have distinguished between white sugar and coarse salt?

Liang Yu saw all of this. This noisy atmosphere made Liang Yu feel like he was home.

He enjoyed this atmosphere and did not disturb the Lan Ling sisters until Xiao Yizi turned around and noticed him.

Only then did Lan Ling glance at him, then ignored him, focusing instead on the pot of braised pork hocks she was cooking.

When Xiao Yizi saw Liang Yu, her face flushed slightly, and she quietly greeted him, intending to hide in her room, but Lan Ling called her back.

The reason was very simple: dinner would be ready soon, so why go to her room? Then Lan Ling rolled her eyes at Liang Yu and said,

“Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come over and help.”

Liang Yu smiled and walked forward, glancing at the pork hocks in the pot. It had a lot of pickled vegetables, like sauerkraut, and even many pickled chilies.

At this moment, he wasn’t concerned about the taste, but rather how his body would react after eating it. After all, there were no proctologists here now.

It was a good thing he had a medical kit; otherwise, he really wouldn’t have dared to eat this meal.

At the dinner table, the three of them had eaten about half when Liang Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks, his expression somewhat serious.

“I originally planned to say this later, but I’ll ask you two now.”

He couldn’t help it; the dish was simply too spicy, and there was a whole iron pot full of it. He could only use this matter to interrupt.

Then Liang Yu brought up the topic of relocating, wanting to hear their opinions.

After all, the Underground World seemed much better in every way; at least the temperature outside was normal, and there were Indigenous people there. Although there were cultural differences, it wouldn’t be so boring.

As for how to get there, Liang Yu didn’t say, only that they would go to a paradise, and the outside world was not like it was now.

Lan Ling, who had been to the Underground World, quickly understood what Liang Yu was talking about. She began to think, and at the same time, briefly explained the situation there to her sister, Mu Yunxi.

Mu Yunxi’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as she listened to her sister’s description.

But Lan Ling frowned, saying worriedly,

“But we’re used to living here, and will there be other dangers in the Underground World?”

Liang Yu nodded and explained,

“There are indeed risks, but under normal circumstances, there won shouldn’t be any problems.”

“We don’t know when this situation will end here. First, it was a cold wave, now it’s extreme heat, and after the extreme heat, many monsters appeared.”

“Who knows what will happen in the future.”

Lan Ling hesitated for a moment, then looked at her sister, wanting to know her thoughts.

Mu Yunxi held her sister’s hand and said,

“Sister, I want to try. Every day here is so difficult. We can only stay in the RV, at most going out to play in the water for a bit. After a long time, it gets boring. I want to see a better place.”

Hearing her sister’s words, Lan Ling finally made up her mind.

“Alright, then let’s move there.”

“When do we start moving?”

Liang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing their answer. As of now, the Underground World was far, far better than here; simply the living environment was incomparable.

Moreover, he felt that the two of them must have misunderstood; after going there, the current technology would also be brought along. In fact, it was just moving to a different environment, but since the two of them agreed, he didn’t say much more. They would know once they got there.

“Alright, within these two days, I’ll find a time.”

“You don’t need to pack anything; just bring what needs to be brought from outside, and everything else will remain as usual.”

The two of them didn’t say much after hearing this. Seeing that Liang Yu was done, they focused on eating again.

Just like that, time quickly came to evening.

Everyone in the RV came out to the armored vehicle, saying goodbye to Su Lan and An Jintong, who were leaving for a business trip.

After spending this time together, everyone had become familiar with each other, especially Yi Yi, who was now crying her eyes out.

She turned and rushed towards Liang Yu, hugging his leg, looking as humble as could be at that moment.

This embrace made the others nearby feel heartbroken.

At this moment, Yi Yi’s voice, mixed with sobs, came from below.

“Shu Shu!”

“Can you please not make Sister Su Lan and Sister An leave?”

Liang Yu looked at the two of them with question marks when he heard this.

Su Lan, feeling a bit embarrassed, rubbed her nose, and An Jintong stepped forward to explain.

It wasn’t that the two of them had misled Yi Yi; they had told her that they were going on an overseas business trip, but the little girl refused to believe it no matter what.

She also asked them how long the business trip would be, and they didn’t know the duration, so their answer was vague, which led to the misunderstanding.

At this moment, Lan Ling squatted down, gently stroking Yi Yi’s head and comforting her.

“Be a good girl, Yi Yi. The sisters are just going to work for a short while and will be back very soon.”

Yi Yi lifted her tear-stained little face and looked at Liang Yu, half-believing, half-doubting.

After Su Lan and An Jintong got into the car, the armored vehicle slowly started.

Yi Yi broke free from Lan Ling’s embrace, ran a few steps after the car, and shouted,

“Sisters, be sure to come back soon!”

The two in the car waved back at her.

After they left in Mario’s car, Yi Yi was taken back by Mu Yunxi. Only then did Lan Ling speak.

“If we leave, what about them?”

Her meaning was very clear: first, if their group left, wouldn’t they be abandoning those two?

The other point was about the identity of the two; she wasn’t stupid, especially how An Jintong looked at Liang Yu as if he were prey.

Now, it depended on Liang Yu’s attitude. It was her idea in the first place to have an extra person to share the burden.

So, Lan Ling was very much looking forward to Liang Yu’s answer.

However, at this moment, Liang Yu either genuinely didn’t understand or pretended not to.

He answered very frankly.

“What do you mean, ‘what about them’?”

“Would a boss abandon such useful employees?”

“After the overseas assignment is over, Mario will bring the two of them over.”

“However, there’s one thing I do need to tell you: Su Lan is a bit special, so you need to be careful.”
