Self-destruction, Part 3

“Oh my god, who is that kid? He’s so strong! I remember that iron rack weighs at least a hundred kilograms, and he lifted it with one hand.”

“You’re just shocked now? I’m starting to think Beibei did it on purpose. How else could a hundred-kilogram rack topple over?” It must have been deliberate.

“I think Beibei did it on purpose too. But wasn’t he scared?”

“That was Guaiguai who caught the rack, right? If Guaiguai could lift it with one hand, maybe Beibei is just as strong.”

“Isn’t that obvious? Yesterday, Beibei tore a bedsheet into shreds. How much strength do you think that took?”

“Oh, right! Those sheets are super sturdy. I remember at home, we couldn’t even cut one with scissors.”

Everyone chimed in, marvelling at the performance of the six little kids. Then suddenly, someone spoke up, “These six are all so cute. But don’t you think there’s a slight difference between the three boys and the three girls?”

“The three girls look a bit more delicate, while the boys look a bit more handsome.”

“Yeah, they really grew up well.”

“Hey, remember those six kids that were supposedly sold from the ship in District Eight? None of them looked anything like these.”

“So, what about those six kids?”

“Maybe the child traffickers were trying to sell them off.”

“Right! Someone claimed the general’s wife sold her children. But looking at these six cuties, who would ever sell them?”

“Thank goodness General Mo took them off into space. Otherwise, I’d be tempted to form a team to snatch them.”

“Haha, you’re reading my mind. I want to steal them too!”

“General Mo, why don’t you and your wife have a few more and send some our way to play with?”

“Haha, great idea! I think the general must have a gene for twins. And since the kids are so beautiful, that means the mom must be beautiful too. But has anyone noticed? The general has been hiding his wife’s face!”

“General Mo is so stingy!”

“I think the general must have hurt his wife, so he doesn’t dare to let her show her face?” After all, the kiss mark on the arm in the photo was too obvious.

Everyone tacitly laughed.

Mo Mo was a little speechless. He was simply worried that his wife was too beautiful. If anyone looked at her and felt tempted, it would really bother him.

Why should his wife be seen by others?

Mo Mo said directly, “Just look at the children!”

“The general is so stingy!”

“Yeah, so stingy! Come on, General, don’t be so selfish.”

“Wait, I have a feeling… Don’t you think the hand in the photo looks a bit like the hand of the Master?”

The Master’s hand?

Some doubted it and went to compare. Then someone came back and said, “It really does look like the Master’s hand!”

“So… General Mo is with the Master?”

“No way! The woman with the General is called Ye Mo.”

“Who says Ye Mo couldn’t be the Transcendent Plant Master?”

“Could she be?”

People began speculating. Was it really her or not?

Mo Mo said nothing, letting them guess as they pleased. After letting the netizens watch the six kids playing for a while, he shut off the video feed and sat beside Ye Mo. “Momo, what do we do if your identity as the Master is exposed?”

Ye Mo blinked. “We’re not in interstellar space anymore. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Mo Mo thought about it and agreed. They weren’t in interstellar space, and nobody knew they could teleport back, so it wouldn’t affect them at all.

With the video as evidence, all the previous rumours were completely dispelled.

However, Yu He saw the video. She had originally planned to say she saw Ye Mo on the ship and that Zhang Yuming had indeed dragged her into space. But how could she explain the Ye Mo in the video? Even without seeing her face, she was sure it was Ye Mo.

What was going on?

Did General Mo find her a body double?

The thought made Yu He feel especially uneasy.

Why? Why was this happening?

Clearly, Ye Mo—no, she should be Yu Mo—should be bowing and scraping before her! She should be timid and cowardly, not like this Ye Mo who looked so aggressive. That couldn’t be how Yu Mo looked.

Yu Mo wasn’t supposed to be strong! She wasn’t supposed to be confident!

Where did it all go wrong?

Yu He’s mind was now full of anger. Even as she held the baby, she couldn’t help but show it.

Originally, she thought this child was Yu Mo’s, but when she found out she had been deceived, she was relieved. Raising Yu Mo’s child would have disgusted her.

But Yu He didn’t know that her intense negativity was affecting the baby she was holding. The child had a fierce soul, but after consuming the Life Water, a bit of that fierceness had been reduced. Yu He’s care had also softened the child’s aggressive nature.

Now, however, Yu He’s anger was triggering the child’s old nature. Suddenly, the baby let out a loud wail.

No matter how hard Yu He tried, she couldn’t calm the baby down. She didn’t have time to check the online discussions anymore.

Yuan Lili heard the baby’s cries and hurried over. She took the child from Yu He, and as soon as she held him, the baby stopped crying.

Yuan Lili widened her eyes. “Did you hurt the baby?”

Yu He felt wronged but couldn’t explain. How could she? Everyone knew babies don’t lie. They could instantly tell who treated them well and who didn’t.

“Mom, I didn’t hurt him!” Yu He tried to explain, but Yuan Lili didn’t believe her. After all, the baby wouldn’t even look at her.

Yuan Lili walked away with the baby, and before long, the child was happy again.

Ye Mo never expected that the child Mo Mo had arranged for Yu He was such a troublemaker.

But Ye Mo had no time to find out, because during the day, the kids clung to her, and at night, it was Mo Mo who clung to her.

Ye Mo wanted to refuse… But was that even possible? Mo Mo was not giving her any chance to say no. After abstaining for so long, he wasn’t about to go back to eating plain food. That would be a dream.

Ye Mo thought about returning to Blue Sky Star… But that was a fantasy. Mo Mo had finally brought her into his nest, and he wasn’t letting her leave.

Ye Mo had no way out. Every evening, Mo Mo would throw the six little ones into the space and take her straight to bed. What could she do?

Fight back? They were legally married!

Make a scene? That would only embarrass her in front of the whole ship’s crew.

Yell at him? Sorry, she really couldn’t bring herself to do that.

She dug her own pit by marrying this man, and now she had to lie in it.
