Le Yao fully understood that his children were quite different from ordinary children. They were born with supernatural powers and also grew very quickly. However, he still wouldn't haven’t expected them to be as powerful as this, ah.

Xu Yao almost thought that he was mistaken when he had heard the light 'Da!' sound out just moments ago.

So, he brought Xu Hang a little closer to his face and whispered, “Hanghang, you just said Dad, didn’t you? Can you say Dad again?”

The little boss clenched his fist and resolutely uttered another, “Da!”

The pronunciation was not that accurate, but he mumbled the word again with a little grin. It was as if he had understood Xu Yao's question.

The couple were instantly struck by overwhelming emotions!

However, Le Yao also felt rather sour in his heart. It was he who took care of the children every day, and for lengths of time at that! But the first one they called out to was Xu Yao! Hmph!

Usually, he referred to himself as 'Yaoyao' whenever he talked to the children. For example, he would say, 'Come on, little babies, will you let Yaoyao change your diaper?' or 'Today, Yaoyao will take you to a nice place' and so forth.

Only on a few occasions had he called himself 'Dad' when talking to them, but in order to distinguish between himself and Xu Yao, he would add 'small' when referring to himself and 'big' when referring to Xu Yao—such as 'Your Big Dad is back!' In this way, their children wouldn't get confused when trying to recognise and address their parents.

But, it was obvious that the 'Da' uttered just now was for Xu Yao! Because his eldest son's eyes had always stayed on Xu Yao's figure!

Le Yao couldn't stand it! He then bent over and said to the others, “Weiwei, Lili, come, call me Yaoyao, or Small Dad!”

Contrary to his glowing expectations, their second and third child didn't make even a single sound! They simply licked their little fists and looked at Le Yao dazedly.

Le Yao suspected that he soon wouldn't only be just a sour lemon essence, but he would quickly become a big lemon tree with only sour lemons hanging on it!

Why?! This isn't fair, ah…

At this time, Xu Yao suddenly said, “I think it should be related to father-in-law.”

The father-in-law he mentioned was of course the Fengdu Emperor, and not the foolish Le Feishan. With odds of nine out of ten, it was very likely that the current situation had something to do with how the Fengdu Emperor had retained the soul of their first child. Surely it couldn't be that his grandpa had left a dark shadow in his grandson's heart because he had held his soul for so many years of his existence, right?

It was not impossible.

“Even if this is related to my father, I should still be the one he calls out to first. How can it be you?” Le Yao couldn’t think of a logical reason.

“Hah, forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Anyway, I suppose it's also good that he called out to you first.” Although this matter had initially made him feel really upset, it only led to a minor inner conflict before happiness overwhelmed all of his other emotions. It was a wonderful feeling to hear their children call his most favorite person 'Dad'.

“Did President Liu say when the children will be able to stay out of the incubator for longer periods?” Xu Yao, who held the eldest one, felt that he appeared to be pretty comfortable lying in his arms. He didn’t seem to be in a hurry to go back to his bed at all.

“Yes. The temperature of the incubator has been lowered a little. President Liu said that in the next couple of days, we can gradually start to lower the incubator temperature by half degree each day. Then, we should slowly let the children adapt until the temperature reaches around twenty-four degrees first. At this point, we should be able to bring them out for a much longer time.”

“But, even though President Liu said so, in fact, over these past two days, I've been getting the feeling that they don’t really like to stay in the incubator anymore. They're always kicking about and moving restlessly when no one is watching them. I only found out about this when I watched Leslie’s recorded video. Then again, without the incubator, I think it might be very troublesome.”

The functions of the incubator included not only temperature control and stability, but it also offered reminders of when it was time to change the diapers or feed them milk. If a child’s health status was abnormal, the incubator would also give a prompt. All things considered, its presence saved a lot of worry and made it much easier to take care of them.

So, if they no longer stayed in the incubator, all of these points would require his attention! Watching over three children was not a simple matter.

If Xu Yao wasn’t so busy, then it would be feasible. But the reality was that, between the two of them, there were already many tasks to do and many things to plan, and Xu Yao was just very busy handling his things on his own end.

Xu Yao suggested, “Should we find someone to help? Or we could buy two more intelligent robots to help you watch over the children.”

“Let's just put it aside for now. With Leslie’s help, I can still make it through for the time being. Also, they should become easier to care for after they grow a bit bigger.”

Xu Yao had no experience in raising children, but at present, he felt that his children seemed to be especially precocious.

Maybe they could enter the 'safe zone' soon?

Thinking up to this point, the couple no longer discussed the possibility of hiring any helpers. Besides, the soldiers on guard duty also liked the children very much. It would be fine for them to lend a hand if they were idle.

And then there was Han Mo, who was taking this second job to heart by 'abandoning' his duty of guarding Xu Yao, and instead focusing all his time on following Le Yao and the three little babies.

The camp relocation process progressed safely and smoothly. Although the speed of the flight would become extremely fast once they entered a stable flying state, a slow acceleration process was required to be followed after take off. It would take them a full two hours before they could finally arrive at the Flying Wolf Division's Second Station, Wan Di La.

Due to the time difference, it was 7:55 a.m. at the original station, whilst the Second Station was three hours behind, meaning the skies hadn't been brightened yet by dawn. The lowest temperature of the local area of the Second Station was 24°C and the highest it reached was 37°C; compared to the original residence, the weather here was rather pleasant.

Xu Yao saw that his eldest son had already fallen asleep in his arms, so he walked towards the incubator. He said to Le Yao, “If you are tired, then―“

Before he could finish his sentence and just as he bent over to put his eldest son down, Hanghang had already slowly opened his eyes. He was now looking at him with a shriveled mouth, which was about to start crying.

“Wuu~ wa~”

Le Yao laughed at this scene. “It's over. He completely depends on you and doesn't want to be put down.”

Xu Yao quickly hugged their eldest in his arms again, rocking him back and forth. Upon seeing him lick his lips, he swiftly found a bottle of milk and proceeded to feed him.

He said, “Hanghang, do you want Dad to hold you all the way to work?”

Xu Hang shook his little arms lightly and stopped sucking on his pacifier. He smiled at Xu Yao.

His younger brother and sister were sleeping, whereas he was wide awake and full of spirit.

However, it was impossible to carry him around while working. After seeing him finish his milk, Xu Yao placed him into Le Yao's waiting arms.

“Good boy, Small Dad Yaoyao will accompany you and Big Dad will play with you after he comes back at night, okay?”

Le Yao gently held the child upright to help him burp. This time, he didn’t cry even when he saw that Xu Yao was about to leave.

Feeling relieved, Le Yao said, “Go, go. I'll take them out for lunch later. This child really seems to be older than his brother and sister.”

Xu Yao also felt the same way, so he had no objections. Seeing the little mark on their eldest son’s hand, he stroked it gently and wasn't at all surprised when he sensed spiritual qi flowing beneath it.

“Call me if you become too tired. Remember to rest properly and get some sleep.”

They had woken up very early today. Besides, it was really very easy to become sleepy during such weather. Xu Yao rubbed at Le Yao's gland as he hugged him. He couldn't help but snuggle closely and inhale deeply before taking his coat to leave.

Le Yao felt his mouth instantly become dry!

It was only when he saw that a certain Alpha had closed the door and properly left, that he lowly murmured to himself, “He is so damn hot! It’s definitely fatal!”

A deep laugh sounded from outside the mobile house.

Xu Hang tilted his head to the side in askance. He stared at Le Yao and reached his little hands towards his face.

Le Yao gently rubbed the tip of his nose against his eldest son’s forehead. “En, en. You also look good. Neither of you are bad, ah.”

Today, Hanghang was wearing an ash grey koala onesie. There were even plush imitation koala claws on his sleeves. He lifted the claws in an attempt to 'grab' Le Yao, but the latter only felt that the action was soft and cute. It was a lovely scene to be smiled at.

For the Flying Wolf soldiers, since it wasn't their first time moving, they all had ample experience. As the warships arrived, each one would land in a predetermined parking location. The soldiers would then arrange the mobile houses in the living area and complete the relocation of the other facilities. Although they were very busy, it was all well organized.

Le Yao observed the tall figure busying about giving orders and delegating tasks to his subordinates from the window.

Le Yao turned Xu Hang towards the view outside the window. “Hanghang, can you see the people outside? Look, your Big Dad is standing in the crowd, looking absolutely striking. His uniform is really too eye-catching.”

At this time, Xu Yao was wearing a pair of light colored gloves. Only his uniform stood out in the sea of people as it was the darkest, the other officers all wore a lighter shade of blue. This emphasised the color of his gloves as they were in stark contrast to the other dark clothing of his military uniform. It looked just like a picture of a tall pine tree covered under the first snow of the season.

Le Yao then asked Leslie, “Leslie, isn’t it easier for dark clothes to absorb heat? If they don’t wear a cooling suit, they'll feel quite hot later. Has the General always been wearing this type of uniform, even previously?”

“Yes, Madam. The uniforms of our soldiers are all made of special nanomaterials. Although they look different in color, they have certain sun protection and cooling effects, so they won't be hot when they are outside. The General’s gloves are also made of the same material, otherwise he wouldn't wear them at all.”

“No wonder.”

Le Yao looked down at his silent eldest son. It turned out that he was already sound asleep. However, he didn’t rush to put the baby back into the incubator and just hugged him for a while.

Le Yao held him for a long time before he placed him back with the other two, and fortunately, Xu Hang didn’t wake up during this process.

Not wanting to be idle, Le Yao picked up his light brain and began to busy himself.

The school’s online classes had already begun by this time, but because the external network system had yet to be installed at their current location, he couldn't study. Instead, he opened the various articles and information he had previously gathered on cultural relics and began to read those.

The morning passed quickly. The children were fed milk once and then fell asleep again.

Le Yao got up slowly, moving his shoulders and neck to stretch out his stiff muscles.

He glimpsed a man who had his head down and hands inside his pockets through his window all of a sudden. He didn’t know what the other person was thinking so deeply about.

At a glance, he could recognize, through the military uniform, that this person was Yan Jie. The soldiers who could wear the military uniform of this color—with the exception of Yan Jie—were all tall and physically strong Alphas. Only Yan Jie, the technology genius, was relatively slender.

Le Yao was a little curious because even a bystander could see that Yan Jie was troubled by something.

Seeing the children sleep soundly, he sent a voice message through the communicator: “Brother Yan, have you lost something?”

Yan Jie didn’t even notice the new voice message in his communicator.

Le Yao, seeing that it was almost noon, then called Xu Yao, “Husband, it seems that your left-hand man has lost his soul.”

Xu Yao laughed before answering, “Ha ha. You mean Yan Jie? This morning, when we arrived, some of the members of the delegation team went back to Xingdu, including Yang Hengtian.”

During this period, most of the delegation members had already returned home at least twice before they flew back to Huaxia again; only Yang Hengtian never went back.

Fortunately, the Yang Family still had Father Yang to handle the company, otherwise Yang Hengtian could not have stayed on Huaxia for such a long period of time.

“I heard that Madam Yang threatened him with committing suicide if he didn’t go back this time. I don't know the reason for that though. If we hadn’t just arrived here, and encountered some technical problems that still needed Yan Jie’s attention, I think Yang Hengtian would definitely have taken Yan Jie away with him.”

Le Yao looked at the person outside and then raised his wrist to say, “This is obviously lovesickness.”

At this time, Yan Jie finally saw and replied to Le Yao's message. “I didn’t lose something, I was just taking a walk around here.”

Le Yao then said, “I thought you 'lost' President Yang. You don't look too well. Why don’t you come inside for some tea and sweets?”

Although Yan Jie was not in the mood to respond to Le Yao's teasing, he didn't like the strange emotions he was currently experiencing either. So, thinking about it, he decided that it might be better to eat something sweet and politely accepted Le Yao's invitation.

Soon after, he walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Yan Jie didn't avoid the issue and asked frankly, “Mr Xiao Le, do you often feel saddened when you are separated from the General?”

Hearing such a direct question, Le Yao felt a bit embarrassed but still said with a smile, “I didn’t feel it in the beginning, but just after I was marked— Hey, Brother Yan, are you…”

Yan Jie’s face turned red and he hastily refuted, “I haven’t! I’m not an Omega, so there’s no issue of me being marked.”

Le Yao was confused and asked, “So, that means President Yang is very powerful? You exude the scent of his pheromones from all over your body, without even being marked, ah. How did he do it?”



Frozenmirage: No no, they still didn't do that, no worries, Yang Hengtian didn't cross the line… yet(?) hehe~

Qiuxue: Aw, it's super sweet how they're taking things paw by paw with sincerity, but another part of me also wants…

Noks: LY is adorable both as a sour lemon essence and a little teasing fox ????
