"That's right!" Ye Zizheng replied.
Yueyue: !!!
If this Fire God was that Fire God, then his dad was Vulcan?!
The world's number one hacker!
For the first time, he realized how close he was to a big shot.
Seeing his stunned expression, Ye Zizheng said, "You don't know that your mom's codename is 'Crow,' and your dad's codename is 'Vulcan,' do you?"
Yueyue swallowed. He really only found out now.
He had previously checked Qin Beiting's information, and it didn't mention these details at all.
No wonder he was so arrogant!
He'd only teach him after he cracked it!
"However, not many people know that Qin Beiting is Vulcan, so it's not surprising you don't," Ye Zizheng added, moving his computer over. "Let me take a look at this challenge too. I'll help you break it."
Although he questioned Qin Beiting's character, he acknowledged Qin Beiting's abilities!
After all, it was a challenge set by the world's number one hacker, and he wanted to try it out. If he could crack it, it would be something he could brag about for a while.
"No need! I'll figure it out myself." Yueyue pulled his computer back.
Ye Zizheng: "Let me try, what's the big deal? Do you still consider me your uncle!"
Yueyue refused, "You can ask him to give you a challenge."
Ye Zizheng wasn't going to ask Qin Beiting, but his hands were itching. "Then show me the problem, and we'll each work on it separately. Let's see who breaks it first."
Yueyue's competitive spirit was instantly ignited. "Deal!"
And so, for the next half month, Yueyue and Ye Zizheng were engrossed in tackling the challenge Qin Beiting had left.
Seeing Yueyue hiding in his room all day except during mealtimes and not playing with Duoduo, Yu He thought he wasn't feeling well and went to his room to check on him.
"My dear Yueyue, are you feeling unwell? Why are you hiding in your room all day?"
As soon as she entered, she saw Yueyue diligently typing code on his computer and immediately understood.
Her son was more studious and self-disciplined than her daughter, and she never had to worry about his studies.
"No, Mom," Yueyue replied, turning around. "I'm working on some code."
"Do you need Mommy's help?" Yu He leaned over and looked at the code he was working on. She noticed traces of Qin Beiting in the original problem.
Yueyue shook his head. "No, I want to crack it myself."
"Okay. Then you go ahead. Remember to balance work and rest, don't stare at the computer for too long, and let your eyes rest," Yu He reminded him.
Yueyue: "Okay, Mom."
After leaving Yueyue's room, Yu He went to the east wing to find Qin Beiting.
Lately, she had felt Qin Beiting was acting a bit strange. He prepared breakfast every morning so it was ready when she and the children woke up.
After breakfast, he would go out or return to the east wing to work. He would come back for lunch, then continue working after his nap, and eat dinner here. After dinner, he would play with the children, take his bath, put them to bed, and then return to the east wing.
The reason Yu He found him strange was that he no longer shamelessly asked to stay in the west wing, as he used to.
At first, Yu He thought he was playing hard to get and would eventually reveal his true colors within three days. However, half a month had passed, and he remained steadfast.
This made Yu He doubt herself, wondering if she no longer had any attraction for him.
In the small office in the east wing, Qin Beiting was busy at his computer. He looked somewhat surprised when Yu He entered.
"Baby, why are you here?"
This was the first time the young lady had come to find him here since she was discharged from the hospital.
"Did you lock Yueyue's computer?" Yu He asked.
Qin Beiting didn't deny it. "I saw him messing with code, so I gave him a little challenge. Surely our son can't fail to crack that challenge?"
"He's still young, there's no need to put so much pressure on him. Besides, I don't expect them to be extraordinary. I just want them to grow up safely and healthily," Yu He said.
Qin Beiting looked at the maternal tenderness that inadvertently showed on her face. He felt that she had become even more captivating since giving birth.
He couldn't help but pull Yu He closer, making her sit on his lap.
"What are you doing!" Yu He chided playfully.
Qin Beiting didn't let her go, holding her slender waist tightly. "Don't move, let me hold you for a while. And let's see what our son has to say."
As he spoke, he picked up his phone and sent Yueyue a text message in front of Yu He: [Not cracked yet? If you really can't, you can ask me for help three times.]
Yueyue quickly replied: [No need, I'll crack it!]
He could feel his determination through the screen.
Qin Beiting raised his phone. "See, our son is not as fragile as you think."
"Yueyue is much more mature than Duoduo. He's probably like me," Yu He said.
"I think Yueyue is like me, and Duoduo is more like you," Qin Beiting said, then added, "You were so soft and cuddly when you were little."
Thinking about how this man had said he liked her since she was very young, Yu He became wary and said with a sly grin, "You're not that perverted, are you?"
"What are you thinking!" Qin Beiting tickled Yu He's waist.
"Ah," Yu He yelped, afraid of being tickled, and struggled. Her hand accidentally hit the mouse on the desk.
Qin Beiting immediately stopped teasing her and grabbed her hand that had accidentally hit the desk. "Does your hand hurt?"
Yu He deliberately said, "Yes."
Qin Beiting tenderly massaged her hand, then kissed it. "Does it still hurt?"
"..."
This was too much!
Yu He quickly withdrew her hand and noticed the travel itinerary displayed on his computer screen.
"Are you going on a trip?" she asked.
"It's us. Chinese New Year is coming soon. How about we go to Lucheng for the holiday? It's warmer there," Qin Beiting asked, resting his chin on Yu He's shoulder.
They had been to Lucheng together before, but they hadn't stayed long and had left in a hurry.
"Let's bring the children, invite Grandma, Mom and Dad, your brothers, and Sweetheart, Shen Yao, and others. Let's have a lively New Year together," Qin Beiting added.
Yu He couldn't deny that she was tempted. She hadn't had a good gathering with everyone since she returned.
She didn't agree immediately and chided playfully, "Mom and Dad? They're not here. Who are you trying to impress by acting like a good boy!"
"Don't you want to marry me?" Qin Beiting retorted.
"Is this how you propose?" Yu He suddenly stood up, looking disgusted.
This man used to be quite romantic. How had he become so foolish now?
Qin Beiting wanted to say, "Of course not," but Yu He had already left, saying, "Dream on!"
"So, are we going to Lucheng?" Qin Beiting pressed.
Yu He's voice came from the distance outside the door: "Yes."
Qin Beiting's lips curved upwards, and he immediately picked up his phone and called Chen Dong, who had returned after a month of training in Africa, and told him to make arrangements according to the plan.
