Coming of the Villain Boss! - Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Zombie Note (21)

Left with no choice, Ding Qiuyi took the two of them to see Ye Ji’an.

Such a difficult issue should be left to the commander.

Ye Ji’an was in a meeting, so Ding Qiuyi brought the two of them into another meeting room. He told them that he had to go and collect supplies outside the base and slipped off.

He could never understand what youngsters were thinking.

The minute Ding Qiuyi left, the meeting room became a war zone.

“Do you have to go against me?” Xu Shuo looked at Ming Shu and asked sincerely.

Ming Shu started eating. “Who asked you to keep following me?”

“Keep following you… It’s an honor to have me around.”

“Oh, then please give this honor to someone else. Your Majesty, I don’t want it.”

“Your Majesty? The Qing Dynasty fell a long time ago. Is your throne still there?” Xu Shuo couldn’t help himself and mocked her.

Ming Shu raised her head and smiled. The next second, she threw the ornaments on the table at him.

“Hey, why do you always hurt people when you’re angry!”

“I just want to hurt you.”

“Don’t go overboard. I’ll be angry.”

Ming Shu used her fist to reply to Xu Shuo.

Their fight ended with Ye Ji’an entering the meeting room in anticipation.

Xu Shuo was invited out of the room by Ye Ji’an. Seeing his daughter in front of him, Ye Ji’an was very excited.

Ye Ji’an was well-built and had a stern face. Such an appearance with such a status made him quite scary.

However, in front of Ming Shu, he was just a caring father.

Ye Ji’an was full of concern and asked a few questions before he hurriedly brought Ming Shu home.

Due to the overlage population, Ye Ji’an lived in a residential building even though he was the commander, the highest-ranking person in the base. However, he did have an entire floor to himself.

“Commander.”

“Commander.”

On the way up, they met many people who greeted Ye Ji’an. They looked at Ming Shu curiously.

“Who is that girl beside the commander?”

“I don’t know, never seen her before…”

“I heard that she’s the commander’s daughter. She just arrived today.”

“The commander has a daughter? He doesn’t even have a wife, right?”

“I heard that before he came over to this place, he was already married. It won’t be weird if he had a daughter then, right? But for some reason, the commander didn’t fetch his daughter until now.”

The commotion faded away as they climbed to the highest floor.

“Mister Ye is back.” A lady heard the door open and welcomed them with a smile.

“Yes. Please prepare two more dishes today.” Ye Ji’an nodded.

The lady looked at Ming Shu in surprise. “And this girl is?”

“My daughter,” Ye Ji’an said proudly. “This is Aunt Ning.”

Ning?

Same surname as the fake protagonist? This surname is not common…

Are they related?

Aunt Ning was shocked. Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions as she wiped her hands on her apron and greeted Ming Shu with a bit of fear. “Miss Ye.”

Ming Shu pursed her lips and nodded slightly. Aunt Ning smiled awkwardly and said, “I shall go prepare.”

“They gave her to me so that someone could cook for me.” Ye Ji’an brought Ming Shu to the study and said tiredly, “Most of the time, I won’t be home. When things are busy, I have to work night and day.”

“I heard that it’s getting harder to maintain the base?” Ming Shu went to close the door and she saw Aunt Ning peeking at them. Aunt Ning hurried back to the kitchen as though she was pricked by a needle.

Ming Shu closed the door and sat opposite Ye Ji’an.

The last time the Host met Ye Ji’an was two years ago during her middle school exam. Ye Ji’an took the Host to the exam venue but left before her exam ended.

Two years had passed. Ye Ji’an looked much older.

Ye Ji’an contemplated his words. “In this past month, more and more survivors came to the base and the population exploded. The base can’t support so many people, but none can we leave the survivors outside. They are all human.”

Ming Shu looked up at Ye Ji’an. He didn’t seem to know that the base was collecting zombie crystals from those that wished to enter…

This rule was very common in Doomsday, where supplies were scarce and each base had its own limits.

However, from Ye Ji’an’s tone, this rule wasn’t set by him.

As a commander, he probably had many things to do. It was normal that he didn’t know of this small rule.

Ming Shu didn’t plan to tell him.

“Let’s not talk about this.” Ye Ji’an waved his hand. “How have you been? You must have been through many hardships, right?”

Hardships?

If not for Xu Shuo, she would have led quite an enjoyable life.

The two of them chatted in the study for a while before Aunt Ning called them to eat.

The meal wasn’t extravagant, but there was meat and fish.

Aunt Ning scooped rice for them and then sat down in front of Ming Shu.

Ming Shu glanced at her. Ye Ji’an didn’t stop her. She probably ate with Ye Ji’an before.

“I didn’t know that Miss Ye would be back today so I didn’t prepare much food. Please try and see if they suit your tastes. I will make more food for you tonight.”

“I’m not picky.” Ming Shu smiled.

Aunt Ning heaved a sigh of relief and asked Ming Shu to eat more while she scooped food into Ye Ji’an’s bowl.

Ye Ji’an kept talking to Ming Shu and asked her to eat more. He didn’t have much interaction with Aunt Ning.

However, Ming Shu was totally serious when she was eating and didn’t talk much.

Food is life.

We must be serious toward it.

This series of actions caused Ye Ji’an to feel guilty. If he had brought her to the base earlier, she wouldn’t have had to be alone. She wouldn’t have had to fight zombies and travel all the way here to find him.

As a father, his heart ached.

“Eat more, eat more…” Ye Ji’an’s eyes turned red.

“Mister Ye, please eat more, too. There is more food here.”

“Okay.”

The entire table of food was wiped out after a while. Ming Shu rubbed her stomach.

“Aunt Ning, please prepare a room for Miao Miao later and collect some toiletries. Also, check to see if she needs anything and get it for her.”

Ye Ji’an needed to leave right after the meal. He had many things to do.

“Yes, Mister Ye. I will see to it.”

“Miao Miao, I will be back in the evening. You can take a rest first.”

“Okay.” Ming Shu waved goodbye to Ye Ji’an and accompanied him to the door.

“Which room is mine?”

“This one.” Aunt Ning guided her to a room. “This room was a storage room so it is a bit messy, but the necessities are all present.”

The room was not big and was indeed messy. However, it was enough for her.

The study was just beside the room, too.

Aunt Ning quickly tidied up the room and changed the bedsheets.

Ming Shu stared at her. After much effort, she finally dug out this Aunt Ning from her memory.

When the Host reached the base, this Aunt Ning was also present. They lived together quite peacefully until the day the Host learned Aunt Ning’s intentions.

The host used some tactics to chase Aunt Ning away.

Not long after she left, Aunt Ning died. Aunt Ning was Ning Le’s mother. Ning Le came to the base at this time and thought that the Host killed her mother.

This caused the whole series of actions after that.

Including the destruction of the base.

Aunt Ning was the spark…
