Chapter 454 The Predator Trapping Plan (53)
When Grandpa Qin and Qin's father left, both of them had angry expressions on their faces.
Qin's mother looked back several times as she walked out of the living room, then turned back a few seconds later: "Shao'er, come out here, Mom has something to tell you."
This clearly meant that he wanted to avoid Yan Zhen and talk to Qin Shao alone.
Qin Shao subconsciously turned his questioning gaze to Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen waved his hand, signaling him to go.
Qin Shao then walked out with his mother.
Qin Ma saw this scene and her eyes darkened.
The mother and son walked to the corridor outside the living room. With no one around, Qin's mother whispered to Qin Shao, "Shao'er, listen to my advice, go home. If you go home, you won't have to put up with other people's attitudes anymore, and you won't have to put up with her changing her socks only once every seven days..."
Qin Shao looked completely bewildered: "What?"
“She…your wife.” Qin’s mother had been taught from a young age not to speak ill of others behind their backs, so it was somewhat difficult for her to say anything bad about Yan Zhen. “I know you don’t like her, but you were forced by her to marry her and have children all these years. You’ve suffered so much…”
Qin Shao: "...That's not true. She and I are truly in love."
"You don't need to lie to me." Qin's mother's eyes reddened. "She told me herself that she abused you for almost two years to force you to marry her!"
Qin Shao: "..."
Remembering Yan Zhen's tendency to speak without thinking, Qin Shao wasn't too surprised that she would make up such a lie.
Since she's already said it, I can't very well contradict her.
Thinking of this, Qin Shao sighed: "It's all in the past. I've gotten used to it over the years."
"Get used to it? How can you get used to something like this!" Tears streamed down Qin's mother's face as she grabbed Qin Shao's arm. "Come back with me. With the Qin family as your support, no one will dare to bully you again."
Qin Shao gently pulled away from Qin Ma's hand: "You are not my support, she is."
"But she bullied you!"
“I’m willing, and she won’t let anyone else bully me.” Qin Shao’s expression was firm. “She’s the one who can give me a sense of security.”
The way Qin's mother looked at him was as if she were looking at a fool who had been brainwashed by a cult.
"Shao'er, you..."
"Instead of trying to persuade me here, you might as well save your energy and go back to the Qin family to persuade Grandfather and Father to move out as soon as possible." After Qin Shao finished speaking, he added, "If you don't move out, she will be unhappy and will beat me again."
Qin Ma: "!!!"
Qin Ma's tears never stopped when she left.
Qin Shao returned to the reception room, but Yan Zhen had already left. The adjutant said she had gone to the armory.
When Qin Shao went to the armory, Yan Zhen was inspecting the weapons left behind by the Thorne family.
She disassembled a gun and carefully examined its internal structure.
Qin Shao hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently rubbed against her.
Yan Zhen was busy with what he was doing and didn't turn his head: "Your mother is gone?"
"Hmm," Qin Shao said, "You told her you change your socks every seven days?"
Yan Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he recalled what happened six years ago when Qin Ma cornered him on the spaceship: "Yes, I even said you were the dog trainer my family bought."
"No wonder."
"What's the wonder?"
"No wonder she felt that I was being treated like a terrible humiliation by being with you."
Yan Zhen loaded the gun, turned around and asked Qin Shao, "If they don't move, should we really fight?"
"Yes, I'm determined to get A001."
"why?"
"First, C032 is indeed not suitable for habitation. We need to wear protective suits to leave the underground. Second, you have gone to so much trouble to pave the way for me. If I were to back out now, I would be too unworthy."
"What about third?"
Qin Shao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to marry you."
Yan Zhen was taken aback.
Qin Shao lowered his head to fidget with the metal buttons on her clothes, avoiding her gaze: "Even birds need to build nests to court mates. To form a family, you need to create a good living environment first... Are you willing?"
Yan Zhen did not answer immediately.
Qin Shao waited anxiously for a while but didn't get a reply from Yan Zhen. He quietly raised his head and found Yan Zhen staring at him with a frown.
Qin Shao's heart skipped a beat: "You...don't want to?"
Yan Zhen sighed, took a step forward, put her hands on Qin Shao's neck, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek.
Qin Shao instinctively put his arm around her waist, somewhat bewildered by her action.
"I like you, but I don't want to get married," Yan Zhen said. "How about we stay together until we grow old and die, but don't get married or have children?"
Qin Shao asked, puzzled, "Then what's the difference between that and getting married?"
"Is there no difference?"
"No."
"Then why get married?"
Qin Shao: "..."
"It's settled then." Yan Zhen pinched his cheek. "Boss Qin is so good."
After saying that, she released Qin Shao and quickly left.
Qin Shao stood there, staring blankly at her retreating figure.
After a long pause, he let out a sigh of resignation.
Fine, if we don't want to get married, then we don't want to get married. As long as she's the one I'm with, that's fine.

For the next two months, Qin Shao and Yan Zhen were busy unifying A001.
C032 was invincible against nobles and forces that refused to submit, fighting and killing them at will.
For the past two months, the Qin family has remained completely silent.
They neither stopped Qin Shao and Yan Zhen from expanding their territory, nor did they intend to move away.
Yan Zhen realized that the Qin family was planning to respond passively.
They didn't seem to believe that Qin Shao would really target the Qin family.
Qin Shao didn't hesitate either. One day, he took some time to go to the prestigious school and picked up his younger brother, Qin He, as the older brother when he finished class.
Qin He stayed at Qin Shao's house for three days.
At the age of fifteen, the boy was curious about everything. In addition, he had heard a lot about Qin Shao's heroic deeds in the interstellar war from interstellar news, and he had a heroic filter on Qin Shao.
He was having so much fun at Qin Shao's house that he forgot all about home, and even became a gaming buddy with Haier.
The Qin family was nearly driven mad with worry when they discovered Qin He was missing and tried to locate him by checking surveillance footage, but to no avail.
On the evening of the third day, Qin Shao personally escorted Qin He home.
The Qin family members wept with joy when they saw Qin He emerge unharmed from the aircraft.
But when they looked up and met Qin Shao's ambiguous smile inside the aircraft, their expressions tightened.
The Qin family then realized that taking Qin He away was Qin Shao's first warning to them.
If they don't move out soon, Qin He might not be able to come back unscathed next time.
That evening, the Qin family issued a notice to the entire interstellar community, announcing that the entire clan would be moving away from A001 and relocating to a planet seven hundred light-years away.
At this point, A001 changed lords.

Yan Zhen stayed in this world until she was sixty years old, when she passed away due to illness and returned to the Quick Transmigration Division.
Transmigrating outside the palace, Yan Zhen materialized a body and landed lightly on the ground.
Xiao Qi, who was waiting outside the Quick Transmigration Bureau, immediately flapped its wings excitedly and flew over, squawking as it landed on her shoulder.
Yan Zhen did not immediately enter the Quick Transmigration Division, but waited in place for a few minutes.
Xiao Qi asked, puzzled, "Master, who are you waiting for?"
“The mirror sinks.”
“My Lord God,” Xiao Qi checked the system, “he’s not dead yet.”
Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow slightly.
In the previous worlds, as soon as I withdrew, Jingchen would end his own life and then return.
It was somewhat unexpected that she didn't come back with them this time.
