Chapter 140: Chapter 140

Guan Heng stared at Yu Man in a daze, not blinking, "What did sister say? Could you... say it again?"

Yu Man didn’t tease him and repeated, "I said, after I give birth to this child, we will register for marriage."

"Did you hear it this time?"

Guan Heng’s mouth almost curled up to the sky, "I heard it, I heard it!"

At this moment, it seemed like ten thousand fireworks exploded in Guan Heng’s spiritual sea!

If it weren’t for Yu Man’s belly, he really wanted to hug her and spin around!

He really wanted to shout this good news to the world!

Guan Heng looked at Yu Man like a fool, "Sister, can I... can I kiss you?"

Yu Man didn’t say anything, which was an implicit consent.

Guan Heng, clumsy with excitement, kissed Yu Man’s cheek and then grinned like a love-struck puppy.

Yu Man sat next to him, lifted his chin, and kissed him directly.

Guan Heng’s heart was pounding.

Pale pink spiritual power involuntarily surged out, forming a small pink dolphin.

The little dolphin inexperienced in romance was quickly overwhelmed, and its ears turned red.

Suddenly, Yu Man’s Light Brain flickered.

She glanced down; it was a call from Lu Cheng.

"Man, bad news! Someone grabbed it first!" Lu Cheng sobbed, "Man, the house next door got bought!"

"It’s all Shang Yuan’s fault for not keeping an eye! If I’d known, I would have bought it first! Now we can’t be neighbors!"

"Why don’t I have Shang Yuan find out who bought it, and maybe we can negotiate with them?"

Yu Man chuckled, "No need..."

"Ah..." Lu Cheng was disappointed, "So Man still doesn’t plan to move?"

"No, I’m planning to move next door to you."

"Next door..." Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment.

"The place next door is now my house," Yu Man said with a smile, "Guan Heng bought it for me."

Yu Man leaned on Guan Heng, eyes filled with laughter.

She felt as if she could hear Guan Heng’s heartbeat. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on n0velfire.net

Lu Cheng’s emotions were like a roller coaster!

"So, the buyer is Guan Heng? You’re moving to be my neighbor! Ahhh!!"

Lu Cheng screamed with excitement, "That’s great!!"

"Man, when are you moving? I’ll have a few people from home help you move!"

"No rush, we should check out the new home first, right?"

If it’s not to her liking, they might have to refurbish it a bit.

The next day, under Lu Cheng’s constant urging and sweet talking, Yu Man went to see the house.

The villa was three stories high, with a layout somewhat similar to Lu Cheng’s home, European in style, and even had an area outside for plants.

Moreover, there was a large swimming pool. For someone like Yu Man with Fish Clan genes, it was perfect.

Once they did a little refurbishing, changing what she didn’t like, they could probably move.

"As long as sister likes it!" Since Yu Man mentioned the general time for their union, Guan Heng hadn’t stopped smiling.

"I know a lot of people who can do the renovations; I guarantee that sister can move in within a month!"

Guan Heng didn’t actually know any renovators, but he could ask his dad for help.

A son asking his father for help—what’s to be embarrassed about? Not a bit!

"Then I’ll trouble you," Yu Man nodded.

"Sister..." Guan Heng looked at Yu Man, "Once the renovations are done, could I... can I have a room? I don’t need much; I just want to be close to sister."

"Any room will do; I can even stay in the utility room!"

Yu Man accepted his cohabitation request, "Okay, I’ll save a room for you."

"There are plenty of rooms inside; pick one yourself. No need to stay in the utility room."

Anyone who didn’t know better might think she was mistreating her fiancé.

"Alright, let’s go back."

After viewing the house, Yu Man went next door to Lu Cheng to pick up Manman.

Manman waved to Shang Yu, "Bye, brother! I’ll play with you next time!"

He heard that Manman would be going to school with him and living next door in the future!

Shang Yu was overjoyed.

Not long after they got home, they happened to run into Song Chen returning.

Recently, Song Chen had been on a business trip and secured a partnership with another company.

Yu Man thought of Esie Burles and asked about the business situation.

Before Song Chen could speak, Guan Heng looked at Yu Man in surprise.

"Sister, when did you become involved with the Burles family?"

Guan Heng was no longer an outsider, so Yu Man told him about Esie Burles.

"The Burles family... is quite... messy." Guan Heng opened his mouth, unsure how to describe the Burles family.

As the eldest son of the Guan family, he knew more than most.

"Sister, their family has opened many zoos under the guise of animal protection, who knows how many animals they’ve kept."

But how many of those protected animals receive proper care remains to be evaluated.

The Burles family’s zoos are quite famous because their animal performances are spectacular.

Rather than calling them animal performances, it’s more accurate to call them Beastman performances.

Currently, animal protection laws are strict, so animal performances are banned.

But some people enjoy watching animal performances—what to do? Have Beastmen shift into their animal forms to perform.

Animal performances aren’t allowed, but Beastman performances are. Yet, frequent high-difficulty acts harm their health.

The Beastmen performing for their family are selected from the Undersea City, trained from a young age. Once they’ve outlived their usefulness, they’re sent back to fend for themselves.

The high-intensity training leaves them with injuries and ailments, and Burles, as capitalists, aren’t interested in hiring Purification Masters for their stressed Beastmen, or even providing Suppressants.

Few Beastmen sent back to the Undersea City meet a good end.

Doesn’t anyone regulate Burles’ actions?

They do, but effectiveness is limited.

They have plenty of ways to skirt the rules.

Yu Man immediately thought of Lai.

If he hadn’t escaped, Lai’s fate wouldn’t be better than those Beastmen.

"Sister, if the Burles family really wants Rest Pod technology, don’t give it to them—they’re not good people."

"And don’t worry, the Guan family is Huafeng Technology’s top partner. With us around, the Burles family can’t do anything."

Guan Heng then added in a low voice, "But their family doesn’t follow conventions. If they can’t get the Rest Pod technology, who knows what they might do? Sister should be cautious."

"I know." Yu Man shifted her gaze to Song Chen, "Song Chen, has Burles been in contact with your company?"

Song Chen thought for a moment, "Yes, when I returned to the company today, the third son of the Burles family came to deliver an invitation, inviting me to a banquet tomorrow night."
