Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1361 - 17: Parent-Child Fair (Part 1)_3

"Let me tell you, don’t worry, the new house I bought is definitely not worse than your neighbor’s." Shiqi laughed, "Prime location in Cangdu, top-notch environment, with a family swimming pool and garage. I guarantee you won’t miss your old house after staying for just two nights."

"We’re used to living in the old house, no rush to move." Mr. Gongsun gave his son a scrutinizing look, "But Ah Ce, is your new house really that beautiful? Where did you get the money to buy such a nice place?"

"I..." Shiqi started to speak but was silenced by a gesture from his dad. "You’re not allowed to speak. Ah Kai, tell your uncle."

"You don’t trust me just because I’m not your biological son?" Shiqi glared.

Mr. Gongsun nodded, "Exactly, it’s because of your mouth that I don’t trust it."

Mo Yuankai struggled to hold back his laughter, coughing twice: "Cough! Uncle, rest assured, it’s indeed a legal project collaborated with the Cangdu government, using our Superpower as a research sample to develop many practical technological achievements, all of which will be exhibited at the garden fair. As for the house, we actually took a shortcut; ready-made villas are hard to buy, but building one yourself is much easier..."

"I knew it, it’s a self-built country house!" Mrs. Gongsun suddenly realized.

"Mom, I’m amazed you can make a Superpower villa sound so down-to-earth." Shiqi covered his face, "Alright, alright, we’re here, get out and take a look!"

The distance from the fixed-wing to Thorny Road wasn’t far. In no time, the elder brother had parked the car in front of Shiqi’s new house. The Gongsun couple was indeed stunned upon getting out of the car. Right in front of them, they saw a courtyard filled with exotic flowers and plants, turning the place into a miniature forest. Four majestic mechanical god models stood at the four corners like cyber gate guardians. Together with sculptures and bonsais from friends worldwide, the two-story small building indeed exuded a magical castle aura.

"Wow, this is magnificent!" Mr. Gongsun exclaimed in awe.

Shiqi rubbed his nose with pride, but before he could say anything, he heard the next sentence.

"...Why does it look somewhat similar to our neighbor’s new house?"

Shiqi was a bit unhappy: "Come on, Dad. It can’t be that you’re still thinking about your neighbor..."

"Your dad isn’t lying; it really does look alike." Mrs. Gongsun flipped through photos on her phone, "Look, they’re almost identical!"

Shiqi glanced over and turned pale. In the photo was a two-story building protected by four cyber gate gods, with a mysterious blue creature on the grass looking up at the stars... It’s hard to blame my mom for this, but just that pet alone is eye-catching enough. This brick, this tile, this grass, these gate gods, and that Wawu are undoubtedly his new home!

But why on earth would this picture appear in the hands of a foreign couple from a small city in the southern Empire? No matter how successful their daughter’s career is, there’s no reason she’d have a shot of his Jihui Bureau house... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"...Gah!"

Shiqi’s face turned from green to black, as if struck by lightning. Just as he was in a daze, the nimble Mrs. Gongsun had already moved behind the small building, discovering one surprise after another: "Hey, look, Ah Ce, this house also has a swimming pool! And this... this foreign pet!"

Mo Yuankai and Shiyu Lianyi exchanged a glance, retreating to one side with alarming vigilance. Qin Qianbai, pinching Shiqi’s waist hard from behind, gestured for an explanation. Shiqi forced a rigid smile, meeting his father’s gaze of "I’m curious to see what nonsense you’ll say," and resolutely began: "Dad, there’s something you don’t know about this house of ours..."

"Ce, good morning. Your house is bustling today."

Just as he was about to speak, a familiar female voice came, and the silver-haired lady passing by the door delivered the sixth bolt of lightning to the thunderstruck Shiqi. He suddenly remembered his foolproof plan, in which Alandia was supposed to naturally pass by and greet them as "the new neighbor and work partner" upon arriving at the residence...

But now is not the time to come! Alandia, back off, retreat first!

In that instant, Shiqi’s eyes conveyed countless complex messages, confident that with a single look, his kindred-spirited lover would instantly understand the situation. But at the same time, Father Gongsun and Gongsun Tu demonstrated why age comes with wisdom, taking a step forward to discreetly block that certain someone’s gaze, warmly smiling at the silver-haired lady at the door: "Hello, I’m Gongsun Tu, Shiqi’s father. May I ask if you’re my son’s friend?"

Alandia naturally shook hands with him: "Nice to meet you. I’m Alandia Helison, a work partner with Ce."

"Oh~~" Mr. Gongsun sighed meaningfully, "You’re very polite. He must’ve caused you quite some trouble at work, hasn’t he?"

"Not at all, in fact, Ce has helped me quite a bit..."

Following her script, Alandia continued, while Shiqi was engulfed in despair, and Qin Qianbai wordlessly shook his head as if he had expected this. At this moment, Mrs. Gongsun strolled over with Wawu in tow, pausing in surprise at overhearing the conversation.

"Ah Ce, look, this is quite the coincidence." Mrs. Gongsun said thoughtfully, "Our neighbor’s last name is Helison too!"
