A top-tier gigolo, teased by a cool and aloof general, turns warm.

Chris poured himself another glass of red wine.

The wine on Earth is indeed as delicious as the rumors say.

Her purple eyes narrowed slightly, and she curled her lips into a comment, "Good things are not meant to be shared."

Raising his glass, he asked him, "Aren't you right, Raphael?"

Even sitting there, the battle-hardened insect exudes a bloody and murderous aura.

Raphael felt a strange sense of oppression.

She stared intently at Chris, but her heart was not as calm as it appeared.

He used to think Chris was selfish.

But after getting married, he had to admit that he wasn't generous enough either.

"Chris, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Excellent male insects never lack suitors. I think we can keep each other's secrets and work together to deal with the scheming female insects outside."

Chris witnessed firsthand how the female father and the male father went from being deeply in love to never speaking to each other again.

He deeply realized that even the strongest love will gradually fade with the passage of time.

Like a cup of tea that has been brewed countless times, it eventually becomes bland and tasteless.

He didn't want to be driven out of the house like his stepfather when he was no longer young, and spend the rest of his life alone.

Raphael helped the male master to his seat, took the wine glass from Chris's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

Still half-drunk, Shi Yu propped his head up with one hand and mumbled something indistinctly.

"Yes, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Chris glanced sideways and saw the male ruler slowly slump back onto the table.

His tense expression relaxed slightly, and he reached out to help Shi Yu to his feet.

"My lord, let me help you to bed to rest."

Just as his hand touched Shi Yu, he was suddenly pushed away by the other party.

"Don't touch me, I'm a married worm!"

Shi Yu kept his eyes closed and muttered impatiently.

Upon hearing this, the bitterness in Chris's heart vanished without a trace, like smoke blown away by the wind, before it could even spread.

He picked up the male ruler and glanced back at Raphael.

"Remember to close the door behind you."

Raphael, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, took a big gulp just now and instantly felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Without saying a word, Chris picked up the drunken male master and left, closing the door behind him.

With a loud "bang," the room fell silent again.

The bright moonlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the ground, like a traditional Chinese ink painting.

In the corridor, a dark figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

His eyes gleamed with a chilling light, like those of a hungry ghost, sending shivers down the spines of even insects.

early morning.

Before the first ray of sunlight had fully pierced through the clouds, a rapid knocking broke the silence of the room.

Chris heard the knock on the door and glanced warily at the still-sleeping lord.

He quickly got up, dressed, and hurried towards the door.

When the door opened, Hagrid stood outside, his forehead covered in sweat and looking anxious.

"Speak, what is it?"

Chris's voice was calm and deep, but his eyes revealed a hint of tension that was not easily detected.

Hagrid, panting heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He hurriedly said, "Lord Chris, our granary has been burned down, and all our food is gone."

Upon hearing this news, Chris frowned slightly, already considering how to respond.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Go to the Shengshi Hotel and pack some food to bring back. I'll think of another way to solve the food problem."

Hagrid hesitated, then stammered, "I... I've already sent insects over, but they... refuse to sell us food, saying it was their boss's order."

"Hmph, it's him again. He's like a persistent ghost."

Chris's heart sank, and he slammed his fist against the wall.

To the insect's surprise, that fool Eugene was so audacious as to set fire to the granary.

That's absolutely heinous.

"Honey, what happened? Is your hand hurt? Does it hurt?"

Hearing the noise outside, Shi Yu hurriedly put on a pair of shorts and ran over.

She hugged Chris tightly from behind, gave him a light kiss on the cheek, and asked with concern.

"Major General, our granary has been burned by insects, and the surveillance cameras have been damaged, so we didn't capture any footage of the arsonist."

Hagrid looked anxious, his eyes reddening, and he was about to cry.

"Don't worry, it's just some food, it's no big deal. I'll figure out a solution."

Shi Yu, on the other hand, appeared very calm and showed no sign of panic.

Actually, he already had a plan in mind.

He was thinking of the sucker, Luo Suo.

If Raphael were to ask, that guy would fill the entire mine with food.

"Hagrid, don't worry about the food. The one who could so accurately destroy the surveillance must be the bugs from the mine. Go and investigate the arsonist in secret."

Chris saw that Hagrid had been keeping to himself and didn't make things difficult for him.

After the insects disappeared around the corner, he pushed Shi Yu into the house.

"My lord, you should put your clothes on first, so that the insect doesn't misunderstand that you want to marry him."

"Oh, right, I'll definitely pay attention next time."

Shi Yu then realized that he was only wearing a pair of underwear.

His face flushed red instantly, like a ripe apple.

Somewhat incoherently, he said, "I...I'll go find Rosso, he'll definitely help."

Chris nodded and said in a slightly pleading tone, "My lord, I'm entrusting this matter to you. I'll go back to my uncle and try to find a solution."

He hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing his words.

In the end, I decided to voice my doubts.

"I suspect that Eugene was behind all of this; he's always been good at winning people over."

Perhaps this time, it was he who sent those wretched insects to set the fire.

After hearing Chris's words, Shi Yu's face grew even more gloomy.

He frowned deeply and remained silent.

In fact, Shi Yu had been tormented by the thought of drugging Eugene.

They originally thought that the punishment given to Eugene would be enough to teach him a lesson and make him behave himself.

But now it seems that those punishments were too lenient.

"Honey, let's talk about this when I get back. Eugene is a ticking time bomb; keeping him around will only cause trouble."

Shi Yu frowned, his expression grave.

If you know you can't avoid it, you might as well take the initiative.

As he spoke, he quickly put on his clothes.

Feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the thinness of the clothes, she couldn't help but tug at her sleeves.

He secretly thought to himself that when he saw Rosso later, he would definitely ask him if he had any windproof, waterproof, warm and cold-proof jackets.

Chris responded softly, "My lord, give me some time. Once the truth about the arson is uncovered, none of them will escape."

He certainly understood the lord's meaning; setting fire to the mine's granary was a serious crime.

If the evidence is conclusive, even a powerful family like the Graftons might not be able to protect Eugene.
