Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

"Young Master."

Jiang Xu was lost in thought when he was interrupted by a voice. He looked up and saw the person rushing in front of him: "You, you're back."

As she spoke, her voice choked with emotion: "You have no idea, when you disappeared, I was almost scared to death..."

Jiang Xu listened quietly to the housekeeper finish her story before saying, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Oh, Mr. Fei and Mr. Zoran were so worried. You can't just disappear like that next time."

Seeing that the butler was about to launch into another long-winded speech, Jiang Xu quickly asked, "Where is Mr. Fei?"

"Mr. Fei is outside. He should be back soon."

No sooner had the butler finished speaking than a swarm of insects escorted Fei in.

Fei's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Xu, and he quickly walked towards him: "My lord, you're back?"

"Hmm." Jiang Xu was somewhat surprised. Why was this female insect's reaction so different from the last time?

However, seeing that the other party was alright, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he turned to the insects behind him and called out, "Uncle Lin, Uncle Jiang, you've arrived."

"You little rascal," Lin An glanced at Fei meaningfully, paused, and then said, "It's good that you're back."

They brought the parts to the Jiang family yesterday, and the instrument was quickly repaired that night, but it wouldn't respond no matter how they tried to turn it on.

Now all the insects are keeping things from Fei about Jiang Xu.

To avoid upsetting him again, they all pretended nothing was wrong, but thankfully, Jiang Xu finally returned.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"I have a surprise for you." Jiang Xu smiled mysteriously at them and said, "A big surprise."

Lin An paused, carefully observing Jiang Xu's expression, and suddenly realized something. He quickly walked behind him and opened the closed door.

Hearing a commotion outside, Jiang Mian reached out and patted Zolan on the back: "At your age, you still cry so much."

"I didn't cry." Zoran held Jiang Mian tightly, his eyes bloodshot but without a single tear.

"I heard you." Jiang Mian patted Zolan's head, still as strong as ever after all these years, and said gently, "You're crying inside."

"I didn't cry."

"Yes, yes, I didn't cry." Jiang Mian: "Our Mr. Zoran is the strongest."

The familiar voice, the familiar comfort—Zoran's eyes reddened again; he hadn't heard it for so many years.

Suddenly, the study door was opened from the outside by an insect.

Jiang Mian looked up and stared at Lai Chong with some surprise: "Xiao An."

Another insect appeared right behind Lin An, and Jiang Mian looked at the two of them in surprise.

"Are you all here?" He released Zoran's grip and asked Lin An and Jiang Ping.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin An and Jiang Ping rushed up: "Uncle Mian, you're finally back."

Zoran, who was originally standing next to Jiang Mian, was pushed aside by the two insects and occupied the positions on either side of Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian patted the two insects on the head: "After all these years, you're still like little insect babies who haven't grown up yet."

He glanced at Zoran, who had been pushed aside, and coldly stared at the two insects in front of him.

A strange feeling flashed through my mind: these three insects are still the same, it seems that nothing has changed.

Zoran's gaze turned even colder. Unable to bear it any longer, he pulled Lin An aside and stood next to Jiang Mian, saying, "We can talk about this later. The Lord has just returned; let him rest for a while."

"..." Lin An rolled his eyes. Rest? Rest my ass, he really knows how to find excuses to monopolize Uncle Mian.

Compared to the mess here, things are much simpler here for Jiang Xu and Fei.

Jiang Xu intended to ignore Wen west who was following him, but as soon as Lin An and Jiang Ping left, he suddenly found himself alone, making it hard not to notice her.

"What are you doing here?" he said, putting an arm around Fei's waist and pulling him to his side.

Hmm? A strange feeling swept through his heart. He looked down at Fei's waist in surprise, and it seemed to have gotten quite thicker.

Wen Xiye didn't really want to talk to Jiang Xu: "I told you you went out of town, why have you been gone for so long?"

His tone was clearly unfriendly: "Fine, you can leave, but why didn't you inform Brother Fei beforehand? Do you know how much of a rush he was that day?"

Jiang Xu suddenly frowned. Before he could think further, Fei, standing beside him, coldly looked at Wen west: "Wen west, is this how you speak to Lord Jiang Xu?"

After speaking, he realized that his tone was harsh, since the other party was also speaking up for him, so he softened his voice a little: "The ruler is going to do important things, so we should be considerate of him."

Moreover, this was his duty as a female servant.

Jiang Xu remained silent. He suddenly realized something was wrong and asked Chao Fei, "Do you know where I've been all this time?"

"?" Fei looked back in confusion and answered honestly, "You went to the contact center."

"..." Jiang Xu: "Did your maternal grandfather tell you that?"

Fei shook his head in rejection.

Jiang Xu's unease grew, and he continued to ask, "Who told you that?"

"You," Fei said, then suddenly realized something was wrong: "No, you weren't the one who told me."

He held his forehead in his hand, blurry images flashing through his mind, and murmured, "Who told me?"

Jiang Xu glanced at Wen west and saw that the other party was looking at him fiercely.

Realizing something, he looked at Fei in surprise, then reached out and pulled the insect into his arms: "Don't think about anything. I'll take you to rest."

After saying that, he put the insects in the room out of his mind and went upstairs to the second floor.

"My lord, I have a headache." Fei rubbed against Jiang Xu and leaned against him as they entered the room.

Jiang Xu led him to the bedside and then lay down: "Besides your head, is there anything else that hurts?"

"No." Fei obediently grabbed the blanket with one hand and held Jiang Xu's hand with the other, unwilling to let go.

Jiang Xu sat on the edge of the bed and gently massaged Fei's head with both hands. When he saw that Fei had obediently closed his eyes, his expression turned serious.

This departure was a bigger blow to the insect than it had imagined.

He thought the other person would only be sad for a while and might ignore him when they came back.

But I never imagined it would turn out like this.

It may seem harmless, but it causes the most damage.

"Is it comfortable?" Jiang Xu asked.

After waiting for a while without getting an answer, and listening to the other's even breathing, he knew that the insect had fallen asleep.

As he got up to go downstairs to ask Zoran about the situation, he felt a small force tugging at the corner of his clothes before he even stood up.

He looked down and saw that Fei had grabbed his clothes at some point, gripping them so tightly that his knuckles were slightly white.

It wasn't that he couldn't just pull the hem of her clothes off her hand, but after a moment's hesitation, Jiang Xu couldn't bring himself to do it.

He let out a long breath and leaned down to gently kiss Fei's forehead.

He then sat up, leaned against the headboard, and closed his eyes.

The egg inside Fei's belly sensed the familiar aura, and its tiny spiritual tentacles reached out and climbed towards Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu felt a tightening around his waist and opened his eyes instantly, just in time to see this scene.

"..." The spiritual energy sensed Jiang Xu's presence and excitedly climbed onto him, as if it were saying something.

Jiang Xu used a portion of his spiritual energy to catch him, and watched as the other rubbed against him contentedly, remaining obedient and still, and smiled silently.

He looks just like his father.
