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

Fei didn't expect to fall asleep so quickly. Perhaps it was because of Jiang Xu's presence that he felt a sense of fullness and peace in his heart.

She slept straight through until dinner, her mind flashing back to the image of not being able to contact Jiang Xu and frantically searching for him.

And Zoran gently stroked him, offering words of comfort.

The insect, which had been sleeping soundly, suddenly began to become extremely restless.

Fei suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead soaked with cold sweat. He glanced around the room and realized that he was the only insect there.

Zoran's words echoed in his mind again.

He quickly rolled out of bed, his bare feet stepping onto the dark velvet carpet, which made his feet appear even more silvery-white.

Fei paused in his act of putting on his shoes, staring coldly at the slippers by the bed. When did he change his shoes?

He wasn't ready to think about those questions right now; he needed to go find Zoran and ask about Jiang Xu.

The egg inside his belly rolled around unhappily because of his unease.

They seemed not to understand why the female father had changed like this again.

"Click—"

Jiang Xu went out for a while, and when he returned to the bedroom door, he heard a slight noise coming from inside. Knowing that Fei had woken up, he opened the door and went in.

The female insect inside seemed particularly surprised to see him; her blank eyes suddenly misted over, and she quickly pounced on him.

Jiang Xu supported the other person's waist: "Did you have a nightmare?"

"My lord," Fei said in a hoarse voice, his voice filled with malice, "liar! You promised me you wouldn't disappear."

You promised me that.

Jiang Xu's gaze darkened, and she slowly hugged him tighter: "I'm sorry."

Hearing Jiang Xu's words, Fei couldn't stop crying, feeling wronged: "Liar."

"Yes, I lied to you." Jiang Xu felt the body in his arms trembling and gently comforted the other person: "I'm sorry you had to suffer."

He felt his shirt was wet on his shoulder, and knew the other person was sobbing uncontrollably.

You can punish me however you want.

Fei shook his head: "No punishment."

He tilted his head slightly to look at Jiang Xu's face: "Can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it?" Looking at the eyes in front of him, red and misty with tears, Jiang Xu felt a pang of heartache. He reached out and stroked the man's face. "Tell me."

"If you're leaving next time, could you take me with you?" Fei pleaded, looking at Jiang Xu. He didn't want to be left alone again.

Jiang Xu remained silent; whether or not to leave was not a decision he could make himself.

After thinking for a long time, seeing the other person's increasingly bad expression, he finally spoke: "I can assure you that I will never leave you on my own."

However, I think this time I really won't suddenly disappear again.

After all, Jiang Mian, who was probably the instigator, came to the Zerg with him.

"?" Fei pulled away from Jiang Xu's embrace and straightened up. "Why?"

Jiang Xu wiped away Fei's tears with his hand and said gently and firmly, "Grandfather Xiong came back with me."

"Grandfather Xiong?" Fei paused for a moment, then instantly understood who Jiang Xu was referring to, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Really? He's back?"

"What?" Jiang Xu looked at him gently with a slight smile. "Has my integrity fallen to this level?"

"No, no." Fei pursed her lips, then gently bit them, looking at the other person.

Jiang Xu removed the piece of flesh from his mouth, gently caressed the other's red lips with his fingers, stared at his lips for a long time, and then withdrew his hand: "Now that you're awake, go down and see Grandfather Xiong."

He glanced at his feet, picked up the shoes from the side, squatted down, and held the other man's feet: "Put them on."

A strange feeling flashed through Fei's mind. He tried to break free from the other's hand, but he couldn't: "My lord, I can dress myself."

A male insect squatted in front of him and changed his shoes, making him feel very awkward.

"This is my way of making amends." Jiang Xu: "Is that not acceptable?"

The only option left for Feneng was compromise.

After Jiang Xu washed his hands, he led Fei out of the bedroom. The insects around them were unusually quiet along the way. He looked over and found that their eyes were fixed on his feet.

He squeezed Fei's hand: "I'm here. What's the point of looking at those shoes?"

Fei felt a little ashamed after being teased by Jiang Xu and turned her head to the side, trying to avoid his gaze.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Xu felt as if his heart was suddenly enveloped by something soft.

The hands that were clasped tightened slightly.

The insects downstairs were bustling with activity because of Jiang Mian's return.

When Jiang Xu went downstairs, he saw Wen west sitting alone in the corner of the hall. The liveliness in the house did not affect him at all.

I lay half-reclined on the sofa, staring at the insects.

He slowly sat up after noticing them get down.

He looked away and pulled Fei to the pile of insects.

Jiang Mian naturally saw the two insects that came over. He glanced at Fei and smiled warmly: "You must be that little insect from the Walker family. You've grown so big."

"Your Excellency Jiang Mian." Fei crossed his arms and gave Jiang Mian a military salute.

"We've become distant." Jiang Mian stood up and patted Fei on the shoulder: "You used to chase after me a lot when we were kids."

"..." Fei stared at Jiang Mian in astonishment. He had no recollection of Jiang Mian. Before he could ask, Lin An, who was standing next to him, had already spoken up to answer his question.

"Who says otherwise? When it was still an egg, it was jumping around. No one would have thought that it would be so quiet after it grew up. But it's quite a good match for Xiao Xu. I reckon these two insects can't even have a proper quarrel."

Lin An laughed heartily and joked in a cheerful voice.

"..." Jiang Xu watched their banter with a calm expression, seemingly already used to it.

"Who says otherwise? Back then, wherever Uncle Mian went, he followed. He was like a clingy bug. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been that teasing engagement." Jiang Ping chimed in, his eyes lingering on Zoran as he spoke.

It seems like a joke, but it's actually a complaint.

Zoran didn't speak, but cast a warning glance at Jiang Ping with his cold eyes.

Upon receiving the gaze, Jiang Ping smiled in a good mood, completely ignoring the other person.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian glanced at Zoran out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that Zoran remained silent, and noticing his gaze, Jiang Mian hesitated and changed his sitting posture.

After taking everything in, he said to Fei, "I've heard Xiao Xu mention you, but I haven't asked you whether you're satisfied with this marriage. If you're not, your grandfather will allow you to annul your marriage with him."

Jiang Xu was standing to the side, listening curiously to what Fei had said about his childhood.

Who knew he'd suddenly become the target of a bullet? He pulled the bug behind him and said, "That's enough, my family matters are none of your concern."

Fei was already somewhat uncomfortable because of the insects' teasing, and now he was even more at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, Jiang Xu pulled him aside, covering half of his body, which made him feel much more at ease: "Thank you for your concern, Grandfather Xiong. We are fine."

Jiang Mian laughed even harder as he saw Jiang Xu's protective manner.
