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

He looked at the female insect opposite him with a complicated expression, and after a long while, he finally asked, "Why would you have such thoughts?"

Fei pursed her lips and remained silent, her head lowered as she continued to stroke Jiang Yi on her lap, again and again: "Why did you ask about him?"

A male insect will only pay special attention to a female insect when the male is interested in her.

Jiang Xu's sudden question about Wen west must have meant that Wen west was on his mind.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"........." Jiang Xu chuckled, his hand pressed against the tip of his nose, a muffled laugh accompanied by a slight tremor in his body: "Your jealousy caught me completely off guard."

He laughed for a while before lowering his hand: "I was just asking routinely. Didn't you go to see him in prison today?"

Aren't all the things they've been dealing with lately related to the strange beasts?

Who else but Wenxi could be the insect that's been dragged into the clutches of the alien beast?

"Is that so?" Fei slowly raised his head as he spoke. "Is that really all you think?"

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Xu's smile hadn't faded yet. He wanted to reach out and pat the other person's head, but the distance was too great. "Do you think I can still marry him?"

He and Wenxi were sworn enemies.

Fei slowly hummed in agreement, but her gaze towards Jiang Xu remained uncertain.

To this day, the position of the female head of the household remains vacant, and Jiang Xu has never mentioned it to him. Although she has told him that there is only one place for him in the house, but—

In his heart, he still felt something was different.

"?" Jiang Xu looked at Fei, who was still silent, and was about to ask a question when the other party suddenly spoke.

"Wenxi is not good." Fei's eyes remained fixed on Jiang Xu's face, carefully observing the changes in the other's expression as a result of his words.

"Not good?" Jiang Xu asked in confusion. "He's in prison, under the supervision of both sides. How could it be not good?"

Under the coercive constraints of different powers, they should theoretically coexist peacefully.

Fei took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "The First Military Region's supervision can only reduce his punishment, but the interrogation power is still in the hands of other military regions."

The images of Wenxi's wounds flashed through his mind again.

Fei was conflicted at this moment: he was afraid that Jiang Xu would be interested in Wen west—ever since he brought Jiang Xu back to the capital from the western border, Jiang Xu's attitude towards Wen west had been very different.

Jiang Xu was indifferent to other insects, but he paid a lot of attention to Wen west.

But Wenxi was his childhood friend, and he shouldn't have such suspicious thoughts.

Even if Wenxi really is with his lord, he should still give his blessings.

"The alien beast is already at the military headquarters. Have you thought about rescuing it?" Jiang Xu asked, then waited for the female insect's reply. But after a long while, she didn't say a word.

He looked helplessly at Fei across from him, whose thoughts had long since drifted off to who-knows-where.

"Fei," he called out.

The other party did not respond.

He called out again, "Phi Walker."

There has still been no response.

Jiang Xu took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and placed his hand on the other person's head.

Seeing that the other person had snapped out of their daze and looked at him, he continued, "What are you thinking about? You can just tell me."

He must have said this to Fei many times, but he found that this female insect seemed to be insecure about her special place in his heart.

"A powerful ruler?" Fei looked at him with a question in his eyes, not even noticing when Jiang Xu had walked up to him.

He seems to be lost in thought.

"My lord, I'm sorry, I was lost in thought just now."

It is very inappropriate to be distracted in front of a powerful ruler.

It's not that big, but it's not that small either.

He knew Jiang Xu wouldn't blame him, but as a female servant, he shouldn't have made this mistake, especially when the male master was speaking to him.

"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Xu looked at his serious expression and softened his tone. "Isn't it normal to get distracted?"

Why be so hard on yourself over something so trivial?

He patted Fei's head and looked out the window—the courtyard on Qingcao Street had come into view: "We're home."

He turned to look at Fei, a faint smile in his eyes.

Fei just stared at him, a slight smile unconsciously appearing on her usually aloof face, and nodded emphatically in response, "Mm."

Got home.

A home that belongs exclusively to their family of three.

When his feet touched the grass in the courtyard, and he looked at Jiang Xu walking towards the house, his sense of peace intensified.

Jiang Xu turned around and saw Fei staring at him with that expression. He reminded her, "Daydreaming again? Keep up."

"Okay." Fei quickly stepped forward and followed Jiang Xu home.

Perhaps he will never forget this scene.

For the next period of time, both insects were very busy.

Fei leaves home very early every day to go to the military headquarters, while Jiang Xu also needs to handle company business.

Yu Heng was handling things much faster than he had imagined: when he first returned, Yu Heng had only reached an agreement with the merchants on this street.

And now, progress has already extended to several city blocks. At this rate, soon all businesses in the southern part of the capital will be included in their commercial service area.

The number of things that need to be dealt with has increased many times over.

Since returning home, the only time the two insects see each other each day is in bed.

Every time Jiang Xu returned home after finishing his business, Fei was already asleep in bed with the two little ones; and when he woke up in the morning, the bed where the female insect had slept was already cold.

The two insects ended up missing each other for several days.

This morning, after Jiang Xu woke up, he touched the bed next to him as usual—it was still the same as a few days ago, and the warmth of the female insect was long gone.

He sighed, withdrew his hand, and propped himself up to sit up in bed.

The intense work these past few days has been even more demanding than his previous handling of group affairs, in addition to occasionally having to deal with matters concerning the Jiang family.

It made him feel like he was constantly jumping between "about to ascend to heaven" and "ascending to heaven".

Fortunately, things are finally mostly resolved, and he can have a good rest today.

Jiang Xu sat on the edge of the bed for a while before slowly getting up and leaving the room.

He stepped out of the room, leaned on the second-floor railing, and glanced down. When he saw the kitchen light on, his gaze paused for a moment.

"?" Fei didn't go to the military headquarters today? This was Jiang Xu's first thought.

He walked down from the second floor with a puzzled look in his eyes. Listening to the slight noises coming from the kitchen, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

As he approached the kitchen door, he asked into the kitchen, "Is the matter with the strange beasts settled?"

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for the insects inside to hear.

Jiang Xu continued walking towards the kitchen door. Just one step away from seeing the insects inside, someone peeked out from inside and said, "Good day, Mr. Jiang Xu."
