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

He ate slowly, bite by bite, finishing every last bit of food.

I cherish it very much.

I don't know whether to cherish the heart or the food on the plate.

Jiang Xu lay down on the bed, unusually not falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

My thoughts drifted uncontrollably to the female insect downstairs.

"No, no. Go to sleep early." He remembered the text message from that afternoon; there were even more troublesome things to deal with tomorrow.

Even with these self-commands, he still couldn't fall asleep.

He heard the sound of a door closing next door; he knew the female insect had gone back to her room.

"Sigh—" This is the first time in half a month that he has openly sighed, not because of his own situation, nor because of whether he can go back.

That sigh was only for the female insect next door.

Day two.

As Jiang Xu stood at the entrance of the Jiang family mansion, he was filled with many emotions.

In the past two weeks, yesterday afternoon's text message was the first time this family had contacted him.

After avoiding it for half a month, I still have to face it eventually.

After parking the aircraft, Fei walked to Jiang Xu's side and said, "Master."

This was his first time visiting the Jiang family and his first time meeting other members of the Jiang family.

Both insects were sighing to themselves, but the other was unaware.

"Okay, let's go in."

Jiang Xu lifted his leg and walked towards the Jiang family villa, with Fei following a step away beside him.

The mystery surrounding the Jiang family was finally revealed to Jiang Xu; it was a very large manor.

Great!

If the Jiang family on Earth was a suite, then the Jiang family of the Zerg is an entire building.

This is the capital of all insects, and it even has such a large manor.

Perhaps the only comparable place is the so-called imperial palace.

The manor's decor wasn't the opulent grandeur one might expect; instead, it exuded a subtle sense of decadence and mystery.

The European-style manor features walls in shades of dark gray and off-white, adorned with a variety of plants.

However, Jiang Xu looked at the rose vines that were growing half-dead on the iron frame, complaining.

"......" Wasn't the Jiang family supposed to be very wealthy? Why did he feel that this place resembled the Yuanmingyuan after it had been looted by robbers?

Well, there's no joy in it.

Well, "dilapidated" might be a more appropriate description.

"Young Master, you're back." The butler in front of the villa saw Jiang Xu and walked straight toward him, completely ignoring Fei who was following behind him.

"Hmm." Jiang Xu.

"Master has been waiting for you inside." The butler led Jiang Xu into the inner room.

After walking for a while, he realized that there was an insect following Jiang Xu.

Upon further investigation, it appeared to be the female insect.

"You are, Young Master Fei?"

Fei had gotten used to being ignored, but who knew that the other party would suddenly say such a thing to him.

"Hello." Fei felt something was off.

Since their marriage, he has never seen any insects from the Jiang family, which clearly shows that the other party also considers this marriage optional.

However, the butler's tone didn't seem to indicate that.

"I just noticed you. You're back today too." The butler's face showed a smile.

"Hmm." Fei noticed that the other person seemed a little too enthusiastic.

"The master is inside. I'll escort you two this far." The butler bowed to Jiang Xu and his companion, then turned and went to do his own thing.

Jiang Xu glanced at the closed door, pushed it open, and went inside.

Jiang Xu and Fei interrupted their conversation after entering the room.

The three sitting insects all looked over at the two of them.

A female insect with graying hair, sitting at the top, walked over with a kind smile after seeing the two of them.

"Female Grandfather." Jiang Xu.

"Grandfather-in-law," Fei called out.

The grandfather-grandmother stretched out her arms and walked towards them, as if to embrace them.

Jiang Xu thought awkwardly: He remembered Zoe mentioning that the old man was rather strict with him? He suddenly changed his attitude.

"You must be Fei." Zoran put his arm around Fei's shoulder and patted him affectionately. "I didn't expect you to have grown so much."

Jiang Xu and Fei were both stunned.

Zoran noticed Jiang Xu's gaze and his expression turned serious: "Go talk to your parents for a while."

After saying that, he turned to Fei and continued, "Come, come with your grandfather, and have a good talk with him about your situation."

"Mmm." Fei felt that the other person's hand was warm, soft, and comfortable.

He couldn't escape this tenderness.

Jiang Xu had no idea what was going on, and could only follow his maternal grandfather's instructions, walking up to the two insects sitting on the sofa:

"Male father, female father."

"Hmm," Jiang Cheng responded but didn't say anything more.

"You stubborn child, why are you so stubborn? You've been sulking with your great-grandfather for so long and haven't come back." Qiao stood up and patted Jiang Xu's shoulder:

"This was decided many years ago. We can't change it."

"Hasn't this already secured the maximum rights for you?"

At first, Zoran ordered Jiang Xu to marry Fei as his queen, but Jiang Xu's reaction was too strong, and he eventually had to be demoted to a servant.

In this way, it occupies a minor, insignificant spot that won't have any impact.

If he really doesn't like someone, he can simply pretend that the other person doesn't exist.

At this point, Jiang Cheng suddenly spoke up: "I heard you've been living with that female insect for the past two weeks."

What seemed like a question had actually been confirmed by the other party.

"Hmm." Jiang Xu hesitated for a moment, knowing that the other party must already know about this to ask such a question.

"Weren't you very opposed to this marriage?" Qiao poked Jiang Xu's head with her finger. His son, Xiongzi, was the one who had been making the most noise back then.

"Why did it suddenly disappear?"

"......." Jiang Xu really wanted to give him an answer, but he was afraid that if he said it, he would be beaten to death.

The family of three glanced at the two female insects that were some distance away from them, and after confirming that the other insects could not hear them, they...

Joe continued, "You didn't do anything wrong, did you?"

They all understood their son's personality; if he didn't want to do something, no one could change his mind.

This marriage, however, did not go as he wished.

"Probably not," Jiang Xu replied after a moment's hesitation.

"What does 'should' mean? If it exists, it exists; if it doesn't, it doesn't." He was afraid he wouldn't be able to stop his female father if he really went astray.

Joe glanced furtively at the two female insects in the distance; they seemed to be getting along well.

There was no indication that they would settle scores later.

"No, I don't." Jiang Xu thought to himself that he didn't acknowledge what the original owner of this body had done.

Besides, he only kicked the other person once because of a misunderstanding, and he had already reduced the force of that kick by 70-80% after seeing the other person's injuries.

"That's fine then, otherwise neither your father nor I could protect you. You know your grandfather's status in this family."

Although Jiang Mian has long since passed away, his influence is still very strong in this family.

Zoran seems to be trapped in his memories, unwilling to emerge.

This is why, even though they didn't have to get married, they still did it...

Qiao glanced at Jiang Xu: "Your maternal and paternal grandfathers both doted on you. Are you doing this for their sake?"

After he finished speaking, he checked Jiang Xu's reaction and found that the other party was no longer reacting as strongly as before.

"You've fallen for that female insect?"

"..." Jiang Xu was taken aback by the question and subconsciously retorted, "No."
