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

Jiang Xu thought Zoe would come to find him soon, but she didn't arrive until it was almost dark.

His gaze towards the other person's voice clearly showed displeasure; he hated being late.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that." Zoe felt a cold gaze shooting towards her.

That's right, if it had been a bullet, he would definitely be dead by now.

Looking over, he saw Jiang Xu and quickly stepped forward to explain:

"I didn't mean to stand you up. I got ready quickly after I got back, but I was just about to leave when the company issued an emergency notice. I got so busy that..."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xu with an apologetic smile: "It's my fault. I promise it won't happen again."

"Are you sure?" Jiang Xu's gaze was no longer so cold.

"Definitely, definitely, absolutely, whatever you want to say, is fine," Zoe said with a chuckle, showing no airs whatsoever in front of Jiang Xu.

After all, he was in the wrong first, and he knew the other person's personality.

I remember once I upset someone, and it took a whole month for them to calm down.

Jiang Xu nodded under the other party's ingratiating gaze, choosing not to argue with them.

Work is important, and he's not the type to cause trouble.

Fei vaguely recalled Zoe's image during the interview, and then looked at the insect in front of him; the difference was enormous.

Just then, another familiar voice came in, but he felt like he had heard it somewhere before.

"Oh, isn't this Major General Fei?"

Fei looked toward the source of the sound, frowned slightly, and recognized it.

Soon, he spotted a familiar figure—General Lan.

His eyes darkened instantly.

I remember now, this male insect—General Lan's male mate. It had blocked his way at the entrance to General Lan's office.

Recalling the other person's lewd gaze, the temperature in Fei's eyes dropped even further.

What is he doing here?

Upon hearing this sound, Jiang Xu's forehead also throbbed with pain; how could he have forgotten about this male insect?

Bernd didn't need Fei to pay attention to him; he simply looked the other person up and down with his own eyes.

If looks could undress, Jiang Xu believed that the female insect behind him would be completely naked right now.

Jiang Xu looked at the other person with displeasure, took a small step forward, and blocked the other person's view.

Just then, Zoe also took a step forward.

Fei was completely surrounded by the two of them.

That blinding gaze could no longer penetrate.

Bernd looked at Jiang Xu and Zoe with a hint of displeasure and clicked his tongue with amusement: "I say, what's with those expressions on your faces? Is it really necessary?"

Good things should be shared among brothers.

After finishing speaking, he realized the insect opposite him wasn't paying attention to him, so he turned to the female insect beside him and said, "Right, Lan?"

Lan was thus brought out, looking fresh and healthy.

He looked indifferently at Jiang Xu and the other man, and bowed slightly to them with proper etiquette: "Lord Jiang Xu, Lord Zoe, greetings."

Jiang Xu nodded in return.

"Who told you to greet them first?" Bernd looked at Lan with displeasure, as if he had been provoked.

"Please forgive me, Master." Lan's gaze returned to the male insect beside her.

Bernd's brows furrowed even more.

His tone became even more impatient: "Answer the question you just asked."

The other party's temper flared up again. Lan looked silently at Fei, who was being blocked behind the two male insects, still unwilling to answer the question.

Especially in front of one's subordinates.

He knew that his relationship with Bernd had only increased Fei's dislike for male insects.

"Have you lost your temper?" Bernd clearly wasn't going to miss this topic.

"My lord, please forgive me." Lan Xili knelt down beside Bernd.

This action seemed to have been performed countless times, and the familiarity with it made Jiang Xu frown involuntarily.

He then noticed the gazes of the other insects at the banquet; they seemed to have become accustomed to this scene.

They only stayed for a very short time before moving away.

"What are you doing?" Zoe's emotionless gaze swept coldly over Bernd. "Mind your manners. This is the Jiang family home."

"Hey, it's just a female insect, right? Look at the other insects, they don't seem to care." Bernd gestured towards the other insects in the room, then noticed that not only was Zoe unhappy, but Jiang Xu was also giving him a cold look.

No, he didn't do anything.

Bernd was puzzled, but he had no choice but to compromise in this situation.

So, he casually kicked Lan with his foot: "Alright, alright, get up quickly, can't you see where you are?"

After Lan stood up and nodded her thanks to Jiang Xu and Zoe, she stood back behind Bernd.

"Isn't that your subordinate? Why don't you go over and say hello?" Bain said in a very flippant tone.

"Do you want to be kicked out?" Jiang Xu glanced at him, his gaze chillingly cold.

Bernd found that the two bugs across the street tonight were just not to his liking at all.

She was annoyed and directly questioned Jiang Xu, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Weren't you the one who cried and made a scene about not marrying him? What are you pretending for?"

Fei looked at Jiang Xu in surprise. How come he had never heard his maternal grandfather mention this matter before?

If the other party was unwilling to marry him, then why did he marry him?

Was it forced by his maternal grandfather? Or was it because he would find out later?

Fei suddenly understood why Jiang Xu hadn't shown up when they went to register, and why he had been ignored for half a month afterwards.

But why did she come looking for him again later?

He was somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Xu coldly replied, "What's it to you?"

"Don't forget, you..." Bernd's words were cut short by Zoe, who interrupted him, "You believe I'll beat you up right now on behalf of your elders!"

"........" Bernd.

"Okay, okay. I was wrong, alright?" he muttered unhappily. "I came here early today specifically to chat with you two, but you two just had to make things difficult for me."

"Who's trying to embarrass whom?" Zoe said curtly. "Don't forget what this dinner party at the Jiang family is for tonight?"

Bernd glanced at Jiang Xu and Fei with a smirk.

"Alright, alright, that's enough for you two. It's been a week since we last saw each other, and you haven't even said you missed me. You just start nagging as soon as you arrive."

Is it really worth it for just one female insect?

How could he not know what the Jiang family meant by hosting a banquet today?

He's not a three-year-old. Besides, what's wrong with him just having a little fun? When there's beauty in front of him, of course he won't back down.

Only those two ascetics weren't interested in female insects.

Wait, that's not right.

One person broke the rule.

Bernd's gaze returned to Jiang Xu and Fei, and he chuckled at himself. He then continued:

"Okay, I was wrong, alright?"

"I really want to rip your brain out and see if it's all made of tofu dregs. Have you forgotten who organized this party? Are you out of your mind?" Admittedly, Zoe's words contained an element of intimidation, but...

He was afraid that the kid would continue to act recklessly in the future.

The icy gaze sent a chill down Bernd's spine.

But suddenly I felt something was wrong.

He suddenly realized he'd been led astray by Zoe and retorted, "I'm a male, after all."
