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

"That's true, I didn't see that coming," Jiang Xu glanced at Qing Yu out of the corner of his eye.

This was the first time that the focus was truly shifted from the small female insect to this insect.

"So your father-in-law is that amazing." Jiang Xu said.

"That's right, my father-in-law is the best." Dong's eyes were full of admiration for his father-in-law.

Qingyu lowered her gaze slightly to Dong, then changed the subject and said to him, "Walk properly."

Dong glanced at Qingyu and thought somewhat reluctantly: "The female father is always unwilling to admit that he is very capable. I really don't understand."

However, he quickly thought of his father-in-law's hidden ailment.

So she obediently walked to the front and, following Qingyu's suggestion, avoided the topic.

"Father, I'll be good and not angry." west stayed nicely in Jiang Xu's arms, but looking at his father's expression, he realized that he was in a bad mood.

She reached out and lunged towards Qingyu, wanting a hug.

Following his movements, Jiang Xu handed the child to Qingyu, glancing at her expression as he withdrew his hand.

It seems the other person is very reluctant to bring up the past.

If what Dong said is true, their family used to be a wealthy household. If they were a wealthy household, how did they end up in this situation?

When Qingyu took the child from him, she noticed that his hands were covered with thick calluses and tiny black cracks.

It cannot be formed overnight.

It seems this insect has had a tough time these past few years.

A few insects were walking down the road. If it weren't for the stark difference in their clothing, they might have been mistaken for a cozy family of insects.

"Hey, boss." Hill was a little surprised to see Jiang Xu when she came down from the second floor with her coffee.

Why did the boss, who had been missing for so long, suddenly reappear?

He placed the cup on the front desk and tugged at the clerk, who had only recently joined the company, saying, "This is our boss. Come and say hello to him."

The young female insect behind the counter quickly stood up from her stool and bowed to Jiang Xu: "Good morning, boss."

Jiang Xu nodded to him: "You go ahead with your work."

He turned to Hill, pointed east, and said, "Take him to the second floor and explain the company's rules while you're at it."

"Okay." Hill was a little surprised that the insect Jiang Xu brought personally was actually a small one; he had originally thought it would be the big one next to it.

He still vaguely remembered the older one; it was the female father of the little insect.

I met him when he first came for the interview.

Hill bent down slightly and beckoned to Dong: "Little brother, come here."

"Hmm." He turned to look at Qingyu, who nodded at him, and then turned and walked towards Hill.

"Aren't you going to go and take a look?" Jiang Xu asked, glancing at Qingyu beside him as he watched the insects heading up to the second floor.

"No need." Once Jiang Xu was seen in the square, the meeting on the battlefield was basically meaningless.

He didn't know Jiang Xu, but judging from the mall manager's attitude towards him, he knew that Jiang Xu's background was not simple.

Moreover, even without all of that, he could sense his attitude towards his little bug during their few interactions.

The other party really likes the little bug.

At first, he might have suspected the other party's purpose, but after so many encounters, he found that the other party never looked at him directly and all his attention was on teasing the little insect.

"Want to sit down?" Jiang Xu pointed to the reception area on the side of the first floor.

west, holding her father's legs, looked at the snack and fruit platter on the reception table, her little mouth agape, and she couldn't help but swallow. Pointing to the sofa and chairs in the reception area, she said:

"Sit there, Father. It's comfortable."

Qingyu affectionately patted his head and politely nodded to Jiang Xu: "Yes, thank you."

Huh? Rarely, Jiang Xu glanced at him.

She then walked to the reception area and sat down. As soon as she sat down, the female receptionist brought her two glasses of water: "Boss, please have some water."

After Jiang Xu nodded, the receptionist quickly left.

He turned to look at the insect opposite him. The little insect's eyes were fixed on the snacks on the table, while its parent looked slightly embarrassed.

Jiang Xu chuckled and pushed all the food on the table in front of the little female insect: "Take whatever you want to eat, it's on me."

"Mmm." The little bug nodded happily and promised, "Brother, from now on, you can have the milk fruit."

"..." Jiang Xu's smile faded, and he even looked a little stiff: "No need, brother won't eat."

Qingyu looked at her own insect offspring with surprise, then looked at Jiang Xu with some uncertainty.

"Oh, I know, big brother, I don't like it. But it's my favorite thing." west took a bite of a small green matcha cake, her big round eyes looking at Jiang Xu.

His expression was somewhat pitiful.

Under that gaze, Jiang Xu had no choice but to reluctantly compromise, saying, "No, brother likes it very much."

"Really? Then I'll ask my father to give me two next time." That way he can eat one himself and give one to his older brother as well.

Jiang Xu remained silent: "I'll chat with your father-in-law for a while, you can eat slowly."

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the little bug nod and not continue the topic.

When he looked at Qingyu, he found that she was already looking at him.

"Have you read many books?" Among the Zerg females, the general level of education is very low, and many only know a few common words.

Qingyu lowered her head and thought for a while before answering, "I've read some."

This is tantamount to tacitly admitting what Dong said.

"You," Jiang Xu glanced at Qing Yu's hand resting on Xi's lips, paused, and continued, "haven't you thought about finding another job?"

He stared at the hand for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, as if what he had just seen was merely an illusion.

"I haven't thought about it," Qingyu replied crisply.

This surprised Jiang Xu somewhat. Logically speaking, shouldn't one be able to find any job easily?

He glanced at Qingyu, completely bewildered.

With his mouth full of food, west looked at Jiang Xu and said in a silly, innocent way, "No, I don't want any insects, female father, because, female father doesn't have wings... um~"

He turned to look at Qingyu, his eyes filled with confusion at his father covering his mouth.

He soon received a stern look from his mother, who looked at him with a pout, as if she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Qingyu quickly removed her hand: "Don't cry."

"Father, you're being mean to me." As soon as she finished speaking, tears streamed down west's face, and she opened her mouth as if she was about to burst into tears.

Jiang Xu sighed and stretched out his hand to the west: "Little bug, look."

The little bug's teary eyes were instantly drawn to Jiang Xu. A tear fell onto the table as it turned its head, but the crying look on its face disappeared, replaced by a curious expression.

"Brother, what's in your hands?" The curious child stared wide-eyed at Jiang Xu's clasped hands, looking left and right with an inquisitive expression, occasionally poking at them with his finger.

"Guess." As long as he doesn't cry, that's fine. Jiang Xu is most helpless against these crybabies. Most importantly, he's still a cub.
