The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

Gene didn't understand how the topic had jumped to this point.

The insect's eyes were filled with wariness. Cen Li coaxed, "Do you like playing soccer?"

Why are you asking him this?

Gene shook his head in denial, "I don't like it."

The male insect brought this up again; could it be that he wants to cause trouble?

Gene's hesitation and wariness were so easy to understand that Cen Li could tell at a glance that the little bug was lying to the bug.

He feigned regret, "I was originally planning to give you a new ball."

Gene looked confused.

Should I give him something?

How could that be?

Doesn't this male insect dislike me? Why would I want to give him something?

Gene whispered, "No need, I have some."

After a while, he politely said, "Thank you."

A tiny bit of kindness easily softened the spikes that Gene had raised.

The little bugs are soft and squishy, ​​and look very easy to fool.

Do you like this?

Cen Li swiped the screen and showed him a picture of an olive-green ball.

Gene blinked.

Thinking he didn't like it, Cen Li changed to another one, "This one?"

Gene glanced at the picture, then at the insect opposite him.

"What about this one?"

After the male insect had shown him countless different kinds of balls, Gene's gaze hesitantly fell on his face.

Cen Li looked at him, "What, you don't like any of them?"

Gene didn't say anything for a moment.

It's not that I don't like it,

I like them both, so if I had to choose one, it would be a really difficult decision.

"If you don't like any of them, then forget it."

Gene looked up and his eyes widened.

"I...don't dislike it."

A barely perceptible smile flickered in Cen Li's eyes. "Oh?"

Gene hesitated in place.

Did the insect lie to him or not?

Ask him again, and he'll agree.

"If you like, I can give them all to you."

Gene blinked a beat late. "All of them?"

"Um."

"Are you... lying to me?" Gene still couldn't believe that the blue-eyed male insect in front of him was going to give him something.

The male insect might just be deceiving him.

Cen Li smiled slightly. "I never lie to insects."

Gene was tempted.

If the male insect assured me that he wouldn't lie to other insects, then it must be true.

"You...you don't need to give me everything."

Gene's little face was flushed, and his bright, watery eyes were blinking.

If I buy them all, it will definitely cost a lot of money.

Besides, he only has two legs, so he doesn't need that many balls.

The little bugs are really easy to trick.

"Shall we go now?" Cen Li asked calmly.

As Ashel said, he would stay here for several more days, and Cen Li intended to do something to get closer to the insect cub.

At least, don't let the little bug look scared and wary every time it sees him.

"I need to ask the female father."

Cen Li nodded.

With his permission, the insect darted several meters away, and Gene was clearly in a good mood, judging from the bouncy way it ran.

Sure enough, the innocent little insect could not resist the temptation of all kinds of toys.

A short while later, Gene reappeared in Cen Li's field of vision.

He was followed by Gaponi.

Gene looked somewhat disappointed and politely declined Cen Li's offer, "Never mind, I already have one, and my father-in-law will buy me one too..."

As Gene said this, he glanced at Gapini behind him, clearly indicating that it was Gapini who had made him refuse.

Gaponi also said, "Sir, this will cost you money, but we appreciate your kindness."

Cen Li shifted his gaze from Gapuni to Gene's chubby, fair face. "Don't listen to your father. If you want it, I'll take you to buy it."

Gaponi, who was blatantly ignored: ...

Why would the male insect suddenly have the idea to buy toys for Gene?

This highly unnecessary behavior is inconsistent with that of a male insect, so it can't be because of Ashel, can it?

Gene looked at Gapuni, whose eyes clearly told him to refuse, "Don't bother the male insect."

Seeing so many colorful balls in the male insect's terminal, Gene felt a little heartache. He was definitely reluctant to part with them, but Gene was used to obeying his female father.

So, Gene reluctantly refused, "...I don't want to go."

Cen Li narrowed his eyes, looking at Jia Pu Ni, who seemed relieved by the insect's answer, with some displeasure.

Gapuni felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at by the cold gaze. He gave an awkward laugh and said, "I can't let Gene trouble you."

"Won't."

The male insect's voice grew displeased.

Gapuni was taken aback, then the male insect said, "I'm taking Gene with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gapu watched as Cen Li placed his hand on the back of the insect cub's collar, half-pushing and half-pulling Gene's clothes, and walked forward.

Gene was completely bewildered. Didn't his female father object to him going out with Uncle Ashel's male? Why was the blue-eyed male pushing him along?

"Your Mightiness."

Gapin caught up and said hurriedly, "Gene is not very obedient, and I'm worried he might offend you."

Cen Li naturally knew that Gapuni was making a refusal; he didn't want him to take Gene away, so he politely turned the tables on him, saying, "Don't worry, even if you offend me, I won't hold it against you."

Gapuy was speechless, his heart filled with unease.

He was always worried about Gene and Cen Li going out alone.

Contrary to what Gapini claimed, he knew Gene was well-behaved, but he was worried that the male insect's unpredictable nature might lead him to do something to Gene.

After all, Gene was just a female insect offspring.

"If you're worried, you can come with me." Cen Li took a step back.

Anyway, he wasn't going to kidnap the bug cubs; if Gapuni wanted to come along, he could.

It would be even better if the father and mother went together.

With Gene looking on expectantly, Gapuni finally nodded.

Ashel had also mentioned that it was unsafe for male insects to go out recently, and there was a possibility of danger if Gene followed him. After thinking it over, Gapini would feel more at ease if Gene accompanied him.

Suddenly, another sound rang out from behind.

"Sir, could you take me with you?"

It was Ethan who appeared out of nowhere.

Gabriel frowned at him. "What are you going to do?"

"Aren't you guys going to the mall? I happen to have some things I need to buy too," Ethan said without batting an eye, while his gaze secretly drifted toward the male insect.

Gapini always felt that Ethan's motives were impure, but he didn't dare to question him because the male insect was right next to him.

Ultimately, an unrelated female insect was inexplicably brought along.
