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

Cen Li ultimately chose to stay.

At first he hesitated, after all, this was a one-and-only opportunity to make a choice, and he had to be extremely careful no matter what.

If Ashel's existence made Cen Li hesitate, then learning that the female soldier was carrying a little life that was bound to him made Cen Li's heart waver.

The female can not sustain the eggs and the insect by consuming enough nutrients from food alone, which would be very difficult for the female parent of the egg.

Eggs that do not receive sufficient nutrition will compete with the female for nutrients, frantically stealing the nutrients that should belong to their parent, causing the female to wither away rapidly.

In this situation, both the egg and the female insect will suffer losses.

In short, if a pregnant female cricket does not receive nourishment from a male, the eggs inside her body may suffer from malnutrition, and in severe cases, it is uncertain whether the eggs can be laid successfully.

This was the reason Cen Li convinced himself to stay.

You can't just get the female insect pregnant and then not take responsibility, leaving the insect to suffer.

But to his surprise, when he closed his eyes again, it was already five days later.

Since returning from the hospital, Ashel has never gone to the Duke's mansion to foolishly accept punishment again.

The insects in the Duke's mansion also began to treat him politely, as they all knew that the Major General was carrying Lord Cen Li's insect offspring.

Derek's change in attitude was particularly noticeable. His first words to Asher were no longer sarcastic, but rather he asked how Asher was doing, his gaze eventually settling subtly on Asher's abdomen.

Ashleigh knew that the female father wanted to know how the eggs were, and every time this happened, he would obediently answer that everything was fine.

On one occasion, Derek lost his temper when he saw Ashley kneeling by the male's bedside, saying, "Do you want to go back to the ER?!" From then on, he forbade Ashley from kneeling again.

Upon learning from the insect servant that he was an hour late for dinner, Derek would coldly reprimand him, "Even if you don't eat, the insects still need to eat!" "From now on, there will be insects specifically monitoring your meals."

Derek's mockery turned into discipline; Egg was above Ashleigh, second only to Little Li in his heart.

"Go for another check-up in two weeks."

As Derek was leaving, he looked back at Ashel, who was sitting silently in the chair by the bed, and gave him a command.

Ashel's hand instinctively fell to her abdomen, then she obediently replied, "Yes, Father."

Only the male ruler and he remained in the ward.

A barely audible murmur echoed in the air.

"My lord... will you look forward to his arrival...?"

Ashel brought Ethan to his female father one day.

This moment was bound to come sooner or later; Ashel knew he couldn't escape it.

Ethan noticed a flicker of panic in his eyes when he saw him.

Ashel didn't delve into the matter. After informing his female father that he wanted to see him, he didn't say anything more and sat in the aircraft staring blankly out the window.

Ashel's hand rested on his stomach through his clothes, a gesture he now frequently makes, even though his abdomen doesn't have a protruding curve.

Ethan had no idea that Ashle was pregnant; if he had, he would have been shocked.

He will soon meet the female father of the male insect he has been longing for.

When the time came, Ethan backed down.

It is said that the male insect is unconscious and no different from a dead insect.

This has something to do with him.

If Ethan hadn't caused Asher to misunderstand Lord Male Insect, Asher wouldn't have gone out late at night, Cen Li wouldn't have gone out to look for him, and Lord Male Insect wouldn't have been on the verge of death, still fast asleep...

A sense of guilt festered in Ethan's heart like a bomb. Hesitantly, he asked Asher, who was leaning against the window, "Can I not go?"

Ashel looked at him in surprise.

Ethan must have had feelings for his master, otherwise he wouldn't have willingly thrown himself naked into Cen Li's arms.

At the female father's house, Ethan's attitude towards the male master was clearly attentive, and it seemed that Ethan would not refuse the invitation from the male master and female father.

Ashel shook his head, coldly refusing him, "My father said he wants to see you."

Seeing Ethan's paler face, Ashel felt a strange mix of emotions, and added sourly, "If you really were with the male master... the female father would make you the male master's female servant."

The words stuck in his throat, and Ashel still couldn't bring himself to say them.

Upon hearing this, Ethan's face paled even more.

He really didn't have any relationship with Cen Li.

The male insect glanced at him and then turned away. Ethan didn't use any of the methods he found online to win over the male insect's heart.

Ashel seemed unaware that he and the male insect had not had any physical relationship. Ethan was worried that once the male insect's female father found out the truth, he would cause trouble for him.

Ethan was filled with unease, and this unease persisted until he met Cen Li's female father insect.

"You're Ethan?"

Derek's gaze fell directly on the female insect behind Ashleigh, his expression scrutinizing her.

Ethan's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, General."

It's barely acceptable.

Derek sized up Ethan, his gaze lingering on her beautiful, fair face for a moment before offering a critical assessment.

"My insect offspring has already slept with you?"

Derek asked directly, without beating around the bush at all.

Ethan's heart skipped a beat at his words.

Ashleigh was unsettled, but she slowed her breathing to listen to Ethan's next answer.

He desperately wanted to know the answer.

Stared at by two oppressive gazes, Ethan was already feeling guilty, and now he had to take a deep breath to barely keep himself from showing his fear.

Ethan looked up, meeting Derek's inquisitive and intimidating eyes, his eyelashes fluttered, and he nodded directly.

"Yes……"

Ashel's heart sank to the bottom.

The male insect actually mates with other female insects...

Why...why...

The last glimmer of hope was shattered by Ethan's own answer.

Asher's brow was clouded with gloom.

Derek's expression showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly recovered, as if everything was supposed to be this way.

He glanced at Ashel subtly and called Ethan outside.

Ashel stood still, staring down at his toes.

A voice, not hushed, drifted in from the doorway.

"When Xiao Li wakes up, I'll have him take you as his concubine."

……

"By the way, do you have any symptoms of discomfort?"

"I'm going to get a checkup in a bit."

Ashel suddenly looked towards the door, suspecting that Ethan might also be pregnant with the male's offspring.

Ashel felt a mix of emotions, his thoughts a jumbled mess, running wild and uncontrollable.

Was the only time he stumbled upon the lord and Ethan?

Many times...

The scenes of Ethan actively courting the male master have taken on a different meaning; perhaps the two insects had already been having an affair in private, and the male master tacitly approved of Ethan's behavior.
