Chapter 1972: The Days I Was Pampered by My Wife in the Insect Clan 05

A few minutes later, Jin Chen, lost in thought, lowered his gaze to stare at Ze Nuoer in his arms, still stopped combing, withdrew his own mental power, and softly asked: "Major General Ze Nuoer, are you feeling better?"

Ze Nuoer opened his eyes, looking somewhat dazed, not knowing why Jin Chen had suddenly withdrawn his mental power; the feeling of stopping after a taste made it harder for him to stay calm, and his insect markings grew hotter.

"Your Excellency..." Ze Nuoer panted helplessly, unable to restrain himself from rubbing against Jin Chen's chest.

Jin Chen: "Major General Ze Nuoer, do you have any suppressant on you?"

Ze Nuoer suddenly froze, his remaining rationality feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on him.

He trembled, closed his eyes, took out a suppressant from his personal space, but his hand shook uncontrollably.

The young male insect took the syringe, "Let me help you."

It was still that gentle tone.

But it also made Ze Nuoer feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He displayed uncontrolled mental power turmoil in front of the male insect, utterly embarrassed, yet was soothed just right.

But from start to finish, the male insect remained calm, even able to suggest injecting the suppressant, showing no…… attraction.

The liquid injected into his spine was icy; Ze Nuoer's body shuddered, and then he was held even tighter.

"It'll be fine soon." Jin Chen whispered, not daring to randomly release soothing aura anymore.

After both syringes were administered, Ze Nuoer completely calmed down.

Just then, Jin Chen heard a faint movement outside the door.

Huobote came to "cast the net".

Jin Chen helped Ze Nuoer up, blushing, and said: "Major General Ze Nuoer, I think we need to act it out, for your…… reputation."

Bang!

Two minutes later, the Main Gate of the lounge was slammed open.

Huobote was supported by two female attendants, his face terrible, with several male insects following behind to watch the spectacle.

"Ze Nuoer! You……"

Ze Nuoer put down his book, his gaze cold and stern, his uniform buttons fastened to an austere precision, like cold metal, his light blond long hair making him seem even more unapproachable.

"Your Excellency Huobote, what is the matter?"

On the other side of the lounge, Jin Chen huddled on the sofa, at a loss, also holding the book to read—there really were no props in here.

"Brother, you finally came."

Jin Chen stood up, tears instantly spilling, his eyes wet; no one could bear to interrupt.

"You said to let me hide here, but why…… won't you let me out?"

Huobote blinked, "What are you saying?"

The plan I discussed with that stink bug earlier—where did he understand it to go!

"You came in yourself!" Huobote snapped.

Jin Chen flinched from fright, lowered his head, "Brother, I don't know what you're talking about, and Major General Ze Nuoer also can't get out……"

All the guests: ……

It seemed they suddenly understood something.

They looked toward Huobote, wanting to speak but holding back, expressing their unspoken words through their eyes to the fullest.

Too pitiful.

The guests thought, Your Excellency Jin Chen, also a male insect, was actually being bullied like this by his brother.

Ze Nuoer watched Jin Chen, who was 'acting it out,' and for a moment lost himself, actually feeling the urge to step forward and help wipe his tears.

But when Jin Chen looked over, he had already averted his gaze first, leaving as if nothing had happened.

Ze Nuoer could only attribute his strange behavior today to the influence of mental power turmoil.

{Detected villain triggering Heartbeat Value, Heartbeat Value +10, total 10! }

Huobote could never admit he was wrong, hastily sent to the Empire Male Insect Exclusive Treatment Facility to treat his increasingly swollen and severe legs.

Thus today's banquet ended here, no one daring to mention it in his presence.

After all, that was merely a test by Your Excellency the Male Insect toward the female insect.

On the contrary, Jin Chen received various consolations.

Even after returning home, he was called over by his long-absent male parent—the Claude Duke, also an A-rank male insect—for a lecture.

In fact, the Claude Duke hadn't seen this male offspring for a long time; upon seeing Jin Chen again, even he himself felt somewhat unbelievable.

Did he really neglect this adorable male offspring? Even if he were D-rank, the male insects of the Claude family should be high and mighty.

"Strange, how come you're called Jin Chen, such a weird name."

The charming and handsome Claude Duke hadn't returned home for several months; at this moment, two beautiful sub-females sat beside him, yet he paid no mind, asking Jin Chen question after question.

Jin Chen: ……

This cheap dad is also irresponsible enough.

But in this world, that also makes sense.

Jin Chen: "The name was given by my female parent, male parent, he said you have no objection."

"Oh…… your female parent…"

The Claude Duke thought, "Who is your female parent again?"

Without waiting for Jin Chen's response, Huobote's female parent—the Claude Duke's sole female consort in their marriage alliance, Zoe—spoke up first to interrupt.

"My lord, that's just a female slave you casually brought back; you already sent her away."

"No." Jin Chen sat up straight, slightly anxious, and told the Claude Duke as if complaining: "Male parent, my female parent was…… driven out and died outside."

A female slave being driven away is naturally not a big deal, but a female slave who bore a male offspring for the male lord, driven away and then killed by the female consort, that's another matter.

The Claude Duke reacted, frowned at his female consort, and asked, "Was it you who did this?"

Zoe's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she stammered for a long time without being able to speak.

Jin Chen disturbed the household's peace, and also received a large sum of star coins as compensation from Duke Claude, then lazily went upstairs to sleep.

The immature worms about to undergo secondary differentiation are so tired each day they seem ready to hibernate.
