Chapter 1974: Day 07 of Being Pampered by My Wife in the Insect Tribe

As the empire's youngest lieutenant general, Ze Noor kept every iron law of the female soldiers firmly in mind.

But nobody had ever taught him how to face the active approach of the male insect he admired.

On the battlefield, Ze Noor had never been this stiff.

Meanwhile, Jin Chen seemed to notice nothing, and kept drawing closer.

Jin Chen pinched Ze Noor's ear tip, which had turned red.

"Lieutenant General Ze Noor, your ears……"

"Your Excellency!" Ze Noor exclaimed nervously, the unfamiliar sensation making him want to shrink back.

Jin Chen gave a doubtful side glance, responded with an approving hum, his tone still teasing: "Lieutenant General Ze Noor, do you have something to say to me?"

Ze Noor's face flushed red; he didn't have time to tidy the hair the male insect had messed up, saying, "No, please sit down first, alright?"

"Alright."

Jin Chen finally seemed to react, restoring social distance, anxiously hugging a pillow: "I forgot, you are my brother's fiancée."

Ze Noor: "……"

It was obvious the young male insect had misunderstood his meaning,

"No, Your Excellency."

Ze Noor even grew a little flustered, for the first time urgently wanting to explain, his tone firm: "I will not become Huo Bo Te's consort."

But Jin Chen's reaction was still beyond his expectations.

"But you still came over, even if your brother wanted to drug you."

Jin Chen looked angry, his dark blue eyes narrowing: "Lieutenant General Ze Noor, your words aren't very credible."

After going around in circles, the topic returned here.

Ze Noor inexplicably felt that Jin Chen perhaps just wanted to hear a straightforward answer.

The fluttering in his chest grew more evident; Ze Noor lowered his head and, amid the scorching breaths, whispered the reason.

"It's because of you, Your Excellency."

"It's only because you're here that I'm willing to come."

Otherwise, without needing to say it was his father-in-law's forced demand, even if he were dismissed from the military, he wouldn't want to see that awful Huo Bo Te.

"Oh~"

Jin Chen drew out his tone, finally restoring his bright, pure smile: "Indeed, Lieutenant General Ze Noor, you simply cannot lie."

He neither refuted nor questioned anything.

Ze Noor's heart suddenly stirred; uncontrollably, he lifted his head, locking eyes with Jin Chen in the bright light, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

"【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 15!】"

The deeper reason, neither of them brought it up again; Ze Noor was simply too embarrassed—looking across the entire insect planet, there were no females who would voluntarily mention such matters.

As for Jin Chen, he was simply unconcerned.

And also his laziness before the secondary differentiation.

Heaven knows how exhausted he is every day.

Soon came the day when the Insect Male Protection Association visited to examine Jin Chen's body.

Duke Ke Lao De unexpectedly returned home, breaking through the narrative barrier; his belated concern for this male offspring was nothing short of spectacular, even preparing in advance a mansion for Jin Chen to choose from.

By contrast, Huo Bo Te, seated in his wheelchair, appeared rather pitiable.

Damn his pitiable state.

Huo Bo Te gritted his teeth, barely able to contain his repulsion toward Jin Chen.

Clearly, this stink bug used to be so obedient; could it be that upon reaching adulthood he thinks he can do whatever he wants?!

"Huo Bo Te!"

Duke Ke Lao De could bear it no longer, finally using psychic power to press down: "What are you restless about? What have you scared your brother into becoming?"

Even though both were A-level psychic power, Duke Ke Lao De was ultimately stronger than his worm offspring, pressing Huo Bo Te until he could barely breathe, prompting him to beg for mercy.

Looking at the sofa, Jin Chen lay lazily, allowing the Insect Male Protection Association's doctor to examine his body, appearing somewhat… weakened from fright.

Ze Noor, standing in the corner, glanced at the male insect in the wheelchair, having no intention to care, and listened intently to the doctor's words.

"Your Excellency's physical condition is very good."

The doctor was even surprised: "The examination shows that Lord Jin Chen's secondary differentiation could very well increase more than one level."

It might even reach A-level.

But that remark is too far-fetched—there hasn't been a single male insect on the whole planet who reached A-level through secondary differentiation.

Nevertheless, this is enough to prove Jin Chen's excellence as a male insect.

Duke Ke Lao De wasn't surprised; he recalled that Jin Chen's father-in-law was a high-ranking female soldier, and he himself was an excellent male parent, so it certainly wouldn't be lacking.

The delighted Duke Ke Lao De declared on the spot: "Once you reach adulthood, the mansion and female attendants I've chosen for you can all be taken along!"

Jin Chen: "Huh… huh?"

Jin Chen raised his head: "Father, why do we still need to bring female attendants?"

The mansion is fine, but the female attendants are not.

Having just asked that, Jin Chen furtively glanced at Ze Noor, only to see him not particularly disappointed, but rather thoughtful.

Duke Ke Lao De was even more puzzled: "Why not bring them? Without female attendants, how can a newly adult male insect take care of himself?"

Jin Chen: "……"

Is this cheap dad indirectly mocking him for lacking self-care ability?

"When I first came of age, I had two female attendants by my side and almost had an accident," Duke Ke Lao De recalled, his youthful experience still leaving him uneasy.

Jin Chen continued to stay silent.

It turns out that male insects generally lack self-care ability.

No need.

Jin Chen firmly refused.

What greeted them was the Male Protection Association's doctor, full of doubt, even eager to try and prepare to report the investigation.

This male insect is too strange.

Jin Chen inexplicably read these words from his gaze.

Jin Chen stalled for a few seconds, then in his peripheral vision he saw Hubert, filled with helpless fury, his eyes slightly brightening.

Actually...

When he spoke again, Jin Chen's slightly choked voice startled all the insects.

Zeo Nuo Er even forcibly cut off his thoughts, staring intently at the heartbroken Jin Chen.

I have a Psychological Shadow about marrying a female attendant.
