Chapter 1975: Being Pampered by My Wife in the Bug Clan – Day 08

Jin Chen's gaze flicked toward Hubert, "Older brother already has many female attendants, simply…… no matter the occasion, it's terrifying."

Hubert: "……"

"Are you sick? Who let you look?"

Jin Chen lowered his head, as if scolded into not daring to raise it.

The flirtatious Duke Claude reacted, Stared Hubert, "Doing this kind of thing behind closed doors—what are you letting your brother walk in on? You little……"

His fetish is even stranger than mine.

Hubert was unable to speak, and his legs, which had just been treated with medicine, inexplicably began to feel like needle pricks, almost making him faint.

——

Thus the matter of arranging female attendants for the cute bug offspring was put aside like that, and Duke Claude inexplicably felt a bit regretful, then casually threw away a large sum of star coins.

Jin Chen expressed great willingness.

Before the secondary differentiation, potential risk factors had gradually disappeared, and things stabilized.

Only Zenuoer was strange, going to the military department very early each day and often spacing out upon returning.

Jin Chen, who originally had to avoid Hubert in order to get along with Zenuoer, was quite annoyed.

But now, only three short days remain until Zenuoer and Hubert's wedding day.

Jin Chen decided to take a strong dose of medicine.

Coincidentally, as the idea arose, Zenuoer walked over, still wearing his neat, tall military uniform, his handsome face wanting to speak but hesitating.

Jin Chen leaned against the clean, white window, slightly doubtful, waiting for Zenuoer to speak.

After a dozen seconds, Jin Chen helplessly said, "Zenuoer Major General, do you have time now?"

Zenuoer gave a low reply, seeming somewhat troubled, he gathered his spirits to respond to Jin Chen, "Is there anything I can do for you, Your Excellency?"

Zenuoer is still weirdly weird.

Jin Chen looked at him doubtfully and added, "I want to go out and stroll the streets, and by the way buy things to furnish our new home."

"Zenuoer, can you accompany me?"

This is a more intimate form of address than usual.

Zenuoer even sensed a hint of coquettishness, which might possibly be his illusion, but it did not affect his already fluttering heart, making it flutter even more.

"Of course, Your Excellency."

Zenuoer felt a bit embarrassed, yet he meticulously helped Jin Chen prepare the shopping list.

Jin Chen and Zenuoer entering the mall together inevitably attracted various furtive glances.

Some female bugs and subordinate females were attracted to the young, handsome male bug, but dared not approach because of the stern military female beside him.

The whispering discussion didn't cease, and bolder ones pretended to pass by, taking many photos to upload to the Star Net, with blunt and crude titles:

"【Handsome male bug intimately accompanying the military female on a mall spree! Waste of heavenly bounty!】"

L1: ……hehe, I'd rather believe they're really filming an idol drama! But this actually isn't!

L2: How could such a good-looking male bug, Your Excellency, like a military female? I can't accept…… surely the military female is using her status to kidnap!

L3: At the scene, the male bug, Your Excellency, simply can't get enough—he even personally feeds the hateful military female Candy!! The kind you eat by hand!

……

L56: Don't you find the male bug, Your Excellency, familiar? And the hateful military female you mentioned is Zenuoer Major General! One of the Empire's Glory Stars!

The little movements around are simply too many.

Jin Chen pretended not to hear, pulling Zenuoer around to browse, until entering the simple communicator shop, where the eager female sales clerk clung to her voice and accosted them.

"Your Excellency, I'm here to serve you."

Jin Chen stopped examining the manual, casually pointed at a wristwatch model, "This model's……"

Before he finished speaking, a female subordinate handed him a business card; Jin Chen hadn't had a chance to look at it closely when Zenuoer snatched it away.

"No need for introductions, you may leave." Zenuoer's voice was extremely cold.

The female subordinate trembled with fright, then looked pleadingly at the male bug, for jealous female attendants are punished.

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows, leaned affectionately against Zenuoer's back, forehead touching, "Zenuoer, I didn't intentionally accept it."

As if coaxing an angry male consort.

Zenuoer's heart gave a jolt, but he couldn't get out an explanation, merely giving a soft hum.

The female subordinate, finding no interest, reluctantly moved away, her gaze fixed on the handsome male bug being all too obvious.

"You drove the attendant away—how am I supposed to try it?" Jin Chen asked deliberately, breathing softly into Zenuoer's ear, low and ambiguous.

Zenuoer's breath hitched for a moment, he clearly heard his own heartbeat.

He instinctively picked up the wristwatch Jin Chen had chosen, his eyes filled with an indescribable fervor.

"Let me help you, Your Excellency."

"Alright."

Jin Chen extended his wrist, completely unprepared.

His fingertips rested on the male bug's hand back; Zenuoer eased his breath, held it, focused, slightly lowered his head, and his light‑gold long hair slipped over his shoulders.

Jin Chen's free hand hooked a strand of hair and played with it, absently circling his fingers.

From afar, they looked like an affectionately embracing couple.

"It's on, Your Excellency."

Zenuoer reminded softly.

The next instant, however, Jin Chen wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him into an embrace without reservation.

"Relax, Zenuoer."

Jin Chen patted Zenuoer's lower back, muttering near his ear, "Every time I hug you, you're as stiff as a stone."

And also, why have you been avoiding me these past few days?

Ze Nuo'er felt only the scorching heat of the insect pattern, unable to restrain himself he went limp, and could only maintain his dignity by tensing his body.

Hearing Jin Chen's complaint, he relaxed a little, and the thoughts in his mind became active again.

I haven't been avoiding you...

Ze Nuo'er lightly sniffed the faint agarwood, his somewhat cold and sharp voice trembling, "Your Excellency, I am considering a matter."

But his tone clearly sounded like a plea.

Jin Chen patiently waited for Ze Nuo'er to continue speaking, and also stroked his long hair, "Is it related to me?"

Yes.
