Chapter 1991: Day 24 of Being Pampered by My Wife in the Insect Tribe

"Perhaps you don't know, but two days ago, His Excellency Hubert secretly underwent a mental power test at the Royal Hospital."

"That's quite interesting."

Jin Chen: "What do you know?"

Sophis spoke softly, full of worry: "According to the test results, His Excellency Hubert is now at Super A-rank, only one step away from S-rank."

"Your Excellency, your brother bears you ill will; after the test he tried to ally with His Excellency Beck to frame you, and we discovered their plot when our hospital guards found them discussing countermeasures."

Jin Chen threw a sugar cube at the bun-like egg lying on the table, then suddenly fell silent.

Sophis thought he was upset and hurriedly said: "You can contact me and my father anytime; the Prince's Mansion will provide assistance."

Jin Chen looked at him doubtfully: "No need, thank you for the Prince's kindness."

"Just thinking……"

"Beck is just another of the protagonist's gang of dubious friends."

"When did he offend this guy again?"

Ling Gun Gun perked up, thinking hard: 【Host, Beck is General Danny's male master, that poor little thing with broken wings.】

Jin Chen understood, having asked all he needed to; he was about to rise and take his leave when he suddenly heard Sophis's somewhat urgent voice.

"Lord Jin Chen."

Sophis couldn't help but admit she was anxious; even if things needed to progress gradually, she couldn't let there be no connection at all.

"Next time, can I still ask you out for coffee?"

"Even without these clues, can I still ask you out, I……"

"I admire you."

The terminal's call alert rang just then, cutting off Sophis's courage.

Jin Chen made an apologetic gesture and answered the call.

"Male master."

Zenoer's voice was gentle, and from the terminal came the sound of music, as if someone was absentmindedly playing the piano.

"When you come home, could you bring me a rose from the East District?"

In almost an instant, Jin Chen guessed what his female consort was doing at home.

Zenoer knows how to play the piano, but he's gotten rusty; during this time he's resolved to help Zenoer "rediscover the feel" in the music room.

Jin Chen curled his lips, his tone no longer distant as before; it was an intimacy that Sophis, sitting across from him, had never heard.

"Sure, I'll be right back; wait obediently for me in the music room."

On the other end of the terminal, Zenoer propped his cheek with one hand, watching a scene on the monitor, finally regaining his smile: "I'm waiting for you, I……"

Suddenly lowering his voice, the intimate understanding between lovers: "I found the outfit you wanted me to wear."

Jin Chen clicked his tongue at his somewhat wanton female consort, chatted a few sentences, then hastily hung up.

When saying goodbye again, Sophis couldn't utter the unfinished sentence; aside from feeling disappointed, she just felt odd.

As a fellow female insect, her sixth sense told him this call came too coincidentally.

After thinking it over, Sophis, fifteen minutes after Jin Chen left, used her terminal account to tell him her speculation.

At that moment, Jin Chen happened to return home.

He flicked the housemaid robot's iron skull, tossed the light bun zero egg back into storage, and upon reaching the music room knocked on the door.

"Dear……"

Before he could finish, the door opened, and he was greeted by a clingy female consort who threw himself into his arms.

Zenoer wrapped his arms around Jin Chen's waist, tilted his head to sniff his neck several times, then proceeded to help him take off his coat, never mentioning how much he cared.

The button at Jin Chen's collar was undone, making him look casual and lax; he raised a hand to tease Zenoer's chin, saying, "You're feeling jealous, huh."

Zenoer silently helped Jin Chen take off his coat and put it away, his thin lips slightly pursed, he stepped back two steps to withdraw from the embrace, slightly tilting his head to look at him, his eyes somewhat hazy.

"Male master, are you still satisfied?"

Zenoer was wearing a military general‑rank ceremonial uniform, used for attending various important occasions.

But he wasn't wearing the shirt underneath, only a tightly wrapped platinum‑colored windbreaker that showed off his broad shoulders and narrow waist, with a gun‑holster strap bound tightly around his leg.

Jin Chen held his firm waist with a little force, and Zenoer obediently leaned back into his embrace to nudge his lips.

"If I wear this uniform and play the piano for you, would that be alright?"

"Mm, guiding my wife's practice, Jin Chen has a duty."

The music room's door closed again.

Until late at night.

The scent of sinking incense lingered, so soothing that the exhausted Zenoer grew drowsy, turning his head away from the messy state of the piano keys.

"Zenoer."

Jin Chen held him, kissed the corner of his eye, and when Zenoer gathered his spirits and opened his eyes, Jin Chen curled his lips and tapped his eyes.

"Next time you set up the monitor, remember to keep it concealed."

Zenoer was almost instantly startled awake, his narrow phoenix eyes widening, his usual composure completely gone.

"Look, you've left yourself a handle." Jin Chen, as if not satisfied, also laughed while showing him Sophis's terminal account.

Zenoer stared for a few seconds; his calm, harmless act couldn't hold, he slightly curled his fingers and, in self‑abandonment, buried himself in Jin Chen's embrace.

"You said I could be jealous." Zenoer's voice was a bit muffled, he made no effort to hide his rising possessiveness, and he rubbed against Jin Chen's neck to kiss him, saying, "I don't like you meeting female insects alone; I feel awful."

Jin Chen stroked the splendid insect pattern on Zenoer's neck, his proud, laughing voice sounding both tempting and praising: "You did very well."

"Zenoer, I'm glad you finally forgot that damned female consort rule."

Zenoer looked up at him, faintly feeling that the male master was turning the tide of what had happened at the Prince's Mansion.

In that moment, Zenoer happily narrowed his eyes, leaned back, and gently stroked Jin Chen's hair, as if silently soothing him.

When whispering low by the ear, entangled and reluctant, word by word, a kiss fell on the ear, "Master, I really care about you."

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +8, total 73!】

Jin Chen did not respond to the terminal, satisfiedly hugging Ze Nuo Er and kissing him for a while, when suddenly his shoulder was pressed down.

Jin Chen moved dubiously, "What are you doing?"

Ze Nuo Er was bothered again, and after the pheromones were alleviated, he instead became energetic, recalling the current time.

He stood up, speaking softly: "You haven't had dinner yet; shall we continue this after we return to the room tonight?"

Jin Chen pinched his face, "I'm not hungry... okay, okay."

He always had to satisfy the consort's baffling demands; recently Ze Nuo Er, using the excuse that he still needed to grow, had learned quite a few new cuisines, yet he did not tire of feeding him.
