Chapter 32: Deception

    Although the meeting with his father-in-law was a bit sudden, Chen Xing had already made most of the preparations in advance. If Will hadn’t come, he would have taken the initiative to visit.

    How could he bear to let Yao secretly register their marriage while shouldering the family’s pressure alone, while he, as the female consort, did nothing?

    The Duke’s act of giving him a card surprised Chen Xing for a moment. He took the card and immediately stuffed it into Yao’s hand. What was milk money? It was all for his darling Yao.

    Was he the kind of useless bug who couldn’t even afford to raise his children and needed his father-in-law’s financial assistance?

    For Yao, the money was just moving from his left pocket to his right. Judging from how spoiled Yao was at home, the Duke probably really doted on his child.

    A child who grew up surrounded by gold and silver, Will pampered him to the point of being almost morbid, fearing that the outside world would hurt Yao even a little. He was willing to smooth out all uncertain factors and let his child live in an ideal paradise constructed by him.

    Yao’s attitude was too firm, and Will couldn’t be the villainous bug who broke them up, so he could only love the crow on its nest.

    The egg was already laid, could he stuff it back and get a divorce? If Yao said he hated him, Will would probably be heartbroken and not want to live anymore.

    Chen Xing adhered to the excellent virtues of a married female bug, wanting to give Yao the best of everything. He was a noble, beautiful little male bug, how could he let the bright moon in the sky fall into the mortal world?

    In fact, the little male bug himself wasn’t picky about food and lodging. It was just that his body had been pampered too much before. The biggest hardship he had experienced so far was when he ran away from home after a conflict with his male parent.

    Yao’s ears were red, he didn’t know why Chen Xing put all the cards with him, and even transferred all his salary to his account. He really didn’t know how to manage money.

    Chen Xing used to think those female bugs on the Star Network who bankrupted their families were stupid, willing to dedicate everything to male bugs, but still couldn’t escape being abandoned in the end.

    As for now, Chen Xing only felt that it was so good. Those bugs who advised them to wake up were just jealous. Even if Yao didn’t want him one day, it would definitely be his own problem.

    It was a matter of course to earn money for his beautiful wife to spend. If the money in the account wasn’t enough to spend, then it could only mean that he wasn’t working hard enough and was too terrible.

    Loving someone was like raising flowers. Yao’s world was very simple, and Will had protected him so purely. Since he had become a female consort, he naturally had to take responsibility.

    Raising a family and raising a child wasn’t the problem. What he was anxious about was that there was always a bug next to Yao putting in a bad word about him.

    Not only did he move to the school to attend classes with Yao, but now he had even entered the house, squeezed him out, and occupied the position closest to Yao, “Look at him! He just glared at me again. Female bugs are all violent maniacs, there aren’t many good ones.”

    Perhaps influenced by Aikman’s work, having heard many cases of male bugs being kidnapped, assaulted, and imprisoned since childhood, Aibei indiscriminately swept them all.

    In the interstellar, ordinary bug families basically lived on nutrient solutions. Most bugs had no concept of whether something tasted good or not, as long as it could fill their stomachs and was convenient.

    The Duke raised hundreds of culinary teams from different planets, with different flavors. Yao had tasted all kinds of delicacies.

    However, Chen Xing’s cooking skills were the best among all the bugs he had ever seen. This female bug was truly an all-rounder, exceptionally talented, and could do everything to the best of his ability.

    With this strength, he would succeed in whatever he did. Most female bugs wouldn’t waste time on improving their cooking skills, which was a meaningless thing.

    Even Aibei, who was used to delicacies and had a picky mouth, couldn’t refuse to come over for a free meal after trying it once.

    “Daina!”

    Outside the training room, a female bug was encouraging and pulling her companion to come forward.

    “Did you hear? The Duke arrived at Central Star the day before yesterday. His exclusive accompanying starship, the Delimini, is parked in the Violet-Gold Floating Region inner harbor.”

    “Do you know why the Duke came to Central Star? Does the Duke plan to reside in Central Star for a long time? Did he invite you to any gatherings or something?”

    “For the sake of being classmates, can you take us along? We will definitely abide by the rules and not cause you any trouble.”

    Under the heavy training equipment, the cold female bug’s training uniform was soaked with sweat. He was like a statue. The second-developed bug armor exoskeleton became more resilient after being tempered.

    The ways in which the powerful and wealthy pleased Will were varied, vying to offer their flattery, fearing to fall behind.

    “I heard that the Duke’s little male bug secretly enrolled in a school on Central Star. This time he came for him. You are the General’s adopted son, you should have a good relationship with that little male bug, right?”

    The news of Yao’s enrollment was highly confidential. Even those dignitaries could only barely get some vague gossip, and they couldn’t dig out which school it was.

    The Duke was still very young and couldn’t have only one female consort. The only little male bug had also reached maturity. It was not difficult to imagine what kind of storm the two 3S-level pure-blood male bugs would cause on Central Star, stirring up the wind and clouds.

    All forces were eager to move, wanting to grab a piece of the cake.

    Daina considered himself an outsider bug. The Duke hated him so much that he didn’t have time to invite him.

    If it weren’t for him, how could his adoptive parent have had such a stiff relationship with the Duke, even to the point of separating, and finally ending in divorce.

    “You’ve found the wrong bug. I don’t know anything about the Duke. No matter what your intentions are, I won’t cooperate with you.” Will refused thoroughly.

    “You! Don’t be ignorant,” one bug gritted his teeth, but was stopped by a companion.

    “If it weren’t for the identity of the General’s adopted son, you wouldn’t even have the qualification to talk to us, a inferior low-grade species.”

    “A rat should have the self-awareness of a rat. Living in the sewer is your destiny!”

    Knock knock…

    The door wasn’t closed at all, and the slight two knocks didn’t attract anyone’s attention at first.

    “General Chris!”

    It wasn’t until a bug saw the rank on the shoulder of the visitor that he exclaimed in shock to remind others.

    They were panicked in their hearts, wondering how much of their words had been heard.

    “General?”

    Even Daina, who had been silent despite being scolded, looked over.

    “Classmates, the General has something to say to Young Master Daina, please step aside first.” The accompanying adjutant came out with a smile to smooth things over. The caring superior cleared the scene, and soon only Daina and Chris were left in the room.

    The door of the training room was locked, and the atmosphere in the room was silent and depressing.

    Slap!

    Daina was the first to receive a slap.

    “I…” The tall body of the female bug flew out, heavily crashing into the tempered wall, leaving a huge dent. Fresh blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the blood he coughed up contained fragments of internal organs…

    “Don’t you have anything to explain? My good child?”

    “As you can see, I’m sorry to disappoint you.” Daina’s skull was fractured, and the intense pain made the tinnitus even worse. He struggled to get up.

    “Daina, I have planned so much for you, willing to wear the punishment collar and be punished, is this the answer you gave me?” Chris sneered, “When did you become so bold as to dare to keep me in the dark?”

    “Father, I will definitely win this league, I don’t need Yao, I can still win, I won’t let you down.”

    Daina sat down weakly, covering his collapsed chest. The blood hadn’t stopped, and Chris’s figure in front of him began to double. He smiled weakly, breathing weakly: “Yao Yao has always regarded me as his older brother… I can’t do it, Father, I can’t force him…”

    Useless thing!

    Before Daina fainted, he was kicked again. This time Chris obviously held back, otherwise he would have really kicked him to death.
