IHNMSL Chapter 58

“Thank you, are you… alright?”

The other person shook his head, “I’m fine.”

Yao was embarrassed to refuse the Male Bug’s kindness and could only stuff Isan into his arms, comforting the little bug cub, “Be good, baby, Daddy will make milk and come to hold you right away.”

Aikman was stunned.

His intention was to help prepare the milk powder, but the carefree Yao seemed to have misunderstood and directly handed the baby to him.

This is Yao’s child…

Aikman’s whole body stiffened.

It seemed that Yao and that Female Bug really had a good relationship. Judging from Isan’s current age, it was highly likely that it was an unplanned pregnancy.

The little bug cub restlessly wanted to escape Aikman’s control, his little hands tugging hard, but he was sealed by the Five Finger Mountain and couldn’t move at all.

As Aikman stared at little Isan, Isan tilted his head curiously to look at Aikman.

Aikman’s eyes naturally carried the pressure of a superior, cold, sharp, and lacking emotion. Looking at them for too long could easily make people feel intimidated and not very likable to little cubs.

“Thank you, sir.” Afraid that Isan would cry, Yao quickly took him back after preparing the milk.

Aikman looked at his empty hands, feeling a little lost, but he didn’t say anything.

Isan lay on his father’s shoulder. The little bug cub, not even a hundred days old, was now a solid little weight, getting heavier and heavier.

Seeing Aikman carefully holding the cub, Yao couldn’t help but curve his beautiful eyebrows. “You must have children at home, sir, you’re very skilled.”

“Yes.” Aikman was silent, and seemed to feel that this was too cold. He added, “I raised two children.”

One was sent back to his biological father not long after being raised, and the other was treated harshly from a young age and should hate him very much now.

He was not a good father.

Aikman had a clear self-awareness. It was that he had not paid enough attention to Aibei’s growth, otherwise the little Male Bug would not have been spoiled into such an arrogant and unreasonable character.

Male Bugs have a strong mental sensitivity. Yao could sense the other person’s fluctuating emotions and didn’t understand why this Male Bug suddenly felt sorry for himself.

Isan drank his milk very slowly, taking small sips, his little face chubby. As if he was shy, he turned his body, his head against Yao’s chest, wanting to hide.

Aikman seemed to realize something and suddenly spoke.

“Why didn’t you choose to feed him father’s milk? Did his father not want to?”

This question seemed a little too personal, Yao thought in confusion. Could strangers they met for the first time ask such questions?

However, the other person’s tone was simply casual, without any malice.

The Bug Clan did not have so-called nutrition experts who insisted on the custom of feeding with father’s milk. Formula feeding was also a very good choice.

Scientific formula milk powder was even healthier than pure father’s milk feeding. After all, a large part of the bug cubs were not born through natural reproduction. From the moment they hatched, they had no parents, let alone a father.

Yao patted Isan’s back, feeling a little embarrassed.

The little cub usually loved to call Chen Xing “Father,” but… they had no blood relationship. Chen Xing was just someone he hired to take care of the little cub. There was no need to sacrifice so much, get those strange injections, and personally breastfeed. He was not a tool bug for producing milk.

Seeing Yao’s inexplicably flushed cheeks, Aikman stopped asking. “Sorry, I was being presumptuous.”

“Actually, I also had a bug egg. If it could have hatched smoothly, it might have been a few years older than you. Unfortunately…” Aikman slowly pulled up a photo of the bug egg.

After the breakup, Aikman stopped the hatching plan and sealed the bug egg. Later, no matter how much mental energy he injected, it was in vain.

“I’m sorry, I made you recall sad memories…” Yao scratched his head, feeling a little guilty.

“It’s okay, it’s my own problem.”

Aikman did not miss Yao’s reaction to the photo. Subconscious reactions could not be faked. Yao did not show any abnormalities.

It seemed that the bug egg really wasn’t with this “amnesiac” Yao. He had never seen it, no impression of it.

Regardless of whether he had memories or not, Yao was a simple-minded child who wasn’t very good at lying. Aikman understood him very well.

“Do you want to rest for a while? I’ll keep Isan quiet.”

Yao hadn’t forgotten that the other person was still a sick bug. This connected ward was a bit disturbing to his rest.

The Male Bug’s face was pale, and he looked like he was in a lot of discomfort.

Although little Isan was young, he could already reason. He understood what Yao told him.

He immediately covered his mouth, nodded, indicating that he was a good boy, “Mmm, Isan be good…”

“It’s okay, I have work to do.”

Aikman waved his hand, indicating that he would not be disturbed, telling Yao to relax and not worry too much.

Since he was just a stranger, Yao didn’t know what to say.

“Isan, are you okay?” In the video, two little cubs squeezed in front of the camera, looking at Isan guiltily.

Chen Xing moved the optical brain further away and waved at Yao, suppressing his eagerness, “Don’t worry about home, baby. Have you eaten yet? I’ll bring you food right away.”

“Don’t come over, it’s too much trouble to travel back and forth. I’ll take care of it myself near the hospital.” Yao reassured the two small ones and one large one.

Completely unaware that Kirill and the military Female Bugs he brought were already confronting Aikman’s accompanying guards.

Also carrying out the task of protecting the Male Bug, their duty was to not give an inch, even if the other party’s superior was a noble Male Bug.

“Damn it! Sneaking around, report your unit number! Why are you searching our little Highness’s residence? Do you have that right?”

Kirill was full of fire. If the Highness’s Female Consort hadn’t reminded him, he wouldn’t have noticed that little mice had sneaked into the Highness’s home that he had been guarding.

The point that made him angry was not because he was underestimated by Chen Xing, but because they actually had such a terrible oversight.

“Enough, no need to search, withdraw all the bugs that were sent out…” Aikman calmly ordered.

“But—” The adjutant wanted to say something, but lowered his head immediately after meeting Aikman’s tired eyes, and responded, “Yes, sir.”

“How is Aibei?” Thinking of the one at home, Aikman felt a little upset.

The adjutant truthfully replied, “The young master should still be confined on Central Star.”

No crying, no fuss, this didn’t fit the young master’s character, the adjutant tsked.

Too quiet, something was definitely wrong.

The adjutant hadn’t figured out what was wrong with Aibei and was preparing to report other things.

Aikman suddenly asked him to come closer, his palm open upwards, placing a strand of hair in the envelope bag on the table and handing it to him.

The Male Bug coldly said, “Take it to test the genes.”

“Test with whom?” The adjutant was a little confused for a moment. Really? Where did you get this hair, sir?

“Me!” The Male Bug’s voice was soft.

It landed in the adjutant’s ears like a thunderclap. Aikman’s character wouldn’t suspect anything out of thin air. The adjutant believed that the commander had his reasons for doing so.

But…

Weren’t they here to find the lost egg from the laboratory? Where did Lord Aikman get another child?

The cliche scenarios of getting drunk and losing his virginity, being drugged, and one-night stands hadn’t been tried by bugs before, and some admirers were still holding onto hope.

But they were completely ineffective against their commander, who was a cold fish.

Regarding Aikman having an illegitimate child, it was more believable that Aibei was his biological child, because Aibei really looked like him, carved from the same mold.

The commander didn’t have much experience with love. The only one he ever dated was a Male Bug. Compared with Aikman’s magnificent political career, his love history was much thinner and was still strictly forbidden to be mentioned.

Could it be that a bug really succeeded? Lord Aikman would probably kill the bug who insulted him the moment he woke up, right?

The adjutant felt a chill. He couldn’t figure it out no matter how he thought.

“I bought some things for Isan outside the hospital. Do you want to eat some fruit?”

Yao didn’t expect other bugs to have entered the next-door patient’s room. He stopped outside, his voice a little embarrassed as he asked. It wasn’t right to go in, and it wasn’t right not to go in.

Besides Aikman, there was also a very tall Female Bug present. Estimated to be over 1.9 meters tall, with a handsome face. Whether it was the color of his pupils or the bug patterns revealed on his neck, they were characteristics that only nobles had, definitely a high-level Female that was rarely seen on this planet.

“Thank you, Yao Yao, come in first.” Aikman’s attitude was very gentle.

“Is he your Female Consort?”

Yao hadn’t forgotten Aikman mentioning that he had also raised two children, so he naturally assumed that he was a married Male Bug.

Although it was someone else’s family affair, his Female Consort was too unreliable, actually leaving the sick Male Bug alone in the hospital, and only coming to see him after so long.

“Female Consort?” The Female Bug’s face turned white.

Aikman’s adjutant almost fell to his knees when he heard this word. Living ancestor, what are you talking about?

“No, I don’t have one, don’t talk nonsense!”

Triple denial, clearing the relationship faster than a rocket launch.

Heaven and earth could bear witness, he had only pure respect, admiration, and loyalty from a subordinate to a superior for Aikman. He absolutely did not have any improper thoughts!

Lord, you must believe me! The adjutant was about to cry.

He had worked so hard to rise to his current position, selected from thousands of high-level Female Bugs. He wouldn’t be like those Female Bugs who couldn’t think straight and lusted after Aikman. He was a serious Female Bug who only had professional ethics and was dedicated to his career.

“He’s a colleague,” Aikman said, considered as relieving the adjutant’s embarrassment.

“I’m sorry.” Yao apologized. The other party’s reaction frightened Yao a little. He didn’t expect a casual remark to cause such serious trouble.

Aikman seemed really busy. At least, whenever Yao encountered him on this day, he was almost always working.

“Am I disturbing you?” Yao put down the fruit.

“The work issues have already been dealt with,” Aikman smiled, turning his gaze to Yao holding the little bug cub.

He seemed to have recovered from the fever and was in much better spirits.

Isan held an orange that was bigger than his fist in one hand, wanting to share the weight for his father. Yao sighed as he held the silly cub.

“Does baby want to eat an orange? Ah… open your mouth…”

Aikman was amused, coaxing the little bug cub and peeling a segment to feed him.

Because they were picked early and the season hadn’t reached maturity, Isan’s eyes narrowed from the sourness, and little tears fell patter patter.

“Waaah, Daddy, bad bug bullying me,” little Isan complained.

“Didn’t you insist on buying it to eat? Isan, you can’t be rude.” Yao poked the little bug cub’s wrinkled nose.

Aikman wasn’t angry, patiently squatting down, his gaze level with the little bug cub’s, rinsing Isan’s mouth and wiping away the orange juice.

The patience was amazing. When did their lord, with his golden and precious hands, ever touched such things? The little cub’s saliva was all over it. One would think that it was his own…

Hmm? Suddenly, the envelope in his pocket felt a little hot, what to do?
