Tong Sui fiddled with the light brain for a while when he suddenly discovered an inconspicuous little feature on the savings interface.
[Bind Family Card]
It seemed this feature was pushed to the corner because not many people used it.
However, Tong Sui’s eyes lit up.
He tinkered a bit more and finally received a message saying “Binding Successful”.
The next moment, Bai Xingluo’s light brain received a notification.
[Your male lord Tong Sui has set you up as a family account; you can use the family payment method to access the balance in the other person’s account.]
Bai Xingluo was taken aback.
He knew about this feature because the family card function had received countless criticisms when it was first launched.
Most of the harshest protests came from male bugs.
They believed that female bugs were merely their private property, so why should they have the right to freely spend using a secondary card?
“Did you receive the notification?”
Tong Sui leaned in closer and said, “I just saw this feature. It’s really great! This way I can help you keep your money safe for now, and it’s very convenient for you to use at any time.”
A rare confusion flashed in Bai Xingluo’s eyes.
No one could resist such unique treatment.
As he met Tong Sui’s clear and clean round eyes, an indescribable warmth spread in his heart.
But before that warmth could flow through his limbs, he heard Tong Sui say:
“When the time comes for our divorce, I will return the money to you.”
Divorce.
Those two words felt like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
Bai Xingluo stared dazedly at those beautiful lips, plump and slightly upturned at the corners, carrying a gentle smile.
How could such a soft and lovely mouth utter such cold and heartless words?
Tong Sui noticed Bai Xingluo’s expression suddenly darkening as if he had become two shades greyer, like seeing a large cloud of gloom hovering above his head.
What was going on?
Just then, Bai Xingluo’s light brain beeped, pulling him out of the low pressure he was in.
He glanced at the caller and his gaze dimmed.
“May I take this call?”
Although he didn’t understand why he needed to ask, Tong Sui still nodded.
With the male lord’s permission, Bai Xingluo walked to the balcony and closed the door.
As the communication connected, he heard an excited voice from the other end.
“General! I’m so glad you’re okay! I just finished training them, and when they heard this news, they almost cried.”
A virtual image appeared before him, showing a strong-looking female military bug with bold eyebrows and big eyes.
This was his aide, Xie Fei Bai.
Bai Xingluo glanced behind him and saw the training base he was all too familiar with.
“I saw online that people are arguing. Not only did they not see a joke, but they also saw you marrying such an outstanding male lord. However, they can’t do anything about it; this is a not-guilty release from the Tribunal, let it drive them crazy.”
Xie Fei Bai rambled on and after a while, he realized Bai Xingluo had been silent.
He hesitated and quietly asked, “General, what’s wrong? Is it that male bug—”
“No.”
Bai Xingluo interrupted him firmly, raising his eyes; the cold frost-like blue gaze carried a hint of warning, “He is my male lord; you should show more respect in how you address him.”
Xie Fei Bai immediately reined in his expression, a sign of deep-rooted submission.
At the same time, curiosity stirred within him.
Everyone on StarNet was saying the suddenly appearing male bug was Bai Xingluo’s premeditated arrangement to evade interstellar legal penalties.
As the aide, Xie Fei Bai knew well that a general who could sacrifice his life for the empire and treated honour as a belief would never do something like that.
This male bug named Tong Sui was someone Bai Xingluo had never mentioned before.
Combining that with the attitude he had shown earlier…
Bai Xingluo had never had a good attitude toward male bugs; he typically turned a blind eye to the advances of higher-ranking male bugs.
It didn’t seem possible that he was secretly in love.
Could it really be hidden so well, with not a shred of evidence left behind?
Just as Xie Fei Bai was lost in thought, the usually silent Bai Xingluo took the initiative to speak.
“Lord Tong Sui is completely different from other male bugs.”
Xie Fei Bai thought, ah yes, indeed, beauty in the eyes of the beholder; this Lord Tong Sui was truly impressive.
But saying completely different seemed a bit exaggerated.
Bai Xingluo continued, “Aside from me, he doesn’t have any queen or attendents; he even applies medicine for me and refuses to accept any property under my name.”
Wait a minute?!
Xie Fei Bai doubted his hearing. Even if this came from the usually solemn Bai Xingluo’s mouth, he still found it hard to believe.
“General, are you joking?”
How could there be a male bug willing to do such things? Let alone refuse to accept wealth and have no other female queen or attendents.
This was simply absurd.
Indeed.
Even Bai Xingluo himself found it hard to believe, that all of this was true.
“Since this Lord Tong Sui is so wonderful, why do you look so troubled?”
Bai Xingluo lowered his gaze.
He was greedy; even if Tong Sui had come to save him, he did not want to let go, did not want a divorce, and did not want him looking at other female bugs.
He only wanted the male lord to love him alone.
However, he did not plan to share this with Xie Fei Bai.
His expression quickly returned to indifference as he looked toward that virtual image, his tone returning to its usual icy demeanour, “Although the empire is calm now, regular training cannot be neglected, especially regarding strategic deployments at the border.”
“Understood, General.”
Xie Fei Bai saluted with a standard military gesture and then quietly asked, “Will you come back again? Everyone in the legion misses you very much.”
