The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 343: He’d Better Not Do That

Cheng Yushu sat to the side, his head slightly bowed, with his slightly long bangs covering his eyes, making it hard to discern his emotions.

Sitting at the main seat was Lu Zhiya, who had a gentle expression as she looked at the Light Brain on her wrist, seemingly dealing with some documents.

On the other side sat Lu Shinian, fiddling with a Space Button.

The Space Button danced between his long fingers, almost becoming a blur. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

No one spoke, and the entire atmosphere was permeated with a sense of tension.

The three seemed lost in their own worlds, isolated from the outside.

Time trickled by until someone walked in.

Both Cheng Yushu and Lu Shinian looked up at the same time.

Cheng Yushu’s originally indifferent face softened as he saw Su Hanjing’s figure.

Lu Shinian’s demeanor also became gentler.

The invisible membrane seemed to have been pierced, merging them with the world, no longer out of place.

"Han Jing."

"Ruan Ruan."

Both men stood up simultaneously and spoke almost in unison.

Without looking at each other, they directly walked towards the persons of their interest.

Lu Shinian reached Su Ruan first, taking her small hand in his large one, holding it firmly.

"Finished talking?" he asked softly.

Su Ruan beamed with satisfaction, "Almost done."

"We can go back now."

She winked at him, her smile deepening.

Lu Shinian understood the look in her eye.

They must have talked about Wood Peach Star.

Then Su Hanjing must also know about the Exotic Beast threatening the Empire.

But it was unclear whether she would tell the Imperial people about it.

Lu Shinian’s eyes darkened slightly, and he tightened his grip on Su Ruan’s hand.

"Let’s head back first," he said softly.

The Star Gate would close in a day, so they had to rush back quickly.

Beside them, Cheng Yushu also walked up to Su Hanjing.

His eyes were slightly red, and he spoke in a low voice, "Han Jing, we should go back."

Su Hanjing grasped his wrist, feeling the searing warmth from his fingertips.

She realized his special phase had reached a crucial moment and did not hesitate, turning to Su Ruan, saying: "Ruan Ruan, I’ll take your father away now, we’ll meet again later."

After speaking, Su Hanjing left with Cheng Yushu.

After they left, Lu Shinian also led Su Ruan out.

Soon, they were gone as well.

At this moment, Lu Zhiya, who was seated at the main chair, slowly lifted her head, looking at the now-empty conference room, with an uncharacteristic hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Lingling, do you think making him remember me forever was right?"

A small white light emerged from behind Lu Zhiya, speaking in a childish voice, "Lingling doesn’t understand."

Lu Zhiya smiled and said nothing more.

Lu Shinian and Su Ruan planned to leave the city first, then head straight to the Star Gate.

Yet today’s exit wasn’t as smooth as their entry the other day.

By the time they reached the city gate, it was nearing dusk. Due to the attention they attracted before, they disguised themselves to avoid recognition.

They thought this would ensure a smooth departure but were unexpectedly stopped by the guards.

By coincidence, the guards stopping them were the same ones who let them into the city the other day.

The guard, seeing they were about to leave, earnestly advised, "Did you also read the rumors that being affectionate outside the city leads to pregnancy?"

Su Ruan: ???

Before Su Ruan could ask, the guard continued, "Who would’ve thought that couple actually got pregnant that day."

It was quite the story.

Just before Su Ruan’s pregnancy was discovered, this guard, bored during his night watch, had updated an old forum post.

#Gossip about people and events I’ve seen as a guard#

This post had been ongoing for over two years, already amassing a following. On a whim, he replied to it that day.

[Today, a couple stayed out until midnight and returned. Do you really get pregnant that way?]

It was merely idle gossip, but by the next morning, the post had blown up.

Netizens, upon hearing about the pregnancy, started digging into Su Ruan and Lu Shinian.

However, due to their scant information, people only knew they returned to the city at midnight.

Thus, this already popular post caught the public eye.

The Imperial people were obsessed with the concept of pregnancy. Hearing that it could be facilitated outdoors, many couples headed out, even returning at midnight, much to the dismay of the Guard Team.

After all, the outside was perilous; Exotic Beasts could attack at any moment.

Should an attack occur, not only would pregnancy be impossible, but lives would also be in jeopardy.

Seeing yet another couple seeking thrills, the guard advised again, "Isn’t there a garden inside? Why do you have to go outside?"

Su Ruan was utterly confused.

However, Lu Shinian, likely guessing what was going on, pulled Su Ruan into his arms and deliberately growled, "It’s exciting outside."

The guard shot him a knowing look, as if expecting this response, and gestured them away.

"Don’t go too far, and come back early."

The Guard Team had increased patrols recently, and so far, there had been no Exotic Beast sightings; as long as they didn’t wander too far, it shouldn’t be a significant issue.

Lu Shinian grunted in response, holding Su Ruan as they left.

Watching them leave, the guard yelled after them, "Just don’t go too far!"

And then he watched as they seemed to hasten their pace.

After walking some distance, Su Ruan asked, "What did you mean by exciting?"

Lu Shinian chuckled softly, sharing his conjecture.

After hearing it, Su Ruan’s mouth twitched.

"The Imperial people will believe anything for pregnancy."

Lu Shinian led her towards the Star Gate, "The Empire hasn’t had a new birth in ten years, and it would be the same for the Federation."

In dire situations, any glimmer of hope is tried without hesitation.

"That’s true." Su Ruan muttered, "Though we have no solution either."

"By the way, third brother is in the Empire too."

Lu Shinian paused, "Cheng Qingye?"

"What is he doing in the Empire?"

Su Ruan shook her head, "Not sure."

"But mother said third brother is interested in the Empire."

Lu Shinian’s eyes darkened, "Cheng Qingye is ambitious; rather than interested, he wants to unify the Empire."

If Cheng Qingye truly governed the Empire, it would be ironic.

An Insect Race ruling a Human Empire—what would become of humanity then?

"He better not do that," Lu Shinian said in a low voice.
