The male insect adores it! The female general, envious, begs for a kiss.

"You order first."

Bourne pushed the menu that the waiter handed him directly in front of Gu Heng.

Gu Heng flipped through the menu, ordered two dishes, and then handed the menu to Bourne.

Byrne took it and asked the quiet insect cub sitting to the side, "What does Anlu want to eat?"

Gu Heng saw Xiao Anluo's eyes light up for a moment, and then she pointed to several dishes on the menu.

Gu Heng noticed that several of the dishes An Luo had ordered were desserts.

Anlu looked at Bourne expectantly, her expressive eyes seeming to say, "Can I?"

Looking at the dishes Anlu pointed to, Byrne frowned slightly in distress. "Anlu, your father-in-law found out you were secretly eating chocolate last night, and he said you can't touch desserts for the next two weeks."

The baby insects are currently in a crucial period of losing their baby teeth.

Anlu froze, half a month was way too long.

Anlu gently tugged at Bourne's sleeve and said pitifully, "We won't tell Father."

Bourne's expression softened as he saw that Anlu seemed to really want to eat it.

Seeing this, Anlu pressed on, "Father Bourne, you're the best, I like you the most."

Byrne's eyes flickered, but he suppressed the upward curve of his lips and tried his best to keep a straight face. "This is an exception only."

"And remember to brush your teeth when you get home tonight."

"Mmm." Anlu nodded several times, very obediently. "Thank you, Father Bern."

Gu Heng found it amusing to see Bourne looking completely out of control; he had a feeling that the exact same scene would happen again next time.

After handing the menu to the waiter, Bourne turned to look at Gu Heng.

Gu Heng was puzzled by his gaze.

Then Bourne said to Anlu, "Your Uncle Gu Heng is treating us today, so thank him if you want."

An Luo rolled her eyes, then turned to Gu Heng and said crisply, "Thank you, Uncle Gu Heng."

When Bourne saw Gu Heng looking over, he shrugged and said, "My Star Card was stolen, and now I'm penniless."

Although he seemed to have a star coin in his pocket, it was as good as nothing.

Since Bourne brought the little insect cubs, Gu Heng naturally had no reason to let him pay the bill.

He looked at the two insects, one big and one small, and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll pay. I won't try to dine and dash."

Gu Heng looked at the little insect and said, "Anluo, if there's anything you want when we go out later, you can ask me to buy it for you."

Anlu nodded, her eyelids drooping shyly, and thanked him.

Bourne, on the other hand, exclaimed dramatically, "Wow, Lord Gu Heng is so generous! Anluo, let's go to the mall later and max out his card, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Anluo's eyes widened slightly.

Honest Anlo believed that what Bourne said was true.

Anluo struggled internally. He looked at Byrne, his lips trembling as he hesitated before finally saying, "Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate...?"

Seeing this, Byrne laughed and ruffled Anluo's hair.

Gu Heng knew that Bourne was joking. The atmosphere was pleasant and harmonious, and a few smiles appeared in his eyes as well.

Gu Heng curled his lips, "You've messed up An Luo's hair."

Her once smooth hair was now messy and disheveled, looking like a little bird's nest.

Bourne paused, his fingers slipping through Anluo's hair roots as he smoothed it out.

After finishing their meal, they took another stroll.

On his way back, Gu Heng went directly to the military headquarters to pick up Hermes after get off work.

the other side.

When Heemis saw the message from the lord, she unconsciously quickened her pace as she walked out of the office.

On the way, he twirled the ring on his finger.

The sun was setting, and a gentle breeze was beginning to stir.

At the end of the workday, many female soldiers came out of the gate. Gu Heng stood far away under a tree. This was the old spot he had agreed to meet with Hemiris, so that he wouldn't be unable to find the insects later.

As soon as the silver-haired female insect stepped out of the military headquarters gate, Gu Heng spotted her and waved.

When Heemis saw the powerful ruler, she paused slightly, then quickly walked up to him.

Heemis looked at the black-haired, black-eyed male insect and murmured, "Male Lord."

Gu Heng glanced at the insect opposite him, his gaze seemed to shift downwards for a moment, before he quickly replied, "Okay, let's go back."

Heemis followed beside Gu Heng, glancing at the handsome profile of the male ruler out of the corner of her eye, feeling a little itchy inside.

The lord didn't mention a word about what happened last night, but Heemis couldn't help but recall the details.

Heemis only needed to lower her head slightly to see the bright silver streak between the lord's fingers.

He personally placed it on the head of the powerful ruler.

After boarding the aircraft, Gu Heng noticed the female insect's intensely perceptive gaze, and he rotated his wrist.

The simple silver ring shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight streaming in from outside the cabin.

Gu Heng looked at the female insect and asked cryptically, "Is it pretty?"

Heamis nodded, his voice low and husky, speaking very slowly, "Beautiful."

Gu Heng reached out and opened his palm towards him, "Let me use yours for a moment."

Heemis was puzzled, but she obediently took it and quickly handed it to the male ruler.

A moment later, Heemis saw the lord remove the ring from his own hand as well.

Gu Heng's face was half-hidden in shadow, and his long, dark eyelashes drooped down.

He turned sideways, facing the female insect, and used a little force with his knuckles to bring the two rings together.

Hermes considered the slightly curved lines as part of the design, as they didn't seem out of place.

Heemis was astonished when she saw the lord's actions and the rings that were tightly fitted together.

He had never seen such an ingenious design before, and...

Heemis looked up at the lord, her dark eyes silently watching him, seemingly filled with some other deep emotions.

The silver ring was hooked on the lord's slender fingertip.

The tail end felt cool.

Gu Heng asked, "Do you like it?"

This is the same problem as yesterday, Hemires remembers.

But something seems different.

After a short while, Heamis spoke, her voice lower than usual, "I like it."

Finally, the ring was broken in two and put back on each person's hand.

Heemis felt a slight warmth on the silver ring around her finger, though she wasn't sure if it was from the warmth of her master's hand.
