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

The shop assistant approached, looking at the two male insects with a knowing expression. "May I ask, which gentleman would like to purchase an incubator?"

Byrne pointed to the insect beside him, his tone unwavering, "Him."

The shop assistant shifted her gaze to Gu Heng, giving him a professional smile. "Please come with me."

The two insects followed behind the female insect.

The surrounding area was filled with all sorts of insect egg incubators, big and small, long and wide.

Gu Heng was dazzled by what he saw.

The shop assistant asked, "Sir, what are your requirements for the incubator?"

Gu Heng didn't know much about incubators, so he simply said, "I want the best in every aspect."

It seems that this gentleman has no requirements regarding the price of the incubator.

As Gu Heng said, the shop assistant directly recommended the best incubator to him.

"Sir, what do you think of this?"

Gu Heng looked at the incubator the shop assistant was pointing to and slowly walked over.

The salesperson introduced its features to Gu Heng: "This incubator was just launched last month. It innovates on the traditional incubator, not only monitoring the vital signs of the larvae, but also recording their mood in real time."

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Can it even detect the insect's mood?"

The shop assistant nodded, "Yes, we can detect even the slightest fluctuations in the baby insects' moods inside the incubator."

Gu Heng nodded thoughtfully; this was quite high-tech.

"In addition, like other incubators, it also has a constant temperature function, providing a suitable incubation environment for the larvae."

Gu Heng ultimately purchased the incubation box recommended by the female insect. It was quite large, and the salesperson said it could be delivered to his home.

So, after Gu Heng paid, he and Bourne left the store.

Gu Heng said, "Let's go back."

Byrne let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief; he could finally go home.

As soon as the two insects went downstairs, they were stopped by a female insect.

"Lord Bourne."

The female insect looked unfamiliar. Gu Heng glanced at it and came to the conclusion that he had never seen it before.

Gu Heng turned to look at Bourne, his gaze meeting Bourne's complex expression. "The bug you know?"

The other party clearly knew Bourne.

But Bourne's gaze fell on the insect, and he didn't seem happy.

The female insect was right across from him. Bourne opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say a word and just nodded to Gu Heng.

Harmini looked at Byrne with a beaming smile and said, "Sir, what's your decision regarding the matter from last time?"

As soon as the female insect finished speaking, Bourne's expression turned somber, and a sense of gloom seemed to settle between his brows.

Harmini seemed to ignore the male insect's resistance. He took out his personal computer, adjusted the interface, and held it out to Byrne.

"What do you think of these female insects? You rejected the last batch, so this batch was all handpicked by me. They are outstanding in terms of family background, appearance, and everything else."

"Any of them would be a good candidate to be your female attendant."

Gu Heng watched all this without showing any emotion, never expecting to witness Bourne being pressured to get married.

He guessed that the female insect was probably from the male insect protection association, because he had experienced this scene before.

Bourne's face darkened.

The insects from the Male Insect Protection Association have approached him more than once or twice, and he has clearly refused them each time, but they still come to harass him.

It was ostensibly to increase the empire's birth rate.

Bourne just married his queen!

Gu Heng silently took the shopping bag from Byrne and made room for them. "I'll be going now. See you next time."

Byrne nodded haphazardly. He was in a bad mood and didn't have the extra energy to focus on Gu Heng.

Gu Heng hadn't gone far, and the conversation between the two insects could still be faintly heard.

"I will never take female servants; give up on that idea."

"Sir, how can this be allowed! How can a male insect only have one female?"

……

When Heamis returned home and opened the door, he was momentarily stunned by the contents piled up in the living room.

Why did the powerful ruler buy so many things?

He leaned closer and realized that they all seemed to be pregnancy-related items.

The most eye-catching thing is the incubator in the center of the living room. It is transparent and has a faint blue tint in the sunlight.

There was a layer of fine sand underneath.

Gu Heng had just sorted the ingredients he bought in the kitchen when he heard a noise at the door, so he came out to take a look.

Then they discovered that Heamis had indeed returned.

Heemis caught a glimpse of the male ruler approaching him out of the corner of her eye and asked, "My lord, did you buy clothes for the insect cubs?"

He saw a shopping bag containing clothes that were clearly very small, and could only have been bought by the male for the insect offspring.

Gu Heng did not deny it, "Yes."

"I also bought an incubator; they said it can also monitor the baby insects' mood."

Heemis was also taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously glanced at the incubator on the ground again, "It has this function..."

His voice trailed off slightly, clearly indicating his surprise.

Shopping bags were piled up in the living room, looking out of place, so Gu Heng tidied them up a bit.

The night grew deeper.

The two insects were lying on the bed.

By the dim light of the bedside lamp, Heemis saw the male lord move closer and then place his hand on his abdomen.

Even through the clothes, the temperature under my palm was still a bit scalding.

"A powerful ruler?" Hermes asked, his tone uncertain, not understanding what the powerful ruler intended to do.

Gu Heng placed his hand on Heemis's abdomen to feel it, and upon hearing the voice beside his ear, he looked up at the female insect and replied, "I was wondering if I could feel the heartbeat of the larvae."

Heamis paused for a moment, then thought for a while before saying, "It's still early in the pregnancy, she probably can't hear us."

Gu Heng indeed did not feel any movement under his palm.

Heemis thought that the male ruler would give up the idea after hearing it, but to his surprise, the male ruler suddenly moved closer and pressed his face against her belly.

Heemis stared at the top of the lord's dark hair, her breath catching in her throat for a moment.

Gu Heng closed his eyes and focused intently on the sensation for a while before finally turning his head away.

Gu Heng turned to look at the female insect and said, "We really can't hear it now."

He suddenly remembered that yesterday's medical examination report stated that the larvae were highly active.

That's why the scene just now happened.

The room was dimly lit, so Gu Heng didn't notice Hermes' slightly uncomfortable expression.

Gu Heng lay back down, hooking the female insect in his arms, and gently stroked her back with his hand, his voice soft and gentle, "Go to sleep."
