It's time to give out the rings, Admiral!

Beneath the white cardboard box, on the plate the girl brought, sat a whole, incredibly tempting-looking cream cake. The cake, emitting a fragrant aroma, was evenly coated with a layer of snow-white, sweet cream. On top of that unadorned and flawless cream, a simple lace border was drawn with cream, and the girl used only a few washed strawberries as decoration.

"This is... a cake?"

The boy asked curiously. The cake in front of him had no fancy decorations or anything special about it. It was just an ordinary strawberry cake, both in taste and appearance. But looking at the fragrant food in front of him and at the expectant look in the bright eyes of the girl beside him, and remembering that it wasn't the first time he had been tricked by a girl's food, he still felt that this cake couldn't be as simple as it looked.

"Hmm, hehe, Admiral, have a taste, try it and see how it tastes."

The girl smiled gently, nodded, and, showing off her full legs clad in black, handed the boy a small plate for holding the cake and a small fork.

"Making a cake on the ship really took a lot of effort. I spent the whole afternoon waiting in the kitchen to borrow the ingredients and oven from the cooks. Hehe, but it seems it was all worth it. This is the first time I've ever been able to make such a good cake. Come on, have a taste, Admiral, try the cake I made myself."

"Okay, I'll try it."

Using a cake knife, the purple-haired girl cut off a piece with the most cream and shyly and happily placed it on the plate in the boy's hand. The boy didn't say much, but just looked at Marani, who seemed to be expecting his evaluation, and without hesitation, he used a fork to pick up a piece of cream and put it in his mouth.

The rich milky aroma instantly melted in the boy's mouth. Tasting the sweetness that seemed to explode on his tongue like a bomb, the boy's eyes widened slightly in surprise at the cake made by Marani in front of him after only taking a small bite.

"Delicious! So delicious, Marani!"

With a touch of reluctance, he swallowed the cake in his mouth and then immediately declared loudly and decisively. When he first heard Marani say that she had inspiration for a new recipe, he had already prepared himself to taste some unusual cakes, but he never expected that Marani would actually make such a delicious cake.

It's not that Marani's cake tastes better than Lexington's and Glorious's. Perhaps it's just a psychological reaction. Having gotten used to Marani's strange and unusual dishes, suddenly tasting such a normal cake that's not bad either, and not much worse than the desserts made by the upper lady, naturally makes someone think that the cake is incredibly delicious.

"Hehe, I'm glad the Admiral likes it. When I first started making it, I didn't expect it to taste so good. I'm still a little surprised."

Aside from the meals she usually prepares with great care, the girl, who was already looking forward to the young man's praise, smiled happily as her own cooking was praised by her admiral for the first time.

The shimmering light carried an indescribable magic. As the boy leaned his shoulder against his admiral's, she bit her lip slightly, scraped a little cream with the cake knife, and put it in her mouth.

"Mmm, it smells so good and is so sweet, it's delicious! By the way, Marani, didn't you say you had a new inspiration? How did you make this cake? What did you put in it? Haha, if all the dishes you make in the future can taste as good as this one, that would be great!"

The boy licked the last bit of cream off his face, then continued to devour the cake he had already eaten more than halfway through. His attention was so focused on the delicious food that he didn't notice that, for some reason, the girl's delicate face had suddenly flushed slightly just after he finished speaking.

"Well, this... I'm afraid this is a bit tricky, because this time the inspiration is really..."

"Ah? Why?"

The girl, fidgeting slightly with her clothes, blushed even more. She had no intention of telling her admiral that, in terms of recipe, this cake was exactly the same as a regular strawberry cake, and besides…

"Ahaha... because the inspiration this time is actually... it's my love for the Admiral... I kept thinking about the Admiral while making the cake, so I thought I could put all my feelings for the Admiral into the oven and the cream... Hehehe... saying it myself makes me feel... I feel a little shy..."

"Ah, haha, I see... Well, then there's nothing we can do about it."

"Um……"

The lovely girl exchanged a shy and endearing glance with the boy before lowering her head in embarrassment. Hearing the girl's somewhat awkward explanation, the boy, who felt a tingling sensation all over his body as if he had been electrocuted, turned his head away and chuckled dryly.

He felt that the girls in his family were becoming more and more skilled at seduction, and he really didn't know how long he could resist them with his current level of resistance. He was feeling a little weak.

"Admiral, where is Sister Jiajia? I didn't see her when I arrived. Wasn't she with you all afternoon?"

Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly become a bit awkward and made people feel embarrassed, the clever Marani noticed this and quickly helped the boy change the subject and get out of the predicament. Flirting with the admiral is all about knowing when to stop and when to stop. If you force it without regard for the atmosphere, it might backfire.

The boy touched his head and no longer felt embarrassed. He suppressed a laugh and glanced at the still-closed bathroom door. He then pointed to his sister-in-law, who was still alone and withdrawn in the bathroom.

"You mean Jiajia? Uh... she's taking a shower. Jiajia, you've been showering for ages, aren't you done by now? Marani made us a cake, aren't you going to come out and try some?"

"No! I don't want to! I said I'm not going out today, brother-in-law! You eat by yourself!"

Well, it seems my sister-in-law hasn't recovered from what happened this afternoon. It looks like I'll have to wait until later to see if I can coax her out in another way.

"If Jiajia isn't coming out, then so be it. Let's eat first, Marani. After dinner, get some rest. Tomorrow it'll be your turn to go out to sea with Jiajia for escort duties, so make sure you get plenty of rest and are well-rested."

"Yes, I understand, Admiral."

Volume 1, Chapter 399: Old Age

When the alarm clock failed to wake him up as expected once again, and the boy groggily opened his eyes from his sleep, it was already broad daylight.

He gently rubbed his eyes, yawned widely, stretched, and opened his eyes after a good night's sleep, staring blankly at the clean ceiling of the cabin. A faint, lingering fragrance remained on the pillow beside him—the scent of his sister-in-law's favorite shampoo. However, upon waking, he didn't feel Jiajia's body heat, which had clung to him like an octopus all night. This sudden change in feeling made him feel somewhat uneasy.

The curtains in the cabin were not drawn, so the entire cabin was still dark. However, judging from the brightness behind the curtains, it must have been quite late. If things had gone according to plan, Jiajia and Marani should have already set off to escort the ship at sea to relieve Xiaofei and Unicorn, who were supposed to rest today.

The boy frowned, still lying in bed wanting to linger a little longer. He moved his arm, which Jiajia had been using as a pillow all night, but as he moved slightly, he seemed to notice something pressing down on the blanket covering him from both sides. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar, cute flaxen hair and a strand of light purple hair swaying back and forth beside him.

"Dad... Admiral, are you awake? Hehe, good morning, Admiral."

Good morning, brother. Did you sleep well last night?

Two joyful and energetic girl voices suddenly rang in the boy's ears, and the cabin curtains were suddenly drawn, illuminating the cabin brightly. The somewhat dazed boy then realized that his younger sister and his "daughter" had been sitting on either side of his bed since some time ago, at least before he woke up.

"Hmm... good morning, Xiaofei and Unicorn... when did you arrive? Why didn't you wake me up?"

The drowsiness vanished instantly. The boy blinked in confusion and asked the girls who were giving him cute smiles what was going on. Hearing his admiral father's slightly embarrassed voice, perhaps because she had seen him looking sleepy, Phelps reached out and gently took the boy's hand that was outside the blanket.

"Jiajia and Marani came to hand over to Unicorn and me at six o'clock in the morning, and now it's already past nine o'clock... Admiral is such a lazybones. Hehe, actually it's because we saw that you were sleeping so soundly, and Unicorn and I really couldn't bear to wake you up."

"I've slept long enough. Next time you see me sleeping in, just wake me up, Xiaofei. Just watching me sleep like this must be pretty boring, right?"

The boy scratched his head and chuckled dryly. Since returning to the naval base, he had never gotten up earlier than eight o'clock these past few days. That said, he was still getting up later than a group of his own girls. Even though the girls in front of him were his little wedding ship and his sister, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Phelps smiled sweetly, though it was unclear whether she understood the boy's meaning. She bent down slightly, leaned over the boy's head, and gently sniffed him. With a satisfied expression, she turned around and picked up a porcelain bowl and spoon from the bedside table.

"Admiral, are you hungry? I made you breakfast. Unicorn and I made it in the ship's kitchen. It's your favorite lean meat porridge~ Hehe... Come on, ah~"

As she spoke, without caring about the reaction of the person on the bed, the lovely girl gently blew on the still steaming bowl of rice in front of her lips, and then put the spoon in front of the boy's mouth.

Before anyone could even feel their appetite whetted by the enticing aroma of the food, they gasped and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Wait! Why are we already fast-forwarding to breakfast? I haven't even gotten out of bed yet! And why is it Xiaofei again feeding me? I'm not a helpless cripple, and I don't have hands. Isn't this inappropriate? Unicorn is still here watching!

Seeing Xiaofei slightly opening her mouth as if she were coaxing a child, signaling him to open his mouth, the man pinched his thigh hard.

Besides having already achieved a state of being waited on hand and foot with his wife's help, now he's lying in bed early in the morning waiting for Xiao Fei to feed him. Is he finally about to complete the next step of being waited on hand and foot? Does this mean his blissful old age is just around the corner…?

Ugh, what?! Could I have actually been fooled by Jiajia? Saying she wanted me to be a useless admiral, just to be taken care of by them? I aspire to be an excellent admiral worthy of them! Retirement life... um... it sounds tempting, but I'm still young, there are so many things I haven't had time to do. Is it okay to just fast-forward into old age like this? No way!

Just as someone was about to subconsciously open their mouth to accept the food from their little wedding ship, the boy, who had come to his senses, suddenly frowned in distress. He smiled wryly at his "daughter," who seemed to be wondering why he wasn't opening her mouth, and then looked at his unicorn sister sitting obediently beside him on the other side. He gently shook his head.

"It's not like I don't have hands. I can just get up and eat breakfast myself. Why do you have to bring it to my bedside? I can do the rest myself. Xiaofei, have you and Unicorn eaten breakfast? If not, come and eat with us."

The boy reached out and gently stroked Xiaofei's soft, flaxen hair. The touch from his fingertips was both captivating and comforting. He propped himself up on the bed, but as he watched his admiral father getting ready to get dressed, he wondered what the girl was thinking or what she had misunderstood. She turned her head to look at the unicorn on the other side and then spoke softly to her.

"Unicorn, could you please bring me the sandwiches and omelets from the kitchen? I'm afraid they'll get cold if I don't bring them to the Admiral soon."

Volume 1, Chapter 400: Is it delicious?

The unicorn obediently went to the kitchen to fetch the breakfast they had prepared for the boy that morning, unaware of her sister Phelps' strange expression and thoughtful look.

Once again, only the boy and his adorable daughter, who was married to him, remained in the cabin. Listening to her husband's father's breathing, which was as reassuring as ever, Xiao Fei gently pursed her lips and picked up the small porcelain bowl filled with food that she had just put down.

"Little Unicorn Sister is gone, so Daddy doesn't have to be shy anymore. Come on, ah~~"

Her gentle face, flushed with a faint blush, looked so alluring. In just a moment, before the unicorn's footsteps had faded at the end of the corridor, and before the boy who had just sat up could react, the lovely girl blew on the spoon in her hand as if she were using the same trick, and then, like coaxing a child, she once again put the fragrant lean meat porridge to the boy's lips.

The food in front of him finally whetted the boy's appetite. He had only eaten a little cake last night, and hadn't eaten anything since he went to bed, so it was about time he got hungry.

Swallowing hard, the boy listened to Xiaofei's voice, which sounded exactly like she was coaxing a child, and couldn't help but chuckle. He really wasn't a child who needed constant care, so why was Xiaofei so persistent? Was feeding him really that enjoyable? Had she even considered how her admiral felt? Being fed by a girl who looked so much younger than him, even though she was his little married ship, still felt strangely unsettling.

"Ah~ Daddy~ Ah~~"

The boy was slightly stunned. Looking at the expectant expression on his little bride's face, he really couldn't bring himself to refuse her. However, holding her rice bowl and blinking her beautiful big eyes at the boy in front of her, Phelps was a little dissatisfied with her husband's lack of cooperation. She pouted cutely and puffed out her cheeks, urging the boy to open his mouth and accept her food again.

"Cough..." The boy opened his mouth, unable to resist Xiaofei's persistent and expectant expression. He bit the spoon and drank the still-warm lean meat porridge. Seeing the girl's immediately satisfied smile, he pulled the blanket around himself and gave her an awkward smile.

"Hey Fei'er, you can totally let me eat breakfast by myself, right? If other people knew that you were taking care of me like this, they would definitely laugh at me."

The boy scratched his head a little embarrassedly. His little wedding ship had gotten up early in the morning and was clinging to him so affectionately, even bringing him a delicious breakfast and feeding him herself. The girl's deep affection and love made him feel incredibly good. But then he thought about how he had refused Jiajia's feeding yesterday morning. If he accepted Fei'er's food today, he would feel a little bad for Jiajia.

"Hmm?" Watching the boy swallow the food in his mouth, the happy girl, who could see her beloved father so early in the morning and his relaxing sleeping face, gave him a cute and sweet smile before he could finish speaking. Her petite and charming appearance made the boy's heart flutter. She put down her spoon and reached out to hold the boy's hand, which made him feel so at ease.

"It's okay, Dad. Unicorn has already gone to the kitchen. Now it's just the two of us here, no one will know."

The girl was right; she had asked the unicorn to bring her the food to distract her, but...

"Ahem! That's not what I meant, Fei'er, I meant... um..."

"Does Daddy not like me feeding you?"

"No! I didn't! Of course I like having Fei'er feed me, you're my favorite little wedding ship!"

"Why is that? Oh, does Daddy not like being fed by others?"

"Hmm... big, I guess..."

The boy nodded. He realized he didn't dislike being fed; he was just a little embarrassed. But since Fei'er had already said so, he didn't bother arguing. The girl, however, seemed to understand something. Her face, radiating happiness and peace, immediately lit up with a look of sudden realization—when she was making dinner with Guanghui, Guanghui had mentioned that her father seemed a little averse to being fed. If that was the reason…

"In that case..."

Feeling that she understood everything, she half-closed her bright, beautiful eyes and placed her fingertips into the boy's palm. She moved closer to the boy beside her, then picked up the porcelain bowl and took a big gulp of the delicious lean meat porridge she had specially made according to her father's taste.

Since Dad doesn't like being fed, why not try a different method that he doesn't dislike?

The girl smiled slightly, her warm lips curving upwards. The aroma of food still lingered in her mouth. Under the boy's bewildered gaze, she slowly bent down and gradually approached his face.

"Feier!..."

Finally, when their eyes met, and the man finally realized what his married ship daughter was planning to do, the girl's soft lips were already pressed against his lips.

"Boom"

The first thing the boy felt was the touch of his daughter's lips, which were still so soft and lovely, and seemed to have a slightly sweet taste. When he met her bright, light blue eyes so close to his mouth, he felt a small, fragrant tongue carrying the taste of lean meat porridge forcefully break through his lips, which were his defenses, and sneak into his mouth.

The girl's saliva mixed with the delicious lean meat porridge, making it impossible to distinguish between them. But looking at the girl's lovely face, and with her soft arms tightly holding his neck, the boy gradually forgot about the food the girl had fed him and began to entwine his tongue with her soft tongue.

The girl's warm breath brushed against the boy's cheek, her rosy face seemingly moved by his response. After a while, the boy, whose breathing was a little rapid, released her mouth and let out a satisfied sigh. Only then did the girl sit up in front of him with a playful smile.

"Hehe, Dad, was breakfast delicious?"

Volume 1, Chapter 401: Rebellious Daughter Against Her Father

"Hehe, Dad, was breakfast delicious?"

When the girl's delicate face appeared in front of the boy again, the lean meat porridge mixed with the girl's sweet saliva had already been swallowed whole by the boy. If it weren't for the slight taste still lingering on his tongue, he probably wouldn't have known what that mouthful of lean meat porridge tasted like.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. Who would have thought that he would be intimately fed mouth-to-mouth by such a beautiful, gentle, and charming young girl as soon as he woke up? So, when the girl's sweet voice echoed in the boy's ears once again, all that remained in his heart was bewilderment and surprise at the girl's unpredictable behavior.

When you said you weren't good at being fed, it wasn't just that you weren't good at being hand-fed! Why did you come to such a terrible conclusion, Fei'er, that if you can't hand-feed, you can just feed mouth-to-mouth?

While it's not that I'm truly bad at being fed, have you considered what would happen if a unicorn saw you doing this? Have you considered what would happen to your husband's or father's pride as an admiral if word got out? Have you considered what would happen if I got addicted to... ugh, spoiled by your style of doing everything for me?

In short, Fei'er, you have no martial ethics. Come on, lie, come on, sneak attack me, an eighteen-year-old old admiral. Is this okay? This is not okay. I advise Fei'er to think carefully and reflect on your actions. Don't make such mistakes again... Even if you do make them again, please find a secluded place to do them secretly. It would be best to do them in a safe and secluded place where you can finish the whole thing after feeding me.

"good to eat."

The boy was filled with mixed feelings, unable to tell whether it was because of his "daughter's" sudden attack or because he was still somewhat unsatisfied. He gently smacked the snake, swallowed a mouthful of saliva that still tasted of Fei'er's sweet lips, and then nodded honestly to the girl.

His words were certainly not against his conscience. Not to mention that the lean meat porridge made by the girl was already very delicious, but on top of that, the girl's deep affection and the touch of her cool and refreshing lips, like citrus, immediately elevated the taste of the already delicious lean meat porridge to another level.

However, this is precisely why the boy's feelings are a little complicated. As a normal male, if he said that he likes being fed mouth-to-mouth by a beautiful girl who calls him "Dad," it just feels a bit perverse! Being called that by Fei'er when doing something naughty has a unique kind of excitement, but calling her that at other times, well, it always makes him feel like a ghost father.

"Hehe~ Does Daddy still want to eat?"

The lovely girl nestled against the boy's chest, her ample breasts pressing against his skin, allowing him to clearly feel their alluring shape and softness. Her breath carried a hint of sweetness, and upon receiving confirmation from her beloved husband and father, a beautiful smile immediately spread across her gentle and kind face, making the boy's heart flutter.

The boy immediately wanted to shake his head. As a man who aspired to become an excellent admiral, how could he possibly give up his ambition just because of a sweet kiss and become a useless admiral who was even fed mouth-to-mouth by his girls? However, before his brain could send a signal to his body to refuse, his head had already nodded heavily on its own.

"miss you!"

"Hehe~ Snore, come here, Daddy, ah~"

The girl looked up with a shy and happy smile, her rosy cheeks upturned. What she loved most was seeing her father's expression when he clearly wanted to refuse but was honestly led by his desires—except, of course, when he was sleeping or when he was lovingly caring for her in bed.

She gently picked up the porcelain bowl and took another small sip of the delicious lean meat porridge. Looking at the boy's face in front of her, she let out a long breath, lovingly cupped his cheeks, and then gently kissed his lips once again.

Having learned from his first experience, the now more skilled young man was able to savor the taste of the lean meat porridge and his daughter's small, fragrant tongue swirling in his mouth. And since he couldn't refuse, and it was even something he had asked for, what else could he do? So he just obediently enjoyed it.
