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

Under normal circumstances, upon hearing her younger sister's strange voice and hearing such words, the astute Missouri would surely have sensed something amiss. However, faced with the long-awaited return of her beloved boy, she had completely lost her composure and failed to grasp the emotions contained in Wisconsin's words.

Knowing full well just how sharp her younger sister's tongue was, and fearing that her sharp words might embarrass the admiral who had just returned, Missouri looked with great concern at her younger sister, whose figure and looks were in no way inferior to her own.

"Wisconsin..."

She withdrew her pretty face, which was only a hair's breadth away from the boy's, allowing the boy, who had been facing that star-like perfect face, to quietly put his heart at ease.

Even though he had accepted the fact that they were his ship girls, facing such a stunning beauty who exuded star quality up close still put him under just as much pressure as when he faced Washington. There was no way around it; after all, he had always been a shut-in who loved staying at home before coming to this world.

Missouri's words made Wisconsin, who had her arms crossed, glance at her without batting an eye. Of course, she scoffed at her third sister's worries. Before the admiral disappeared, she, along with her sister, second sister, and eldest sister who had sneaked out and gotten the ring first, was one of the admiral's most valued and precious combat forces. Her longing for the admiral was no less than theirs, so how could she possibly be sarcastic to him at a time like this and leave him with a bad impression?

"But I'll forgive you this time, since you're the admiral, aren't you?" Wisconsin smiled almost imperceptibly, crossed her slender arms over her chest, and slowly shook her head. However, before she could finish speaking, she suddenly took a step forward in her white high heels.

A refreshing fragrance wafted over him, and before Missouri could even back away, the equally beautiful Wisconsin was right next to him again. Looking down at his "little sister-in-law's" rosy lips and feeling her little finger touching his chest, the boy didn't have time to react before he heard her whisper in his ear, "But if you dare to do it again, I won't be so lenient. Without some compensation, I won't forgive you."

The boy's face immediately flushed slightly from the intimate moment. Looking at Wisconsin, who had retreated contentedly after saying those words, and at her outstretched left ring finger that seemed to be hinting at something, Su Yuchen awkwardly chuckled and scratched the back of her head, feeling as if she had finally understood what the so-called "compensation" was all about.

"H-How could that be? Wisconsin, that was due to unforeseen circumstances before, how could there be a next time?" The boy nodded vigorously, as if expressing his determination.

"Alright, Wisconsin, don't make things too difficult for the admiral. He just got back and doesn't know anything yet. Let's talk about that later."

Seeing that her younger sister was almost pressing her lewd body against the admiral without her noticing, Missouri, feeling a little jealous, quickly reached out and pulled Wisconsin back from her attempt to sneak away. As she spoke, she gave her a subtle warning with her eyes. After all, given her older sister's past record of sneaking away without regard for sisterly affection, she couldn't let Wisconsin continue like this. It was one thing for her older sister, but if even her youngest sister was riding on her head, what would become of her?

Her light blue pupils glanced silently at Missouri, seemingly conveying her owner's disdain for her behavior. Wisconsin, her face slightly flushed, silently touched her lips that had "accidentally" touched the boy's earlobe. She didn't pursue the matter further. She pulled a photo that looked somewhat familiar to someone from her pocket and said to the boy, who was staring blankly at the two sisters seemingly singing a riddle, "By the way, Admiral, do you recognize this photo?"

"?" Upon hearing Wisconsin's words, the boy followed her movement and looked at the photo in her hand. Seeing the beautiful smile of the cute purple-haired girl in the photo, Su Yuchen was immediately taken aback. Wasn't that a photo she had taken when she went out to play with Glorious and Unicorn Sister? How did it end up in Wisconsin?

The boy nodded silently and reached out to take the photo from Wisconsin's hand. "Of course I recognize it. Wasn't this taken a few days ago when I went out with Glorious and Unicorn?... But how did it end up here?"

“Radiance and Unicorn? Those are the two new sisters that Yixian mentioned yesterday? They don’t look like the two from our naval base…” Pretending not to hear Wisconsin’s muttering to himself while rubbing his chin, the uneasy boy, feeling a little guilty for some reason, glanced at Missouri, who was smiling beside him, sweating profusely.

“We found this photo at the harbor the day before yesterday, Admiral. Have you been there before?” Missouri, who had already heard Yi Xian’s explanation early in the morning, didn’t delve too deeply into the matter as she watched the boy hold the photo that had provided them with many clues. She chuckled and pointed to the blurry figure in the wide-angle mirror in the photo, explaining the whole story to the boy.

At this point, the boy immediately understood the situation. No wonder Glorious had said one photo was missing when she was framing them; it turned out Missouri and the others had taken it. "No wonder. Speaking of which, I saw you two at the harbor before. It seemed like you were being pursued by an admiral?"

"You saw him? Why didn't you come out to see us back then, Admiral? If you were here, we could have given that bastard a good thrashing. He actually thought we were two free ship girls without an admiral and even tried to take us back. How hateful!"

The boy's casual remark unexpectedly provoked such a strong reaction from Missouri. Recalling what happened that day, she gritted her teeth. Trying to recruit a ship girl who already had an admiral was the greatest disrespect to them, especially since it happened in front of their beloved admiral. If nothing had happened, that would have been fine, but if she had been misunderstood, she would have been ready to kill him.

"Sorry, but I didn't know at the time either. When I saw you two, I thought you were big stars from somewhere else." The young man spread his hands innocently. He didn't expect that his seemingly mature and composed secretary, Li, would be so excited about such a small matter. He was a little surprised and quietly shrank his neck. At that time, how could he have known that they would be his ship girls? Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt sorry for his colleague who had been harshly criticized by Wisconsin.

"By the way, speaking of which, Missouri has really become a star while you were away, Admiral. Now, if you walk down the street, you'll see one of her posters every few minutes..."

Volume 1, Chapter 116: Stars

"By the way, speaking of which, Missouri has really become a star while you were away, Admiral. Now, if you walk down the street, you'll see one of her posters every few minutes..."

Missouri's face flushed slightly at the boy's seemingly complimentary words. She silently despised her cheap third sister, who appeared fashionable and noble on the surface but actually became aroused whenever she saw the admiral. Wisconsin, seemingly deep in thought, calmly continued the boy's words.

The admiral didn't follow celebrities. In some ways, he couldn't even understand those "darlings" who received so much attention. Thinking that this was a well-known fact in the naval base a long time ago, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Although it was just a harmless joke, Wisconsin couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure as long as it could make Missouri, who was praised by the Admiral, suffer a setback, and make her seemingly superficial but actually obsessive friend, who was actually very concerned about the Admiral's every move, panic a little and ignore the crazy, suggestive look in someone's eyes.

"Oh? I see... Ah, now that you mention it, I remember seeing Missouri posters on the street when I went out earlier. They were so stylish and beautiful, I thought it was some famous international superstar."

Hearing Wisconsin's words, he didn't notice Missouri's increasingly uneasy expression. The boy began to recall the huge poster he had seen on the wall of the Haven Mall. Now that he thought about it, apart from wearing large sunglasses, the woman in the poster had a completely different cold and aloof temperament from her current image as a kind and gentle older sister. The woman in the poster really looked exactly like Missouri.

Just as Wisconsin knew, the boy wasn't particularly interested in celebrities. Having lived through the age of advanced internet technology, he was acutely aware of the corrupting influence within the entertainment industry. However, when it came to ship girls becoming celebrities, especially his own ship girls, he felt it was perfectly natural. They possessed beauty that ordinary people couldn't match, and even more so, kindness and virtue that were rare in this world. If even they couldn't become "celebrities," then who did?

However, Missouri had no idea what the boy was thinking. All she knew was that the boy had once said he disliked so-called public figures, especially chickens... cough... Now, the thing she wanted to keep from the admiral had been exposed by her silly sister in just a few words. Fearing that the admiral would develop a dislike for her because of this, she was so flustered that she hurriedly explained to the boy.

"No, no, Admiral, I'm not a celebrity. I just did a spokesperson job for a cosmetics company and took a couple of posters. I'm far from being a celebrity. Besides, if it weren't for Wisconsin insisting that I try out those two special shades of lipstick, I wouldn't have had the chance to shoot any posters..."

He seemed to faintly hear Wisconsin scoff lightly beside him. Looking at Missouri, who seemed eager to explain something to him, the boy silently scratched his head. He had a feeling that the two sisters were having some strange interaction, but he just couldn't figure it out.

"You only shot posters? But that's still amazing. Look at how many posters are plastered everywhere. It shows that they were very successful in getting you, Missouri, to be their spokesperson. And with your star quality, Missouri, it would be easy for you to become a big star."

“Yeah, before you came back, Admiral, a group of guys who looked pretty famous came to Missouri specifically to ask if she wanted to be an actress or something.” Wisconsin, once again unmoved by her sister’s warning and with a spirit of enjoying the drama, continued.

Missouri was slightly relieved by the boy's answer. Despite his unscrupulous sister's embellishment, it seemed that the admiral had not misunderstood him because of it.

Yes, after all, the admiral has always been this kind of person. Even though I know he wouldn't be angry with me over something like this, why am I still so worried…? The only explanation is that… because of the increasingly burgeoning emotions within me…

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and everything before her seemed to change. Gently touching the beautiful six-pointed star earring on her right earlobe, her emerald green pupils gazed at the boy in front of her. She softly said to him, "No, Admiral, you're exaggerating. Besides, I think you're more suited to be a star than me. Just look at our naval base. It's because of you that everyone is gathered here. I've never seen any other admiral with such a powerful appeal."

Staring at him with those clear, bright blue eyes, the boy blushed and swallowed hard, not knowing what had affected him. He looked at those eyes reflecting his face. Although he didn't know why, he felt that Missouri seemed to have changed a little. The unknown emotion revealed in her pupils made him a little afraid to look directly into her eyes.

"How could that be, Missouri? Stop making fun of me. The reason I'm popular is because everyone is... well... kind. Saying I have influence is really giving me too much credit."

Ultimately, she gave in and, blushing, looked away. Su Yuchen guiltily turned her head away amidst Missouri's smile. If every ship girl showered her with such flattery upon meeting her, with her mental fortitude, she probably couldn't withstand such a mental attack. Moreover... judging from their eyes, they probably really thought so.

"Hehe, I'm not just flattering you, Admiral, because I really think so. Look into my eyes if you don't believe me." Missouri felt she had never been so bold before. This time, she was the one ignoring Wisconsin's somewhat dark face. She reached out and gently kneaded the boy's cheeks, then turned his face back. As she spoke, she winked at him with her bright blue eyes.

Seeing that the poor boy was about to succumb to the enthusiasm of a beautiful woman, Wisconsin, who had unexpectedly lost out instead of gaining an advantage, pulled the boy away from her cheap sister's clutches with a dark face. Looking at the girl's chin that seemed to be held up to the sky, Wisconsin, who was furious, secretly mouthed a few words to her.

Perhaps something had happened, or perhaps nothing had, but seeing Missouri, who had just been smiling, suddenly change her expression, and hearing her anxiously say to him, "Ah, Admiral, let's continue later. There are other sisters who are eager to talk to you, so Wisconsin and I will go wait for you over there." After saying that, before the boy could react, she grabbed Wisconsin's wrist and walked towards Lexington and the others behind them.

Volume 1, Chapter 117: Your Whole Family is Arrogant

Baffled by the strange and incomprehensible interaction between the two legendary battleship sisters, and still unable to understand why Missouri's expression suddenly changed, the boy withdrew his gaze from their graceful backs in confusion. However, just as he felt that this change was most likely due to him, he heard a vibrant girl's voice beside him.

"Good morning, Admiral! You're finally back with us! Today is truly a memorable day! Oh, by the way, Lexington said you've lost your memory and can't remember us anymore, right? My name is Atlanta, the lead ship of the Atlanta-class light cruisers. This girl is Juno, my sister. When she heard this morning that they had found you, she was so excited that she didn't even eat breakfast before rushing over."

Slightly startled, the boy quickly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came. However, the next second, he suddenly became a little confused, because while he was still wondering about the interaction between Missouri and Wisconsin, he was suddenly surrounded by five ship girls of different sizes, but all equally flamboyant and exceptionally beautiful.

The boy's nostrils were filled with various warm and gentle girlish scents, and his back began to stiffen uncontrollably again. It was fine when they came one or two at a time, but why did a whole group of them suddenly appear? I was already struggling enough, how am I supposed to... how can I take care of each of you fairly?

The voice came from a girl with short, light blue hair. She was wearing a blue and white coat and a dark blue pleated skirt. Her slender, fair legs were covered with a pair of navy blue stockings. She looked very youthful and lively. However, what was more noticeable than these were the cat-ear-like radars on her head and the long, fluffy, light blue tail on her back.

Even without her self-introduction, the boy could already guess her identity just by seeing these characteristics. After all, he had personally led them in fishing and modifying them, and... although he was a little embarrassed, in the game, light cruisers of their tier were very rare and high-quality anti-air fodder...

Standing to the girl's right was a girl who looked quite similar to her, but with an extra tail, and whose hair and clothes were light red. Faced with Atlanta's enthusiastic introduction, the girl whose hand was being grabbed blushed somewhat unhappily.

"I already told you I ate too much last night, I'm not hungry at all this morning! And, you don't need to help me like this, I, I'll introduce myself myself... Um... you, Admiral... don't think I'm only acting like this because you're back... Of course... I'm a little bit happy... I can admit that (whispering), and, and... welcome back..."

Ah, that tone of voice, that expression... Is this the legendary textbook example of tsundere? Looking at Juno's pretty face turning red because of her older sister's words, Su Yuchen, who was quietly wiping away sweat and still had time to pay attention to these things, greeted the two sisters, "Hello, Atlanta and Juno, thank you."

Although their words still inevitably revealed a hint of awkwardness, the two ship girls, Atlanta and Juno, quickly became excited after receiving a response from the boy. Well, you could tell just by looking at their tails that started wagging happily from side to side.

Gently swaying her two light red tails, each adorned with a spotlight, Juno crossed her arms and turned away from her blushing face. However, before she could hide the involuntary smile that curved her lips, the restless Atlanta leaned against her with a smile and grabbed her wrist. "Hehe, Admiral, Juno is actually a tsundere, you know. Don't let her silence fool you, she's secretly thrilled. And, if she's ever this tsundere to you again, just do this to her!" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand as if demonstrating and grabbed Juno's swaying tail.

"Meow!!" As a member of the Atlanta-class light cruiser, the tail is one of the most sensitive parts of the body besides the rest of the body. Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Juno, her face flushed and still reeling, was startled. Turning back to her sister, who was blushing and angry, Juno could no longer tolerate Atlanta's constant sabotage. Like a cat with its fur standing on end, she shouted at her, "You, you're the tsundere! Your whole family are tsunderes! I already said it's because I ate too much last night, not because the Admiral is coming back!"

"Really? Hehe, I accidentally overheard Juno talking in her sleep last night, saying she likes the Admiral the most... Waaaaah..."

"Aaaaaah!!! I never said that! I didn't even dream about the Admiral last night!! You, you mustn't have misunderstood!"

Listening to the girls' playful banter and seeing the heartwarming scene of sisterly affection before him, the reassured boy smiled gently. Atlanta was right, but could this same tactic also be used against himself? With a mischievous glint in his eyes at the tail behind Atlanta, which was also tied with an anchor and swaying gently, before the boy could even try it out himself, a girl with long blonde hair, wearing a light black dress and bunny-ear-like ship armor, spoke to him.

"Good morning, Admiral. The Princeton sends its greetings. Last night I used tarot cards to predict when I would be able to find you. I didn't expect the result to come true so quickly."

Following the sound, the boy looked to his right and saw Miss Qingmu looking at him with gentle eyes. He rubbed his arm and replied, "Good morning, Princeton, uh..."

Without the bunny girl outfit, which was one of the game's signature features, and a whole bunch of magic props, the boy almost didn't recognize the girl in front of him as the Princeton, the light aircraft carrier who used to be his main force in sniping. Although it was a bit of a pity that he couldn't see the Princeton with her beautiful figure in a bunny girl outfit, this was outside after all. Given the ship girls' personalities, they would never wear clothes that were only for close friends and family to see in this kind of setting.

Beside Princeton stood a girl with blonde twin ponytails, wearing a pristine white sailor uniform. Her full breasts swelled prominently beneath her black skirt, and her smooth, slightly exposed abdomen gleamed healthily and alluringly in the sunlight. But none of that mattered. What truly captivated the boy's eye were her red pantyhose encasing her shapely, long legs. Although the girl's attire didn't reveal much, the boy couldn't help but feel a certain sensuality about her.

The boy knew her; with such a pure yet seductive style, she must also be Zi Se's father-in-law's child. However, perhaps because he hadn't played games for a long time, the boy couldn't recall her name for a moment. He glanced at her seemingly shy wine-red eyes, and after a long silence, he could only awkwardly touch his neck.

Volume 1, Chapter 118: The Little Wife

A confused and somewhat embarrassed expression was reflected in Princeton's azure eyes. She turned her head and followed her admiral's gaze to Portland, who was also looking somewhat shy beside her. As if she understood something, she reached out and pressed her hand on the soft shoulder of the heavy cruiser beside her.

"This is Portland, the lead ship of the Portland-class heavy cruisers, Admiral. She might be a little shy because she's seeing you, so please don't mind."

"Okay, sure." Princeton's intervention made the somewhat uneasy boy secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, not playing games for more than a year had a significant impact on him. He had the words on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't think of Portland's name. It was so embarrassing.

Nodding slightly to Princeton to forget her earlier embarrassment, Su Yuchen forced a smile and said to Portland, who for some reason seemed hesitant to look her in the eye, "Good morning, Portland."

Portland's seemingly casual words reached her ears. Her golden twin ponytails, draped over her shoulders, swayed gently in the breeze. Her pink cheeks flushed even more. She glanced at him quickly before turning her head away, no longer looking directly at the boy. In a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, she replied, "Um... Admiral... welcome back to port..."

The gentle voice was almost drowned out by the sound of the waves. If the boy hadn't had good hearing, he might not have been able to hear what Portland was saying to him at all.

He smiled and said "thank you" to Portland. Then, seeing the beautiful cruiser in front of him rubbing her plump thighs, which were covered in red pantyhose, with an even greater sense of embarrassment, he couldn't help but wonder if he had done something to make her feel shy.

He glanced down at his clothes, which Yixian had neatly arranged for him that morning, and found them still impeccably clean and wrinkle-free. His shirt was tucked into his trousers, and most importantly, his zipper was zipped up. So why was Miss Chongxun in front of him so uneasy? He remembered that Portland wasn't the type to get shy around people, was she? The boy became even more puzzled.

Seeing the increasingly confused look in the boy's eyes, Portland's smooth face turned as red as if it were about to drip water. She kneaded her beautiful black skirt and glanced at her admiral's trouser leg. The feeling of shame in her heart became clearer and clearer.

It all started last night. Recently, there has been a lot of news about the Admiral. Perhaps it was because she had been thinking about it during the day, but last night, Portland had a strange dream, a strange dream full of erotic fantasies. In short, she had a "sexual dream".

In the girl's blushing dream, she dreamt that she was somehow having a candlelight dinner with the admiral she had been longing for day and night in her bedroom at the naval base. Under the soft candlelight, she ate the delicacies she had prepared herself and listened to her treasured rare records. In the midst of the romance, she and the admiral naturally ended up having a passionate encounter.

Looking at the admiral's face, which she couldn't quite see but could clearly feel the heat, she and he did many naughty things on her soft bed. However, what made her feel quite ashamed was that in her dream, she seemed to have completely lost the restraint a girl should have. Not only did she try all sorts of positions, but even after the admiral got tired, she actually climbed on top of him...

When she woke up in the morning, she felt her underwear was soaked. After a moment of emptiness and disappointment, she was so ashamed and indignant that she almost couldn't face anyone, let alone see the admiral who was the protagonist in her dream.

However, perhaps because of the dream she had last night, besides being too ashamed to face the admiral, she also felt increasingly remorseful. As for what she regretted? Of course, she regretted why she had been so foolish and had such an awkward personality. She had so many opportunities... What about "the war is not over, how can I have a home"? Now look what happened. After losing the admiral, she, who only wanted to end the war, is now as pitiful as a stray cat.

But what good is regret? Things can't go back to the way they were. After more than a year of arduous searching for the Admiral, all she wants now is to quietly nestle beside him and return to her previous life—a life filled with fulfillment and warmth despite the daily battles with the deep sea. Of course, if given the chance, she would still try…

Her pink earlobes seemed to reflect the blush on her smooth ponytail. Princeton, puzzled as to why her sister had suddenly changed like this, patted Portland on the shoulder with a puzzled look. "When we heard this morning that the admiral had been found, Portland was just as excited as we were. Why is she like this now?"

However, just as Princeton was worried about Portland's situation, a petite ship girl took advantage of the moment to tug at the boy's sleeve and looked down at the cute girl who looked like a smaller version of Lexington. Su Yuchen immediately remembered her name.

Phelps, that's the name of the little girl in front of him. Looking at her light brown, smooth hair, pure and beautiful sky-blue eyes, clean over-the-knee socks, blue and white sailor uniform, and her figure that inherited Mrs. Leigh's smooth delivery, he couldn't help but sigh that she truly deserved to be a child of the Turtle family. The boy couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the top of her head.

Looking back, the first person I planned to marry with the rings I bought before transmigrated was Phelps. Although it's a bit shameful to say, and I have a bit of a lolicon tendency, Phelps, whom I call "Little Wife," is just too cute. Not only because she looks a lot like Lexington, whom I often call Lexington and my daughter, but also because her personality is as gentle and virtuous as Lexington's.

Because of her younger sister, her hands, which had become more skilled, gently stroked the soft fur. With her head being stroked by the admiral's hand, Phelps, her face slightly flushed, squinted her eyes and revealed a rather comfortable expression. She released the boy's sleeve and looked up at his face with her lovely pupils.

“Phelps…Admiral, welcome back to port, I’ve missed you.”

The girl's voice was melodious and gentle. Listening to her reassuring and joyful tone, with her right hand still resting on Phelps's head, the boy slowly squatted down and took out a piece of chocolate he had taken from his mentor Junquan's house. "Yes, I'm back, Phelps. I missed you all too."

He skillfully unwrapped the candy and placed the sweet, filled chocolate into the somewhat bewildered girl's hand. Looking into her flawless, sapphire-like eyes, he continued, "I'm so sorry for making you search for me for so long. You must have suffered a lot. I won't leave you so easily again."

The words of her admiral, mixed with the sound of waves and wind, reached her ears. A hint of surprise appeared on the girl's beautiful face, but soon, as if she had come to her senses, her eyes were a little moist, and she smiled happily. She hugged her admiral's waist with her soft and slender arms and gently shook her head at him.

"Hmm~ Admiral, since everyone volunteered, it wasn't too tough. But Sister Lexington often worries about whether you're having a hard time all by yourself out there... I... I was worried about you too, Admiral. It's so good that you're back..."

Perhaps because of his experience of taking care of Xiaorou for more than a year, the boy was no longer as nervous as he had been when facing Lexington and the others, when facing the gentle and petite Phelps who was somewhat like Xiaorou. Listening to the girl's whispers, feeling her warm body temperature and the already sizable chest pressed against his waist, he smiled and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to gently wipe away the tears that seeped from the corners of the girl's eyes.

"Admiral, Phelps has gone to great lengths to find you over the past year, so you'll have to make it up to her properly later..."

Volume 1, Chapter 119: Testing

"Admiral, Phelps has gone to great lengths to find you over the past year, you'll have to make it up to her properly later..."

The boy was startled by Lexington's gentle voice, which was stroking the little girl's soft back. He turned around and found that Lexington and Yixian had come to his side at some point.

"Yes, I know, Lexington. Not just Phelps, everyone has done so much for me, and I will definitely make it up to you all..."

Gently smoothing the girl's light brown hair, he slowly released his arm from Phelps' waist. Looking at the faint smile on Lexington's bright face, and hearing her words, the boy nodded heavily as if making a promise.

He wasn't a seasoned, experienced admiral, nor was he the kind of charming and charismatic lover. But from their words, he could always clearly feel their trust and affection for him. Faced with a group of girls who refused to give up after he disappeared and tirelessly searched for him, the young man really couldn't find a single reason not to like them.

He couldn't give them everything they wanted, but he vowed to make it up to these lovely girls as much as possible, even if it was difficult for someone who had just stumbled into becoming an admiral.

With the admiral she had been longing for by her side, the humid sea breeze seemed to have returned to its usual gentle and comfortable state. Smiling as she watched the boy and his sister Phelps, who seemed to be a smaller version of herself, in such a harmonious situation that it looked like a father and daughter, Lexington, whose anxiety had vanished, couldn't help but find it amusing as she held Gaja's hand.

In the past, the admiral would always joke that Phelps was his daughter, but when it came to the actual time she wanted to be his daughter, the admiral who only dared to make empty promises disappeared.

Despite being married for so long, they had barely even touched hands. She had tried so many times to seduce him, but he remained as clueless as a wooden puppet. If it weren't for the fact that the admiral, despite his lustful desires, still clung to her and affectionately called her "wife" after their marriage, she would have almost thought that he had already grown tired of her before they even had a chance to do "that kind of thing."

Reflecting on how much his silly admiral still charmed the little girl, Lexington was suddenly surprised to hear the boy's undeniable voice. When did his admiral become so perceptive? Or had he had a change of heart and realized how much he had neglected them before?

However, as soon as she thought about it, Lexington suddenly remembered something. In the past, when she hugged her beloved Admiral, it always felt like she was hugging thin air. Although she held him in her arms, it felt completely unreal. But now, she had just hugged the Admiral again, and the feeling was completely different. Besides the shyness and a sense of security, she could clearly feel the Admiral's body temperature, and even his heartbeat, which was pounding like firecrackers. His breath seeped through her thin dress and onto her body, causing her two sensitive nipples to react. Just now, she had been so focused on the excitement of seeing the Admiral that it felt rather strange now. Or was it because she hadn't been in contact with her beloved Admiral for over a year that she had become more sensitive than before?

Unaware of what had transpired in the past year for the boy, Lexington mistakenly assumed it was due to his excessive longing for the Admiral and thus paid little attention. Her azure eyes gazed at the boy's earnest face, then she tilted her head towards him with a look of tender affection. "Yes, I believe you, Admiral."

She spoke softly to him, just as a virtuous wife trusts her beloved husband. However, before she could finish speaking, Gaja, whose eyes had been glued to her brother-in-law for more than ten minutes, couldn't help but let go of her hand and then expertly joined Phelps in her brother-in-law's embrace.

Listening to her younger sister's energetic calls of "Brother-in-law," and seeing the admiral's somewhat helpless yet delighted expression, Lexington thought that she no longer had to worry about how to get Jiajia, who had lost her brother-in-law, to eat and sleep properly, and that she could finally sleep peacefully and happily beside her lover as before. As if she could see that scene, Lexington, with a beautiful smile on her face, heard Wisconsin's slightly teasing voice behind her.

"Compensation? So, Admiral, how do you plan to compensate us? It's going to be very difficult to satisfy every sister." Turning around, Lexington saw Wisconsin standing next to Missouri, squinting one eye, her long legs encased in thin black stockings, and a meaningful smile on her face.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Wisconsin glanced at herself for a moment before continuing, "If it's just me alone, I know how to satisfy you, all you need to do is offer me a small ring, Admiral... Is that alright, Lexington?"
