As his vision returned, Xia Yuan turned around and saw Rita Rossweisse standing on the edge of the field, wearing the maid outfit decorated with roses, smiling at him. The maid was as beautiful and elegant as ever.
Her long, silvery-white hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her reddish-brown eyes shimmered softly in the sunlight.
That's just his perspective.
Today, Rita exuded an indescribable charm that captivated him, until she gently reminded him, making him realize his lapse in composure.
"Ahem... Rita, did you come with Durandal?"
Xia Yuan stood up and patted the dirt off his hands.
To ease the awkwardness, he changed the subject, but he didn't seem to see Durandal around.
Rita shook her head.
"I did not come with Lady Durandal. Due to personal reasons, I requested a long leave from Theresa. The main reason for my visit is to see you, Mr. Xia Yuan."
"Me?" He pointed to himself, somewhat uncertainly.
"Of course, Mr. Xia Yuan, you should still remember the promise you made to Rita before, right? To let me be your personal maid and stay by your side at all times. Because recently, Tianming had various things that needed Rita to handle, but now Rita can finally take the time to stay by your side, Mr. Xia Yuan, and be inseparable from you."
Rita smiled gently, walked to Xia Yuan's side, and naturally took his hand.
"Inseparable?! Do they have to shower and use the toilet together too?"
“Rita can stay at the door and hand you a towel or tissues. Of course, if you want to come along, Master… Rita is at your beck and call.” She leaned close and gently bit Xia Yuan’s earlobe with her teeth.
His face flushed slightly.
Unexpectedly, even someone as experienced as him as he was, still lost to Rita.
Chapter 759 It's just that I ate too much.
There's no way around it, Rita is just too good at flirting.
Compared to Mei's gentleness, Bronya's shyness, and Kurohime's tsundere nature, Rita is more like a seductive little vixen, specifically targeting his heart. And he himself doesn't even know when he agreed to Rita's advances.
But recalling that I had experienced intermittent amnesia several times in the past.
He knew he had indeed suffered a lot in this regard, and rather than Rita squinting at him with a utensil knife and asking him to choose between being the host or having lunch under the knife, he might as well take the initiative himself.
Besides, having a maid to take care of you is what true farm life is all about!
"I...I'll be careful. I'll sneak over while you're sleeping, Rita," he muttered under his breath. After all, Rita always has time to rest; she can't possibly stay awake and keep watching him all the time, can she?
Seeing her master's reaction, Rita's pupils became even deeper.
She licked her slightly dry lips, which still retained a trace of his taste. Her desire to possess Mr. Xia Yuan intensified, and she could no longer restrain herself. She wished she could push him down onto the field right then and there.
But Rita knew it wasn't the right time yet, even though she couldn't hold back any longer.
Just now, she noticed a gaze directed at her from the small villa, a gaze that carried a hint of hostility.
After Xia Yuan left, Bronya lost interest in playing games.
She planned to observe the other party's situation from outside the window. If they encountered any trouble with planting bitter melon, she would go down and use her knowledge as a Lawyer of Reason to give them some pointers. However, unexpectedly, an uninvited guest quietly appeared next to her foolish subordinate.
"That's Rita next to that idiot subordinate?!"
"When exactly did they come here? They said they were going to farm, but instead they were secretly meeting with Rita at the farm." This undoubtedly made Bronya wary, and she kept pulling on the ears of the Hom doll in her arms to vent her emotions.
prior to.
Rita was thinking of kidnapping her stupid subordinate.
The other party's sudden appearance now was definitely not a good thing, so she quickly took a picture and sent the photo of the two of them together to Mei, who was in the mine, accompanying Himeko and Seele to mine crystals.
【Mei, come to the farm immediately!】
[Oh, and remember to bring Seele's other personality along. If you don't come soon, your idiot subordinate will be kidnapped by Rita.]
She alone might not be a match for Rita.
But she has reliable teammates on the same boat, and they are united in their stance on the issue of who to keep the foolish subordinate.
Before Mei and Seele arrived, she planned to continue observing.
The moment Rita and her bumbling subordinate engage in behavior that goes beyond friendship, she immediately rushes over and subdues them.
A fleeting light shone through the small villa. Rita smiled calmly, but this level of hostility was not enough to drive her away from Mr. Xia Yuan. So she naturally squatted down and began to observe Mr. Xia Yuan's planting results.
"Mr. Xia Yuan, are you helping Lady Theresa plant bitter gourd seeds?"
He nodded.
She paused, then examined the seed carefully. "However, it seems that you placed the seed too shallowly, Mr. Xia Yuan, so it can't take root deep enough to absorb nutrients from the soil."
Just like her, staying in the Destiny Palace, she had no way to deepen her relationship with Mr. Xia Yuan.
Whenever she thought about using hypnosis on Mr. Xia Yuan, the experiences of being alone with him on the spaceship and in the headquarters of Destiny would come vividly to mind. This made her feel guilty, but also excited in an indescribable way. The guilt made Rita want to stay by his side and accompany him as a maid for the rest of her life.
"Is that so?"
He was a little embarrassed, as a farmer, but he lacked planting experience.
“It’s alright. Everyone has things they’re not good at. When you encounter problems you can’t solve, I’m here with you now. Please rely on Rita a lot, Mr. Xia Yuan.” Her voice was gentle and full of understanding as she naturally pulled Xia Yuan into her arms.
This scene infuriated Bronya so much that she almost crushed the Heavy Bunny, which had transformed into a telescope. "Stupid subordinate, I'll make sure you can't get out of bed tomorrow!" she vowed silently.
Xia Yuan did not sense any resentment from his superior.
His gaze was now fixed on Rita's abdomen, where her maid dress was stretched into a rather rounded shape. He hadn't noticed it before because the maid dress itself was quite loose.
But at this moment, Rita squatted down next to him, and because of the line of sight and angle, she was particularly conspicuous in Xia Yuan's eyes. In some ways, Rita's size was even larger than Bronya's and Mei's.
"Rita, you......"
His eyes widened, and for a moment he forgot to look away. Could it be that Rita was pregnant too? But how come he didn't know who the father of the child was, and when this had happened?
Rita noticed Xia Yuan's gaze, and a hazy blush flashed across her face.
“Ah, I didn’t expect you to have noticed, Mr. Xia Yuan. Actually, Rita’s appetite has been very good these days, and she has gained a lot of weight without realizing it. That’s why she specially asked Lady Theresa for a ten-month leave.” She tried to cover it up with a light tone.
A ten-month-long vacation? Is it really not maternity leave?
He had serious doubts about Rita's words, but unfortunately had no evidence.
Xia Yuan snapped out of his daze, realizing that it would be impolite to keep staring. "Oh, is that so? Kelita, why are you only chubby in the belly?" In the end, he couldn't resist his curiosity.
She gently pressed her hand against her increasingly hot cheeks.
"Perhaps this is a unique talent of Rita's? Mr. Xia Yuan, you can touch it and see if it is just as Rita said."
Can I really touch him?
Xia Yuan hesitated. If Rita really was pregnant, then she wouldn't need to hide it. But if he didn't touch her, he wouldn't be able to verify his suspicions.
Rita noticed his hesitation and gently placed his hand on her maid dress. "Mr. Xia Yuan, can you feel anything?" The two little lives inside her seemed to be responding to their father's call, responding actively to him.
He could clearly feel two small bulges on Rita's lower abdomen, as if they were greeting him.
Xia Yuan gasped.
This isn't just overeating! Who kicks their own belly after overeating? The child's father probably isn't him, right? Aside from spending time with Rita in the bakery on the ship, that was only when he was making sandwiches for little Ellie...
Chapter 760 Rita, Stop!
Wait a minute, Xia Yuan suddenly remembered that he only had a few minutes' memory of the baking room.
But his memories after that became blurry no matter how hard he tried to recall them. In the end, he only remembered the moment Rita handed him the sandwich. Judging from the Red Kite Clock hanging in the bakery, he had been stuck in a memory blank for almost an hour.
During that hour, Rita may very well have done something to herself.
To verify his hypothesis, he asked, "Rita, do you remember how long we stayed in the spaceship's baking room?"
"Of course I remember. You personally guided Rita in making the sandwich. I think it only took about five minutes with your help, right?" Mr. Xia Yuan seemed to have noticed something...
"Was it really only about five minutes? But I clearly remember that the clock showed more than an hour had passed."
Just kidding, he's not that short.
"Of course, Mr. Xia Yuan, I think that must just be your imagination, right?"
Just as Xia Yuan was about to press for an answer, Rita narrowed her eyes, revealing a rather dangerous look. He felt that if he continued to press her, the maid in front of him might do something beyond his expectations.
"Yes...yes, maybe I really did remember wrong."
Rita hadn't expected her two unborn children to respond so positively to Mr. Xia Yuan. As a mother herself, she naturally felt the emotions more deeply than he did. When Mr. Xia Yuan stroked her belly, she experienced an indescribable sense of happiness that made her feel incredibly comfortable.
After little Rita was born, in order to give her child a better childhood, she was already considering resigning from her job at Tianming and staying by Mr. Xia Yuan's side.
Not far away.
Durandal, following the bishop's orders, arrived at the farm with a strange feeling, carrying the doctor's invention to accelerate plant growth.
Since parting ways with Mr. Xia Yuan, she had vaguely felt that she had gained a lot of weight. No matter how much she exercised, she could not get back to her previous weight, which troubled Yulandel greatly.
A father who doesn't do his job properly, an adjutant on a long leave, a sister who is far away on the moon, and a bishop who is obsessed with bitter melon.
She has worked so hard for this family.
In addition, there was the constant, subtle influence of her cheapskate father. Even though he was still on the run from the clutches of fate, he still had time to send her messages, all of which were nonsense about how things were going with Mr. Xia Yuan and how she would never be able to get married if she didn't marry him soon.
[Dad, you should just come and turn yourself in at Tianming.]
Perhaps even Durandal herself didn't realize that she actually wanted someone she could rely on and confide in. The image of Mr. Xia Yuan subconsciously came to mind, and she took this opportunity to see how he had been doing lately.
She quickened her pace.
But when Durandal saw her adjutant having an unusually intimate relationship with Mr. Xia Yuan in the field, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she dropped the small watering can at her feet, letting the liquid inside water the bitter gourd seeds under the soil.
"Wasn't Rita on vacation? Why is she with Mr. Xia Yuan, and behaving so intimately?"
Durandal had many questions in her mind.
Although it was inappropriate to disturb the two of them, this time she decided to stick to her bottom line and not back down like she had the last two times. It would not only be a collapse of her beliefs, but also a betrayal of Mr. Xia Yuan.
"Rita, stop now. I can't let you continue like this."
The shouts from not far away caught their attention. Rita and Xia Yuan stood up together. "Lady Durandal, what do you mean by this?" When she gracefully lifted the hem of her maid's skirt to greet Durandal, she could no longer hide her prominently protruding belly.
She also noticed her adjutant's small belly, a sight that made Durandal's feelings even more complicated.
It was her indulgence of Rita's behavior that led to the current situation. Durandal took a deep breath and did not answer her adjutant's question. Instead, she looked at Xia Yuan beside him and said with a sincere look, "Mr. Xia Yuan, please come to my side."
In her eyes, Mr. Xia Yuan seemed to have been kidnapped by his adjutant.
She had failed in her duty as captain, but Rita quickly grabbed Xia Yuan's arm, stopping him from going over there, and at the same time expressed her apology to her captain.
"I'm sorry, Lady Durandal, I cannot let Mr. Xia Yuan pass by."
It's very likely that Lady Durandal has already guessed something, but she has no intention of backing down on the matter of Mr. Xia Yuan.
The atmosphere between the two gradually became tense.
Durandal wanted to tell Mr. Xia Yuan about her adjutant's hypnosis of him; she felt obligated to do so.
But she couldn't bring herself to say it. If she didn't speak up now, Mr. Xia Yuan would still find out the truth in a few months. What would become of her adjutant then?
"Stop? Durandal wants Rita to stop?"
Xia Yuan was somewhat puzzled. He could understand Ya Ya and Mei sometimes bickering and teasing each other, but given Durandal and Rita's lifelong relationship, it was impossible for the two to have any conflicts.
"Calm down, you two. Don't argue. We're all family. How about we go inside the villa for a cup of tea and talk things over?"
He was prepared to act as a peacemaker and resolve the conflict between the two.
Little did he know that he himself was the key factor in the conflict between the two. Durandal could no longer allow Rita to remain oblivious and continue to hypnotize Mr. Xia Yuan, and Rita naturally could not let things be exposed.
"One, a family?"
Durandal's cheeks burned. Did Mr. Xia Yuan mean for her to become family with Rita? She clenched her fists, trying to clear her head. She must have misunderstood.
"If Lady Durandal is willing to become family, Rita certainly has no objection."
How could she possibly hypnotize Mr. Xia Yuan with Rita? This had crossed her bottom line. She shook her head and refused Rita's invitation. Both of them had their own reasons for not backing down.
Neither Durandal nor Rita took any action.
But having already confirmed their respective positions, just as the situation reached a stalemate, Bronya's voice drifted softly to everyone's ears from not far away.
"Stupid subordinate, didn't I tell you to plant bitter melons? Instead, you've gotten involved in the internal affairs of their Undying Blade team. They might start fighting right away. We outsiders should stay out of it."
Chapter 761 What happened to the promise of uniting against external threats?
Bronya waved at Xia Yuan.
"You stupid subordinate, come to me and Mei's side. I'll use Heavy Bunny to make a small stool for you to sit on and watch the show."
