Chapter 286: Damn It

Jiang Wangyue was not an unreasonable person, so Tashia pulled her over and coaxed her into submission.

Several huge pitch-black warships were slowly approaching the docking port, and the two men's attention was immediately drawn to them.

The Fifth Legion returned before the Fourth Legion. Catherine refused the welcome ceremony, but her expression softened the moment she saw her daughter.

She nodded slightly to her daughter who came to greet her, then turned to look at Jiang Wangyue and said with a smile: "I've brought someone back for you."

Jiang Wangyue was stunned. Before she could ask, a male orc in black combat uniform walked out slowly from behind Catherine.

He raised his hand and took off the tactical helmet covering his head, revealing long white hair and a face familiar to Jiang Wangyue.

It's Ethan.

Catherine hooked her daughter's shoulder and walked to the other side, briefly giving time and space to Jiang Wangyue and Ethan.

Looking at the person he thought about day and night, Ethan felt his heart beating so hard that it seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.

He subconsciously took a step forward, knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Wangyue, and asked again -

"Excuse me, would you take me in, Master?"

Jiang Wangyue grabbed his arm and gave her answer without hesitation.

"Come home with me."

Feng Yan and Su Hui didn't expect that their female mistress would bring back someone just two weeks after she left.

Looking at Ethan following Jiang Wangyue closely, both of them narrowed their eyes.

Feng Yan crossed his arms and said with a forced smile, "Madam, it seems our home is not an animal shelter, right?"

Jiang Wangyue paused and touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "It's indeed not, but the problem is..."

She likes it.

After Feng Yan understood Jiang Wangyue's eyes, he immediately rolled his eyes at her.

Damn it.

"But it seems there is no room left at home." Su Hui said quietly.

"Why don't you add more on my level..."

Jiang Wangyue wanted to suggest adding a room on the floor where she lived, but before she could finish her words, Feng Yan rushed over and covered her mouth.

There was a clear message in Feng Yan's eyes: Don't even think about it!

Ethan, who had been silent the whole time, lowered his eyes. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said calmly, "Or, you can help me find another place to live."

Jiang Wangyue grabbed Feng Yan's wrist and pulled him aside, then turned around and frowned at Ethan.

Ethan's brows showed no sign of difficulty, and he said softly, "I don't want you to be embarrassed because of me."

Hearing his words, Feng Yan's eyes suddenly became stern.

I didn't expect that he would have rivals in the field of tea art.

What a good move of retreating to advance!

Feng Yan sneered in his heart, but his expression seemed to have eased a little.

"Madam," Feng Yan deliberately emphasized the word, paused, and then continued with a smile, "I have a high-rise apartment in the center of District 3, which is perfect for this Imperial Admiral to temporarily stay in."

When Ethan heard Feng Yan mention the words "Imperial General", his eyes couldn't help but darken.

"Speaking of which, I still don't know in what capacity Admiral Ethan came to the Federation this time?"

Facing Su Hui's inquiry, Ethan remained expressionless and replied calmly, "Private identity."

What a private identity!

The coldness in Feng Yan's eyes deepened.

Jiang Wangyue suddenly turned sideways, separating the two from each other's sight.

She signaled Feng Yan and Su Hui with her eyes to restrain themselves.

"That's it, let Ethan stay first, and we can deal with other things later."

Feng Yan put on the formulaic smile he most often used in the business world, "Okay, Lady and Admiral Ethan, follow me."

The high-rise apartment in the third district is in an excellent location, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows can clearly take in the scenery of the entire third district.

Jiang Wangyue couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".

"Such a nice house, why are you hiding it?"

A big question mark popped up on Feng Yan and the others' heads.

What female would like this kind of commercial residence?

Jiang Wangyue: Me.

In her previous life, she dreamed of buying a large flat like this, where she could do nothing but move a recliner to the floor-to-ceiling window to watch the sunrise and sunset every day.

The decoration inside the apartment is very simple, with a bed and a sofa, nothing else.

Jiang Wangyue turned to look at Ethan, who smiled lightly, indicating that this was enough for him.

"Then you should have a good rest first. If you have any questions, please contact me immediately."

"good."

Watching her leave, Ethan let out a sigh.

Before he could sit down, the terminal rang at the right time, and a new deposit reminder surprised him.

The communication that lit up immediately afterwards made Ethan's eyes look helpless again.

He picked up the phone, but before he could speak, a familiar loud voice echoed in the empty living room.

"Boss! The brothers have collected this dowry for you. If it's not enough, tell them again!"

"……Thanks."

"Boss, please don't be polite with us brothers. If you marry someone from the Federation and get bullied, we won't be able to help you..."

As the person on the other end of the line spoke, his voice became a little choked with sobs.

Ethan closed his eyes and interrupted him without waiting for the other party to say anything else.

"If you have nothing to do, go to the front lines and trade places with those guys. Don't be here... going crazy."

After a brief silence, a burst of laughter came from the communication line, shocking Ethan so much that he had to take several steps back.

Listening to their laughter, Ethan's tense nerves slowly relaxed.

Another calmer voice sounded, "Boss, if you're unhappy in the Federation, tell us and we'll bring you back."

Ethan leaned against the cold wall behind him and did not respond.

From the moment he made up his mind to leave the Empire and come to the Federation to stand by her side, he did not leave himself any way out.

Perhaps sensing something from Ethan's silence, the laughter on the other end of the communication gradually died down.

"Boss..."

"I probably won't go back."

If there ever comes a day when she dislikes him, he will choose to end his life.

After all, if it weren't for Jiang Wangyue, he would have died on the day his mental strength completely collapsed.

Jiang Wangyue, who had already returned to the manor, suddenly sneezed.

Who is cursing her behind her back?

Feng Yan walked beside him and chuckled softly.

Jiang Wangyue thought that the snake would say something sarcastic to her, but unexpectedly, it said nothing and just walked past her into the entrance hall.

Instead, Su Hui crossed his arms and asked without any context, "Do you really like it?"

Jiang Wangyue blinked, and after a moment nodded seriously.

"I really like it."

"oh."

Su Hui's calm reaction made Jiang Wangyue a little uneasy, "I..."

As soon as she spoke, Feng Yan reappeared at the door with a sour face.

"Hey! You two, are you coming in yet?"

Jiang Wangyue swallowed the unfinished words and responded loudly: "Coming!"
