After asking Si Chen for leave, the two went downstairs together, eating and chatting.

Dinner consisted of small snacks. Since there was nutrient solution available in the interstellar space, it didn't matter how much or how little we ate.

Qu Tong hugged her milk tea, nibbling on the pink and tender peach and the popping sound.

Si Yuting took a bite of the crystal bun and found it exceptionally sweet and fragrant.

He, usually a man of few words, unexpectedly asked a lot of questions, including but not limited to: How old is the baby? When did you first notice? Are there any pregnancy symptoms? Are there any particular foods you crave?

Qu Tong patiently explained and answered each question.

"Does anyone else know about this?" Si Yuting asked, recalling his experience in the Casa Empire.

“Rong Yueqing knows, but she promised to keep it a secret for me.” After thinking for a moment, she added, “Saipu also knows, but I don’t know how he found out.”

"Research shows that the Zerg's sense of smell is far superior to that of humans, and Cypu is one of the first Zerg with the strength to compete for the Zerg leader, so he may be able to detect more special scents," Si Yuting analyzed reasonably.

Qu Tong remembered that Sai Pu said he smelled good, so she raised her hand and smelled it again, but still couldn't tell what it was.

She then stretched out her hand in front of Si Yuting and asked, "Do I smell nice?"

"Yes." Si Yuting nodded affirmatively; he had smelled it before, and more than once.

Qu Tong, skeptical, leaned closer to the shoulder and sniffed hard, then looked up in confusion, "I can't smell anything."

“Yes, there is some, but it’s very faint.” Si Yuting paused, his gaze towards Qu Tong becoming deep. “It can be a little stronger at times. You can pay attention next time; you might be able to smell it.”

Qu Tong was completely stunned. What kind of principle was this?!

Qu Tong expressed her complete incomprehension.

As for Si Yuting's coded message, she was no longer the naive girl she once was, and she understood it instantly.

"Oh, right, Cypu gave me something." Qu Tong cleverly changed the subject, taking out the crystal from her spatial storage. "Cypu said it's the essence stone of the female insect, which is good for the baby. Take a look."

Si Yuting smiled faintly, took it, frowned and looked at it for a long time, then shook his head, "When we get back, we can ask the Academy of Military Sciences to take a look."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Qu Tong told Si Yuting to keep it for now.

After the meal, Si Yuting asked Qu Tong to go upstairs and prepare, while he washed the dishes.

Qu Tong called out to him, "There are housekeeping robots."

She knew herself too well, so even though she wasn't well-off at the time, she gritted her teeth and bought the most expensive one with the most features.

So that I can be lazy.

Si Yuting refused, saying, "No need, I need to do something to calm down."

Huh?

Qu Tong glanced at Si Yuting in surprise.

The impact was too great; have they not recovered yet?

However, this calm approach is quite unique and deserves encouragement.

Qu Tong followed him and went upstairs.

As night deepened, the all-black fighter jet carried the two of them to Abel.

Qu Tong went straight to the cubicle to sleep. She felt more at ease letting Si Yuting fly the aircraft than she did herself.

To make it easier for Qu Tong to sleep more soundly, Si Yuting deliberately slowed down the speed considerably. Anyway, Luo Yi Star wasn't very far from Abel Star, and the night was still long, so there was no rush.

After being apart for many days, the two returned to Abel.

Under Jiang Zhou's remote guidance, Si Yuting underwent a comprehensive physical examination.

Qu Tong also had it done at the same time. Although it couldn't detect the condition of the fetus, in Si Yuting's words, the mother's health was also very important.

Si Yuting has used his authority to cut off all signals that can be automatically transmitted to the outside world.

Looking at Si Yuting's series of complex operations, Qu Tong felt that the rapid development of technology was not all good, especially for her, it was extremely unfriendly.

"Just wait, the results should be out in half a day." Jiang Zhou said, then hung up the call.

Qu Tong looked at Si Yuting in confusion, "Didn't the tester give me results instantly last time?"

Si Yuting was used to it. "Our instrument is a bit different from the simplified version on the market. It detects many values, and the results are all output at once, so it takes a little longer."

Qu Tong nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

As soon as he returned to Si Yuting's office, he encountered Xiong Lie waiting at the door.

Xiong Lie first greeted Qu Tong excitedly, then turned to Si Yuting with a look full of accusation, "Boss, you guys are too cruel. You left me alone on Abel Star for so long. I want to go back to the capital star too."

Si Yuting thought for a moment with a calm gaze, "Okay, have Cheng Feng switch with you."

Xiong Lie was momentarily stunned. Why was his boss being so agreeable this time?

Questioning glances turned to Qu Tong beside him. It must be because his sister-in-law was there that the boss wanted to set a good example of not mistreating his subordinates.

That must be it!

"Thanks, boss! Long live sister-in-law!" Xiong Lie shouted and quickly rolled away.

He then happily tagged Chengfeng in the group chat: "[The boss said we can switch places; it's my turn to live a carefree and happy life in the capital.]"

Chengfeng replied instantly: [Did the boss really say that?]

You stupid Zergling, take this punch! [Otherwise, you've enjoyed yourself for so long, it's my turn now.]

When the winds of change rise: [Okay! Then come back early tomorrow.]

The next second, Chengfeng posted another message: [Isn't the boss on Abel Star? Why don't you leave now?]

Wu Yue, who had seemingly risen from the dead, posted a meme of a Shiba Inu sitting on a swing and rocking back and forth.

As Xiong Lie looked at the cold words, his thick eyebrows furrowed, sensing that Cheng Feng seemed a little anxious.

Add to that Wu Yue's meme-worthy, gossipy expression, and alarm bells went off in Xiong Lie's mind.

Given Cheng Feng's cunning nature, how could he possibly compromise so easily? He didn't even curse at him.

Something unusual must be going on!

There must be a trap here; he can't fall for it again.

So Xiong Lie tentatively replied: "I suddenly remembered I still have some tasks to finish. I'm a responsible person, so let's switch later."

When the storm brews: [It's alright, it's alright, I'll come back and finish it for you.]

Upon seeing this reply, Xiong Lie became even more certain of his guess.

Idiot Zerg, take this punch: [No, no, I'll do it myself. I suddenly think being on Abel is pretty good.]

Cheng Feng panicked: "This is disobeying orders from above!"

Idiot Zerg, take this punch: [The boss agreed, but didn't say now.]

May: [For once, you've finally shown some intelligence.]

When the winds of change rise: [Damn!]

Sending one wasn't enough, so Chengfeng sent several more in a row.

Looking at Cheng Feng's exasperated state, Xiong Lie applauded his own wise decision.

No wonder his sister-in-law looked at him with such a complicated expression; it turns out everything was foreshadowed.

In less than ten minutes, Xiong Lie scurried back to Si Yuting to apologize.

Qu Tong wasn't surprised to see Xiong Lie at all; what surprised her was that Si Yuting was unusually easy to talk to today.

Si Yuting took the opportunity to handle some urgent official business, and Qu Tong followed Xiong Lie out of the office.

Xiong Lie smiled憨厚ly at Qu Tong: "Sister-in-law, thank you for speaking well of me. I will never forget your kindness!"

Qu Tong shrugged: "I didn't say anything."

Xiong Lie was taken aback when he heard this, then said ingratiatingly, "That means it's thanks to your wife that the eldest brother is in a good mood when he sees his wife."

In the past, he would have had to train until tomorrow morning.

However, even extra training until tomorrow morning is better than being tricked by Chengfeng.

Qu Tong smiled; Si Yuting was indeed in a good mood. (End of Chapter)
