Chapter 365: Chapter 364 The Reason the Highness Doesn’t Return Home

Sometimes, she really doubted Wen You’s sexual orientation.

"Don’t doubt it, Sister just likes you." Wen You stroked Qu Tong’s delicate little face.

"Come on, Sister will take you upstairs for a candle-lit dinner."

Wen You pulled Qu Tong past the dumbfounded Cheng Feng and headed upstairs, without so much as a glance at them.

As the elevator doors closed, Qu Tong disdainfully removed Wen You’s hand, "Talk normally, didn’t you see Cheng Feng’s face has gone black?"

"What’s that got to do with me?" Wen You snorted coldly.

Fine, it’s got nothing to do with you.

"How come you’re even considering marriage proposals?"

"That was introduced by my aunt. My aunt isn’t married, and after my mom passed away, I lived with my aunt and grandmother, so I just went through the motions." Wen You explained indifferently.

The elevator doors opened, and Wen You led Qu Tong to a private dining room.

The signature dish of this restaurant is king crab, and Wen You waved her hand and had a variety of their specials served up one after another.

"Although the dishes here aren’t as high in Purification Value as yours, they are expensive, so don’t waste it later," Wen You said, clutching her chest in an exaggerated heartbroken manner.

Qu Tong nodded along; she had just looked at the menu, and the five-digit prices were indeed quite expensive.

But she was more curious about something else, "What’s going on between the two of you now?"

Wen You leaned back and spoke in a very casual tone, "What else? It’s the same as before."

With Wen You’s attitude, Qu Tong was a little uncertain, "Pretend as if nothing happened?"

"Not exactly," Wen You shook her head, "He complained that I was too cold towards him, told me to be more casual and treat him like before."

So that was what she meant.

"Weren’t you angry just now?"

"Angry about what? That’s my uncle’s friend’s daughter, who is preparing to take the entrance exam for the First Military Academy next semester, and came to familiarize with the environment." Wen You seemed indifferent, "If she likes this style, it saves me the trouble of being responsible."

Qu Tong wasn’t sure if Wen You really didn’t care, or if she was just saying that to cover up her annoyance.

If it’s the former, Cheng Feng is really in trouble.

"Sir..."

Sounds came from outside the door, and soon the waitstaff were pushing carts in, distracting Qu Tong from thinking about their complex relationship.

The waitstaff started presenting the dishes:

"First dish: King crab shell steamed egg."

"Second dish: Baked king crab with red pepper."

"Third dish: Steamed king crab with yellow pepper sauce."

"Fourth dish: Crab meat California roll."

"Char-grilled crab legs."

"Crab leg sashimi."

"Boiling king crab."

"Typhoon shelter king crab."

"Crab roe tofu hotpot."

In total, nine dishes, each exquisite. Even just looking at them was enough to whet the appetite, never mind the taste.

It was Wen You’s first time here as well, and it turned out to be a solid recommendation from that unreliable friend of hers last time.

With so many dishes, wasting food was inevitable.

The quality was also quite good, with no contamination evident in the meat.

"This restaurant has its own fishing ground, and the water quality on some of the Ocean Stars is good, so even without Purification Liquid, the seafood quality is quite decent," Wen You relayed to Qu Tong what her friend had told her.

"I hear their sashimi is very famous, but it won’t be available until half a month from now. I’ve pre-ordered some and will send some your way when it’s ready."

Actually, Qu Tong wanted to say she wasn’t quite used to raw food, as she hadn’t touched the crab leg sashimi on the table.

But Wen You didn’t give her a chance to refuse.

The dinner left both of them a bit overstuffed. After walking around outside to digest their meal, Wen You followed Qu Tong back to Capital Star.

"Are you sure you don’t want to invite Cheng Feng? After all, you two came back together." Qu Tong always felt that Cheng Feng was quite pitiable.

"He’s not a child, I’ll just send him a message," Wen You said, opening her eyes and turning on her Light Brain. She typed a few words perfunctorily and then continued to sleep.

Shaking her head, Qu Tong indicated that she didn’t understand.

When Qu Tong returned to Capital Star, it was already six o’clock in the morning.

On the way, Wen You mentioned that she planned to buy a house on Capital Star. Wen You was a woman of action, so as soon as they got off the aircraft, she headed straight for the real estate agency.

Qu Tong made a trip back to Yuelan Bay.

Butler Chi probably had just woken up and was stretching on the balcony.

He broke into a smile when he saw Qu Tong, "Good morning, madam!"

"Good morning, Uncle Chi! Where’s His Highness?"

Qu Tong guessed that Si Yuting would probably be in the gravity room at this hour.

But Butler Chi said, "His Highness is probably still at Zhongyuan Company."

"Zhongyuan?" Qu Tong remembered that Zhongyuan Company wasn’t on Capital Star. "Didn’t His Highness come back last night either?"

"The Planetary Shield of the company underwent a technical upgrade recently. His Highness went to check on the program," Butler Chi answered, then looked at Qu Tong, "Madam, you should come back and stay more often. Without you at home, His Highness seldom comes back either."

Butler Chi might as well have outright said that without his soft and fragrant wife at home, His Highness could hardly be bothered to return.

"Alright, I got it," Qu Tong replied thoughtfully.

Si Yuting was always so busy, no wonder he would inquire about her whereabouts, probably to make time to come back and accompany her.

Qu Tong turned on her Light Brain and sent Si Yuting a message, "Hubby, good morning." Receiving no reply, she went upstairs.

After taking a shower and changing, she checked her Light Brain again and found a message from Si Yuting at the top of her account: "You didn’t rest last night, did you? I asked Jiang Zhou to prepare an Elixir to relieve fatigue for you. It should have some effect. I’ll have Xuan Ping pick it up from the military hospital later."

Huh?

He was indeed the hardworking and dedicated Grand Marshal.

Other people’s husbands would be like, "Baby, were you exhausted last night? Don’t go to class today, just rest at home. I’ve asked for leave for you."

Only her His Highness worried that she might fall asleep during class.

Qu Tong pressed the voice reply button, "Thank you, kisses hubby."

Si Yuting seemed not to detect the sarcastic tone in Qu Tong’s voice, "Hmm, I’ll come pick you up after your classes in the afternoon."

Qu Tong sent back a pleasantly surprised emoticon and then left for school.

Qu Tong had Pharmaceutical classes in the morning and went to the Mecha Department for Mecha classes in the afternoon.

Jiang Zhou truly lived up to his reputation as an outstanding graduate of the Pharmaceutical Department and a top-notch medical school doctor, the invigorating tea he prepared for her was extremely effective and she was still feeling super energized.

Qu Tong casually pulled out a book from her Space Button and sat down in the shade of a tree to read.

Instructor Han would occasionally personally oversee her practice, but most of the time he let her do her own thing.

After all, the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha hadn’t officially entered the school, and Han Song didn’t have much he could teach her.

Meanwhile, Fei Wenxing, Cheng Yao, and the others were busy dealing with the queue of students wanting to spar with them.

Ever since Qu Tong became famous in a single battle, many students wanted to challenge her Sky-roaming Prime Mecha.

This matter was taken over by Fei Wenxing and his group.

In their words, "If you want to spar with our captain, you have to beat us first. Not just anyone is worthy of our captain’s personal attention."

"Us" didn’t refer to just one of them, but included all four members, including Xu An, in a challenge by rotation.

Needless to say, if they couldn’t even get past Xu An, there was no chance of them sparring with Qu Tong.

After a class, main fighters Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao were exhausted and dripping with sweat.

Cheng Yao, his shoulders sore from depleted spiritual power, looked for a spot and was about to sit down on the ground.

Song Ke came over and stopped him, "Go sit over there; don’t stink up Sister Tong."

"Sister Tong wouldn’t dislike me," Cheng Yao said, but obediently moved farther away, even taking a moment to sniff at his shirt near his chest.

Fei Wenxing boldly sat down next to Cheng Yao and started the familiar gossip, "Did you guys hear?"

After receiving several eye rolls, Fei Wenxing cleared his throat and began to spill the beans.

"Something big happened at the Agricultural Science Institute!"
