Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 224 Did Xiaoyu make you cry?

Just as Qin Mengtong was about to fall into the sea after stepping off the gangway, Jing Weimian stepped forward in time and pulled her back to the cabin door.

"Miss Qin, be careful."

"I, I'm fine..." Qin Mengtong almost hugged her arm, her eyes wide as she carefully examined Jing Weimian. "General, how about you? Are you alright?"

Jing Weimian nodded to indicate that she was alright.

I heard someone approaching from behind, their footsteps heavy on the floating ice.

Jing Weimian didn't even turn her head, and stepped onto the cabin door.

"General..."

Qin Mengtong was stunned for a few seconds, and then she saw Prince Bo Si following closely behind her. She felt that something was not quite right.

She closed the hatch again and heard Prince Perth give orders to his subordinates in the white corridor, and then instructed the AI ​​on the adjacent spaceship to pilot it back to the main battleship's separation pod.

After hanging up the phone, Prince Bo Si walked to the cockpit, where Jing Weimian was checking the specific star chart route.

Qin Mengtong peeked out of the cockpit door for a while and saw that General Jing was focused on the positions of the stars on the screen, while His Highness Platinum was standing behind him, doing something unknown.

Qin Mengtong couldn't resist and took the initiative to go in, breaking the deadlock.

"General, aren't I smart? I knew that the locator you gave me would be useful, so I went to find His Highness as soon as I found out."

As Jing Weimian noted down the specific star markers connecting the galaxies, she nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, it's fortunate that Miss Qin discovered it in time."

Perth lowered his eyes and gazed at her face, then said, "Would you like to come with me to the treatment chamber to check your physical condition first?"

Jing Weimian remained oblivious to him, her gaze passing over Qin Mengtong behind him as she asked:

"Miss Qin, may I borrow your wristband communicator for a moment?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Perth, who was standing in front of her, took off the communicator on his wrist and handed it directly to her.

However, Jing Weimian didn't even glance at the bracelet in his hand; her gaze remained calmly fixed on Qin Mengtong.

Qin Mengtong also noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere and was momentarily stunned.

He quickly realized what was happening, removed the wristband communicator from his wrist, unlocked the access lock, and presented it with both hands.

"General, here you go!"

"Thank you."

Jing Weimian took the wristband communicator, nodded to her, and said, "I'll return it to you after I finish my call."

After saying that, he dialed a communication number and walked out of the cockpit.

From beginning to end, Jing Weimian's eyes never lingered on Bo Si for even a moment.

It was as if I had never known this person at all.

She stopped at the end of the white corridor.

He leaned slightly against the side of the cabin wall, looking down at his own body.

After a short wait, the call was finally connected.

Perhaps because they were in a star system outside the Alliance Empire, her mother's voice came through slightly distorted, carrying a polite yet distant tone.
"Hello, are you Miss Qin?"

Jing Weimian: "Mother, it's me."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

The Marshal's wife's dignified and elegant tone vanished instantly, revealing her true, extremely worried nature:
"Mianmian? Mianmian, where are you now? Are you alright? You didn't come back last night. I asked your deputy general Chen Yan and the others, but they all stammered and couldn't speak clearly. Your father and I are so worried. We haven't dared to tell Xiaoyu yet..."

Jing Weimian gently reassured her, "I'm fine, don't worry, I'm already on my way back."

As she spoke, Jing Weimian paused, then couldn't help but ask again.

"Where's the baby?" the Marshal's wife sighed.

“Xiaoyu is very sensible. He's probably afraid that your father and I will worry, so he's always well-behaved in front of us. But when I went to pick him up from his room this morning to go downstairs for breakfast, I saw that both of Xiaoyu's eyes were red and swollen. He must have been thinking about you and crying secretly for a long time last night…”

Jing Weimian frowned, feeling heartbroken just hearing her mother say that:

"Mom, now show the bracelet to the baby. I want to say a few words to the baby myself."

"Okay, Mianmian, wait for me a moment."

Jing Weimian didn't have to wait long before she heard a few seconds of shaking and noise on the other end of the bracelet, followed by a distinctly soft, babyish breathing sound coming close to the phone.

Just by hearing Jing Xiaoyu's breathing, Jing Weimian could almost imagine what was happening...

Right now, the little mermaid baby on the other end of the phone must be pouting and sulking.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be holding the phone but refusing to call out to me.

In front of her baby, Jing Weimian showed none of the coldness and rationality she had displayed moments before. She cautiously opened the video call invitation:
"Baby, can I see how you are?"

The baby mermaid's voice on the phone was both tender and cold: "No good."

Jing Weimian admits her mistakes:
"I'm sorry, baby. I didn't keep my promise. I didn't come back to you in time. It's all my fault. But... please don't not let Mommy see you, okay?"

A few seconds after Jing Weimian finished speaking.

Her video call invitation was accepted.

On the invisible light screen, Jing Xiaoyu's delicate, fair-skinned, and pretty face appeared.

Jing Weimian immediately noticed the cub's eyes, which were clearly red from crying.

"Baby, I'm sorry I made you feel bad... I promise you, I'll come back to you as soon as you wake up tomorrow, okay?"

Jing Xiaoyu's facade of coolness lasted less than half a minute before crumbling completely. His lips twitched slightly in a pitiful expression, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Really? Will Mom really come back tomorrow?"

Jing Weimian nodded vigorously: "Really."

Jing Xiaoyu sniffed her reddened nose, her voice slightly choked.

"Actually, I know that Mom is very busy with work. Even if she is too busy to come back and see the baby, it's okay."

"But, but even if Mom is busy, she still has to call home and tell you... I can't get through to Xiaoyu on the phone. Do you know how worried Xiaoyu is about you?"

Jing Weimian's eyes reddened as she listened. She didn't explain that her bracelet had already been destroyed by Bosen, but simply obediently promised her baby:
"Mom will remember this, and I won't make the same mistake again next time."

"Baby, please forgive Mommy this time."

Jing Xiaoyu touched the screen with her small hand, as if she were touching her cheek and eyes.

The little one clearly saw Jing Weimian's red-rimmed eyes, and his face immediately showed regret. He anxiously tried to wipe away her tears through the screen:

"Mom, don't cry. Did Xiaoyu make you cry?"

"No, Mom just misses the baby."

Jing Weimian caught a glimpse of the approaching main warship through the porthole, quickly composed herself, and began to soothe the little mermaid baby on the screen again:

"Okay, baby, Mommy has other things to do. I'll talk to you again when we get back tomorrow, okay?"

"Awesome..."

Jing Weimian reluctantly hung up the phone with Xiaoyuzai and turned off the bracelet's communication.

He was just about to turn back from the corridor to return the bracelet to Qin Mengtong.

Turning around, I bumped into someone who had been standing behind me for who knows how long.

Jing Weimian ignored him and walked past him.

However, after taking only two steps forward, her icy hand was suddenly gripped.

Jing Weimian glared at her coldly, "Let go."
