I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

Ever since witnessing the destruction of the Wen family and Chu Yang's ruthless killing of insects that night, Lan Yi'an was so frightened that her body temperature became abnormal the next day, and the insects started talking nonsense.

"Don't kill me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me."

After receiving a call from Ling Shengjing, Lan Ce and Ye Lanzhi rushed to the Ling residence.

With the downfall of the Wen family, the Lan family lost its only support, which made the Ling family extremely arrogant.

“Father, look, Lan Yi’an has been talking nonsense lately, and he even sits up in the middle of the night and cries with his head in his hands. The doctor has seen him and said that he was frightened.”

Ling Shengjing's tone was somewhat frivolous as he looked at Lan Yi'an, who was still trying to wake up but couldn't, with disdain and contempt in his eyes.

Ye Lanzhi knelt beside his bed with heartache, holding the woman's cold hand and constantly comforting him.

"Yi'an, don't be afraid, the female father and the male father are here. Don't be afraid, my good boy."

Tears welled up in his eyes. This was the baby he had given birth to after carrying the egg for more than five months. Seeing him like this now, his heart was bleeding.

Standing beside him, Lan Ce's fingernails dug tightly into his palms. Back then, he had advised Yi An that Ling Shengjing was not a suitable insect, but at that time, he was bewitched by this hypocritical male insect, crying and making a fuss about marrying him, and in the end, he even did the thing of getting on the train first and buying the ticket later.

Back then, because Lan Zhuo was the wife of Prince Wenrui, the Ling family treated Yi'an with some courtesy, out of respect for the Wen family. But now...

"Female father~ Male father~ I'm so scared."

Struggling to open her eyes from her dream, Lan Yi'an saw her male and female fathers guarding her bedside. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she hugged her male father's hand and cried loudly.

"Don't be afraid, my dear, we're all here for you. Don't be afraid."

“Let’s go home with Xiong’s father. We’re better off not staying in the Ling family.”

When Lan Ce saw Ling Shengjing's disgusted look, he was furious. So what if the Wen family was gone? How could he bear to watch his daughter, whom he had raised with such care, continue to live in this hypocritical place?

Upon hearing what the male ruler said, Ye Lanzhi excitedly wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve, picked Lan Yi'an up from the bed, and walked past Ling Shengjing without even glancing at him.

"Lan Yi'an, if you dare to step out of the Ling family's gate today, don't ever come back."

Ling Shengjing shouted at the insects at the door. He had been displeased with Lan Yi'an for a long time. If it weren't for Lan Yi'an's constant behind-the-scenes machinations, would he have so few female servants and slaves? So he wanted to take revenge on him now.

Ye Lanzhi, who was holding Lan Yi'an, stopped in her tracks, frowning as she waited for the insect in her arms to speak.

Having survived a brush with death, Lan Yi'an no longer cared about anything. He weakly hugged his father's neck and whispered weakly in his ear.

"Father, I want to go home."

"Okay, my good boy, don't be afraid, your female father and male father will take you home."

Lan Ce followed behind them, giving Ling Shengjing a sharp look.

Without the Wen family, Ling Shengjing showed no restraint. Even when he met Lan Ce's gaze, he remained as nonchalant as ever.

After returning to the Lan family, Lan Yi'an's health gradually recovered under the careful care of his female and male fathers.

"Yi'an, the weather is so nice today, let's go outside and soak up some sun."

Lan Yi'an nodded and followed her father-in-law to the garden in the backyard.

The sunlight was a bit too bright today, and he even shielded his eyes with his hand when he came out. The warm sunlight made him feel drowsy.

“Yi’an, look, these flowers are blooming so beautifully. When you were little, you loved to pick these flowers, which made your father very angry. He would chase you all over the house with a stick.”

Hearing her father's words, Lan Yi'an turned her head to look at the blooming flowers behind her, and thinking of herself when she was a child, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lan Ce also walked in from outside. He sighed, picked up the teacup Ye Lanzhi had used, and drank the remaining tea in large gulps.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"I just came back from planet D06 and signed a cooperation agreement with the Chu Group. I didn't expect Xiao Mufeng to be secretly suppressing them. None of these insects are good."

"Shh-"

Ye Lanzhi was so frightened that she quickly covered his mouth with her hand, signaling him not to talk nonsense, lest someone overhear them and they would be the ones to suffer.

Mentioning Xiao Mufeng, Lan Yi'an hated herself for being so stupid, for being used by him all along. If it weren't for her father's influence that day, she might have ended up like Lan Zhuo's uncle.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver, and felt a pain in the bony wings on his back.

"How is Chu Yang's female child doing?"

Lan Ce shook his head with heartache; he had already gone to see the poor female insect.

“He already had a physical disability, and he only grew up under Chu Yang’s careful care. Now his only bone wing has been removed, and the doctor says he will never be able to stand up again and will only be able to sit in a wheelchair.”

Thinking of Youyou's ashen face, he wished he could drag Lan Zhuo out and whip his corpse. How could he be so heartless to such a young cub?

"Can't we use mechanical assistance? We should be able to stand up again."

"He is too weak to withstand this surgery."

Lan Yi'an had never met Youyou, but he had heard of her. He never expected that they would treat a cub so cruelly. Thinking of his own male son, he felt sad as well.

After living in the Lan family for half a year, Ling Shengjing never contacted Lan Yi'an again, and even his male son never contacted his female father.

The following summer, Ling Shengjing finally arrived at the Lan family, but he did not come to take Lan Yi'an back.

"Lan Yi'an, considering how many years we've lived together, I've come here today specifically to deliver the divorce papers to you. Please sign them."

Ling Shengjing has already chosen his next female consort, the daughter of another councilor. Her family are confidants of the Insect King, and marrying her would elevate the Ling family to a higher level.

"Ling Shengjing, how could you be so heartless?"

Lan Yi'an's chest heaved violently. The divorce agreement not only didn't give him any assets, but also required him to compensate him for his losses of 1 billion star coins, and he wasn't even given custody of the male child.

"We've never had any feelings for each other, so what's the point of talking about being heartless? Just sign it already."

Seeing his disdainful and disgusted look, Lan Yi'an felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe. Her vision went black, and she fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, he was still in his room, with his female father and male father there as well.

"Father, I..."

“Yi’an, don’t blame us. We did this for your own good. I’ve helped you sign the divorce agreement, and your father has already paid the 10 billion star coins. From now on, you and Ling Shengjing will have nothing to do with each other.”

Looking at the loving father and mother in front of him, Lan Yi'an felt sorry for them. 10 billion star coins would probably empty the Lan family's coffers.

"It's alright, Xiongfu is still alive. It's just a mere 10 billion star coins; he can earn it back in a few days."

"Yes, thank you, male father and female father."

He knew this was not something he could earn back in a few days, and he didn't blame his stepfather for helping him sign the divorce papers. Now he just felt like the happiest kid in the world.

After resting at home for a few days, Lan Yi'an composed himself and decided to work with his father to manage the remaining assets of the Lan family and prevent the Ling family from making a fool of themselves again.
