Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

Of course not, not even close. Xue Cheng saw what Montana was thinking, crossed his arms, and pouted secretly with the air of a seasoned veteran.

"Well, it's lunchtime so soon." Mutsu walked over with a smile. She looked at Montana, who was relying on Nagato's support to stand steadily, and said with a chuckle, "I win this time, Nana-chan."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Montana raised her chin stubbornly and looked at Mutsu, but after just a second, she lowered her eyelids and said in a muffled tone: "Well, you really win this time."

"Hehe..." Mutsu crossed his arms, a smug look on his face.

Although Foxy's methods are not decent, it has to be said that they are really effective when applied to the right place. Even the more powerful Montana is no match for her.

Nagato supported Montana, confused.

After lunch, Xue Cheng made up an excuse to leave Changmen's house and went to the office while there were few passers-by at this time.

When I opened the door, the huge office was quiet, the doors and windows were closed, and the air was a little chilly, as if the air conditioner had just stopped working. There were several disposable paper cups on the table, with half-drunk water in them.

There were several documents casually thrown on the spacious desk. Xue Cheng flipped through them casually. They had all been reviewed and, without exception, Lexington's name was written at the end.

Lexington is not here. Maybe he went to the cafeteria to eat?

Xue Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, he decided to lock the door first before returning to his desk. He pushed the chair in front of him away, reached out to the second drawer on the left, and gently pulled it.

No pull.

Xue Cheng raised his eyebrows. He had the impression that this drawer didn't have a lock.

He shook his head, took a bunch of keys from his pocket, opened the lock, and pulled again.

This time, when it was opened, the drawer in front of Xue Cheng was empty. There was nothing inside except some dust.

"How could this be? I clearly put it here." Xue Cheng said to himself.

"Admiral, are you looking for this?" A soft voice came. Xue Cheng turned his head and saw a girl with long flaxen hair leaning against the door frame in the direction of the lounge. She was holding a small black box in her hand and looking at him with a smile.

"That's it!" Xue Cheng slapped his thigh. The box contained the Ring of Promise that he had not used up. He had tried his best to get it back from Lexington and put it in the drawer of his desk.

Seeing the girl handing the box in his direction, Xue Cheng was about to go over to take it, but suddenly he froze, sweat dripping down his forehead: "Lexington? Didn't you go to dinner?"

The girl covered her mouth and yawned slightly, then she brushed her slightly messy hair and chuckled:

"I just finished processing a backlog of documents and felt very sleepy, so I went inside to take a nap. I almost missed lunch. Come to think of it, I have to thank the Admiral."

Xue Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed dryly: "You're welcome."

Lexington shrugged, handed the small box to Xue Cheng again, and said, "Isn't this what the Admiral is looking for? Here, here you go."

Xue Cheng's face was full of embarrassment.

"Really?" Lexington sighed. Seeing Xue Cheng still standing there, he said simply, "If the Admiral doesn't come, then I'll go over there."

Xue Cheng slowly retreated, and Lexington pressed forward step by step.

The space behind the desk was very small. After taking a few steps back, Xue Cheng felt a hard touch and a faint smell of ink on his back.

It's the bookcase. A thought emerged in Xue Cheng's mind, although he knew that what he should think about at this time was how to deal with Lexington.

"I heard that the admiral just got married yesterday?"

Lexington tilted his head, smiling broadly. "Very impressive, worthy of being my admiral. Even the deep-sea shipgirls can't get out of your palm. But this time, admiral, who do you want to give the ring to?"

Xue Cheng looked at Lexington who was so close to him and wanted to deny it, but for some reason he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

"Yes...Nagato." Xue Cheng lowered his head, feeling very insecure, as if he had been caught cheating by his wife.

"Nagato..." Lexington pondered and said thoughtfully:

"Come to think of it, Nagato is the department's leader and flagship, and she and Akagi have been diligently helping the Admiral manage the department for so long, yet they don't even have a ring. It's really a bit outrageous, considering even Mutsu has one."

"Are you belittling Mutsu by saying that?" Xue Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he realized Lexington didn't seem to be accusing him. He joked, "Mutsu is also a very powerful battleship."

"I don't deny Mutsu's strength." Lexington's nostrils twitched slightly, his eyes narrowed. "However, it seems Mutsu's abilities aren't limited to fighting."

"What do you mean?" Xue Cheng looked confused.

Lexington sighed, "Admiral, you still lack experience. Let me teach you."

The girl coughed lightly and said seriously, "If I were the admiral, I would take a shower and change clothes before coming here."

Xue Cheng's face changed and he quickly grabbed the clothes and put them under his nose to sniff. Sure enough, there was the smell of perfume.

"Of course, this isn't enough." Lexington pointed to the left side of Xue Cheng's neck and continued, "You should also put a Band-Aid here to cover it up."

“…” Xue Cheng grabbed the mirror on the desk and looked at it. A light purple mark appeared there.

"How did Lexington know it was Mutsu?" Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Xue Cheng stopped being stubborn and asked with a wry smile.

Lexington gently weighed the small box in his hand and winked at Xue Cheng playfully: "Because the perfume that the admiral got on his body was given to Mutsu by me."

Xue Cheng wanted to bang his head against the wall. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?!

As if Xue Cheng's reaction wasn't intense enough, Lexington continued, "But besides Mutsu, who is the other person?"

How did you guess that? Oh, right, I wanted to give the ring to Nagato.

Xue Chengqiang calmed himself down and said, "It's Changmen."

Lexington closed one eye and said with some dissatisfaction: "The Admiral is lying."

"Okay." After being seen through again, Xue Cheng reluctantly admitted: "It's... Montana."

"Montana?" Lexington's eyes suddenly widened, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

"Lexington doesn't know?" Xue Cheng also looked at her in surprise. A light bulb went off in his head and he shouted, "You, you're lying to me?"

Lexington moved his lips and whispered, "I just wanted to test it, but...why would it be Montana?"

The last sentence is full of doubt and curiosity.

Facing Lexington's gaze, Xue Cheng shook his head, avoiding the girl's gaze, and said, "What's so strange? Montana is also my wedding ship."

"That being said, Admiral, you also know it, right? That Montana..." Lexington said meaningfully.

"I don't know." Xue Cheng looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling.

"You dishonest admiral need to be punished." Lexington leaned over and drew circles on Xue Cheng's chest with his index finger.

"Punishment? Are you sure it's not a reward?" Xue Cheng chuckled and simply held Lexington's hand, squeezing it lightly in his palm.

Lexington smiled slightly, "Okay, but I want ten times. Can you do that, Admiral?"

This time, Xue Cheng did not change color, but raised his chin proudly and boasted:

"Don't forget, I'm not the same person I used to be. Ten times, right? It doesn't seem that difficult."

"Really?" Lexington smiled and casually put the jewelry box back into his pocket.

After doing this, Lexington said, "How about this, let's make a new bet? As long as the Admiral can do it ten times, all those oath rings will be returned to the Admiral. No matter who you want to give them to in the future, I won't ask anymore, okay?"

Xue Cheng's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together, "Really? Lexington must keep his word this time!"

Although Mutsu is a foxy girl, she is still a girl after all. Even if she has rich theoretical knowledge, she is inevitably restricted. What happened in the afternoon did not really affect her state.

"Don't worry, the last time it happened was because the Admiral cheated me first, and then took advantage of me..." Lexington's face flushed. "Anyway, I'll definitely keep my word this time."

"Okay, let's get started." Xue Cheng patted his chest confidently. Today was the day to avenge his previous shame. This time, the person who signed the letter of confession would definitely not be him.

232. A sudden confession

The afternoon sun shone through the curtains onto the ground. The only sounds in the small lounge were the slight sound of the air conditioner and two slightly rapid breaths.

Why is it like this? I have a stronger body and stronger recovery ability, but why can't I do it?

Xue Cheng looked at the girl beside him who buried her face in the pillow, and moved his body little by little to the outside of the bed.

Closer and closer, as Xue Cheng came to the bedside with his shoes about to touch the ground, two smooth and shiny arms reached out from the left and right and hugged his waist.

"Lexington?" Xue Cheng froze, and his expression looked like he was about to cry.

The gentle call of "Admiral" Lexington sounded like a death knell to him, and Xue Cheng broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Trying to calm himself, Xue Cheng said dryly, "Lexington? Anything else?"

A soft and warm touch came from behind, slightly damp with sweat. Lexington put his chin on Xue Cheng's shoulder, and his slightly thin chin made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The girl blew air into his ear playfully and said, "No, it's not over yet, Admiral, you haven't done it ten times yet."

Xue Cheng shuddered, forced a smile, and said, "Let's stop here today. It's already afternoon, and you still have work to do."

"But..." Lexington blinked. She knew the Admiral couldn't see her expression at the moment, so she didn't hide the playful smile on her lips. She said mischievously, "Didn't the Admiral just say that he wanted me to sign a letter of confession?"

"No, I didn't say that." Xue Cheng denied it decisively.

A slight sting came from his shoulder, and Xue Cheng grimaced. After a few seconds, Lexington opened his mouth, revealing the clear tooth mark, and said, "How can the admiral go back on his word?"

Xue Cheng was speechless and simply acted like a rogue: "Anyway, I didn't say it, and I definitely can't do it ten times or something."

Lexington blew gently on the tooth mark and said with a smile, "So, the Admiral wants to cheat?"

Xue Cheng suddenly became alert. "What are you going to do? I'm warning you not to act rashly, or I'll call for help! Even in Lexington, there are people who are not good at dealing with them, right?"

"Men who don't keep their words are the worst." Lexington complained softly.

"Sorry, I can't do it." Xue Cheng spread his hands, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

The girl pursed her lips, patted Xue Cheng's shoulder lightly, and left his back.

"Okay, no more jokes." Lexington got out of bed, went to the cabinet by the window, took out a bath towel and wrapped himself in it.

She brushed away her sweat-soaked hair that was stuck to her forehead, tilted her head and looked at Xue Cheng: "Admiral, do you want to take a shower?"

"Okay." Xue Cheng did not refuse. Even though there was air conditioning in the room, he still sweated a lot. At this time, he had to say that the office not only had a lounge, but also a bathroom. It was really convenient.

Xue Cheng stood up and saw Lexington walking towards the bathroom. His eyes turned and fell on the clothes hanging on the chair next to him. One of the pockets of a white navy uniform was open, and a black jewelry box could be vaguely seen inside.

Xue Cheng didn't hesitate and reached out quickly.

"Admiral." Lexington's voice came, and Xue Cheng's movements suddenly froze. He slowly raised his head and saw the girl standing at the bathroom door looking at him with a smile.

"I..." Xue Cheng grabbed his hair, not knowing how to explain.

"Really? Admiral, why are you so anxious?" Lexington rolled his eyes at him and said helplessly, "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you."
