The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 318 - 317: I Think I Can Do It

Chapter 318: Chapter 317: I Think I Can Do It

As if trying to make up for the past two months.

Their breaths intertwined in a fiery blaze.

Si Yuting kissed so hard and for so long that Qu Tong’s back began to ache from being pressed against something, and she let out a soft moan while withdrawing a hand to push at Si Yuting’s shoulder.

Si Yuting loosened his hold, half turning his body to sit on the wooden shelf of the open wardrobe, drawing her into his embrace.

At a half head shorter than him, Si Yuting was in just the right position to scatter gentle yet restrained kisses across her neck and collarbone.

Even after they parted, Si Yuting’s heartbeat was erratic.

Si Yuting lifted Qu Tong’s left hand and kissed her index finger, his deep voice carrying a bewitching tone, "Ali, would it be alright to cancel the application?"

Qu Tong licked her slightly numb lips, gazing at Si Yuting for quite some time.

Then she reached out and placed her hand on the side of Si Yuting’s neck, leaning closer, "Si Yuting, if you dare to casually mention divorce again, I really won’t be able to stop myself from strangling you."

Si Yuting folded her into his arms, burying his head in her hair, his voice laced with apology, "It won’t ever happen again."

[Unless you wish to leave yourself.] Si Yuting added mentally.

The divorce application, pending for 15 days, was cancelled.

Si Yuting watched as the message popped up on the Light Brain, finally feeling grounded, and couldn’t resist kissing her again.

But Qu Tong blocked him with her hand, "Tired."

Si Yuting didn’t insist further, asking softly, "There are six hours left, how about some sleep?"

Qu Tong nodded, exiting Si Yuting’s embrace to walk to the only bed in the room, pulling up the covers to lie down.

"Your Highness, are you busy? If not, keep me company for a while."

Qu Tong looked towards Si Yuting at the edge of the bed, blinking and stretching her hand out for a pillow to hug.

Si Yuting looked down at the sight of the delicate girl, his eyes shadowed with subdued desire, "Not now."

"Alright then."

Qu Tong sheepishly withdrew her hand, with an ’I understand’ expression.

Si Yuting darkened in facial expression, his tongue pressing against his teeth.

However, after a second thought, not only had she accepted his infertility, but she also accepted his impotence.

Really!

It made him want to cherish her all the more!

Si Yuting laid on the outside of the bed, reaching over the covers to pull her into his arms, his voice husky, "When we return to Abel Star, can I ask Jiang Zhou to give you a thorough physical examination?"

"No!" Qu Tong refused without a second thought, her stance firm.

"The devices on Abel Star, I have the authority to prevent them from connecting to the database," Si Yuting explained.

"What?" Qu Tong, whose eyes were nearly drooping shut, suddenly opened them wide, staring at Si Yuting in astonishment, "You... know?"

Qu Tong’s heart immediately soared, tense and anxious like a criminal awaiting judgement.

Yet, Si Yuting’s gaze was exceptionally tender, his fingers softly stroking her hair one by one.

Comforted by Si Yuting’s demeanor, Qu Tong calmed down, "It’s not because of this that you wanted a divorce, is it?"

Si Yuting did not deny it.

"Jiang Zhou’s last medical report on you showed a genetic defect that might be treatable. Let’s give it a try," Si Yuting said seriously as he looked at her.

Qu Tong pursed her lips, but ultimately decided to trust Si Yuting.

"Okay."

He already knew many of her secrets, and hadn’t delved deeper or exposed them; instead, he was always considering her welfare.

She had never personally experienced feelings or marriage before.

The enviable love depicted in TV dramas must also be about mutual trust, right?

Si Yuting breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Qu Tong’s response.

Si Yuting tightened the covers, whispering close to Qu Tong’s ear, "So it’s not that I can’t, I’m afraid you can’t."

Moreover, there was another reason: he felt that she was young, fickle in heart, and her affection for him was too superficial, possibly just a passing fancy, afraid that she might regret it later.

But he gradually dismissed that concern.

Suddenly thinking of something, Qu Tong’s face turned a light shade of red.

But...

"I think I can handle it, this should be different."

Si Yuting: "..."

"Ali, stop teasing me." Si Yuting restrained the little girl’s restless hands with a tone full of helplessness.

"What if I don’t?" Qu Tong kicked the quilt away and hooked Si Yuting’s leg with her foot, slowly moving upward.

Si Yuting tensed his whole body.

In the end, Qu Tong swiftly twisted the quilt off the bed, and Si Yuting was scared away by her.

Qu Tong lay on the bed, holding her stomach and laughing nonstop. When she had laughed enough, she crawled to the foot of the bed to pick up the quilt.

Just as Si Yuting closed the door, he turned around only to meet with a dozen pairs of bright, piercing eyes.

Cheng Feng opened his mouth slightly, a very surprised look on his face, "Boss, you’re done so soon?"

That was a bit quick, wasn’t it? It hadn’t even been half an hour.

Isn’t the boss SSS-rank in physique?

He had even issued a strict command to the others, forbidding them from disturbing him and his sister-in-law today unless the warship was about to explode.

The other dozen soldiers also had an expression as if they’d seen a ghost.

How could Si Yuting not tell what they were thinking, he swept them with a cold glance, "Go back to what you were doing."

Everyone: Let’s slip away, the Grand Marshal is angered and embarrassed.

Si Yuting’s already cold face turned even colder, dark and cold.

Suppressing the joy in his heart at the misfortune of others, Cheng Feng stepped forward, patting Si Yuting on the shoulder with a serious and sympathetic tone, "Boss! Don’t be sad, it’s the first time, it’s normal to be a bit too excited."

Si Yuting’s sharp gaze rolled over Cheng Feng’s hand.

Cheng Feng quickly withdrew his hand as if one second later he would have to say goodbye to this arm.

"When Wen You returns, you’ll be in charge of clearing out the Star Thieves in the Beisha Meteorite Belt."

The icy voice fell, and Si Yuting headed straight into the cockpit.

Cheng Feng’s smile gradually solidified.

He slapped his own face.

That’s what you get for being nosy!

Cheng Feng looked at the tightly closed door to the room.

No, this won’t do!

He had to find a chance to plead with his sister-in-law.

The boss had already won his beauty.

That flake Wen You had been avoiding him for 76 days and 18 hours already.

He hadn’t even had the chance to demand she take responsibility; was that necessary?

Qu Tong ultimately didn’t fall asleep because the Empress Dowager found out about her cancellation request at the first opportunity.

She even waited for half an hour before sending a message.

Qu Tong made a direct call.

The Empress’s gentle and kind voice came over, "Tongtong, have you returned?"

Qu Tong sat up with the quilt and switched the call to video.

"Mm, I’m on His Highness’s warship. I’ll come to see you later."

Qu Tong was as gentle and understanding as ever in her dealings with the Empress, her smile sweet.

"There’s no rush, no rush. Spend some time with Yuting when you have time. Didn’t your father give you a pass? But there has been activity from the Insect Clan near Abel Star recently. Remember to have Yuting arrange protection for you. Stay in the base and don’t run around, understand?"

The Empress was genuinely happy for the two of them. It was rare for her son to come to his senses and learn to pamper his wife, and she fully supported them.

"Yes, I know."

The Empress did not inquire about the details between the two, but enthusiastically helped Qu Tong plan, "Tongtong, now that you and Yuting have reconciled, do you think we should help you make an official announcement?"

Qu Tong was also aware that rumors about them had never ceased online. Si Yuting and she were, after all, public figures, an official announcement was indeed necessary, but the timing wasn’t right now.

"Let’s wait a bit on that. His Highness has to deal with the Insect Clan matters first."
