The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 340 - 339: An Understanding Without Words

Chapter 340: Chapter 339: An Understanding Without Words

She was happy to have it on the account, but if she had to exhaust herself managing it, she would go bald.

What was the point of employing so many staff members?

It was, of course, to let the boss slack off!

After being lovey-dovey for a while, Qu Tong hugged Si Yuting around the neck, "Your Excellency, although I hate to leave you, I need to go to school."

As Qu Tong spoke, her whole body exuded the resentful aura of a worker heading to an early shift.

She had been carefree for several months, now it was her turn to suffer.

"Is it about the exams?" Si Yuting guessed easily.

Qu Tong nodded wearily, "Yes, and also, Old Man Yuan asked me to visit him this afternoon."

After several days of negotiation, a high-ranking but hands-off position was secured for Old Man Yuan, the Dean of the Alchemy Department.

He was even assigned a super large laboratory.

Right away, he was urging her to hurry over, making her light brain vibrate dozens of times in just an hour or two.

"I’ll take you," Si Yuting said as he stood up.

Qu Tong certainly wouldn’t refuse.

After Si Yuting dropped her off at school, he turned and entered the palace.

On Qu Tong’s end, not only did Old Man Yuan need her for experiments, but she also needed to focus on the midterm exams for both the Pharmaceutical Department and the Mecha Single Soldier Department.

The exams for the second year of the Mecha Single Soldier Department and the Pharmaceutical Department were staggered.

The Pharmaceutical Department went first, still having a theoretical assessment and practical examination, where the requirements were to formulate intermediate nutrient solution and low-grade energy liquid.

The Mecha Single Soldier Department’s assessment was simpler; they had to go to the Star Beast Zone for a practical battle test.

After a brief word with Si Yuting, Qu Tong ended up staying overnight at the school.

Besides rushing to the library to cram for theoretical knowledge, Qu Tong spent all day in the lab with Old Man Yuan formulating elixirs.

Her days followed a pattern of moving between just three places.

Si Yuting occasionally came to see her, but they barely spoke a few words.

Si Yuting also had things to do, apparently working with the chief of police on a major online fraud case.

A few days later, the heavy doors of the laboratory opened from inside.

Qu Tong stepped out into the corridor, stretching her arms in a lazy yawn.

From behind her in the lab, there came a few wild laughs like those of a thrilled monkey, and she vaguely heard the words "success" and "genius."

Qu Tong closed the lab door properly and went to her dorm to take a shower, leaving her dirty clothes for Amu to handle. She then drove the hover car back to Yuelan Bay.

Qu Tong didn’t tell Si Yuting in advance that she was coming home.

Butler Chi was still in the living room watching financial news. As he saw Qu Tong and started to get up, she gestured for him to stay seated.

Qu Tong went straight to Si Yuting’s room, but when she twisted the doorknob, it didn’t open.

Qu Tong knocked on the door, puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, the smart lock on Si Yuting’s room would automatically unlock when it recognized her.

Soon, Si Yuting came to open the door himself.

With the previous experience in mind, Qu Tong peeked inside, "Your Excellency, are you in a meeting?"

Si Yuting was silent for a moment, "No."

No sooner had he spoken than Qu Tong threw herself into his arms, her voice cooing, "Your Excellency, I’m so tired, I need to recharge."

Qu Tong tiptoed and kissed Si Yuting on the lips.

Si Yuting cradled Qu Tong’s buttocks, carrying her to the bed so she wouldn’t have to strain.

After a brief kiss, Qu Tong let go of Si Yuting and nestled in his arms, rubbing her neck against his like a kitten, murmuring, "Energy liquid doesn’t work, healing powers help everyone but themselves, it’s so uncomfortable."

Si Yuting gently stroked his little wife’s back, "No progress with Old Yuan?"

"No, Old Man Yuan is researching something else."

As she spoke, Qu Tong took out two elixirs from the Space Button and stuffed them into Si Yuting’s hands, playfully blinking an eye, "Here, Old Man Yuan’s research results. They really made him happy, and he’s probably still in the lab laughing."

Si Yuting looked at the two elixirs in his palm, gold like sunflowers, clear and bright.

Si Yuting looked at Qu Tong with a complex expression, "The new elixirs researched by the Potion Grandmaster, just for me?"

Qu Tong was nonchalant, lifting her chin slightly, "I concocted these, without me, Old Man Yuan couldn’t have succeeded."

Si Yuting probably understood the implication and didn’t ask what they were for, simply putting the elixirs away.

A gift from his little wife, naturally to be treasured.

"Your Excellency, have you taken care of your matters?" Qu Tong asked again.

"Just took care of it," Si Yuting answered.

Qu Tong snuggled up to Si Yuting’s forehead, her mental strand naturally slipping into Si Yuting’s Spirit Sea.

While Qu Tong waited for Old Man Yuan to analyze the experiment data, she watched the news for a while. To take down the scam group all at once, Si Yuting had spent several days lurking near their hideout.

Several days and nights without sleep, even with Si Yuting’s strong physique, he must be very tired.

After her mental strand made a round, Qu Tong withdrew it, and Si Yuting tried but couldn’t catch it.

His chest heaved, his breathing intensified, and he deeply kissed Qu Tong on the lips.

His fingers slid down her back, brushed past the hem of her clothes, finally reaching the tender skin beneath.

The tingling sensation just aroused in his heart instantly magnified, sweeping away his reason.

Yet, while his little wife responded to his kiss, her body shrank back subconsciously.

Sensing Qu Tong’s tremble, Si Yuting stopped his movement, a trace of self-reproach flashing in his eyes.

"Shall I go to your room to sleep?" Si Yuting slightly pulled away, suppressing the desire in his eyes.

Qu Tong bit her lip, uncertain of how to respond.

But the silence already gave the answer.

Si Yuting caressed Qu Tong’s cheek, his pinky resting on her jaw, exerting slight pressure to make her look into his eyes, "Rest well, don’t be stressed."

Until Si Yuting left the room, Qu Tong still hadn’t sorted out her confused emotions. She had been too busy lately, with no time to learn.

Physical exhaustion left little room for thought, and she soon fell asleep.

In the following days, both were busy with their own matters; they did return to Yuelan Bay every night, and they would make dinner and have supper together. If there was still time early in the evening, Qu Tong would also accompany Si Yuting to exercise, take strolls, or deal with work matters.

Yet, tacitly, they each slept in their own rooms.

Soon, it was nearly the end of the month.

The Alchemist Association announced that Lan Weiying had become a Senior Alchemist.

A 20-year-old Senior Alchemist, how rare.

Past negative comments seemed to disappear overnight, replaced by more flattering or discussing words.

[The Alchemist Association is really trying to produce another Potion Grandmaster!]

[Yes, the Goddess Weiying will be the youngest Potion Grandmaster.]

[Isn’t there also Old Yuan’s disciple? The title of goddess has long since changed hands.]

[Our Goddess Weiying is truly a favorite of fate! Support the Alchemist Association, support Goddess Weiying.]

[I wonder which goddess is slightly better.]

[That’s definitely Miss Jun Li. Miss Jun Li’s physique is SSS-rank.]

[Strength does not represent the talent for elixirs, otherwise wouldn’t His Excellency the God of War have become a Potion Grandmaster? Lan Family is an elixir family by tradition; I still have more faith in Goddess Weiying.]
