Chapter 33: A Cute and Charming YeYe!

Chapter 33: It's the Cute and Charming YeYe!

"During the time I was away, has there been anything unusual on the planet?" Shen Yu started to handle matters.

Gu Yuankai organized the documents that needed to be dealt with: "Nothing major, but there have been a few strange occurrences."

"What strange occurrences?"

"This time, when you announced leave due to discomfort during the rut period, the Emperor's people all came to check on you, but we turned them away. Also, the Empress actually took the initiative to apologize to the Prince Consort, intending to smooth things over between them."

Generally, during the rut leave, unless there is something truly serious, people wouldn't bother coming to visit.

Gu Yuankai could roughly guess that the Emperor's move was to verify whether Shen Yu was actually on the planet or not, but he couldn't guess the reason behind the Empress's action.

Hadn't he always disliked Bai Ruoshui? Why would he take the initiative to apologize?

Shen Yu's eyes flickered. "Is there anything else?"

"No more. Oh, wait, next month is the Emperor's birthday banquet. He ordered invitations sent to all planetary emperors."

"How many emperors will come?"

"They all agreed, but it's not out of respect for him, but for you."

Gu Yuankai wasn't lying. If it had been back when Shen Yu hadn't yet made a name for himself, no one would have cared about the current Emperor.

Shen Yu didn't comment on this matter and asked Gu Yuankai to have Bai Yuanzhou come over.

Before long, Bai Yuanzhou entered and fist-bumped him. "You're really something. You actually managed to invite that Stinky Old Man over. Just now outside, he put me down again. If it weren't for Ruo Shui being there, I would have beaten him until he lost all his teeth."

"It has nothing to do with me. It's all thanks to YeYe."

Bai Yuanzhou laughed. "Chubby little dog? He's still eating in the cafeteria right now. He eats so much. Do you think he's a little pig with long hair?"

Shen Yu shot him a look. "He's just having a few bites. Why do you have so much to say?"

Bai Yuanzhou: ?

"That's 'a little'? Since he came back, the kitchen staff have nearly worn through the woks."

After a few jokes, the two got down to business.

"The Emperor's about to make his move." Shen Yu said directly.

Bai Yuanzhou wiped the smile off his face. "I know. I really wish I could kill him right now."

But he couldn't do that. Killing one emperor wouldn't do any good; he had to force him to show all his cards first. Otherwise, it would always be a lingering threat.

"Will you let Bai Ruoshui stay?"

"No. As it happens, his brother is coming, and I'll ask his brother to take him away." At this, Bai Yuanzhou's face looked more troubled. He didn't want to be separated from Bai Ruoshui either, but Bai Ruoshui's safety came before everything.

Shen Yu let out a relieved breath, his expression relaxing.

Bai Yuanzhou misunderstood his meaning. "What's with that look? Do you think I'll be so blinded by lust that I can't keep my hands off my wife every day?"

Shen Yu didn't mean that; it was that he also didn't want Bai Yeye to stay either. If Bai Ruoshui left, Bai Yeye would probably leave as well. Though he was a bit reluctant, it had to be this way for Bai Yeye's safety.

However, General Shen would never admit his inner thoughts. He nodded seriously at Bai Yuanzhou. "And you're not that kind of person?"

Bai Yuanzhou shouted angrily, "Come out and fight me, one on one!"

Their usual routine was to discuss business for five minutes and then spar for half an hour.

After dark, Bai Yeye waddled out of the cafeteria with a round belly. On his way out, he remembered to leave a positive review in the suggestion box by the door.

"Plenty of food today. Keep it up."

Kitchen staff: If you want to kill me, just say so.

"Brother Ye, thanks for your hard work." Gu Yuankai walked over to him.

Bai Yeye let out a burp. "It was a bit hard. My mouth is sore from all that eating."

"...I meant you had a rough time going to see Wu Shao." Him eating meant the kitchen staff were the ones who worked hard.

"Oh, that. It was okay, not that hard."

"Also, you saved me last time, and I haven't thanked you yet."

Bai Yeye waved his paw. "Can you stop being so formal with me? I'm still young. It's nothing, don't worry about it."

Gu Yuankai scratched his head. "Are you free these days? I want to treat you to a meal."

It was his first time meeting his dog savior, and he didn't know how to thank Bai Yeye other than treating him to a meal.

Bai Yeye thought for a moment. "Alright, let's go."

"Now?"

"Yeah."

"Didn't you just eat your fill?"

"I'm afraid that if I go when I'm not full, I'll eat so much you'll have to stay as a dishwasher to pay the debt." What a considerate little YeYe!

Gu Yuankai didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Other dogs are full after a few bites, but Bai Yeye can still eat a few more even when full.

He took Bai Yeye to a high-end restaurant and ordered three portions of everything on the menu. Then he asked, "Enough?"

Bai Yeye waved his hand grandly. "It's enough for an after-dinner snack."

Gu Yuankai couldn't help but say, "Your previous owner must have been loaded, huh?"

"How did you know?" His two dads must have been rich.

"Otherwise, how could they afford to keep you?" Just feeding Bai Yeye alone must cost a fortune every day.

Bai Yeye snorted. "You're at least a Deputy General. Are you really that broke?"

"Not really, but I still need to save up for a wedding fund, so I'm usually frugal. You'd be better off living with the General; he doesn't save for a wedding fund and has money to feed you."

Bai Yeye pricked up his little ears. "What do you mean he doesn't save for a wedding fund? Doesn't he plan to get married?"

Gu Yuankai started gossiping. "Not exactly, but he really isn't interested in omegas. Look, he doesn't even like an omega as beautiful as the Prince Consort. What kind of omega would he like?"

"That's not necessarily true. Different strokes for different folks."

"But none of us have ever seen him find someone he loves. Before, we would get him drunk and try to pry it out of him what type of omega he likes."

"Did you find out?" Bai Yeye jumped up excitedly, not even noticing that he had knocked over his water glass.

Gu Yuankai shook his head helplessly: "He stood up and recited a military order to us, and said nothing else!"

"Then... could it be that he likes alphas?" Bai Yeye was a bit worried. His father said that strong people prefer to stick with strong people; what if Shen Yu thinks omegas are too weak?

"That's not it either. I once suspected that he might be the...

Crown Prince, but every time they fought, he fought like he wanted to kill him. If he really had a crush, he wouldn't be so ruthless. Besides, the base is full of alphas, and I've never seen him treat any of them specially."

Bai Yeye breathed a sigh of relief and asked casually, "Then do you think he might like someone like me? I mean, an omega of my type."

"There's probably no omega who can eat as much as you, right?"

"Bah! I'm the lively, kind, adorable, and charming Yeye!"

Gu Yuankai took it as a joke and laughed heartily: "Unlikely. The general probably likes someone mature and steady. Your type only gets the 'heavy' part of 'steady'."

"..." Bai Yeye almost had a heart attack. He was going to make Gu Yuankai pay dearly!

"Boss, bring out another three rounds of everything you've got! If I'm still not full, I'll order another three rounds later."

Gu Yuankai couldn't laugh anymore, because he heard the sound of his wallet cracking open—his wife fund!
