The Marshal's Wife is Wild-Chapter 57 - 56 Tough to Deal With

With Gong Lingyu’s warning, Si Yuting didn’t have anything he needed to say to Qu Tong in person.

His task had been simply to drop her off on his way, so Si Yuting didn’t linger.

Meanwhile, Qu Tong, who was shopping with the butler for daily necessities, received a message from Si Yuting, “I have other matters to attend to and am heading back to Abel Star. If you need anything, ask Uncle Chi.”

Qu Tong: “…”

Man, what a tough nut to crack~

Qu Tong felt that trying to win over Si Yuting’s favor was like attempting to level up his spiritual power in a game.

The man was nowhere to be seen.

Should she rely on those unrealistic, blood-boiling fantasies accumulated from reading novels?

Or on the “inspirational” quotes she had scraped together from the internet?

“Madam, do we need to buy a larger coffee machine? The one we have at home is only enough for one person,” the butler inquired diligently, continuing to add appliances to the house.

“No need, His Highness has returned to Abel Star,” Qu Tong said, waving her hand dismissively.

“Ah? He’s already leaving? He’s not even staying for one night?” Butler Chi expressed his disappointment.

Sigh, all the reasons he had concocted to help His Highness and Madam build their relationship were now useless.

Qu Tong was unaware of Butler Chi’s thoughts and simply assumed he felt disappointed because Si Yuting had come and gone in such a hurry.

That evening.

Qu Tong took a comfortable bath and flopped onto the soft bed.

Being in a strange environment, she found herself unable to sleep.

She had moved into her wealthy husband’s house just like that, naturally and easily.

But compared to the Qu Family, she was more willing to adapt to this place.

Yuelan Bay, quite a pleasant name.

Qu Tong turned over and stuffed the quilt between her legs, pretending it was her long dinosaur plushie she hadn’t brought with her.

She took out her light brain and shopped online for a large goose cushion.

After paying, she realized she hadn’t transferred money to this account before, so she used the shared account again.

It wasn’t expensive anyway, and to Si Yuting, it was just a drop in the ocean. Qu Tong didn’t fret over it; spent was spent.

Her bargain husband wasn’t just wealthy; he was also very generous.

No need to worry like those internet male idols of modern times who, after breaking up a relationship, would demand the money back, even insisting on including the cost of an ordered milk tea—completely petty.

In modern times, she was adamant about not dating, because if she encountered someone like that, she’d be afraid of marriage and relationships for years.

She lay on her side on the bed, her gaze drifting outside. As her glance reached the window, it suddenly dawned on her.

No wonder she felt something was missing. Her little tomato seedling, after being watered, was habitually placed on the window sill.

The curtains were drawn when I went to bed, and I forgot about them when I left.

So I called Si Yuting for the first time.

But no one picked up.

Just as I was about to send a message, Si Yuting’s call came back.

“What is it?”

The voice of Si Yuting came through the light brain, still very cold, but inherently pleasant to listen to, clear and steady, with a slight magnetism.

“I left something on your spacecraft.”

“What is it, and where is it? I’ll send it back to you tomorrow.”

Si Yuting was currently on patrol outside and wouldn’t return to the base for a while, and the transporter would enter a dormant state after 12 o’clock since there were no staff to maintain it.

Qu Tong pondered for a moment, “It’s nothing important, just a tomato seedling I’ve been growing. You don’t need to send it back to me; I’m giving it to you. It can serve as a desktop potted plant.”

Si Yuting didn’t say anything, so Qu Tong took it as agreement.

Anyway, her space had fruits from that tomato seedling. If she wanted to eat them, she could just take some seeds and ripen them again.

Meanwhile, Si Yuting was actually wondering how he could tactfully refuse Qu Tong’s continued offerings without coming up with an appropriate way, so he temporarily shelved the thought.

When the patrol ended, Si Yuting went to the rest room anyway and found the tomato seedling Qu Tong had mentioned.

He was somewhat surprised when he pulled back the curtains and saw the plant in excellent condition.

Without tasting the fruits himself, he knew it was a very successfully cultivated energy plant and was also quite ornamental.

The soil in the flowerpot was still somewhat moist, the small branches formed a pretty shape like rounded mushroom caps, adorned with red, yellow, and green, plump and cute little fruits.

Si Yuting took the flowerpot back to his workspace and placed it beside a glass jar.

The next day, I continued to sleep until I woke up naturally. It was only when I opened my eyes and saw unfamiliar decorations in the room that I realized I had changed locations.

After washing up and going downstairs, I saw Butler Chi instructing the maid on how to serve me properly.

From the butler’s words, Qu Tong vaguely understood that there were no maids in the estate originally, but they had been specially hired knowing that she would be returning to stay.

As soon as the maid turned around, she saw Qu Tong on the stairs and bowed respectfully, “Good morning, madam.”

Butler Chi also came over to greet her, “You’re up, madam, would you like breakfast? The kitchen has freshly bought energy vegetables and purified meat. I can ask Qianqian to prepare them.”

Butler Chi’s attitude was very good, showing no sign that he thought there was any problem with Qu Tong waking up late. On the contrary, he felt that a young lady like her should rest well.

Which is unlike him, who can’t sleep even if he wants to.

“No need to trouble you, I’ll just have some nutrient solution.”

Qu Tong politely declined with her words, but in her heart, she didn’t really enjoy those meals with impure tastes.

“Alright, madam, you can have the ones we’ve prepared,” said the butler, bringing out a tray filled with colorful test tubes for Qu Tong to choose from.

They contained various flavors of nutrient solution, all of them high-grade, worth upwards of 1000 Star Coins.

Qu Tong’s mouth twitched at the butler’s enthusiasm, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

Eventually, Qu Tong spotted a cherry-flavored nutrient solution and chose it.

She wondered if the taste of cherries in the interstellar space had changed.

Many plant seeds in interstellar space are not easily purchasable.

Even if they exist in nature, most are polluted and not edible, or taste strange. Seeds that haven’t undergone genetic intervention won’t sell even if listed online, so Qu Tong couldn’t find these seeds in the Star Web Store.

She wondered if Xu An would be able to bring some back during her internship.

Seeing that Qu Tong liked the cherry-flavored nutrient solution, the butler immediately called a male servant to order two large boxes back.

Qu Tong: “…” That’s really not necessary.
