The Marshal's Wife is Wild-Chapter 74 - 73 Dont You Think The Boss Is Acting Strange

She’d make it up to them when it was convenient.

Elsewhere, after completing their physical training, the four gathered again.

Suddenly, a “ding-dong~” notification sounded, and Xiong Lie cheered, “The delivery’s here!”

He was then quickly urged by the other three to collect the package.

Xiong Lie received the delivery and discovered his sister-in-law had actually prepared four portions, which moved him immensely.

Damn it! Those three unlucky guys got lucky.

Xiong Lie was happily walking back when he bumped into Si Yuting.

“Boss,” Xiong Lie greeted cheerfully.

Yuting, seeing the familiar transparent containers in Xiong Lie’s hand, instructed softly, “Leave them in my room first.”

Xiong Lie: “Huh?”

However, Si Yuting had already entered Jiang Zhou’s medical room.

Xiong Lie felt wronged, wondering if the boss was upset because they had adjusted their training times to watch his sister-in-law’s live stream.

But they had made up for it later, not skimping on the training duration at all.

Just when he had finally snagged some good food, the boss wouldn’t allow them to eat it.

In the end, Xiong Lie could only deliver the containers to Si Yuting’s room with an expression of tragic bravery.

Seeing Xiong Lie return empty-handed, Cheng Feng and the others couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s your corn?”

“The boss took it,” Xiong Lie said, hanging his head and tracing circles on the ground.

He had previously thought about eating it in front of them and making them envious.

The three others immediately perked up, gloating, “We told you, hogging the food is not good, karma hits back, huh? Boss is awesome.”

Xiong Lie lifted his eyes to glance at them and cracked a smile, “My sister-in-law prepared four portions, they’re all in the boss’s room now.”

The three’s expressions changed immediately:

“Ah! Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

“Our sister-in-law is really so thoughtful.”

“The boss is too domineering, even controlling what we do during our breaks, too…” Wen You’s gaze shifted away, and he stopped speaking abruptly mid-sentence.

On his way out of Jiang Zhou’s medical room, Si Yuting passed by the four men, who all stood at attention as he returned to his room.

Once Si Yuting entered the room, the four heads came together again.

Wu Yue: “Is the boss jealous because our sister-in-law sent us food in secret, so he deliberately took it away?”

Cheng Feng: “Possibly.”

Xiong Lie, looking aggrieved: “But it was the reward I won fair and square.”

They had barely started talking when Si Yuting came out again.

His gaze settled on the four men, causing Wen You and the others to instinctively straighten their backs.

Si Yuting slightly furrowed his brows as he scanned over the four men, his voice indifferent, “Where is the note inside?”

“What note?”

The four exchanged glances, all seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

What was their boss talking about?

Si Yuting paused, realizing something.

His eyes deepening, his right hand gently brushed the light brain at his wrist, and he strode back to his room with his long legs clad in military trousers.

Soon after, Xiong Lie received a message: “Come in, take the stuff, top of the cabinet by the door.”

Xiong Lie entered the room, taking a careful look at Si Yuting, who was focused and cold at his desk, picked up the food box by the door, and even asked, “Boss, do you want a corn? It’s an energy plant grown by my sister-in-law.”

“No need.” Si Yuting’s voice was cold.

“Oh, alright then.” Xiong Lie hugged the food box and quickly closed the door behind him.

Si Yuting’s gaze lingered by the door for a while before returning to the smart brain in front of him.

In the base hall, Xiong Lie was absentmindedly distributing corn to the other three men and said, “Do any of you feel the boss is acting strange?”

“What’s strange about him? You think the boss is being too kind today for not scolding you?” Cheng Feng took a bite of the corn and said, “This corn is really tasty.”

“Have you noticed that the food sister-in-law brings is quite different?” Wu Yue suddenly spoke.

“Seems like it. I’ve eaten energy fruits and purified meat and vegetables before, but somehow what sister-in-law makes is especially suited to my taste.” After pondering, Cheng Feng also nodded.

“Exactly, I feel the same way.” Xiong Lie was pulled back to the present and stopped overthinking, eagerly peeling and eating the corn.

Only Wen You ate while pondering on his own.

While they were discussing, Jiang Zhou just happened to come out carrying a flower pot in one hand and what looked like a thermometer in the other.

Hearing their conversation, he walked over and pointed the detector at the corn in Xiong Lie’s hand, emitting a “beep.”

He looked at the values and wasn’t surprised; the purification value was 100%, just like the cherry tomatoes in his hand. How could it not be tasty?

“Jiang Zhou, what is that you are holding?” Xiong Lie curiously stared at the potted plant in Jiang Zhou’s hand.

“Oh, this? This is a potted plant sister-in-law gave to the marshal. She asked me to help look for a suitable growth liquid,” Jiang Zhou said, weighing the small flower pot in his hand with a resigned tone.

He’s a doctor, not a cultivator, and yet he’s always being given extra work.

“So, this can be eaten too.” Xiong Lie’s eyes gleamed.

“Isn’t this just like the cherry tomatoes we had last time?” Cheng Feng gave Xiong Lie a scornful look.

“Of course I know that.” Xiong Lie glared back, “Red ones are edible, green ones probably not, but what about this yellow one?”

“Stop thinking about useless stuff. It’s something Tongtong gave to the boss, why don’t you eat one and see?” Wen You slapped Xiong Lie on the head.

Xiong Lie pursed his lips.

Jiang Zhou didn’t talk much with them. He placed the flower pot on the table, squatting beside it: “Finders keepers.”

“There’s only enough boiled corn for four, you get two skewers of grilled corn kernels.” Xiong Lie wasn’t stingy, sharing two of his five skewers.

“I’ll also give you two skewers.”

Everyone gave Jiang Zhou two skewers, and they squatted by the vines, relishing their meal.

Only Xiong Lie ate while pondering if the boss would be upset for being left out of the tasty food.

But that bit of guilt was quickly suppressed by the sweet flavor of the grilled corn kernels.

In fact, Qu Tong had thought about Si Yuting.

She still had a score to settle with him for the way he had abandoned her on Y58 Star.

But she had a good habit, “I reflect on myself thrice a day: I did no wrong!”

She’d get back at him when she had the time and had fully recovered.

But Qu Tong was Qu Tong, and Jun Li was Jun Li; she should keep these two identities separate.

There just happened to be so much food today, only enough for three, so maybe next time.

She had only recently given him some cherry tomatoes; too frequent gifts might make him arrogant.
