The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 20 Take it slow, no rush

In the early morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Qi Min got up and went downstairs, only to find that Ling Yi had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him.

"Good morning, Your Majesty," Ling Yi said gently, wearing the new loungewear Qi Min had bought for him.

Qi Min looked at the breakfast on the table, and Ling Yi smiled and spoke.

Good morning, thank you for your hard work. How is your wound healing? Are you alright?

"Much better, thank you for your concern, my lord."

"I told you you don't need to be so polite to me, I'm not used to it," Qi Min said while eating breakfast.

"Sorry, it's a habit I've developed. I'll try to change." Ling Yi pulled out a chair and sat down, starting their meal together with Qi Min.

Compared to their harmonious relationship here, things were shrouded in gloom at the Ling family villa.

………………

"Father, what's going on? Why has Ling Yi already been matched with a male insect, and a Grade A one at that?!"

Ling Huiyao was filled with shock and anger, his brows furrowed tightly. The energy stones and shares that were about to be in his hands had just vanished. How could he accept this?

"How should I know! Only I have the permissions, how could he be matched without my knowledge?" Ling Zhenhao's face was also gloomy, his hands clenched into fists, his heart filled with anger.

They had already reached an agreement with Meng Jun, and Ling Zhenhao was preparing to match Ling Yi and Meng Jun together today.

But he discovered that he was already married. How could he accept that?

"What do we do now? We've already agreed on the terms with Lord Meng Jun, and now that he's been matched up, how are we going to explain this to him?"

Ling Huiyao paced back and forth anxiously, his voice revealing deep worry.

"How can I explain this? What else can I explain! Give the things back to him and tell him I'll find him someone even better looking." Ling Zhenhao waved his hand irritably, his face extremely ugly.

"But what if His Excellency Meng Jun disagrees?" Ling Huiyao's voice trembled slightly, his heart filled with unease.

"What should I do? What should I do? All you ever ask me is 'what should I do'? Can't you figure something out yourself? What use are you to me?!"

Ling Zhenhao was furious and loudly rebuked Ling Huiyao. Ling Huiyao was so angry that he dared not speak anymore, his head hanging low, his heart filled with fear.

At this moment, Ling Zhenhao's personal computer rang, and the shrill ringtone seemed particularly abrupt in the oppressive atmosphere.

Ling Zhenhao glanced at the screen and saw it was Meng Jun calling. He took a deep breath, reluctantly answered the phone, and tried to remain calm as he chatted with Meng Jun for a while.

He kept apologizing, promising not only to return everything but also to find him a satisfactory female insect. It took a lot of effort to calm Meng Jun down.

Ling Zhenhao hung up the phone with a livid face, then immediately made another call and instructed the person on the other end: "Investigate who is the person matched with Ling Yi."

Seeing the coldness on his face, Ling Huiyao was too frightened to utter a sound.

After a while, Qi Min's information was sent to Ling Zhenhao's personal computer.

He looked at the few sentences of information on the personal terminal and found it hard to believe.

This Grade A male insect seemed to appear out of nowhere; no one knew anything about him, his background, or anything like that.

Turning to the last page of the file, Qi Min's contact information, which he had previously left at the hospital, came into view.

He sent a message to this contact number.

In a spacious and luxurious room at a club, Meng Jun learned that Ling Yi had already been matched with someone.

Moreover, when the match was a Grade A male insect, he suddenly slammed the cup in his hand to the ground.

The crisp sound of shattering echoed in the room as Meng Jun paced back and forth, each step filled with anger.

"The Ling family actually dared to play me! Ling Huiyao, you just wait. I may not be able to touch your father, but I'll certainly make sure you Ling family know the consequences of playing me, Meng Jun."

Meng Jun's teeth were grinding together, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was ready to strike at any moment.

Meng Jun summoned one of the female insects behind him and sternly ordered, "Go, investigate all the information about this Qi Min! I need to know his background, family situation, and origins."

Not a single detail can be overlooked! I want to see just what makes this guy so capable of stealing the insect I've set my sights on!

Meng Jun sat in the chair with a sinister look in his eyes, staring ahead, plotting how to take revenge.

.....................

Just after finishing breakfast, Qi Min was thinking about what he should do when he received a message.

The number was unfamiliar. It said he was Ling Yi's father, knew that he and Ling Yi were a match, and wanted to invite him to his home. It also said that Qi Min's mother wanted to meet him. The address was listed at the end.

As Qi Min looked at the message, he suddenly realized that he knew nothing about Ling Yi's family, and Ling Yi had never mentioned it.

Logically, he should have visited first, but now there's a problem: Qi Min feels that Ling Yi's relationship with his family isn't very harmonious.

Moreover, the injuries on Ling Yi's body were inflicted by his so-called younger brother.

Did Ling Yi's father know about this?

Qi Min decided to ask Ling Yi for his opinion and thoughts.

The door to Ling Yi's room on the second floor wasn't closed properly. When Qi Min found Ling Yi, he was applying medicine to himself, and the movement of his hand to the back of his head was somewhat difficult.

Qi Min knocked on the door after seeing this, went over and took the things from Ling Yi's hands, and continued to apply medicine to him, only to find that most of the wounds had already scabbed over, and some had even healed.

Qi Min was surprised by Ling Yi's recovery speed, even though Ling Yi had only suffered superficial injuries and had not been seriously injured.

But given how gruesome his appearance was back then, it shouldn't have taken four or five days for him to recover so quickly in just one or two days.

Qi Min's fingers couldn't help but touch the already healed pink flesh.

"A powerful ruler?" Ling Yi was startled by Qi Min's action, and a tingling sensation rose from his cervical spine.

"Your injury... seems to be almost healed," Qi Min said.

"Does the master think it looks bad? I'll schedule a repair surgery in a couple of days," Ling Yi said, putting on his clothes.

"What? That's not what I meant. I meant to say that your recovery speed seems to be quite fast," Qi Min explained, realizing his mistake.

"I am an S-class female insect, and my recovery ability is stronger than that of ordinary female insects," Ling Yi replied calmly.

"Really? That's great. By the way, I just received a message from your father. He invited me over for a visit."

"You said your father-in-law wanted to see me, but I didn't even know about your family situation." Qi Min changed the subject and got back to the main point.

“This was my oversight. Does the Lord intend to go?” Ling Yi asked.

"I'm fine with anything, but I'd like to hear your opinion first," Qi Min said, looking at Ling Yi.

“I am your female ruler, so naturally I will follow the male ruler’s arrangements,” Ling Yi replied with a hint of respect.

"Let me ask you a few questions first. After you answer them, I'll decide whether or not to go."

Qi Min lowered his eyes, thinking to himself, 'Take it slow, no rush.'

“May I ask, Your Majesty?” Ling Yi replied.

"Is your relationship with your family not very good?" Qi Min asked seriously.

"Why would the powerful ruler ask such a question?" Ling Yi was somewhat surprised.
