Chapter 35: Chapter 035: Extradition Fortress Chapter 35: Chapter 035: Extradition Fortress “Major General.”
Ding Xuan was so startled that she trembled and stood up respectfully.
Lin Fu couldn’t help but find it strange. How did Ding Xuan manage to assume the identity of the Duchess when she was so afraid of Fu Xing? She probably didn’t even have the courage to take the initiative to seduce him, did she?
“I’ve already arranged a spaceship, which will take you to the space fortress commanded by the Admiral shortly, and you shall not return henceforth.”
Everyone present remained silent, merely stealing glances at Lin Fu in the dim light.
It was evident to all who the Major General’s actions were truly for.
The smile on Lin Fu’s face slowly faded away.
“Major General…” Overcome by shock, Ding Xuan couldn’t withstand such a heavy blow and pleaded, “No, I beg of you, Duke, I don’t want to go to the fortress, I don’t want to leave Capital Star. I’m begging you, I won’t dare anymore, I promise, I swear…”
As the adopted daughter of the Duke’s family, she grew up pampered and privileged. The bustling Capital Star was where she was meant to settle. Without Capital Star, without the Fu Family, she would be nothing, transforming from a high-and-mighty noble lady to an ordinary civilian.
Ding Xuan couldn’t imagine living the life of a civilian, let alone relocating to the Border Fortress, where war was constant, and conditions were exceedingly dire.
Ding Xuan’s incoherent pleadings didn’t sway Fu Xing; he didn’t even show a flicker of emotion.
“You are my uncle’s adopted daughter, and he is stationed at the fortress all year round. Your cousin is also there; it’s not appropriate to leave you alone on Capital Star.”
Ding Xuan intended to say more, but when she locked eyes with Fu Xing, her words abruptly ceased.
Finally, with a resentful glare at Lin Fu, Ding Xuan followed the soldiers escorting her away.
Fu Xing’s brows furrowed slightly, his fingers, distinct in their knuckles, rhythmically tapping on the tabletop, silently making a decision.
After returning to her private residence from the main house, Lin Fu began to prepare the clothes, living essentials, and various books she would need for her enrollment in school the following day. Once enrolled, she would reside in the dormitory, with the opportunity to come home only during holidays and festivals.
Mr. Major General, overwhelmed with countless duties, found himself engulfed by a sea of military affairs upon his return.
Fortunately, after the night’s training session, Lin Fu had already grown accustomed to this and, having finished her own tasks and taken a bath, went to bed early for some beauty sleep.
Late at night, Lin Fu awoke inexplicably. She found herself alone in bed and upon leaving the room and searching around, she eventually located him in the Gravity Room of the western training building.
The door to the Gravity Room was tightly sealed, but through the transparent glass, Fu Xing could be seen wearing a casual pair of black pants, and a white shirt.
At the moment, the top three buttons of his shirt were undone, and his shirt was almost translucent due to the sweat.
The perfect muscle definition, collarbone, abdominals, broad shoulders, and a waist that could make women scream were now only separated by a sheer layer of fabric, inadvertently forcing their way into Lin Fu’s sight, into her heart.
It felt as if Lin Fu’s heart had been fiercely struck, and it took her a long while to recover.
She shouldn’t have come here.
Waking up in the middle of the night, foolishly wandering around.
Curiosity drove her to the display screen, and her eyes widened, instantly banishing any drowsiness.
“Four and a half times gravity, for an hour?”
Having lived in this world for some time, she had pretty much grasped the common knowledge she should possess. A normal person, after training, can bear no more than two times gravity, and those with tenacious spirits are considered remarkable if they can endure twenty minutes under two times gravity.
