“Glorious, listen to me, I can explain…”
A white dress disappeared at the doorway, and Wang Yu's outstretched hand fell limply.
“Master, why didn’t you explain before Glorious left? Does Gascogne need to call Glorious back?”
Wang Yu’s eyes were vacant.
“No need.”
With a giggle, an uncontrollable laugh came, and Wang Yu looked up to see York already tiptoeing to the door. If she hadn't given in to a chuckle at the very end, she might have actually slipped away.
Seeing York, Wang Yu finally remembered the source of his current suffering, and a surge of unprovoked anger immediately rose within him.
If I can't deal with Glorious, I can at least deal with you!
How did you promise to behave before? Commander really doted on you for nothing!
“Come back!”
York’s tiptoeing movements froze, then she turned around, her secretly pleased expression gone, replaced by a pitiful look. Her big, watery eyes blinked at Wang Yu.
But Wang Yu wasn't falling for her act this time.
York, let Commander teach you a great lesson: the same trick used on the same person too many times will become ineffective!
“Come here, don’t even think about running.” York finally realized that her usual infallible tricks were about to fail. She reluctantly shuffled over, wearing a miserable expression.
“York,” Wang Yu clutched his chest in pain, “Has Commander ever done anything to displease you?”
York shook her head weakly.
“Was the zoo fun? Were the snacks delicious? Were the toys enjoyable?” Wang Yu asked three soul-searching questions: “Do you remember what you promised Commander that night?”
“I didn’t mean to say anything,” York said with a tear-streaked face, full of grievances, “I don’t know how Glorious sister got it all out of me…”
What could she do? She wanted to keep Commander’s secret, but she had only chatted with Glorious sister about very ordinary things, just about the happy events of the past few days, about how happy she was to be with Commander. But why, why did she let it slip in the end?
It must be that Commander is too unlucky, it’s not my fault. How does that saying go? An African Commander. Yes, Commander is too unlucky; this mishap is purely his own bad luck.
Wang Yu watched the changes in York’s expression and immediately knew what this little girl was thinking.
He asked gently, “Do you think it’s none of your business, and it’s all Commander’s own problem?”
York was about to nod in agreement, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Commander’s gloomy face and quickly swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
But she really hadn't meant to betray Commander. Being scolded so fiercely by Commander, York felt extremely wronged.
“Glorious sister is so angry because of that ring…”
Damn it, you actually dare to bring that up! If it weren't for you, this little mole, selling me out, would I have panicked and pulled out the wrong gift?
Indeed, every mistake, big or small, is York’s fault.
Seeing Commander’s slightly improved expression turn gloomy again, York felt a bad premonition. How did she blurt out her thoughts?
She wanted to continue playing the pitiful card with Commander. No Commander could continue to be harsh with her under her watery gaze. None!
But the same trick doesn't work every time.
York met Wang Yu’s gaze again and saw that Commander’s eyes were full of sorrow and resentment. She couldn't help but hesitate.
This time, it seems, she really, truly, got Commander into a bit of… a miserable situation?
“York, why did you do this to Commander? Have you forgotten our pinky promise?” Commander’s eyes were heartbreaking.
Oh no, I’ve been counter-attacked by Commander!
York vigorously shook her head, trying to break free from Commander’s offensive. No, if she fell to her own most effective trick, her reputation would be completely ruined.
She imagined other little sisters in the port talking about her in the future, “Magical Cruiser York? Isn’t that the useless one who was instantly defeated by Commander’s ‘Star Shift’ move?”
Just thinking about such a scene made her feel like she couldn't live!
No, absolutely not. Even if Commander looked pitiful, she absolutely couldn't fall for it!
She wanted to be a bit tougher, but Commander’s gaze used to be so gentle, and his embrace so warm, but now…
Commander’s eyes were so heartbreaking, and even his face looked so haggard…
“Wuwu, Commander, York was wrong, please forgive York, I’ll give you a hug…”
Wang Yu was a bit tempted, but then he thought, he could usually hug her anytime anyway, so this apology had absolutely no sincerity!
Thinking of Glorious and Amagi, Wang Yu felt a headache. He had intended to give the ring to Amagi, but not in such a way, exposing it. He had originally planned to proceed slowly and carefully.
Everything should be planned before action. Behind every seemingly natural victory lay meticulous planning. But before he could even begin to plan, the secret was already out, and things had turned into this mess.
Little York, do you know how badly Commander has been screwed over by you? If York isn't taught a lesson this time, Wang Yu will not be appeased!
Commander, do you know how hard I work to maintain peace in the port, York?
York clearly didn’t know, but she still understood that this time she had probably really caused trouble. Commander was determined to teach her a lesson.
York gritted her teeth, and finally, with a firm tone of resigned sacrifice, she said, “Commander, I was wrong. York will let you hit her to vent your anger.”
In the past, the older sisters at the Headquarters would tap her head when she made mistakes, and her teacher would hit her palm when she wasn’t paying attention.
Commander had never blamed her before, let alone hit her.
So, she would let Commander hit her to vent his anger. Anyway… Commander doesn’t hit hard!
At worst, she would just scream a little louder!
Wang Yu was stunned, not expecting York to say such a thing. But after a moment's thought, he understood what she was planning.
You think Commander is a weakling, can't break through your defense, can't hit you hard, right?
He chuckled, a smile that made York a little uneasy. Why did something feel off?
Wang Yu turned to Gascogne, who had been standing quietly by the side, and said, “Gascogne, close the door!”
The wooden door was closed, and Gascogne even thoughtfully put on the latch.
“Com… Commander, what do you want to do?” York was a little uneasy.
“What do I want to do? Of course, to properly teach a lesson to a disobedient bad child!” Wang Yu gritted his teeth.
He picked up little York, sat down on the chair, and placed York head-down on his lap!
York was a little uneasy. Is this how you hit someone?
She soon found out.
“Slap!” A crisp sound echoed in the office.
“Commander, not there, quickly put me down.”
The feel was good. Wang Yu’s mood improved slightly. Continue!
“King of Judgement, stop! You dare to humiliate the messenger of the waves like this, you will feel the wrath of the azure sea!”
“Slap—Slap—Slap!”
Still so stubborn.
“Wuwu, Commander, I was wrong.” York’s voice finally took on a crying tone.
Knowing your mistake is good. A few more slaps and I'll calm down!
“Wuwu, Commander, I don’t like you anymore…”
