"Jiang Yan, go and bring back all the women with abilities that have emerged in recent years," Jiang Zhilin said, sitting on the sofa in his office, eyes closed and rubbing his temples, fatigue evident in his voice.
"Uncle," Jiang Yan quickly corrected himself upon seeing Jiang Zhilin's glare. "Supreme Leader, as you command. I'll take care of it immediately. But why do you need so many women with abilities? You've already captured at least forty. There are hardly any women with abilities left, especially those with a bit of fame and rank."
"Impossible! You must not have captured her. Where could she be?" Jiang Zhilin's anger flared instantly.
"Madam is here," a guard announced loudly from outside the door.
"Supreme Leader, what have you been busy with lately? You haven't been home for several days," Dai Yuanyuan sauntered in, her presence captivating.
"Madam, why are you here? You should be resting at home; it's chaotic and dirty here," Jiang Zhilin said as he stood up to support her.
"If I don't come, will you even remember you have a family? I thought I was no longer married. Zhilin, I know you're busy with state affairs, but don’t forget about home," Dai Yuanyuan chided gently.
Jiang Yan felt awkward and said, "Madam, it's good to see you. I'll take my leave now."
"Alright, go ahead," Dai Yuanyuan waved her hand dismissively. Once Jiang Yan left, she nestled against Jiang Zhilin's side, her tone softening. "Zhilin, you're getting busier and busier. I don't want to be alone at home anymore. Can we have a child?"
"Yuan Yuan, it's not the right time. Once we eliminate the rebels and the zombies, we can think about having a big baby," Jiang Zhilin replied.
"No! You've been saying that for over a year now. Look at the situation— the Huaxia Army is getting stronger, and the zombies are taking over more territory. If we continue living like this, will you never want children? We've been married for almost a year; what kind of life am I living? I understand you're busy with work, but you're so busy that even that has become rare—once a month during our honeymoon period! Are you seeing someone else?" Dai Yuanyuan's anger boiled over as she bombarded him with questions, her face set in defiance.
"Of course not! You're overthinking it. I'm truly busy with state affairs. Please stop making a fuss," Jiang Zhilin soothed her. "Go home and get some rest; don't think too much." He embraced Dai Yuanyuan and kissed her forehead gently before coaxing her out of the office.
Dai Yuanyuan touched her forehead, where he had kissed her, feeling a sweet warmth inside. However, as she regained her senses, she remembered there was still a question she hadn’t asked. A sense of worry crept in, and she hesitated to voice it. Was there anyone outside? If not, why were they continuously collecting female Ability users? Those women seemed to vanish without a trace once they entered; no one knew where they went. Why did he rarely spend time with her? Did she really not capture his heart? He wouldn’t want to disappoint her; after all, he was just an ordinary person. Without his grandfather's strong support, how could he have achieved his current status and garnered so many followers? He still needed her. As long as she was around, he would be the top son-in-law. If he dared to secretly take on a mistress behind her back, she would ensure that the wretched woman would suffer.
Dai Yuanyuan stepped out of the office and looked at the aide waiting at the door. "Send someone to follow Jiang Yan. If he brings a woman back, stop them."
