—Such a beautiful love story! I was feeling a little sad about the arranged marriage before, but the general’s true love really is our Secretary Luo!
—Such a beautiful love story! Here’s a little insider information: we can be happy for an entire week! Deputy Adjutant, keep it up!
Luo Ran: “……”
He even knew how to use hashtags to attract attention. This was getting ridiculous.
And the number of likes—more than the Empire’s official military account received—was even more ridiculous.
Seriously, with that many likes, if they were living in the feudal era of ancient Earth, Lu Cheng would already have been executed for becoming too powerful and threatening the throne.
However…
Luo Ran frowned slightly.
He had been unconscious at the time and hadn’t known what happened. So Lucas had been the one to catch him?
Luo Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The story had been exaggerated far too much.
Luo Ran spent the entire afternoon happily surfing the Star Network. Meanwhile, Lucas, on the other hand, was clearly having a much less pleasant time.
“General, your next appointment is a meeting with several deputy adjutants at military headquarters. The materials to be discussed concern the comprehensive replacement of mech fuel…” At that moment, Rong Duo stood some distance from Lucas’s desk, holding his schedule and reporting with considerable trepidation.
“There’s no need to come in and tell me about this kind of thing!” Lucas snapped impatiently. “Just arrange it, won’t you?! Do I have to teach you how to prepare the materials, too?”
“Yes…!” Rong Duo was on the verge of tears. “Then I’ll head out first…!”
“Wait.” Lucas frowned. “Where are the materials?”
Rong Duo: “?”
Lucas’s expression darkened. “The materials for the meeting I just mentioned. Give them to me.”
Rong Duo was once again on the verge of tears. “They’re not… ready yet. I’m sorry. I didn’t know the general needed them right now. I’ll organize them immediately!”
Lucas couldn’t even be bothered to scold her anymore.
After Rong Duo hurried out, Lucas impatiently took a sip of his coffee.
Ugh. Disgusting.
Why was the coffee the secretary’s office had made for him this afternoon so awful?
It was so sweet. Were they trying to poison him?
It felt just like that time Luo Ran had suddenly taken a day off without warning. Nothing had gone smoothly. Everyone else seemed unable to keep up with his pace or understand what he needed for work.
Lucas frowned.
Two more days.
Who knew what that little brat was doing right now?
Lucas paused, then contacted the Network Administration Bureau to obtain backend access as well.
And then he discovered that Luo Ran had shared countless posts and videos throughout the afternoon.
Lucas: “……”
Living quite the carefree life, wasn’t he?
Lucas opened them one by one.
Cat and dog videos, recipes, gardening guides…
And all sorts of everyday life tips.
—Seven Ways to Tie a Necktie! A Different Style for Every Day of the Week!
—The Five Most Fragrant Coffee Beans in the World! Do You Know How to Brew Them to Bring Out Their Best Aroma?
—The Ultimate Guide to Incense: Everything You Need to Know
—The Fastest and Easiest Way to Clean Your Furniture!
Lucas scoffed coldly. Anyone who didn’t know better would think this was a column written by some domestic goddess. So fussy and feminine.
—A Guide to the Retro Amusement Park
—Retro Amusement Park Ticket Prices
Lucas frowned slightly.
An amusement park?
He checked the details and discovered the tagline:
A Perfect Date Destination.
Lucas was furious.
Damn it! Had that little brat requested time off to go on a date with some matchmaking candidate?!
…………………..
“Reporting to the general! We’ve checked. Secretary Luo hasn’t had any matchmaking candidates recently!”
At that moment, the captain of the security team was delivering a perfectly serious report on Luo Ran’s recent romantic life.
“He hasn’t been on a matchmaking date in six months!”
The security captain thought to himself that the general kept investigating Secretary Luo’s private life every so often. His possessiveness was incredible. No wonder he was an SSS-rank Alpha.
Ah, such a beautiful love story.
“Understood.” Lucas frowned.
Then who was Luo Ran going with? Was he going alone? Or was he simply checking the place out?
Just then, Rong Duo returned in a flurry, having finished organizing the documents.
Lucas glanced at the young woman, then asked, “Have you heard about the new retro amusement park?”
“……??”
Rong Duo immediately understood what was going on.
Oh my god! Is he planning a date?!
“Yes, I have. It’s very popular lately. Apparently, it’s a great destination for romantic dates and family outings, and the ticket prices are quite reasonable.”
Her expression remained serious and professional, but inside, an entire symphony orchestra was playing ten different symphonies while countless lines of excited comments flashed across her mind.
“Do people usually go with family, friends, or romantic partners? Does anyone go alone?”
Rong Duo thought about it before answering, “You can certainly go by yourself, but… I think it might look a little lonely?”
“Understood.”
……
Luo Ran spent half of his first day off surfing the Star Network and lounging in bed. It wasn’t until evening that he finally got up to cook.
He actually enjoyed cooking and experimenting with recipes, and he was very good at it. He just rarely had the time.
On the second day, Luo Ran got up early, freshened up a little, and went home.
His original family had been comfortably well-off, but ever since Luo Ran had become Lucas’s secretary, the entire family’s status and social standing had risen considerably.
His father, who had originally been staying in a small hospital room, had been moved to a private VIP suite on the hospital’s top floor. The hospital had also assigned him its best doctors, who had been making house calls to examine him over the past few years.
Luo Ran’s older brother had secured a high-ranking position at military headquarters, and the family had moved into a luxurious mansion in an upscale residential district provided by the government.
Luo Cheng and Wang Zitong had prepared a meal early and were waiting for him. As soon as they heard the sound of his aircraft, Wang Zitong was so eager that she rushed outside and waited by the door.
“Ranran is home! Let Mom have a good look at you.”
The moment Luo Ran stepped out of the aircraft, Wang Zitong hurried over and began patting and pinching him affectionately.
Unlike the other wealthy wives in the upscale residential district, who dressed in elegant, luxurious styles, Wang Zitong still preferred ordinary clothes. She was a petite, slender woman who looked warm and approachable.
Luo Cheng stood behind Wang Zitong. Seeing Luo Ran return, he nodded in satisfaction and smiled. Like Luo Ran, both parents had gentle smiles.
