Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived! Chapter 1562: Other People’s “Mermaid” VS Competitive Villai

Raymond keenly noticed that his adjutant Yakexi’s state was very off.

Occasionally, when he looked up, he would catch Yakexi stealthily glancing at him.

Or when he called Yakexi’s na, Yakexi would jump up like a cat caught by surprise.

This left Raymond baffled.

He has never been one to hold things back.

So, on this day, Raymond directly called the adjutant’s na.

"Yakexi."

Yakexi shuddered internally: "Ah...? Sir, is there sothing you need?"

He tried to glean so clue from the Marshal’s face, but clearly—after working under the Marshal for several years, he had never once been able to guess the Marshal’s thoughts.

Raymond quietly looked at Yakexi: "Yakexi, it’s not about , but I want to ask you, what’s been going on with you lately?"

What’s been going on?

Yakexi really wanted to cry and swear to the heavens hugging his own marshal’s leg, saying he knew he was wrong and wouldn’t dare to have any thoughts about the Marshal’s wife again.

But he feared that would get him killed—silenced, considering the Marshal’s combat power value, soone like him wouldn’t last five minutes.

Yakexi could only pretend to be calm and say: "Nothing’s wrong."

He saw Marshal Raymond’s hands crossed on the desk, with his right index finger gently rubbing the back of his left hand.

This was the Marshal’s expression of doubt.

He was doubting his words.

Raymond looked at Yakexi standing in front of him, obviously not intending to tell the truth, and said, "Yakexi, as a superior, I have no interest in your personal affairs, but you cannot let any non-work-related emotions affect official matters. Otherwise, I will question your ability to be a competent adjutant."

Honestly, Raymond thought that his adjutant, aside from occasionally having a character that seed a little out of line and made him seem foolish, was quite satisfactory in his work performance.

But that didn’t an he could tolerate him indefinitely.

The remark just now was more of a psychological pressure tactic.

For now, he had no intention of replacing his adjutant.

But Yakexi didn’t see it that way.

Especially with the burden he carried in his heart, hearing Raymond speak that seriously to him.

An impulse surged in Yakexi’s mind, and he finally couldn’t help but confess what was on his mind.

Raymond: "..."

Yakexi still stared wide-eyed, expressing his determination: "I’m serious, Your Excellency the Marshal, I know I was wrong, I promise never to think about the Marshal’s wife again..."

Raymond gritted his teeth secretly; he hadn’t even given this matter any thought.

But with Yakexi confessing like that, it did make one feel there was sothing to it.

However, he wasn’t unreasonable.

He gave Yakexi a sidelong glance: "Such a thing, and you’ve been so scared these days that you can’t even do your job properly?"

Yakexi bowed his head in silence, implicitly admitting it.

Raymond continued: "Afraid I’d be upset and make things difficult for you?"

Yakexi lowered his head even more.

Raymond snorted coldly: "So, to you, I’m such an unreasonable person?"

After saying that, without waiting for Yakexi’s reaction, he continued: "Rest assured, I don’t worry about such things."

It was only then that Yakexi breathed a sigh of relief.

The Marshal is a man true to his word; if he says he won’t mind, then he definitely won’t mind.

But then he quickly heard his superior’s leisurely remark: "Do you think, with a fiancé like , she would even look at you?"
