"What nonsense?!"

Shocked in his heart, Li Ran couldn't help but angrily scolded him.

I am a high-ranking admiral, how could I do such a despicable thing?

Da da da!

Just as Li Rang was about to teach Leipzig a few words, a crisp sound of footsteps came from far and near, and a graceful and luxurious woman walked into the living room with elegant steps.

Seeing this, Li Ran stood up quickly.

"Two guests, this is from our Chamber of Commerce..."

"Okay, you go down first. With Leipzig here, I think they know my identity very well."

Santi raised her hand to interrupt the butler.

"Yes~!"

Lowering his head slightly, the butler quickly exited the living room and gently closed the door.

"Sit, just treat it as your own home." Pointing to the sofa behind Li Ran, Santi smiled and said: "You don't need to be so restrained, learn from Leipzig."

Hearing this, Li Ran turned around and looked.

I saw Leipzig sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a red apple in his hand and chewing on it.

"Admiral, what are you doing?" Meeting Li Ran's gaze, Leipzig hurriedly protected the apple and said, "I picked this myself. You can eat it yourself."

"Tsk, I won't eat it."

Rolling his eyes, Li Ran shook his head helplessly.

"Admiral?!"

Noticing the title of Leipzig, Santi rolled her beautiful eyes and stayed on Li Ran for a while longer.

"This is the admiral Leipzig talks about." Santi lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are so majestic. I can tell at a glance that your garrison is very powerful."

After a pause, Santi glanced at Lexington and continued: "And your secretary ship must be particularly powerful."

"Oh, how come you can see it?"

Li Ran's curiosity was instantly aroused.

"Although your clothes are simple, they are made with exquisite workmanship. You can tell at a glance that they are made by a master. They are well-dressed and neat. Your appearance is also carefully taken care of. The watch on your wrist is a high-end product. I want to come here."

Your garrison must be very prosperous."

"I have to say, you have a good secretary." Santi concluded.

"No, you're flattering me." He pursed his lips and smiled. Lexington's smile was particularly sweet.

I have to admit, Santi is very good at talking.

If she praises herself, why Lexington is not so happy, the problem is that Santi catches Li Ran and praises him fiercely, even if the wife knows that the other person's words are just polite words, she will be very happy.

"Tch, you flatterer~!"

After secretly glancing at the smiling Lexington, Leipzig muttered in his heart.

"Who is this?"

Turning to look at Lexington, Santi pretended to be confused.

"She is the excellent secretary ship you call - the Lexington-class aircraft carrier Lexington." Leipzig said sourly from the side.

"Well, well, well, it turns out that Lexington, who was just called the perfect wife, who else could be so virtuous and decent?" Covering her lips with one hand, Santi screamed in surprise.

"Everywhere, there are just some false names."

Faced with Santi's praise, Lexington just smiled.

"To be honest, I have met many admirals. Your admiral is the best-cared-for admiral I have ever seen. As expected of you." Mrs. Chao gave a thumbs up. Santi's eyes were particularly sincere.

"Really? I'm worried that I haven't taken good care of myself." Lexington narrowed his glasses and became excited.

Cough! Cough!

Li Ran coughed slightly, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Smoothing down her hair, Santi closed her legs, her calves tilted gracefully at a forty-five degree angle, and said, "So, you two, do you have anything to ask me about?"

"Mrs. Santi?!"

After looking at Santi's calf for a moment, Li Ran hesitated for a while and said cautiously.

"Ah, you are the admiral, just call me by my ship's name, Santi." Santi gently waved his hand and laughed softly.

"you are married?"

Li Ran blinked slightly and directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

After entering the Chamber of Commerce, Li Ran heard all about Mrs. Santi, which made him curious that a ship girl would choose to marry without an admiral.

"No~!"

Tilting his head, Santi looked at Li Ran with confusion.

"Then why does everyone call you Mrs. Santi?" Li Ran blurted out after scratching the back of his head.

"That's it~!" Santi covered her mouth and said with a smile, "It's just that I think adding the word "Mrs." after the name is more powerful."

"Too."

After thinking for a while, Li Ran nodded in agreement.

"You two, can you tell me your purpose of coming now?" Santi smiled as he raised his eyes.

"That's right, I heard that you froze Leipzig's bank account." Li Ran rubbed his palms and met Santi's eyes.

After touching the tea cup and taking a sip, Santi nodded and replied: "I froze Leipzig's bank account. Who asked her to destroy the goods I bought?"

"That's too much, that's Leipzig's hard-earned money." Li Ran said seriously.

"You may not know, but your Leipzig often steals my goods and sells them." Santi glanced at Leipzig lightly and said in a calm tone.

"Ah, Sister Santi, you know everything?!"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Leipzig scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Hmph~!"

Rolling his eyes, Santi said confidently: "The Chamber of Commerce is all under my control, can you hide your little moves from me?"

At the same time, Li Ran gave Leipzig a hard look.

He never expected that Leipzig would do such a thing.

"Forget it, I don't care about this, you can do whatever you want." Li Ran waved his hands dejectedly, and Li Ran leaned on the sofa without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lexington hurriedly took off a peeled orange segment and stuffed it into Li Ran's mouth.

"Actually, it's not impossible to thaw. I can let go of the past." Smoothing his hair, Santi's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.

Li Ran pursed his lips and said feebly: "There is no free lunch in this world. What do you want me to do?"

"It's simple, cooperate!"

Pushing up his glasses, Santi finally expressed his thoughts.

"cooperate?!"

After taking a look at Lexington, Li Ran couldn't figure out why he was worthy of cooperation.

"To tell you the truth, the market for ship girls is quite big. Just eating and drinking in a garrison is a big expense, you know this."

"I know this."

Nodding, Li Ran knew that what Santi said was true, and the governor's mansion spent a lot of money on food every month.

"I would be very grateful if you would allow me to do business in your garrison."

"Then what benefit do I get?"

Hearing that Santi wanted to start a business, Li Ran also became interested.

If the daily supplies could be purchased without leaving the garrison, it would also reduce Lexington's work pressure.

"Taxation, and convenience."
