Because of worries about Deep Sea Mansion, Deep Sea Cat decided to stay in the tutelary mansion temporarily.

Although she didn't explicitly say whether she wanted to join the guard house, being able to move in was already a good start. With the Deep Sea Mansion as an internal support, the Deep Sea Cat would fall sooner or later. Li Ran was quite confident about this.

"Admiral, are you really going to the banquet tomorrow night?" Holding the invitation, Lexington carefully looked at the content on it.

The invitation was sent by someone from the city government, inviting Li Ran to attend the welcome dinner held in the city hall.

"Go, why don't you go!" After collecting the documents, Li Ran said confidently: "The banquet is held for me, so it makes no sense for me not to go."

"But!" Lexington hesitated.

"I know what you're worried about."

Noticing his wife's expression, Li Ran smiled: "I also know what admirals are most taboo about, so I won't have anything to do with them."

"That?!"

Pursing his lips, Lexington became increasingly confused.

"Communication is a must, and..."

Knocking on the table, Li Ran suddenly became irritated: "It's been several days, and we have no news at all about the other ship girls."

Having said this, Li Ran leaned back on his chair.

Since their return from New Orleans, the governor's office has not heard from the other ship girls.

Because of the existence of the deep sea, the communication methods in this world are very backward. Li Ran also knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed, but passively receiving information is not his style.

"Admiral, don't worry, everyone will come back one day." Lexington put his hand on Li Ran's shoulder and massaged it gently.

Closing his eyes, Li Ran expressed his thoughts while enjoying his wife's massage: "The reason why I agreed to the invitation from the city government is to see if they have any reliable news."

"Human?"

The movements of his hands paused, and Lexington hesitated a little: "But even the Governor's Mansion can't find out the news about other partners. Can the government do it?"

"Yes, it's a bit unreliable to look there." Nodding, Li Ran agreed with his wife's statement. Even the Governor's Mansion couldn't find out, let alone the human government, which didn't have much contact with Ship Girl.

"If you are sure that I can't come back, what are you going to do?" Li Ran pressed his wife's hand and asked a very serious question.

Although he wanted to say it was impossible, Lexington started to think seriously after seeing the admiral's expression.

"I will find a stable job first, and then live an ordinary life with Jia Jia. When I get tired of living this life, I may sink myself to the bottom of the sea." After a while, the wife replied seriously.

"I!"

Li Ran opened his mouth, but nothing came out, so he had to hold his wife's hand with his backhand.

The two sides were silent for a while, and then Li Ran expressed his guess: "So I wonder if everyone will live in seclusion around the world, doing what they like or are good at."

"It's possible!"

Lexington's eyes suddenly lit up.

If nothing else, Quincy and the others are a very good example.

"You are all excellent. No matter which industry you are in, it is easy to become the best."

The more Li Ran talked, the more confident he became.

"For example, Yixian, if she really opened a restaurant, I believe she would be very famous in a certain area."

"Indeed, Yixian's restaurant business is definitely booming." Lexington has no doubts about Yixian's craftsmanship.

Squinting his eyes, Li Ran asked casually: "I don't think the Governor's Office pays attention to such trivial matters as restaurants."

"Unless something particularly serious happens, the Governor-General rarely inquires about the situation on the human side." Nodding his head, Lexington began to understand the Admiral's thoughts.

"My idea is very simple. I just want to find out about some newcomers who have suddenly emerged in a certain industry in the past year. Although I can't say that it is 100% them, at least it is a direction."

Knocking on the table lightly, Li Ran made a loud noise.

"I think it will work."

After thinking about it carefully, Lexington also felt that this plan was feasible.

After tidying up the documents on the table, the wife hurried to the door.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing this, Li Ran called his wife out of curiosity.

"Take out the admiral's uniform and iron it." Lexington looked back at Li Ran and said with a smile, "The admiral represents the face of the governor's office, so he must not be embarrassed."

After watching his wife leave, Li Ran took the invitation and looked at it.

"Who should I take to the banquet?" When he saw the last row of words, he touched his chin and started thinking.

He thought about every ship girl, and finally had to admit that Lexington was the best person, and during this period, his wife had been working as a secretary ship and was responsible for a lot of chores every day. It would be good to take her out to relax.

.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Ran was sitting in his office in uniform, waiting for someone from the city government to pick him up.

"Admiral, is it really okay for me to wear normal clothes?" Looking at the navy uniform on his body, Lexington was a little confused.

When she learned that the admiral was going to take her to a banquet, she went to the city to buy a dress that night. Unexpectedly, she came back to try it on and was rejected by the admiral.

"What's so good about a dress? You're a ship girl, just wear your own clothes. I don't believe what they dare to say." Looking at Lexington's uniform, Li Ran waved his hand domineeringly.

"Tch, I don't know who could not even move her feet after seeing my sister's evening dress last night."

Saratoga suddenly said this sourly.

"Can the dress be worn out?" Li Ran pursed his lips and couldn't help but complain: "The chest is open to this point, can it be worn out?"

After saying that, he also made some gestures on himself.

That dress is indeed beautiful, but the chest is so low that when you bend down slightly, you can see most of the white, and the entire shoulder is exposed. Even if he can wear a shawl, Li Ran still doesn't want Lexington to wear that dress.

banquet.

"I don't want to either, but there's only one suitable dress, and it's too late to order it." He pursed his lips and smiled, making Lexington feel very happy.

She could never forget the way the admiral looked at her last night.

"So I said we don't need to wear formal clothes, just wear regular uniforms, which is in line with our status."

Waving his hand, Li Ran didn't want to continue this topic.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to be so conservative." With a smile, Saratoga stalked her.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you take me there too? I've already bought a dress. It would be a waste not to wear it. You might as well let me put it on and go with you."

"That won't work. I don't want others to take advantage of me." No matter what Saratoga said, Li Ran still disagreed.

"Humph, old antique!"

Although Saratoga looked unhappy, her eyes were shining with joy.

"Gaga, stop making trouble, you've wrinkled the admiral's uniform." Pulling Gaga away, Lexington straightened his collar.

Drop! Drop! Drop!
