Based on her strong and capable personality as a mediator, Jiang He had a strong feeling that his reward might have already become part of Victory Team's research funding...
After all, they were now a family, so transferring funds was perfectly normal, just like how he now had the dominant say over this small villa.
Then, Jiang He noticed that Jujian Hui's reaction was slightly different from what he expected.
"If it's about intimate actions, please give me some time to adjust." Jujian Hui said, looking in another direction with hesitation and embarrassment on her face.
"Adjust? " Jiang He was suddenly confused by her off-topic answer.
Did he say or imply anything like that?
Or did this woman misunderstand something...
Noticing that she wasn't receiving a reply, Jujian Hui looked at Jiang He with a touch of apology and confusion. Then, she saw the strange expression on his face, as if he was about to say something but held back.
For a moment, they both fell into silence, realizing what the other was thinking.
"If I say that I was only implying a thank-you reward to TPC earlier, would you believe me?" Jiang He said, trying to take the initiative.
"Um..." Jujian Hui looked at her hands resting on her knees, her face flushing red in embarrassment as she nodded.
She suddenly felt a little ashamed. How could she have misunderstood it like that?
Moreover, he simply explained it, but he actually added the word "originally."
Didn't this imply that he thought of it now?
For a moment, the living room once again fell into the same delicate atmosphere as the coffee shop earlier.
Only a little different this time.
Jiang He felt that he, as a man, needed to find a topic to break the tension. After all, there was no opportunity to "run to the bathroom" this time, as he only had a small sip of his lunch coffee.
Therefore, as his eyes scanned the room, he unconsciously chose a topic without thinking.
"That... your hands are very beautiful."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang He immediately regretted it.
What kind of topic was this?
If the person sitting across from him wasn't his legal wife, in Japan, he would probably be treated as a pervert on the spot.
Even if this was the Ultraman world...
"Pfft." Hearing his words, Jujian Hui couldn't help but chuckle softly. She rolled her eyes at him before saying with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment."
She suddenly realized that this husband wasn't so difficult to face after all. They could just start interacting like normal couples.
It was just that their relationship was a little special.
"Regarding the reward for the Kirieloid incident, Director Zeijil has asked me to bring it over. It's double the amount." Jujian Hui smiled as she pushed a card from a small bag on the coffee table between them towards Jiang He.
"Double? Does TPC have some other information they want to ask about?" Jiang He glanced at the small bag, which clearly contained something else, and asked Jujian Hui.
Even if TPC, the Earth Defense Headquarters, had a lot of money, they wouldn't give out double the reward without reason. After all, it was public money.
Zeijil, the pacifist, was very strict about such matters.
"Yes, we are very curious about the monster sightings recently reported from Kurai Island. Do you have any information about them?" Jujian Hui became more serious as she talked about the matter.
She took a document from the small bag that contained Kurai Island's report and handed it to Jiang He, "Please take a look."
"Okay." Jiang He nodded. After simply glancing at the document, he was basically certain that the Kurai Island monster sightings reported in the document
should be those two poor Rock Monsters, Gaku-ma.
Thinking about this, Jiang He looked at Jujian Hui and said, "Regarding the information about the Gaku-ma monsters on Kurai Island, I will compile a document and send it to Victory Team later."
"That would be great. That way, my special task today is complete, and I don't have to rush back to work on the documents you mentioned." Jujian Hui smiled and joked.
What she said wasn't entirely a joke. Originally, if Jiang He had just told her verbally about some information regarding the Kurai Island monsters,
she would have had to spend a lot of time organizing the information after returning to Victory Team base and then report it to the team members.
Now, Jiang He directly sent the document, which was a big help.
"Since you're free, why don't I take you to a nostalgic bar to grab a bite?" Jiang He invited Jujian Hui.
He remembered that Jujian Hui seemed to really like the food at a nostalgic bar, and the atmosphere where they could have a little bit of low-alcohol drinks.
It was just that as the captain of Victory Team, she always set an example and devoted most of her time to work. Throughout the year, she rarely had the chance to go there.
Although this Ultraman world was slightly different from what he remembered, it was negligible.
"Okay, if it won't affect you organizing the document." Jujian Hui's eyes lit up, and she nodded with a hint of a smile.
"Of course it won't. It's just a little information." Jiang He assured her.
He didn't intend to organize the Gaku-ma information himself.
With a copying and summoning witch Kirieloid as a hard-working little laborer, this kind of task should be left to her.
At most, he just needed to use his Ultraman telekinesis to transfer this small amount of information to her.
Now, the most important thing was to improve his relationship with his bossy wife.
