If possible, Lexington still wanted to take Firefly with her. After all, during her time at Naval Base, aside from her sister Saratoga, Firefly was the closest to her.
However, the little girl already had an Admiral, so everything else was a different matter.
After styling little Kiddo's hair into a pair of beautiful pigtails, Lexington finally clapped her hands in satisfaction and stood up.
"Do you really know where Saratoga is?" Lexington still had some doubts. In her travels over the past two years, she had been to many places and had asked many Fleet Girls about Saratoga and Naval Base, but unfortunately, she had come up empty-handed. On the other hand, the newcomer Admiral, a graduate who had just finished at Rongcheng Naval Academy, hadn't been to many places as a naval rookie; why would she know anything about Saratoga? Nevertheless, since she was already here, it was worth asking!
Of course, if the other party dared to deceive her, she would truly be ready to fight.
Earlier, that Admiral named Wang Kai had annoyed Lexington to no end. But throughout their encounter, that guy had only rambled on without any inappropriate behavior. The port was a public place; although he had indeed disturbed her, Lexington had no reason to teach him a lesson. If she found it noisy, she could simply walk away! She stayed there because she found other places even more crowded. So if she were to act out now, she wouldn't have any justification.
Now it was different. First, the other party had deceived her. Second, they caused her to miss the passenger ship to Lishui, wasting a ticket. So even if she taught the other party a lesson, it wouldn't be a problem. Even if this matter reached the Gendarmerie, she would still be in the right.
Although Chuyang did not notice the hint of danger hidden behind Lexington's gentle smile, he understood that saying too much was pointless and directly took out a photo of Lieutenant General Saratoga from his jacket pocket.
The woman in the photo had long golden hair and wore a bright smile on her face. She was winking with one eye while closing the other and making a "V" sign with her right hand. The whole image exuded a sunny and lively vibe. Judging by the background, this was likely taken at a kindergarten since not far behind her was a sky-blue wall adorned with various cartoon patterns. Several children around four or five years old were sitting on the grass playing a game of tossing handkerchiefs.
"Jaja," Saratoga murmured after looking at the photo but did not return it; instead, she tucked it directly into her trench coat pocket.
"Let's go! I think we need to find a place to talk." There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world; nothing falls from the sky without reason. Everything obtained requires an equivalent exchange. As the former CEO of Tiandu Enterprises, Lexington naturally understood this principle.
"I have the same intention."
"Damn European White Monkey." Due to the distance, Wang Kai couldn't hear the conversation between Chuyang and Lexington clearly, but that didn't stop him from imagining the scene.
An Admiral had a quarrel with his Wedding Ship, and in a fit of anger, the Fleet Girls ran away from home. Naturally, the Admiral would chase after them, and the outcome was obvious; which Fleet Girl could resist an Admiral's sweet words?
But why couldn't you just argue at home? Instead, he ended up in a big mess, attracting a married woman and getting bombarded with dog food. Didn't they know that showing off their affection could lead to trouble? He had a phrase he wasn't sure if he should say.
"Admiral, let's go! Our ship has arrived."
"Okay." He glanced at the bouncy Loli Destroyer walking ahead and sighed. When would he also have a big sister-level Fleet Girl? Even a Destroyer big sister would be fine...
"What would you like to drink?" Sitting in a chair, Lexington looked down at the menu in her hands.
They were at a café outside the port, decorated in an antique European style, with an enticing aroma filling the air. The spacious interior was serene and elegant, with several light-colored plant oil paintings hanging on the white walls. Bright light streamed through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, making it feel well-lit even without any lights on.
"Cappuccino," Chuyang said without thinking. He really didn't know much about coffee; he only knew there were Cappuccinos and Lattes. As for their differences, well! One had more milk foam, and the other had less.
"Then two cups of Cappuccino and one cup of Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice," Lexington said as she handed the menu to a waiter dressed in a white shirt and black vest with a bow tie.
Although Lexington was an American ship, she also didn't know much about coffee. She usually drank instant coffee with two big spoons of creamer added. As for strong bitter coffee, probably only Bismarck liked it when they were at the Naval Base!
Two cups of coffee—one for her and one for Chuyang—while the orange juice was naturally prepared for Firefly.
At this moment, Loli looked very obedient and didn't drink any orange juice. She rested her chin on her hands, staring intently without blinking at Chuyang and Lexington, who were sitting across from her and still had nothing to say.
Chuyang didn't know what to say. He couldn't just say, "Lexington! I am the Admiral who has never appeared before, so I am also your husband. Once I receive my appointment letter, we can go find Saratoga together."
Such words would not only be disbelieved by Lexington, but even his Firefly, who had already become one of his Fleet Girls, wouldn't believe him. He had tried to probe with words earlier, so Chuyang truly didn't know how to start.
As for simply telling Lexington Saratoga's address, Chuyang had considered it. However, looking at Lexington's attitude, she would undoubtedly say goodbye after learning this news, and it would be the kind of farewell that meant they would never meet again.
Meanwhile, Lexington was contemplating what she could offer Chuyang in exchange for Saratoga's information.
But after thinking it over, she couldn't come up with a good idea. If Chuyang were an ordinary person, she could easily give him a large sum of money. Unfortunately, Chuyang was an Admiral; in a sense, what he valued wasn't money but rather her as an Aircraft Carrier Ship Girl.
Lifting her cup, she took a light sip of the slightly cooled and somewhat bitter coffee. Finally, Lexington spoke up: "Go ahead! What do you want me to do for you in exchange for Saratoga's information?"
