Chapter 328

The interviewer toyed with an expensive pen in his hand, and compared to the CP head vice principal and the stern scorekeeper, he seemed more incisive.

That's normal; after all, in a serious interview, someone has to play the 'bad guy'.

You can't expect the vice principal to play the villain, can you?

After two rounds, Leon and his wife will probably get a perfect score.

"Mr. Interviewer, in my opinion, the circumstances surrounding my pregnancy with my daughter have no direct relation to how we treat her after she was born."

Leon's voice was deep and powerful, "Do you really think that the parents who raised such an outstanding young dragon as Noa are so irresponsible?"

A well-chosen rhetorical question can achieve the effect of bluffing.

Moreover, Losweiser could tell that the scoundrel was getting annoyed by the 'bad guy's' questions.

While this was certainly an excuse they came up with to lower the score, questioning a father's love for his daughter in front of him is somewhat uncomfortable.

In other words, Leon was not in a good position in this interview, otherwise he might have already overturned the table and released Thousand Birds.

The interviewer smiled faintly, lowered his head, stopped playing with the pen, and then wrote something on the paper.

"Miss Losweiser, you just mentioned that married life has become mundane, and the two of you have lost the passion you once had for each other."

The vice principal frowned slightly. "Has this situation improved since the birth of the Third Princess?"

Losweiser smiled and raised her hand to smooth her hair. "There will definitely be some improvement, but it will probably be very difficult to go back to how things were when we first got married."

As soon as she finished speaking, Losweiser quietly nudged Leon's leg under the table.

Leon immediately understood and added, "To be honest, let alone the state we were in when we first got married, we probably can't go back to how things were two years ago when Noa first enrolled in school."

The couple worked in tandem, teetering on the edge of acceptable boundaries in their family interview.

You could say they want a divorce, but it hasn't come to that yet;

But to say they were still deeply in love would be a bit of an exaggeration.

In short, it's very strange.

Their strangeness was enough to push their interview scores close to "mediocre".

Mediocrity isn't necessarily a bad thing; this level of achievement is enough to pass the entrance exam without having to be from a model family.

The couple secretly rejoiced as they observed the interviewers' reactions.

This is going to work!

However, they figured out the limits of their rhetoric and the bottom line of the interview, but they forgot to consider the vice principal, the head of the CP (Conference) team.

The old man took several sips of water, as if forcing himself to calm down.

After several more rounds of questions and answers, the two interviewers leaned close to Wilson's ears and said that there were no more problems.

Wilson glanced at the score sheet in their hands. Although the score was high enough to pass the family interview, it was just a passing grade.

Contrary to the vice principal's expectations, the overwhelming force of defeating all opponents with solid and pure love did not materialize.

The vice principal pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He pursed his lips and looked at the couple sitting in front of him.

They leaned back in their chairs, legs crossed, looking completely at ease.

The scene was harmonious, but in the vice principal's opinion, the pairing he was promoting was already drifting further and further away!

The vice principal rubbed his fingers together, and after a moment of hesitation, finally mustered the courage to ask.

"I would like to ask you two... do you still love each other?"

Losweiser raised an eyebrow. "Love, of course I love."

Leon nodded in agreement, "Although the passion of those days is gone, I still love my wife."

They would never admit that they no longer love each other.

Even without this 'no-social-death-plan', they might not admit it? —Ahem, well, that's hard to say~

However, although Leon and Losweiser both expressed their opinions, the vice principal believed that they were only saying this to prepare for the interview.

Old Deng quietly clenched his fist, thinking to himself:

No.

This absolutely cannot be done!

The pairings he supports absolutely cannot collapse!

After the interview, the couple left the room, closed the door, and simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.

"The No-Death Plan - A Great Success!"

Snap—

The two high-fived in celebration.

But they immediately realized that this was still the vice principal's territory. They had described the relationship as so 'ordinary' in the interview room, but as soon as they stepped out, they were high-fiving and celebrating. It was hard not to suspect that they had just been acting.

The couple walked through the crowd, went down the stairs, and arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

There are still many parents here, waiting for their baby dragons to complete the tests.

Leon looked around, and seeing neither the vice-principal nor any of his spies, he approached Losweiser with a smile, seeking praise.

How was my acting just now?

The Queen crossed her arms, sizing up the scoundrel. She suppressed a urge to smile and feigned ignorance. "What acting skills? Isn't that what you really think?"

General Leon was taken aback and quickly retorted, "How... how did you say it from the heart? Didn't we agree to act, to pretend that we have no passion for each other?"

"Oh, how do I know if you're taking this opportunity to reveal what you've always thought?"

"Hey, Dragon Queen, you—"

Seeing that the clueless straight man was about to blush, Losweiser quickly slammed on the brakes, raised her index finger, and gently pressed it against Leon's lips. "Just kidding, look how anxious you are."

"..."

She seems to be getting better and better at "stopping at the last second"—not just in bed.

One of Losweiser's usual pleasures is teasing her Dragon Slayer hero, finding his embarrassed and helpless expression quite amusing.

But as the old saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

There were times when she accidentally made Leon really angry.

At first, Losweiser would patiently coax him;

But as time went on, Losweiser figured out Leon's temperament.

Knowing when he'll turn on you, quickly show weakness before he does.

As soon as Losweiser acted cute, Leon immediately cooled down.

Don't let General Leon's tough talk fool you; he actually dotes on his wife.

"Your acting skills are indeed quite good."

Losweiser praised, "You portrayed the helplessness and desolation of a married man so vividly and realistically, while also conveying your expectations for our marriage. Tsk tsk tsk, the Empire owes you a performance championship."

"Likewise, I even genuinely thought for a moment that you didn't have feelings for me—"

He had intended to exchange a few banter with the Dragon Queen, but Leon's thoughtless remark almost let something slip.

However, it was still a bit late.

Losweiser smiled, her hands behind her back, leaning slightly forward, and looked up at him with her beautiful silver eyes. "What? You thought I had nothing left for you?"

"... nothing."

"Tell me, do you think I'm really not interested in you anymore? Hmm?"

The Queen smiled warmly, "Oh dear~ the little lion is scared, how pitiful~"

"This academy has a practical training ground, right?"

Losweiser paused, blinked, "Yes... oh, what for?"

"Let's go have a fight, that'll shut you up."

"Tch~"

Losweiser wanted to continue teasing the clueless straight man, but Leon suddenly made a shushing gesture.

She stopped smiling and lowered her voice, "What's wrong?"

"Old Wilson is coming down, right behind you—don't turn around, pretend you don't see him."

Losweiser nodded, while simultaneously distancing herself from Leon.

After all, in the vice principal's eyes, they are now "a couple who don't have much passion for each other anymore."

"Mr. Leon, Mr. Leon, you're here! I've been looking for you."

The vice principal strode over.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Vice Principal?" Leon asked politely.

"Ah... it's nothing, I just wanted to talk to you."

After a pause, the vice principal quickly added, "It has nothing to do with this entrance interview or test; we were just chatting as friends."

Leon had no idea what Old Deng was up to, so he could only look at Losweiser.

Losweiser nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that there was no problem.

"Sure, let's chat."

"Then please, let's talk in private." The vice principal gestured for the adjacent cubicle to be opened.

"Um... okay, let's go."

"Miss Losweiser, please wait a moment."

"Um."

Leon followed the vice principal into the cubicle.

The vice principal stood at the door of the cubicle, glanced mysteriously at both sides, then withdrew his head and closed the door.

Leon raised an eyebrow slightly.

What are we supposed to do?

Could it be that you, Vice Principal, have evolved from a CP (couple pairing) leader into a fanatical sasaeng fan? Are you going to lock me up here?

You really need to think about it carefully, because if I use Thousand Birds once, your old bones probably won't be able to withstand it.

"Mr. Leon, I'd like to ask you, is your marriage with Miss Losweiser truly facing... a crisis?"

"Ha?"

"Oh, I mean, are you experiencing some kind of emotional... problem?"

Leon crossed his arms, frowned, and pondered for a moment before replying, "My wife and I already explained our situation during the interview, Vice Principal. There shouldn't be any controversy about that, right?"

Seeing that Leon did not give him a direct answer, the vice principal's heart sank even further.

"Sigh... so, so... you're really getting a divorce?"

Leon:?

"Wait, wait, vice principal, what's wrong with your thinking? How did you jump straight to divorce?"

"Huh? Mr. Leon, you didn't even answer my question directly, so isn't that an admission that your marriage with Miss Losweiser is in crisis and you're already considering divorce?"

"..."

"How could this be? Mr. Leon... Just two years ago, you were the academy's model family."

"Vice Principal... you—"

"Oh, I really can't believe it. How did my favorite family end up like this?"

"Vice Principal?"

"How about this, Mr. Leon? I know a highly professional team that handles marital crises. They have the Dragon Race' top relationship experts. It's said they once made a 100-year-old male dragon fall in love with an 800-year-old Dragon Queen, which speaks volumes about their capabilities. So, if you go there, you'll definitely be able to solve this problem!"
