Chapter 9

“You will be sentenced to 30 years in jail, but Mistress, you didn’t cheat him into marriage. He agreed to it himself,” Blackie said.

“Many memories will become blurry when beastmen are in the manic period. What they say might also…” Qu Xiaowan’s eyes lit up. “Does that mean that he might forget the person who helped him relieve his manic period?”

Blackie answered, “That’s the theory, but Mistress, have you forgotten that you’re already married? His AI calls you Madam.”

This also proved that even if he had forgotten who she was, it was impossible for him not to know who had got him to register his marriage.

“…” Qu Xiaowan.

Oh no! I can’t live like this anymore!

Half an hour after Qu Xiaowan left the Starry Night Building, the door of the bridal lounge slowly opened. Jing Yu, who was wearing a dark blue military uniform, walked out with a dark expression.

The adjutant said, “Commander, His Majesty urgently wants to see you. Why don’t you follow us to see His Majesty first?”

Jing Yu lowered his eyes and looked back at the lounge. He hummed faintly.

***

District Two, Qu Family’s villa.

The Qu Family was in the food and beverage business. The Qu Family’s restaurants had outlets in both Upper District Two and Middle District Two.

Food was becoming more and more scarce nowadays. Only the rich could afford to eat stir-fried food. The poor could only rely on nutrient solutions to maintain their basic physical needs.

Qu Xiaowan was curled up on the sofa. Yue Ran, who was beside her, had already forgotten about asking for divorce from her husband. Her face was filled with worry. “Xiaowan, is what you said true? That Ah Yu is that masked Commander?”

“His AI told me. It shouldn’t be fake,” Qu Xiaowan said helplessly.

Yue Ran murmured, “Then why did you…”

Qu Xiaowan covered her face with a pillow. “How would I know? I simply picked up a beastman in the corridor and it’s that big shot!”

This was much more troublesome than a divorce!

Yue Ran asked nervously, “Did he say anything to you? Did he flare up at you when he was sober after his manic period eased?”

Qu Xiaowan mumbled, “No, I woke up first and ran away…”

The mother and daughter looked at each other and were silent for a long time. In the end, Qu Xiaowan jumped up from the sofa. “Forget it. I’m going to die no matter what. Why don’t I contact him? I’ll apologize to him and try my best to satisfy him if he wants compensation. I can get a divorce immediately too.”

Although she could not bear to part with that cute young man, beauty was worthless in front of her life! Moreover, Qu Xiaowan did not want to bring any trouble to the Qu Family. Perhaps there was already trouble, but she had to think of a way to remedy it!

Yue Ran did not have any good ideas either. She said, “Then send him a message and discuss it properly?”

Qu Xiaowan replied, “Mm…”

Although their AIs did not add each other as friends, their marriage was established. This was much more useful than being friends. They could forget about deleting it unless they divorced.

Qu Xiaowan mustered her courage and typed a message for Jing Yu. She thought to herself, Should I just apologize? I shouldn’t have gotten him to marry me? Isn’t it too stiff? No! Why don’t I say that I didn’t help him ease it on purpose because he was in a manic period and looked too uncomfortable? No, what if the other party wants to silence me because I saw this big shot’s uncomfortable state?

On the other side, Azure Dragon recognized that Qu Xiaowan’s dialog box was showing that she was typing. It said excitedly, “Master, Madam is sending you a message! She’s been editing for a long time. Does she want to send you a long message!?”

On the aircraft, Jing Yu opened the dialog box between the two of them.

Although his facial features were the same as Ah Yu’s, his temperament was completely different. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were cold. Even though he was not wearing a mask like before, he still exuded a cold aura.

Jing Yu’s gaze landed on the dialog box. He suddenly realized that the typing notification had disappeared. The other party did not send him a single punctuation mark after waiting for a while.

Azure Dragon asked, “… Could Madam be shy?”

Jing Yu’s eyes turned cold. “I want to see His Majesty in 10 minutes.”

“Yes!”

There was still a certain distance from District One. Azure Dragon didn’t dare to be distracted anymore. It focused on controlling the aircraft and drove towards the palace in District One. At nine minutes and fifty-five seconds, the aircraft landed.

Jing Yu walked steadily towards the palace. Everyone nearby looked at him in surprise. The First Commander was not wearing a mask?

Jing Zeyi was also shocked when he saw him, but he was more worried about his health.

“Uncle, how’s your health? What’s going on?”

“I led people to eliminate the Zergs around the star field. On the way back, the military doctors on the ship were infected by the Zergs, causing chaos. The aircraft crashed. But before it crashed, the eggs had already been destroyed.” Jing Yu recounted what happened expressionlessly.
