Second Marriage with the Alliance Marshal

C3

The waiter led the four to a small box on the second floor of the restaurant.

The top and east side of the box are made of special bullet-proof glass. One can enjoy the bright night sky and stars when looking up, and to the east, are the lights of thousands of homes in the city.

The glass is one-way, and people on the outside can’t see what’s going on inside.

“Xinghe, can you give a speech at this moment?” In the box, Cheryl held her chin in one hand and shook the goblet in the other.

Xu Xinghe gracefully put a piece of crayfish into his mouth, and said leisurely under the gazes of the other three: “This crayfish is not as delicious as the one I make. Although it is crispy and tender, it is a little greasy with sturgeon caviar and black truffle cheese. I’ll make a green apple jelly crayfish for you to try next time.”

undefinedCheryl: “…”

She looked at Xu Xinghe helplessly. “You know that’s not that I meant.”

“Oh, you’re talking about divorce.” Xu Xinghe stretched out his body like a lazy little leopard. “I don’t feel anything but relief. I feel like I’ve finally recovered my freedom.”

His previous title of “Mrs. General” brought many restrictions on his life and travel. Others only need to fill out a form online to travel across the galaxy, but he has to go through layers of paperwork and approval; the procedures are so troublesome that he simply gave up. Now that this identity is gone, these restrictions naturally disappear.

Vincent: “Then what are your plans for this weekend? Let’s find a place to relax?”

Xu Xinghe: “I don’t have any plans, but isn’t Cheryl going to take the second-level mecha engineer certificate? She should be busy now. And this guy—” He pointed to Lin Qi, who was scarfing food beside him. “Weren’t you complaining about the heavy tasks assigned by your tutor a few days ago? Do you have time on the weekend?”

Lin Qi made an “OK” gesture at his words with bulging cheeks and said vaguely: “I have no problem.”

Xu Xinghe smiled: “Wasn’t it you who was crying for mom and dad’s help in the group? Didn’t dad1 have to write a few pages of code for you himself? How is everything alright now?”

After two seconds, he said lazily: “I’m fine, really. Just do your own work first. Let me go home and sleep peacefully this weekend.”

Lin Qi put down the food in his hand, and wiped his mouth. “Well, instead of sleeping at home, why don’t you come to the school laboratory and help me?”

Xu Xinghe: “Go away!”

“Anyway, don’t stay at home by yourself. It’s better if you’re not bored and do something2.”

Xu Xinghe said strangely: “Why do you think I will do things?”

Lin Qi looked at him, and asked tentatively, “Aren’t you angry?”

The confused Xu Xinghe: “What anger? I haven’t had time to be happy over the divorce yet.”

“It’s not me… aren’t you angry about those messy reports online?”

“Huh?” Xu Xinghe was at a loss. “What reports? About me?”

Lin Qi was surprised: “Is the internet disconnected in your Ark? You don’t even know?”

Xu Xinghe rolled his eyes. “Why should I search for my own gossip online? Do I have nothing better to do… What do the reports say?”

Lin Qi shook his head. “Then you don’t need to know, I’m afraid you will directly hack them out of anger.”
