The huge living room was terribly quiet. The Houston’s father and son were more serious than the other. Ji Feng silently found a place to sit down and regarded himself as invisible air. Fortunately, he soon saw the beautiful brown-eyed boy trotting down from upstairs, and then happily whispered to the Marshal, “Father, I’ve called Second Brother already.”
“En.”
Then a smart1 wheelchair came into Ji Feng’s view.
“Older Brother~” The beautiful young boy seemed as if he wanted to help, but was stopped in his tracks by a cold look. After hesitating for a while, he glanced at Ji Feng and then sat back on the sofa silently.
Ji Feng: ? ? ?
The first thing that landed on Ji Feng, was a pair of eyes that were as bright and deep as a galaxy; just like a deep blue galaxy filled with twinkling stars. But when one took a closer look, it resembled more like the icy blue from the deep sea, as if one could feel its freezing coldness at a glance.
Ji Feng had to admit that Moore deserved the title of the most beautiful Ger on the planet. Even if he had seen Moore’s photos and videos on the Star Network before, he was still shocked after seeing the real person, especially that pair of dark blue eyes. His eyes were so dazzling and it matched his natural silver-white hair perfectly. At least in the hundreds of years before this, he had never seen such a good-looking man, or more accurately, a Ger.
It was just that the icy aura coming from him was really overwhelming, especially those eyes2. As beautiful as they were, but they seemed to hide a deadly blade of ice, making people yearn to take a second look yet fearful of getting closer.
Even if he was sitting in a wheelchair with a thick plaster cast on one leg, the youngest and most beautiful Major General of Lopa Star sat upright, the air of a military soldier exuded from the inside out. Even the buttons on his spotless white shirt were meticulously adjusted.
This was the Lopa Star SSS-Class Mecha Male God, the Second Son of the Imperial Marshal and Ji Feng’s marriage partner, Major General Moore Houston.
With only one glance, Moore Houston’s gaze moved away from Ji Feng. There was not a trace of ripples in the deep blue eyes until his gaze slowly reached Marshal Wip.
“Father?” The voice might be pleasing to the ear, but people were more mindful of his expressionless face.
Marshal Wip glanced at Ji Feng and as if he would die if he didn’t give others a shock, said “This is your husband. He’s here to pick you up.”
Ji Feng who was suddenly being @3: En???
“Father!” Moore didn’t even look at Ji Feng, but a few cracks suddenly appeared on his expressionless face and his deep blue eyes faintly revealed his suppressed rage, “Do you have to humiliate me like this?”
“Moore!” Marshal Wip hadn’t even opened his mouth before Rolt hurriedly interjected, “Watch how you speak to Father!” However, Moore just stared at Marshal Wip stubbornly.
Marshal Wip was as calm as ever, “I already said it a long time ago. If you can’t choose someone you like by the age of twenty-six, then I will apply for a Main Brain Match for you, and you did not object to it.”
“But I simply do not want to get married!” Moore’s frosty expression could not hide his anger, “I don’t need to get married! I think I should be able to have the right to choose, right?” Not only the high-ranking Major General Moore, but every person on Lopa Star had this right.
Wip chuckled lightly, somewhat carrying a sense of irony, “Do you have it?” Born to the Houston Family, how could there be any right to choose?
It was a pity that the angry Moore didn’t notice the helplessness in his father’s eyes. At this moment, he was just focusing on letting out years worth of resentment and grievances he had carried in his heart.
“Hah, I know that you haven’t liked me since I was young. No matter how hard I worked or how good I am, it will all be useless; but I never thought that you would humiliate me in this way! Don’t you think that you are being cruel? It is as cruel as giving up my dad back then!”
“Moore!”
“Enough!”
The Houston’s father and his eldest son said this almost at the same time. In an instant, there was an extreme amount of tension in the air. Everyone’s expressions, except Ji Feng’s, changed. Of course, the beautiful boy was scared.
Rolt gave Moore an anxious and reproaching look, then looked at his father worriedly. However, Moore was dead set on staring at his father with slightly reddened eyes, without any intention of retreating. The father and son fell in a short period of confrontation.
Ji Feng silently looked at the four person father and son group, trying to minimize his sense of existence, but he also got some information. There was indeed a problem with the matching of their partners. He didn’t know how deep the water was, but it was for certain that both parties were forced.
Marshal Wip had a dark expression on his face. His eyes were full of changing emotions and he was obviously agitated by Moore’s words. But Ji Feng saw some hidden forbearance and helplessness in Wip’s eyes. In the end he did not explain himself, he just continued to speak with a dark face.
“The result of the Main Brain Matching has been out for half a month, do you really think it is useful to escape? Are you trying to make the whole planet think that the Main Brain Matching is a joke?”
“Also, as a Major General, you blatantly defied orders and approached the Black Hole situation. If it weren’t for your Elder Brother catching up in time, do you think that you can still sit here?” Marshal Wip shot a threatening look, his serious face filled with anger, “Defied a superior’s orders, an impulsive and reckless decision regardless of the consequences; do you still remember that you are a soldier! Are you worthy of even being a soldier?!”
Moore clenched his teeth without a word, but the hand was tightly gripping onto the wheelchair, as if he wanted to break it. Rolt felt a little soft-hearted for Moore, “Father, Moore did so because of Dad’s……”
“Enough, don’t explain it for him!” Wip had a sharp look on his face, and in the end, Rolt could only helplessly shut his mouth. Marshal Wip immediately said to Moore, “This happened at just the right time, you can go and take this chance to reflect properly!”
Moore was forced into a marriage just like the Marshal and was suspended after making a mistake. He was also severely injured and had a strained relationship with his father… It seemed that this Major General was not as glamorous as the celebrity that was written on the Star Network—— Ji Feng, who was watching silently in a corner, summed it up.
But Marshal Wip, who he didn’t want to attract the attention of, suddenly turned his head and looked at Ji Feng, with a solemn look on his face, “Ji Feng, right? I will leave Moore to you. These years we’ve raised him to be too arrogant. I hope you can be more patient with him in the future.”
“Father!” Moore’s eyes were about to burst into flames. Just how much was his father unwilling to see him? How could he humiliate him so much in front of such an unbearable outsider?
Ji Feng, who was an onlooker, was suddenly targeted. His face was full of confusion.
Fortunately, Marshal Wip didn’t seem to need his answer as he turned around and said to Lieutenant General Rolt, “Rolt, send them to the Civil Affairs Bureau and send them home after completing the formalities.”
So ruthless!
Normally, both parties must give a reply within three days after the Main Brain Match. However, half a month after the match was announced, there was no news from the sensational Major General Moore. So some people thought that this was the first time in history the Main Brain System played a joke on them. Of course there were many speculations about it. Although there was no news about the authentication of the relationship, there was also no reply from the Houston Family that they had rejected it, so the result of the marriage was still valid.
But even Ji Feng did not expect it at all, that the Imperial Marshal would be so absolute. If the match was considered to be an engagement, then once they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to verify their marriage status, they would be iron-clad husbands4.
There was no father who did not love his children, let alone this sixty-odd years old Marshal. In the eyes of the old Imperial Marshal, Ji Feng saw the helplessness and tolerance of a father.
So Ji Feng couldn’t understand. What was it that forced a father to make such a choice? Who was behind this ridiculous marriage that even the Imperial Marshal couldn’t refuse?
However, not everyone could be as calm as Ji Feng, who had lived for more than 300 years; not to mention that he was a bystander who was not disturbed by emotions. Rolt was helpless and had no choice but to suppress it deep in his heart, then he finally bowed his head in front of his father, “Yes, Father.”
Moore stared at his father firmly, never looking at Ji Feng from the beginning to end. The deep blue eyes that looked like the stars floating in the galaxy, had finally swallowed up the anger and the pain all together. Ji Feng heard him calmly say.
“Okay, Father, since you desire so, then I’ll do as you wish.”
So in this way, Ji Feng once again boarded the supersonic car belonging to Lieutenant General Rolt, but this ride also came with a glacier-like Major General Moore Houston, who was about to become his true legal partner.
The three men were quiet and the cold aura that the silent Moore exuded, seemed to freeze the entire sonic car.
In the end, it was Lieutenant General Rolt who broke the awkward silence that was about to turn solid. Ji Feng didn’t feel much better by the action, because Rolt’s deep eyes fell on him with a stern look.
“I don’t know why the Main Brain chose you or why my father insisted on this absurd matching,” Rolt said coldly, “But obviously, you are not worthy of my brother at all.”
Ji Feng raised his eyebrows, “Don’t you see it? I was also forced.”
Rolt’s expression darkened, “Don’t f*cking act so recklessly!”
In his opinion, a character like Ji Feng being able to be matched up with his brother was like a miracle, something that was beyond Ji Feng’s wildest imagination. But looking at this ignorant man, the reaction from the start was so indifferent, as if he was not at all happy to marry the planet’s most beautiful and noble young master of the Houston Family.
Rolt held back his belly full of anger, slowly leaned towards Ji Feng, staring at him, and said in a low voice that seemed to come from hell, “I’m warning you, don’t be delusional. If you dare to do anything to my brother, I will definitely get you to pay it back a hundred times.”
With the reputation of Lieutenant General Rolt, he could do just about anything. Ji Feng had no doubt about the credibility of his words, but he just looked at him indifferently, his eyes were so calm that it was sufficient to provoke the Lieutenant General Rolt who meant every single word..
In an instant, two equally tall men fell into a state of tension in an instant. They obviously had a difference in status that was as wide as Heaven and Earth, but they seemed to have an evenly matched terrifying temperament.
Right at this time, the sonic car stopped and they reached the Civil Affairs Bureau. Moore, who had not spoken a word, finally said, “Big Brother, you can go out first. I have something to say to him.”
Rolt was stunned and looked at Moore with confusion, but Moore didn’t explain. Rolt finally gave Ji Feng a warning stare, then he got up and out of the sonic car first.
Only Ji Feng and Moore remained in the huge space. Those serene blue eyes finally fell on Ji Feng again. There were still no waves in his eyes. It was as if he was facing an insignificant person, not a person who was about to enter the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married with him.
“Obviously, you and I are not suitable, but this marriage must be completed.” Moore declared indifferently. “Hence, after finishing the formalities, except for maintaining the marriage on the surface, both of us will not interfere in each other’s lives. We will divorce after a year and I’ll compensate you with 50 million Star Coins.”
Moore said concisely, simply and neatly. The ultra-smart ring on his finger beeped, then a transparent marriage agreement was quickly drafted.
“If you agree, we will authenticate it now. If you disagree, you can leave. I guarantee that neither my father nor my brother will make trouble for you.”
Ji Feng’s brows jumped and thought of the original owner of this body who only had savings of 50,000 Star coins after 30 years.
Besides, he really needed a lot of Star Coins to buy refining materials. 50 million for a year, wouldn’t he be considered a fool for rejecting it?
“Okay, I agree.”
His voice even contained a little happiness and Moore immediately regretted it a bit. Didn’t the information say that this person was smug and overly stubborn? How could he accept it so readily? He (MH) definitely must have offered too much.
The author has something to say:
Moore: I still suffered a nonsensical loss. If I had known better, I would have just offered 5 million.
Ji Feng: Actually I would have accepted it, even if you didn’t offer anything.
