After the Groom Ran Off, I Convinced a Military Commander to Marry Me - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: The 1,000 Years Old Iron Tree Is About to Bloom

Even though Jing Yu was expressionless, Jing Zeyi still knew how dangerous the process was. It must be very dangerous. He nodded and said, “No matter what, as long as Little Uncle is fine. Your manic period…”

Jing Zeyi had already learned from the adjutant that his uncle was found in a bridal lounge. He heard that two nobles from District Two were holding a wedding at that time, and his uncle was still in the manic period.

As his nephew, ahem, Jing Zeyi was very curious.

Jing Yu said calmly, “Your Majesty, please connect to Qilin.”

Jing Zeyi replied, “Okay.”

Qilin, who was suddenly connected by His Majesty, asked, “Your Majesty, what instructions do you have?”

Jing Zeyi said, “It’s my uncle who is looking for you.”

“…” Qilin.

If the main system had a body, the corners of its mouth would probably twitch. Fortunately, it did not.

Qilin asked, “Commander Jing, why are you looking for me?”

Jing Yu asked, “Were you the one who approved my marriage application last night?”

Qilin answered, “Yes… but His Majesty asked me to approve it!”

Jing Zeyi, who was drinking coffee, spat it out. Vic immediately controlled its mechanical arm and handed Jing Zeyi a handkerchief.

Jing Zeyi wiped the coffee from the corner of his mouth and said unhappily, “Qilin, what are you talking about?”

Qilin said in a businesslike manner, “Last night, I received a marriage application from the commander and a woman who was about to turn 20. I immediately asked you for instructions, but you asked Vic to inform me to do things according to the rules. According to the rules, that lady and the commander meet the marriage conditions, so I approved the application.”

The blame was pushed away so thoroughly that His Majesty could not say a word.

Jing Zeyi immediately looked at Jing Yu. “Little Uncle, I was worried about your condition at that time. I didn’t expect that the marriage application was yours…”

Jing Yu’s expression did not change. He took the coffee from the mechanical arm and took a sip. “I didn’t expect that either.”

During the manic period, beastmen’s mentality would return to their childhood, or rather, their most insecure period. Jing Yu’s exclusive potion had crashed with the aircraft. At that time, he happened to see the wedding photo on the billboard. He looked at the girl in the wedding dress in a daze. For some reason, he ran to the wedding event location. He could not remember what happened after that…

His slender fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa, and the study fell into a strange silence.

After a long time, Jing Zeyi coughed. “Ahem, Little Uncle, it’s all my fault. I’ll get Qilin to cancel your marriage immediately and find that girl to explain—”

Jing Yu interrupted, “It’s fine.”

Jing Zeyi: “???”

At this moment, Jing Yu’s AI suddenly rang. The adjutant reported that he had discovered the whereabouts of the galactic bandits in District Two.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.”

Jing Yu stood up, picked up his dark blue military cap, nodded at Jing Zeyi, and left.

Jing Zeyi watched his uncle leave and immediately said to Vic, “Send me all the information about that girl!”

Qilin said, “Your Majesty, I’m still here! I have the most complete information. I can send it to you directly!”

Jing Zeyi sneered. “Yes, I would have forgotten that you’re still here if you didn’t say anything. You’re still here!”

Qilin said, “… Your Majesty, you’re the most respected person in the Federation of China. You can’t take revenge for personal grudges! Moreover, I think Commander Jing is very satisfied with his new wife, who is also your Little Aunt.”

Jing Zeyi murmured, “Oh?”

Jing Yu was already 40 years old. All these years, he had been wearing a mask to cover his face and had never thought of getting married.

Jing Zeyi already had his own child, but his uncle was still alone. He had suggested many times to let his uncle find a suitable partner to marry, but he had rejected them all. Was the thousand-year-old iron tree going to bloom this time1?

Jing Zeyi said, “Qilin, send me all of Qu Xiaowan’s information immediately. I want the most detailed information!”

“Yes! Your Majesty,” said Qilin.

***

In the end, Qu Xiaowan did not post a single word. There was something wrong with every sentence she thought about, so she might as well not post it! Let’s leave it at that. At most, they would just get a divorce!

At the thought of a divorce, Qu Xiaowan asked her mother, “Mom, do you really want to divorce my father? Although I can’t stand him treating Qu Xiaoman well, I don’t think Qu Xiaoman can be his daughter. Didn’t you secretly do a genetic comparison when you adopted her?”

Moreover, from their facial features, there was nothing similar between the two of them unless Qu Xiaowan’s genes had mutated, and the mutation was very big.

Yue Ran frowned and said, “I know, but he’s too good to Qu Xiaoman! Qu Xiaoman was clearly behind Yi Han’s failure to rush over yesterday! Your father actually could not distinguish right or wrong and said that you’re insensible! I just can’t take that lying down!”
