Chapter 244 The Bully Miss's Forced Marriage, the Interstellar General Refuses to Divorce - 24
"General Li, what will you do with Alice?"
Li Xingyu pretended to be troubled and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "I'll marry Alice after I convince Mu Wanwan to divorce me! That would be fair to her."
The leader patted Li Xingyu on the shoulder. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't ordered you to marry Mu Wanwan, you should be with your lover right now."
"No, Chief. I know your difficulties. A single move by the Mu family can shake the entire planet. My marriage to Mu Wanwan is a temporary measure, so you don't need to blame yourself."
"You understand me so well! It's just that you've suffered. I promise I'll treat you and Alice better from now on!"
Li Xingyu thanked the leader, "However, Alice is still on Wuyong Planet and cannot return. What do you think is the best course of action?"
He chatted with the leader about various things, and finally the leader got to the point.
"My lord, I beg you, in consideration of my sacrifices for this vast planet, to rescue Alice!"
"Don't worry, your loved one was trapped on duty, and I will naturally rescue him safely."
The leader's assurance put Li Xingyu at ease.
After leaving the leader's place, he couldn't wait to get home. The thought of Mu Wanwan waiting for him at home quickened his pace.
As I opened the door, the long-awaited aroma of food wafted out.
He quickly found the person he had been longing for in the kitchen, and hugged her tightly from behind.
He rested his chin on her neck, inhaling her fragrance to recharge himself.
"Wife!"
From shock to delight, Mu Wanwan put down the shovel in her hand and slowly turned around, finally seeing the handsome face she had been longing for day and night.
She cupped his face in her hands, her eyes filled with deep affection.
"Xingyu, you're finally back!"
"Wanwan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Although Mu Wanwan loved him, she was still rational and clear-headed. She had vivid memories of his time with Alice on Wuyong Planet.
She pushed the person away forcefully, saying, "Let's eat first!"
The emptiness in his arms instantly filled him with a sense of loss. He followed Mu Wanwan and obediently sat down at the dining table.
Mu Wanwan set out the bowls and chopsticks for him, and then sat down herself. The two of them ate their meal quietly by themselves.
Li Xingyu kept glancing at Mu Wanwan out of the corner of his eye, but Mu Wanwan didn't even give him a proper look.
He was extremely anxious; what could he do if his wife ignored him? He wanted to ask for help, but he couldn't find anyone to turn to!
This was his first marriage, his first time having a wife! He had no experience whatsoever!
He finished his meal with trepidation and got up to help clear the table, but was ruthlessly rejected by Mu Wanwan.
Seeing her busy running around, I felt guilty and wanted to help her with some tasks, but she refused, saying she was in my way.
Even when she told him not to work, he wouldn't leave; he would stand behind her and wait for her.
Finally, just as she took off her apron, he hoisted her onto his shoulder and ran back into the house, leaving the milk cap outside just as she was about to enter.
Mu Wanwan thought he was driven by lust as soon as he got home, and was thinking of kicking him away later, but after he put her on the bed, he did not do anything drastic.
"Wanwan, I need an explanation!"
He sat down next to Mu Wanwan and reached out to hold her hands, but she ruthlessly pulled them away.
“Li Xingyu, you just proved Alice and you were innocent not long ago. Now you’re visiting another planet as husband and wife. Almost everyone on the vast planet knows that you and I, Mu Wanwan, are husband and wife!”
Mu Wanwan's unusual calmness made him uneasy and anxious; misunderstandings were inevitable in such a situation.
"Wanwan, you don't believe me?"
She was so angry she almost laughed. How could she possibly believe a man like that?
"Wanwan, my relationship with her was nothing more than a fling!"
Mu Wanwan couldn't understand why he and his subordinates needed to make such a high-profile, public announcement as a mere formality.
He placed his hands on her shoulders, knelt down, and looked her in the eye, meeting her gaze with utmost sincerity.
If you can play along with Alice, what about with yourself?
"I know that you and I are just putting on an act."
She gave a self-deprecating laugh and continued to mock herself, "So sincerity really can't be reciprocated! I shouldn't have believed your nonsense and agreed to give it a try. Let's get a divorce."
The two words Li Xingyu fears hearing most right now are "divorce".
Before he and Mu Wanwan even got their marriage certificate and held their wedding ceremony, he was constantly thinking about getting a divorce.
At some point, his and Mu Wanwan's identities were switched, and Mu Wanwan became the one who frequently mentioned the word "divorce."
"I disagree!"
Mu Wanwan kicked him in the chest. He groaned, and she quickly pulled her foot back, but Li Xingyu grabbed his foot and pressed it against his chest.
The air seemed to freeze. She tried to pull back her foot, but he held on tightly, his fingers occasionally stroking the back of her foot.
Her stammering question was like a deflated balloon, lacking any strength.
"You have other women, so why can't I get a divorce? You don't expect to keep your wife at home while having affairs on the side! Dream on!"
Li Xingyu was wronged by his wife, but he really had his reasons.
"Wanwan, Alice is currently being held captive on Wuyong Planet and cannot return!"
The little feet that had been kicking his chest stopped instantly. "Shouldn't you have come back together if you went together?"
Li Xingyu's face was bitter. He lowered his head and kissed her smooth back. "Wanwan, as the guardian of Haohan Planet, I bear a great responsibility and a heavy burden! If I take you to Wuyong Planet, you will not be the one to return today!"
Mu Wanwan seemed to understand a little bit! But she didn't know if it was as she thought.
She patted the spot next to her, and Li Xingyu, receiving the instruction and seeing that her attitude had softened, quickly moved his buttocks to the designated position.
"Holding the emperor to order the princes?"
Li Xingyu gently patted the top of her head and affectionately ruffled it. "Smart!"
Mu Wanwan hadn't considered this possibility at all. If what Li Xingyu said was true, the people of Wuyong Planet would definitely arrest her if they knew she was his wife.
"So, Alice is just a substitute for me?"
Seeing that the crisis between the two seemed to have been resolved, he felt much more at ease.
Standing close to his wife, he said, "Wife, as a member of the team, she is also carrying out a mission."
"You said that to make me feel better?"
Li Xingyu quickly denied it, saying, "What I said is true, but wife, as a general, there are many classified matters that I cannot reveal to you even a little bit, even though we are husband and wife. I hope you can understand me."
Mu Wanwan leaned against his shoulder. "Li Xingyu, I will try to believe you! We agreed that if there is any misunderstanding, we must explain it clearly. I can't let this mouth of mine go to waste."
