Interstellar Marriage Guide-Chapter 6 - Mo Lin
Different from the bustling skyscrapers in the capital, the climate in Lyra is warmer and more humid, which is suitable for growing animals and plants. Many large farms and glass greenhouses for cultivating rare flowers and fruits dotted the road. Even the air seemed to be full of light fragrance.
The place where Princess Xiya lives is just behind a vineyard. She bought a separate piece of land here and built a private manor – a rural-style villa building, decorated with the lush flowers and trees all-around, giving the place a feeling of comfort and leisure.
When Luo Fei and Emil got out of the car, the housekeeper immediately stepped forward to greet them.
The old housekeeper also knew Luo Fei. He was about to bow to salute Luo Fei, when Luo Fei stretched out his hand to support him: “There’s no outsiders, so such etiquette can be waived.”
The housekeeper smiled and said, “Yes, First Prince. Please come in quickly. Madam has already prepared dinner.”
As soon as Luo Fei entered the door, Princess Xiya walked over, and raised her head to look at him. “Luo Fei, you’ve grown a lot taller. Last time I saw you, you were only a few centimeters taller than me. Now, I can only reach your chest.”
A 17 or 18 year-old alpha is still growing. And after not seeing him for a year and a half, the First Prince has actually grown more than ten centimeters taller, almost reaching his father’s height.
Luo Fei hugged her and said with a smile, “Auntie, are you feeling better?”
Xiya nodded and said, “I’m fine. How are your father and the others? I haven’t seen them for more than a year.”
“Don’t worry, they are all fine.” Luo Fei took out an exquisite box from his bag, and handed it to her. “By the way, this is a gift that my father asked me to bring to you.”
Xiya opened the box and found a very delicate ruby necklace containing a space with a smart medical mech, which can monitor the owner’s physical condition at any time. This is obviously a recently developed product, which is not yet available on the market.
Despite His Majesty Xize being busy with government affairs, he still thoughtfully sent her what she needed the most. When Xiya carefully put away the necklace, her eyes were a little moist. “It’s rare that he still remembers his sister.”
Luo Fei said: “Father is just too busy to get away. If you have a chance, you should go back to Capital Star to visit.”
Xiya nodded: “Yes, when I get better, I will definitely find time to go back.”
She took Luo Fei to the dining room. When he sat down, he saw a table filled with many dishes.
Xiya looked at Luo Fei lovingly and said, “Let’s eat first, I made these with my own hands.”
Luo Fei said helplessly: “Your health isn’t good. It’s better not to cook, just leave the cooking to the servants.”
Xiya replied: “It’s rare for you to come here, of course you have to try my handicrafts.” She brought Luo Fei’s favorite snacks in front of him, and seeing him looking around, she explained: “My husband isn’t at home at the moment. The company is very busy these days, and they went to the planting base on Cigar Galaxy, and haven’t come back yet.”
Emil followed up and said: “We are going to cooperate with Fengyang Group on a big project, so my father and elder brother went to investigate in person.”
Hearing this, Luo Fei couldn’t help but look back at him: “Cooperate with Fengyang Group?”
“Yes.” Emil explained, “You may not know much about the business world. In terms of intelligent programs, Fengyang Group is indeed the best at present. Our planting base plans to improve our intelligent programs, so my father reached a cooperation agreement with the Fengyang Group.”
Emil’s father is a well-known local wealthy businessman, who is in the food business. He owns countless farms and fruit plantations, and the sales of the food he makes rank among the top in the empire. Based on Emil’s description, the cooperation with Fengyang Group should be to introduce the other party’s intelligent management program, and join forces to improve processing efficiency.
Emil went on to say: “Because of this partnership, Mr. Mo invited us to his birthday party tomorrow. My father is in the Cigar Galaxy, and asked me to go on his behalf.”
“Don’t talk to Luo Fei about topics that he’s not interested in, and eat first, okay?” Princess Xiya looked at her son helplessly.
Luo Fei smiled slightly and said, “It’s okay, I’m interested.”
Princess Xiya was a little surprised: “Really? Are you also interested in doing business?”
Luo Fei said frankly: “I’m just very interested in Fengyang Group and the Mo family. I keep hearing this name recently.”
Xiya thought for a while and said, “The Fengyang Group is really famous. Mo Qiming, the current president, ranks in the top ten of the empire’s wealth list every year. I don’t know much about these business matters, but my husband has praised Mr. Mo, saying that Mr. Mo is very business-minded and can always seize the best business opportunities.”
Emil picked up a piece of beef and put it into her bowl, saying, “You don’t need to understand this. Father and I are responsible for making money, and you are responsible for spending it.”
Xiya laughed, and Luo Fei also curled his lips when he heard this.
When Princess Xiya married away, her family was reluctant to see her leave.
Fortunately, she met an alpha who cherishes and loves her very much, and her son is also filial, letting her live a peaceful life.
If father knows, he should be able to completely relax.
***
At noon the next day, Luo Fei and Emil came to the private estate of the Mo family.
The housekeeper stood at the door greeting incoming guests with a smile on his face. Emil walked up with his invitation letter before entering.
This private estate occupies a very large area, almost comparable to the palace. The architectural style of the manor is quite special – it does not have the resplendent nouveau riche characteristics that Luo Fei imagined, but is very delicate and elegant.
There is a stone bridge at the entrance, and a large artificial lake under the bridge, where many beautiful fishes live. The water of the lake is crystal clear, and the fish swam comfortably everywhere. Lush trees circle the lake, their branches and leaves swaying in the wind, with bursts of insect chirps.
Human life has long since entered the high-tech era. In order to save space, many homes in Capital Star are suspended in the air. However, the more people live in the cold mechanized city, the more they desire a pristine green ecological environment. As one of the most wealthy families in the empire, it is understandable that the Mo family’s residence is designed like this.
Luo Fei followed Emil across the stone bridge, and then walked a big circle along a distinctive stone road.
Surrounded by flowers and plants, it is like being in a garden.
Probably because there are too many green plants, even the air was extraordinarily fresh.
The two came to the villa under the guidance of the reception robot. Because the birthday banquet hadn’t started yet, the guests gathered in twos and threes to greet each other.
The rich ladies who came to this banquet were all dressed up. Not far away was an omega girl wearing so much precious jewelry that she almost turned into a walking jewelry sales mannequin. On the other side, several omegas gathered together discussing the latest fashion trend. And nearby, there was an alpha flirting with an omega, his actions very ambiguous.
Luo Fei glanced around lightly. Although they are all of the same age, these idiot rich second generations have no self-cultivation except for being rich. They are all rich and jaded, and they are full of failings. When encountering difficulties, they can only cry and run back to their parents for help. Instead of humans, they’re more like walking parasites.
Emil leaned into his ear and said, “Every omega here today is well-dressed, do you know why?”
Luo Fei raised his eyebrows: “Why?”
Emil smiled and said: “Because Mo Han, the young master of the Mo family, is currently single. Although these people have money in their families, they are far behind the Fengyang Group. If they can win the favor of young master Mo Han, then they don’t have to worry about money for the rest of their lives. If they can marry into Mo’s family, they will also be able to win their own family business.”
Luo Fei nodded — this kind of marriage in the business world is pretty normal.
Not just in the business world, there are also many mutually beneficial marriages among military and political families. In such a circle, marriage is often used as a weapon to achieve a family’s goals. But as a result, sincere feelings no longer matter compared to those so-called interests.
That’s why he admired his father very much.
Dad didn’t reveal his identity of the omega back then, but disguised himself as a beta to study in a military academy. As a prince, his father dared to be with an ordinary beta. This courage alone may not be achievable for other alphas.1Dad = Luo Yuan, Father = Xize (or Caesar). You can read their story in [ABO] Cadets
Probably because his father’s influence was too deep, it affected his own view of love.
He only hopes to find a partner whom he really likes and appreciates, no matter who the other party is.
——As the First Prince, he is capable enough to protect his lover, and he doesn’t need to marry anyone.
Luo Fei was bored seeing these omegas, who carefully dressed themselves up like goods for people to choose from in a mall, in order to please the young and old of the Mo family.
Thinking of this, Luo Fei lowered his voice and asked, “Mo Han is the Fengyang Group’s default heir?”
Emil nodded and said: “Yes, he is Mo Qiming’s son, and is quite handsome. Moreover, Mo Han is very capable. It is said that he had extremely high mental strength as a child, and has followed his father to help manage Fengyang since he was sixteen years old. In recent years, he supervised the development of many popular products. He’s only 19 years old now, but he holds more than 20% of the shares of Fengyang Group in his hand. It can be said that Mo Han’s status in the Fengyang Group is second only to his father Mo Qiming.”
According to Emil’s description, this Mo Han is really a talent.
But… 19 years old?
According to the materials handed over by the Omega Association that his father showed him that time, Mo Lin is also 19 years old, and his mental strength is also super high.
A little puzzled, Luo Fei asked: “Doesn’t Mr. Mo have an omega son named Mo Lin. Why is he the same age as Mo Han?”
Emil was taken aback, and immediately pulled Luo Fei aside.
“Speak quieter.” Looking around to see that no one noticed them, he leaned into Luo Fei’s ear and said softly: “Mo Han and Mo Lin are twins. Mo Han is the alpha brother, and Mo Lin is the omega brother. Mo Han’s outstanding ability is his father’s greatest pride, but Mo Lin… Cough, Mo Lin is a taboo that cannot be mentioned in the Mo family. It’s best you don’t mention him.”
“Can’t mention him?” Luo Fei frowned. ”Why?”
Emil coughed lightly and said, “His legs are disabled, and he has some issues. I heard he’s mentally ill.”
Luo Fei: “…”
So, when the Omega Association did genetic screening, it matched him with a “mental” patient with “disabled legs”?
