Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 12: It Was His Majesty Who Granted My Marriage Request!
If the Main System had a physical body, it probably would have twitched at the corner of its mouth by now. Fortunately, it didn’t have one.
Bai Ze: "Commander Gu, may I ask what you need me for?"
"Last night, did you approve my marriage application?"
"Yes... His Majesty ordered me to approve it!"
Just as Gu Zilan was drinking coffee at this moment, he sprayed it out, and the robot Aiwei immediately passed him a handkerchief with its mechanical arm.
Wiping the coffee from the corner of his mouth, Gu Zilan asked in a displeased tone, "Bai Ze, what are you talking about?"
Bai Ze: "Last night, I received Commander Gu’s marriage application with a female about to turn twenty years old. At the time, I asked you, but you let Aiwei inform me to proceed according to the rules. As per the rules, Commander Gu and that young lady meet the marriage requirements, so I approved it."
The blame was shifted so swiftly that the handsome and young Emperor was left speechless!
Gu Zilan quickly turned to Gu Jue, "Uncle, I was worried about your disappearance at the time, I didn’t realize it was your application..."
Gu Jue, however, was unfazed. He picked up the coffee passed to him by the mechanical arm and took a sip, saying, "Neither did I."
During the Manic-Depressive Period, a Beastman’s mindset reverts to that of a child, or rather, to the most insecure period of their life.
At that time, Gu Jue’s exclusive medicine was destroyed due to the crash of his aircraft.
He had seen a wedding dress on a billboard and, looking at the girl in the white wedding gown, he became entranced.
Somehow, he ended up at the wedding of that couple.
What happened afterwards was a complete blur...
Slim, fair fingers tapped on the arm of the sofa one after another. The study was so quiet that Aiwei didn’t dare to move its mechanical arm freely, fearing even a slight sound might arise.
After a while, Gu Zilan cleared his throat and said, "Uncle, this is my fault. I’ll have Bai Ze annul your marriage right away and then go explain to that girl..."
"There’s no need."
Gu Zilan: ???
Just then, Gu Jue’s light-brain rang. It was the adjutant reporting that traces of Star Thieves had been found in the third sector.
"Good, I’ll be right there."
Gu Jue stood up, picked up his dark blue military cap, nodded to Gu Zilan, and walked outside.
As his uncle walked away, Gu Zilan immediately said to Aiwei, "Send me all of that girl’s information!"
Bai Ze: "Your Majesty, I’m still here. I can send it directly to you, as I have the most complete information."
Gu Zilan sneered, "Oh, that reminds me, you are still here!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Bai Ze: "... Your Majesty, you are the most honorable Emperor, and should not mix public and private matters. Besides, I believe Commander Gu must be quite satisfied with his new bride, your Auntie."
"Oh?"
Gu Jue was actually already forty years old in physiological age.
For many years, he had worn a mask and had never thought about marriage.
Gu Zilan already had a child, yet his uncle remained a bachelor.
He had suggested several times that his uncle find a suitable partner to marry, but each time he was refused.
So, this time, was the Gu Family’s iron tree finally going to bloom?
Gu Zilan said, "Bai Ze, send me all the information on Su Wan, the most detailed ones!"
"Yes, my esteemed Emperor."
**
Su Wan didn’t send a single word to Gu Jue.
What was there to send?
Every sentence was problematic, it was better to say nothing at all.
Meet force with force, meet wit with pluck. At worst, it would just be a divorce!
