Fissure healing

The parliament has to deal with many bills every year. Wei Shao searched according to the summarized key information and did not find any records related to Marshal Carlos in the database.

This is also expected.

The House of Lords is mainly composed of the elite class and the elite aristocracy, and it produces the cabinet, and all major bills are submitted there.

The House of Commons where Wei Shao was located only dealt with private bills proposed by representatives of local groups, institutions, and male insects, as well as some mixed bills with lesser impact.

Wei Shao was temporarily unable to confirm whether Marshal Carlos had really committed treason as claimed, but in any case, the relationship between Carlos and Philo could not be exposed.

The old emperor threw him into the powerless House of Commons, guarding against him like a thief...

Tsk.

Wei Shao turned around in his chair, and before he could think clearly, a communication popped up.

He glanced at the notes, answered the call lazily, "Hello."

"Mr. Luo Fei, what have you thought about the acquisition?" There was a subtle hint of anxiety in the other party's voice.

As for the "Luo Fei" he mentioned, it was naturally Wei Shao's pseudonym.

Wei Shao said with a fake smile: "Mr. Eris, I talked you into giving in even though my lips were worn out. Now the new bill is coming down. Do you think I am a fool?"

It was not a pleasant thing to say, but Eris on the other end of the line could not get angry.

Eris had run a small freight company in the Booker star field for many years. He had some connections in the House of Commons and knew that the Booker star field was about to increase the number of route charging nodes and transportation taxes. The male son of the director of the rival company married the female daughter of the star field chief. The company's business performance had not been good in recent years, and with this incident, it was only a matter of time before it faced a crisis.

He originally wanted to transfer as much equity as possible at the original price before the news leaked out, but unfortunately, the people in the industry were not stupid and no one was willing to take over this mess. Only Luo Fei, an outsider who was unfamiliar with the Booker star field, foolishly took the bait.

The deal was almost done, but the House of Representatives announced the news ahead of time and the contract wasn't signed yet. Luo Fei simply changed his mind, which led to today's communication.

Eris wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Luo Fei, although the charging points have been increased, our company has a solid foundation and will not let you suffer any loss. At most, we will earn a little less - the salary of the grassroots employees will be deducted, and we will make up for it."

Wei Shao said lightly: "Mr. Eris, if the business was so good, you wouldn't choose to transfer it."

Eris smiled apologetically: "You're right, but we didn't know that something like this would happen... So what do you mean?"

"Maybe you could consider a 40% discount." Wei Shao said half-seriously.

Eris's breathing suddenly became heavier: "Mr. Luo Fei, are you kidding me?"

"I never joke, Mr. Eris. I'm a stock trader and don't understand the principles of running a company. I can only see its market value curve in the next six months, not how much room for growth it has." Wei Shao's tone remained unchanged, "Do you have the confidence to restore this company to the level it was five years ago?"

Eris clenched her teeth and said nothing.

Of course he had no choice. The Star Domain Governor submitted this bill to the House of Commons, which was clearly aimed at him.

By transferring the company, he can also get a sum of money and have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

He originally thought that Mr. Luo Fei was a sucker, but in this situation, how could he not know that the other party had planned this out? All his previous grandiose words were nothing but a joke in the eyes of the other party.

But the price offered by the other party is currently the highest among all the parties.

Listening to the silence on the other end of the line, Wei Shao smiled softly: "Mr. Eris, what do you think?"

Eris' voice was a little deep: "I demand to sign the contract tomorrow."

Obviously he was afraid that Wei Shao would go back on his word again.

Wei Shao was too impatient. He shook his head and tapped his knees with his fingertips happily:

"Well, happy cooperation, Mr. Eris."

At the same time, Philo, who had just completed his mission, was on his way back.

Several female soldiers were chatting in the carriage. Some of them talked about how their male masters spent money lavishly and complained all the time, and as a result, they were beaten up by their single teammates.

"Damn it, if you keep showing off we'll tear your insect head off!"

Ludel glanced at the absent-minded Fei Luo, hooked his shoulder, and winked at the female soldiers who were chatting nonsense: "The male master of our admiral's family is still good at living. Last time, I saw His Excellency Wei Shao comparing where to buy things at the supermarket to find the biggest discount."

The group of soldiers immediately understood and replied, "I've seen that too! I also heard from Lao Mao at the supermarket that before the general and Wei Shao got married, Wei Shao blocked the door with his bare hands to stop Lao Mao from closing the store in order to buy medicine for the general."

"Damn it, will that stubborn old man Mao agree to this?"

"Nonsense, Lord Wei Shao broke the door open until his hands were covered in blood. Lao Mao is stubborn but not bad, so of course we opened the door for him."

"sky……"

Philo lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes moved slightly when he heard the words. Before he could open his mouth, a special prompt sounded from the terminal.

The eyes of several subordinates around him immediately flashed with gossip.

Philo raised his finger and opened the message directly.

During this period, Wei Shao's frequency of sending him messages did not decrease, but his tone of voice had changed a lot. It was no longer like the tone when they first got married... and there was nothing to avoid listening to.

"Dear Mr. Philo, your partner transferred two thousand nine hundred from the joint account at 2:59 this afternoon..."

The intelligent insect voice was still broadcasting, and Philo stared at the floor of the carriage without any reaction.

The subordinates thought that this Lord Wei Shao was actually quite spendthrift, but that was okay, since they, the general, had no shortage of money anyway.

"...Ten thousand Sat coins." The intelligent insect voice smoothly sent the last unit into the ears of several eels.

“Puff——!” Ludel, who was drinking water, sprayed out, “Mr. Duo?!”

Philo turned off the terminal without much interest and said calmly, "It should be buying stocks. He always likes it."

stock? ! What’s the difference between that and gambling! And invest so much at one time!

Several subordinates who had lost money buying stocks screamed in their hearts, but when they saw Philo's calm expression, they held back.

They exchanged glances and thought sympathetically that it seemed that the admiral's family also had its own problems.

So much money... Will the admiral have to sleep on the street tomorrow?

“Click.”

Pushing open the bathroom door, Wei Shao didn't turn on the light. He walked through the darkness while drying his hair and went straight to the bedroom door.

During the entire process, he made very soft sounds, perhaps because he didn't want to disturb the person on the bed or because he didn't want to create unnecessary communication.

But none of them worked out.

The moment I turned the door handle, a pair of hands tightly wrapped around my waist.

Wei Shao stiffened slightly.

Philo pressed against his back, feeling the steady heartbeat coming from his chest, neither speaking nor letting go.

Wei Shao had no choice but to turn around, lowered his eyes and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"It's late," Philo looked at him and asked softly, "Are you busy again?"

This cautious and tentative tone sounded very pitiful, as if Wei Shao was a scumbag who had something to hide and was deliberately hiding from his wife.

Unfortunately, Wei Shao had nothing to hide, and now he didn't think Fei Luo was really pitiful, so he didn't answer directly, but lowered his eyes and asked calmly: "Didn't you just do it yesterday? Are you uncomfortable again?"

Philo lowered his head and bit his wrist, in protest of his straightforward and somewhat ruthless words.

Feeling a stinging pain on his skin, Wei Shao frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

It was obviously he who bit the person, but there was a hint of sadness in Philo's eyes. He asked back, "Is it not possible to not feel uncomfortable?"

Wei Shao suddenly raised his hand and turned on the night light. The dim warm light suddenly enveloped them. He stared at Philo's face, as if he wanted to see through him.

After a while, he smiled for the first time tonight, a deep smile that did not reach his eyes: "That's fine, but non-comforting sex is not a marital obligation, Philo, what is this?"

Philo's pupils froze slightly, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

Wei Shao suggested in a tone no less contemptuous than when he negotiated with Eris: "I've been thinking about it these past two days. We can start by being friends with benefits."

Philo stared at him in disbelief: "You want to be my sex partner?"

"Don't want to?" Wei Shao's smile faded.

"Wei Shao, we don't have to—"

"I hate people lying to me, Luo Luo," Wei Shao looked him straight in the eye, "Your trust in me is a bit low for now, and I don't want to be in a relationship with fear."

Philo's chest was heaving violently, and it was unclear whether it was because of anger or something else.

After a while, he asked, "How long will this relationship last?"

Wei Shao tapped his heart and said, "Look at you. Perform well."

Fei Luo bit his lip and was silent for a long time, his eyes stubborn: "Wei Shao, I can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to mention it to me..."

divorce.

Wei Shao certainly understood what he hadn't said yet, and he raised the corner of his lips secretly in his heart, but his face was still nonchalant: "Well...if you want to leave, leave early."

As soon as he finished speaking, his instep was stepped on hard. Philo's face showed annoyance, and it was obvious that he couldn't stand the word "divorce".

Wei Shao was not angry and touched the back of Fei Luo's neck.

Fei Luo sat on his legs, held his shoulders and pushed him onto the bed. Wei Shao quickly stretched out his hands to support his body: "What are you doing?"

Philo's thin lips opened and closed: "Do what a fuck buddy should do."

"..." Wei Shao was choked by his own words and asked dryly, "Won't it be uncomfortable if it's too frequent?"

Philo pursed his lips and said nothing.

Wei Shao reached out and pulled him into the quilt: "From now on, in non-comforting situations, I will have the final say. Take a rest today."

Philo was forced to lie on his back and looked at him sideways: "Hasn't it always been you who has the final say?"

Wei Shao raised his eyebrows, disagreeing: "Really? Am I the one who keeps shouting that I can't do it anymore?"

Philo's cheeks immediately burned, and he stiffly retorted: "It's obviously you who always speaks no - I won't say it anymore in the future."

"…It's useless anyway." He closed his eyes in despair.
