"Father, this is the lunch box you asked me to bring back from Xiaoyi."

Bai Li handed the lunch box to Bai Zhuo, said hello to his mother who was watching TV series on the sofa in the living room, and then raised his leg to go upstairs.

"You kid, you're in such a hurry as soon as you get back. Don't go upstairs. Yu Rou is not at home."

Seeing that his eldest son was in a hurry to find his partner as soon as he came back, Bai Zhuo quickly called out to him.

"Not at home? Did she go out to play? Then I'll go pick her up."

Having said that, Bai Li turned and walked towards the door.

"Stop right there."

Bai Zhuo shouted, causing Bai Li to stop.

"How long have you been in the Military and Political Department? Why are you still so irritable at home? You don't have the calmness you have at work?

Your partner is not at home, nor is she out playing; she has gone back to her mother's house."

"Back to her mother's home? Why would she go back to her mother's home for no reason? Did she go back alone? Was there anyone with her? How long has she been back?"

When Bai Li heard this, he became anxious and immediately wanted to go out to find his partner.

He was afraid that his friend would be bullied at his mother's home.

Bai Li's partner Yu Rou and Mei Ya, who previously tried to seduce Yin Yi, are cousins.

However, Meiya is the offspring of the main branch of the Ryan family, while Yu Rou is the child of a side branch of the Ryan family. Her parents are mediocre and have no great abilities, so they are not taken seriously in the ambitious Ryan family.

If they hadn't given birth to a female offspring, their family would have been kicked out of the family long ago.

Although females have a high status in the interstellar world due to their rarity, in the eyes of ambitious people, they are nothing more than tools that can be used.

The head of the Ryan family originally wanted Yu Rou to choose someone they liked as a partner so that the two families could form an alliance.

But I didn't expect that this female from the side branch who had always been well-behaved and obedient would actually rebel in the most important matter.

Not only did she not choose the person arranged by her family as her partner, but she also chose the eldest son of the Bai family, the political enemy of the Ryan family, as her partner. She also skipped the partner assessment and went straight to spouse registration.

The head of the Ryan family was furious, but he couldn't do anything about her.

After all, even if Yu Rou is a member of their family, she is a female. With the existence of the Female Protection Association, even her biological parents cannot force her.

In fact, the reason why Yu Rou chose Bai Li was because the two of them knew each other before and had a good impression of each other for a long time.

She chose him as her partner, firstly because she liked him, and secondly to escape the control of the Ryan family.

However, since she married Bai Li, she rarely returned to the Ryan family. Why did she go back this time?

Bai Zhuo looked at his son's worried face and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

It's really unbearable to watch. When this brat touches on his female, his brain seems to be hollowed out by the Zerg.

Bai Zhuo completely forgot that he and his son were actually the same kind of people.

"Meiya's coming of age day will be in two days. The Female Protection Association will hold a husband selection meeting for her. Yurou will go back to accompany Meiya."

One week before every female in the galaxy comes of age, she needs to be accompanied by a married female other than her mother for a period of time, which can be as long as a month or as short as a week.

If there is a qualified female in the family, the female in the family will accompany the baby. If there is no qualified female in the family, the Female Protection Association will arrange for someone to accompany the baby.

Meiya is the jewel in the crown of the head of the Ryan family, and was once the most beautiful female in the empire. Naturally, her coming-of-age day is much more lively than that of ordinary females.

The head of the Ryan family planned to hold a grand banquet for her to celebrate her coming of age.

Bai Li's partner Yu Rou is the only female in the Ryan family besides Meiya, and she already has a spouse, so the task of accompanying Meiya naturally falls on her.

During the time when a married female accompanies a female who is about to reach adulthood, her partner is not allowed to go with her. Therefore, even if Bai Li goes to the Ryan family now, she cannot even enter the door.

"Father, do you know which family the Ryan family plans to marry into?"

Since he couldn't see his partner for the time being, Bai Li had no choice but to stay and talk about business with his father.

"Meiya had publicly expressed her affection for Xiaoyi before, but that old man, Karl, would definitely not agree, right? There are only a few powerful families with unmarried orcs of marriageable age. It all depends on who Karl wants to form an alliance with."

This means that the Bai family has gained another political enemy.

Bai Zhuo sneered and said disdainfully: "Even if those families have orcs of the right age, it depends on whether they are willing to marry into the Ryan family.

Not to mention that guy Carl has always been arrogant and looked down on other families. Even Meiya, look at her reputation outside. Although females are rare, it doesn't mean that the noble beastmen will take any female one.

Bai Li thought of his sister-in-law who often made headlines in the interstellar news because of her arrogance and bullying of other females and orcs, and nodded in agreement.

Although females are rare in the empire, only nobles have the opportunity to become a female's partner, and commoners are not qualified to be a female's partner.

Therefore, the females whose photos can only be seen on the Starnet in the eyes of the common people are actually not much different from ordinary orcs in the eyes of the nobles.

They are even worse than orcs. After all, females are too delicate and timid. They will be frightened and cry if they are not careful. As their partners, orcs have to put everything aside to coax their females at this time.

After so many times, some orcs with bad tempers really can't stand it.

After all, there are always a few females in every noble family. Seeing them so often, it is naturally not surprising.

Therefore, when they are looking for a partner, they will consider many aspects instead of just looking for a female.

When some noble orcs don't meet the female they like, they prefer to marry primitive half-orcs. After all, half-orcs are not as delicate as females.

Not knowing what he was thinking about, Bai Li suddenly burst out laughing, then leaned over and looked at his father with a gossipy look on his face.

"Father, do you think that no orcs will participate in Miya's husband selection meeting? From what I know, few noble orcs can tolerate Miya's temper. Only commoners who don't usually see females would find her cute and straightforward."

"Her affairs have nothing to do with our family, so why should I worry about it? But I really hope no one will attend, so that old guy Karl can be embarrassed."

Unfortunately, this situation is unlikely to happen. After all, there is the Female Protection Association. At that time, they will definitely force some orcs to participate for the sake of female mental health.

But Bai Zhuo didn't care about these things. Anyway, his adult children already had partners and it was impossible for them to attend Meiya's husband-selection meeting.

The father and son chatted casually, and had no idea that a few days later the Ryan family would not only hold a coming-of-age party for Miya, but would also directly announce Miya's partner.
