With almost no hesitation, Shen Que put on his outer robe and matching jewelry, then turned around and said, "Let's go."
Anne glanced down and said, "Mrs. Ai Fan asked you not to bring the terminal."
After a brief hesitation, Shen Que untied the still flashing terminal on his wrist and placed it on the table.
Only then did Annie turn sideways and gesture "please".
"plz follow me."
…
In the courtyard of Zhileyuan.
The moonlight shines on the blooming night lilies.
Ai Fan, wearing a moon-white long dress, sat in the semi-open restaurant by the pool. In front of her were exquisite meals and a hand-painted enamel teapot that looked very valuable.
Under the silver light, the lord's wife tapped the table lightly with her slender fingers, waiting for her guests calmly and elegantly.
Shen Que bowed and saluted: "Mrs. Ai Fan."
Ai Fan paused tapping the table and looked up.
"Commander Shen, why are you so distant? You've been here for so many days, and you're still using the same name as a servant?"
Shen Que was slightly stunned, lowered his eyes, and changed his words: "Mother."
With a smile on his lips, Ai Fan's eyes fell on the ruby between Shen Que's eyebrows.
The high-quality pigeon blood red adds a touch of bright color to Omega's pale face.
If she remembered correctly, she had seen this stone on the list of the last Golden Butterfly auction.
The starting bid is 100,000 star coins.
Pei Ji had good taste in choosing this kind of junk that had no use other than decoration.
Just like his prodigal father.
Without giving up his seat to Shen Que, Ai Fan raised his hand, signaling him to end the long salute.
This scene seemed to return to the wedding, Shen Que stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at Ai Fan on the stairs.
The wife of the Lord of Baisha Star exudes a calm and elegant temperament, like a trickle of water flowing out of the desert.
But there was a hint of coldness between his brows.
The tail of the narrow eyes was sharp, like a knife that could penetrate a person, piercing straight into Chen Que.
"You look much better." Ai Fan said casually.
Shen Que replied politely: “The general takes good care of me.”
"You're quite good at speaking up for him."
Ai Fan raised his head and looked Shen Que up and down.
"I suppose the servants take good care of you?"
Shen Que's eyes flickered.
"The servants are indeed very attentive, and the Admiral also...cares about me very much."
Ai Fan gave a cold smile.
"Oh? He cares about you, cares about you, and even stood you up at the wedding?"
Very aggressive words pierce the eardrums.
Chen Que's handsome eyebrows were wrinkled.
Ai Fan maintained his smile.
"I don't mean anything else, Commander Shen."
"Pei Ji was wrong in that matter. Abandoning his Omega at such an important occasion as a wedding is extremely irresponsible. If I were you, I would at least make him apologize to me publicly on the All-Star Network. Did you ask him to apologize to you? Or even give you an explanation?"
She studied the young Omega.
"Or... you don't care at all and don't care what he does to you?"
Shen Que's heart sank.
He raised his head to meet the lord's wife's gaze, a cold light flashing in his deep black eyes.
"I didn't ask Pei Ji to apologize, mother, but I have the ability to judge whether he lied to me."
"As Pei Ji's Omega, my responsibility is to maintain this marriage."
His posture was straight and his voice was clear and cold.
"As for how he treats me, whether I care or not...that's a private matter between us, not worth discussing here."
"responsibility?"
Ai Fan repeated these two words.
She seemed to find it very interesting. She arched her eyebrows and asked slowly and seriously:
"So, Commander Shen, in your eyes... this marriage, including Pei Ji... is solely your responsibility?"
Shen Que raised his chin and replied coldly and arrogantly: "Isn't it?"
"This marriage was ordered by the Queen."
It has nothing to do with feelings or love.
"It is my responsibility to become Pei Ji's Omega and accept everything he gives me."
The evening breeze blows across the plump petals of the lotus.
This caused the intricate ornaments on the two people to make crisp jingling sounds.
Shen certainly didn't like these heavy and unnecessary accessories. They made movement inconvenient and too conspicuous.
But this was what Pei Ji prepared for him. His Alpha liked to dress him up like a doll, so he accepted it.
After a moment of silence.
Ai Fan suddenly raised the corner of his mouth: "Your view on marriage is very similar to mine."
"I don't believe in any lasting emotions."
"Even if it's the so-called destiny between AOs, I don't believe it."
Ai Fan said slowly.
"The markings can be cleaned and the glands can be removed."
"The only things that can maintain a marriage for a long time are responsibility and interests."
She gestured to the seat next to her.
"Would you like some tea?"
"You must be tired after standing for so long."
The solemn atmosphere seemed to collapse in an instant.
Shen Que lowered his eyes, pressed his thin lips into a line, and shook his head.
"It's okay... Mother, I can hold on."
Ai Fan smiled and said, "I don't have the bad taste to punish patients, Shen Que, I invited you to dinner."
"It's cold at night, don't be stubborn."
The change in address seemed to mean something, and even the tone of voice became gentler.
Shen Que hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.
Ai Fan and Chen Que were both talkative while eating. After dinner, apart from the occasional chirping of insects by the pool, the only sound was the crisp clatter of cutlery.
