Chapter 34
After Lu Huai had almost finished cleaning up, he asked Osvid to find Jiang Yun.
Over the years, Osvid and Jiang Yun had only interacted at work. But every year on the twins' birthdays, Osvid would personally choose a gift for each of his two premature sons.
Jiang Yun extended his hand to Osvid: "Long time no see, General Osvid."
The tall and strong general bent down, lowering his height to below Jiang Yun's eye level.
Every time he met Jiang Yun over the years, no matter what rank was engraved on his epaulettes, Osvid always treated Jiang Yun with the courtesy of a lower-ranking Alpha toward a higher-ranking Omega.
"I'm late," Oswald only shook Jiang Yun's fingertips for a moment before immediately letting go, "I'm so sorry."
"Not too late." Jiang Yun said meaningfully, "It's much earlier than someone predicted."
Oswald asked, "Who is this someone you are talking about?"
Jiang Yun turned to look at the disguised Lu Huai, meaning: Do you want to explain yourself?
Just as Lu Huai was about to speak, a figure suddenly rushed out from the army: "——Dad!"
Before going out to meet people, Lu Chao finally tidied up his bird's nest-like hair.
When it comes to weathering the cold, teenagers always have an advantage. Wearing a hooded jacket, his running figure resembled the rising sun, his breath forming white clouds of mist behind him, and his blazing eyes seemed to defy the harshness of the low temperatures.
For a moment, Lu Huai thought he saw himself in high school.
Youth is vigorous, passionate and pure.
Except for one thing - probably because his parents died early and he was raised by his grandfather, even when he was ten years old, his eyes were not as... clear as Lu Chao's now.
This is the other child he and Jiang Yunsheng had.
Jiang Yun gave birth to a smaller version of him. It's really amazing.
But if he had a choice, he still hoped that the child would not be so much like him.
"Dad, how could you leave me and take Jiang Mu away alone!" Lu Chao wanted to cry, but he couldn't. "I was wrong! I will never stay up all night to watch TV series again!"
Lu Chao originally wanted to give his father a big hug regardless of anything, but when he met the eyes of the "strange man", it seemed as if someone pulled him back, causing him to stop inexplicably.
Who is this guy?
Why was she taller than him? Why was she looking at him with such... such a look that he couldn't find an adjective to describe?
So, after looking at each other in confusion with the little baby and the big baby, Lu Huai once again looked at each other in confusion with the last baby.
As he looked at it, Lu Chao gradually revealed an expression of confusion, as if he was trying hard to think.
Normally, he would feel uncomfortable and defensive when he saw a tall and handsome Alpha standing behind his father, but the picture of this Alpha and his father standing together didn't seem so unbearable?
What is the principle behind this?
Could this be the fate they talk about in those melodramatic dramas?
Lu Chao hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand hesitantly: "Hi?"
Lu Huai smiled and raised his hand like Lu Chao: "Hi."
Lu Chao looked Lu Huai up and down, and the more he looked, the more curious he became: "Are you the agent codenamed [Lover]?"
Lu Huai: "...Who said my code name is [Lover]?"
Jiang Yun: "...Who said his code name is [Lover]?"
Lu Chao was a little confused by the two adults' unanimous words: "That's what the Alpha that Jiang Mu brought back said."
Jiang Mu arrived a step later than his brother. When he heard Lu Chao say this, his brows furrowed. "That's Major Gu, not some Alpha I brought back."
In fact, Gu Xingzhou originally wanted to say that the code name of the other agent was "deceased husband." However, these two words were too easily associated with Colonel Lu, and Colonel Lu could not reveal his full identity for the time being.
Then, Major Gu thought again, there was no doubt that Colonel Lu was Foreign Minister Jiang's husband, and the relationship between the two seemed to be quite good.
Finally, Major Gu wanted to show off his strength in [Non-Violent Induction] and slightly retaliate against Colonel Lu for his previous verbal attack on him.
Taking all the above into consideration, Lu Huai changed from "deceased husband" to "lover" in Gu Xingzhou's mouth.
Lu Huai had some objections to this code name, but not a big one.
Anyway, he is already a well-known "deceased husband" and no one can shake his position as the main wife. When Gu Xingzhou said that he was Jiang Yun's "lover", he just took it as a hobby.
Jiang Yun, on the other hand, had a frost on his face as he walked straight towards the special car prepared for him: "Follow me—the three of you."
Jiang Mu was stunned: "Three?"
Lu Chao didn't think there was anything wrong with his father's words and hurried to follow. He was about to help his father open the door as usual, but another hand actually grabbed the handle before him.
The big and the small looked into each other's eyes again.
Jiang Yun wordlessly pushed the father and son aside and opened the car door himself.
Before getting in the car, Jiang Yun suddenly said, "Oh, by the way—your father excelled in all subjects in high school." After Jiang Yun finished speaking to Jiang Mu, he slapped a thick paper document on Lu Chao's chest, "This is a summary of your father's reviews of every mecha on the market."
Jiang Mu: "?"
Lu Chao: “???”
"From now on, don't ask Lieutenant Colonel Morris about your father unless necessary." Jiang Yun ordered the twins forcefully, "Ask me about anything concerning Colonel Lu."
Lu Huai tried his best to keep the corners of his mouth from rising too noticeably. He watched the three darlings get into the car, and just as he was about to follow, an arm stopped him.
Oswald, the owner of the arm, said coldly, "You can go back in my car."
Lu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, with an imperceptible teasing in his tone: "Yes, sir."
——
Back on the Rescue, Jiang Yun first asked Lin Zhen about the mining of the crystal cores to make sure everything went well.
Then, he discussed with Osvid the Alliance's long-term garrison plan on the Ice Wasteland Planet.
As long as Lu Huai's body is not found, the Alliance has a reason to station troops on the Ice Star.
The right to station troops means control and initiative, and no senior official would not enjoy the feeling of holding them in their hands.
Finally, Jiang Yun called his youngest son who had been watching TV all night and gave him three math test papers and a one-hour standing penalty in the conference room.
After doing all this, Jiang Yun finally had time to take a shower, change into his haute couture suit, and think about the placement of his "deceased husband".
As far as the current situation is concerned, if Lu Huai returns rashly, it will definitely have a huge impact on the diplomatic status of the Alliance and Olin.
Colonel Lu's body should remain missing until the Alliance has squeezed out the value of the Ice Wasteland Planet.
So if you want to keep Lu Huai by your side, the best way is to temporarily make up a new identity for him.
And who else but the Intelligence Bureau is best at fabricating identities?
Didn’t Major Gu help Lu Huai think of a code name?
Outside the office cabin, Lu Huai got a holographic handheld game console from somewhere. Without Jiang Yun's permission, he couldn't enter the office, so he leaned against the door, playing games while waiting for Jiang Yun.
"Baby, do you still remember the game 'Trace of the Star Abyss' that we played together before?" Lu Huai said with emotion, "It's been seventeen years, and this game is still alive."
"You'd better be mindful of your status, Colonel Lu." Jiang Yun pushed open the door to the office cabin and walked in. "You're already the father of two fifteen-year-old children. You shouldn't spend too much time playing games every day, otherwise it will corrupt Lu Chao."
"No, I only played for five minutes. Do you have to scold me like that?" Lu Huai turned off the game and followed Jiang Yun into the office cabin. As soon as the door closed, he immediately took off his disguise.
Lu Huai had already picked the most handsome one among the human-shaped masks he had, but he still disliked the appearance of others. As soon as he had a chance to be alone with Jiang Yun, he would definitely use his own face again.
Jiang Yun was a little surprised: "Why do you keep disguising yourself? Aren't you bothered by it?"
"No problem. Hey, Foreign Minister Jiang is really different now that he's back on the Rescue. He's starting to act like a senior." Most people standing respectfully in Jiang Yun's office cabin, but Lu Huai sat directly on the sofa, tossing his fallen mask aside, picking up the pillow and hugging it in his arms. He looked at Jiang Yun with his chin slightly raised, "Why, Foreign Minister Jiang, do you want to discipline me like you would your son?"
Jiang Yun sat down at his desk and said, "I'm now more than ten years older than Colonel Lu, both physically and mentally." Jiang Yun asked, "Am I not qualified to discipline Colonel Lu?"
"Let's not talk about physical age for now." Lu Huai said nonsense seriously, "But my mental age is not necessarily younger than yours."
Jiang Yun frowned slightly: "Why do you say that?"
Lu Huai shrugged: "I told you the reason, because I feel that you have not changed much since seventeen years ago."
Jiang Yun examined Lu Huai for a long moment, then looked away. "After returning to the capital, I will ask Fu Mingqian to test your current physical and mental age."
Lu Huai smiled and said, "Sure."
Jiang Yun pressed the button on the table and conveyed the instruction to Zhong Man: "Connect Agatha May's video."
After the video call was connected, Jiang Yun ignored Agatha Maine's flaming red lips, which opened in shock, and stated the facts in a tone as cold as a program setting: "...In summary, I need you to generate a confidential file codenamed [Lover]."
Agatha May looked at Lu Huai's face, which had not changed at all from seventeen years ago, and could not utter a word for a long time.
Lu Huai greeted her as if nothing had happened: "Good evening, Ms. Agatha, congratulations on your promotion."
"I've been promoted for years! Lu Huai... you actually..." Agatha May gritted her teeth and said, "You haven't aged at all!"
"Yes, yes." Lu Huai deliberately touched his face, "Are you envious?"
The young Alpha's smile was so annoying and dazzling that Agatha wanted to curse but was reluctant to do so.
After all, her brother had been "dead" for seventeen years... When Lu Huai died, there was not a single wrinkle at the corner of her eyes.
"You still want to come back to life? Do you know how much Marshal Lu missed you?" Agatha's voice suddenly fell silent. "Do you know how Jiang Yun has been..."
Jiang Yun interrupted Agatha: "Don't spend too much time on sentimentality, please deal with my needs immediately."
Agatha certainly understood the gravity of the situation. She suppressed her emotions and quickly regained her professionalism. "I have the authority to help you fabricate a nonexistent ghost agent, but Lu Huai can't possibly live his entire life with a fake identity, right? What about the children? What about the Lu family? Is Lu Huai just going to throw his reputation away? Or is Foreign Minister Jiang willing to marry Lu Huai again with his new identity, so the children can legitimately call him Dad?"
"Impossible." Jiang Yun said coldly, "My husband can only be Lu Huai."
Lu Huai, who was leaning on the desk, suddenly looked at Jiang Yun.
Agatha nodded and said, "In that case, we still need to find a way to justify Colonel Lu's resurrection."
"Leave this to me, you just need to..."
Before Jiang Yun could finish his words, the video call was suddenly cut off.
His arms resting on the armrests trapped him in the office chair, and the space was compressed to the point where he had no room to retreat.
Lu Huai's face magnified in Jiang Yun's slightly surprised eyes, and his eyelashes vaguely swept across his cheek.
——He remembered that Colonel Lu also had long eyelashes. He could feel them every time Colonel Lu bent down to kiss him.
Feeling them meant...that Lu Huai was going to kiss him again.
However, he still hadn't remembered how he had responded to his husband's kiss.
He still can't kiss.
The second before their lips were about to touch, Jiang Yun subconsciously turned his head away.
"..." Lu Huai paused, then straightened up helplessly, revealing a look that seemed to want to laugh: "You said such cute words but you didn't let me kiss you. What do you want, Foreign Minister Jiang?"
Jiang Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I still can't get used to such close contact with an Alpha." Jiang Yun lowered his head, his eyelids drooping to shield him from Lu Huai's gaze. "But... I think I'm almost used to you touching my head—do you want to?"
“…”
At this moment, Lu Huai felt that his breathing was disordered.
I told you, if you don’t want to be kissed, don’t say such things... Why can’t Jiang Yun understand?
"Minister Jiang, is it because I always go along with you," Lu Huai pinched Jiang Yun's chin, forcing Jiang Yun to raise his head, "that you think I will listen to you no matter what you say?"
Jiang Yun raised his eyes and looked directly at Lu Huai: "Isn't it?"
"Yes." Lu Huai's thumb, covered with calluses, slowly rubbed Jiang Yun's lips. "But sorry, I don't want to go along with you this time - will you get used to it?"
Jiang Yun was trapped in the office chair, his head unable to move under Lu Huai's control. He could only let Lu Huai lower his head towards him and irresistibly block his lips.
As expected, his mind went blank for a moment, but perhaps because of the support of the office chair, his body was not as stiff as it was when they met again.
When he was busy writing a paper in his study at No. 5 Qianshui Road, Colonel Lu seemed to have kissed him in the same way when he brought him milk.
What did he do at that time?
Did he open his lips, passionately wrap around Colonel Lu's tongue, and willfully release his pheromones to prevent Colonel Lu from leaving?
When he did this, was his eyes open or closed?
Should he close his eyes now?
However, before Jiang Yun had time to figure it out, Lu Huai let him go.
Lu Huai's kiss was shorter than any other time, as if he really just wanted to kiss him.
The images of memories quickly dissipated in my mind, and my rationality returned.
Jiang Yun opened his eyes blankly. Only then did he realize that he had instinctively closed his eyes.
They weren't at Shallow Waterway 5, they were in his office cabin.
Lu Huai didn't agree with him.
"Colonel Lu, have you forgotten that, regardless of age, I'm the commander-in-chief of this Rescue?" Jiang Yun spoke before Lu Huai could say anything. His expression was cold and emotionless, but his lips were shimmering with an ambiguous glint. "Theoretically, I can do whatever I want with the Rescue."
Lu Huai had a bad feeling: "So?"
Jiang Yun raised the corners of his lips, looking very happy: "So I do have the qualifications to discipline Colonel Lu, don't I?"
A few minutes later, Lu Huai shamefully pushed open the door to the conference room. He thought about it all the way, but still couldn't figure out how he had fallen to this point.
As soon as Lu Huai walked into the meeting room, a pair of eyes suddenly looked at him.
Lu Huai stood at the door and met his son's eyes again.
Lu Huai blinked: "Hi?"
Lu Chao couldn't help laughing, even though he didn't know what he was laughing at. "Hey! Did my dad call you here as punishment, Mr. Lover?"
