Chapter 44
Unlike the Ice Wasteland Star, Jinmastu Island is a typical eternal summer star.
It is like the most favored child in the star system. Its orbit is eternally bathed in golden light, and the entire planet is like a melting pot of desire forged from gold.
Kimmastu Island is rich in marine resources and boasts numerous expensive island hotels, with the Archipelago Hotel being undoubtedly the most luxurious.
"...the lowest nightly rate here would cost me three months' salary, and then you tell me that Foreign Minister Jiang has already reserved the presidential suite for a month." Gu Xingzhou said with despair, "Excuse me, is it too late for me to join Foreign Minister Jiang's family now?"
Jiang Yun's personal butler smiled professionally, "Mr. Jiang is waiting for you on the beach. You can go ask him in person."
"Wait," Gu Xingzhou looked the butler up and down, his eyes full of suspicion, "Are you a humanoid?"
The butler kept smiling, "I am a real person."
The Archipelago Hotel is dotted with bionic people who cater to tourists. These people can change their appearance to suit the tourists' preferences, and all of them have good figures and good looks.
Unfortunately, it is inevitable that one will get aesthetic fatigue after seeing too much artificial beauty, so when Gu Xingzhou saw Foreign Minister Jiang on the Diamond Silver Beach, he still felt his eyes brightened.
The vacation version of Jiang Yun is finally no longer dressed in a white shirt and black suit.
Jiang Yun was wearing a white T-shirt that was so loose that it seemed to be one size too big. The soft cotton texture made him look casual and everyday, and his slender body swayed loosely in the clothes.
The sea breeze gently blew the T-shirt, and the fabric clung to his waist, outlining a touch of white space tension in the relaxation.
Jiang Yun was wearing sunglasses, revealing only the lines below his face, but this was enough to make many tourists want to approach him and chat with him.
But as soon as they took two steps closer, they would see the book in Jiang Yun's hand - "How to Accompany Your Alpha Through the Susceptible Period: Tested and Useful by Hundreds of Thousands of Omegas!"
If you get closer, you can see the wedding ring on his ring finger sparkling in the sunlight.
All their fantasies and attempts were abruptly cut off, just like their footsteps.
Gu Xingzhou came to Jiang Yun under the envious gaze of the strange Alpha and started speaking a series of long sentences.
"Foreign Minister Jiang, I'm here. I've just recovered from my injury, so I sacrificed my personal vacation time to come here and serve as your personal bodyguard and assistant. My travel and accommodation expenses haven't even been reimbursed. I heard that Yamashiro Hiroshi, Miyazawa, and the others have already clashed several times in front of the Golden Archon. The smell of gunpowder can be smelled in the Alliance capital, and the two sides are on the verge of a fight. And yet, you're still here, leisurely basking in the sun and reading a book..."
Jiang Yun was reading the third chapter of the book, "Nesting Crisis: Determine whether your Alpha belongs to the Feline or Canine family based on the way it builds its nest." Without even looking up, he casually handed Gu Xingzhou a black card with an unlimited credit limit. "This is your reward. You can use it as you wish on the island."
In an instant, Gu Xingzhou's pupils turned into the symbol of money, "Thank you, Minister Jiang, you are so generous!"
"Don't thank me. Thank Colonel Lu instead," Jiang Yun said casually. "This is just the tip of the iceberg of his legacy."
Gu Xingzhou blurted out: "So you are now using Colonel Lu's inheritance to support other Alphas?"
The butler on the side glanced at Gu Xingzhou and gained a deeper understanding of this Alpha's identity.
He even dares to say such words. It seems that this lieutenant colonel must be Colonel Lu’s true brother.
"So what?" Jiang Yun said, casually turning a page and coming to the fourth chapter of the guide, "Crocodile Tears? Remember, tears are just a tool used by the Alpha to drag you into his lair." "Colonel Lu also treated Omegas to many drinks when he was twenty years old."
Gu Xingzhou was stunned: "Ah? No way! Is this true?!"
"Twenty years ago, Colonel Lu once carried out a mission on Jinmastu Island. After the mission was successfully completed, Colonel Lu rested on the island for two days and became good friends with our Archon," the butler explained. "Due to your Alliance Military's regulations, winnings cannot be brought back home. It happened to be Omega Rights Day on the island, so Colonel Lu used all the chips he won to politely treat all the Omegas present to a drink. He thus gained the favor of quite a few Omegas, but that was all."
Gu Xingzhou discovered another side of his idol that wasn't very loyal and upright. "Oh my god, Colonel Lu was really good at having fun when he was young."
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Foreign Minister Jiang accidentally discovered this matter and seemed a little surprised."
Jiang Yun said calmly, "It's not a big deal. Colonel Lu is a playful person in his daily life. I'm just wondering why Colonel Lu didn't tell me about this."
Gu Xingzhou disagreed: "That's normal. You didn't tell Colonel Lu that you used to win the favor of a lot of Alphas wherever you went."
Jiang Yun was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Lieutenant Colonel Gu, do you still want to be promoted to colonel before you turn thirty?"
Gu Xingzhou quickly made a gesture of zipping up his mouth.
The butler lowered his voice and asked Gu Xingzhou, "Didn't Colonel Lu come with you? I think if Colonel Lu doesn't come to coax his Omega, Foreign Minister Jiang might use Colonel Lu's inheritance to buy drinks for all the Alphas present."
"Colonel Lu would like to come, but isn't tomorrow Monday? Colonel Lu has to obey Foreign Minister Jiang and send the kids to school." Gu Xingzhou unzipped his lips in a split second and sighed pretentiously, "Before marriage, he spent lavishly on the most luxurious island hotels for his Omegas. After marriage, his wife enjoyed a leisurely vacation, leaving him alone after just getting through his susceptible period, and then he had to drag his frail body to send the kids to school with bags and bags - what has marriage really brought to Alphas?"
——
Before getting off the car, Lu Huai checked his bags one last time.
Fresh fruits and vegetables carefully selected from the supermarket, Simon School uniforms, a winter schedule... as well as a bottle of fast-acting blood pressure medication and a box of high-efficiency headache patches.
On the passenger seat was a copy of his already-read "The Ultimate Parenting Guide: Double the Cuteness, Hundred Times the Frustration, and the Tears and Blood Diaries of Hundreds of Thousands of Twin Parents!"
Lu Huai's evaluation of this book can be described in just two words: outrageous.
Especially the chapter "The Battle of Heirs Has Always Been Cruel" is too exaggerated. It seems that the twins must have been fighting since they were young, and they would fight to the death for a piece of waste paper.
While twins from other families might constantly clash, his and Jiang Yun's twins have always been very harmonious. The two brothers rarely quarreled, embodying the meaning of brotherly love and respect.
A battle for succession? Not happening.
However, there is one thing he hasn't figured out yet.
The Golden Archon's announcement had spread throughout the galaxy, and the twins should have known that Alpha's father was still alive. But the two children didn't react in any particular way; their silence was unusual.
Could it be that the twins don't have much affection for their father who has disappeared for seventeen years?
If that was the case, he could understand it.
After all, he and the two children had never even spent three short months together.
Lu Huai got out of the car carrying a lot of bags and pressed the doorbell for a long time but no one answered.
He knocked on the door using the authority Jiang Yun gave him, and as soon as he entered the entrance hall, he heard a loud noise coming from the restaurant.
Lu Huai came to the restaurant immediately.
Pots and pans were scattered across the floor, and the dining chairs were tilted. His unique twins, the older one holding a spatula and the younger one shielding her face with a frying pan, formed a battle line across the dining table.
Lu Huai witnessed the twins’ brutal battlefield for the first time and was shocked: “No…you guys really know how to fight.”
Lu Chao roared in frustration, "Jiang Mu deleted my game save!"
His father, who was also addicted to games in high school but still managed to get first place in the exam, felt the same way: "Alas, this is your fault, Jiang Mu, how could you delete your brother's game save file?"
Jiang Mu defended himself, "Lu Chao stole the cake I left in the refrigerator."
Jiang Mu's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Yun, showed an expression of grievance, prompting Judge Lu to change his stance without a word: "Look, why are you eating your brother's cake for no reason? Your father always gives you plenty to eat."
Lu Chao raised the frying pan angrily. "That happened a month ago! Why didn't you mention that when Jiang Mu was eight years old, he used my towel to bathe a stray kitten!"
Adhering to the principle of fairness and justice, Lu Huai accused Jiang Mu without hesitation: "That's too much. Have you apologized to your brother about this?"
Jiang Mu was unusually stubborn. "I'm not apologizing. I did it on purpose. It was Lu Chao who stuffed a frog into my schoolbag when I was six!"
Lu Huai had a headache. "I'm beginning to feel bad for how your father has been through all these years."
Lu Chao sneered, "Are you bringing up the past? If you hadn't held me back when I was in Daddy's belly and wouldn't let me go out first, would I be your younger brother?"
Lu Huai almost laughed out loud. What the hell was going on?
"Alright, stop arguing." Lu Huai confiscated the tools from the children one by one. "Let's sit down and have a good chat. I have something to tell you."
Lu Chao seemed to treasure the game save file he had worked so hard to create, and his face was full of reluctance. While Lu Huai turned around to put down the tableware, he pushed Jiang Mu hard and said, "—Get out!"
Lu Chao's physique was already similar to that of an adult Alpha. Jiang Mu was almost thrown against the wall by him, and his face turned pale.
Lu Huai immediately pulled Jiang Mu into his arms, and after making sure that his eldest son was not hurt, he looked up at his youngest son.
Lu Chao suddenly felt a sense of pressure and took a step back uncontrollably. "What? Is it your business if I pushed my brother?"
"You'd better understand one thing, Lu Chao." Lu Huai said slowly, "Some mistakes that touch the bottom line will not be easily forgiven."
Lu Huai's voice was very calm, and he didn't even raise the volume, but it made Lu Chao's back go cold, his legs went weak, and he couldn't even stand steadily.
But the young man still managed to hold on. He mustered up his courage, looked his lover straight in the eye, and said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? You're just my father's subordinate. What right do you have to control me?"
"Is that so?" Lu Huai let go of Jiang Mu and walked towards Lu Chao. "Do you think I have no right to control you?"
Lu Chao was forced to step back, his calf hit a dining chair and he sat down.
"I see. Are you also pursuing my father?" Lu Chao's voice trembled slightly, but he still chose to confront an adult Alpha head-on. It was also very brave. "Do you think you have a chance and act like a stepfather in front of me?"
Lu Huai laughed, "I don't need to chase, because..." Lu Huai raised his hand to remove the disguise mask and threw it aside, "I caught up with him a long time ago."
Lu Chao suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Lu Huai looked down at him and said calmly, "Say it again, Lu Chao, do I have the right to control you?"
Lu Chao's eyes turned red, and he kept swallowing his saliva and said, "Brother...Brother, we guessed right! He, he...he really is the Colonel dad...!"
Lu Huai remembered a chapter in the "Guide to Parenting".
[When children are quiet, they are definitely up to something: Beware of the twins who secretly plot and set a trap for their parents!]
Really good acting.
That’s awesome, babies.
