Chapter 247 The Bully Miss's Forced Marriage, the Interstellar General Refuses to Divorce - 27
Li Xingyu remained silent for a long time, and Mu Wanwan gently scratched his palm.
"Alice, the people of this vast planet will remember your contributions. Upon your return, they will naturally receive you with the highest honors. I will then ask the chief for a reward for you."
"I stayed not for anyone else, but for you. Li Xingyu, I like you, and that's why I'm willing to stay."
Mu Wanwan forcefully shook off Li Xingyu's hand; she didn't want to be subjected to their public displays of affection.
Li Xingyu originally wanted to reassure her. He had no emotional entanglement with Alice, so he put the conversation on speakerphone to make it public and transparent, so that she wouldn't overthink things when she was alone.
Alice confessed her feelings directly over the phone. If Mu Wanwan could feel comfortable hearing that, then she would be truly possessed.
Seeing his wife angry, Li Xingyu had no patience to waste any more words with Alice on the other end of the phone.
"Alice, what is your status now? Know your place and put away your inappropriate thoughts, otherwise I will not save you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and turned to coax Mu Wanwan.
"Honey, look, I just scolded her. She likes me, it's none of my business."
"If we don't leave now, we might miss our work start time."
Li Xingyu glanced at the clock. Although he didn't have to work from nine to five like other office workers, he still had to attend a meeting and give a report as soon as he got back.
"Okay, then don't overthink it. There's really nothing between her and me. I've done nothing wrong and have a clear conscience."
"Okay, you'd better hurry up and go, don't be late."
After lengthy negotiations by the leader, the other party finally agreed to release Alice, but on one condition.
This condition can only be met by Li Xingyu; no one else can.
"I disagree!"
Li Xingyu refused without hesitation. He had a beautiful wife at home and couldn't bring himself to marry someone else.
He had lied before, claiming that the person he loved was Alice, hoping that the leader would rescue her out of consideration for him.
Now, instead of saving others, he'll end up getting himself killed; he absolutely won't agree to that.
He had to make multiple assurances to Mu Wanwan before she reluctantly believed him after his recent entanglement with Alice.
If he were already married, and then held a wedding with Alice on Planet Wuyong, what kind of person would he become?
"Isn't she your lover? Why are you so agitated?"
The leader became suspicious of his actions, saying, "She is the person I love, but I am now married."
Li Xingyu attempted to persuade the leader on moral grounds, saying, "According to the monogamous system of my vast planet, I cannot marry two women at the same time. Moreover, my marriage is protected by law, and I must set an example. We will discuss how to handle Alice and my situation when she returns."
The leader paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. "Li Xingyu, it's not that I insist you marry Alice, but the other side needs you to hold another wedding there before releasing Alice back. Whether you marry her or not is your decision."
Upon returning home, Li Xingyu immediately locked himself in his study and remained there for a long time.
Mu Wanwan, carrying a glass of milk, gently knocked on the door and heard a voice inside inviting her to come in.
She slowly pushed open the door, peeked out and saw Li Xingyu pressing his temples with both hands, clearly troubled.
He knew the person who came was Mu Wanwan, so he raised his hand and waved to the person at the door.
She carefully walked up to him with the milk in her hand and pushed it towards him, saying, "Have some warm milk to relax."
He reached out and pulled her over, making her sit on his lap, his head resting on her chest.
"Are you worried about Alice?"
"Um!"
Seeing his exhausted appearance, Mu Wanwan felt a pang of heartache and rested her chin on the top of his head.
"No matter what, she is your subordinate, and you can't just stand by and watch her die."
We definitely need to save them, but figuring out how to do it has become a problem.
He would definitely refuse to sacrifice himself to marry her.
He had finally built up a little trust with Wanwan, and if he were to marry another woman, she would probably leave without looking back.
He can't afford to gamble! Nor does he dare to gamble.
"Although I don't understand your strategy, tell me about it. Who knows, maybe I, an outsider, can help you break the deadlock."
He dared not say that the situation was a complete dead end.
"Don't you want to talk?"
Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, she persisted in pressing him for details, "Tell me about it! It's kind of exciting to save your love rival together."
"The leader of the planet Wuye wants Alice and me to have our wedding on their side."
Mu Wanwan was also extremely shocked when she heard this. The leader of Wuyong Planet lives by the sea? How nosy!
"and then?"
"He will only release her after the wedding is over."
Mu Wanwan got up and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, admiring the colorful night view outside.
There are four words: destruction precedes construction.
Li Xingyu stood up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I'd like to hear more about my wife!"
Mu Wanwan placed her hands on top of his, "You can do this~"
After listening to Mu Wanwan's advice, Li Xingyu suddenly understood.
"Honey, are you really not angry?"
Mu Wanwan turned around and snuggled into his arms. "You've been so open and honest. If I were to hold a grudge, wouldn't that make me seem petty?"
"Ding! Affection level increased by 10, currently at 60!"
Her sensible and generous nature boosted her score by 10 points, but she still needs 40 points, and her future tasks are arduous and far-reaching.
"Thank you for your suggestion, wife."
The following day, Li Xingyu personally called the leader of Wuyong and made it clear that he would not hold the wedding on Wuyong Planet. If people were to be forcibly detained on Wuyong Planet, he would not refuse to use force to pick them up.
The leader of Wuyong Planet was actually intimidated, after all, Li Xingyu said he would resolve the issue by force, and they would only be beaten and completely unable to take the lead or feel distressed.
After the communication, Chief Wu Yong only expressed his desire to be a witness at their wedding and had no other intentions.
Tell Li Xingyu not to take it too seriously; they are friends, how could they become enemies over a woman?
He also promised to send a spaceship to personally return Alice to him intact.
Mu Wanwan was genuinely happy to hear the good news.
From Li Xingyu's perspective, he naturally wouldn't want the conflict to escalate, but this was entirely the deliberate act of the leader of Wuyong Planet.
When his initial attempt to collaborate with Li Xingyu was rejected, he became enraged and detained Alice, intending to take her hostage.
If Li Xingyu were to hold the wedding, they might use the places that Li Xingyu and Alice liked to be the reason to detain both of them.
Then, they will gradually turn Li Xingyu into one of their own. With Li Xingyu's help, Wuyong Planet will soon become the leader among all the planets.
