Chapter 148 A whole afternoon
[Wen Bingxuan: Qiu Tong and Wen Boshuang have already left Anjiangxing. You are welcome to return at any time.]
Wen Shumu showed Ling Suyu a message from Wen Bingxuan on the terminal: "I wonder where they'll go."
Thinking of how they treated Wen Shumu back then, Ling Suyu's face darkened: "Anyway, I won't appear in front of you again."
Ling Suyu raised his hand and stroked the Omega's slightly curly brown hair: "They can only watch you get better and better from some corner of this world."
"I should be going to Anjiang Star soon." Wen Shumu squinted, enjoying his gentle caress. "We'll go together once you're free to move around freely."
The coldness in Ling Suyu's eyes gradually faded, and he replied gently, "Okay."
After the official media announced Marshal Ling's safe return, the gloomy atmosphere on the StarNet dissipated. Numerous people enthusiastically left messages on Ling Suyu's StarBlog, expressing their joy. Even many Federation citizens began paying attention to Ling Suyu, and Wen Shumu's fan base also grew significantly.
The news of Wen Shumu's succession to the title of Duke has immediately topped the trending searches, and many people are applauding it.
[Oh my god, I still remember how innocent and fresh Mu Mu looked when he first appeared in the first episode of "Love's Star Journey," and now he's a marquis!]
[No need to look for a job anymore, you can instantly become the head of the household.]
This is what he deserves, after suffering for so many years.
I heard that Wen Boshuang and Qiu Tong moved to Planet Fuluo.
【Flora? That's a nice place, but the property prices aren't cheap.】
[Qiu Tong has millions of credits for any piece of jewelry she owns; she can definitely afford a house, or rent one if necessary. It's none of our business.]
Anyway, their reputation in the empire is completely ruined, and they can no longer enter high society circles. Qiu Tong has schemed for half her life, only to end up like this. This kind of fall from grace is what she can't bear the most.
Wen Boshuang hasn't posted any photos of her daily life on Weibo for several days now; she used to post almost a hundred a day.
[He's moved to a living environment far worse than before, so he probably doesn't want to post anymore. We think Planet Flora is a good place, but his current residence is definitely not as good as the Wen family mansion.]
Netizens guessed correctly; the two moved into a single-level suite on Planet Flora.
Wen Boshuang was throwing a tantrum: "What the hell is this? It's awful! Couldn't you have hired a chef?"
Qiu Tong said in a deep voice, "Eat it or don't, it's up to you."
Wen Boshuang couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and looked around the room: "I've never stayed in such a small house before, only in hotels. You can sell some of your jewelry and we can move to a bigger house."
Qiu Tong slammed down her knife and fork: "Shut up! Without all that jewelry, what am I supposed to wear to events?"
Wen Boshuang secretly rolled her eyes. Her mother was still dreaming of turning things around.
Qiu Tong said, "Why don't you just sell yours? You don't go out anyway."
Upon hearing this, Wen Boshuang's expression immediately changed: "Those are all my treasures. I lost quite a few on this unlucky planet last time because of the alien beasts, it broke my heart... You're my mother, shouldn't you raise me?"
Qiu Tong was furious: "How old are you? I'm still waiting for you to take care of me in my old age!"
"It's only at times like this that you feel old, even though you always say you look younger than a twenty-year-old girl."
"Where did you learn to talk like that?!"
"With you!"
The two were arguing fiercely.
In the days to come, such arguments will continue countless times.
Their lives were like the roses that Wen Boshuang had once smashed to the ground, losing their beauty and fragrance, slowly sinking into the mire, and finding it difficult to escape.
Wen Shumu was unaware of the situation of the mother and son, and he didn't pay any attention to it at all; he had many more important things to do.
On a summer afternoon, the sun was so bright it was almost blinding, cicadas chirped incessantly, and a scorching wind, carrying the scent of grass and trees, lashed against the exterior walls of the magnificent white-gold building.
In the comfortably warm study, Wen Shumu was nestled on the sofa reading the book that Adolphus had recommended to him.
There were too many things that bothered him before, but now that life is back on track, he should focus his attention on this.
Ling Suyu was working behind his desk. During the time he was missing, the First Legion had accumulated many matters that required the Legion Commander's personal attention. He also had to submit a detailed report on the battle with the Beast King to the military headquarters, and the research institute also asked him to provide relevant information.
They both had their own things to do, but they still stayed in the same room.
Wen Shumu has unconsciously developed a habit of checking on Ling Suyu from time to time to make sure he is there before he feels at ease.
Ling Suyu secretly realized this, which led to the current situation where he even brought his wife to work.
In the quiet corner of the sofa, Wen Shumu's terminal suddenly vibrated.
When Wen Shumu opened the message, it was from Ke Mo.
Ke Mo first inquired about the marshal's injury, and after receiving a reply that everything was fine, he sent another message.
This sentence made Wen Shumu stare at it and ponder for a long time.
Ling Suyu was writing a report with a listless expression. Even a marshal couldn't escape this tedious job, since only he knew the situation on the ground.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Omega walking over and poking his arm with his slender fingers.
Ling Suyu immediately put down what he was doing and pulled his wife into his arms: "What's wrong?"
"Look at the message Director Ke sent." Wen Shumu showed him a projection of the chat interface. "I think it's a good idea, what do you think?"
Ling Suyu's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips: "You're in charge now. You're the head of the family."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shumu's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Then I'll tell Xuanbo."
After consulting Ling Suyu, Wen Shumu wanted to go back to read, but found he couldn't break free from the Alpha's embrace.
Then, Ling Suyu lifted him onto his lap.
"elder brother……"
"You can read books here too," Ling Suyu said seriously.
Wen Shumu pursed her lips and looked at him, her blue eyes clear and bright, as if the Alpha truly felt that way.
The moment Wen Shumu was looked at with that gaze by Ling Suyu, her heart softened and she instantly gave up struggling.
He sat on Alpha's lap and was indeed reading a book at first.
Not long after, the study door clicked.
The door was locked from the inside.
A waiter came to bring tea and knocked on the study door, but no one answered.
He quickly informed the housekeeper.
Allison remained calm and gave the waiter a meaningful look: "No need to see me off anymore, go have some fun."
After he finished speaking, he floated away mysteriously, leaving the waiter with a question mark above his head.
From the afternoon until nightfall, the two owners of the manor remained in their study, only appearing before everyone at dinner time.
Wen Shumu glanced up at the Alpha who was cutting his steak, and took a bite of meat indignantly.
He was now absolutely certain that Ling Suyu's injuries had fully healed.
An entire afternoon!
A waiter came and knocked on the door. Ling Suyu covered his mouth and said, "Baby, be good, don't make a sound."
Despite saying that, Alpha didn't stop at all and instead pulled him even tighter.
The thought of this scene made Wen Shumu's face turn bright red, like a ripe apple.
I feel like Ling Suyu has been too clingy these past few days.
He still has a lot of energy...
