Chapter 7 Ling Suyu's Wife
Ling Suyu said coldly, "We will not participate."
He wanted to give Wen Shumu his freedom; once he participated in this variety show, the little one would be completely tied to him.
Yi Hao glanced at him, his smile unchanged, then turned to look at Wen Shumu.
The Omega's small curls were slightly upturned, and her eyes sparkled like the most dazzling gems in the world, forming a stark contrast with the deep-set Alpha beside her.
The two people had completely different expressions, which was quite interesting.
Wen Shumu absolutely, positively wants to participate!
He was just worrying about how to win over his wife when this variety show came along like a timely rain, a perfect opportunity that came knocking on his door.
Once she's on the show, everyone in the entire galaxy will know she's Ling Suyu's wife!
Upon hearing Ling Suyu's refusal, Wen Shumu could only turn to the emperor for help, hoping that he could understand his thoughts.
Yi Hao successfully understood Wen Shumu's meaning, winked quietly, and said seriously, "I am just informing you that you must participate in this variety show, and you must act... extremely affectionately."
The emperor even changed his self-reference to make himself appear more powerful.
Ling Suyu: "..."
Wen Shumu's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Listen to my analysis," Yi Hao said solemnly. "You two are currently the most talked-about couple in the Empire. The effect of your appearance on the show will be a hundred times better than anyone else's. As I said, this show is of great significance, not only for yourselves, but also for the peaceful future of the Empire and the Federation, and for the long-term stability of the entire universe..."
The emperor is clearly getting off-topic; it's just a variety show, it's not that important.
He originally intended to respect their opinions; if they wanted to participate, they could, and if they didn't, they could skip it.
But seeing the completely opposite reactions of the newlyweds, Yi Hao immediately changed his mind and decided to send them to a special environment like a variety show to get to know each other better.
What if...it actually works?
Ling Suyu was clearly not fooled by Yi Hao, and showed an expression that said, "What nonsense is this guy talking about?"
Yi Hao ignored him and stared at Wen Shumu, asking, "Shumu, are you willing to participate? Don't worry about Ling Suyu's opinion, just tell me your own thoughts."
Wen Shumu had already made up his mind, and now he said firmly, "I want to... participate! I'm willing."
Upon hearing this, the black-haired, blue-eyed Alpha showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Fearing that the little one was forcing himself, he said, "There's no need to worry about what Your Majesty just said. It's just a variety show; it's not that valuable."
It's almost as if they're saying, "His Majesty is talking nonsense."
Wen Shumu turned to look at Ling Suyu, her starry eyes filled with a smile: "I really want to participate. Traveling with my brother sounds really interesting!"
He knew he couldn't explicitly express his thoughts right now, and fearing that Ling Suyu still wouldn't want to participate, he chose a more acceptable reason.
Ling Suyu was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that the little one wanted to participate in the variety show for this reason.
Yi Hao shut his mouth, his eyes full of interest.
A moment later, he saw the young marshal nod slightly and say "Good".
Yi Hao smiled with satisfaction and teased, "Shu Mu, it seems your brother... also wants to travel with you~"
Wen Shumu's face, which had been deathly pale, turned a rosy pink, and even his earlobes turned red.
Ling Suyu didn't find anything strange about the emperor's words.
He truly regarded Wen Shumu as his younger brother, and it was only natural for Wen Shumu to call him brother.
The marshal, who was clueless about love, never imagined that "brother" was an affectionate term of endearment between lovers.

After returning home, Wen Shumu had just changed his clothes when he received a friend request on his terminal. The message read, "Ke Mo, director of 'Love's Star Journey'."
After the application was approved, Ke Mo excitedly expressed that he was so happy that he almost fainted when he heard the news that he and the Marshal were willing to participate in the program!
He then added that the marshal had not yet accepted his friend request and hoped that Wen Shumu could convey his message.
Wen Shumu then realized... he hadn't added his brother's terminal either!
He's even worse than Ke Mo; he doesn't even know his brother's terminal number.
[Kemo: Mr. Wen, I noticed you don't have your own personal social media account. Why don't you register one on Xingbo first? We'll help you apply for celebrity verification. The program will be officially announced soon, and we'll need to tag you then.]
When Wen Shumu was at the Wen family home, he could only occasionally use the StarNet to check the news, and there would be servants watching him and reporting to Wen Bin what he had browsed.
Wen Bin seemed afraid that he would grow up too well and show any talent that would overshadow Wen Boshuang, so he listened to his stepmother's advice and kept him locked up and suppressed.
Therefore, it's impossible for him to have his own social media accounts.
Compared to Wen Boshuang, who has millions of fans and flaunts her extravagant lifestyle on social media, Wen Shumu's life is rather unremarkable. He spends most of his time reading and daydreaming.
His favorite books are travelogues. Although he can't go out, he can feel the vastness and immensity of the universe through the words and pictures in the books.
After marrying Ling Suyu, everything started to go in a positive direction.
He can go out now, and he can even travel!
Thinking of this, a sweet smile appeared on Wen Shumu's lips.
He opened the terminal and activated Xingbo as Ke Mo had instructed, using the simple nickname "Wen Shumu".
The first thing Wen Shumu did after registering was to search for the three characters "Ling Suyu".
Ling Suyu's profile picture on Xingbo is the platform's default image, and there is no content at all, as if this account is just for decoration.
In the interstellar age, advanced technology has led to a significant increase in human lifespan and an exponential population explosion, with the total interstellar population now reaching tens of billions.
Even if Ling Suyu doesn't post any content, his Weibo followers are... 50 billion?!
Wen Shumu's eyes widened, and he counted several times to make sure he hadn't miscounted.
From this perspective, Wen Boshuang's millions of fans don't seem like much.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wen Shumu clicked "follow".
He told Kemo about his registration with Xingbo.
[Kemo: Okay, what should I write in your verification profile?]
Wen Shumu's first thought was... to write "Ling Suyu's wife/wife".
Just in case, he still wanted to refer to the common way of writing.
[Wen Shumu: How do you usually write it?]
Komo sent him several screenshots, such as "a well-known musician in the Federation", "a young painter in the Empire, whose representative work is 'The Temple of Ash'", "the champion of the 4202 Mech Manufacturing League"...
Most of them revolve around the profession they are proud of.
Wen Shumu grew increasingly silent as he looked at the scene.
He is unemployed...
He never even went to school; he was taught by tutors in the Wen family, and the subjects he studied most were things like "The Virtues of Omega".
Seeing that Wen Shumu had not replied for a long time, Ke Mo said understandingly:
[If you haven't decided yet, you can first register as a "Guest of Love's Star Journey".]
After dealing with Xingbo, Wen Shumu left the room and wandered around in the corridor.
"Unintentionally," he wandered to the door of Ling Suyu's bedroom next door.
The door wasn't closed; it was ajar.
Wen Shumu hesitated for a moment, then cautiously peered over, wanting to see if Ling Suyu was there.
Just as the curly-haired girl reached the door, a familiar, deep voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Are you looking for me?
Wen Shumu gasped, then slipped.
After a moment of panic, the stray hairs on his forehead almost touched the ground. If it weren't for the strong arms around his waist that held him back, he would have had a close encounter with the ground.
