Married Life with Major General [Interstellar]

Translator: humu

Marshal Wip’s eyes flashed with surprise, as if he wanted to see something from Ji Feng’s excessively calm face. Or maybe he had already seen something, but it wasn’t evident. In the end, Marshal Wip broke the brief awkward atmosphere.

“How have you been in this period of time?”

“Pretty well.”

“Moore, this child, didn’t give you too much trouble, right?”

“Why would he? He’s very good.”

……

Why did the conversation feel stranger the more they listened to it? The others present did not dare to interrupt, but the conversation gave others an inexplicable weird feeling. Marshal Wip’s tone was not like marrying off a son, but asking someone to take care of a child?

Fortunately, the two of them didn’t awkwardly talk for long. Maybe Marshal Wip himself knew how much pressure and unnaturalness he would bring to the family, so he went into the study; but he called Moore and Rolt before going in.

Ji Feng could clearly feel that as soon as Marshal Wip left the huge living room, the atmosphere instantly eased; especially the children, whose faces relaxed visibly.

Little Kerry broke free from his father’s arms and then rushed to Ji Feng’s thigh while carrying the flying car, “Uncle, do you want to play with the flying car together?”

Ji Feng smiled, but heard Gal’s voice, “Dad, don’t you want to sit for a while?”

Ji Feng looked up and found that Tolan had gotten up and was about to leave. He was only in his early forties, yet he had a handsome face and was well-maintained. Both his figure and appearance were outstanding. It was not an exaggeration to claim that he was 30 years old.

But after Ji Feng came in, he discovered that Tolan was obviously not so enthusiastic, even a little cold. Probably because of the noble birth and the pampering he had since childhood, Tolan’s gestures revealed a high and arrogant attitude. His eyes were also full of indifference, but this indifference was completely different from Moore’s. At least, it made Ji Feng feel uncomfortable.

Gal’s eyes looked a little lonely when he looked at his father, probably because Gal hoped that he would stay with everyone. It was a pity that Tolan didn’t like noise, so he left a sentence without looking back, “I’m tired. I’ll go back to my room to rest.” Then, he went upstairs.

Su Qi smiled awkwardly and politely at Ji Feng, but Kerry didn’t know this. He put the flying car on Ji Feng’s leg and jumped over to pull Gal over, “Little Uncle Gal, let’s play with Uncle~”

Then he went to pull his elder brother Ella, but his elder brother rejected him in disgust, “Not playing, childish.” Then Ella continued to admire his floating battleship model. Little Kerry immediately sought his father for help.

This was probably the most common routine for the brothers, so Su Qi ignored it and merely smiled.

So Kerry could only run back to Ji Feng’s legs in great grievances, “Uncle, play with me.”

“Okay.” Ji Feng rubbed his little head. His hair was soft and made him feel comfortable.

“You are really so very different from the person rumored on the Internet, why is the difference so huge?” Su Qi lamented.

“Everything has its two sides. Even if you see it with your own eyes, it may not be true.” Ji Feng said with a smile, while teasing the child.

“But the difference is too big.” Gal also joined the chat.

“Then do you believe what is circulating on the Internet or what you see in front of you?” Ji Feng looked up at him.

“Of course what I see in front of me,” Gal said without hesitation. “I think Second Brother-in-Law, you are really good. You are super handsome too. For real, you are a good match for Second Brother.”

Ji Feng chuckled. “What a simple child.”

Gal blushed, “Aiya, Second Brother-in-law, what do you mean ‘child’? I’m an adult already and I’m already attending University this year.”

When it came to the topic of college, Gal’s eyes lit up brightly, “That’s right. Second Brother-in-Law, is the news on Star Network true that an old professor of our school wants to invite you to be a special teacher?”

Gal was full of excitement and worship, but Ji Feng wondered, “Your school?”

“It’s Lopa Interstellar University. So is it true?” Gal was excited, “If it is true, then will I be able to see you at school in the future?”

Ji Feng curled his lips and nodded. Although it hadn’t been long since he decided, it seemed that he would be reporting tomorrow.

It was a decision made after careful deliberations. His Cultivation had yet to reach the point of being completely fearless. So he must not easily expose the facts of his Cultivation. Otherwise, it would definitely cause chaos in the entire universe.

But it was not a wise move for him to stay at home and cultivate like this. There were three reasons for choosing to go to Lopa Interstellar University. One was as a cover for identity. The other was to learn more about the world through such a veritable university. The last was the Ancient Earth studied by Fang Xingjie and the others. If the Ancient Earth they spoke of was the world he was in, then maybe he would be able to return to that world someday in the future.

Any one of these three reasons was enough for Ji Feng to be unable to refuse, let alone three of them together. So Ji Feng agreed.

Gal became excited for a moment, “That’s great.” Even Su Qi and Ella looked over in surprise. Little Kerry clamored that he would go too, even if he didn’t know where. He just wanted to follow Ji Feng anyway.

The living room was full of joyous harmony, but the study was full of depression. The father and sons were sitting facing each other. Marshal Wip seemed to be born with a serious and scary face. Even if he wanted to show his fatherly love, it was very difficult. Thus, there were many moments when they were sitting with each other, but were silent.

However, today was different from the past. Rolt was about to go to the dangerous Heduro. He was afraid that there would be no return, but he couldn’t stop it with his authority.

“As a Lieutenant General, I don’t need to say more about what should be said,” Marshal Wip looked at Rolt with deep eyes. “Act according to your own discretion at all times. Remember to not be impulsive. Do all things with caution. Be careful of the people around you. I am now instructing you with the identity of a father.”

“Yes, Father.”

“I have only one request for you. Come back alive.”

Moore’s heart trembled. The expressions of the two brothers became heavy at the same time.

“Yes, Father.” Rolt gritted his teeth.

“As for you,” Marshal Wip immediately looked at Moore, “Similarly, you mustn’t let your guard down. Rolt is just the beginning and you are next.”

“Yes, Father.”

“Hmph, I have been fighting for Lopa Star for many years. When there are times I depend on you1, there must be times when I bring fear to you. After guarding Lopa Star for so many years, I still can’t resist this single word called ‘power’. How ridiculous.” Marshal Wip suddenly mocked himself coldly.

“Father, the binding of Rad and the Xiao family has broken the peace. The old Imperial King must have played a hand in this situation. In that case, why don’t you try it too, Father?” Rolt asked suddenly.

The old Imperial King was obviously about to reach his end. Whether it was from all kinds of rumors of serious illness, or from the way he paved a road of retreat for the Nelson family, it was clear to see.

As long as the Imperial King did not make a big mistake or was impeached for an erroneous decision, the Imperial King of Lopa Star could be re-elected. Obviously, the current old Imperial King had enough ability and skill to be able to stay in this position for so many years.

However, the longer you stay, the more reluctant you would be to leave. What’s more, this position has been coveted by many people. The old Imperial King didn’t say a word and violated the promise of the year to call Rad back for nothing special. Everyone knew it in their hearts.

Also, if you want to win the election, no matter which side you were on, the most feared was Wip Houston, the supreme military Marshal of the Empire. He had absolutely loyal supporters and was also respected by thousands of people. So he had imperceptible advantages above all others, as long as he wanted to.

Of course, it was precisely for this reason that old Nelson and other forces were working hard to weaken Marshal Wip’s real power. In fact, they had already done it. The so-called Military Administration had all kinds of restrictions on Military Personnel’s decision-making power. In fact, the ultimate restriction was nothing more than demonstrating the power of Marshal Wip.

Marshal Wip didn’t rush to answer Rolt, but fell into deathly silence. It took him a long time to hear him sigh, “You two should know that I have no intentions for the position of the Imperial King.”

“What’s more, your dad doesn’t want me either…”

“Father!” Marshal Wip was interrupted by Moore before he finished speaking. His eyes were filled with anger and unspeakable pain, “Do you still want to pretend to be hypocritical? I don’t understand the point of your actions.”

“Moore!” Rolt hurriedly scolded, but it was useless. As long as ‘Dad’ was mentioned, the two of them would fall into such a situation. That incident had become the knot in Moore’s heart. It had also become an insurmountable barrier between Moore and his father.

Marshal Wip sighed weakly, “I let down your dad regarding what happened that year, but I had no choice. My pain is no less than you…”

“But you still married Tolan Nelson when Dad was missing for less than two months!” Moore said coldly.

Due to this, Little Moore’s heart was distorted. Saying that Marshal Wip loved his dad was false, and what pain he mentioned was also false. Moore never knew that human feelings could be false to such a degree. What an unbearable blow to him.

Not only did his father marry Tolan Nelson in such a short time, but they soon had Gal. From then on, the warm and happy Houston home ceased to exist and was completely destroyed. So he hated Tolan Nelson, and they were still acting like strangers. In the same way he hated Gal Houston and had never treated him as family, turning a blind eye to him. Moore admitted that he was taking out his anger on Gal, but he just couldn’t help it.

Moore didn’t understand how his father could abandon his dad while talking about love, how he could marry someone else and give birth to a child while talking about pain. What was this? Wasn’t this kind of love ridiculous?

The quarrel ended in silence under Moore’s cold hit of reality. As always, Marshal Wip did not defend himself, but he never admitted to Moore’s misunderstanding.

Moore finally walked out of the study in a gloomy mood. His heart was so heavy that he couldn’t breathe. He was very uncomfortable, very angry, and also slightly wronged. In fact, in his heart, he still hoped that his father would give him a reasonable explanation. But for so many years, his father always chose to be silent.

Moore came to the living room and it was unexpectedly peaceful. Little Kerry laid on Ji Feng’s lap and was amused as he giggled. Gal and Ella also sat around Ji Feng and seemed to be sharing something interesting. On the other side, his Elder Brother-in-Law looked at them with a smile.

Such a picture suddenly made Moore’s nose sour, and a vague memory suddenly came to his mind. At that time, the Houston family was so happy and warm. He was just like Little Kerry, playing around his father and Dad’s knees, so warm and harmonious.

“Moore?” Su Qi was the first to spot Moore standing in the corner, so he quickly waved to Moore, “Come here and sit down.”

Su Qi was a refined person, understanding and kind, as well as very transparent. So Moore liked this Brother-in-Law very much, although he never expressed it verbally.

Ji Feng hugged Little Kerry with one arm. Moore had already walked over and sat down beside him. Ji Feng asked casually, “Do you want to go back?” Because the sky was dark.

Unexpectedly, Little Kerry pounced further into Ji Feng’s arms before Moore even spoke. The two short hands hugged Ji Feng’s neck tightly. “Uncle, don’t go, don’t go, okay?.”

Moore looked at this scene with a complicated expression . He did not expect that Ji Feng would be so attractive to children. The picture they painted together was so harmonious and beautiful.

“Stay for a night,” Su Qi also said, “It’s rare for you to visit. Little Kerry likes his Uncle-in-Law very much too.”

“Uncle Moore~ Don’t leave, okay~ Uncle Moore~ You and Uncle, please don’t leave…” Little Kerry shook his hand miserably.

“……” Moore belonged to those who were cold-hearted on the surface, but kind-hearted inside. Sometimes, he was even a soft puddle of mess. How could he refuse such a Little Kerry?

But he forgot that there was no guest room today. Father and Tolan Nelson both had their own rooms. Rolt and his husband also had their own room, although they didn’t usually live here. The only other two rooms were occupied by Ella and Kerry. Of course, he also had his own room, but… Ji Feng didn’t.
