The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Ah Chang was the highest-level artificial intelligence system in the Interstellar Federation Empire, aside from the main system.
And it was a military combat system.
Pei Yuexuan firmly believed that even if his own brain ever malfunctioned, Ah Chang could not possibly fail.
So it must have been his ears that were the problem.
"Ah Chang, say it again, I must have heard wrong."
"You didn't hear wrong, Vice Officer Pei. Yan Qianyi's husband is indeed our Lord Commander."
Ah Chang's tone was somewhat proud.
Who asked the master not to heed advice at the time? Feeling regret now, are we?
Well, this is good. After suffering a setback this time, the master will surely consider his opinions more in the future.
Pei Yuexuan gaped in astonishment, holding back the urge to curse, "You... why didn't you stop it?!"
"My settings only allow me to follow the master's orders." Ah Chang spoke with an air of indifference.
Pei Yuexuan, annoyed, slapped his forehead, "I knew the Lord was being bullied by that girl! It's all my fault. Last night I should have stayed by the Lord's side,"
He finished, guiltily looking towards Mu Yunlie, even with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
He didn't know if the Lord had been defiled...
His commander was harmless when in pain, and also good-looking. If something really did happen, it was certainly the girl who took the initiative.
However, since the system had already registered the marriage, it seemed like uncooked rice had turned into cooked rice, and the girl must have lured the Lord into marrying her.
The more Pei Yuexuan thought about it, the guiltier he felt.
At this moment, Mu Yunlie, however, had no significant reaction.
He had weathered many storms after all, and upon hearing the news from Ah Chang, he only slightly furrowed his brows.
Ah Chang then said, "Madam did not bully the master; the marriage was at the master's request."
Once he took action, the Madam's system had no right to refuse.
"... " Mu Yunlie finally showed more expression on his face.
Thinking that he might have clung to the girl last night like a lovelorn puppy, the corners of his eyes twitched.
Even his speech seemed strained, as though spoken through clenched teeth, "Tell me all her information."
"Madam is the heiress of Yan Pharmaceutical Group; two years ago, she..."
"Shut up!" Mu Yunlie interrupted with a low growl, "I'll see for myself."
Ah Chang seemed to be deliberately irritating him, repeatedly saying "Madam, Madam."
This system sure held a grudge!
A light screen projected from the wristband, displaying all the information about Yan Qianyi.
Pei Yuexuan saw the photo in the light screen, and a trace of amazement flickered in his eyes.
He had been in such a rush to fetch the Lord in the morning that he hadn't paid attention to the girl.
Now, as he carefully examined the exquisitely beautiful face in the photo, Pei Yuexuan couldn't help but nod.
It must be said, in terms of looks, this girl paired well standing beside the Commander.
Continuing to browse, Pei Yuexuan's expression suddenly turned somber, "Lord, her brother is actually..."
Mu Yunlie also saw the information regarding Yan Qianyi's brother and narrowed his gaze.
"It looks like her appearance by your side last night was not by chance, and could very well be part of a long-premeditated plan. What do you say? Should I go and eliminate her now?" Pei Yuexuan asked for instructions.
Mu Yunlie instructed Ah Chang: "First annul my marriage with her."
"Master, after marriage, you must wait a year before you can divorce."
Pei Yuexuan said, "The only option then is to have the main system intervene, but doing so would inform the President, and soon everyone will know of the Lord's marriage."
"It's a hard-coded setting of the main system; even the Federation Emperor must wait a year after marriage before divorce is possible. To change such a hard-coded main system setting is quite troublesome and could take more than a year." Ah Chang's tone held a bit of helplessness.
Isn't this common sense for the people of the interstellar?
Pei Yuexuan anxiously took off his military cap and ran his fingers through his hair, "A year's time. If that girl does something under the guise of being the Commander's Wife, it would be troublesome. Ah Chang, is there really no other way?"
"The only way for Yan Qianyi to disappear from the master's spouse column now is through widowhood."
Mu Yunlie turned his gaze towards the window.
Dark clouds rolled by in the sky, and heavy rain was imminent.
He parted his thin lips lightly, "Then let it be, widowhood."
