Ji Xiuyun wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

"Betrothal gifts?" he repeated.

Ji Xiuyun, who was studying Chinese characters for cultivation techniques and had come into contact with ancient Earth culture, knew very well what betrothal gifts meant.

In the Galactic Era, same-sex couples were not rare. On the marriage certificate of same-sex couples, both of them were husband and wife. There was no clear distinction between their identities.

However, this was not the case in Yue An's era.

There was a big difference between marrying and getting married.

Similarly, dowry and betrothal gifts were two different concepts.

Could Ji Xiuyun compromise on this matter?

Of course, that was impossible.

"No."

Ji Xiuyun rejected Yue An's betrothal gifts decisively. Then, he reached out and pointed at the document containing the details of his assets.

He said, "Betrothal gifts."

Yue An was stunned for two seconds. Then, his eyes widened.

"You want to marry me?"

Marshal Ji nodded. "Yes. You want to marry me."

Yue An opened his mouth and wanted to say no.

However, Ji Xiuyun beat him to it. "You agreed to marry me."

Yue An straightened his neck. "…"

How could you humans be like this?

How could you bear to set such a cute kitten in a trap?

"So be it." Yue An pursed his lips. "You're just relying on me to pamper you."

Ji Xiuyun: "…??"

Ji Xiuyun was shocked by Yue An's words. He was silent for a long time. In the end, he caressed Yue An's head and said, "Then pamper me a little more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Marshal Ji carried Yue An and the sofa cushion back to the room.

Then, he was kicked out in the middle of the night. His clothes were disheveled, and there were some ambiguous scratches on his body.

Ji Xiuyun turned to look at the door. After some thought, he tidied up and went to the study to sleep for the night.

Lady Ellie thought that Ji Xiuyun and Yue An would register their marriage the next day.

However, she did not expect Ji Xiuyun to be busy with post-war matters the next day. Yue An also chose to accompany her to go shopping.

This shouldn't be.

Lady Ellie glanced at Yue An's neck. She did not hide the scratches and felt even more that something was wrong.

Madam Ellie found a beverage shop. Although there were people who stared at them in this high-end business district, no one did anything rude.

Mrs. Ellie brought Yue An into the restaurant and sat down. She ordered a lot of food for her son, who had a huge appetite. Then she asked gently, "Are you having a fight?"

. "Huh?" Yue An did not understand.

Lady Ellie pointed at the scratches on Yue An's neck. "Isn't it great? Based on Xiuyun's efficiency, she should have brought you to register your marriage today."

Yue An took two seconds to react. Just as Lady Ellie thought that he would be nervous and shy, Yue An took the drink from the robot beside him and said, "He's not good at it. I kicked him out of the room after we finished last night."

Lady Ellie, "…"

Lady Ellie, "???"

Are all you young people … like this?

Lady Ellie wanted to say something, but stopped.

"So when I woke up today, he was already gone." Yue An did not care about registering his marriage.

Since Ji Xiuyun did not sleep in the same room as him, Yue An curled up in his bed and fainted until Lady Ellie contacted him.

Yue An knew that Ji Xiuyun did not wake him up because she was worried that he did not have a good rest last night. Yue An liked this. When he woke up, he did not feel as unhappy as he did last night. In fact, he even felt a little happy.

Lady Ellie turned her head and looked at the paparazzi who was being dragged out by security. She looked at the time and said, "He should be contacting you now."

Yue An, who was focused on sucking the fruit in his drink, let go of the straw in his mouth and looked up blankly. "Why?"

Lady Ellie pointed at the paparazzi who was being dragged away. "Because he'll know that you're awake soon."

Yue An glanced at it and casually opened the optical computer's interface.

The entertainment headlines popped up as soon as he opened it. Lady Ellie and Yue An were shopping and drinking cold drinks.

Yue An clicked on the headlines.

Lady Ellie also glanced at it and a teasing smile appeared on her face.

"How rare." She said, "To be able to steal my limelight."

Yes, the main subject of this report was Yue An.

The entire Empire knew how efficient Marshal Ji was. If he said that he wanted to get married, it would most likely be done in two or three days.

Today, many media outlets had been waiting in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau in Sintes all day. Now that it was almost time to get off work, they did not see Ji Xiuyun and Yue An. However, they received news that Yue An was shopping with Lady Ellie.

Not everyone could enter the high-end shopping area. However, paparazzi were paparazzi because they were omnipresent.

In this era, almost any flaw could be infinitely magnified. With the help of video capture technology, the details of the subject's body could be seen clearly.

For example, the mark on Yue An's neck that was covered.

There were also bite marks on his wrist.

There were also faintly discernible marks under his thin casual clothes.

Also, today, when Marshal Ji attended a foreign military conference and expressed his opinion on the labyrinth marching technique, the camera very honestly recorded the scratch marks under the Marshal's collar.

When the onlookers saw the paparazzi's report, they all became excited. They rubbed their hands and felt that their Marshal really had good luck with women. Last night must have been very intense!

Yue An sucked on his straw and was about to enter the comments section when he was interrupted by Ji Xiuyun's call.

Yue An could not help but look up at Lady Ellie, who said that Ji Xiuyun would contact him.

Lady Ellie was also holding a drink and looking at him with a smile.

Yue An accepted the call.

Ji Xiuyun did not say anything. First, he carefully sized up Yue An. After confirming that he was in good condition, he turned to look at Lady Ellie and nodded at her.

The purpose of Marshal Ji's call was very simple.

Get a marriage certificate.

Get a marriage certificate.

Get a marriage certificate together.

Important things had to be repeated three times.

Yue An sent Lady Ellie home and followed Ji Xiuyun to get a marriage certificate.

Ji Xiuyun drove at full speed in the privileged lane and arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau five minutes before it was time to close.

The media, who were about to go home, wash up, and continue to wait for tomorrow, were stunned. Before they realized that it was time to film, Yue An and Ji Xiuyun displayed their extraordinary physical fitness and flashed in front of the media and all kinds of cameras, leaving behind two afterimages.

Yue An turned around and looked at the media, who were moaning miserably outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. He felt that this kind of exercise was very exciting. He even wanted to walk around in front of them again to anger them to death!

Ji Xiuyun grabbed Yue An, who was about to peel off his skin, and dragged Yue An to the window. He handed over the paperwork and photos that he had taken beforehand.

One minute later, Ji Xiuyun received a red booklet.

It was a marriage certificate, so there was a copy of both the virtual information and the real thing.

In Marshal Ji's personal information, Yue An's name was also displayed in the blank spouse column.

Ji Xiuyun's anxious heart instantly calmed down … by half.

The other half of his heart would not be able to settle down. It depended on whether Fox had cute little female cats and whether Yue An would still try to raise a litter of kittens.

But speaking of kittens …

Ji Xiuyun turned to look at Yue An. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by the young lady at the window who was about to get the marriage certificate.

"Marshal Ji Xiuyun, can you tell me when you plan to hold your wedding?" the young lady behind the window asked softly.

Marshal Ji, who was holding the red booklet, was stunned.

Yue An, who was about to take the red booklet from Ji Xiuyun, was also stunned.

The two of them looked at each other and then shook their heads in unison.

Yue An did not like the kind of grand wedding ceremony that humans did.

To be honest, announcing in public that she was going to mate with this person was very romantic for a human who had a strong sense of shame!

Yue An was very unbelievable.

Ji Xiuyun, on the other hand, felt that they had three months of wedding leave. Instead of spending two months to prepare and hold a wedding, it was more worth it to take the time to go out with Yue An.

Yue An and Ji Xiuyun were relieved when they saw that they had the same attitude.

"We are not holding a wedding," Yue An flipped through the red booklet in his hand and then stuffed it back into Ji Xiuyun's arms uninterestedly.

The young lady behind the window was stunned for a while. She seemed to be in disbelief.

Regardless of whether she believed it or not, Yue An and Ji Xiuyun had already turned around and walked towards the door. They were ready to leave.

Yue An was still thinking about Ji Xiuyun's words about taking him out to have fun. "When are you going to start your wedding leave?"

Ji Xiuyun could clearly sense Yue An's restless heart.

He raised his hand and rubbed Yue An's head. "Tomorrow. It will take a week to complete the process and handover."

Yue An nodded and generously expressed that it was fine. It was just a week.

As the two of them approached the main entrance, the media started to stir.

With Yue An and Ji Xiuyun's hearing, they could clearly hear the shouts coming from the crowd.

"How long have the two of you been together?"

"May I ask if Marshal Kevin agrees to your marriage?"

"When will the two of you be holding your wedding?"

"May I ask how your marriage will affect the affairs of the military?!"

"Are the two of you truly in love or are you in a political marriage?"

"When will the two of you need!

Children!

Children! "

"…"

"…"

As soon as the last question was asked, the entire Civil Affairs Bureau fell silent.

Two seconds later, a new wave of excitement broke out!

That's right!

With their inhuman physique and genetic level, how awesome would the children be?

With the current genetic technology, it was no longer a big deal for same-sex couples to have children.

The media immediately started to explode again.

"Do the two of you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"Do the two of you have plans to have children?"

"Excuse me …"

Ji Xiuyun turned to look at Yue An and asked him, "Yue An, you don't actually need a female cat to have kittens."

Yue An frowned. "I don't want a man-made one!"

Ji Xiuyun shook his head.

"It's not man-made."

Yue An turned to look at Ji Xiuyun's stomach. "You're giving birth?"

"No, you're giving birth." Before Ji Xiuyun could finish his sentence, Yue An disappeared in front of him.

Immediately after, Marshal Ji saw the car that was parked outside shake twice and leave at a speed that was 20% faster than when it came.

After being kicked out of the room last night, Marshal Ji was once again abandoned outside by his partner.

Ji Xiuyun: "…"

He was just asking if he could make a wish for kittens.

How could he run so fast?
