Qin Shuang’s words struck Yun Xingze’s head like a bolt from the blue.

He opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

“How is this possible…” Yun Xingze said blankly.

Although he didn’t want to believe this in his heart, what happened to Su Zinan and Eugene reminded him that it wasn’t impossible.

The former “alpha and omegas must be combined” law only took effect on barren stars, in order to ensure the birth rate of those barren stars.

Now, the relationship between the Empire and the Alliance is tense, so expanding the effective scope of this law seems to be a normal thing.

Qin Shuang looked at Yun Xingze’s lost expression due to shock, and felt a little guilty in her heart. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “Your father originally planned to tell you the news after you entered the banquet hall. However, I didn’t want to deceive you about this.”

“Although I always think you should marry Chi Yu… I still think you have the right to know before the engagement banquet starts.”

Recovering from the shock, Yun Xingze looked at Qin Shuang and sneered sarcastically. “So, I should thank you?”

Qin Shuang knew that Yun Xingze would definitely hate her, the Yun family, and the Chi family.

But she had no other choice.

Qin Shuang lowered her eyes and said, “Don’t be angry, Xingze…”

Yun Xingze knew that it was useless to be angry now. His brain began to run fast, thinking about how to escape from the hotel.

But Qin Shuang quickly saw what Yun Xingze was thinking, and said to him: “Don’t think about running away. When the law takes effect, your pheromone will definitely be bound to Chi Yu. His is the highest matching alpha for you. No one is higher.”

Unlike Qin Shuang’s previous tone of persuading Yun Xingze to marry Chi Yu, her words…

Were filled with a little helplessness.

Yun Xingze’s fingers clenched tightly. He didn’t expect that such a ridiculous thing would happen to him.

Yun Xingze’s throat rolled as he looked at Qin Shuang. “This is why you lied to me to come back? Is this what you want to see?”

His voice carried deep disgust and hatred.

“I’m not the one making the final decision.” Qin Shuang closed her eyes, and her voice became softer and softer. “I advised you to marry Chi Yu for the sake of the family, and also because your father asked me to do it. Telling you this matter before the banquet is the limit of what I can do.”

“Qin Shuang,” Yun Xingze looked at her and asked earnestly. “Do you really want to see your son being forced to marry someone else?”

Qin Shuang startled at his words.

She suddenly remembered that back then, she also questioned her parents in the same way.

Perhaps it was because of the influence of the Yun family on her, or because she had been walking on thin ice between the company and her family for too long.

Don’t know when, but for these so-called family interests, she became the one she hates the most.

At this moment, Qin Shuang’s eyes were even more guilty towards Yun Xingze.

She could only say “sorry” to Yun Xingze.

“Saying sorry is cheap.” Yun Xingze gradually calmed down, his words bitingly cold. “Qin Shuang, I once told you that the value of an omega is never realized through marriage. I still think so even now.”

“But, this is the reality.” Qin Shuang couldn’t hold back her emotions. Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. “I also told you that this society doesn’t give omegas a chance at all. Isn’t this law enough to prove this?”

Yun Xingze looked at Qin Shuang with mixed feelings.

Of course Qin Shuang was wrong.

But it wasn’t all her fault.

“Besides, it’s good to marry Chi Yu,” Qin Shuang swallowed, choking back the tears, and soon regained her usual calm appearance, “Yun Xingze, the Chi family will not treat you badly. Our company will also get better. If you want to use mecha, let alone an 8 million star mecha, even the 80 million mechas will be yours in the future…”

“Marry Chi Yu and become a tool of the Chi family, serve him with my head down.” Yun Xingze interrupted Qin Shuang’s words. “You are willing to do such a thing, but I don’t want to.”

Qin Shuang looked at Yun Xingze, and after a long time, she sighed: “Accept your fate. ”

After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, vision darkening as she turned away.

She doesn’t seem to be happy because of Chi Yu and Yun Xingze’s marriage.

After Qin Shuang left, Yun Xingze should have been panicking and anxious.

But at this moment, he was unprecedentedly calm.

In Yun Xingze’s mind, he suddenly thought of the fates of the original owner and Eugene from the research institute.

He closed his eyes and gently stroked the gland on the right side of his neck with his fingers, tracing the soft vessels, the texture of skin, and the peaceful pulse.

Just because he is an omega and has a pheromone that highly matches Chi Yu, he has to bind his life with Chi Yu?

On the first day that Yun Xingze came to this world, he has been trying to get rid of such a fate.

In his last life, he fought against the disease for more than 20 years, and he was still contributing to the field of mecha before he died.

How could he bow his head to fate?

After a while, Yun Xingze opened his eyes, with a firm diamond-like light in his eyes.

He has already made a decision in his mind.

Yun Xingze opened his backpack and found a small box which was given by Luo Wenchuan for self-defense before they parted. It contained a small light knife and a particle cannon.

Yun Xingze picked up the light knife.

Before the button was pressed, it was just a short length of silver for the handle.

When the button is pressed, particles are launched from the top of the handle, forming a light knife that cuts gold and breaks jade.

Yun Xingze stared at the hilt for a while, raised it, and gestured a few times near his neck.

The size is convenient enough for him to complete the action of cutting the gland.

Yun Xingze put the hilt of the knife into the pocket of his formalwear. He was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

He turned on his optical brain and sent Luo Wenchuan a message.

After doing this, Yun Xingze sorted out his emotions and walked out of the lounge.

Yun Changsheng just came to look for Yun Xingze, and hooked his shoulder with a smile: “The Chi family is here, let’s go quickly.”

It was five o’clock sharp.

The royal press conference was officially held, and the figures of the king and queen appeared in the golden conference hall.

The king made a routine speech and announced the identity of the second prince. Luo Wenchuan appeared in the public eye for the first time.

Flashes kept hitting Luo Wenchuan in the face.

Including automated filming robots, as well as reporters from various galaxies, everyone was full of curiosity about this mysterious second prince. They knew that as long as it was news about him, they would definitely earn enough traffic tonight.

The moment Luo Wenchuan appeared in front of the camera.

All the students of the Xinghai Military Academy who were watching the live broadcast were collectively petrified in place.

“This, this fucking…”

“Luo Wenchuan is…he is the second prince???”

“What the hell? The prince is actually by my side?!”

“Oh my God, what kind of magical plot is this! Luo Wenchuan, isn’t that a poor boy from the barren star?!”

“It turns out that the second prince was also driven to the barren star to grow up…”

“Damn!! I’m actually a classmate with the second prince?!”

The king looked at the ministers and reporters in the conference hall, his voice was strong, and it spread throughout the conference hall into the microphone, and at the same time through the star network to every corner of the interstellar empire: “Before announcing the identity of the heir, I would like to announce one thing:”

“Article 23 of the Marriage Law, ‘Highly matched alpha and omega must be together’. After discussion at the meeting, it was decided to extend its scope of application from the barren star area to the whole country, in order to deal with the increasingly tense relationship between the Empire and the Alliance…”

As soon as these words came out, thousands of waves were immediately aroused.

Hearing this, Luo Wenchuan widened his eyes.

He sat next to the queen, lowered his voice, frowned and asked the queen: “What’s going on? When was this meeting?!”

“It was held several times before.” The queen said slowly. “It was decided not long ago…”

One more part till chapter 73 is over. And the drama continues…
