The Assassin's Enemy Lover

531 I said before that he behaves like a married man

It lay down and happily made a soft wee sound as Yi Chen’s chest rose and fell. “When is your dad coming back? I miss him already,” he said as he lightly brushed the fur on the little guy with his fingertips.

“I think I should tell them I am fine, right? I am sober enough to tell them that, right?” he said and the little guy rolled over and stared at him as though acquiescing to his words.

Yi Chen seemed to accept the advice of the little cutie and got up leaving it lying comfortably on the bed. He entered the bathroom and checked his appearance like a tipsy person trying to prove that he wasn’t that drunk.

After fixing his hair a little he was satisfied. He sat up down on the desk and called out, “Raylan.”

A soft melodious sound followed as Raylan answered, “Yes sir.”

“Open my StarNet account and set up a live feed,” he said and Raylan didn’t ask any questions. If it was Hydra it would have been questioning his judgment and giving advice. It would have advised him to use official channels rather than make an official announcement on StarNet.

It would be best if he had his admirals around. They would have told him how bad of an idea this was. The floating screen showed his face and he checked the lighting and background before starting the live broadcast.

Soon notifications that the Marshal was online popped up on people’s light brains and the man that hadn’t been seen for so long appeared safe and sound. He had lost a little weight but he seemed unscathed. A barrage of comments soon followed with some calling out husband, others calling out Marshal happily like obedient followers, and others cursing Zi Han to death for harming their Marshal.

Yi Chen didn’t care for the husband cries neither did he care for the comments of admiration. The ones that irked him most were the ones cursing Zi Han. Annoyed he commanded, “Raylan, tell admiral Li to hold everyone who is cursing my wife, I mean Mr. Zi on StarNet to be held accountable.”

.....

The bullet screen:...

Yes, he had conveniently forgotten to mute when he issued this order.

“Yes sir,” replied Raylan, and Yi Chen continued,

“I am Marshal Yi, the fifty-ninth Marshal of Onyx Federation Interplanetary Army. Sheba can confirm my identity for those who are sceptical,” he said his voice as chilling as the snow caps of Loch Ness star.

“I had been missing in action but Mr. Zi came to rescue me. He is the reason why I am here speaking with you today. I have heard some disconcerting things said about Mr. Zi and I am unamused. Mr. Zi is my benefactor thus he should be treated as such. I will not be immediately resuming my duties as the Marshal anytime soon for health reasons.”

While he was continuing with his speech the barrage of comments were going crazy with the word wife constantly making an appearance and the little nim nim who was being well-behaved so far was now climbing up the desk curious to see what its father was doing.

Yi Chen could see it was struggling thus he helped it up and placed it on the desk. The little nimsel was very appreciative thus it rubbed against Yi Chen’s fingers like a cat with a contented wee sound.

One can only imagine people’s reactions seeing a cold-faced Marshal playing with a cute fluffy thing. It was truly a sight to behold.

The door slid open with a swoosh and Yi Chen turned his head not even meaning to hide it at all. Zi Han entered the cabin and when he met Yi Chen’s gaze he smiled his face radiant like a blossoming orchid under the morning sun.

This image of Zi Han was captured in the live broadcast setting up a storm. Who would have thought the cold ruthless killer who was a hero to others and a death sentence to evildoers could smile like that stealing one’s heart and soul?

“What are you doing?” asked Zi Han while walking towards him. Before Yi Chen could respond, Zi Han kissed his cheek and Yi Chen subconsciously raised his hand and stroked the back of Zi Han’s neck.

[AAAAAHHHHH my eyes]

[I will die a happy woman. Sisters did you see that?]

[I said before that he behaves like a married man. They look like an old couple.]

The joyous comments of hardcore fujoshis flooded the screen overpowering the hateful comments that didn’t deserve to be seen by the world.

Zi Han let go of him as he left the frame of the camera and asked, “Did you drink?”

Yi Chen immediately abandoned the live broadcast and stood up following Zi Han to the bathroom like he had been hypnotised.

The emperor who was about to tell the world he was in love with his wife, “...”

That little rascal beat him to it. If he was to show off his wife it would look like he was competing with his son in law. His plan was simple. He would let the world know that he was taking back the throne, punish the prime ministers, crown his empress, and then kiss her in public but Yi Chen had to go on and jump the gun.

“This isn’t what I meant by clearing things up. What is he thinking?” yelled Yeoh Jun very dissatisfied.

Zi Xingxi fixed his collar while saying, “Why does the method matter? It’s the effect that’s most important. At least now no one will have the balls to curse our son on StarNet... Now stop whining.”

Yeoh Jun who was not whining but very upset hugged his wife seeming aggrieved as he complained.

“It matters. You just don’t understand,” he whispered but he didn’t dare tell her of his plan. He hugged her tightly and said,

“I can’t wait for you to be my empress. I will give you my mother’s crown and you will sit by my side.”

Zi Xingxi who thought she was already his empress rubbed the tip of her nose on his neck and whispered, “I thought I was already your empress from the day you married me.”

This was what many aspired to have. A person who loves them for them and would do anything to keep them happy. Yeoh Jun had found that person decades ago and he would be stupid if he were to let her go.
