Li Zhiyu and others stood there, watching Ji Mian and Chu Shiye walk away. During this time, Ji Mian turned his face to Chu Shiye, and Chu Shiye immediately lowered his head to talk to him.
Li Zhiyu suddenly asked, "Mr. Ji, are you willing to go with us?"
Parker: "Didn't he say that he had already broken off with his family? That family is really inhumane. I would break off with them too if I were asked to do so."
"Even if he breaks with the family, given his position, will he stand on our side?" Li Zhiyu said, "I wonder if the boss's beauty trap will work."
Linda: "I feel like Mr. Ji's honey trap might be more effective. Maybe the boss will be kidnapped."
The three of them fell silent.
On the other side, Ji Mian held Chu Shiye's hand and wandered aimlessly in the spaceship.
After a while, Chu Shiye whispered, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go back and rest?"
Ji Mian shook his head. The next second, he said calmly, "We have already crossed the border of the empire."
The Federation and the Empire once faced off, but they reached a peace agreement decades ago, and are now in a friendly stage of non-interference.
Chu Shiye paused.
Ji Mian said in a light tone: "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to leave and take me to the Empire?"
Chu Shiye: “…”
Chu Shiye’s body stiffened, and his first reaction was that Amian had discovered it.
Will Amian be angry
His expression became tense, but soon he realized that Ji Mian didn't seem angry... He silently moved closer and hugged him.
"The Federation has been chasing us." Chu Shiye whispered, "I don't want you to be caught by them and marry someone else."
Ji Mian: "Well, this should be one of the reasons."
"The person who saved you must be from the Empire."
His words made Chu Shiye freeze again.
Ji Mian continued: "I guess, maybe after you were rescued, you discovered something related to your life experience?"
"For example, your parents are actually from the Empire?"
Chu Shiye: “…”
After Ji Mian learned from Kane about Chu Shiye's abandonment in the past, he guessed at the time that the person who abandoned Chu Shiye was either from the Seventh Galaxy of the Federation or from an empire outside the Seventh Galaxy.
At this moment, Chu Shiye fell silent after being hit by Ji Mian's words.
Amian is so smart.
… How come nothing can be hidden from him
Chu Shiye stole a glance at Ji Mian's face and heard Ji Mian still say calmly: "You returned to the empire because you felt you could better protect me here, right?"
Chu Shiye nodded immediately.
That was indeed what he thought.
Ji Mian: "So, are you planning to join the Empire?"
Chu Shiye immediately shook his head.
"My adoptive father lives in the Federation, which is where I grew up," he said, "and..."
Although the relatives of the Empire rescued him and treated him well, they wanted to trap him in that manor in the name of "protection".
He couldn't accept this.
"I want to stay here for a while until the storm is over." Chu Shiye said, "Then, I will join the Mercenary Association with you. Wherever you want to go, I will go there."
Ji Mian said: "Actually, if you want to stay here, I can accompany you."
