A top-tier gigolo, teased by a cool and aloof general, turns warm.

Chapter 120 We must not favor one over the other

Marriage Bureau.

The workaholic pushed up his glasses, his forehead covered in sweat.

He spoke again to confirm, "Congressman Robert, are you sure you want to dissolve your marriage with Lord Musey?"

"Sure."

Musi's voice was firm and crisp.

The instant he finished speaking, Robert added, "Uncertain."

The two insects spoke almost in unison, one affirming and the other denying.

Musi completely ignored Robert's answer; his gaze remained fixed on the work bug.

Making no attempt to hide his eagerness, he urged, "No need to persuade me anymore, just get it done quickly."

Faced with Musi's urging, the workaholic did not respond immediately.

Instead, he dialed Minister Baru's number right in front of them.

Balu's voice came through the communicator soon after he learned that Musi wanted a divorce.

He pressed his temples, seemingly troubled by the news.

After a moment of silence, Baru slowly spoke: "Little brother, I know Robert is ugly, selfish and stingy, and he is indeed not good enough for you."

"But all the males in the entire empire who are better off than him have already married females. Don't you want to reconsider?"

Upon hearing Baru's words, Robert's face instantly turned as black as ink.

He retorted angrily, "Baru, who are you calling ugly? Me, selfish and petty? I'm only being treated this way because you guys forced me to be."

"Hmph, vegetable bases are all over the country, and they're losing money every year. Do you know how much pressure I'm under?"

At the mention of money, Balu's eyes lit up.

He sat upright at his desk, his brows furrowed, as if he were dealing with something urgent.

He flew into a rage at his subordinates.

"I've told you so many times, when you encounter technical difficulties, you should forge ahead bravely and not back down. Only by constantly breaking through barriers can we make progress!"

His voice was deafening, as if it would shatter the insect's eardrums.

The insect in the office was stunned, completely unsure how to respond.

Just then, Balu suddenly hung up the video call.

The staff member at the marriage bureau stared blankly at the screen.

Should we get a divorce or not?

He really couldn't understand it.

Why did Minister Baru hang up the video call? Was it really because of work-related matters?

"Lord Musi, if I may ask, does General Chris know you are getting a divorce?"

"Yes, I was being too talkative."

Mu Xi smiled slightly, her slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk.

"If I were to ask His Majesty for a job at the Marriage Bureau, he would probably agree!"

His tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

The fact that a former war god is going to work at the marriage bureau is undoubtedly an undisguised threat.

The worker smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere.

His smile was gentle and kind, which made Chong feel a sense of goodwill.

"Okay, I'll process the necessary paperwork for you right away."

Robert, standing beside him, snorted coldly and stared straight at Musi.

"It's not too late for you to regret it now. As long as you don't get a divorce, you'll still be the Congresswoman Queen, and no one can shake your position."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "And if you don't want to see those annoying female insects anymore, I can send them all out of the mansion so they won't get in your way..."

As they were speaking, the marriage bureau's system emitted a crisp notification sound.

[Ding! Robert and Musi have dissolved their marriage and are now single.]

Upon hearing this good news, Mu Xi stood up without hesitation, turned around, and strode towards the door.

She didn't even want to say another word to Robert.

Seeing this, Robert felt another surge of anger.

He glared at the workaholic, then quickly stood up and chased after him.

"Xixi, wait for me! It's not safe outside. Let me take you home, okay? We can remarry after you've calmed down..."

"Congressman Robert, please watch your words and actions. We are divorced. Please maintain a safe distance."

Mu Xi said expressionlessly.

He quickened his pace, not wanting to have anything more to do with Robert.

I quickly walked outside and saw Shi Yu walking towards me with a smile.

Mu Xi felt a little better and waved to Shi Yu.

He called out, "Xiaoshi, let's go home."

Shi Yu's face was beaming with a bright smile.

He glanced at Musi, then at Robert who came out from behind.

He deliberately suggested loudly, "Father-in-law, you're single again now, that's something to celebrate!"

How about we go to a fancy restaurant and celebrate properly?

Hearing Shi Yu's words, Mu Xi felt much of the gloom in her heart dissipate.

His lips curled up slightly, revealing a rare smile.

"Yeah, you're right, we should have a bachelor party to celebrate."

Robert heard every word of the two insects' conversation.

He stayed close to Muxi, with no intention of letting them leave.

"Shi Yu, I'm your father, you can't favor one over the other! I want to attend this bachelor/bachelor party too."

Shi Yu had a smile on his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

They're already divorced, yet she's still clinging to him relentlessly.

Belated affection is as worthless as weeds.

"Lord Robert, you have so many sons, while the female father only has Chris. What's wrong with me showing him some favoritism?"

Upon hearing this, Robert's face instantly darkened.

She glared at Mu Xi and said, "You, you'd better not regret this. There are plenty of insects who want to be my queen."

After saying that, he turned around abruptly and strode away without looking back.

As Shi Yu watched Robert's retreating figure, he turned to look at Xiang Muxi with some concern.

She asked softly, "Father-in-law, are you alright?"

Muxi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

He forced a smile. "I'm fine. He's the one who's in trouble."

Countless fragments of memories flooded Mu Xi's mind.

All those moments of love he once shared with Robert have now become sharp knives, mercilessly piercing his heart.

They were once deeply in love, and each other was the only one in their eyes.

However, as time went on, their conflicts increased and their arguments became more frequent.

Each argument was like a cut in their relationship; although the wound would slowly heal, the scars left behind could never be erased.

Now, their relationship has become so distant that even arguing has become superfluous.

Mu Xi chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I was almost unrecognizable to myself. Thanks to the Insect God, I'm finally free."

Shi Yu naturally understood that letting go of a relationship was not an easy task.

He looked at Mu Xi with heartache and comforted her, "Father, congratulations on welcoming a new life. Let bygones be bygones."

Today I'll go shopping with you; let's forget all those unhappy things.

Mu Xi slightly raised her chin, trying to cheer herself up.

"I only want the most expensive one."

In that instant, he regained his usual arrogance.

"So what if we're divorced? I'm still Musi Winter, and those sluts won't get to laugh at me."
