Ruan Mingchu: "Is the game fun?"
Mu Yu nodded without hesitation. Although the new game was still in testing and somewhat unstable, it already simulated virtual opponents who were exactly like the player, not only in terms of strength but also in terms of strategy. The battles were incredibly exciting, and every match was very rewarding.
It is said that in the future, virtual opponents with adjustable strength will be able to be simulated, which Mu Yu is looking forward to.
Seeing Mu Yu's wandering gaze, Ruan Mingchu knew he was reminiscing about how fun the game was.
Ruan Mingchu asked, "Is the game important?"
Mu Yu nodded without hesitation; a game that could improve one's strength was certainly important.
Ruan Mingchu inwardly pursed his lips; he was jealous!
He then asked, "Is the game more important or am I more important?"
Here comes the classic Q&A.
Mu Yu answered without hesitation: "You."
It was purely out of instinct; the purpose of improving strength was to catch up with Ruan Minh Thu's pace, and ultimately it was all for Ruan Minh Thu's sake, so naturally Ruan Minh Thu was more important.
After answering, Mu Yu realized what she had said, and her cheeks quickly flushed red again.
“Ahem,” Ruan Mingchu was very satisfied with Mu Yu’s answer, “You are also the most important to me.”
Fortunately, Mu Yu did not hesitate, otherwise Ruan Mingchu would have been relentless; jealous men are irrational.
Mu Yu's head was still down, his face was burning hot, and his heart was burning too.
Wait, something's not right. Mu Yu looked up and asked, "So you came all this way just to ask me this?"
Ruan Mingchu blinked innocently, his instincts telling him he absolutely couldn't admit it.
"Of course not."
Ruan Mingchu sat down next to Mu Yu. "We're going back now, so I'd like you to meet my father. Also, I'd like to meet Marshal Mu and your mother, and everyone else as well."
Of course, the important thing is not meeting in person, but meeting in the context of a relationship.
When Ruan Mingchu mentioned this, Mu Yu thought of a question he had pondered before.
For Ruan Mingchu, Mu Yu's face couldn't hide anything; his thoughts were all written on his face.
Then Ruan Mingchu noticed that Mu Yu became melancholy after he suggested meeting.
? ? ?
Does Mu Yu not want to meet his father, or does he not want him to meet his parents?
Ruan Mingchu's heart clenched.
Mu Yu's face scrunched up in distress.
Unable to contain herself any longer, Ruan Mingchu asked him, "What are your concerns?"
Mu Yu hesitated for a long time, then finally said, "If your father doesn't like me..."
Ruan Mingchu didn't react for a moment, "What do you want him to like to do?"
Pastoral metaphor: ...
Look at what they're saying! Even Mu Yu, who always refers to his father as Marshal and maintains a very distant relationship with him, felt that this was inappropriate.
In normal families, unless both parents are deceased or have a very bad relationship, one would have to consider whether the other party's parents are satisfied with them.
Ruan Mingchu looked completely innocent after being glared at.
He explained, "My father is like that; he doesn't even care about me and has no special feelings for me. I think it's the same for you. Letting you meet him is just to let him know so that he doesn't not recognize you."
Mu Yu frowned deeply. Was their relationship bad? But he remembered that Marshal Mu had once remarked on how much the emperor favored the crown prince.
Ruan Mingchu smoothed out Mu Yu's brow: "If you don't want to see him, then don't. I'll show him your photo; it'll have the same effect."
“No,” Mu Yu said, “I must see him.” It’s never good if the father and son have a bad relationship; he has to go and see how things are going.
"Okay, then I'll arrange a time with him."
Seeing that Mu Yu didn't continue, Ruan Mingchu coughed again, not only preventing Mu Yu from remembering "him meeting Mu Yu's parents," but also sending Mu Yu to the kitchen to busy himself.
"Why do you keep coughing? I'll go make you some rock sugar pear soup."
Ruan Mingchu: No, I don't want to drink water. I just want to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law and establish my position.
He couldn't tell whether Mu Yu didn't want to bring it up or had truly forgotten.
If he doesn't want to bring it up, he can't keep bothering people.
If I forget...
How about stewing some pig brains to nourish the body?

Author's Note:
Mu Yu: Something feels off.
63 The Beginning of Change Through Pioneering
After drinking two liters of rock sugar pear water, Mu Yu finally felt relieved and went back to playing games.
He still said the game wasn't important. Ruan Mingchu stared resentfully at Mu Yu's helmeted head, and only felt better after glaring at him several times.
He turned and went into the kitchen. He searched online for what's best for brain health, and found that many netizens shared his opinion. Ruan Mingchu decided to make a yam and pig brain soup.
However, there were neither yams nor pig brains here, and Ruan Mingchu fell into deep thought.
After considering many alternatives, Ruan Mingchu was unable to make yam and pig brain soup. He could only regretfully write the plan down in his notebook.
After drifting in space for several days, the starship finally landed at the interplanetary port.
The interstellar port on the Imperial Star still sees a huge flow of people; if you're not careful while getting off the spaceship together, you could easily be swept away.
Using this as an excuse, Ruan Mingchu held Mu Yu's hand firmly. Although Mu Yu kept his head down, he did not refuse.
As soon as Banlan came down, he started clamoring to go back to Satellite 10 and find his friends.
Ruan Mingchu was annoyed by the noise, so she simply packed him up and threw him onto the spaceship heading to Satellite 10, saying, "Jiang Fang will meet you there when we arrive."
Before boarding the spaceship, Banlan held up two fingers and emphasized, "It's as big as two courtyards!"
Ruan Mingchu: "I gave them all to Sister Jiang. Ask her for them."
After seeing Banlan off, Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu boarded the flying vehicle that had come to pick them up, and soon flew to the palace.
As soon as Ruan Mingchu stepped off the aircraft, he saw the Grand Steward's slightly eerie smile, and the various stewards following behind him.
Everyone greeted Ruan Mingchu and his companion.
Ruan Mingchu: "No need, what brings you here?"
The Grand Steward was his father's right-hand man, and usually followed behind his father. Why would he come to pick him up now, and with so many people?
A very unfriendly suspicion arose in Ruan Mingchu's mind.
The chief steward smiled slightly: "Your Highness, before Mr. Qing left, he instructed that when you return, you will be the master of the palace, and all matters will be at your command."
Ruan Mingchu scoffed inwardly. Sure enough, Qingyao, that scoundrel, only knew how to trick people. No wonder Qingyao had told him to wait at the palace before meeting his father; it turned out he was waiting for him here.
"Grand Eunuch, my father is still alive and well, how could I overstep my bounds? Please don't say such things again."
Nguyen Minh Thu strongly rejected this practice of confining him to the palace and quickly prepared to escape.
The Grand Eunuch ruthlessly blocked them, saying, "In any case, whether it's temporary or permanent, this palace and this empire always need a master. Wait until His Majesty returns, then you can discuss it with him. Please don't make things difficult for those of us who are just following orders."
Nguyen Minh Thu and Mu Ngoc had no choice but to stay in the palace for the time being.
Mu Yu is alright; at least he doesn't have to work here. Qing Yao abducted Ruan Huang without a word, leaving a huge backlog of things to deal with. Ruan Mingchu arrived in the morning and didn't finish dealing with those matters until the third day.
Ruan Mingchu cursed Qingyao countless times after reviewing and signing numerous documents.
Qingyao, it's all nobody's business.
Emerging from the study, Ruan Mingchu stretched and loosened his limbs. This was truly the first time he had sat at a desk for so long. In the military, such matters were handled by his adjutant Zhao; he only needed to oversee the major issues. He never imagined that being the emperor would be more tiring than being an adjutant.
This incident solidified Ruan Minhchu's determination to cultivate a successor. The marriage had to be completed first before anything else could proceed. The two families needed to meet before the wedding, and the ceremony itself had to be carefully prepared; it was a once-in-a-lifetime event and couldn't be taken lightly.
However, the most important thing is to bring Qingyao and his father back.
Ruan Minh Thu said nothing about the handling of government affairs, but tentatively asked the two when they would return to meet their son's partner.
Qingyao actually replied that he had seen him before and that he would definitely come to the wedding, which meant that he had no intention of coming back at all.
Ruan Mingchu understood his attitude.
Since you are unkind, don't blame him for being unjust.
After turning off the news that had caused his blood pressure to spike, Ruan Mingchu went straight to his bedchamber. He hadn't slept for three days, and he wanted to hold Mu Xiaoyu and have a good sleep.
When they arrived at the bedchamber, Mu Yu was not there.
We agreed to play games here, Mu Xiaoyu's words are definitely a lie.
Ruan Mingchu asked the waiter outside and found the training ground.
The palace also has its own guards, who usually train here, and Mu Yu is training with them on the training ground.
In terms of both completion and visual appeal, Mu Yu was the best. Ruan Mingchu enjoyed watching it for a while before dragging Mu Xiaoyu over after this round was over.
Amidst the greetings and salutations of the crowd, he led Mu Yu back to his bedchamber.
Ruan Mingchu asked, "What, finally stopped playing games?"
Mu Yu hummed in agreement. "The game upgrade will take two days."
She thought they were finally getting tired of each other, but it turned out to be an upgrade. Ruan Mingchu sighed and told Mu Yu about her troubles.
"How do you think I should trick Qingyao into coming back?"
Talking to him normally would definitely not work; Qingyao is full of wicked ideas and is plotting to harm his son.
Suddenly asked this question, Mu Yu couldn't think of any good solutions. "Let's look on the Treasure app and see if there's anything we can learn from it."
Ruan Mingchu's plan to go to sleep failed because the naive boy was immediately captivated by the dazzling world inside the treasure app. Luckily, he had a strong purpose and watched selectively, otherwise he might have been addicted for a long time.
He and Mu Yu discussed it and decided to start with the simplest method: feigning illness.
