No sooner had it finished speaking than a hand suddenly clamped down on Gu Tang's chin.
Immediately afterwards, a warm body pressed against him.
Someone whispered in his ear, "Awake? Pretending to be asleep? Hmm?"
The last "hmm?" was said almost right next to Gu Tang's ear.
Gu Tang's ears burned.
Her tender earlobe was already being held by the other person's warm lips.
"What?" the man asked again.
Her voice was deep and captivating, with a hint of mockery: "Is this because you don't want to face the fact that you actually slept with your husband, whom you're about to divorce, again? Hmm?"
A note from the author:
The second world begins, set in an interstellar world, with Marshal X, a botany professor at University.
Chapter 27 The Marshal Refuses to Divorce (1)
Those two "hmm" sounds were low and husky, languid yet tinged with a hint of sensuality.
Moreover, the man's hot breath was blowing directly onto Gu Tang's ear.
It's itchy, and incredibly alluring.
Gu Tang reached out and pressed against his chest, saying, "Wait a moment."
After he finished speaking, he calmly lay down on the bed, receiving the information about this world transmitted to him by the system in his mind.
Before figuring out the situation, Gu Tang chose to remain still for the time being.
The man chuckled softly and nimbly rolled off the ground.
Gu Tang had already received all the information, and he opened his eyes to look at the other person.
The tall man grabbed a black bathrobe and draped it over his body.
He casually tied on his bathrobe, nonchalantly revealing a large expanse of his tanned chest.
His exquisitely beautiful features, even stunning ones, were tinged with a hint of wickedness by his slightly mocking smile.
Perhaps sensing Gu Tang's gaze, the man raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Tang as well: "My lawyer will be here in an hour, so you should get ready."
Gu Tang continued to observe the other person without showing any emotion.
Qin Junche, his husband in this world.
The other party is still called Qin Junche.
Not only does it have this name, but its facial features also bear a striking resemblance to the person.
so……
Gu Tang subconsciously frowned slightly.
Was his failure to transcend the tribulation due to a deficiency in his Dao back then really because of Qin Junche?
Otherwise, how can we explain his deep obsession, with the other person's shadow appearing in every world?
However, the Qin Junche before them was completely different from both the Demon Lord of the previous world and Gu Tang, their eternally icy Daoist partner.
This is also a world that is completely unfamiliar to Gu Tang.
According to the information the system gave him, no one in this world practices cultivation.
The standard by which people judge whether a person is capable is their mental strength.
Only those with strong enough mental power can master powerful mechs, spaceships, and even some advanced high-tech weapons.
Qin Junche is an S-class warrior with exceptional mental strength in this world.
Born into nobility, he is now the marshal of the Star Army, the elite force of the empire.
Gu Tang himself has the lowest level of mental strength, F.
Born into a commoner family, he studied quite hard and is now a botany professor at an ordinary university in the empire.
Gu Tang: ...With such a vast difference in status, how could he marry Qin Junche?!
But that's the situation now.
He and Qin Junche have been married for six years and have a four-year-old son.
The Imperial Marshal was always busy.
Even though she's married and has children, she's rarely home.
In addition, Qin Junche not only comes from a family that is incredibly wealthy, but also possesses a handsome face and a great physique that are the envy of the entire empire.
Although he is married and has children, he has never lacked handsome men and beautiful women throwing themselves at him.
So Gu Tang, his first wife and a university professor, couldn't stand it anymore.
He wants a divorce!
The two have even agreed to discuss the specifics of their divorce today.
But the night before, they ended up in bed together again.
The information Gu Tang received from the system clearly showed that he was the one who initiated last night's accident.
He couldn't help but rub his temples; the relationships were so complicated and tangled.
[As the plot unfolds, after the original owner and the marshal divorced, their son Qin Xiao, the protagonist of this world's story, would live with Qin Junche and be raised by him. The child, already mildly autistic, became even more withdrawn due to years of being alone at home and lacking paternal love. Although he grew up to become a top-tier warrior of the empire, like his father, due to his super-S mental strength, his command abilities were extremely weak. He was unable to coordinate with his comrades and could only fight alone, ultimately dying in a major battle at a young age, forever remaining in the empire's history as a hero for future generations to remember.] The system then went on to say a lot more: [Please clarify your mission, host, and change the protagonist's fate of dying young in battle.]
Gu Tang quickly organized the information he had obtained in his mind, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
This task is actually very simple.
Since we're getting divorced anyway, I'll just try to get the child to stay with him.
A botany professor at an ordinary university in the capital city—his status is not as glamorous as that of an imperial marshal.
But raising a child is still not a problem.
Moreover, he should spend more time with his children.
but……
Gu Tang looked at Qin Junche with some wariness.
The other person was still standing by the bed, smiling lazily.
Meeting his gaze, Qin Junche even leaned down with great interest.
His high, straight nose slid ambiguously down Gu Tang's profile.
"Too tired last night?" Qin Junche chuckled softly, asking with amusement, "Then should I tell the lawyer not to come today? We can talk again tomorrow?"
The soft laugh carried a hint of irony.
It seems there are still some things hidden that even Gu Tang cannot understand.
"No need." Gu Tang waved his hand, calmly lifting the covers and getting out of bed. "Let's do it today, after all, you're usually so busy."
The sooner you get a divorce, the sooner you can complete your mission!
He needs to win custody of Qin Xiao as soon as possible.
While brushing his teeth, Gu Tang looked at himself in the mirror.
He had short black hair, a calm expression, and his features were just like his personality—very ordinary.
At least……
Gu Tangyue looked in the mirror at Qin Junche, who was leaning against the bathroom door with his arms crossed.
Compared to Qin Junche, he was indeed far inferior in appearance.
A man like Qin Junche would be an amazingly handsome man anywhere.
Gu Tang quickly finished washing up.
He stuffed the last piece of whole wheat bread into his mouth, and then he heard another person's voice coming from the other side of the door.
When he changed into a shirt and trousers and came downstairs, Qin Junche was already sitting in the living room with a middle-aged man.
Gu Tang recognized the man; he was Wang Wei, the lawyer in charge of the entire Qin family's affairs.
Wang Wei was also fully responsible for handling the prenuptial property notarization between him and Qin Junche.
"Teacher Gu." Wang Wei stood up quickly upon seeing him and greeted him politely.
Qin Junche also stood up, and gestured with his chin toward the restaurant: "Let's talk over there."
Across the dining table, Gu Tang discreetly observed Qin Junche and Wang Wei sitting opposite him.
When the young Imperial Marshal was at home, he dressed very casually.
A dark gray V-neck cashmere sweater paired with black casual trousers.
He casually placed his hands on the dining table, his slender fingers toying with a black pen rather absentmindedly.
A smile always graced her lips, making her appear relaxed and content.
It seems she doesn't care at all about her impending divorce.
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Gu Tang looked at Qin Junche thoughtfully.
They had a prenuptial agreement.
Wang Wei and his team, who work for him, are the empire's top legal team and would never allow Gu Tang to take advantage of Qin Junche.
Qin Junche is a handsome, wealthy, and powerful empire god. Becoming single again will only make his life more comfortable and free.
Gu Tang was lost in thought when Wang Wei smiled slightly at him again.
He handed over a stack of documents: "Professor Gu, this is your and Marshal's joint property. According to the prenuptial agreement and property notarization you signed, I have worked overnight to come up with the specific distribution plan for the property. Please take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be modified."
Gu Tang took the thick stack of documents, flipped through them casually, and placed them on the table: "I have no objection."
