Yu Jinli turned to Qiao Mulan and Jiang Zhentao for their opinion. After all, it was dad and mom’s home, he needed their permission.

Gracefully, Qiao Mulan smiled and said: “I don't want my little chestnut to work so hard every day. If you want to have a good dinner, go to a restaurant.”

She had noticed that her son wasn’t quite happy with Shen Qian. Normally, she wouldn't be able to do that given her son's signature poker face and reserved personality.

However, just now, for a split second, Jiang Mosheng failed to hide his emotions. Though it was just a moment, Qiao Mulan still caught that as a mom.

Upset and sour, clearly Jiang Mosheng was jealous. So excited, that realization almost threw her off the chair. Thank god that she had kept herself under control. Otherwise it would be very inappropriate.

Qiao Mulan was happy to see that her son cared about Yu Jinli, which meant a knot would be tied soon. There was no way that she was going to get her son a rival in love, not even the son of her long-time friend.

Little chestnut was her son-in-law. No one could take him away from her son!

“Haha, of course not, Aunt Qiao. Just ask little chestnut to cook a dish or two when I’m here for the tests. Is that alright?” asked Shen Qian expectantly.

Ever since he had a taste of little chestnut’s cooking, he didn't care about other food any more. If he couldn't eat little chestnut’s cooking, there was nothing left to live for.

Qiao Mulan didn’t want to get her son a rival in love, however, Shen Qian was her son’s doctor plus friend who would come over regularly to give her son tests. It would be unreasonable if she didn't agree to that little request.

Though she didn’t know why, little chestnut did cook every evening. Therefore, if Shen Qian came for the tests, he would have the chance to eat little chestnut’s cooking if he stayed.

Thank god it was just a weekly test.

A week passed quickly. Several things happened during this time.

First, Jiang Mosheng was in a better state. Though his super core healed in a slow pace without showing any signs on the medical equipment, he could feel it clearly.

Except for the super core, everything was changing for the better. The toxin didn't spread anymore. He was healthy enough to go out.

Second, Yu Jinli had signed Star Origin as an exclusive steamer with strong recommendation and a lot of resources. In a week, he had over a million fans, the number of which kept growing in a fast speed. Also, he collected a lot of Power of Faith every day.

Liu Xingyuan, Zhang Xiaojie and Yu Jinli were all happy. It was a win-win situation.

Third, nobody knew about Jiang Mosheng’s condition except his family and Shen Qian so rumors online had turned ugly.

It was said that Jiang Mosheng was dying. Moreover, his obituary was everywhere. His fans wouldn't believe it and asked Jiang Family to make an official statement so Jiang Family was under great pressure recently.

Besides, with an approaching election, there was also pressure from military headquarter and parliament.

[I don't believe my Prince Charming died. It must have been a rumor, rumor! Anyone from Jiang Family please tell me that my Prince Charming didn't die, that he is alive and well.]

[I don't want Prince Charming dead. He is brilliant. What are we going to do without him? What is our Federation going to do? He is the hero of our Federation. Why doesn't the Federation save him? There are so many doctors in the Federation and nobody could save him? *Sobs...]

[No! Prince Charming is amazing. He won’t die easily. It must be a rumor. I recall that the election is coming. Someone must be trying to beat down Jiang Family. We can’t let that happen while Prince Charming is still in recovery. Let’s keep supporting Jiang Family and Prince Charming!]

[Huh, retarded fangirl. No matter how amazing your Prince Charming is, he is just a human being. Human beings die, let alone in a battle against Zerg Overmind, which means more possibility of death.]

[Go away! Prince Charming won't die. He is the god of our Federation!]

Fans were in a fierce battle, Jiang Mosheng’s fans in particular, who didn’t in the least believe their Prince Charming died. Any comment that claimed Jiang Mosheng died would be bombarded by his fans who was all savage fighters.

Sure enough, star-net wasn’t the only battlefield. Right now, the atmosphere of a high-level meeting at the military headquarter was very tense as well.

“I’ve heard that Ah Sheng hasn't been in a good shape recently. I’m really sorry that I haven't had time to visit him because of all the affairs at the headquarter,” said Yu Hongrui who put on a guilty mask.

It was no secret that Yu Family and Jiang Family had formed a matrimonial alliance. That Qiao Mulan wanted a sooner wedding because of Jiang Mosheng's condition wasn't known to the public, but known to many of a high level.

At first, everyone felt sorry for Yu Family since its son would spend a life without a husband after marriage.

However, later it turned out Yu Family didn’t give Jiang Family its legitimate son Yu Jinsheng but a bastard son Yu Jinli, so everyone’s sympathy went to Jiang Family.

After all, Jiang Family was in the first tier yet its only son married a bastard. If this news went around, Jiang Family would be a joke to everyone.

However, given Jiang Mosheng’s current condition, whoever married him would face a hopeless life. Jiang Family wasn't in a position to haggle so even though Yu Family had sent over a bastard son, Jiang Family could do nothing but to swallow this bitter pill.

That was exactly why the tension between Jiang Family and Yu Family mounted.

“He is fine. Please don't worry about him,” said Jiang Zhentao expressionlessly.

Now he had no favorable impression of Yu Family at all, especially after learning how Yu Jinli was treated there.

Since Yu Family didn't see Yu Jinli as a son, Jiang Family would. From now on, Yu Jinli would be a son of Jiang Family without any connection with Yu Family, which meant they weren't in-laws.

“Old Jiang, you don't have to put on a brave face. Everyone feels sorry for what happened to Ah Sheng. He is the most promising one of the young generation. We all thought he would take your position, but who knows... Alas... It is a loss for our Federation,” said Yu Hongrui pretentiously. He seemed sad but who knew how happy he really was.

“Marshal Jiang, we understand that you aren’t in a good mood because of what happened to Major General Jiang. But with a coming election, which is major to the military headquarter, a decision has to be made as soon as possible,” said General Wu Guli.

At the military headquarter, in addition to the top three marshals in command, there were five generals, each in charge of the five major legions under the marshals.

General Wu Guli, who was in charge of the Fifth Legion, directly answered to Yu Hongrui.

Once a marshal retired, candidate who could rise to the rank of marshal were chosen among the five generals.

Hearing what Wu Guli said, a flash of sarcasm crossed Jiang Zhentao’s eyes. He knew what was on Wu Guli’s mind.
