“Yes!”
At this moment, Gustav’s starphone beeped again.
This time, the message really was from Erwina.
Erwina: Commander Mullen, I heard from Victor you wanted me to move to your place?!
The cold Commander Mullen stood up and said to everyone, “Just do what I said earlier, meeting’s over!”
Everyone nodded right away, quickly grabbed their stuff, and turned to head out.
Eric walked a bit faster to catch up with Daniel. He flipped his blond hair and said, “Daniel, do you think it was Mrs. Mullen who called the commander?”
Daniel kept a straight face: “No idea, if you want to know, you can go ask the commander.”
Eric’s face fell right away.
He had to have the guts for that.
At this moment, the Commander Mullen they were wary of was sitting in a private lounge, took off his military cap, and put it on the table.
He connected to the projection on Victor’s aircraft and immediately saw his pretty, delicate little wife sitting on the aircraft seat.

Erwina was just wondering if Dad was going to bring up the issue of the branch’s management rights again.
Suddenly, a handsome face showed up on the video and it scared her!
“Hey, Commander Mullen, weren’t you in a meeting?”
“It’s over.” Gustav watched her sit up straight without thinking, feeling like this girl was still pretty scared of him. He frowned a little.
This guy was projected over by video, but he didn’t say anything. He had a cool, handsome face. Erwina felt like even the air inside the whole aircraft got thinner.
So weird, that face was obviously Gus.
But Erwina was kind of inexplicably scared of him.
Let me think about it. Erwina spoke up: “Commander Mullen, I heard from Victor you wanted me to move over?”
“We got married.”
..But I still had to go to school.”
“You could take a flying vehicle to school. If needed, you could stay in the dorm sometimes.”
Erwina was a bit stunned and always felt like something was off!
She looked at the man in uniform in the projection, his face cold and indifferent, and said through gritted teeth, “Commander Mullen, the reason you didn’t agree to the divorce and now want me to move in–is it. because of your rut?”
Although Erwina was a bit afraid of Gustav, she still planned to make

things clear.

If, at first, their marriage mix–up was all because she got attracted to his looks, then what happened between them after that needed to be figured
out.
She didn’t want to be someone’s exclusive suppressant without knowing what’s going on!
The image on the projector looked like it was frozen. Erwina even wondered if the signal was bad.
The next moment, there were a few crackling sounds, and then the communication just got cut off like that?!
Erwina: ?
“Victor Victor, what happened?”
At that moment, Victor was really upset. He hadn’t expected that his own master would do something like this!
Just pretended to be offline?!
As the most reliable AI for data in the whole United Empire of Planets, could it take the blame for this?
Could…
Victor: “Sorry Mrs. Mullen, there was some strong signal interference just now, so it got cut off. Mrs. Mullen, if you need to talk to the commander, should I connect the signal again?”
Erwina nodded, “Got it.”
But a minute later, Victor said regretfully, “commander was just on a

break, he went to a meeting again, when he’s done, I’ll have him take over, okay?”
Erwina felt a bit weird, but Gustav must have been super busy, so she didn’t want to dwell on it.
At this point, the aircraft had already stopped at the door of the Schrader Restaurant. Victor looked at her eagerly and said, “Mrs. Mullen, when should I come pick you up?”
“Waited for Commander Mullen’s call, would talk after connecting.”
“Victor used his highly intelligent mind to analyze it and came to a conclusion.
That was, Mrs. Mullen most likely saw through her owner’s lie!
Actually, Erwina could pretty much guess that Gustav didn’t really want to answer her question.
But she didn’t regret saying it, either.
And after Erwina said out loud what she’d been wondering, she actually felt a lot better.
She walked in with an easy step into the soon–to–open the Schrader Restaurant.
The Schrader Restaurant mainly served rare dishes from ancient Earth, so for the decor, they also referred to the architectural styles of ancient Earth found in the documents.
Red walls and green tiles, the tables and chairs were all made of wood, there were old paintings hanging on the walls, and all kinds of porcelain vases were placed on the cabinets.

The branches in each district all had the same decoration style.
