The Jian family's son-in-law
At the western border of the Alliance, Starlink Corporation's First Fleet was neatly lined up, waiting in the darkness of space.
The flagship, the Horizon.
Jensen had a smile on his face. Among Avrils many followers, Jensen was probably the only one who came from a commoner background like Xia Fei. He had relied on his hard work and talent in command to graduate from the Alliance's First Command Academy at the age of sixteen and was hired by Starlink Corporation as the assistant fleet commander of the First Fleet. In just a few years, Jensen had risen from assistant to fleet commander, then from fleet commander to fleet commander. His progress was astounding.
Of course, after this war, Starlink Corporation's original ten fleets were reduced to one, and Jensen's position as fleet commander was just a title. The total number of ships under his control had not changed.
"Son-in-law has reached our position one jump away from us and is currently recharging the ship's energy. He'll reach our position in fifteen minutes," Jensen's assistant, Ronald, reported.
Though most people had not seen Xia Fei with their own eyes, the love story between Xia Fei and Avrils during the war had already been deeply ingrained in their hearts. Everyone affectionately called Xia Fei "son-in-law." In any case, they felt that the young lady and Xia Fei would get married sooner or later, and Starlink Corporation would eventually be under Xia Fei's name.
Most people were looking forward to this matter, hoping that Xia Fei and Avrils would grow old together like the prince and princess in the fairy tale. No one had any objections to Starlink Corporation being under the management of the famous Xia Fei. After all, Xia Fei's strength and character were there for all to see.
Speaking of which, when news of Avrils relationship with Xia Fei first got out a few years ago, many people thought that Xia Fei was a toad lusting after a swan's flesh, wishing that they could stomp the toad to death. They also felt sorry for the young lady's blind choice.
Today, no one treated Xia Fei like a toad anymore. Many even felt that it was an honor for the Jian family to claim kinship with Xia Fei. After all, Xia Fei was already a top-notch expert in the Alliance. Xia Fei's Quantum Holdings was already a top-notch company in the Alliance, comparable to Starlink Corporation. Moreover, the momentum of its development could be described as lightning, and it was only a matter of time before it surpassed Starlink Corporation.
Jensen did not like people calling Xia Fei "son-in-law," but he was powerless to stop this from happening.
"Connect Xia Fei's video call," Jensen said as he straightened his clothes.
The projected screen showed Xia Fei drinking a cup of tea. Xia Fei greeted Jensen with a smile when he saw him, appearing very casual.
"Mr. Xia Fei, I've been ordered by the chairman to welcome you here and escort you to the Western Capital. The young mistress, the chairman, the general manager, and all your subordinates from Starlink Corporation are all waiting for your arrival." Jensen said in a low voice. Because he was somewhat unconvinced by this youth of similar age and ordinary appearance, Jensen's tone was somewhat cold.
"You'll escort me?" Xia Fei found it funny, but he still nodded politely. No problem. The ship is currently recharging its power; Ill be there soon.
Jensen sternly replied, "I know that your cultivation is very high and that you are unstoppable, but in the vast sea of stars, warships are the true main force. Now that the war has just ended, there are still many pirates roaming the border regions, and the situation is not yet stable. With me leading the Starlink Corporation's First Fleet to escort you, we will be able to guarantee your safety."
"I also agree that warships are the main force in the sea of stars. I'll have to trouble you then," Xia Fei said with a smile.
Turning off the projected screen, Jensen straightened his back even more. Though he could not compare to Xia Fei in terms of martial prowess and wealth, being able to find some confidence in his fleet made Jensen feel that he had regained some face.
* Whoosh ~ *
A temporary wormhole opened near the Starlink Corporation's First Fleet. The huge wormhole would appear empty even if the entire First Fleet were to be stuffed inside. Jensen could not help but gape at the dazzling halo outside the window.
"Such a huge wormhole?! What model is Xia Fei's ship? "Jensen anxiously asked.
Without waiting for the radar operator to answer, Jensen saw Nirvana slowly emerging from the wormhole. As a fleet commander, he naturally knew what model this boomerang-shaped warship was.
"Gaian, a Thanatos-class carrier!"
"Heavens! Son-in-law's ship is actually a capital ship! That's way too impressive! "
"That's right. I heard that aside from the military, only the Adjudicator Union and the Monastic Order each have a capital ship, but the two major warrior organizations both have dreadnoughts. Son-in-law is the first civilian to own a carrier!"
"Owning a capital ship requires a license. I wonder if the son-in-law has a capital ship license?"
"Of course! Who's our son-in-law? He's a great hero who barged into the insectoid territory alone and killed countless insectoids. One of them is Tai, who led the military's counterattack, and the other is our son-in-law. Even if he doesn't have a license, who would dare stop our son-in-law? "
Cheers rang out in the command center. Perhaps it was because they loved the house and its crow, but everyone felt that Xia Fei's ownership of a capital ship was a great honor to them.
"The largest ship in our fleet is this Horizon. It's an Amarrian's class 3 battleship, the Hell's Angel. Unfortunately, the Hell's Angel is like an ant in front of the Thanatos-Class."
"Sigh, we were so excited to escort the son-in-law, but it turns out that his warship is a carrier. How can we explain this?"
"Looks like the son-in-law is escorting us instead."
The discussion in the command center made Jensen's face pale. He wished he could find a hole to hide in, for he was the one who had just lectured Xia Fei on the importance of warships in space.
* Pa! *
The screen suddenly turned on, and Xia Fei smiled. "I'll have to trouble everyone to escort us along the way."
Every word felt like a slap to Jensen's face. His body swayed for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
…
Sido was originally the capital planet of the Dietris Star Region on the western border of the Alliance. Now that the Venal Constellation had been destroyed, the political, military, and economic forces of the Alliance had retreated westward. In the end, Sido became the temporary capital of the Alliance. Once the Venal Galaxy was restored, the capital would be moved back.
Avril's new home was located in the outskirts of Sido. It was an old-fashioned bungalow with a garden that took up quite a lot of space. Compared to the Half Moon Villa, this place could be described as simple and crude, but Avril and the Jian family had nothing to complain about. Compared to the days they had spent on a warship, life in Sido could be called heaven.
The Jian family was especially lively today. Countless socialites were crowding around the place. If there were no tables or chairs, they would stand in the garden with a glass of wine in their hands. Xia Fei would be back in a few hours, and everyone wanted to meet this legendary hero.
Charlie, Porter, Boateng, Sarah, Andre, Wu Long, and the other department heads of Quantum Holdings were treated as the most important guests of the Jian family. They were arranged to be seated in the VIP lounge, accompanied by Avril's grandfather, Sean. Qin Mang, Thuram, Moon Song, and Chen Dong were also present. In short, anyone who had a good relationship with Xia Fei was treated as a guest of the Jian family and received the highest level of hospitality.
Life was truly a great irony. The first time Xia Fei had come to the Jian family, he had merely wanted to know if Avril was still alive and see the lady he missed. He had been heavily obstructed, and everyone had rolled their eyes at him. Pang Xing and Pang Hai had even gotten into a fight with him.
Now, perhaps even Xia Fei's dog would be treated more respectfully than any other hound, even if it was just a mongrel that was not worth half a star coin.
The garden was bustling, and Avril's room was even more lively.
Young mistress, will you be wearing this dress today? asked a maid as she brought over a gorgeous pink dress.
Five or six maids were busy helping Avril dress up, all of them wearing a smile on their faces. The legendary son-in-law was about to return, and even these servants were sincerely happy for their young mistress.
This dress is too gorgeous. Our son-in-law has always been low-key, so I think it's better for the young mistress to dress a little more plainly.
That's in the past. The son-in-law is now a big shot. Plenty of ladies from rich families have their eyes on him, so it's not appropriate for the young mistress not to dress up prettily.
The maids were all talking at once, all of them addressing Xia Fei as son-in-law, causing Avril to blush in embarrassment.
Row after row of dresses were laid out, and piece after piece of jewelry was laid out. Everyone was talking at once to help Avril choose a suitable outfit, making it difficult for Avril to make a decision, unsure of what to wear.
In the midst of the chaos, a maid in her thirties quietly tugged on Avril's sleeve and whispered into her ear, Young mistress, I've found what you wanted.
Avril's heart was thumping wildly, and her cheeks were as red as ripe apples.
She hurriedly pulled the maid's hand and went to the next room, locking the door behind them.
She took out a small bottle of blue liquid from her sleeve and mysteriously stuffed it into Avril's palm.
Young mistress, this won't be a problem. My husband has been lukewarm to me for some time, so I added a little of this to his dinner. In the end, he became like a ferocious tiger, leaving me exhausted every night, said the maid excitedly.
Avril was extremely nervous. She stuffed the small bottle into her bra and cautiously asked, There won't be any side effects, right?
It's all natural. The only side effect is that the son-in-law can't leave you. The maid giggled.
Avril hurriedly covered her ears, so embarrassed that she did not dare to raise her head. Stop it. It's so embarrassing.
The maid laughed. What's there to be embarrassed about? It's only natural that you and the son-in-law are together. This thing is just to make the two of you more ecstatic at night.
Avril bit her lip and grumbled, Xia Fei keeps saying that I'm still young, but I'm actually not that young anymore.
The maid hurriedly comforted Avril. That's because the son-in-law cares about you. A girl's first time will be a little painful, but the pleasure that follows is like the waves of the sea, endless …
Avril stomped her feet, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. Stop it. Stop it.
However, the maid did not stop, nagging Avril about the matters between a man and a woman.
Avril was both shy and curious. She covered her ears as she listened attentively to the maid's explanation. Avril's breathing became heavy when she talked about the embarrassing parts, and she almost could not stand straight.
A few moments later, Avril was like a little oriole that was afraid of being scolded for doing something wrong. She quietly slipped out of the room, looked around, and hurriedly ran back to her room.
