I Married a Commander and Became a Galaxy Star

Chapter 92: Chapter 91: How Could You Steal Daddy’s Happiness?

Zone C Exhibition Hall.

On display was the entire collection of the Kunlun series models.

Over three hundred of them, in different colors and designs.

For many children, coming here was like stepping into a paradise from their dreams.

But this wasn’t Xiao Juzi’s first time seeing them.

He pointed to the models one by one, telling his mother:

”Great-Uncle has a super big secret base! He has all of these! He has this one, and this one, and that one over there~”

Suddenly, he spotted a model he had never seen before.

The Mecha’s frame was a brilliant blue, identical to the Kunlun Mecha in the video playing in the Area A exhibition hall!

The little guy’s eyes lit up. ”He doesn’t have this one!”

The person in charge walked over and said with a smile, ”This young gentleman has excellent taste~ This particular Kunlun Model is the new product available for pre-sale at this press conference~”

Shu Yao asked about the price and immediately gasped.

180,000!

Didn’t that mean the entire collection of models displayed in this hall was worth over fifty million!?

And you’d need to clear out a huge amount of space just to display these things. Not to mention all the other costs involved in the collection process...

’Poverty really does limit one’s imagination!’ Shu Yao thought.

The key thing was, from what her precious son was saying, her great-uncle had actually managed to collect almost the entire set!

’That’s seriously impressive!’

’I’ll have to find a chance to go check out Great-Uncle’s secret base!’

After looking around, Shu Yao sighed. ”If a regular edition is this expensive, wouldn’t a limited edition cost a fortune!?”

Qin Shiwei explained:

”The limited edition models are a bonus for Kunlun enthusiasts, usually given away at new product launches or holiday events. But on the open market, they have a price but are impossible to find. I remember the first limited edition model’s price was once driven up to over ninety million Star Coins. If you like them, I’ll give you a set.”

Shu Yao’s mouth twitched. ”No, no, that’s okay!”

The price of this single model alone was enough to scare her off.

Qin Shiwei’s gaze darkened, his thoughts unreadable.

”I remember... you used to enjoy carving things?”

”Huh?” Shu Yao was bewildered.

”It’s nothing. I might be misremembering.” Qin Shiwei’s lips curved into a somewhat bitter smile.

Three years ago when they first met, he had been gravely injured, his facial features damaged, especially his visual system. Though he couldn’t see back then, he could often faintly hear the woman beside him carving something, and he’d hear her constantly complaining that her carving knives weren’t sturdy or sharp enough...

The press conference was about to begin.

Qin Shiwei raised his hand and summoned a floating seat pod.

The seat pod had an automatic ticket-checking function.

One ticket for Qin Shiwei, one for Shu Yao.

The seats for the two tickets were in different locations.

One was in the very front row, the other was near the back.

”It’s fine, come on up.” Qin Shiwei, already inside the pod, reached his hand out to Shu Yao.

Shu Yao unceremoniously stuffed Zaizai into his arms, then climbed in and presented her own ticket as prompted by the pod’s smart voice assistant.

The seat pod’s AI also registered her ticket in its system, then displayed a selection box with two virtual routes.

The selection box contained the seat information for both tickets. Different choices corresponded to different routes.

Shu Yao decisively chose Qin Shiwei’s seat location.

The pod door closed.

The seat pod carried the three of them smoothly into the conference hall, stopping at its designated spot.

Every seat in the conference audience was one of these spherical pods.

Xiao Juzi insisted on sitting in the middle, using his own body to separate Shu Yao from the ”hateful guy.”

Shu Yao didn’t understand.

”You don’t like Daddy, but you still want to sit next to him?”

Xiao Juzi wrinkled his nose fiercely at the hateful guy beside them.

”Hmph! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to!”

’The hateful guy just wants to steal Mommy away from me!’

’I’m not going to let this hateful guy get his way!’

Qin Shiwei clenched his fist, resisting the urge to throw the little thing out.

’He’s not cute at all!’

Shu Yao sighed helplessly.

’She was increasingly convinced this father and son must have been enemies in a past life!’

The pod door opened, and a service robot appeared at the entrance, holding a square box in its two mechanical hands.

”Honored sir, madam, and young one, it is my pleasure to serve you. Please draw your numbers. May Lady Luck be with you.”

Fifty limited edition Kunlun Models, fifty lucky numbers.

Five thousand numbers in total.

A one percent chance of winning.

Still, it was something to look forward to.

Shu Yao delegated the task of drawing a number to Xiao Juzi. ”Sweetheart, do you want to draw a number for Great-Uncle?”

His face beaming with excitement, Xiao Juzi stood up and reached his small hand into the square box, plunging almost his entire arm in before pulling out a card.

The back of the card had the dynamic Kunlun Mecha logo, and the front showed a glowing number.

186.

Shu Yao nudged Qin Shiwei with her elbow. ”Darling, you can draw one too.”

Hearing that there was another one to draw, Xiao Juzi, of course, wouldn’t pass up the chance. He reached his hand back into the box and painstakingly fished out another card.

992.

The service robot moved on to another pod.

Shu Yao playfully chided Xiao Juzi, ”Why did you steal Daddy’s fun?”

”BLEH!” Xiao Juzi taunted the man beside him, clutching his cards.

A seat pod passing by stopped, and inside were the man with the thick chain and his chubby son.

The chubby boy saw that Xiao Juzi had two cards in his hands and complained indignantly, ”Daddy, why does he get to draw two!?”

Xiao Juzi laughed at him. ”Silly, there are two adults over here, so we have two tickets. Of course I get to draw two number cards!”

The chubby boy was still not convinced.

The man with the thick chain sized them up with an unfriendly gaze and muttered, ”Damn lucky! They actually managed to snag front-row tickets!”

When the plain-looking man in the opposite pod shot him a cold glance, he immediately lowered his head resentfully.

The father and son were carried to the back by their seat pod.

Speaking of tickets, Shu Yao asked in a low voice, ”Darling, where did you get your ticket?”

Qin Shiwei smiled faintly. ”If I want them, I can get them.”

Shu Yao rubbed her nose. ’I was thinking too small,’ she thought.

Her darling was the Supreme Commander of the Interstellar Federation, after all!

’Abusing his power for personal gain... he’s an expert at it.’

Qin Shiwei pulled up some review materials from his Light Brain, instantly switching into tutor mode.

”We can’t waste time. Memorize these few pages of history notes.”

”Ahhh—” Shu Yao wailed. ”Can’t you give me a break!”

Xiao Juzi leaned in curiously, looked over the material with a serious expression, and then suddenly lit up as if he had discovered a new world.

”Mommy! This one, this one, and this one—Godmother taught me all of these!”

Qin Shiwei was taken aback. He couldn’t help but look at the little guy and ask, ”You can read?”

’If I remember correctly, this little thing isn’t even three years old yet!’

Xiao Juzi gave him a look that said, *Are you stupid?* ”Of course I can read! Mommy and Godmother both taught me!”

Qin Shiwei looked at Shu Yao, voicing his confusion. ”Godmother?”

Shu Yao explained, ”A friend of mine. Before she was abandoned, I think she was the top scorer in the Federation’s unified examination one year.”

”The top scorer of the unified examination? Abandoned?”

’If she really were the top scorer of the unified examination, the Federation would have treasured her. How could she possibly have been abandoned!’

”I don’t know the specific details of her story. She just really likes to brag and show off when she’s drunk.” Shu Yao smiled, then added gratefully, ”But thanks to her, these review notes aren’t too difficult for me.”
