Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

After Zhao Chen stepped off the stage, many people naturally turned their attention to him.

The leopard woman guarding him stood silently beside Zhao Chen, even though the people who came here were generally of decent status.

They also scanned their bodies for any threatening weapons before entering to ensure their safety.

But as a member of the Emperor's personal guard, the Leopard Woman continued to fulfill her duties as always.

Zhao Chen first walked past each of the private booths in the inner circle.

They usually just chatted for a few minutes and then moved on to the next spot.

As for what to say, Lilith will give some guidance and advice through the headphones.

This made it easy for Zhao Chen to communicate with them, especially since he knew almost everyone in the core area.

At this moment, before Zhao Chen could even reach a treasure chest card slot...

A figure suddenly darted out.

"Can I leave early and take over my flagship?" Xue Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Chen eagerly.

Even their breathing sounded a bit heavier.

It's as if they can't wait to go to the bridal chamber with their bride.

Looking at Xue Xiaoxiao's excited eyes as she looked at him.

I estimate that all it takes is for him to say the word "agree".

This girl will leave this place at lightning speed and throw herself into the arms of her new lover.

"It's not a big deal if it takes a little more time."

Just stay here obediently.

Let's talk about it after the banquet.

"Besides, your current identity is the supreme commander of the Fourth Fleet Group of the Dragon Empire, and so many people are watching you," Zhao Chen said.

Xue Xiaoxiao pouted, returned to her seat with a hint of resentment, and then looked up at the silhouette of the interstellar battleship outside the dome.

It's like a simp, gazing at his goddess with infatuation.

He would occasionally swallow his saliva.

"Grandson-in-law!"

Just then, a loud voice suddenly rang out.

Then a large hand patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder.

Grandson-in-law?

Zhao Chen looked at the smiling old man Chu Changhe beside him with surprise.

"Old Master Chu... what's wrong?"

"Why call him 'old man'?"

"Call me Grandpa." Old Master Chu Changhe patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder.

Zhao Chen didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this moment, Chu Xuan rushed over.

Her face was flushed, as if it were about to bleed.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" Chu Xuan grabbed Chu Changhe's arm, trying to pull him away.

But Old Master Chu Changhe was a soldier, so his lower body was very stable.

No matter how hard Chu Xuan tried, Old Master Chu Changhe remained completely unmoved.

What am I doing here?

I'm not bringing up our previous engagement with your fiancé, am I?

It wouldn't be right to go back on one's word.

Although things are different now than before, people are more open-minded.

But our Chu family is still very traditional.

"Our daughter's reputation is still very important!" Old Master Chu Changhe's words were loaded with meaning.

He looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to what my grandfather said."

He's drunk right now.

"He's acting drunk here." Chu Xuan blushed as she looked at Zhao Chen. If it weren't for her grandfather being there...

She really wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear right now.

I'm so ashamed to face anyone.

Zhao Chen now understood what Old Master Chu Changhe was implying.

Back when his own Xiaolong fleet was just rising to prominence, he had received support from the Chu family for a period of time.

At that time, in order to solidify Zhao Chen's identity, he was specially arranged to be the future grandson-in-law of the Chu family and the fiancé of Chu Xuan.

However, as time went by, very few people mentioned this matter anymore.

Zhao Chen gradually forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Chu Changhe brought it up at this time.

"Grandpa, I know about this."

But now... I understand my situation.

I not only have a wife, but also children.

"If I let Chu Xuan marry me again, wouldn't that be putting Chu Xuan in a bad position?" Zhao Chen said helplessly, looking at the endless stream of words from Old Master Chu Changhe.

Grandpa Chu Changhe patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder and said, "I know everything about your situation."

In the past, I would never have allowed my granddaughter to marry you.

But you are different now.

You are the emperor of the Dragon Empire, a powerful man. It's perfectly normal for you to have several women by your side.

Moreover, this is still an imperial system.

From now on, the royal family of the Xiaolong Empire will be surnamed Zhao.

For the future prosperity of the Dragon Royal Family, this is naturally an option.

Look at those kings and emperors, there are dozens, not just a few.

There are even some with hundreds of them.

But you should know your limits, kid.

A dozen or so won't do!

Otherwise, my granddaughter will suffer.

"We can't even get an appointment seven days a week, how can that be acceptable?"

"Grandpa, please stop talking!" Chu Xuan felt as if she were sitting on a hot stove, and she didn't dare to look the Emperor in the eye.

She would rather fight to the death against the endless, dark legion fleet than stay here for even a second longer.

Zhao Chen observed this viewpoint of Old Master Chu Changhe.

He really had no excuse left.

At that moment, Lilith's voice did not come through the headset.

I bet this girl is just watching the show.

Fortunately, the dazzling 'fireworks' in the starry sky bathed the interstellar warships, and this magnificent spectacle attracted everyone's attention.

Those 'fireworks' are made of a special material and are harmless.

Like raindrops, they fell around the newly commissioned interstellar warships.

This is the ancient 'water gate ceremony'.

It is often used at very important moments.

As Old Master Chu Changhe watched this ancient ceremony, he recalled that the T4 Borei-class heavy interstellar battleship, which the Chu family had spearheaded the development of, was also developed after this 'water gate ceremony'.

It has officially come into everyone's view.

It also became the most glorious interstellar warship of the Star Empire at that time.

However, the T4 Borei-class heavy starship has long since been lost to history.

Almost no one remembers these once-glorious interstellar warships anymore.

What everyone was talking about and seeing was basically the JF-17 series of interstellar warships.

Old Master Chu Changhe sighed inwardly and withdrew his gaze.

Just as she was about to discuss Chu Xuan's marriage with Zhao Chen again, she discovered that the boy had already disappeared somewhere.

"That guy, he got away again!" Old Master Chu Changhe said with some dissatisfaction.

"Grandpa, if you do this again..."

"I'll never see you again!" Chu Xuan stomped her feet in anger, feeling extremely ashamed and indignant.

It's estimated that even Chu Xuan's officers would be astonished to see Marshal Chu Xuan like this.

The female marshal, who was so valiant on the battlefield, was now acting as shy as a little girl.

"I'm doing this all for your own good."

"How can you be so insensible?" Old Master Chu Changhe looked at his granddaughter's expression and said, "If I were you..."

They'll just get on the train first and buy the ticket later, making it a fait accompli.

That guy is impossible to shake off.

If he still doesn't acknowledge it, after the child is born, we'll make a scene, cry, and threaten suicide...

Oh, why did you leave so soon?

Chu Xuan covered her ears and ran away.

I really can't stay in this place for even a second longer.

On the other side.

Because of this incident with Grandpa Chu Changhe, Zhao Chen quickly ended his meeting and interaction with the other guests and hid in a small private room.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Inside the private room.

Charlotte, Lilith, and the two little ones are all waiting.

"Why didn't you say anything just now?" Zhao Chen glared at Lilith, who was trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Lilith chuckled and said, "Those are His Majesty's peach blossoms, so I can't say anything about it."

"What is a peach blossom?"

"Those were things we had no other choice to do at the time," Zhao Chen explained.

Charlotte, who was playing with the two children, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Back when the Xiaolong Fleet had just been established and was rising in strength..."

If it weren't for the Chu family's intervention and Chu Xuan's status,

We couldn't have gotten to where we are now so easily.

Regardless of whether it was a stopgap measure at the time.

Chu Xuan is indeed using her reputation to protect you.

Moreover, you couldn't possibly be unaware of Chu Xuan's feelings for you.

Zhao Chen was speechless.

Zhao Chen was naturally aware of Chu Xuan's feelings for him.

Perhaps, it all started the moment she leaped aboard her own starship from the North Starship Military Academy.

An unbreakable bond formed between them.

However, because Charlotte and Lilith were there, Zhao Chen and Chu Xuan maintained their relationship from then on.

However, Zhao Chen did not overlook Chu Xuan's abilities because of this.

Instead, they promoted Chu Xuan, making her the marshal of the Fourth Fleet Group of the Xiaolong Empire.

"You have cultivated trust in Chu Xuan up to this point."

Can you honestly say there was no selfish motive involved?

You feel that you cannot accept her in your heart, so you want to make up for it in this way?

But for some people, this kind of compensation is completely different from what they want. Charlotte said quietly.

"This...does this sound like something you would say?" Zhao Chen looked at the big white cat with some surprise.

This is something a big white cat wouldn't say.

“Perhaps it’s because of our different statuses,” Charlotte said, looking at the two children and then at Zhao Chen. “Because I am the Supreme Marshal.”

I have far more time and opportunities to interact with Chu Xuan than you do.

I watched as she used her busy work schedule to leave herself no spare time.

I knew it; she was using this method to escape.

She is different from us.

Lilith and I are both long-lived interstellar races; we can both live for hundreds of years, and if technology advances, living for more than five hundred years is not a problem.

But what about Chu Xuan?

Even with technologies that extend lifespan, humans can only live to a maximum of three hundred years old. Those who live beyond that age are no longer truly human.

Chu Xuan has been with you for almost seven years.

How many seven-year periods of youthful beauty does a human girl have?

Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen with a pained expression.

Zhao Chen hesitated and said, "But...but I already have both of you!"

Lilith then said from the side, "There's one thing I actually agree with about what Grandpa Chu is saying."

You are now the Emperor of the Dragon Empire.

You are the foundation of the imperial family.

But now, the royal family's foundation is too shallow!

Count how many royal families there are now.

You count as one, and your older sister and younger sister count as one.

Charlotte and I are one of them.

Now, in addition to the two young children, there are also the children.

What royal family only has so many people?

This is why the empire was in constant turmoil whenever you disappeared; it's because the connection was too shallow.

"No matter what Charlotte and I do, we can't possibly expand the empire on our own."

"I have Little Tiger and Bai'er, that's enough for me," Charlotte declared at that moment.

I don't want to have too many children.

Because she still wanted to pursue her ideal, which naturally meant fighting on the battlefield in the army.

Charlotte already has two children, and if she had any more, she really didn't know what to do.

"I can't have too many children."

This childbirth has already caused a lot of delays.

If there are only three children, then the royal family's foundation is too weak.

"So, we don't actually mind Chu Xuan's existence," Lilith said calmly.

Zhao Chen looked at Lilith in surprise, then at Charlotte beside him, whose expression remained calm.

For a moment, Zhao Chen was unable to process what the two women had said.

"I need to calm down."

"I need to think this through carefully," Zhao Chen said, picking up his daughter, Zhao Bai'er.

"Little Bai'er, Daddy baby."

"Daddy, give me a kiss." Zhao Chen hugged the sweet-smelling Zhao Bai'er and kissed her on her little face.

Charlotte and Lilith didn't say anything more.

After all, Zhao Chen needed to convince himself of this.

Now that both of them have expressed their opinions, the rest is entirely up to Zhao Chen.

The next few days.

Although the banquet lasts only one day, it is a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, so naturally they will discuss some matters, and if all goes well, they may even start some collaborations.

Zhao Chen did not immediately return to the Imperial Military Research Institute.

I only provide remote guidance and check on the work progress from time to time.

During this time, Zhao Chen spent quality time with Charlotte, their two children, and Lilith, who was due to give birth.

This is also why Zhao Chen was willing to temporarily put aside his work and attend this banquet.

Because Lilith's due date is in the next few days.

At least when Charlotte gave birth, Zhao Chen was not by her side, which made him feel very guilty.

Lilith is having a baby now.

Zhao Chen naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen again, so he would stay obediently by the two women's side for the next few days.

Furthermore, under Zhao Chen's supervision, Lilith only had one hour each day to listen to her subordinates' work reports.

This is even with an interval of several hours.

If Lilith worked for a little too long, Zhao Chen would push her back to bed.

As for those tasks, they were either handed over to the secretariat, or Zhao Chen took care of them personally if the secretariat was really unable to handle them.

Only if they can't handle it will they ask Lilith.

Lilith watched Zhao Chen running around anxiously, even more so than herself.

A happy smile appeared on her lips.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen.

"ah......"

Charlotte, having been through it all, immediately exclaimed, "She's going into labor!"
