Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

Queen Nancy listened to this series of stories.

I roughly figured out what was going on.

It must have been Nannan's own idea to come here to find her relatives and mother.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Zhao Chen.

As for how Nannan could be Zhao Chen's child.

The secret behind this is probably only known to Chu Xuan herself.

"Mom, are you angry?" Nannan asked cautiously, looking at Chu Xuan who was walking somewhat anxiously.

Why do you ask that?

"Because my mother has never walked this fast before."

Is it because Nannan suddenly came to see her mother that her mother is angry with Nannan?

If that's the case.

"Then, little girl, go back home. Mom, please don't be angry, okay?" The little girl tugged at Chu Xuan's sleeve and said timidly.

In front of outsiders, Nannan acts like a big child.

But in front of Chu Xuan, she was just a little cotton candy.

"Mom wasn't angry."

"Does Nannan miss her mother?" Chu Xuan pinched Nannan's cheek.

She placed Nannan on a hovercar and sat next to her.

The hovercar closed its doors and began to fly automatically toward Chu Xuan's residence in Dragon Palace Star Harbor.

As high-ranking members of the Dragon Kingdom, they are figures like them.

Everyone in Dragon Palace Star Harbor has their own residence.

It can be used as a resting place for them when they come here.

"Yes, Nannan misses her mother very much."

Although Mom will video chat with her daughter.

But the little girl wanted to hug her mother and smell her mother's sweet scent.

The little girl wants to see her mother.

As she spoke, Nannan took out a drawing from her backpack.

This is a color painting. In the painting, there are Nannan and Chuxuan standing on the beach.

There was a barbecue grill next to it, with hot grilled meat on it, and a figure with their back to the camera.

"Mom's birthday is in a few days."

Nannan wants to give her mother a birthday present.

Mom, don't be unhappy.

Here's your birthday present.

Nannan will go back now.

"Nannan will be a good girl and wait for her mother at home." Nannan handed the colorful drawing to Chu Xuan.

Staring at the painting, Chu Xuan felt as if her heart had been blasted through by the super cannon of the T10 starship.

She hugged her daughter tightly.

“Nannan did nothing wrong, and Mommy is not angry with Nannan.”

It's Mom's fault, Mom wasn't by Nannan's side.

Nannan doesn't need to leave either.

Isn't Nannan going to celebrate her mother's birthday?

How about we stay here?

"I want to stay with Mom for a few more days." Chu Xuan forced back the tears welling up in her eyes.

She knew very well that she owed her daughter far too much.

Nannan has lived without a father since she was a child, and even in the past few years, the total time she has spent with Nannan may be less than a month.

She is not a good mother.

The little girl is very sensible and doesn't make a fuss.

I text her every day, and even if I don't reply, she never complains.

It just keeps sending messages every day, rain or shine.

I'll tell her what I ate today and what happy things happened at school.

That sentence never appeared from beginning to end.

She...misses her mother.

This sentence was not written down.

But every single word that Nannan posts every day is expressing the same meaning.

She was sensible enough to know that her mother would be upset when she saw those words.

When Mom is upset, the little girl is unhappy.

So Nannan doesn't send it.

Really?

"Can Nannan stay a few more days?" Nannan was very happy to hear this and looked at Chu Xuan happily.

Chu Xuan nodded and patted Nannan's head.

Nannan leaned against Chu Xuan's chest and began to recount the events that had occurred during her journey.

As she spoke, her eyelids began to droop, and her voice gradually became softer, until only her breathing could be heard.

Nannan hasn't had a proper rest since she left last night, and her energy has reached its limit.

Nestled in her mother's arms, she was instantly overcome with sleepiness.

Chu Xuan didn't say anything, she just held her child.

At that moment, she felt that nothing else mattered; nothing in the world was more important than the little baby in front of her.

The hovercar quickly came to a stop outside a detached villa.

This is Chu Xuan's residence.

She carefully picked up Nannan, walked into the villa, placed her on the large bed that Chu Xuan herself had barely slept on, and took off her shoes and coat.

Then I covered her with a blanket.

Looking at her sleeping daughter, Chu Xuan felt so happy just watching her.

I don't know how much time has passed.

She slowly got up and left the room.

She noticed a hovercar parked outside the villa, with a person leaning against it. She didn't know how long they had been there or how long they had been standing there.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath.

She knew she had to face what she had to face.

The situation was already unavoidable; she couldn't escape it.

Chu Xuan adjusted her mindset and walked outside.

Go outside and open the door.

Zhao Chen just stood there.

"How long have you been here?" Chu Xuan asked softly.

"About ten minutes later than you," Zhao Chen said.

He followed Chu Xuan when she left the guesthouse.

Within the Dragon Palace Starport, finding out where someone had gone was not difficult for him.

"Why don't you come in?" Chu Xuan asked.

"I'm worried about disturbing you." As Zhao Chen spoke, he looked at the room upstairs in the villa where a dim light from a sleep lamp still shone.

The two stood there, speechless for a long time.

This was an atmosphere neither of them had ever experienced before.

From their beginnings, to the girl leaping onto his starship to rescue people from the Zerg swarm, and later joining his fleet.

I followed him step by step to where he is now, from officer to commander, and then to marshal.

They established the Dragon Star Empire.

Even after that incident happened in the Chu family, the two of them never had this kind of atmosphere between them.

"Is Nannan my child?" Zhao Chen asked directly.

Chu Xuan didn't speak, but at this moment, silence often meant that she had already said a lot.

"It must have been that night."

"On Dragon Star, the night I visited the set." After learning that Nannan was Chu Xuan's child, and considering Nannan's age...

Zhao Chen could roughly deduce what happened that night.

When this matter was mentioned, Chu Xuan blushed.

"Speaking of which, someone must have mentioned this to you, right?"

Otherwise, given your personality, it would be very difficult for you to do something like this. Zhao Chen took the initiative to step forward and close the distance between himself and Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan felt her heart beating faster, as if it were about to jump out of her chest at any moment.

"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant with Nannan?" Zhao Chen asked.

Chu Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Because I haven't thought this through."

Actually, my actions that night were partly impulsive.

I did it this way.

I always feel sorry for Charlotte and Lilith.

At first, I thought I would keep it a secret, but it gradually became a subconscious behavior.

Perhaps I'm choosing to escape.

Speaking of which...

Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

escape?

She, a dignified marshal of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, actually had to run away from something.

Thinking about it now, it feels a little ridiculous.

"So, are you still going to keep this from me?" Zhao Chen stared at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan bit her lip lightly, and finally she raised her head and looked directly at Zhao Chen and said, "That's right, Nannan is your child."

But I did this, so you don't need to feel guilty.

You can pretend this never happened.

I can tell anyone who sees this tonight to act as if it never happened.

I......"

Before Chu Xuan could finish speaking, Zhao Chen stepped forward again and hugged her tightly.

This sudden action left Chu Xuan speechless, her entire body seemingly frozen in place.

She didn't expect Zhao Chen to suddenly hug her.

This made her feel like her entire system had crashed; she had no idea what to do.

"You've done all this to me today."

"Don't you want to take responsibility for me?" Zhao Chen's voice rang in Chu Xuan's ears, and Chu Xuan's cheeks turned red at a visible speed.

"But this is me..."

"No matter what happened."

Now we have a baby girl.

You can't shirk your responsibility to me.

Do you want your daughter to live her whole life without a father?

She has lived without a father for more than five years.

"If this continues, it's not fair to her," Zhao Chen said seriously.

“But what about Charlotte and Lilith...” Chu Xuan expressed her concerns and worries.

Her relationship with Charlotte and Lilith is now like that of best friends.

Before entering this trial of the gods, she had promised them that she would take good care of Zhao Chen.

But she actually did something like that.

This made her feel guilty.

I feel like I betrayed my best friend.

This is why she has been choosing to run away.

"I will take care of Charlotte and Lilith's situation."

"No matter what, we can't let Nannan's childhood be incomplete, can we?" Zhao Chen released Chu Xuan, looked directly at her, and said with utmost seriousness.

Chu Xuan's expression was somewhat complicated.

If this were simply something that involved her, she might have kept it a secret for the rest of her life.

But the problem is that Nannan is now involved.

Zhao Chen is right, this concerns Nannan's future.

Are we going to keep this a secret forever?

"Hmm...but...could we not announce it to the public yet?" Chu Xuan said softly.

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

Our relationship, and the existence of Nannan, can remain private.

I'll also arrange for someone to give a few instructions to the people I met tonight.

This matter will not spread.

But as my daughter's father, I must let her know this.

Although I've only known Nannan for a few hours.

But Nannan is really a very sensible and obedient child.

Such a sensible and obedient child should not have a regretful childhood.

For the first five years, her world had no father.

But I don't want her life to continue without a father in the future.

Regarding the matter raised by Zhao Chen.

Chu Xuan did not object.

Zhao Chen's presence in Nannan's life was something Chu Xuan had always hoped for and wanted to see.

"Then it's settled," Zhao Chen said.

"Mm." Chu Xuan nodded.

"Then why don't you invite me in?" Zhao Chen said with a slight smile as he looked at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan was taken aback, not understanding Zhao Chen's meaning for a moment.

Zhao Chen looked at Chu Xuan with a mocking expression, then leaned close to her ear and said, "Since you have already acknowledged that I am Nannan's father..."

"So, as the child's parents, are they going to live separately?"

Chu Xuan's cheeks flushed slightly.

...

The next morning.

Because I was tired the day before.

Nannan slept until noon before waking up.

Nannan opened her eyes and smelled the familiar scent from under the covers.

She rubbed herself as she sat up.

She thinks she saw her mother last night.

Mom wasn't angry.

I gave my mom my birthday present, and she promised that I could stay a little longer.

"Mom?" Nannan called out, walking out in her slippers.

The air outside was filled with a delicious aroma—the smell of food.

It was coming from the kitchen on the first floor.

Is that Mom?

But she knew her mother was a terrible cook; she had eaten her mother's food before, and the taste was truly indescribable.

Nannan felt as if she had seen an angel sister.

After that, Mom never cooked again.

The food was all prepared by the chef.

As Nannan walked down the stairs, she saw the busy figures inside the open kitchen.

It actually looks somewhat familiar.

"Nannan?"

"Are you awake?" a familiar voice called out.

Zhao Chen, wearing an apron, turned to look at Nannan.

"Uncle?" Nannan looked at the uncle she had met yesterday in surprise... that Emperor Xiaolong.

How did he end up here?

uncle?

Upon hearing this address, Zhao Chen's expression visibly paused, but he still smiled and said, "You were so tired yesterday, so I didn't wake you this morning."

You slept until noon, you must be starving.

Go wash up quickly.

I prepared a very sumptuous feast.

Uncle, my cooking skills are amazing!

As Zhao Chen spoke, he turned his head and continued preparing the sumptuous lunch.

As this was the first meal Zhao Chen had prepared for his daughter, he couldn't allow any problems to occur.

"Nannan is awake." Just then, Chu Xuan, who had just returned, saw Nannan and was about to call out to her.

Nannan had already entered the kitchen, and she tugged at Zhao Chen's sleeve.

"So, is Uncle Nannan's father?"

This question seemed to freeze Zhao Chen and Chu Xuan in place, as if by some kind of spell.

Zhao Chen's hand froze for a moment, then he took a deep breath.

He turned to look at Nannan and squatted down.

He looked intently at Nannan.

"My dear, I am your father."

"Daddy wasn't by your side for the past five years, it was Daddy's fault." Zhao Chen stroked Nannan's head.

This child, who had always been so strong, cried at this moment.

She buried her face in Zhao Chen's arms. Zhao Chen could feel Nannan's body twitching; she was crying, but she was trying to suppress herself.

Chu Xuan, who was standing in the kitchen, stopped in her tracks upon seeing this scene, looking at the father and daughter with a complicated expression.

"Daddy, I miss you."

"My little girl misses you so much."

"All the other children in the kindergarten have fathers, but Nannan doesn't."

Although Nannan didn't say it, she was really envious.

Nannan buried herself in Zhao Chen's arms and sobbed as she spoke.

"Dad misses you too."

It's Dad who's sorry.

But don't worry, Dad will always be by your side from now on.

"I will make it up to you for all the years I've wronged you," Zhao Chen said softly.

Nannan looked up, her eyes were a little red, and she shook her head and said, "No."

Nannan doesn't need her father to stay with her all the time.

Nannan knows that her father is a very, very great person.

He is the Emperor of the Dragon, the one who protects this planet.

The teachers said so.

It was Dad who brought peace to this planet and stopped the wars on this planet.

Dad still has a lot to do.

There must have been a reason why Dad wasn't around before.

The little girl doesn't blame her father.

Dad won't have to take care of Nannan all the time.

Whenever Dad has time, he can video chat with his daughter and reply to her messages.

If... if there's nothing important to do one day, come find Nannan.

No need to go anywhere.

My daughter is happy just by watching a movie or cartoon with me.

This child is so sensible.

"But won't Nannan feel lonely like this?" Zhao Chen looked at Nannan with some heartache.

Nannan nodded, then shook her head and said, "Nannan is a little lonely. Actually, Nannan hopes that her parents can always stay by her side."

But Nannan knows too.

If that's the case.

Then the parents of other children may not have the chance to peacefully accompany their children as they grow up.

I don't want to see them sad and upset.

Chu Xuan, who was outside the kitchen, covered her mouth. Even she, a marshal who would not feel any guilt even if she killed hundreds of millions of people on the battlefield.

At this moment, she felt a deep sense of guilt.

It's guilt towards the child.

She owes this child so much.

Or rather...

From the moment she became Zhao Chen's child, it meant that their child was pitiful.

This reminded her of Charlotte and Lilith.

She remembered that in the past, she would often see the two of them spacing out from time to time, staring blankly in one direction.

She didn't think much of it at the time.

I just think this might be a mature change that comes with marriage.

Now she understands.

When they are lost in thought, it's probably because they're thinking about their children.

The direction they were gazing in was actually the direction of the child's galaxy.

They were standing in a very high position, so high that even their children couldn't see them.

At this moment, Chu Xuan also experienced this feeling.
