The whole empire knew the general was going to get a divorce

When Ivan returned home, Daniel called him that night.

"Danny, I'm sorry."

"I'm downstairs at your house, please open the door."

The voices on both sides of the phone rang at the same time, and Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, instead of using the sensor to open the door, he went downstairs directly.Daniel was wearing a windbreaker, almost blending into the night.Daniel stood at the door and did not come in, and Ivan walked out.

On the path filled with night, the two walked side by side. It was a quiet night, and the footsteps of the two were very obvious, which made the silence between the two even more obvious.

"Ewen, who is he?" Daniel broke the silence, his face was blurred in the night, but his eyes were terribly bright.

Daniel is a good man, and Ivan doesn't want to deceive him.

"We were married before, but divorced later." Ai Wen said honestly.

"So, he is Ryan's other father?" Daniel's voice was full of indescribable loss.Evan's husband, Ryan's father, a man who once had everything he dreamed of, made Daniel very jealous.

Ivan did not deny it: "Daniel, I have nothing to do with him now, and please don't tell anyone about Ryan, please help me keep this secret."

"Okay, I promise." Daniel said seriously, his voice was dry with a hint of tension, "Then Ivan, do you still like him?"

Ai Wen shook his head slowly: "He doesn't love me, this marriage was a mistake."

Daniel's nervous heart finally let go a little.

"If he conducts an investigation, he should know about Ryan." Daniel said worriedly.

"Lian is in the name of adoption, the laws of the empire, you know, if Ryan's legal identity is my son, then the empire will let another father know."

Daniel finally felt relieved.

"Ivan..." Daniel paused for a moment, then said, "Are you willing to listen to my business?"

"If you are willing to speak, I will naturally listen." Ivan said in a gentle voice.

"I don't know why they alienate me. Just like when I first entered the Krems State Hospital, I would always participate in whatever topics they had, but in the end they all broke up." Daniel's voice was a little depressed .

Ivan can almost imagine Daniel telling cold jokes with a cold face, which is not a joke in the ears of others, but a mockery.

"James and the others feel the same way, so even though they call me every time they go to a bar, I feel like a bystander every time."

Ivan thought of Daniel's appearance at the bar before. The man was dressed seriously and had a cold face. He didn't look like he was having fun, but he looked like a serious investigator. It would be strange if someone dared to strike up a conversation.

"Ewen, then I met you. You are a very good person, willing to listen to me, just like now. I have kept these words in my heart for many years." Isolated, no one to talk to, no matter how big the facial paralysis Also feel lonely.

In the night, Ivan's face froze for a moment.In fact, sometimes he can't appreciate Daniel's humor, but every time in order not to hit him, he cooperates with him very much.He didn't expect that it would end up like this, and Daniel regarded him as the only person who understood him.

"Ewen, can I pursue you?" Daniel asked seriously.

Ai Wen was stunned for a moment.

"Daniel, you may just regard me as a companion." Ivan said.

Daniel didn't speak, a gust of wind blew through and mixed with a icy chill.The two were silent for a moment, and Daniel suddenly said: "The wind is getting stronger and stronger, let's go back first."

The two walked back and said goodbye.The door closed, and Ivan's figure disappeared, but Daniel did not leave immediately, but stared straight at the tightly closed door.

Aiwen's life has returned to its former calm.Corian never looked for him again.Corian is a proud person, especially when Ivan said those words clearly, Ivan knew that Corian would never look for him again, and he might have been included in the 'blacklist'. The kind that communicates with each other.

The beginning between them was a mistake, and it would be a good thing if it really ended like this.

Ryan was young, but his mind was very sensitive. He only asked about the other parent once, and after realizing that Ivan didn't want to mention it, he never asked again.Looking at those eyes that are very similar to Corian, Ivan sometimes feels guilty, but all this is his choice, so he will try his best to give Ryan the best life.

More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

Roy came to say goodbye.Roy has already started his vacation, and in a few days, he will go to Oss City with Corian and become a member of the Empire's No. [-] military command center. His future is promising.

After all, Roy is still young and has a willful side.The boy is too clear about what he likes and what he hates. When he came to school, what he was looking for was not his current class guide, but Ivan.Yet no one dared to accuse him of his actions.

The boy was wearing off-white casual clothes.Sweeping away the previous decadence, he became energetic.

"Teacher, I've been looking for you, but I haven't found you after several visits." Roy said shyly.

"You can call me." Ivan said.

"Ah? You can still make a call!" The boy scratched his hair angrily. He actually forgot that he could still make a call first.

Ivan was amused by Roy's clumsiness, and took him to the small meeting room next door.There were only the two of them in the conference room.Ivan poured a glass of water for Roy, and the boy took it in a hurry.

"What are you doing now?" Ivan asked.

"Help Dad with work, and then learn about some things in Oss City. I don't want to be regarded as a country bumpkin by my new classmates!" Roy smiled brightly, "Teacher, were you in Oss City before? How did you know each other?" General Crane?"

"Teacher, you really don't hide anything." The young man's eyes sparkled, he was so curious that he wentssip, seeing that Aiwen didn't answer, he guessed to himself: "The teacher turned out to be General Corin's assistant, because of some disputes, so you Krems coming?"

"Or did you get injured on a mission and come here to recuperate?"

"No, you must have been a combat instructor before. Could it be that something happened to your partner? You came here out of sadness?"

The young man's thoughts were a bit unconstrained, and before the young man said even more strange remarks, Ai Wen finally said: "Honey, you might as well say that I am the Iron Warrior in the movie! You know, I don't even have a combat instructor certificate. nothing."

Roy stuck out his tongue secretly. This cute gesture was made by a tall and strong boy, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Oss City is the center of the empire. There are the most beautiful buildings in the entire empire, the most prosperous commercial center, the best schools, and the most powerful fighters. Roy, that is a place where dreams can come true. You have to work hard."

Roy's face also became serious: "Teacher, I will not let you down."

Ai Wen explained some more things, and the boy didn't leave until Ai Wen's next class was about to start.

Looking at the boy's figure, Ai Wen couldn't help but think of his 16-year-old appearance. At that time, he had just been admitted by Cypress, and he was also so energetic.At that time, he never imagined that those things would happen later, which changed the trajectory of his life before.

18 years passed in a blink of an eye, his 18 years... Ivan stopped thinking and walked towards the office.

"Iwen, the school is going to host a banquet for General Keruien, and your name is also on the list of participants." Others in the office had already left, and only Alice was sitting in Ivan's seat, and she said when she saw him come in.

Ivan's eyes widened in surprise: "With me?" He thought that Corian would never want to see him again.

"Honey, you are now a popular person in Liston, and the old devils dare not come to trouble you anymore. General Corinne personally appointed you as a guide, and the senior management of the school felt that General Corinne treated you differently." Look at each other. Ivan, your good day is coming." Alice blinked and said.

This list should have been drawn up by Riston's top management. Those leaders secretly speculated on Corian's thoughts, so Ivan's name was also on the list.

"Can I not go?" Ivan was not happy. He had just told Kerian two days ago that he hoped not to see him again.

"Then go talk to the principal." Alice thought Zai Wen was joking.

It wasn't until Aiwen really wanted to find the principal that Alice noticed the strangeness, and rushed up to hold Aiwen.

"Honey, no matter what the reason is, this is just a farewell dinner. All the middle and senior officials of the school participated. You must go, and you must go happily. The old devil will never dare to trouble you again in the future." Alice said .

Ivan thought for a while, and finally nodded.Not to mention the crowds, Corian couldn't notice him at all, and even if he saw him, he would just ignore him.But this is an opportunity for him after all, without Colin making things difficult, his life will be much easier in the future.

The night came quickly. When he was not divorced from Corian, Ivan would often go to some banquets held by Downton or some banquets that invited Corian. After arriving in Krimms, Ivan had not attended for many years. It's a party.But Ivan doesn't miss it. In his opinion, having a quiet meal with Ryan and Ms. Mary's family at home is more interesting than many banquets.

Ivan went to pick up Alice first, and then rushed to the dinner venue.Today's Alice is wearing a dignified and elegant white padded dress, which looks very beautiful.

The dinner was held at the largest hotel in John Town.Perhaps it was because of General Corian's great charm that many people entered the venue early. Alice walked in holding Ivan's hand. The handsome men and beauties aroused many people's jokes.Alvin originally wanted to pick a corner to sit quietly, but Alice took him directly to the middle seat, which has a better view and is closer to the owner's seat.

"Honey, just let me see General Corinne a few more times, and I won't see you again in the future." Alice said coquettishly.

The arm was tightly held by Alice's hand, and Ivan could only show a helpless smile.The guests were seated one after another, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax when Corian arrived.

"Honey, look!" Ivan was pulled up by Alice, and following his gaze, he saw Corian wearing a pure white suit. In contrast, the blond hair was a bit more colorful .Corian's eyes swept around, and when they fell on Ivan, he suddenly paused.But Ivan had lowered his head, so he didn't see Kerian's gaze.

"Honey, just now General Corinne took a look at me! Could it be that General Corinne no longer likes sexy dresses, but now prefers conservative ones?" Alice said excitedly, and then buttoned the top button of her clothes. buckle.

Alvin glanced at Alice hesitantly.

"Honey, are you blaming me for abandoning you?" Alice's beautiful eyes showed a hint of sadness.I have to say that this lady's acting skills are very good.

"...I just want to ask if you are not hot?" There is heating in the hotel, which is completely different from the cold outside, very warm.Ivan was only wearing a white shirt, while Alice was wearing such a thick skirt that was buttoned up very tightly. Just looking at it made her feel hot.

"..." Alice turned her head, facing Ivan with the back of her head.

Alvin touched his nose and lowered his head again.

The farewell banquet of the imperial general was a formulaic banquet. Corian's arrival caused a sensation, but the thank-you speech by the principal afterward made people drowsy.

At the beginning of the banquet, Aiwen held a cup in his hand and kept focusing on the cup in front of him.In this banquet, Ai Wen was originally a small person, except for Roy who came to toast, he was quickly forgotten.Alice probably couldn't bear the heat anymore, so she could only stay in place quietly.

"That slut, Aphra, squeezed her entire chest onto General Corinne when she was toasting." Alice leaned into Ivan's ear and said.

"Honey, your breasts are bigger than hers." Ivan comforted.

"Ewen, you still have vision," Alice moved closer: "Oh my god, I'm really dying of heat."

Ivan finally couldn't help laughing, and Alice gave him a hard look.The 'intimacy' between the two finally attracted people's attention.

"Alice, you're beautiful again." Alice raised her head suddenly when she heard the voice, and saw Corian standing beside her, staring at her with blue eyes.General Corian's voice was very gentle, but for some reason, she always felt an inexplicable hostility.How could Corian be hostile to her?Alice thought, this must be an illusion.

"Thank you, General Corian, let's have a drink." Alice said with a smile, and then glanced at Aphra proudly.

After clinking glasses, Corian expressed enough respect to the lady and drank it down.Alice let out an exclamation.

Ai Wen kept his head down, holding the wine in his hand, and occasionally took a sip.

"Vodka has a high alcohol concentration. I remember that you don't have a lot of alcohol and can drink vodka in one gulp." Corian said suddenly.

Looking at the vodka in his hand, Ivan lowered his eyes at first, but Corian never left, and Ivan finally raised his head.The four eyes met. For some reason, Aiwen always felt that Corian's gaze was a little strange. Aiwen looked away without any trace, and said politely: "Thank you for your concern."

Corian put a glass of red wine in front of Ivan before turning to leave.

"Iwen, General Corin really treats you differently, what will that old Colin dare to say in the future!" Alice whispered.

Ai Wen smiled and said nothing, but he never touched the glass of red wine.

"Ivan, don't get drunk." Alice said.

"Honey, I drink very well." Ivan said meaningfully.But Corian's self-righteous relationship made Ivan feel mocked.

Corian's popularity is indeed very high, the principal's lengthy speech finally ended, and Corian began to speak.Even the formulaic speech drew lots of applause, mixed with screams from the ladies.

The atmosphere of the banquet is getting better and better, and Ivan is still staring at the vodka in front of him.Aiwen's alcohol capacity is indeed very good, and the only sequelae of drinking is the bladder feeling.Alvin stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Ai Wen walked to the door of the bathroom and saw a person standing at the door. The person looked familiar, and Ai Wen couldn't help but take a second look.

"Mr. Winston, I'm Kaqi Laner." The man said.

Ai Wen nodded politely and walked in.There was a layer of alcohol smell in the bathroom, and one person was propping up on the sink, and Ai Wen turned his head to look.

It's Corin.

The water fell down along the side of the man's tough face, and the long eyelashes were also covered with water droplets. The man's eyes were closed tightly, his lips were tightly pressed, and his forehead was slightly wrinkled, as if feeling a little uncomfortable.Corian doesn't drink well, so he hates attending those entertaining banquets. Even if he goes to attend, he drinks a little politely every time, and has never been drunk.It's just that today, Corian seems to be always coming, giving everyone enough face, being so friendly that it's almost abnormal, with a kind of indulgence, and then...drunk.

Ai Wen took a look, then entered the toilet cubicle.

When Ivan came out, Corian was standing against the wall, staring at him with a pair of blue eyes.Alvin nodded, then turned and walked out.Before he reached the door, Kerian suddenly grabbed his hand.With great strength, Corian pulled him over, put his hands on his sides, and trapped him in the corner.

Ivan didn't like this posture, so he couldn't help but frowned: "Corian, you're drunk."

"Ivan, why didn't you come to see me? I lived in Scott for ten days." The man's voice questioned, and his warm breath mixed with the strong smell of alcohol hit Ivan's face.

"Actually... I wanted to call you." Corian narrowed his eyes and said, "But I'm waiting for you."

Corian's words made Ivan feel a little confused.

"Corian, I thought I made my words very clear." Ivan said.

"Clear? No, Aiwen, you don't know. There are many things that cannot be forgotten. We have been married for five years, and your feelings for me will not disappear so easily." Corian said, seeming to be convincing himself.

Aiwen sneered: "Corian, I love you. I didn't want to say who was right and who was wrong. Because I love you, I chose to bear the consequences. But what did you do? You secretly took contraceptives , you create genetic humans, and all of this, I was kept in the dark!"

"Birth control pills?"

"It's no use talking about it now, Corian, I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm not interested in it anymore. Sorry, I should go back." Ivan was about to push Corian away after finishing speaking.

Corian's blue eyes darkened a bit, and he said with envy in his tone: "Ask you to go back and kiss me with that woman?"

Aiwen has a gentle temper, but he is not without temper: "Corian, there is no relationship between us anymore, I have never asked about your affairs, and mine has nothing to do with you!"

Ivan's struggle only aggravated Corian's anger. Seeing the person struggling in his arms, the chord of reason in Corian's mind, who was already slightly drunk, had already arrived.

"Ewen, I don't know that five years have passed, and you have become such a person!"

There was sarcasm in Corian's voice.

"Snapped!"

Ai Wen almost exhausted all his strength, and the sound was very clear.The man's face turned red instantly. Corian covered his face and stood there, obviously not understanding what happened.

In terms of strength, Kerian is much bigger than Irwin.But now Corian is drunk, and what he said really angered Ivan.

At that moment, Ivan's whole body was suddenly full of strength, and with a hard push, he pushed Kerian to the ground.

The tall and strong man fell to the ground, hateful and pitiful.

Ai Wen walked directly to the door, and there were two people standing at the bathroom door, both staring at him dumbfounded.

Kutch and Alice.

Kaqi froze for a moment, and rushed in quickly.

Alice was obviously greatly stimulated.

"Honey, what's going on? You and Corian..."

"Just as you thought." Ai Wen said lightly, and left without waiting for the banquet to end.
