StarCraft: The Extinction Commander is completely smitten.

Chapter 111 [111] Unforgettable

"Mom, the Holy Mother replied to my message. She agreed to let me work at her Romantic House Flower Shop. I'll go tomorrow."

Dongfang Qingluan pretended to be very excited, her eyes even brimming with tears.

When it comes to acting, she feels she still needs to learn from her mother.

She will find out who the male is that her mother can't forget.
What kind of story happened between the mother and that male?
Qu Wan'er's previously concealed hatred quickly vanished at this moment. Very well, this bastard has finally become somewhat useful, able to serve as a stepping stone for her and his son.

"Really? Our Luan'er is amazing!"

"Luan'er, you are truly your mother's pride."

"Come, come, tell your mother quickly, what did the Holy Mother say to you?"

She suppressed her ruthlessness in wanting to punish Dongfang Qingluan, and looked at Dongfang Qingluan with a loving expression, as if she had always loved Dongfang Qingluan.

For a moment, Dongfang Qingluan was in a daze, as if she had received her mother's true love.

Unfortunately, just as Dongfang Qingluan wanted to take a closer look, her mother urged her to tell her what the Holy Mother had said to her, but didn't even bother to give her a hug.

“Mother, look, this is how the Holy Mother answered me.”

Dongfang Qingluan felt a pang of pain in her heart and showed the quantum computer to her mother.

Sure enough, her mother was only overjoyed that she could get close to the Holy Mother, and didn't even deign to give her a loving look.

Qu Wan'er quickly grabbed the personal terminal and looked at the Holy Mother's reply to Dongfang Qingluan. Thinking that her and Dongfang Qingluan's conspiracy was about to succeed, a smile spread across her eyes: "Luan'er, hurry, hurry, hurry and bring your father back."

"Tonight, let's have a good celebration as a family."

"This is a joyous occasion. No matter what, we must bring your father back so we can celebrate properly for you."

Overjoyed, she quickly grabbed her personal terminal and shared the good news with Dongfang Yinxiao.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yinxiao was overjoyed upon hearing the news and immediately video-called Qu Wan'er.

Soon, Dongfang Yinxiao saw his wife and daughter, who were leaning on each other and smiling at him. He quickly said, "Wan'er, Luan'er, this is a great joy for our family."

"Wait for me, I'll take care of what I'm doing and then go home."

He said something to Qu Wan'er and Dongfang Qingluan, then quickly hung up the video call. After arranging what he was doing, he boarded the aircraft and sped off towards home.

Qu Wan'er quickly instructed the servants to prepare dinner, which was really just putting various nutrient solutions on the table.

Dongfang Qingluan lowered her eyes, concealing all clarity. When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with an innocent smile: "Mother, I remember everything you asked me to do."

"I will definitely gain the Holy Mother's trust as soon as possible, and then take her to stroll through the bustling streets of the capital."

She had a vague idea about what her mother had asked her to do, but she had no way of verifying it.

However, she soon discovered that her mother's disregard for her life was likely due to a great secret she was hiding, a secret that even her father probably didn't know.

"Mother, you asked me to take the Holy Mother somewhere. There shouldn't be any danger, right?"

"As you know, the Holy Mother is not only the hope of the Starry Sky Empire, but also the hope of the entire interstellar space."

"What if she gets kidnapped, or something bad happens?"

"I'll become the prime suspect, Mother. Are you sure you want to continue with our previous plan?" Before her father returned, Dongfang Qingluan wanted to confirm one last time whether her mother had considered her feelings at all.

Qu Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, but then she put on a kind smile: "Luan'er, you are my daughter, but the Holy Mother doesn't think much of you. You are a very important person to me."

"It's just that the Holy Mother will stay with him for a few days; he will absolutely not harm her."

"Besides, they'll make it seem like you're a victim too. What are you worried about?"

"Could it be that Luan'er doesn't trust her mother?"

She retreated as a tactic to advance, her eyes filled with hurt.

Dongfang Qingluan's heart was instantly torn apart, but she didn't want to lose her mother's love, even if it required her to pay a price. She was like a drowning person grasping at a straw, unwilling to let go.

"Luan'er understands. Luan'er will take care of this matter for Mother."

She caught a glimpse of her father returning out of the corner of her eye, and quickly and gently shook her mother's arm, signaling with her eyes.

Qu Wan'er followed Dongfang Qingluan's gaze and saw Dongfang Yinxiao, who had a joyful expression on his face, walking towards the mother and daughter.

"Ah Xiao, you're back! Luan'er and I have been waiting for you so anxiously."

Qu Wan'er and Dongfang Qingluan looked every bit the perfect mother and daughter, showing love and filial piety.

When Dongfang Yinxiao, who had been busy for many days, returned home and saw this scene, he was deeply moved. He quickly stepped forward, embraced his wife and daughter, and said in a choked voice, "Wan'er, Luan'er, come on, let's go have dinner first."

"Luan'er's ability to connect with the Holy Mother is a good omen for our family's impending rise."

"The Holy Consort is currently extremely popular, not only in the Star Empire, but throughout the entire interstellar space."

He was emotionally overwhelmed, no longer displaying his aloof demeanor in public, but rather revealing his undisguised joy.

Qu Wan'er looked at Dongfang Yinxiao with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes or her heart: "Ah Xiao, let's talk while we eat. You are experienced, so teach Luan'er how to deal with workplace issues."

"The Holy Mother seems approachable; I suppose she won't make things difficult for Luan'er."

The thought of her and her son's obsession with the Holy Mother made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Dongfang Yinxiao was very happy. As long as Luan'er got on the good side of the Holy Mother, he would rise to a higher position in the officialdom: "That's for sure. Luan'er is so smart and eloquent."

"By chatting more with the Holy Mother, you can subtly find out her preferences, and then cater to those preferences. Wouldn't that naturally bring you closer?"

His mind was racing; perhaps he should consider selecting some of the young males from the Dongfang family, especially the good-looking ones.

Dongfang Qingluan stared blankly at her father. Suddenly, she realized that the fatherly love she had once felt was nothing special.

Perhaps, to her parents, she was merely a tool, a means to achieve their desires.

"That's right, Luan'er, have you remembered what your father said?"

"You know, this job is definitely the best stepping stone for you."

“It is much better than what your father gave you.”

Qu Wan'er's attention was entirely focused on Dongfang Yinxiao, and she didn't notice the subtle changes in Dongfang Qingluan at all.
