Chapter 14 - Invitation List
After returning from the cultivation base, Luo Fei went to take a bath immediately, unable to stand the scent of various flowers on his body.
Just after taking a shower, he received a communication request from the palace. It was a video invitation from his dear father Lin Yuan.
Naturally, Luo Fei didn’t dare to refuse and accepted it immediately.
Lin Yuan was sitting beside the bed, wearing a white bathrobe; he obviously just finished taking a shower. The holographic video made the scene extraordinarily realistic, and Luo Fei felt like he was chatting with his father face to face. He couldn’t help smiling, and asked softly, “Dad, you haven’t slept yet?”
Lin Yuan asked directly: “Why didn’t you tell us about the electrical failure of the spaceship?”
Luo Fei was startled, and quickly explained: “It’s just a glitch, I didn’t want you to worry.”
Lin Yuan frowned lightly. “The news about the power outage of the KM Airlines spaceship has spread a lot in the past few days, occupying the headlines of major websites. If I didn’t see it when I checked the news today, I wouldn’t have known it was your spaceship.” He paused, looked at his son with concern, and said, “How is it, are you alright?”
Luo Fei said: “I’m fine. The power supply was temporarily cut off, and was soon repaired.”
Lin Yuan took a closer look at his son, and found that there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved. “Be careful outside, there have been frequent accidents on interstellar passenger ships recently. Why don’t you just ask Chongming to take you back to the Capital Planet? Chongming’s speed is much faster than an ordinary spaceship.”
Luo Fei said: “En, I will go to other galaxies and come back after the New Year.”
Lin Yuan asked, “Where do you want to go after leaving Lyra?”
Luo Fei said: “I want to go to Planet Ryan where father grew up and see the snow.”
Lin Yuan recalled the memories of his childhood on Planet Ryan, and the corners of his lips could not help but smile: “Planet Ryan is covered with snow all year round, and is a vast expanse of white. There is also a famous snow mountain, where the scenery is very spectacular. However, the temperature is very low, remember to wear more clothes when you go.” Lin Yuan paused, picked up a list on the table and said, “The list of guests invited to the birthday party has been drawn up. Do you want to see it?”
“No, dad can decide.” The guests invited to a prince’s birthday party are usually military and political officials, and Luo Fei is not interested in reading the list in detail.
“Don’t you have any friends you want to invite?” Lin Yuan asked suspiciously.
“…” Hearing these words, Luo Fei suddenly saw the figure of Mo Han in his mind.
He grew up under the protection of his father since he was a child, and also studied in the palace as well. When he was able to go to school, he went to the well-known aristocratic academy in Capital Star. Students are all from prominent families, and there are many cliques among the students. Strictly speaking, most of the “friends” were because of his status as the prince. There’s also a few because their parents are friends, which he’s known since childhood.
But Mo Han is different.
The meeting on the spaceship was a coincidence. At the time, Mo Han was still wearing a mask. Luo Fei witnessed his terrifying ability to repair the system in 35 seconds. While curious about his identity, he actually admired him in his heart.
Then he met Mo Han again at the Mo family banquet. Mo Han stood behind his father, personable, calm and mature. Luo Fei heard a lot of things about Mo Han from Emil, and was very fond of this young and promising alpha, so he concealed his identity, asked Emil to introduce him, and made friends with Mo Han.
Mo Han was the first friend he actively wanted to meet.
So when the option to invite a friend was mentioned, he subconsciously thought of this person.
It’s a pity that he pretended to be a graduate of Hermann University to become friends with Mo Han; it’s not easy to invite him to his birthday party with this identity.
Thinking of this, Luo Fei felt a little regret, but smiled and said, “No need, Dad. I don’t have anyone I want to invite, so just do it according to the list.”
Lin Yuan grew up fighting and sparring, so he didn’t notice the change of his son’s mood. He simply nodded and said: “Well, you should rest early.”

After turning off the communicator, Lin Yuan called up the guest list and took a look.
His Majesty Xize attaches great importance to the coming-of-age ceremony of the twin brothers, Luo Fei and Luo Ning. Everyone in the Empire was naturally very attentive when they heard the news, and the congratulatory messages had piled up like a mountain in the palace.
After Xize ascended the throne, much of his time has been spent on reforming the military and Congress. However, in recent years, he has also been invited to participate in some economic summits, maintaining necessary contacts with the business circle. In the past, they might only invite figures from the military and political circles. But this time, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce offered to celebrate the eighteenth birthdays of the First Prince and the Second Prince, and the resulting invite list was twice as large as the previous birthday parties.
There are many names on the guest list, and they are all people who often appear in the news of the financial channel.
Lin Yuan glanced at it, then put the list back on the table.
————
At the same time, the Mo family.
Mo Lin was sitting in a wheelchair, and his personal optical brain was placed on the side.
His slender fingers were typing on the keyboard quickly, and on the transparent LCD screen, rows of codes flashed past his eyes at a dizzying speed.
Noah couldn’t help complaining: “Master, why are you writing code in a wheelchair today?”
Mo Lin said indifferently: “The last time I was acting in front of Luo Fei, I was not very proficient in operating the wheelchair. I almost fell and revealed myself. Just in case, I should practice more on how to sit in a wheelchair, so my performance can be more realistic when the situation arises.”
Noah: “…”
In order to act in front of the First Prince, the master really works hard!
At this moment, the communicator suddenly lit up, it was a request from his father.
After Mo Lin connected, his father appeared on the holographic screen in front of him.
Looking at his son in the wheelchair, Mo Qiming wasn’t surprised, and said calmly, “Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock sharp, KM Airlines will hold an emergency shareholders meeting. Bring your proposal so I can take a look.”
“Understood.” Mo Lin nodded.
Mo Qiming smiled: “Haven’t you put away the wheelchair yet? Are you a little too addicted to acting?”
Mo Lin quickly put away the wheelchair, took a neatly pressed shirt from the side, and put it on.
—Ten seconds later, he was the handsome alpha Mo Han.
Mo Qiming watched his son’s frightening speed of changing clothes in one breath, rubbed his temples helplessly, and said, “I’ll wait for you in the study.”
Mo Lin: “Okay, I’ll come right away.”
A moment later, Mo Han appeared at the door of the study, and knocked on the door.
Mo Qiming: “Come in.”
He went straight in, opened the prepared plan on the holographic screen, and showed it to his father.
Mo Qiming looked at it carefully, frowned and said, “Your plan is too risky.”
Mo Han said earnestly: “I know it is very risky, but now is indeed the best opportunity. Public opinion is not good, and the public’s anger has been completely ignited. If it’s not handled properly, KM Airlines may never turn around again. If we want to win this battle, we must have the determination to win. Doesn’t father want to take a gamble?”
Mo Han looked up at his father. His voice was very calm, his expression was steady, and his eyes were full of confidence and firmness. Not only is he smart, but he also has the courage to innovate and take risks. He really deserves to be the son of a certain omega who ran away from his wedding.
Mo Qiming carefully reviewed the plan again, and nodded, “Okay, just use your plan. I will try my best to convince other shareholders.”
Mo Han breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, “Thank you for supporting my idea, father.”
Facing his clear eyes that were incomparably similar to the omega in his memory, Mo Qiming’s heart softened. He stood up from the chair behind the table, walked up to Mo Han, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his son’s hair. “Just do what you want. No matter how big the risk is, remember, father will bear it for you.”
Mo Han nodded vigorously: “En.”
—With the support of such a powerful father, he is indeed not afraid of anything.
Mo Qiming smiled slightly, then took an invitation letter from the table and handed it to him: “One more thing, I just received it today.”
Mo Han took it over and took a closer look. The platinum-gold invitation letter is very beautifully made. Inside it was written the words “Mr. Mo Qiming is sincerely invited to attend the coming-of-age ceremony banquet of the First Prince Luo Fei and the Second Prince Luo Ning”, with a detailed time and location behind it.
Mo Han was puzzled and said, “Why did we receive the invitation letter for the coming-of-age ceremony of the two princes? Our Mo family has never had any contact with the imperial family, right?”
Mo Qiming said: “This was not sent by the royal family on its own initiative, but after the Imperial Chamber of Commerce first expressed its intention to attend the birthday banquet, the royal family made a superficial effort to send invitations to several standing directors.” He glanced at the time on the invitation letter, and said, “On the 10th of next month, you and I will go to Capital Star to attend the birthday banquet of the First and Second Princes.”
Mo Han frowned slightly. “Is it okay if I don’t go? I don’t really like this kind of lively occasion.”
Mo Qiming patted him on the shoulder and said, “You should come. Usually we have no contact with the royal family, but the twins Luo Fei and Luo Ning’s eighteenth birthday is a major event for the entire empire, so we should take the initiative to go to congratulate them. In addition there are several large companies who will also attend this birthday party, we must not lose our etiquette.”
He paused, looked at his son gently and said, “After your play in front of the First Prince, it is impossible for the First Prince to know that Mo Lin’s disability and mental illness are all faked, let alone guess that Mo Han and Mo Lin are the same person. Using the identity of Mo Han to follow me to the palace can also open your eyes; there is no harm in doing business and getting to know more people.”
Mo Han looked down at the platinum invitation letter, then shrugged slightly: “Okay.”
He thought a little amusedly, if he appeared at the First Prince’s birthday party, wouldn’t that “senior”‘s vest be ripped off in person?
Don’t know if the First Prince will be surprised or frightened?
Hehe, MC/ML surprise showdown coming up
