Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

In the Federal Empire, any woman who had reached twenty years of age must get married, or be randomly assigned a husband by the System. Thus, on her wedding day, the eve of her 20th birthday, Valerie Sullivan waited anxiously for her betrothed, Isaac Holt, to show up—only to find out that he was not coming after all! Trapped in this desperate situation, she grabbed the first handsome stranger she bumped into and got him to be her stand-in groom. It did not hurt that this mysterious Jonny was just her type—young and innocent-looking, with furry ears and a large fluffy tail. So, what if he seemed a little lost and confused? The wedding went on as planned, and Valerie was saved from public humiliation but only for the moment. After all, her marriage to Isaac was supposed to solidify the business partnership between the Sullivans and the Holts. In addition, her sister, Madeline, did not seem too happy that things turned out well for Valerie. Worst of all, Valerie found out that Jonny was an important, influential figure—Jonathan Gunn—the first commander of the Empire and uncle to the current monarch! Who had Valerie actually married—the sensitive, adorable Jonny, or the formidable, impassive Jonathan? Would this last-second pairing end in true love or divorce?

Chapter 156 Is Commander Gu Angry?

Sheng Le was indeed lucky to be alive.

He ultimately survived.

However, his build, which should have been immense due to his status as a Beastman, was anything but sturdy due to years of malnutrition.

He really resembled a monkey more than anything else.

"Damn! Hit again!"

The confrontation in the arena was nearing its end.

The tall man managed to hit Sheng Le several times, at one point even breaking one of Sheng Le's teeth.

But Sheng Le acted as if he felt no pain at all, his movements becoming faster and more vicious!

Finally, there came a moment when he successfully circled around to his opponent's back.

With a powerful kick,

the tall and burly man crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Even Mu Xiaoge clapped his hands, saying, "This kid is not bad, he has a natural combat instinct!"

The corners of Su Wan's mouth slowly curled up.

Of course, he was not bad.

After all, the boy was her good friend's younger brother.
