"Sir, the madam asked me to remind you to go onto the Star Network's live broadcast platform and watch channel 266 this afternoon. May I ask if you want to do this now?"[1] In the living room, the butler glanced at the connector that had specially been placed on the living room table by the madam and approached the man in order to carefully inquire about this.

Channel 266?

Tanner frowned. He had a vague impression of this live broadcast channel, but it had been a long time since he last visited it and even after thinking deeply he still could not remember what was broadcasted on it.

Eventually he gave a slow nod and put away the document in his hand.

The butler brought a tea set and after being served, Tanner leaned back and leisurely took a sip as he waited for the other to set it up.

He did not know why his wife had specially arranged for him to be reminded to watch a live broadcast. But he was not busy at the moment and if his wife wanted him to watch it, then it certainly must be for a good reason.

He and Fuya's marriage could be regarded as an arranged marriage.

The Waren family had financial resources and the Leicester was a renowned deep rooted family. On the surface it looked like a mutually beneficial arrangement. However, for Fuya to marry him, it was in fact still a quite low marriage for someone with her background.

The reason for this was that it was not something planned by the Leicester family. As the only daughter of the old master and the youngest in the family, Fuya had been favored by the elders of the Leicester family. She had therefore been given the freedom to choose by herself who she wanted to marry and she had chosen him.

At that time, he had already become the master of the Waren family and he had been relatively indifferent towards his marriage partner at first. For him, marriage was a way to tie two families together in a mutually beneficial relationship. He had felt that it did not matter which family's young lady he married, it was enough as long as they respected each other after marriage.

But after marrying his present wife and living with her for so long, Tanner could not deny that he had developed certain feelings for her.

The connector on the living room table was started by the butler and after entering the platform and jumping to channel 266, a live video immediately appeared on the virtual screen.

As soon as he laid eyes on it, Tanner was stunned.

It was the Cub Flying Competition.

At this time, the vague impression in Tanner's heart became clear, the channel had looked familiar since it was there that the flying competition was broadcasted live every year.

Because of the matter regarding their cub, Tanner had not paid attention to the competition for the past two years, or more accurately, had deliberately avoided it. Suddenly seeing it awoke complex feelings in his heart.

What was the meaning of this?

Seeing the flying competition only made him think of his three year old cub who could still not fly. Tanner immediately felt a bit depressed.

He did not want to watch the live broadcast, but knowing that his wife wanted him to see it, Tanner endured and in the end did not make the butler turn off the connector.

The competition was close to ending either way, the only thing left was for the committee to announce the results.

With the thought of completing his wife's request, Tanner lowered his head and unhurriedly poured himself some tea as he listened to the voice of the competition's host.
