Chapter 163 Why Not Give it a Try?

The bedroom fell silent the moment Shu Lin finished speaking.

Even the wind outside seemed to have stopped, and time froze.

“Why don’t you run for president?”

These unintentional words echoed in the air.

Shu Lin blinked, looking at the suddenly stiff Alpha with confusion. “Husband? Did I say something wrong?”

Shao Chengxi’s pupils dilated slightly, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

He slowly released Shu Lin from his embrace, stood up, walked to the window, and pulled open a corner of the curtain.

The moonlight cast a silver lining on his silhouette.

“No…baby, you didn’t say anything wrong,” he said, his voice a little tight. “It’s just…”

It was just that this thought was too astonishing.

Shao Chengxi did indeed harbor the ambition to become the youngest president of the empire.

But according to convention, presidential candidates needed at least ten years of deep cultivation in politics.

He was not yet thirty, and the position of Minister of Defense was already an exceptional promotion…

Moreover, he wasn’t even thirty years old yet, which didn’t meet the age requirements of the constitutional amendment.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

The Seventh Amendment to Chapter Three of the Constitution…

Shao Chengxi turned around abruptly, a startling light igniting in his eyes. “That’s right, baby, you’re right.”

He remembered.

The constitutional amendment stipulated that presidential candidates must be at least thirty years old.

But the deadline was before the inauguration date.

Shao Chengxi turned thirty on April 10th this year.

And at that time, the presidential election would still be in progress, not yet the inauguration date.

Shu Lin was startled by his sudden excitement and leaned back slightly. “So…so…?”

“So, according to the law, I am fully qualified to run!”

The reason the Shao family hadn’t considered this idea was because it completely broke the conventions of the political arena.

But since it complied with the constitutional amendment, why not give it a try?

Shao Chengxi returned to the sofa in two steps, cupping Shu Lin’s face in his hands. “Baby, you’re truly my lucky star!”

Shu Lin was kissed senseless and finally managed to break free.

He had just asked casually.

Lying down on the bed with Shu Lin, Shao Chengxi used his pheromones to soothe his Omega while his mind raced.

From another perspective, if he ran now, it would actually be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The public’s support for Hong Zhengyue and Wu Xun was not high, and the ruling parties were taking a wait-and-see attitude toward them.

His entry as a new presidential candidate would undoubtedly give the public another choice.

The only disadvantage was that he was too young and inexperienced, which would be controversial.

Therefore, the first thing to do was to break people’s prejudice against his age.

This was very, very difficult.

But not impossible.

Under the soothing of Shao Chengxi’s pheromones, Shu Lin gradually fell asleep.

Similarly, under the influence of Shu Lin’s pheromones, Shao Chengxi slowly became drowsy.

In the second half of the night, he embraced his Omega from behind and slept soundly.

The next day, Shao Chengxi returned early, which was rare, had dinner with Shu Lin, and helped him take a walk in the botanical garden.

Although it was the cold winter in Imperial Capital, the botanical garden was still warm as spring, with lush greenery.

The concentration of negative oxygen ions was extremely high here, and Shu Lin came almost every day.

After walking for a while, Shao Chengxi and Shu Lin sat down on the sofa to rest.

Shu Lin glanced at him and asked, “Husband, is there something you want to tell me?”

Shao Chengxi lovingly scratched the tip of his nose. “You can’t hide anything from you.”

Saying this, he knelt on one knee in front of Shu Lin, his expression serious.

“Baby, if I run for president, you will definitely be greatly affected.”

Shu Lin met his gaze, his expression gentle. “Then tell me, what kind of effects are there?”

Shao Chengxi listed them one by one.

First of all, he would definitely have less time to take care of him.

Secondly, political enemies would be watching them all the time, using any means to attack them.

He was afraid that the political enemies’ despicable tactics would stimulate Shu Lin, and if something dangerous happened…

Also, at some point, he might need Shu Lin to assist him…

Shao Chengxi’s voice became smaller and smaller, swallowing with difficulty.

But Shu Lin smiled and reached out to smooth the Alpha’s tightly furrowed brows.

“Husband, do you think that after marrying you, I’m not used to being watched?”

From being secretly watched by bodyguards in the early stages to the excessive attention after his identity was revealed later.

Shu Lin had already gotten used to all of this.

“As for the attacks…it’s nothing more than a war of words. As long as I don’t care, no one can do anything to me?”

“Husband, believe me, I’m not as fragile as you think.”

Saying this, he blinked slyly.

“I’m a US-Class Omega, not even afraid of Alpha’s suppressing pheromones, what’s there to fear about a little verbal attack?”

Shao Chengxi met his gaze, suddenly buried his face in Shu Lin’s palm, and said with a choked voice,

“Baby, I’m sorry…thank you…”

Without delay, two days later, Shao Chengxi organized another family meeting.

This time, Shu Lin and Shu Jingcheng also participated.

Shu Lin sat on the soft chair by the window, and the sunlight shone on his face through the gauze curtains.

His gaze swept across the faces of the attendees.

Shao Chengxi first walked up to Shu Lin, leaned down and whispered, “Baby, how are you feeling?”

Shu Lin squeezed his palm, giving him a reassuring smile.

“I’m fine, don’t worry, husband, start quickly, everyone’s waiting.”

Shao Chengxi raised his hand and ruffled his hair, nodded understandingly, straightened up, and looked around at everyone, his voice calm and powerful.

“I’ve asked everyone here today to announce a decision…”

“I’m going to participate in this year’s presidential election.”

The study fell silent.

The first to show a surprised expression was Shu Jingcheng.

He looked at his daughter.

Shu Lingxiao nodded almost imperceptibly—obviously, she already knew.

Shao Chengxi had specifically invited Shu Jingcheng to come, all because of Shu Lin.

He hoped that Shu Jingcheng could stay by Shu Lin’s side more during his election period.

During the election, he would inevitably be unable to attend to everything, and with Shu Jingcheng around, he would feel much more at ease.

Shu Jingcheng naturally understood his intentions and solemnly agreed.

In addition to Shu Jingcheng, Shao Chengxi also asked Shao Yuqin.

Everyone gladly agreed.

After resolving this worry, everyone began to get to the point.

The primary problem to be solved was how to obtain the qualifications of a candidate.
