Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

After what seemed like forever, when the dishes were finally served, Su Zhen and the other two had little appetite left.

But Su Wan was hungry.

She said to the Commander beside her, "Ajue, this dish is delicious, why don’t you give it a try? It’s a shame it’s too far for me to reach."

"I’ll get it for you."

"Thank you, Ajue. Have a piece as well and see how it tastes?"

Commander Gu’s every move was the center of attention at this table.

Then, everyone saw him get several pieces of crispy meat for Su Wan, and finally, he picked up a small piece for himself and tasted it.

Then...

"It’s not as good as yours."

Su Wan’s lips curled up slightly, "Of course! When we get home, I’ll make it for you!"

Commander Gu’s lips slowly curled into a smile, "Good."

It was so mushy, it was almost unbearable to watch!

Everyone was shocked; they hadn’t expected Commander Gu to be this kind of person!

On the way to the restroom halfway through, Su Wan happened to go with Cecilia.

She said, "Sister-in-law, don’t take it to heart. Those three..."

"I know."

Among Su Ni’s family, Cecilia liked Su Wan the most.

Not because she was the wife of the Commander.

But because she was clear-headed and lived life with clarity.

How to describe her?

She was like a magical little sister, sometimes seeming delicate and beautiful, just like a little princess.

But at times, she could be incredibly strong.

She could deftly secure the inheritance of a restaurant and, as a pure human, transfer to the Empire Military College.

Cecilia might have understood why the Commander was so fond of Xiaowan.

Cecilia said, "As for Xiaoni’s father, he’s an elder, so I won’t say much. But as for those two, I really dislike them."

At that moment, in the next room over, Su Man couldn’t take it anymore and burst out.

"Sister-in-law! Don’t let Su Wan instigate you! I’ve always had the best relationship with my second brother. If you don’t believe it, just ask him!"

Su Man no longer had the opportunity to marry Su Ni.

But, she still had a chance to enter the entertainment industry, right?

To get into the entertainment industry, her biggest shortcut was through Su Ni’s connections!

Preferably to start with a role to shoot and shows to attend!

Although Su Man disliked Cecilia, she couldn’t afford to offend her.

After all, she was a top agent in the industry!

If she could just get closer to her by leveraging her status as Su Ni’s most beloved sister...

But at that moment, Cecilia said, "Oh, so you have the best relationship with Xiaoni, so much so that you wanted to marry him and therefore you dislike me, is that it?"

"Ah! That’s not true! Sister-in-law, don’t overthink it. My second brother and I are just siblings! As for the previous marriage incident, that was just our parents grasping at straws out of desperation."

Su Wan leisurely washed her hands by the side, smiling in the mirror at the reflected image of Su Man.

"Oh, so you know you’re sick, Su Man."

"You!"

"Su Man, come to think of it, isn’t your birthday in less than twenty days?"

She turned her head, her lips curling into a smile.

Her extremely luscious and beautiful face sparkled even more because of that smile.

Su Wan: "That feeling, thanks to you, I know it all too well. Thankfully, heaven took pity on me, and in the final hours, I met Ajue. Su Man, I’m suddenly quite curious about what kind of man the Main System will match with you."

Terror seeped into Su Man’s eyes, threatening to overflow!

She stepped back two steps, almost falling to the ground, her face deathly pale.

"Su Wan! You, you couldn’t possibly be thinking of seeking out Main System Bai Ze..."

"No, I don’t need to. I trust Bai Ze’s algorithms, which based on all kinds of logical calculations, will ensure that your husband will be definitely, especially, suited for you!"

Su Man’s entire body was ice-cold.

She turned and ran outside.

It was as if something behind her was threatening her life!

Seeing Su Man scared off, Su Wan turned back to Cecilia and said, "Sister-in-law, do you feel like I’m a bad woman?"

"Do you? You don’t bully ordinary people. Everything you do is just self-defense."

Su Wan’s eyes curved into a smile, "Sister-in-law, I really like you. Honestly, I’m not cruel enough. If I were, I’d have already thrown that pair of green tea mother and daughter onto Barren Star to mine."

Indeed, she was still a kind-hearted little angel.

Cecilia couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

But she liked Su Wan even more.

Since Su Man had run off midway and Du Weiwei took the chance to go see her daughter, she never returned.

With a heavy heart, Su Zhen would occasionally lift his head to look at Lin Ranyue...

And then, he would find that every time he looked at Lin Ranyue, she was looking at Mu Lei.

The corners of his mouth carried the familiar smile.

Only, that bloom-like smile was no longer for him.

And at this very moment, Su Ni, who sat closest to Su Zhen, said, "Dad, do you want some vinegar?"

"No! I’m not jealous!"

Su Ni: ???

That dish was supposed to be eaten with vinegar to taste better.

Dinner finally ended. Whether the others were full or not, Su Wan was quite satisfied.

After bidding farewell to her family, Su Wan lazily nestled on the spacecraft’s sofa chair. She sent a message to her mom, Lin Ranyue.

Su Wan: Mom, I think Su Zhen regrets divorcing you.

Lin Ranyue: Then I’m relieved.

Su Wan: ???

Su Wan: Oh right, mom, Ajue said we could change Director Mu’s surname to Gu. You guys talk it over yourselves.

Su Wan: Anyway, if you need any help, just ask your daughter and son-in-law. ^_^

Lin Ranyue didn’t dare to just ask Commander Gu for anything.

But from her daughter’s words, she knew Commander Gu must care a lot about Xiaowan.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done so much for Xiaowan.

Lin Ranyue: Xiaowan, Mom loves you.

As Su Wan looked at her mother’s message, the corners of her mouth lifted. Turning her head, she saw that Commander Gu had come over.

Her lips brushed his chin.

His chin had some stubble growing, and it was quite prickly.

"What are you looking at?"

"Just messaging my mom," Su Wan put down her portable computer and wrapped her arms around Gu Jue’s neck, generously planting a kiss on his face.

"Commander Gu is so good!"

Clearly, Gu Jue enjoyed his little wife’s forward approach.

So after she kissed him, he generously returned the favor tenfold.

Su Wan refused to lose, trying hard to regain the initiative.

However, she failed repeatedly.

As a result, the spacecraft remained on the platform of Commander Gu’s residence for a very long time, a very long time...

Empire University.

The annual Mecha competition was about to start the semi-finals.

Unlike the straightforward and ruthless preliminary selection, and different from the past years’ semi-finals.

This time, the semi-finals featured age-group battles.

First and second years would team up to fight against the senior students from the third years.

"Damn! Who made this decision? How are we supposed to compete?"
