Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 225: Could the Younger Brother or Sister Be a Serpent Creature?
The clinking of glasses in the hall abruptly came to a halt.
Many were astonished at this scene.
Dressed in a white gown, Lan Rui sat on the floor in a state of disarray, her deep blue mermaid tail angrily slapping the floor.
As always, Pandora held her chin high with an air of fearlessness.
It seemed that even if you asked her to PK with a Mecha, she would dare to take on the challenge.
No one around dared to offend either party and could only try to comfort them.
It was only then that the ball was able to continue.
Su Xiaoge immediately broadcast this scene live to Su Wan.
Standing a little further away, he whispered, "Don’t know what that fish said to tick off Pandora."
Everyone in their circle knew about Pandora’s temper.
Who would dare to provoke this girl?
For example, Su Xiaoge, though his combat power was higher than Pandora’s, he had no desire to confront this miss!
Su Wan, watching the drama through the camera, could tell that Pandora was quite unhappy; she turned around and left, refusing to stay a moment longer.
As for Lan Rui... Su Wan saw in the live feed that Su Yun seemed to be walking toward Lan Rui.
She narrowed her eyes.
Su Yun still intended to take advantage of the situation; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to attend the matchmaking event.
But his target was Lan Rui?
This was unexpected to Su Wan.
However, even if Su Yun was interested, Lan Rui would not think highly of him.
After all, several bachelors at the ball were very interested in Lan Rui.
But they were all rejected by her.
Including the young people from the Gu Family branches.
Su Wan ended the call with Su Xiaoge and contacted her mother’s light-brain to ask what she was doing.
Lady Lin Ranyue was quite agitated, "What could I be doing? Obviously sunbathing at home, growing mushrooms! I wanted to go play at the off-world farms with your grandmother and grandfather, but that bastard Gu Lei actually wouldn’t allow me to go!"
When she liked him, she called him Xiaolei, and when angry, she used his full name.
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
"Mom, that’s because Director Gu is concerned about your safety. After all, there have been sightings of the Insect Clan at the farms."
Lin Ranyue: "Although I know he’s worried about me, I’m still so bored."
Su Wan: "Isn’t that why I’m here to chat with you, to keep you entertained? Mom, if Su Yun gets married in the future, will you care about what kind of wife he takes?"
Lin Ranyue: "I don’t want to care anymore. I talked to him once before, hoping he would live life seriously and sincerely instead of always thinking about shortcuts. But he said, what’s wrong with trying to improve himself and become better?"
"At that moment, I felt that we no longer had anything in common."
"So, whatever wife he finds in the future, if I don’t like her, then it’s better to have less contact with them."
Lin Ranyue knew she had not been the best mother.
But indeed, Xiaoyun’s way of thinking had become too different from hers.
As his mother, she wanted to try hard to change, but to no effect.
Lin Ranyue sighed: "As for Xiaoyun, I don’t know what will become of him in the future. I’m not worried about Xiaoni, though; he may be somewhat slow, but Cecilia is a smart girl."
Su Wan: "Honestly, I’ve always felt that Su Ni is not good enough for Cecilia."
Lin Ranyue: "I feel the same way. But with matters of the heart, there’s no right or wrong match, only what’s right for them."
Su Wan agreed with this.
The mother and daughter then chatted about their health for a while. Su Wan looked up and saw the empty brocade box on the table.
She said, "Mom, who on grandfather’s side of the family is from the Mermaid Clan?"
Lin Ranyue: "It seems it’s your great-grandmother from your grandfather’s side? I’m not too clear on the details. But over the years, many people from off-world planets have come to settle in the Federal Empire, including many from the Mermaid Planet."
Su Wan: "Yeah, our school’s anatomy teacher is from the Mermaid Planet, too."
Lin Ranyue: "Right, among my friends, there’s even someone with the genetic traits of a Blood-Drinking Beast. Oh yeah, I had a thorough check-up at Ouyang Qing’s yesterday, and she said the baby in my belly is very likely to be a Beastman."
Lin Ranyue’s tone was relaxed and cheerful.
Because if the baby were a Beastman, that would mean its body would be healthier.
Nothing could make a mother happier than the health of her baby.
However, Lin Ranyue said solemnly, "But I’ve already talked to Xiaolei, no matter what, we are not sending the child to the Beastman Base. I want to be with him as he grows up."
Having talked for quite a while, Lin Ranyue realized that her daughter, on the other end of the communication, hadn’t said a word.
She was curious, "Xiaowan, what’s wrong?"
Su Wan took a deep breath, then tentatively said, "Mom, the sister or brother in your belly, if they turn out to be a Beastman, could they possibly, maybe, be a snake-form Beastman?"
Lin Ranyue: "Most likely."
Su Wan: "..."
She really admired her mom’s level of acceptance.
Unlike her, who only liked the furry ones.
Thank heavens Ajue was furry!
After chatting with her mother a bit more, Su Wan ended the communication.
Realizing that she hadn’t live-streamed for quite a while, and taking advantage of Gu Jue still being busy at the military department, Su Wan decided to do a live stream.
Otherwise, in a couple of days when she gave birth, she would have to go for a good while without live-streaming again.
Vermilion Bird was about to speak, but Su Wan preempted, "Don’t stop me, you can’t. You just wait for Ajue to come back and report to him."
Vermilion Bird: "Then, Master, just don’t live-stream for too long, your back will get sore."
Su Wan patted her back, feeling no issue, "No, today I want to make more dishes. I’m going to prepare a whole fish feast!"
Vermilion Bird: "..."
It seemed like their master was becoming more and more willful.
But Su Wan wasn’t being willful; she was really annoyed with Lan Rui.
She couldn’t do anything to her yet.
But preparing a whole fish feast, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?
After that incident with Xiaosu last time, it made a lot of netizens start paying more attention to food live streamers.
Especially those who could prepare the mouth-watering delicacies of Ancient Earth.
The fan base of the Food God had grown significantly.
As soon as the live stream started, fans flocked into the room.
"Food God, you live stream so infrequently, I’ve lost weight!"
"I’ve recorded Food God’s live streams, and when my appetite is poor, I just play them on repeat."
"Food God, there’s a food competition on the streaming platform. Are you participating?"
This comment stopped Su Wan for a moment.
She opened her private inbox and indeed saw an invitation from the live-streaming platform’s administrator. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The food competition was scheduled for next weekend.
Checking the date, Su Wan figured she wouldn’t be able to take part.
She told her fans, "I probably won’t be able to participate in this food competition."
"Food God, why won’t you participate? We really want to see you there," one fan lamented.
"Exactly, no matter how busy, just find some time, please," another implored.
Su Wan couldn’t help laughing and crying at the same time.
Giving birth was something she really couldn’t just find the time for!
