Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 236 Fierce and Cute Baby
Su Wan listened to the milky voice and was instantly filled with surprise and delight!
Children of the Beastmen were smart and mature at an early age. Su Wan remembered that when she herself was just born, she could only blow bubbles.
Su Wan put aside all other thoughts and focused on playing with the baby, telling stories to the little one.
The wolf-eared baby kept his big eyes wide open the entire time, the corners of his mouth turned up high, seriously listening to mommy’s tales.
He even clapped his little hands from time to time, nodded his head, and made "mmm" sounds in agreement.
So supportive!
Although the room was called a child’s room, it was still spacious, easily over eighty square meters.
It was divided into a resting area, a play area, a bathing area, and a wardrobe area.
The bed in the resting area was very soft and comfortable. While Su Wan told the baby stories, leaning against a pillow with a little blanket draped over her lap.
She was supposed to lull the baby to sleep, but while she was telling the story of the wolf grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood, she ended up putting herself to sleep!
The wolf-eared baby’s eyes were still big and round like dark grapes.
In his gaze towards Su Wan, deep attachment was evident.
The little guy snuggled into Su Wan’s embrace and tightened his little tail around her ankle.
But the next moment, a much larger white wolf’s tail swung over.
It flipped the little guy and his own tail to the side!
Instantly, the wolf-eared baby began to cry out woefully; he looked up fiercely cute, only to be met with the man’s cold eyes.
The man’s wolf ears were bigger than his, his tail was fluffier, and his presence was even stronger...
Woo woo woo.
Under the overwhelming aura of the father, the baby wolf’s bristled tail slowly lowered.
In the end, he hummed discontentedly twice.
A pair of innocent big eyes filled with tears, the little guy looked pitiful with his pouted mouth.
But Gu Jue did not pay him any attention, showing no signs of softening.
He picked up his sleeping beauty of a wife into his arms and stepped out of the room.
Halfway through, however, Gu Jue turned back.
The wolf-eared baby looked at him with a mixture of grievance, anger, and a helplessness that dared not voice itself.
Gu Jue, "I need to go on a long trip. You have to protect Wanwan for me."
The wolf-eared baby’s eyes suddenly lit up!
Even though he said nothing, the bond of blood and kindred species was communicative.
Gu Jue knew what he was thinking.
He scoffed coldly, "Don’t worry, I will be back very soon. Wanwan is my wife. As for your own, find one when you’re grown up!"
"If I return to find her bullied, it will prove that you are useless, and I will throw you out immediately!"
The wolf-eared baby cried out with a "wah".
But Gu Jue had already closed the door to the nursery.
So as not to wake Wanwan with the baby’s crying.
In her sleep, Su Wan still heard some noise, her brows slightly furrowed, as though she were about to wake.
The fluffy large tail was volunteered into her hands.
Feeling the familiar softness, Su Wan’s slightly knitted brows relaxed.
In her sleep, she even hugged the tail and kissed it. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Commander Gu, "..."
The white wolf tail, its skin hidden by the dense silver fur, gradually turned pink.
However, the thought of his wife cuddling the child’s tail earlier made Gu Jue’s deep gaze grow even more profound.
A night of sound sleep.
The sky hadn’t fully brightened yet, and the modified bedroom was no longer a cold and mechanical haven.
The gentle artificial light adjusted its brightness slowly with the light outside.
When Su Wan woke up, she thought she was still in the nursery.
But as she turned, she saw the man beside her, still fast asleep.
Gu Jue wore a silver-grey home suit with its buttons done up.
Somehow, in the midst of it all, a button had come undone.
Compared to the other neatly fastened buttons, this inexplicably undone button was simply maddening to anyone with obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Beneath the silver-gray home attire, her wheat-colored skin peeked through, both hidden and revealed.
Su Wan felt this scene was somewhat heartwarming.
Yet she knew her body still needed time to recover, so the most sensible thing to do was to fasten that enticing button for him!
Su Wan thought to herself that she was truly maintaining her composure.
She reached out her small hand to fasten Gu Jue’s button.
But just as her fingertips touched the cream-white button, Gu Jue happened to open his eyes.
Su Wan, "I was going to fasten your button, the one in the middle that’s come undone!"
Gu Jue, "I know."
Su Wan, "..."
No, your expression tells me that what you know is not on the same frequency as what I’m saying!
The next moment, Gu Jue turned over, enveloping his fragile little wife in his arms.
His voice was low, as if suppressing something, "Behave, you need to take good care of yourself recently. We can talk about this later."
Su Wan’s face instantly flushed red!
She struggled to explain, "What do you mean ’all right’? I really was just going to fasten your button!"
Gu Jue, "I’m all right; it’s your body that isn’t."
Su Wan, "..."(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Great, it’s impossible to explain!!!
Just then, Gu Jue kissed her ear and whispered, "Last night we held an emergency meeting and decided to set out today to start purging the Star Thieves."
They had been in meetings all night and finally located an underground base of the Star Thieves on M783 Star.
Although the enemy had retreated, they were held back by the Interstellar Warriors of M783 Star.
There was no time to waste; people from other planets would be dispatched.
As the commander of the joint military operation against the Star Thieves, Gu Jue had to leave by the afternoon at the latest after the troops were assembled.
Su Wan was taken aback.
Her previous petty emotions had long since vanished without a trace.
She wrapped her arms around Gu Jue, "Are you just going to purge the Star Thieves on M783?"
Gu Jue, "No, we’ve also located the main lair of the Star Thieves from previous investigations. We’ll feign an attack in one place and strike in another, primarily aiming to attack Lucifer’s stronghold."
The matter of the Poisonous Insect had sounded an alarm for everyone.
At this time, since the enemy wasn’t using it on a large scale, it seemed either the technology wasn’t mature, or there were other objective reasons for the limitation.
They had to take the initiative!
Only then could they have a chance to nip the greatest danger in the bud.
This was also for the security of the Universe Alliance; therefore, leaders of other planets immediately began to take action.
If the Star Thieves were not eradicated, the safety of the citizens of their various planets couldn’t be guaranteed.
Especially M783 Star, which had produced a person like Li Zhi. The attempt to assassinate the commander’s wife had practically scared them all silly!
Luckily, it did not succeed!
Otherwise, they would have had to wait for the Federal Empire to annihilate them.
So, for this joint operation, they were the most eager!
Because only by doing so could they clearly delineate themselves from the Star Thieves and not become the common enemy of the Federation and the entire Universe Alliance!
When Su Wan heard they were going to attack the Star Thieves’ stronghold, she estimated it would take a long time.
"It’s so hard to be apart from you for so long. Also, if the Star Thieves are allied with the Insect Clan, this mission will definitely be very dangerous."
"Wanwan..."
"But, as the commander’s wife, I won’t hold you back at a time like this."
Su Wan lifted her palm-sized little face, a sweet smile with a touch of tenderness flashing across it.
She said, "Ajue, rest assured; I’ll take good care of myself and the baby, waiting for your triumphant return!"
Gu Jue’s gaze deepened, filled with emotion.
He leaned in, kissed his little wife, and then held her tightly.
