Chapter 237: Chapter 237 She’s Been Displeased with This Fish for a Long Time

Su Wan actually couldn’t bear to be separated from Gu Jue for such a long period.

As their love for each other grew deeper and deeper,

she truly wished she could stick to the Commander at every moment!

But Su Wan also knew that the husband she deeply loved was also the esteemed Commander of the Federal Empire.

He was a hero, a War God.

Su Wan was proud of him.

Before Gu Jue set off, he had made all sorts of arrangements.

That included asking Gu Qingyu to help keep an eye on Su Wan’s Mermaid evolution.

However, this matter was to be kept secret from the outside world for the time being.

And about the child, Gu Jue was worried that Su Wan would get overtired, given that she still had to attend school, so he suggested sending the child to the Beastman Nurturing Base. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

But Su Wan firmly refused.

She knew that Gu Jue would be away from the main planet for a long time, probably spending most of his time on a starship, so she took the time to hurriedly make many mermaid-shaped cookies for Gu Jue to take with him.

Golden mermaids.

Gu Jue, looking at the mermaid-shaped cookies, had a profound look in his eyes. He almost lost control and let his Manic-Depressive Period erupt.

The day after Gu Jue left the main planet, Su Yun and Lan Rui, the two of them, showed up at her door.

Su Yun had originally wanted to bring Su Ni along with him.

Once that plan failed, he started to turn his attention to his mother, Lin Ranyue.

Lin Ranyue didn’t know that Su Yun was going to take someone with him, or who he would take.

She just thought that this child was the type to not visit without an important reason, and he hadn’t been close to Xiaowan in the past.

This sudden eagerness surely meant no good intentions!

So Lin Ranyue decisively used the excuse of not feeling well to refuse.

She was suffering from morning sickness; her body felt unwell every day.

If Su Yun didn’t believe her, she could vomit in front of him in a minute!

Unable to find a way through either path, Su Yun didn’t want to miss this opportunity to get close to Lan Rui.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and directly took Lan Rui to visit.

Su Yun was unaware of Lan Rui’s former aspiration to marry Gu Jue.

And Lan Rui didn’t know how poor the relationship was between the siblings, Su Yun and Su Wan.

A comedy of errors, asymmetry of information.

As a result, the two of them arrived at the door of the Commander’s residence, standing for a long time without entering.

Lan Rui’s complexion gradually darkened.

Su Yun feigned composure, "Xiaowan might not be at home. Wait a moment, I’ll call her."

Lan Rui nodded and then walked to the side.

She didn’t want Su Wan to notice her so soon.

Su Yun thought the other party was considerate and was even more satisfied with Lan Rui.

He moved to the side and tried to call Su Wan’s number.

He had no choice; Su Wan had previously blocked him.

In fact, Su Wan was at home at the moment, playing with the baby.

Having recovered quite a bit, she was planning to go to school tomorrow.

Watching the scene at the mansion’s main gate relayed by Vermilion Bird, the two of them coming together,

she lifted the corner of her mouth and shook her head, tsks tsking.

"Lan Rui really isn’t picky at all, actually choosing Su Yun? No, looking at them, they don’t seem that close."

Su Wan understood.

It seemed Lan Rui planned to use Su Yun to get into the Commander’s residence and then give her trouble up close?

Or perhaps for some other purpose?

Either way, it was not going to be anything good.

As for Su Yun’s thoughts on Lan Rui, they were even simpler: opportunistically seeking influence.

Su Wan: "She’s really foolish, going to Su Yun for help. She might as well have gone to Su Xiaoge."

No matter what, Su Wan wouldn’t turn Su Xiaoge away from her door, but she would do so to Su Yun.

Vermilion Bird analyzed: "Su Xiaoge is obsessed with mechas, and he would not be interested in Lan Rui. As for Su Yun, who is obsessed with power, Lan Rui fits his criteria very well."

Su Wan: "Look, even an artificial intelligence like you can figure things out, but some people just can’t see it clearly."

Vermilion Bird: "Master, my level of intelligence is very high, much higher than many ordinary humans."

Su Wan: "For example?"

Vermilion Bird: "Your second older blood brother Su Ni, Master."

Su Wan almost laughed out loud.

Setting everything else aside, Su Ni had even become the subject of disdain by an artificial intelligence, which was truly pitiable.

Only Sister Cecilia didn’t mind him.

Regardless, Su Yun and Lan Rui ultimately could not enter the front door of Su Wan’s house.

Both of their faces looked worse than the other’s as they returned by flying vehicle.

Su Yun hated Su Wan, who didn’t give him any face at all!

Lan Rui hated Su Wan, thinking she was way out of line for not giving her even the slightest chance.

What was her fault?

They just shared the same taste as Su Wan, both adoring Commander Gu, that’s all!

Perhaps because she was a bit too emotional, Lan Rui’s mermaid pheromones started to leak out. By the time she came to her senses, she was in Su Yun’s embrace!

Su Yun was very excited, seemingly trying hard to control himself!

"Sorry Xiaorui, my Manic-Depressive Period is here, and I haven’t brought my exclusive medicine. Please help me..."

After he finished speaking, he kissed her.

...

While the interstellar united forces were out clearing up the Star Thieves, people living on various planets continued with their lives as usual.

Su Wan also returned to her normal study life and the management work of the Su Family restaurant.

And then there was the weekly Food God live stream.

After getting some traditional Chinese herbs from the Mu Family, Su Wan used special techniques to revive the living cells and had successfully grown some seedlings.

Though the medicinal properties were greatly reduced under such technological intervention, Su Wan didn’t mind.

She wasn’t using them for medicine but for medicinal cuisine.

When those seedlings grew up, Su Wan had people transplant the herb seedlings to her grandfather’s farm.

Meanwhile, the First Star District’s branch of the Su Family restaurant began to officially offer various medicinal cuisines.

Soon, demand exceeded supply.

Luo Jina made a point of approaching Su Wan: "Xiaowan, my sister wants the Su Family restaurant to provide that beautifying and nourishing medicinal porridge on a regular basis. Is that okay?"

Su Wan: "Is the Empress planning to advertise for our family restaurant?"

Luo Jina: "What’s with this ’your family’, ’their family’? We’re all one family! Besides, the Su Family restaurant’s food doesn’t need any advertising at all; it’s completely in high demand!"

Su Wan nodded with a smile, "Then all right, I’ll have the restaurant’s people arrange it and regularly deliver to the Imperial Palace."

Speaking of the Imperial Palace, Su Wan realized it had been a long time since she last contacted Mr. G.

However, he had previously helped them out a lot simply because he liked gourmet food. Since he hadn’t expressed any expectations, it wasn’t right for Su Wan to probe too deeply.

Of course, if he needed help in the future,

as long as it didn’t violate her own principles and was something she could do, Su Wan was still willing to help, to repay the kindness he had shown her.

Su Wan wasn’t comfortable owing someone a debt of gratitude.

While the two were conversing, Lan Rui in a modified Empire University uniform approached.

Her long blue hair, with its slight curl, looked like shimmering damask fabric and was quite beautiful.

Su Wan looked at her long blue hair, feeling her thoughts drifting off.

Lan Rui had a blue fish tail, and her hair was blue too.

If she had a tail, it would be golden, but her hair was black, wasn’t it?

People often say, "One is dazed for three years after pregnancy."

But for Su Wan, her memory didn’t deteriorate after having a baby.

It was just that her thoughts tended to stray easily.

However, with Lan Rui’s arrival, Luo Jina’s entire demeanor went on the alert, and her head of red curls looked as if they were about to explode!

She has been irked by this fish for a long time!

Luo Jina: "What are you doing here?"
