Lan Rui knew that Luo Jina’s sister was the wife of His Majesty Gu Zilan of the Federal Empire.

So she held her temper and didn’t directly lose her temper.

She said, "I’ve come to see Su Wan."

Lan Rui was not lying; she indeed had come to see Su Wan.

Luo Jina looked at her friendly demeanor, even holding a gift in her hand, blinked, and turned to Su Wan.

Su Wan spoke calmly, "We have no acquaintance or relation, Princess Your Highness, no need for such formalities."

Lan Rui, "Who says we have no relation? I’m currently dating Su Yun, and although we’re not married yet, I might become your future sister-in-law. By then, we’ll be family."

Su Wan, "Who told you that Su Yun is my brother?"

Lan Rui was confused for a moment, "You share the same father and mother, how is he not your brother?"

Su Wan snorted with laughter, "Little princess, who told you that sharing parents makes you true siblings? Your relationship with Lan Ruojin isn’t that great either, right? Anyway, you should ask Su Yun about it yourself."

Su Wan sensed Su Yun’s scent on Lan Rui.

If nothing unexpected had occurred, Lan Rui must have helped Su Yun through his Manic-Depressive Period.

Tsk, the little princess still wants to take advantage of Su Yun, not even caring about the Manic-Depressive Period, after all, people from Mermaid Planet are all so romantic and passionate.

But what about Su Yun?

He’s probably all set to become Mermaid Planet’s bridegroom already.

After Su Wan finished speaking, she turned away with Luo Jina and headed for the school library.

Lan Rui stood there stunned, glanced at her own shadow on the ground, and hurriedly sent a message to Su Yun.

Lan Rui: Su Yun, where are you?

Su Yun: I’m at the Mecha Research Institute, working. Xiaorui, are you missing me?

Lan Rui: Have you and Su Wan always had a bad relationship?

Su Yun: Siblings inevitably have some little conflicts, you have a brother yourself, you must understand.

Lan Rui: So, your relationship with Su Wan, is it like me with my older brother, or like me with Lan Ruojin?

Su Yun frowned slightly as he looked at the message on his optical brain.

He immediately covered the optical brain with his sleeve and turned, walking into the Mecha Laboratory equipped with signal shielding.

This was a question he did not want to answer.

Lan Rui waited on the other side, left and right, but no message from Su Yun came, and she was instantly furious!

But as she lifted her head, she suddenly realized something.

Relying on Su Yun to get close to Su Wan seemed to be an unworkable approach!

**

A starship bearing the insignia of the Federal Empire was flying through the vast universe.

The boundless starry sea combined with the mottled rays made it both beautiful and dangerous.

As the distance to the Lucifer Star Thief’s lair drew closer, the interstellar warriors of the First Starship Fleet began checking their Mecha weapons, and optical brain signals, etc.

The highest Commander Gu Jue sat on a sofa chair and said to his nephew Gu Zilan on the screen before him, "Shut down the ports temporarily during this period to avoid troublemakers at this time."

Gu Zilan, "Yes, I’ve also intensified patrols, and diplomatic activities have been suspended as well. Uncle, you should also be extra cautious. Lucifer is full of tricks, the Star Thieves might join forces with the Insect Clan again, and there may also be collaborators on other planets."

"Mhm. Take good care of Wanwan."

"Of course!"

Gu Zilan, with his keen eyes, spotted a beautiful food box beside his uncle.

He asked, "Uncle, what’s that?"

Gu Jue’s eyes softened as he looked at the mermaid biscuits in the little box, his usually cool gaze filling with tenderness.

"These are biscuits Wanwan made for me," he paused before adding, "They’re especially delicious."

Gu Zilan, "..."

After ending this projection call, Gu Zilan rubbed his face with a hint of melancholy.

His own uncle had been flaunting his romance for so long.

Why hadn’t he gotten used to it yet?

On this side, Commander Gu picked up a small biscuit and placed it in his mouth.

It was a biscuit with a milky flavor, reminiscent of his delicate wife’s scent after she had bathed.

Gu Jue closed his eyes and meticulously finished the biscuit, the size of a finger.

He thought he had better finish off the Star Thieves’ den soon!

After that, he could hurry home to accompany Wanwan!

At that moment, Li Rui suddenly entered to report, "Report, Commander, the radar up front has detected an unidentified fast-moving spacecraft!"

Gu Jue looked up at the previous star map, his tone as cold as frost, "It’s the Star Thieves’ patrol ship. Have Eric lead the team to capture them all, without exception."

"Yes!"

The war had finally begun!

Meanwhile, spaceships intending to land on the main star were all stopped.

The crowd was baffled, "Why can’t we dock? Our goods must be transported to the restaurant quickly!"

"Exactly! Our relatives are from the Federal Empire, we’ve been here many times before, why can’t we land this time?"

The Port Guard Officer was unhurried, thoroughly scanning each person’s information.

Only citizens of the Federal Empire’s First Star District were allowed to land on the main star.

All others were advised to return.

No goods were allowed to land.

Su Wan’s family restaurant had already stockpiled a large supply of fresh fruits and vegetables, so in the short term, it would not be affected.

But other restaurants were greatly affected.

Among those severely impacted was the Huo Family, whose business had just started to pick up.

Huo Yichang had gotten married and his bride was the daughter of the biggest farm owner in the Second Star District. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Thus, the Huo Family now had a very stable supply of goods.

But the crux was that now, with the spaceships at the port denied entry, the grains and vegetables would rot away on the ships.

In the end, the Huo Family pushed Huo Yichang forward, asking him to contact Su Wan to appeal for their goods to be let through the blockade.

Huo Yichang frowned, "Xiaowan probably won’t be willing to help me with this."

Huo Father replied, "If you had kept up with the wedding, how would she have had the chance to marry Commander Gu? Now that you are both married, there’s still the old affection of growing up together. Just ask her for a small favor."

"Yichang, the volume of this batch of goods is tremendous, and since others can’t get their goods in while ours can, we could make back half of last year’s losses in one go!"

They could set exorbitant prices then!

Huo Yichang was still hesitant.

He actually knew how indifferent Su Wan was towards him.

Still, even so, Huo Yichang found himself missing her.

Even on his wedding night, as he embraced his wife, the person who occupied his thoughts was Su Wan.

During this time, from what others said, he learned all news regarding Su Wan.

He would occasionally encounter her in school.

But Huo Yichang felt that Su Wan was drifting further and further away from him—to the point where she wouldn’t even give him an additional glance.

He regretted it.

Huo Yichang was constantly regretting, thinking that if only he hadn’t been soft-hearted on his wedding day to save Su Man.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the Super Beastman baby born to Su Wan be his child now?

At this point, Huo Father said, "Su Wan is the manager of the Su Family restaurant, she’s also a businesswoman. You can tell her that we are willing to give her a cut, or even prioritize supplying a portion of the goods to the Su Family restaurant, only hoping that she would help us with this favor."

"It’s a mutually beneficial favor."

Hearing this, Huo Yichang suddenly realized that this was a normal business negotiation.

In both affection and reason, Su Wan had no grounds to ignore him.

At last, he could rightfully contact her.

Huo Yichang’s eyes shone, "Alright, I’ll give it a try!"
