Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 251 Little Red Riding Hood Evening vs. The Big Bad Wolf Duke?
Su Wan’s tone was very calm, "Now that you know, what do you plan to do?"
The Commander Gu Jue’s tone was even calmer, "Throw them all out."
"Anyway, you see to it." After finishing her sentence, Su Wan cut off the communication.
White Tiger whispered at the side, "Master, it seems like the lady is upset, you should hurry home and coax her."
Commander Gu Jue’s eyes sank slightly.
At that moment, another message from Su Wan came through.
Su Wan: You attend to the important matters first, we’ll settle accounts when you’re done and we get back.
Su Wan: Also, this group that has come to present women to you says that Gu Zilan knows about this. If he is not satisfied with me as his younger aunt, he is free to speak up.
It would be possible that Gu Zilan didn’t know about this, or maybe he did, but it wasn’t his intention.
But Su Wan wanted to use this opportunity to give a reminder to this young His Majesty.
And judging by the practiced manner in which these envoys presented their gifts, they must have done this before.
The black military boots stepped on the red carpet as Commander Gu Jue returned to the conference room with a frosty expression.
The others all looked towards him.
Gu Jue: "Continue."
Li Rui nodded and continued to relay the important intelligence they had interrogated from the Star Thieves, the whereabouts of Lucifer, and the various resources and materials they had seized at the Star Thieves’ den.
They had also rescued many civilians from other planets at the Star Thieves’ lair.
It could be said that this joint operation was a very perfect one, and the outcome was happy for everyone.
For the next thirty years, their Star Domain would maintain stable peace.
Eventually, Gu Zilan said, "I will issue a joint wanted warrant with the other planets for Lucifer, listing him as an SSS-class criminal, top of the red wanted list of each planet."
He smiled at everyone, "This time, you’ve all worked hard."
His Majesty, clad in an exquisite white suit with tassels hanging from his shoulders and chest on the video, smiled as he looked over the attendees, and finally, his gaze settled on his uncle’s face.
Then, he saw that his uncle was looking at him with a frosty expression.
Gu Zilan: ???
After everyone else had left, Gu Zilan looked at his uncle who was still sitting in his original spot and walked over immediately.
"Little uncle, what’s wrong? You look unwell, has your injury not healed yet?"
Gu Zilan was genuinely worried about his uncle.
He grew up with his little uncle from a young age, his uncle was both a brother and a father figure to him.
Gu Jue looked at the concern in his nephew’s eyes; his cool gaze showed not a ripple.
Gu Jue: "Is Zilan willing to share his uncle’s worries?"
Gu Zilan: "Of course! Little uncle, just say the word, any issue, I can handle it for you."
Gu Jue: "Just wait at the Imperial Palace."
Gu Zilan: ???
Meanwhile, Gu Jue, accompanied by Deputy Li Rui, returned to his residence. Li Rui thought the commander had official duties for him, so he didn’t ask any further.
When they arrived at Commander Gu Jue’s residence, they were met with the sight of a large group of people and items at the door...
Gu Jue had White Tiger set the aircraft to fly straight into the yard, then he instructed Li Rui, "Have these people leave the gifts behind, and send those women to the Imperial Palace for Zilan."
"Yes, boss."
After dealing with that, White Tiger took the housekeeping robots to sort out the gifts.
Gu Jue stepped into the bedroom, the study.
The little wife wasn’t there.
Then, she must be in the children’s room.
Gu Jue changed out of his solemn and immaculate military uniform into soft home clothes and finally found his delicate wife in the children’s room.
And it was as if there was some telepathy, Su Wan was wearing home clothes in the same color as Gu Jue...
After all, at the time of purchase, they were bought as a couple’s set.
The orange light in the children’s room shone gently, enveloping Su Wan and the baby with wolf ears.
Su Wan was telling a story to the baby, "And then the wolf pretended to be the grandmother, wanting to eat Little Red Riding Hood. But you know, Little Red Riding Hood was very clever and saw through the big bad wolf’s tricks."
The baby with wolf ears had been listening intently to Mommy’s story just a moment ago, but then suddenly heard some noise.
The fuzzy wolf ears immediately stood upright and then swiveled to the side before finally settling on the position of the door.
Though his father hadn’t walked in yet, his powerful presence had already set off alarm bells for the baby with wolf ears!
His little hands clung tightly to Mommy’s neck.
Then he nuzzled into Mommy’s embrace, "Mommy~"
"Baby, do you know why Little Red Riding Hood could see through the big bad wolf’s scheme? It’s because the big bad wolf already had Little Red Riding Hood, but it still coveted Little Blue Hood, Little Green Hood, Little Pink Hood..."
Gu Jue couldn’t listen anymore, "Cough, cough."
Su Wan looked up, her eyes calm while her face wore a very formulaic smile, "Commander Gu, you’re off work, are you tired?"
Hearing her deliberately use such a distant tone, Commander Gu let out a soft sigh.
He walked over and reached out to scoop his petite wife into his arms, kissing her forehead.
"I had those people send the gifts to Zilan."
"They have sent them before, but I have never accepted."
"Otherwise, our entire residence wouldn’t be empty of people."
Su Wan held the baby... but because the little guy clung so tightly to her, Gu Jue ended up embracing them both in his arms.
Su Wan: "I trust you, it’s just that, I feel a bit uncomfortable inside."
Gu Jue: "Hmm, I know."
Su Wan: "Everything was sent to Gu Zilan? Including all the other gifts too? That’s a bit of a waste."
Seeing her like this, Gu Jue couldn’t help but smile slightly, "No, the gifts were all kept. I had White Tiger take them to the storeroom. You can have a look later and take out any you like to play with."
Su Wan was satisfied, narrowing her eyes curiously, "Won’t the Empress be angry with those women sending gifts to Gu Zilan?"
Gu Jue nonchalantly said, "It’s fine, even if she gets angry, she’ll take it out on Zilan."
Su Wan: "Oh."
**
Inside the Imperial Palace, Gu Zilan had also been busy all day, getting ready to change out of his white uniform to have dinner with his wife and daughter.
Then, he saw Colonel Li Rui bring a bunch of women over.
Gu Zilan frowned, "Li Rui, what are you doing?"
Li Rui: "It was the Commander who asked me to bring these women here, he said that once they were brought over, His Majesty would be informed."
Gu Zilan’s face was full of question marks.
He racked his brains and couldn’t figure out the situation.
However, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, something his uncle told him after a meeting.
That he should help share the worries... but how could he share this kind of worry! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
After Li Rui delivered the women, he paid his respects to the Emperor and Empress and then turned to leave.
At the dinner table, Luo Manya was gently fixing a small apron around her daughter Ruanruan’s neck.
Her gentle expression didn’t change one bit.
Gu Zilan felt a bit guilty, he immediately instructed his secretary, "Take this group of women back to where they came from!"
"Yes!"
Barely having a moment’s peace, Gu Zilan hadn’t yet taken a breath of relief.
He then heard his gentle Empress talking tenderly to their daughter Ruanruan.
"Ruanruan, it seems your father no longer needs us. Maybe he disdains me for giving birth to a daughter. After dinner, shall we go to grandmother’s house, okay?"
