Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 252: The Child is Angrily Pouting
Little Ruanruan, dressed in a golden, fluffy princess gown, glanced at her father who was staring with a dumbfounded expression.
Then she looked at her mother, who was tenderly ’chopping’ her father to pieces with every word.
The little girl heaved a soft sigh, "Alright then."
No matter what, she had to cooperate with her mother.
Gu Zilan was suddenly in a panic, "Manya, don’t do this, I have nothing to do with it! Those people beat a retreat during the Allied Forces’ encirclement and suppression of the Star Thieves. Now, they’re afraid that Uncle would be angry, so they’re specifically sending gifts to him!"
Luo Manya: "So you knew about them sending gifts to Uncle, right? They’ve sent women to you before, they will surely do the same and send women to Uncle. You must know that too, don’t you? If you neither stop them nor give them any hints, do you really want to break up Su Wan and Uncle?"
Gu Zilan: "..."
I didn’t! I’m not!
Luo Manya leisurely placed a piece of lemon-smoked chicken onto her daughter’s plate. Little Ruanruan ate it with a frown on her face.
She said, "Don’t you understand that Su Wan is the one who got angry today. Don’t you know just how much Uncle cares about her?"
Gu Zilan breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you’re not angry, that’s good. Plus, I’ve sent those women away."
Luo Manya shook her head, "This time, I stand with Su Wan. We are both people who can’t stand sand in our eyes, so you should think of a way to make amends quickly."
Gu Zilan nodded his head dejectedly.
Primarily because the Alliance Army had a great victory this time, he was a bit too happy.
And since those people wanted to send gifts to Uncle, he thought about valuing harmony.
He didn’t want to fall out with the people from those planets at this time.
At this moment, Little Ruanruan finally finished eating. She got up, deciding to leave the entangled couple and return to her own little princess room to play with miniature Mechas.
Then, she heard her mother say gently, "Ruanruan, it’s been a long time since I told you a story. Tonight, I will stay with you, tell you a story, is that okay?"
The little girl looked at her mother, then at her father who was still staring with a dumbfounded expression.
She nodded her head, "Okay."
Then, Gu Zilan could only watch with longing eyes as his wife and daughter walked away...
**
The Commander’s mansion of the Gu family.
Past conflicts seemed to not exist at all, or rather, some things come quickly and go just as fast.
A husband and wife bear no overnight grudges.
Su Wan thought that since she had expressed her jealousy, there was no need to dwell on it further as the matter was just a reminder.
And she was very satisfied with Gu Jue’s handling of the situation.
"Ajue, play with the baby for a while, I will cook something delicious for you both."
In a good mood, Su Wan planned to cook an elaborate meal for her husband, who hadn’t been home for a long time, just as she originally intended.
Gu Jue, of course, deeply missed the delightful dishes his wife made, and he watched her leave with a warm glow in his eyes.
When Gu Jue turned around, he found his wolf-eared baby staring at him indignantly.
Little Gu Chen, with a sullen expression, seemed to be courageously angry yet not daring to speak his mind, almost saying "I’m so angry because you’re too fierce and bully other people."
With a flick of his large tail, Gu Jue sent his son rolling across the floor several times.
The little one grabbed the bedsheet to stop himself and glared at his dad!
His furry ears turned into airplane ears!
Gu Jue spoke in an even tone, "What are you glaring at? You’ve been with her this whole time."
Little guy: "..."
Is it my fault that you went off to war and couldn’t stay with your wife?
Gu Jue missed his delicate wife terribly and really didn’t want to play with the baby, even though the kid was his own flesh and blood.
"Let the White Tiger play with you."
He got up and walked out.
The White Tiger fluttered its tiny wings, and its electronic eyes took on an expression so aggrieved it seemed on the verge of tears: "Master, he keeps electrocuting me!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Gu Jue: "It’s fine, after all, it can’t kill you."
White Tiger: o(╥﹏╥)o
The White Tiger was an artificial intelligence, just a flying metal sphere with little wings as its vessel.
So, in theory, the White Tiger indeed couldn’t be electrocuted to death, at worst it would just require changing a few metal spheres.
After leaving the children’s room, Gu Jue turned and strode towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Su Wan was directing the household robots to clean and chop the ingredients she needed, setting them aside for later use.
To this day, Su Wan still didn’t know what kind of flavors Gu Jue preferred.
Mainly because no matter what dish she cooked, he would always finish it.
But Su Wan knew her husband’s wartime efforts were arduous, and he might very well have been subsisting on nutrient fluids for a while, so she tried her best to make the meal as lavish as possible.
Kung Pao chicken tender and not spicy, steamed river fish fresh with a clear soup.
Dongpo’s pork knuckle fatty without being greasy, stir-fried pork with chili fragrant and moderately spicy.
Besides, Su Wan also made a sweet and sour fish. She had always liked cooking fish, and now that she was evolving towards a mermaid, she enjoyed fish even more.
"Looking at this, does Ajue prefer meat even more?"
"As long as it’s food you make, I love it."
Su Wan was startled and turned around only to see Commander Gu lazily making his way over.
Wearing matching house clothes, they felt an even more subtle sense of intimacy as they got closer to each other.
This must be the true essence of couple outfits.
Su Wan blinked, her eyes filled with puzzlement, "Aren’t you staying with the baby?"
Gu Jue, with an air of nonchalance: "The baby decided to play on his own, thinking I should spend more time with you, after all, we’ve been apart for quite a while."
Su Wan had a strong suspicion that it was Gu Jue himself who wanted to be with her.
She sighed softly, "The two of you are beastmen of the same order and family; I think, it’s better if you spend more time together."
"No, I have already passed on to him the things concerning our order and family. For the rest, he has to strive on his own later on."
Su Wan nodded, understanding that a Super S beastman was naturally much more impressive than an ordinary beastman.
The aspect of inheritance alone was rather cool.
Su Wan: "Then you haven’t rested properly, why don’t you go back to the room and rest, and I’ll call you when the food is ready."
"I’ll keep you company," said Commander Gu, and as he spoke, fluffy wolf ears popped out on top of his head.
His large tail had already expertly wrapped around Su Wan’s ankles.
It swept across them every so often.
With a slightly coquettish look.
Su Wan’s thoughts fluttered, and as she looked up, she saw the man’s face remained cool and handsome.
As if these flirtatious little movements weren’t done by him at all.
These contrasting cues were rather cute.
Irresistible.
Su Wan felt that the atmosphere was pretty good at the moment.
Her hands remained busy preparing the dishes as she tentatively said, "Ajue, you really like the dishes I make, don’t you?"
"Yes."
"So, if someone else thinks my cooking is great and admires me a lot, would you get angry?"
Commander Gu’s expression remained unchanged, but the tips of his fluffy ears trembled slightly.
His tone remained calm, "No."
Su Wan: "What if he really enjoyed watching me cook, and spent a lot of money for it? Like, for example, he frequents the Su family restaurant."
