Gu Jue actually had a pretty good guess about what his delicate wife was about to say.

He said, "Apart from going to the Su Family restaurant for a meal, I mean, aside from spending money to that extent, did he say anything else? Something further, perhaps?"

Su Wan quickly shook her head, "No, there’s none of that. For now, it’s just some Star Coins that were spent."

"Hmm, then you don’t have to feel any burden. If he crosses the line... I mean, if any other man does something over the line and makes you uncomfortable, just hand it over to me."

Gu Jue leaned over, wrapped his arms around his delicate wife’s waist, and rested his face near her ear, "I’ll help you chop vegetables."

Su Wan had been chopping potatoes, but with Gu Jue wrapping her up like that, her whole body fell into his embrace.

Her heart was beating fast; she pursed the corners of her mouth, "Ajue, at this rate, our dinner tonight... is probably going to be very late."

"No problem, after we eat, I’ll accompany you for some exercise."

Gu Jue took the kitchen knife and started helping Su Wan chop vegetables.

His fingers were long and beautiful; Su Wan was afraid he might cut himself, so she dared not move.

She felt her voice tremble a bit, "What kind of exercise?"

Commander Gu’s slender fingers paused slightly, "That thing you talked about last time."

Su Wan’s face instantly flushed red!

She immediately guessed what Gu Jue was referring to... No, no, maybe she was overthinking it!

"What thing?"

"Helping you through your Manic-Depressive Period."

"..."

There was a snap, and Su Wan felt the string in her brain suddenly snap!

It was as if a fire was starting from within, wanting to burn its way out!

At that very moment, Commander Gu’s cold lips gently kissed Su Wan’s burning cheek.

He said, "Wanwan, between husband and wife, there should be mutual assistance, a give and take."

Su Wan: "..."

So much for give and take!

This was the first time she had heard someone describe getting through the Manic-Depressive Period in such a refined and elegant way!

Without a word, she reached out and covered Commander Gu’s mouth.

"Sorry, although I have gone through the Manic-Depressive Period, I can’t just summon it whenever I like you do. Also, it only happens once a year, thank you."

"No worries, I can wait. Or, I’ll look into it later, to see if my method would work for you."

Su Wan was utterly speechless. She sighed, "Let’s forget it, I’ll just cook."

To prevent this guy from affecting her cooking, Su Wan directed him to chop meat, and with Commander Gu’s help, dinner was finally ready before nine o’clock.

After dinner, Su Wan went to wash off the scent of grease, and when Commander Gu returned to the bedroom, he found what seemed like a round ball on the bed.

This ball also had a pair of fuzzy wolf ears.

The little one had already become fully capable of Beast Transformation, and the whole cub looked like an unweaned little wolf dog.

There was even a faint trace of a lightning mark on its forehead.

During the time Gu Jue was away at war, the baby had been sleeping here with mommy.

So today, he habitually took the spot first.

Then...

The cub was picked up by its own dad by the neck, taken out of the bedroom, and thrown onto the big round bed in the adjacent children’s room.

The little one immediately started howling at his own dad, its tail fur all bristled up!

Gu Jue spoke in an indifferent tone, "You don’t have to be unconvinced; you’ll have a chance when you’re stronger than me."

The wolf-eared baby’s ears drooped immediately.

He definitely couldn’t surpass his father in the short term!

Gu Jue looked at the disheartened little wolf cub, feeling he might have been too stern as a father.

He softened his tone a bit.

Gu Jue, "But it’s not like there’s no chance. When I’m over two hundred years old, I probably won’t be as powerful as you."

Wolf-eared cub: "..."

Having educated the baby to his satisfaction, Gu Jue returned to the master bedroom, just in time to see Su Wan coming out of the bathroom.

Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and because she had just taken a bath, she appeared somewhat soft and mushy.

Commander Gu, already missing his wife terribly, couldn’t take his eyes off her delicate appearance.

His Adam’s apple moved up and down.

"Wanwan, come here," he patted the spot next to him, "Your hair isn’t dry, let me blow-dry it for you."

Su Wan almost believed him as he said this with a deadpan expression.

If it weren’t for the sight of that fluffy, swinging tail.

Su Wan: "Before going to bed, I need to check on Xiaochen."

Gu Jue: "I’ve already checked on him. I even chatted with him for a while just now. The kid is very talented, he will surely surpass me one day."

Su Wan was delighted to hear this, she really hoped to see more bonding time between father and son.

Approaching Gu Jue, she said cheerfully, "Ajue, let me show you my tail!"

It was like a little girl showing off her new beautiful dress to someone she liked.

Excitement filled Su Wan’s voice.

Indeed, during this period, Su Wan’s evolution had made another leap forward.

This time, it was not as simple as just having scales on her ankles because her legs could now transform into a tail... a glittering, golden fishtail!

Gu Jue’s long, slightly cool fingers traced over those beautiful scales, and Su Wan instinctively shrank back a bit.

Gu Jue: "What’s wrong?"

Su Wan: "It tickles."

What she didn’t mention was that, aside from being ticklish, there were also some other sensations.

The next moment, Gu Jue leaned forward and kissed her fishtail...

Su Wan: !!!!!!!!!!!

...

Su Wan’s Manic-Depressive Period had arrived.

This was her first time experiencing the Manic-Depressive Period after evolving into a mermaid.

Somehow, she felt quite dizzy throughout the process.

She could only watch helplessly as she became extremely clingy... but what Su Wan recalled was the first time she met Gu Jue.

He sweetly called her "sister."

Although there was an exclusive medicine for mermaids at home, why need that when her beloved commander was here? He was her exclusive medicine!

After this Manic-Depressive Period, Su Wan finally completed her transformation into a mermaid.

When she soaked in the ten-square-foot bathtub, she occasionally flipped her tail to take a look.

Then she’d flick it a couple of times.

The biggest advantage of becoming a mermaid was... from now on, she could definitely swim faster!

**

The great battle had just ended, so many people had received long vacations, making the military department appear somewhat quiet.

Gu Zilan felt a bit apprehensive when he arrived.

His black boots echoed clangorously on the reinforced floor.

It seemed to echo the beating of Gu Zilan’s own heart.

Despite feeling insecure, Gu Zilan was determined about one thing: he and his uncle must not allow any rift between them, no matter what.

The princes from the branches of the Gu Family might seem obedient normally, but as the Empire grew stronger, they also became restless to claim the throne.

Not to mention the forces from other planets.

If it weren’t for his uncle, the War God here, Gu Zilan’s position as prince might not be so secure.

Therefore, he must repair his relationship with his uncle.

Gu Zilan took a deep breath, knocked, and entered his uncle’s office. Before speaking, he cautiously gauged his uncle’s mood.

He needed to see how his uncle was feeling today!

No, no, no, he should let the AI, Aiwei, first measure the temperature in the room, to see if it’s below average!
