Although they had been married for a long time.

Gu Jue found that his little wife sometimes still had a thin skin, especially prone to shyness.

He didn’t know what she was thinking about now, but her fair cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue.

She looked utterly appetizing.

However, Gu Jue knew that he couldn’t tease her too much, as his little wife could become shy and angry.

He got back to the point, "Zilan told me that he found Ruanruan isn’t very keen on politics and management; she prefers fighting. After much thought, he decided to let Xiaochen and Ruanruan learn and cultivate together as the Crown Prince."

"When the children grow up, whoever is more suitable for the throne will take it."

Su Wan was so shocked she couldn’t recover. Her beautiful eyes widened, "Wait, I mean, is this how the Gu Family treats succession to the throne, like child’s play? Shouldn’t it, logically speaking, be about striving and competing?"

Gu Jue shook his head, "That’s not how Zilan operates with outsiders, including the princes from the Gu Family branches."

Gu Zilan - a typical smiling tiger, oh no, a typical smiling lion.

He usually looks very refined, but when he needs to be fierce, he doesn’t hold back at all.

Su Wan seemed to understand a bit, "Do you mean, if Ruanruan isn’t suitable for the throne in the future, then if our Xiaochen takes the throne, Zilan would be most relieved?"

Gu Jue nodded, "Actually, my elder brother wanted to pass the throne to me, but I didn’t want it."

Su Wan: "..."

Although it sounded even more childlike and a bit Versailles.

But Su Wan understood that the relationship between Gu Jue and Gu Zilan’s father, the two brothers, was profound.

Regardless of who became the emperor, the other would be absolutely loyal and would never betray the other.

Similarly, the person sitting on the imperial throne would always trust the other person.

This was also the reason for the Empire’s many years of peace and stability.

Gu Zilan was in charge of the internal affairs, managing political matters, while Gu Jue was stationed abroad, leading the First Starship Fleet, eliminating any unstable factors.

Su Wan understood, but still hesitated a bit.

"But Xiaochen is still so young, he’s just a baby! What’s more, what if Xiaochen doesn’t want to ascend to the throne in the future?"

"Then he won’t ascend. Don’t worry, we definitely won’t make life difficult for the child on this issue," he reassured, bringing his petite wife into his embrace and kissed her forehead, "And rest assured, he’s still young now. As a Crown Prince in training, all of that will not start until he is at least three years old."

Su Wan: "..."

Three years old isn’t very old at all, you know!

In the end, Su Wan insisted that they wait until Xiaochen turned three years old and let him decide for himself.

Beastmen matured early, and since Xiaochen was naturally a Super Beastman, he would definitely be sensible at an even earlier age. He had the right to make decisions for his own life.

Not to mention, what if by that time, Gu Ruanruan decided she wanted the throne after all? Initially, Su Wan didn’t really want her son to be involved in this matter.

Gu Jue fully supported his wife’s decision.

But he felt a hint of regret in his heart, having to put up with that little brat for over two more years. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Besides, Gu Jue also mentioned to Su Wan that Gu Zilan had gifted her a universe spaceship.

Su Wan was unimpressed by this; her family already had several.

Meanwhile, hiding by the door, Little Gu Chen, having overheard the entire conversation between his parents, turned around and silently crawled back to his nursery.

Starting tomorrow, he didn’t want to grow up anymore... QAQ

**

Empire University was about to face another round of cultural exams.

Because Su Wan had been very busy over the past half-year, taking time off to even have a child, her academics naturally couldn’t match those students who had been studying diligently all along.

However, she had two very reliable partners.

Sheng An had organized his medical elective course notes and given them to Su Wan.

Lin Yu had also organized the cultural course notes from the military academy and handed them to Su Wan.

Su Wan, "Thank you guys so much! I’ll make some stuffed pancakes for you later!"

Having a friend who was really good at cooking was a very happy thing.

The corners of Sheng An’s mouth lifted, "Sounds good."

Lin Yu also nodded with his eyes warm and gentle.

Actually, his chances of tasting food personally made by Su Wan were not many.

At least, much fewer than Sheng An’s.

Luo Jina, who was nearby, joined in and said, "Count me in too! Xiaowan, even though I didn’t help with your notes, but... I can cheer you on!"

Su Wan’s lips twitched, "Alright then, since I’m already making the dough, I might as well make some extra."

Luo Jina chuckled, "Make some extra, my Alex really likes them too."

Luo Jina and Alex were both straightforward and lively people.

After they got married, although they sometimes argued... mainly because Luo Jina was too spoiled, Alex would always let Luo Jina win at the end of every argument.

No matter whether he was in the right or not.

Others had once asked Alex how he could put up with Luo Jina’s princess temper.

Alex, however, would just smile and say, "Although she has a bad temper, she’s adorable!"

How thick the filter between lovers really is, there was no way to verify.

But Su Wan believed that maybe it was Luo Jina and Alex that people meant when they spoke of a ’match made in heaven.’

They might not be better than others, but to each other, they were irreplaceable.

Luo Jina, who never had to worry about anything, suddenly said with great excitement, "Xiaowan, Xiao’an, after the exams, let’s go watch a movie!"

In the Interstellar Era, movie theaters naturally still existed.

Only, compared to ordinary movies, 3D movies, IMAX, and such, there were many more options available.

The most popular among all was the 7D cinema.

This ’dimension’ was not categorized the same way as three or four dimensions; to be exact, ’immersive’ was the most accurate description.

Those who liked adventure would choose to watch 7D horror adventure or exploration movies.

It would feel as though they were completely immersed in it.

Then there were romantic love stories, which usually attracted couples and spouses to watch together.

The ticket that Luo Jina had got was for the former type.

"It’s a very old theme, rumored to be a setting from the Ancient Earth culture, especially awesome, you guys should check out the information first."

Luo Jina had already watched a romance movie with Alex, so of course, she wanted to watch this adventure and exploration movie with her friends.

Su Wan originally wasn’t interested in watching movies; her time every day was precious. After her studies, she would have to spend even more time with Ajue, with Xiaochen.

And she also needed to find time to do livestreaming for Food God, as well as handle the Su Family’s restaurant business.

However, as Su Wan clicked open the introduction to the movie, she saw elements she had encountered only when she traveled to Ancient Earth.

Tomb excavation!

Over there, Sheng An had also shown some interest and said, "I’m okay with it."

Then both she and Luo Jina turned their gazes towards Su Wan.

Su Wan, after staring at the introduction for quite a while, raised her head to look at the two pairs of expectant eyes and finally pursed her lips and said, "It does look interesting, so after the exams, let’s go see it."

"Great!"

The friends turned around to prepare for their exams, while Su Wan’s gaze fell once more upon the movie introduction.

Could it be that, in this world, there were people just like her who had also been to Ancient Earth?
