After Su Wan and the others had left, Lan Rui collapsed onto the ground, her back drenched in cold sweat.

For a moment just now, she had felt an overwhelmingly strong level of power suppression, nearly causing her to lose control and reveal her fish tail!

"It must be because I’ve become weaker after getting pregnant..."

Lan Rui stretched out her hand, gritting her teeth as she pressed against her abdomen.

She needed to return to the Mermaid Planet; only then could she take care of this child.

Thinking about the hardships she would have to endure, Lan Rui cast a sinister glance in the direction Su Wan had left.

"Su Wan, I hate you!"

"Gu Jue won’t love you forever!"

Even though Su Wan had walked far away, the hearing of a Beastman was very sharp; she heard Lan Rui’s curses loud and clear.

A sneer curled at the corners of her mouth.

Only the powerless curse others.

Because truly capable people, powerful people, scorn wordy confrontations, preferring to resolve everything with concrete actions instead.

Having made plans with friends to see a movie tomorrow, Su Wan boarded the aircraft and returned to the Commander’s residence.

It was quite rare today; Gu Jue was actually taking a day off at home.

The war to clear out the Star Thieves wasn’t easily won; after all, they were all outlaws, desperadoes.

So, Gu Zilan specially granted the First Starship Fleet a long vacation to reward them.

If it had been a regular day, Gu Jue would have simply ignored the vacation, spending most of his time at the military headquarters as usual.

But this time... like his colleagues, he too had chosen to rest at home.

When Su Wan returned from school, Gu Jue was sitting in the study.

Frowning at the two masks placed on the desk.

These were a pair of couple’s masks that Gu Jue had commissioned Teacher Andrew to make after he had seen Su Wan wearing a mask during the food competition.

But now the problem was, he didn’t know how to give these masks to his delicate wife.

The White Tiger offered a suggestion beside him, "Master, you could directly give them to the lady, after all, the masks are a pair. Madam is very smart; she’ll understand your intention right away."

Gu Jue looked up coolly, "Will she suspect that I know she’s the Food God?"

Suddenly giving a mask for no good reason... besides, even if Su Wan doesn’t know that he knows, she wouldn’t wear this mask while livestreaming.

Gu Jue’s covert desire to wear couple’s masks with his wife seemed to vanish.

The White Tiger, tugging on its electronic whiskers, lamented, "But master, whether or not madam knows that you know, once she wears this mask and livestreams as the Food God, it means that the disguise of madam as the Food God will be completely blown!"

Although a bit of a tongue twister, the meaning wasn’t hard to understand.

It’s just a matter of who drops the guise, or if both were to drop it together.

Originally, Mr. Leng could have been sent to deliver the mask to Su Wan.

But, Gu Jue really didn’t want to go any further down the path of green-hatting himself.

Most importantly, Su Wan had already outright rejected Mr. Leng’s overtures.

And besides, he also wanted to wear couple’s masks with his delicate wife.

It seemed like the problem had come full circle, ending up right where it started.

As Su Wan pushed open the door, her eyes immediately fell upon the scene before her, and swiftly, her gaze landed on the mask set aside.

Su Wan, "Gu Jue, I wanted to ask you about this a few days ago. This mask is really beautiful, did Teacher Andrew make it?"

Looking at her radiant smile, all the frost in Gu Jue’s heart melted.

Why think so much about it.

After all, when it comes to his delicate wife, Commander Gu Jue never needs to overthink; just dote on her and that’s that!

Gu Jue, "I specifically had Andrew rush to make this couple’s mask. The smaller one is for you, see if you like it."

Su Wan was taken aback.

She turned her head, opened the transparent box, and took out the mask.

Touching the mask’s cool texture, she suddenly thought of something!

Could it be... her "Food God" disguise had slipped?

Su Wan tried to steady herself and said to Gu Jue with her back turned, "Ajue, why would you suddenly think to give me a mask out of the blue?"

Gu Jue walked over, embraced his petite wife from behind, and carefully took the mask, gently fitting it onto her.

Throughout the process, the actions of Commander Gu were very slow.

Su Wan felt that intimate atmosphere, which was even more intense than during any of the previous Manic-Depressive Periods!

Someone once said, "In a back hug, two hearts can be closest to each other."

"I think you look very beautiful with this mask on." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The warmth of Gu Jue’s breath teased Su Wan’s ear.

Since her transformation into a mermaid, her entire being had become more sensitive to strong scents.

How to put it?

Su Wan felt like she was a fish being eyed by a cat... The tension of becoming prey almost excited her enough to sprout her fish tail!

However, although the breath behind her was domineering and forceful, it was incredibly familiar to Su Wan.

She bit her lip corner lightly, and through the mask, she could clearly see the world outside.

But the mask was cold, and the person behind her, very warm!

The torment of ice and fire, a song of love and affection.

Su Wan heard herself say, "Don’t I look even more beautiful without a mask?"

She secretly gave herself a thumbs up!

To still be clear-headed at this moment was quite an achievement for her.

Gu Jue, hugging her from behind, also slowly smiled.

He pressed a button on the mask and said softly, "The mask can transform. If you don’t like its current look, we can ask Teacher Andrew to install a program later, then you can have Vermilion Bird control the changes to whatever design you like."

Although this design would be very difficult, it wasn’t impossible.

Andrew had been involved in the Azure Dragon project before and should be able to do this.

Su Wan’s eyes lit up, "Really? That’s great!"

She loved this mask and its functionalities were very comprehensive.

But if she wore this mask during her cooking live streams, not only would Ajue know, probably the entire Federation Empire would realize that she was the Food God.

Bringing up this disguise, Su Wan felt that there shouldn’t be too many secrets between spouses.

At the very least, she shouldn’t continue to hide this secret from Ajue.

She took off the mask and turned around, coming face to face with Gu Jue.

Su Wan said in a low voice, "Ajue, if I have been hiding something from you, will you be angry when you find out?"

Gu Jue drew closer and kissed her forehead, "Is it something related to our marriage?"

Su Wan hurriedly shook her head, "No, it’s not. It’s something else."

Gu Jue: "Then, I won’t be angry. How about you?"

Su Wan wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on her tiptoes, and tried to keep eye level with him.

She said, "As long as it doesn’t affect our marriage or our love, it’s fine, but you must not put yourself in danger. I would worry about you."

Our love.

These few words pleased Commander Gu immensely.

He directly lifted his petite wife into his arms and kissed...
