Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 108: So That’s What You’re Like, Commander (Extra for 200 Monthly Tickets)
Su Zhen truly cherished his foster daughter.
Because in her, he saw the embodiment of his first love, whom he loved but could never have.
Add to that, Du Weiwei crying at home had shattered his heart.
Even though he was extremely fearful of Gu Jue, Su Zhen still mustered the courage to show up.
After he got all these words out in one breath, he waited anxiously for Commander Gu’s response.
It felt like waiting for the verdict of fate.
As expected, the aloof commander slowly began to speak, "To not hold Su Man accountable is not out of the question."
Su Zhen’s eyes instantly lit up!
Gu Jue continued, "But you’ll have to agree to two conditions."
"Yes, yes, yes, not just two conditions, ten would be fine as well, just say it, Commander," he urged.
"First, go to the Personal Information Center to sever the father-daughter relationship, then issue a public statement that, from now on, Wanwan is no longer your daughter."
Su Zhen stood there, dumbfounded.
He didn’t understand why Commander Gu wanted them to sever their father-daughter relationship.
Gu Jue’s handsome eyes coolly swept over him, "Is there a problem?"
Su Zhen hesitated.
The mighty Commander Gu, backed by the Imperial Family, represented the highest authority of the entire Federal Empire!
Which means, even if Xiaowan isn’t close with her father,
those outside would still show him three parts respect, seeing Commander as his son-in-law.
If Su Zhen severed ties with his daughter Su Wan, then this layer of protection would vanish.
Struggling, Su Zhen spoke, "Commander Gu, you can’t just separate a father and daughter, it’s not... not right to do so."
"Are you teaching me how to do my job?"
"No! I’m not!"
Su Zhen’s palms were sweaty with fear, and he remembered the sight of Commander Gu’s cold, vertical pupils that day.
He pursed his lips, "But, but to completely sever a parent-child relationship, requires, requires both parties..." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"You don’t need to worry about Wanwan’s side, do you have a problem with this?"
The pressure from Gu Jue was just too strong.
If Su Zhen wasn’t sitting on the couch at that moment, he probably would have fallen to the ground.
Su Zhen wiped his sweaty palms on his pants, "Then, what’s the second matter?"
"Immediately register for marriage with Du Weiwei. Both of these matters must be settled today."
Gu Jue stood up and straightened his cufflinks, his tone detached, "White Tiger, see the guest out."
White Tiger: "Yes, Master."
A few minutes later, Su Zhen was escorted out the door, and the electronic door behind him closed once again. He stood there, as if frostbitten.
Su Zhen wanted to knock on the door again but had already lost the courage to do so.
However, for the sake of Weiwei and Xiaoman, was it worth doing this?
But if he didn’t do this, he knew Weiwei would be disappointed in him.
Commander Gu only gave him twelve hours.
After twelve hours, Su Man would be facing a year and six months of imprisonment!
Su Zhen was caught in a tough spot!
Meanwhile, Gu Jue went back to his room to change into casual home clothes and then went to find his little wife.
The bedroom Su Wan used to occupy had been turned into her study and dressing room.
When Gu Jue arrived, Su Wan was reading.
The book was open to a section on the physiological structure of Beastmen.
"The physical structure of Beastmen varies slightly between different species," Su Wan mused, her expression becoming increasingly strange as something suddenly came to mind.
Just then, she heard the beep of the door and someone entered.
Turning around, she saw Commander in a silver-grey casual outfit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his usual cold and abstinent demeanor.
He approached and started with, "Wanwan, I’m sorry."
With an outstretched arm, he trapped Su Wan between the desk and himself.
Upon hearing the apology, Su Wan was a bit stunned and subconsciously leaned back, "What did you do wrong again?"
Why use ’again’?
It was because during a manic episode, a certain commander became overly excited and ended up making his delicate wife cry.
Of course, he had apologized afterward.
However, he would make the same mistake again.
Remembering how pitiful she had been at that time, Su Wan braced herself, intending to remind the commander that it was still broad daylight.
And that she was just an ordinary pure human, not very strong at all!
But then Gu Jue said, "Su Zhen was here just now."
"Ah, did he come to plead for Su Man?"
"Yes."
"You didn’t agree to him, did you?"
"I told him that I would not pursue Su Man anymore, as long as he agrees to two conditions," he said.
"..."
Su Wan felt that Gu Jue’s statement was loaded with information.
She asked, "What are the two conditions?"
"First, he has to sever the father-daughter relationship with you. Second, he has to marry Du Weiwei immediately." Gu Jue’s eyes brightened as he looked at his delicate wife; he knew he had made the right move.
"Your father is foolish and will surely do more stupid things in the future. It’s better to draw a line between you and him sooner. And it wouldn’t be appropriate for you to bring it up—it would bring you negative attention," he said.
Su Wan’s heart immediately warmed.
That foolish dad, she had wanted to let go of him long ago; she had just not found the opportunity to do so.
But Gu Jue had quietly handled the matter for her.
Su Wan: "But this isn’t appropriate for you either. After all, you are the foremost commander, and outsiders will talk about you."
"No problem."
Anyway, Commander Gu had already earned the title of a wife doting fool. Adding one more action like this was inconsequential.
What others said about him didn’t matter.
But they couldn’t speak ill of his wife.
Su Wan was genuinely grateful.
Because of the two conditions he put to Su Zhen, not only did Su Wan completely draw the line with Su Zhen, but also her mother Lin Ranyue was able to completely separate from Su Zhen as well.
With Su Zhen marrying Du Weiwei, if he bothered Lin Ranyue again, they could directly sue him.
There was an even more important point... The patriarch of the Su family had declared that if Su Zhen got together with Du Weiwei, he would never be allowed to enter the Su family home again.
It was a comprehensive gain.
Su Wan: "With such a significant loss, I doubt he’ll agree to it."
Gu Jue: "Then it proves that his feelings for Du Weiwei aren’t deep. This way, he will lose the mother and daughter, Su Man will go to jail, and they’ll no longer be able to use Su Zhen to trouble you. For us, there’s no loss either."
Su Wan thought it made sense.
No matter which option Su Zhen chose, he would be at a loss.
Su Wan looked up at the handsome commander.
Not to mention, she had previously thought this legendary War God was the upright and principled type of commander.
But who would have imagined he could be this cunning?
If he wanted to set a trap for someone, probably no one could escape it.
Being looked at so seriously by his delicate wife, Gu Jue’s lips twitched slightly, his voice a bit hoarse, "Wanwan, do you want to see my wings again?"
Gu Jue’s wings were white, extremely large, majestic, and particularly beautiful.
Spread wide, they could enfold the two of them entirely, like... last time...
Upon hearing this, Su Wan promptly shook her head: "No, not that."
Commander Gu felt a bit disappointed. "Alright then, do you want to try riding the Mecha Azure Dragon?"
Su Wan’s eyes immediately lit up, "I can do that!"
