Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 116: I Don’t Look Down on People, Just Garbage
Su Wan was taken aback; she had a lot more to say.
So, all of that was unnecessary?
Gu Jue, however, reached out and tenderly wiped the grain of rice from the corner of her mouth.
"You rest a little more, I’ll go to the study for a while, and at seven o’clock, we’ll set off," he said.
"Oh."
After Gu Jue left, the household robots cleared away the dishes and bowls.
Su Wan hugged the pillow, patting her face.
Her cheeks felt a bit hot.
Could it be that Gu Jue said he was free today just for her?
This man really was...
And when he just wiped the grain of rice from her mouth, did he still remember the things from his Manic-Depressive Period?

Gu Jue went to the study, turned on the screen, and woke up Li Rui, who was still asleep.
Thinking it was an emergency, Li Rui quickly saluted, "Commander, what’s the matter?"
Gu Jue said, "I’m on leave today, and if there aren’t any emergencies, don’t look for me."
Then, the screen went black.
Li Rui: "..."
Although surprised, ever since getting married, the Commander had always been doing things unexpectedly.
As his most capable aide, Li Rui’s adaptability ought to be the strongest.
So, Li Rui quickly accepted this ’surprise.’
Of course, being woken up before dawn with such "good news" wasn’t something he wanted to enjoy alone.
Then Li Rui called Eric’s communicator and after waking up his colleague, he relayed the information.
Eric, with hair like a bird’s nest in the projection, bore a face full of resentment.
"You could have told me this after sunrise!" he complained.
Li Rui spoke in a detached tone, "I can’t sleep now, and since you’re also awake, let’s go over today’s work and see if there’s anything that must be reviewed by the Commander."
Eric: "..."
He swore, their friendship’s little boat, today, had sunk!

Two hours later, Su Wan and Gu Jue left the house.
Since it was a private trip and they didn’t want to alarm the local planet administrators or cause any commotion, they decided to keep a low profile and take a civilian spaceship.
But before leaving, Su Wan was a bit worried.
"Ajue, will you be uncomfortable traveling on a civilian spaceship?" she asked.
"It’s fine," he replied.
Gu Jue was tall with long legs, and the ordinary seats in a civilian spaceship were a bit cramped for him.
However, Su Wan had booked a first-class cabin on the Star Web, which should be more comfortable.
Today, Gu Jue wasn’t in his military uniform but wore a casual white shirt with silver-grey suit pants, golden-wire glasses, and his hair combed back, exposing a clean forehead.
He looked every bit the elegant nobleman.
Su Wan was in a white dress that clung to her graceful figure, with beautiful embroidery around the neckline and sleeves, and a hem that swept past her calves.
Commander Gu gave her a cursory glance.
He seemed very satisfied with the length of the dress.
Both of their appearances were too outstanding, and as they walked, they instantly attracted a lot of attention.
People immediately recognized the great Commander!
After all, ever since the First Commander stopped wearing a mask, everyone in the Interstellar Federation, from newborn infants to the elderly over two hundred years old, knew the face that lay beneath the Commander’s mask!
Too handsome, it was unforgettable.
"Good day, Commander!"
"Wow, Commander, you and your wife really look like a married couple!"
"I’m so happy, I actually get to see the living Commander Gu!"
As the crowd grew, even the staff checking tickets at the boarding gate were stunned.
Su Wan quickly grabbed Gu Jue and rushed on board.
Having my own man as the nation’s War God is a real headache for Su Wan.
Trying to keep a low profile is seriously hard.
But if we take a private spacecraft, then we’ll have to apply for a flight path...
Fine, it will be even more of a hassle than it is now.
When news of Commander Gu’s arrival spread, the captain and crew of the ship all came over to pay their respects to Gu Jue.
Su Wan had no choice but to walk to the front cabin seats on her own.
If she had walked any later, she probably would have been surrounded by onlookers.
"Su Wan, why is it you?"
Huo Jiaojiao’s seat was right next to Su Wan’s seat, and she was sitting beside Mother Huo.
The mother and daughter were also heading to Barren Star.
Su Wan didn’t even glance at her as she casually turned on the screen in front of her to watch the interstellar news.
"What, is this spacecraft yours, or is Barren Star your property? They allow you to come but not me?"
Huo Jiaojiao looked frustrated, "Su Wan, are you looking down on people now that you’re the Commander’s wife? Why are you speaking in such a sarcastic tone!"
Su Wan let out a light sigh, looking at the nose-up-in-the-air Huo Jiaojiao, who seemed to have been born without a brain.
"I’m not looking down on people; I just look down on trash."
"Who are you calling trash?"
"The one sitting on your seat, the trash that seems to be born without a brain."
"You!"
Huo Jiaojiao’s face immediately changed, she was so angry that she was shaking, and she stuttered you, you, you for quite a while.
She didn’t know how to retort.
Su Wan chuckled lightly, "This fighting ability is also trash."
She didn’t think she was being excessive in saying this.
In the past, she was willing to accommodate Huo Jiaojiao because she thought she was going to marry Huo Yichang.
Indulging his sister a bit was not a big deal.
But now, she has absolutely nothing to do with Huo Yichang, so why should she still pamper Huo Jiaojiao?
She’s not her real sister.
Huo Jiaojiao also realized this point, she was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn’t utter a word, and it was Mother Huo who tugged at her.
Mother Huo whispered, "Jiaojiao, let it go, she’s the Commander’s wife, we can’t afford to offend her."
Upon hearing this, Su Wan immediately laughed, "Mrs. Huo, it was your daughter who provoked me first; what, are you planning to play the victim? Do you not know that the people who slandered me a while ago are still squatting in the Interstellar Prison?"
Mother Huo was timid and immediately didn’t dare to speak.
Huo Jiaojiao spoke through gritted teeth, "Su Wan, I’ll just watch how long you can be arrogant!"
Su Wan smiled, "Well, since you enjoy it, just keep watching. I estimate I can be arrogant for more than a hundred years."
"You!"
Huo Jiaojiao realized that Su Wan had become sharp-tongued!
She was nothing like the previous Su Wanwan, who wouldn’t talk back no matter what was said—a completely different person!
She was extremely annoyed, "Su Wan, the gentle you was all just an act! You never loved my brother! Poor my brother, he became so haggard for you! If it weren’t for your heart changing and marrying Commander Gu, my brother wouldn’t be in such a sorry state!"
Su Wan responded, "Doesn’t the Huo family have a problem? Got amnesia? The person who didn’t show up on the wedding day was Huo Yichang. Am I out of my mind to still like him?"
"Huo Yichang miserable? Hah, he got what he deserved!"
"Also, during the contract period, the Huo family cut off the vegetable and fruit supply to the Su Family restaurant, which technically is a breach of contract; you owe compensation to our Su family’s restaurant."
The mother and daughter of the Huo family didn’t know about this business matter.
Moreover, the Huo family’s business had indeed plummeted recently.
When it came to breach of contract and compensation, Mother Huo’s face changed colour, and she dared not speak anymore.
But Huo Jiaojiao had been spoiled rotten and was used to bullying Su Wan before.
Now she couldn’t get the upper hand at all, and she felt extremely unhappy.
"You say compensate and we’ll just compensate?"
Su Wan smiled, "Yes, because I am the successor to the Su family’s restaurant, what I say goes."
Huo Jiaojiao realized this and her arrogance was thoroughly squashed.
She muttered quietly, "What’s there to be proud of! Married to the Commander, but when you go out to handle affairs, don’t you still have to go out alone?"
Just as Huo Jiaojiao’s words fell, a tall figure appeared in this seating area.
