Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 121: Warm and Sweet at the Heart’s Core
Su Wan recalled the aggressively domineering demeanor of Huo Jiaojiao on the starship.
She wore a faint smile, "I wouldn’t want them to have any misunderstandings about me."
She, Su Wan, was not someone easy to bully.
If she didn’t give the Huo Family a bit of a display of strength, who knew when they would cause trouble again.
Beyond the matter of the Huo Family, Su Wan also brought up the subject of medicinal cuisine with her grandfather.
"These dishes with added medicinal herbs, though bland, are very beneficial to the body; it’s also a form of ancient tradition. Grandpa, I plan to experiment first at the branch in District One, and if the results are good, then I’ll expand it to the other branches."
Seeing his granddaughter get married, pregnant, attend school, and still not neglecting her career despite being so busy!
Old Master Su’s eyes brimmed with pride.
"Your idea is good, go ahead and do it with confidence. As for the medicinal cuisine, you can discuss it with your cousin later."
Su Wan nodded.
Just as she was about to end the call with her grandfather, the old gentleman suddenly said, "Xiaowan, when does the ’Food God’ have time? I’d like to invite him for a meal."
Su Wan: "..."
She suddenly realized that everyone around her was so interested in the ’Food God’.
Oh no, except for Commander Gu.
Until now, he didn’t care about her live streaming at all.
Su Wan: "Grandpa, the ’Food God’ doesn’t really like to show his face; he has social anxiety. Oh right, not long ago I heard the ’Food God’ say that Su Zhen contacted him, wanting to meet privately to discuss a collaboration."
Upon hearing that the ’Food God’ was inconvenient to meet, Old Master Su expressed regret but didn’t say anything further.
That such an incredible person didn’t want to socialize with others made sense.
However, upon hearing that Su Zhen actually contacted the ’Food God’ privately, Old Master Su’s whiskers trembled with fury!
"That bastard, what’s he up to now! I’ve already announced to the public that he is not allowed to enter the Su Family’s door after marrying that woman! I’ve also severed my relationship with him as a father; it’s just that he has not acknowledged it yet."
This was the first time Su Wan heard of this.
She had known that her grandfather did not approve of Su Zhen marrying Du Weiwei but had not anticipated such a harsh statement.
Even to the point of disowning him!
So, the question arose.
To help that mother and daughter, Su Zhen was willing to pay such a high price, essentially becoming an officer without rank.
Was it that Du Weiwei was too manipulative, or was Su Zhen just foolish?
And now, as an officer without rank, would Du Weiwei still care about Su Zhen?
Perhaps that’s why Su Zhen sought to contact the ’Food God’ privately.
As she listened to her grandfather cursing over the communicator, Su Wan finally remarked with a sigh, "Maybe it’s true love for them."
"True love? Ha, it’s just that woman using her schemes to tie down Su Zhen! Forget it, let’s not talk about them. Right, Xiaowan, your eldest brother is about to graduate, and his job..."
Su Wan immediately knew what her grandfather wanted to say.
"Grandfather, my eldest brother has approached me, but I don’t really understand these things, and the Commander has been very busy recently. I wouldn’t want to bother him. As you know, Commander Gu is always composed and wise. Even His Majesty the Emperor cannot interfere with his decisions, let alone me."
"Hmm, I understand the principle, my grandchild. Never mind, it’s not easy for you. Marrying into the royal family, there’s little we can do to help you. Take care of yourself and don’t overwork."
"Alright, Grandpa, goodbye."
Once Old Master Su ended the communication, he turned to his eldest grandson seated beside him and said, "Don’t make it difficult for Xiaowan. What kind of person is Commander Gu? Even the Emperor’s words he won’t heed, so how could Xiaowan’s influence him?"
Su Yun actually also felt that Commander Gu might not take Xiaowan’s, his sister’s, words to heart.
But to just go and work at a basic position, he felt extremely unwilling!
Old Master Su spoke earnestly and with deep concern.
"Xiaoyun, gold will shine no matter where it is. It’s good for you to go and train at a basic position. In two years, when the first Starship Squadron is recruiting, you can try again."
Su Yun was very discontented.
But knowing that Grandpa couldn’t help, or was unwilling to help, he didn’t say much more and just nodded his head.
It’s just that when he left the Su Family, his face was stern, and his expression was not very pleasant.
These family members, every single one of them, were useless!
**
Two days had passed, and Gu Jue still hadn’t come back.
When Su Wan was living alone in the Commander’s mansion, she felt that the house was inexplicably large.
In the end, she took her personal toiletries and went back to her dorm to live.
Luo Jina was surprised to see her moving back with her belongings.
"Did you argue with the Commander and then get kicked out?"
Su Wan glared at her, "Miss, can’t you think well of me? My relationship with the Commander is so good, how could we have fought. It’s just that he’s not home these days, so I thought, I might as well move back to the dorm with you guys, I miss you all."
Luo Jina: "I know, I know, being alone in an empty house, feeling empty, lonely, and cold."
Su Wan directly smashed the small cupcake in her hand onto Luo Jina’s face.
"You know so much; I’m really worried for your future husband!"
Sheng An couldn’t help but chuckle from the side, "Jina is just a theory expert, a novice in practice. From the current look of things, her husband should be safe."
Su Wan gave her a thumbs up, "Well summed up."
"Ah, you guys are too mean, I don’t like you anymore!"
Miss Luo messed up her hair in annoyance, her hairstyle once again exploding into an octopus look.
Although Su Wan felt life was more lively being with her roommates,
she realized an important problem.
She missed Gu Jue.
So, when it was deep into the night, after taking a bath, lying in bed, and rolling around a few times with a pillow under her embrace,
Su Wan sent a message directly to the Commander.
Su Wan: Ajue, when are you coming home?
These past few days, Gu Jue also missed his little wife dearly.
But due to his duties, he had to complete his work first.
The delay was because, apart from this Barren Star, other planets had also discovered unevolved wormholes.
These wormholes could be traced back to being set up over a decade ago.
It was clearly a significant move.
Someone conspired with the Insect Clan, attempting to deal a tremendous blow to the Federal Empire.
Luckily, they discovered this incomplete wormhole in advance and by following the trail, they nipped what could have been a major crisis in a few years’ time in the bud.
After he finished with all this, several days had already passed.
Gu Jue had communicated with his little wife in between, telling her not to worry, but he hadn’t mentioned when he would return.
Seeing his little wife’s message, Commander Gu’s stern eyebrows bent slightly.
His heart felt warm and sweet.
Gu Jue directly dialed her back, his voice low and magnetic, he slowly said, "Open your window, and you’ll see me."
Su Wan was startled.
Gu Jue had not only come back but also come to Empire University?
But the next moment, Su Wan calmed down.
Her dormitory building was very tall, so opening the window, she figured she wouldn’t be able to see the ground, which meant...
