Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 128: Wanwan, Do You Think I’m Too Old?
Lin Ranyue was originally lying on the sofa with a facial mask on.
The primitive kind, the type where cucumber slices are thinly cut and placed on your face.
Both ancient and wasteful, considering cucumbers are a rarity these days.
But the Lin family has always pampered their girls, and even though Lin Ranyue had grown up, she was still the Lin family’s little princess.
Oh no, since Xiaowan was there, Lin Ranyue could only be the Lin family’s grand princess, while the little princess was Su Wan.
At this time, the shock was too much for the grand princess of the Lin family, and she bolted upright from the sofa.
The cucumber slices on her face fluttered down one by one.
Another slice of cucumber even flew onto Old Master Lin’s face...
Old Master Lin calmly peeled off the cucumber slice, "What is it that’s made you so happy?"
Lin Ranyue excitedly clutched the light brain, "Dad, maybe, probably, you’re about to have another son-in-law!"
Old Master Lin: !!!!!!!
The straightforward proposal from Mu Lei caught Lin Ranyue a bit off guard.
But it was more a pleasant surprise!
She immediately shared the wonderful news with her precious daughter.
When Su Wan saw the message from her mother on the light brain, she was speechless for quite a long time.
Sheng An, sitting beside her, looked on with concern.
"Xiaowan, what’s wrong?"
Sheng An wasn’t very talkative, but the little girl was very attentive and caring towards her friends.
Su Wan, with a complex expression, said, "Nothing, it’s just that, maybe, probably, I’m about to have another dad."
Sheng An considerately did not press further.
Su Wan let out a couple of dry laughs and then quickly adjusted her mood, digesting the ’shocking’ news.
After class, she rushed back to the dormitory and immediately called her mother.
The projection connected quickly, and Su Wan could see that her mother seemed to be sitting in an aircraft.
"Mom, what exactly is going on? How far have you two gone? Wasn’t it just coffee and horror movies before?"
"He asked me if I had any intentions of remarrying, and if I did... we should go out for coffee and talk."
Lin Ranyue’s cheeks were still slightly flushed as she patted her face, "I didn’t expect things to move so fast, Director Mu really surprised me."
Su Wan: "Mom, I also think things are moving too fast."
Su Wan felt quite conflicted.
Though she really wanted to urge her mom to think it over more carefully,
logically speaking, if a second marriage made her mom happy, that was all that mattered.
Director Mu’s character was beyond reproach. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
But there might be some trouble on their side of the family, considering how ancient the lineage was.
As for the snake, snakes can be cute too... right?
Although Lin Ranyue was very happy, she remained entirely rational.
"I’ve decided to have a sincere talk with him, mainly to see what he’s thinking, since he was the one who broke the ice. If our ideas don’t align, then I would still choose to give up."
Seeing that her mother was happy yet sensible, Su Wan felt relieved.
When she got home in the evening and was discussing the matter with Commander Gu over dinner, Su Wan was overwhelmed by complex emotions.
"I never thought that the two of them would actually take a fancy to each other. When you think about it, Director Mu is even a few years younger than mom. His family is an ancient one—don’t they have a lot of demands?"
That is to say, even if Mu Lei really wanted to be with Lin Ranyue,
his family might not agree to him marrying a woman who had been married before.
Commander Gu, who was eating, paused.
He picked up a napkin from the side and wiped his mouth.
Looking at his little wife with a face full of complex emotions, Gu Jue’s tone was slow.
"Wanwan, do you think I’m too old?"
"What?"
Su Wan’s thoughts were still on her mother and Director Mu’s matter.
She had no idea what the Mu Family’s attitude was, but once Gu Jue spoke up, she was completely stunned.
How did the subject turn to herself?
Su Wan, "I have never minded that you’re older."
Mainly because Gu Jue looked very young, about in his twenties.
Especially when he was in his Manic-Depressive Period, he was just like a soft and tender little brother!
Gu Jue lowered his eyes halfway, "My physiological age is forty."
Su Wan, "I know, didn’t you tell me when we first met?"
Back then, Su Wan was about to be assigned a man by the Main System.
She had fallen in love with Ajue at first sight and asked how old he was.
He said he seemed to be forty.
But Gu Jue knew that Su Wan hadn’t believed him then.
Gu Jue, the Commander, was slightly troubled by this, causing the temperature around them to drop as well.
The White Tiger fluttering in the sky also became anxious.
Noticing this, Su Wan picked up a piece of salt-grilled lamb and placed it into Gu Jue’s bowl.
Su Wan, "Ajue, you are a Beastman, and I am a pure human, your lifespan is bound to be longer than mine. Looking at it this way, it’s actually great that you’re a bit older than me. This way, we can spend more time together."
When she reaches a hundred and fifty years old, coming to the end of her life.
Gu Jue would only be a little over one hundred seventy.
"This way, you’ll be less lonely for twenty years," she said.
Although, it wasn’t calculated like this in terms of time.
Moreover, as a mutated Beastman, Gu Jue’s lifespan was far more than two hundred years.
But seeing his little wife’s bright smile, Gu Jue, the Commander, reached out and held Su Wan’s little hand.
"We will be together for a very, very long time."
For longer than you can imagine.
Yet Su Wan thought to herself, the two of them had only just been married for a short while.
There were still more than a hundred years in the future, which was a long enough time.
She said with a smile, "Yes, for a long and lasting time. Let’s eat quickly, or it will get cold."
"Okay."
Su Wan’s application to transfer departments to the military academy had caused quite a stir at Empire University.
Everyone had their own opinions on the matter.
But fortunately, after previous events, no one blindly criticized Su Wan online anymore.
The main topic of discussion was still her pregnancy.
The two girls who had experienced morning sickness while training with Su Wan had also heard about this.
The two girls admired Su Wan greatly.
They were now struggling with basic classes and were still in a state of nausea, unable to find interest in anything.
Yet there was Su Wan, switching her department while pregnant!
And to the most rigorous military academy at Empire University!
Because the three people from Su Wan’s dorm transferred together to the military academy, Su Wan was still in the same dorm with Sheng An and Luo Jina.
However, they were now in different majors.
When Su Wan went to report to the Command Department alone, she saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance.
Her eyes brightened, "Lin Yu! Did you switch departments too?"
The handsome young Lin Yu, wearing the Empire University’s double-breasted uniform, turned around and smiled slightly.
"Yes, from now on, we are classmates."
Lin Yu was originally the top student in the College of Humanities, with exceptionally high emotional and intelligence quotients, only slightly behind a Beastman in physical abilities.
Seeing his companions so eagerly progressing, Lin Yu had also applied for a transfer.
Su Wan was quite happy to have a familiar person around, and then followed Lin Yu into the classroom.
The next moment, she saw the figure of Director Mu Lei dressed in a black training outfit.
