Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 143: The Commander is in a Bad Mood and Needs Kisses and Cuddles from His Sweet Wife
Luckily, it was just a communication.
If it had been face-to-face, Lin Ranyue would have witnessed Lan Ruochen’s highly speechless, collapsed, and complicated expressions.
At home, Gu Zilan always acted carefree, humorous, and gentle.
But in public, he was a solemn and commanding emperor.
Gu Zilan spoke indifferently, "My uncle only likes my aunt; he won’t marry anyone else!"
After saying this, he worried the other party might set their sights on him.
Gu Zilan added, "In our Federal Empire, marriage is monogamous, and no one is allowed to violate this! If your sister wants to marry into our society, she must adopt our customs!"
Lan Ruochen caught the warning in Gu Zilan’s tone and promptly backed off.
"So that’s how it is; we’re to blame for overlooking the differences in marriage customs between our two star planets. Then, when you have time, Your Majesty, please introduce my sister to some of the unmarried young people in the Gu Family."
"I can do that."
After Lan Ruochen cut off the communication, he felt a bit relieved.
Having dealt with Gu Zilan for so many years, this was the first time he had seen him show signs of anger.
Lan Rui looked at him with eager eyes. "Brother, can I really not marry Commander Gu?"
"Xiaorui, people here in the Federation are committed to monogamy when it comes to marriage. Commander Gu is already married, so stop thinking about him. I’ll find you a capable young husband from the Gu Family."
"No! I only like Commander Gu!"
Lan Ruochen helplessly responded, "That would require Commander Gu to like you too."
Lan Rui was conflicted for a while before finally raising her head, her face serious.
"Brother, didn’t you say you were going to select a few young people from Mermaid Planet to come to Empire University as exchange students? Count me in!"
"If Commander Gu doesn’t like me, it must be because he didn’t know me before. If we have the chance to spend more time together, he will surely come to like me!"
On Mermaid Planet, there were a lot of people who liked Lan Rui.
She was smart, beautiful, and of noble lineage; after reaching adulthood, countless suitors came to ask for her hand.
Lan Ruochen had a bit of a headache but cherished his only sister.
The two were full siblings, while their other brothers and sisters were born to different mothers.
In the end, Lan Ruochen said, "I can add your name to the list, but if Commander Gu doesn’t like you and makes it clear he rejects you, you must not make a fuss or cause trouble, understand? If things get out of hand and it damages the friendship between our two star planets, I might not be able to save you!"
"Brother, I get it. I will show off my excellence and make Commander Gu take notice of me. I definitely won’t resort to any other methods."
"Then keep your pheromones under control; don’t think I don’t know you released them yesterday when we met."
"...Alright."
Just as Mermaid Princess Lan Rui was full of anticipation to compete for love, the atmosphere in the private rest room of Empire University’s Commander Gu was incredibly romantic.
Su Wan pushed away the fluffy wings. "Ajue, I have to go to class."
Commander Gu was a bit reluctant to let her go.
But he knew his little wife loved studying and wouldn’t skip classes.
He could only, with a cold handsome face, retract his wings and tail.
Su Wan kissed his chin, "You’re busy with a lot of things at the military department, you go on. After all, in a few hours, we can go home and see each other."
"I want to eat the food you cook tonight."
"Sure!"
Today, Su Wan had passed the preliminary round of the mecha competition, so she would rest for a while.
Plus, since she was going to do a live stream as the Food God, she might as well cook for Commander Gu.
As for whether Commander Gu would discover the Food God was her...
The busy Commander had no spare time to watch live streams.
With the promise of dinner and his little wife’s cuddles and kisses, Commander Gu finally was in a better mood.
However, while traveling in the flying vehicle back to the military department, Commander Gu, with a cold face, gave his subordinates more work.
Li Rui, Eric, and the others: "..."
Commander and his wife had disappeared for a few hours, they were supposed to return looking all lovey-dovey, right?
How come it’s still the dead of winter!!!
Meanwhile, Su Wan returned to her dorm to prepare for the next class. Seeing there were still more than twenty minutes left, she sent a message to her mother, Lin Ranyue.
Su Wan: Mom, I was so awesome today! I defeated a third-year from the Solo Combat Department!
Lin Ranyue: Is my grandchild still in your belly?
Su Wan: ...It should be. Mom, aren’t you going to praise your daughter?
Lin Ranyue: Praise! Of course, I’ll praise you! My Xiaowan is so outstanding, beautiful, amazing!
Lin Ranyue: So perfect I can hardly believe I gave birth to you!
Su Wan: O(∩_∩)O~
Lin Ranyue: I’m serious, I’ve seen the video, my Xiaowan is just fabulous!
Su Wan was startled, but then she realized that Director Mu must have shared the video of her fight with Molto with her mother.
Speaking of Director Mu, Su Wan became a bit worried for her own mother.
Su Wan: Mom, Mu Xiaoge told me that Director Mu visited the Mu Family estate a while ago, he probably discussed your affair.
Su Wan: Did he mention anything to you?
Lin Ranyue: He said his family has agreed to our marriage, and this weekend, I’ll go with him to visit the Mu Family and meet the elders.
Su Wan: That soon?
Lin Ranyue: It’s not too bad, in any case, acceptance means acceptance, and if not, then let it be. Xiaowan, you don’t worry, your mom won’t be at a disadvantage no matter what.
Ever since her divorce from Su Zhen, Lin Ranyue had become even more carefree.
She did like Mu Lei, that was for sure.
But, Lin Ranyue was not about to give up everything for Mu Lei’s sake.
For a woman, a lover is indeed important, but she herself is more important.
Having been burnt once by a man, Ms. Lin had become even more clear-headed.
Actually, she was even mentally prepared for the Mu Family to disapprove of their relationship.
But Su Wan was still somewhat worried.
Su Wan: Mom, let me accompany you this weekend.
Lin Ranyue: Is it convenient?
Su Wan: No problem at all. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
As for visiting the Mu Family, Lin Ranyue did feel somewhat nervous inside.
This nervousness was something she couldn’t yet talk to her parents about.
A daughter really is a mother’s intimate little cotton-padded jacket.
If she wanted someone to accompany her to the Mu Family, Lin Ranyue would definitely choose her daughter!
Only after confirming multiple times that visiting the Mu Family wouldn’t affect her daughter or her daughter’s health,
did Lin Ranyue finally agree.
Su Wan had reached the classroom. Seeing that class was about to start, she mentioned one last thing to her mother.
Su Wan: Mom, Su Zhen plans to have Su Yun marry Su Man, but Su Yun rejected him.
Lin Ranyue: What? Really?!
Lin Ranyue: What an idiot Su Zhen is!!!
Ten minutes passed, and Su Wan checked again only to see that her mother hadn’t sent any new messages.
That phrase about Su Zhen stopped right there on the latest chat page.
So, what was Ms. Lin doing?
