Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 149: This Manic-Depressive Period Seems a Bit Suspicious
"Yeah, you can use any reason, but she must be fired."
Gu Jue looked up and saw Su Wan standing at the door, speaking lightly, "Just like that."
After ending the call, Gu Jue stepped toward Su Wan; it wasn’t until he got close that Su Wan came back to her senses.
"Was it about firing Su Man?"
"Yes."
"What if..."
"There are no ’what ifs.’ It’s all been arranged," Commander Gu directly took his delicate wife’s hand and slowly walked outside.
He said, "I’m hungry."
Su Wan: "Mm, the meal is ready, I’m coming to call you to eat."
During the meal, Su Wan brought up the matter of accompanying her mother to the Mu Family over the weekend.
Commander Gu turned his head and asked White Tiger, "Pull up my schedule for the weekend."
White Tiger: "Yes!"
Su Wan quickly said, "Ajue, you don’t need to come with me. I can accompany my mother."
Jokingly, if Commander Gu were to go along... the Mu family would probably all cry out of fear.
Although, Su Wan also knew that if Gu Jue accompanied them, then the Mu family would definitely not dare to look down on her mother Lin Ranyue.
But, subconsciously, Su Wan believed that Gu Jue, as the Commander, shouldn’t do such things.
White Tiger had already checked, "Master, on Saturday morning you have to send off guests from Mermaid Planet; the afternoon is free."
Su Wan immediately said, "We’ll leave in the morning!"
Gu Jue frowned slightly but eventually said, "Then I’ll come find you in the afternoon."
Su Wan found this man to be very persistent.
"Ajue, if you have important matters to attend to, there’s no need to come. After all, I’ll be able to return the next day."
"We’ll see then. The food’s getting cold, let’s eat first."
"Alright."
After dinner, Gu Jue went to the study to deal with company affairs.
Su Wan read for a while, browsed the school forum, and then took a bath.
She looked at her slightly swollen belly in the mirror, feeling very intrigued.
"Right, how long is a Beastman’s pregnancy?"
Su Wan’s fingers gently brushed over her belly. She quickly washed her hair and then left the bathroom.
She started asking Vermilion Bird to bring out all the collected information about Beastman babies.
Vermilion Bird: "Master, your daily schedule is too full; you’re working too hard."
There were classes, the Mecha competition to participate in.
Live streaming, managing the restaurant.
And taking care of the one in her belly.
Su Wan: "I do regular body checks; there are no problems. Besides, I’ve found that both my spiritual power and physical strength have increased."
She stretched out her hand to touch her belly again.
It must be because of the baby.
Vermilion Bird also knew that Su Wan’s physical indicators were fine and therefore didn’t continue to fuss.
And when Gu Jue finished his work and returned to the bedroom, he saw his young wife lying there, her long hair scattered across the bed.
There was also a stack of documents beside her.
Vermilion Bird flew over, carefully collecting the documents.
Then it quietly flew out.
Gu Jue first leaned down to kiss the corner of his dainty wife’s lips, then went to the washroom to freshen up.
When he returned after washing up, he found his delicate wife suddenly sitting up, rubbing her eyes.
"Wanwan, what’s up?"
"Ajue, is your Manic-Depressive Period approaching again?"
Gu Jue had just taken a bath, his hair still slightly damp, as an unusual glint flashed in his eyes.
A single droplet of water fell, splashing onto the back of his hand.
He leaned in and kissed the corner of his little wife’s mouth, then hesitated before saying, "Wanwan, actually..."
"Ajue, where are your ears?"
Su Wan reached up, running her hand through his wet hair, coming up empty, her little face full of confusion.
Seeing her bewildered look, Gu Jue could hardly contain himself.
The fluffy tail crept over slowly, and in the next moment, Su Wan hugged it close.
As he leaned down to kiss her, Gu Jue spoke in a hoarse voice, "Wanwan..."
"Why don’t you call me ’sister’ anymore? You don’t know, it’s only at times like this that I feel I’m somewhat more dominant than you."
"...Sister."
**
When Su Wan woke up the next day, she faced the mirror, looking at the red marks.
She couldn’t help feeling that Ajue was a bit strange during his Manic-Depressive Period yesterday, wasn’t he?
But since she had been half-asleep last night, things were a bit blurry.
However, the memory of Ajue with red eyes, kissing her and calling her ’sister’, made Su Wan feel incredibly exhilarated!
Full of energy, she went to school only to hear that Su Man had been expelled.
Luo Jina said, "Xiaowan, you’ve really made a name for yourself now. I heard that someone turned the incident of you slapping Su Man into an animated GIF! I’ve saved several versions. Do you want them?"
"No thanks," said Su Wan, feeling a bit embarrassed.
But being famous was fine.
In fact, what she did to Su Man was nothing more than a warning to others.
As Gu Jue’s wife, there were still many voices of opposition.
Even though Gu Jue had taken action before, making the Interstellar Court arrest some people.
Everyone believed that was Gu Jue defending his wife.
But what Su Wan needed to do was to stand up for herself and become strong.
Otherwise, when Gu Jue couldn’t protect her, wouldn’t that group of people still jump out to bully her?
Sheng An was a bit worried, "Xiaowan, there are some rumors spreading around the school that aren’t very nice to you. They say Su Man was expelled because she caught the attention of Commander Gu, and you, out of jealous rage, hit her in public and had her expelled."
After hearing this, Su Wan just laughed, "Whoever is spreading that rumor, do they not have a brain? Do they think so little of Commander Gu’s tastes?"
At first listen, the comment seemed arrogant.
But it made sense!
Su Man was average in looks and didn’t excel in any notable area.
Her only skill was acting fragile and putting on a show.
But as the Federation’s top commander, could Gu Jue really be fooled by her little act?
It could be said that hardly anyone believed that rumor!
There was even a boy who, upon seeing the anonymous post, rolled his eyes and said,
"Even if the commander would consider me, he certainly wouldn’t go for a girl as utterly ordinary as her, who’s prone to causing drama, right?"
People around: "..."
Buddy, that was a bit much!
In fact, that post was made by Su Man herself.
Having lost everything, she was trying her best to make Su Wan miserable.
But in the end, she was the one who ended up looking foolish.
When Su Man got home, she cried in Du Weiwei’s arms until she was a tearful mess.
"Mom, what should I do? I’m not even a student of Empire University anymore. If I end up getting married off to a man in the Lower Star District, my life is over!"
Du Weiwei’s eyes were also filled with sorrow as she comforted her daughter.
Turned to Su Zhen, who was silent, Du Weiwei said, "Zhen, you have to say something! Su Wan has gone too far this time. She not only hit Xiaoman, but she even had the school expel her! Xiaoman didn’t do anything wrong; she just said a few words to her! Does Su Wan have a grudge against our Xiaoman? She wants to ruin her life!"
