Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 153: You Can’t Just Provoke Me and Run Away
"Let’s wait for Xiaolei to contact us."
Can a marriage unacknowledged by the elders ever last?
Ha!
Lin Ranyue had been married once before. In her second marriage, she would definitely be more cautious and value it more.
She could never find a better man than Xiaolei!
As for the Commander’s wife, she’s just a young girl after all.
She’s probably just worried about her mother; that’s why she’s sticking her nose in.
But can she really interfere in her mother’s marriage?
Next to him, a man with slightly less white hair nodded, "As long as Lin Ranyue and Xiaolei truly register their marriage, she will become a part of the Mu Family, and we will have the right to manage her."
"But we can’t go too far. After all, we must give Commander Gu respect."
"Yes, yes."

Su Wan and her companions were once again aboard a spaceship.
Having spent too much time on the spaceship today, Su Wan felt uncomfortable, with a slight bloating in her stomach.
She gently stroked her lower abdomen.
"Little one, be good. If you’re not comfortable, go to sleep."
Curious, Mu Xiaoge asked, "Xiaowan, can he already hear you speak?"
Su Wan: "I don’t know."
"..." Raising his eyebrows, Mu Xiaoge looked like a giant curious baby. "Xiaowan, are you sure your baby is a Beastman?"
"Mhm."
"What type of completed Beast Transformation will it be? Could it be like me?"
Su Wan rolled her eyes without a word.
"With that statement, if you dare say it in front of Ajue, I don’t know if I’ll be okay, but you’ll definitely be sent to a remote planet to mine."
"Hey hey, that’s not what I meant! I mean, aren’t I his uncle?"
Su Wan looked indifferent, "Not by blood."
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoge felt so wronged he was almost on the verge of crying!
He wished he was Xiaowan’s real brother too, but something went wrong during his reincarnation.
It wasn’t meant to be at birth, so he had to settle for becoming her brother later in life.
Su Wan knew Mu Xiaoge meant no harm. Seeing him so downcast, she finally said, "However, once the baby is born, you can teach him how to control a mecha."
Mu Xiaoge’s eyes instantly lit up again!
"I think that’s a great idea! The Commander will be very busy every day and won’t have time for the baby. I’ll keep him company!"
Watching Mu Xiaoge’s dimpled smile, Su Wan smiled faintly.
Then she turned her head to look at her mother and the Director Mu sitting not far away.
Su Wan felt that her mother probably wasn’t completely oblivious to the Mu family’s disdain.
Sure enough, Mu Lei gently held Lin Ranyue’s hand and apologized seriously, "Ranyue, I’m sorry."
With a relaxed expression still on her face, Lin Ranyue said, "I was already prepared for the possibility that we wouldn’t be able to get married. Frankly, when I heard about Ouyang Qing and Mu Qingyu, I knew your family wouldn’t be easy to get along with."
"Ranyue..."
"No problem. If it doesn’t work out, we don’t have to get married, and being in a relationship like this is pretty good. The worst-case scenario is that we just break up."
"..."
Unable to restrain himself, Mu Lei squeezed her hand tightly. Lin Ranyue frowned and glared at him, and only then did he loosen his grip.
Mu Lei: "Don’t even think about breaking up! When we return to the main star, I’ll go to the Lin Family to ask for your hand in marriage. I have a house in the First Star District, not far from Commander Gu’s mansion. You can visit Xiaowan often too."
Lin Ranyue speechless: "Who said I’d marry you?"
Mu Lei: "All my personal assets, including future wages and rewards, will be managed by you."
Lin Ranyue was about to refuse but became curious. "How much money do you have?"
Mu Lei began to open his personal light-brain and showed Lin Ranyue his personal wealth.
It has to be said that, although it couldn’t compare to the wealth a son-in-law gave to his daughter, which took quite a while to count the zeroes,
Mu Lei’s assets were already quite substantial!
Lin Ranyue knew that her ex-husband Su Zhen had his own private treasury, and since she had dividends from the Su Family hotels, as well as income from investment and financial management of her dowry, she never asked Su Zhen for money.
Even during the divorce, she didn’t ask for it.
But Lin Ranyue knew how much money was in Su Zhen’s private treasury.
Without comparison, there’s no hurt.
The money in Su Zhen’s private treasury was just spare change compared to Mu Lei’s wealth...
**
After arriving on N69 Planet, Mu Lei had already booked the rooms in advance.
He and Lin Ranyue shared one room; then there was one for Su Wan, and another for Mu Xiaoge.
Lin Ranyue wanted to take her daughter to the sea of flowers for photography, while Mu Lei just smiled without a word.
It happened that Mu Xiaoge suddenly had a stroke of inspiration, as he said to Su Wan, "Xiaowan, there’s an Underground Mecha Fighting Arena here, do you want to check it out?"
And, to be fair, Su Wan was actually interested in this underground arena.
After all, the look on Director Mu’s face was obviously one who wanted to spend some alone time with her mom...
Forget it, she decided not to be the third wheel.
While the Mu Family might be difficult to get along with, Director Mu was really good to her mom.
And at this time, the two must have many private words to chat about, surely.
Su Wan nodded, "Okay, I’ll go with you to the underground arena."
Mu Xiaoge was very happy, "Actually, the matches we had at school were just scratching the surface. Once you get to the underground PK arena, you’ll understand what real combat is like."
Su Wan: "Yeah, I get it. We are students of the military academy, but since we’ve never been to a real battlefield, we are but showpieces."
"Exactly, that’s the point!"
Mu Xiaoge felt like he had found a kindred spirit and was almost going to slap her on the back in agreement.
But remembering that this was his delicate sister and not a tough, resistant brother, he timely restrained his hand.
However, he said, "Xiaowan, it’s a bit messy inside, so go change into some clothes that are convenient for fighting. Also, tie up your hair. Once we’re at the Mech Combat Arena, stick close to me."
"Sure."
Su Wan was currently wearing an elegant evening dress with a fishtail hem, her hair slightly curled and draped down, her makeup delicate.
She had dressed formally, thinking she was visiting the Mu Family, and didn’t want to be impolite.
But who could have expected those old fuddy-duddies of the Mu Family to snub her mother?
Naturally, Su Wan’s impression of them was just getting worse and worse.
Su Wan changed into a practical black utility jacket and pants, paired with black boots that shone.
She tied her long hair up into a ponytail, then twisted it up and secured it with a baseball cap.
The beautiful sister was transformed into a cool and handsome brother.
Mu Xiaoge’s smile split wide, radiant.
"Let’s go, bro will take you to watch a fight!"
With Su Wan following Mu Xiaoge, Lin Ranyue was a bit worried at first.
Mu Lei reassured her, "Don’t worry, although Xiaoge appears careless, he’s actually quite meticulous. His spiritual power and combat ability are both strong, they won’t run into any trouble."
"Alright then, I also know that the kids are leaving us space to have our alone time."
Lin Ranyue lifted her head and gazed at the beautiful sea of flowers.
A sea of purple flowers, dreamlike and surreal.
Mu Lei walked over, embraced her from behind, and said softly, "Lin Ranyue, you were the one who approached me first, so you can’t just flirt and run away."
"But your family members..."
"Do you know why I never wanted to get married? It’s because it’s too bothersome with them. In their eyes, I am nothing more than a walking collection of top-tier genes."
