Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 19 Do You Know Commander Gu?

The adjutants around him also held their breaths, watching anxiously their frosty Commander.

At this moment, the Commander was in a foul mood. Whoever dared to call through at this time would be unfortunate!

White Tiger whispered into Gu Jue’s ear, "Master, you left a spare communication number for the Su Family. The lady has called in. I am not sure if she knows about the things you have done before... Do you want to answer it?"

Gu Jue’s expression didn’t change as he looked up at everyone and said, "Dismissed."

After speaking, he turned and entered his private rest room next door, much to everyone’s astonishment.

Gu Jue casually unbuttoned the top of his military uniform, revealing his Adam’s apple moving up and down. He said, "Connect."

He paused, then added another line.

"No projection."

"Yes!"

Su Wan, who was lying on the soft big bed, swung her legs boredly.

She organized her thoughts silently.

First thing was to ask why he had helped the Su Family, which was, of course, very important.

But more important was making sure the person had no ties to Gu Jue!

Then, she’d think about how to persuade him to help their family through this difficulty. Perhaps they’d have to provide some compensation, but that was only to be expected.

As long as the demands were not too excessive, she would agree to them.

At this moment, the communication connected.

Su Wan quickly sat up straight, only to realize that the projection on the other end wasn’t on, just pitch darkness.

She figured that a person of high standing was probably just being cautious, especially being employed at the Imperial Palace.

In a respectful tone, Su Wan greeted, "Hello, I am Su Wan from the Su Family restaurant. I am very grateful for your help before."

Gu Jue looked at the girl on the screen, dressed in a proper and decent dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders, docile and gentle, not at all like someone who would marry at random.

He had earlier asked White Tiger to activate the voice changer. His originally deep voice now sounded warmly mature.

"It was nothing."

"Your small gesture was a great help to our family. May I ask why you helped the Su Family?"

"I... enjoy the dishes from the Su Family restaurant."

Understanding dawned on Su Wan; he was a fan of the Su Family restaurant. Her tone lightened up too.

"Oh, that’s quite lucky then. Our family is about to open a branch in District One. Your home is in District One, right? You’ll be able to enjoy our food more often."

"Hmm."

Although the person was quite reticent, his fondness for the Su Family restaurant’s cuisine somehow bridged the distance between them.

Their conversation went smoothly, with Su Wan doing most of the talking and the other person replying with just a few words.

After chatting for a while, Su Wan got to the point, "Our family’s restaurant will face some difficulties with the supply of fruits and vegetables in the short term. Could you help us once more? Of course, it’s a sudden request. If it’s too much trouble, we can think of..."

"I can."

The voice was soft and comforting, almost like the sound of a cello echoing in one’s heart.

And he agreed so readily!

Su Wan liked good-looking people and those with pleasant voices. Naturally, she expressed her gratitude again.

But before hanging up, she cautiously asked, "Sir, may I know how to address you?"

"You can call me Mr. G."

"Then do you know Commander Gu Jue?"

"I do not."

The response came too quickly, making Su Wan pause. Her beautiful eyes widened, eyelashes trembling with confusion.

Gu Jue’s brow furrowed as he added, "I mean, I am not familiar with him."
