Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 20 Commander Gu Actually Deceived His Own Wife?
Su Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had always known, after all, who would dare claim to not recognize Gu Jue, the Interstellar’s number one Commander?
But within the Imperial Palace, probably only His Majesty himself was familiar with him, given they were relatives.
If not him, then it would be the officers under Gu Jue’s command.
Clearly, Mr. G was just an ordinary employee working at the Imperial Palace and had no connection with Gu Jue, barely having any interaction with him.
Su Wan felt at ease now.
"Well, that’s settled then, goodbye Mr. G."
"Goodbye."
After terminating the communication, Gu Jue went to work on some documents, and White Tiger hesitated for a while before speaking up in a low voice, "Master, you just told several lies, but you are someone who never tells lies."
White Tiger thought indignantly, and what’s more, to deceive his own wife!
With his eyes half-lowered, Gu Jue replied, "She is afraid of me now; if I told the truth, she wouldn’t have talked to me for so long."
White Tiger checked the chat duration of that communication number, tsk, it was a full twenty-eight minutes.
The fact that the madam could chat with a stranger for twenty-eight minutes yet wasn’t too willing to respond to her master’s messages suddenly made him feel a bit of sympathy for the master.
However...
"Master, why did you decide to help the Su Family in the first place? That’s ancient history," White Tiger asked.
Its master definitely wasn’t interested in the Su Family restaurant’s food because, if not for the fear of starving to death, its master is the type of person who’s too lazy to even drink nutrient solution!
Picking up the documents, Gu Jue started to read, coldly ignoring White Tiger.

On the other end, Su Wan turned to report this good news to her grandfather.
With Mr. G’s help, they had nothing to fear from any troubles stirred up by the Huo Family.
When Su Lao, the grand patriarch, asked what Mr. G was like, Su Wan thought for a moment and said, "He didn’t turn on the projection, but judging by his voice, he should be in his thirties or forties, somewhat gentle. I guess he’s probably a civilian worker in the Imperial Palace. He said he really enjoys the food from our Su Family restaurant. Once the First Star District branch opens up, I’ll personally cook for him!"
Seeing that Su Wan was in high spirits, Su Lao smiled kindly, "You can cook, and you’ve never cooked for your grandfather to try."
"I was afraid grandpa might not like it. I’ve learned quite a lot these past two years. How about today I cook a couple of dishes for you to try?" Su Wan smiled sweetly.
To make the fact that she had learned to cook seem more plausible, Su Wan had spent the past two years recuperating while earnestly "learning how to cook."
Shaking his head, Su Lao said, "It’s too late today, eating too much can cause indigestion. Let’s do it tomorrow."
"All right, Grandpa."
As Su Wan stepped out of the old master’s study, planning to grab some ingredients from the kitchen, she ran into Lin Ranyue, who was chopping vegetables.
Even though there were domestic robots available, the members of the Su Family still preferred to cook their own meals.
Lin Ranyue was chopping vegetables with a kitchen knife, with the ’disabled but determined’ Su Man standing by her side.
With her eyes reddened, Su Man complained, "Mom, I really didn’t mean for things to go wrong, and I never expected that in my panic I would dial Brother Huo’s communication. Can you please stop being angry with me?"
Lin Ranyue chopped the carrots forcefully, turning them into fine bits.
She scoffed, "You seemed to be quite methodical in your panic, huh? Out of everyone’s communication to dial, you just had to dial the groom’s? Now that Huo Yichang is not marrying Xiaowan, you’re happy, right?"
"Mom, I didn’t, I really didn’t..."
"I am not your mother, don’t call me that!"
