Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 25 Your Husband Seems Like the First Commander
Su Man had already witnessed Su Wan’s prowess and she quickly said, "No, no, I wouldn’t think like that."
But Su Wan said, "Xiaoman, even though you are our adopted sister, after living together for so long, I’ve come to think of you as my own sister. So Dad, how can you let me laze around while Xiaoman works so hard? Besides, my health has gotten a lot better, and it’s not good to keep hiding at home. How about this, let’s both go to the First Star District branch to take a look and take over together. Whoever does better will eventually be in charge of managing the branch. How does that sound?"
Su Zhen actually gave it some serious thought, feeling that his daughter made a lot of sense.
The old Mr. Su even smiled approvingly, "I think Xiaowan’s method is not bad."
Lin Ranyue didn’t quite understand, but as long as Xiaowan wasn’t at a disadvantage right now, it was fine.
However, Su Man was a bit anxious. She had already agreed with Su Zhen to be in charge of the First Star District branch, but now, out of the blue, she had to run it with Su Wan, which made her feel uneasy.
Most importantly, this Su Wan was getting more and more unpredictable, and Su Man really didn’t want any more surprises!
She was a bit anxious to say something to Su Zhen, but then Su Wan had the domestic robot switch on the large screen in the dining room, broadcasting today’s important news.
The presenter was an extremely beautiful Beastman with a pair of rabbit ears, one standing up and one drooping, making one want to pinch them.
She reported with great excitement, "Our Federal Empire’s bravest, most magnificent Commander, Gu Jue, actually appeared without his mask! There had been much speculation among the public about his appearance, and the result surprised everyone!"
Afterward, the presenter interviewed several people, all of whom were very excited, because none of them had expected the Commander to be... so good-looking! Handsome enough to make knees go weak!
And the Su Family, who were eating, were stunned when they saw the unmasked Commander Gu on the screen!
With a "click".
The chopsticks in the hands of the old Mr. Su dropped to the floor, and he looked at his granddaughter with a complex expression... Su Wan immediately buried her head in her meal, avoiding a collision with Grandpa’s gaze for the time being.
Of all the Su Family members, only Lin Ranyue was a bit more composed at the moment; she had been shocked when she first learned the truth, but now, seeing her husband and his reaction, she felt oddly balanced.
However, the person with the strongest reaction was Su Man.
Su Man’s mouth twitched, and she gripped her chopsticks tightly, as if she was going to snap them!
She turned to look at Su Wan, her eyes wide, forgetting her usual facade, and asked tentatively, "The person you married that day... is he a relative of Commander Gu?"
Su Man wasn’t present at the time, but she watched the wedding video later.
She was happily waiting to see Su Wan make a fool of herself, but to her surprise, Su Wan had switched grooms at the last minute, and most importantly, the new groom was even more handsome than Huo Yichang!
Su Wan was feeling a bit regretful for marrying Gu Jue in a daze that day, but seeing Su Man’s expression now, she felt quite pleased.
Picking up the lemon water beside her, she took a sip and said leisurely, "He’s not a relative."
Su Man sighed with relief; so they just looked alike.
She forced a dry smile, "He does look a bit like him."
The next moment, Su Wan said slowly, "Be bold and guess, it’s not just a resemblance, it is him."
Su Man: !!!!!!!!
Now, nobody could eat their meal anymore, and the old Mr. Su said with a complex look in his eyes, "What exactly is going on?"
Glancing at Su Man, Su Wan related, "Didn’t Huo Yichang have some trouble that prevented him from returning for the marriage? Then... I met Commander Gu and it was love at first sight, so we got married."
The old Mr. Su squinted his eyes, feeling that there was something off about his granddaughter’s story.
But Su Zhen said, "Xiaowan, why didn’t you say so earlier? We all neglected Commander Gu; is he angry?"
Su Wan continued to make up lies, "Oh, it’s fine, he had official duties and left first. We have agreed to meet in a few days in the First Star District."
Su Zhen nodded, "Alright, I’ll take you there on the first day of school."
He hadn’t planned on taking Su Wan before, but now it was different, the son-in-law was the Commander himself!
Finally, the old Mr. Su decided, the whole family would go out to see off Su Wan that day!
Su Wan’s lips twitched, "I’m not sure if Ajue will be available that day, should I contact him in advance to ask?"
The Su Family patriarch nodded gravely, "Yes, it’s wise to ask beforehand since he’s indeed a very busy person of high status."
Su Wan had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
After all, she could just turn around and say that Gu Jue didn’t have time.
But when she was about to return to her room, she was stopped by Su Man.
With red eyes and gritted teeth, Su Man said, "Were you together with Commander all along and never intended to marry Huo Yichang?"
If that was true, then why on earth had she bothered to use that bitter ruse!
Seeing the anger on Su Man’s face, Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh.
"So, my dear sister, I really should thank you a lot!"
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Brother Huo?"
"If I were afraid, would I tell you?"
Su Wan turned to leave, while Su Man stood rooted to the spot, her complexion growing darker by the second.
If Su Wan truly hated losing Huo Yichang, she probably would be in abject misery, crying all day long.
But she wasn’t. Despite having run away from the wedding, she quickly fought a splendid battle.
The only trouble now was what exactly Commander was thinking.
Forget it, let’s just take one step at a time.
But as it turned out, taking one step at a time was difficult. Su Wan’s holobrain rang instantly, a call from Huo Yichang.
This was the second time Huo Yichang reached out through a call, and evidently, he must have recognized Gu Jue.
Su Wan didn’t want to answer.
Then Huo Yichang’s message came through.
Huo Yichang: If you don’t pick up, I’m coming to your place to find you!
Su Wan felt that Huo Yichang hadn’t been this enthusiastically persistent before. Why was he suddenly being so insistent?
After connecting, she asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Is the news I heard true?"
"What news?"
"About the Commander-in-Chief! Is he, is he really the one you married that day?" Huo Yichang felt a massive blow, his heart filled with intense grief and anger.
Su Wan was supposed to be his wife! Huo Yichang felt his emotions had been deceived!
He had been comforting himself these past few days, thinking that Su Wan would divorce that man once she cooled off and that he’d be willing to remarry her.
If it came down to it, they could sort it out once both were at Empire University.
There would always be a way to resolve it, for Su Wan loved him so.
But who could have imagined that the groom would be the Commander-in-Chief!
Su Wan scoffed coldly, "Huo Yichang, do you even have the right to be angry with me? What, you’re allowed to stand me up on your wedding day, but I’m not allowed to marry someone else? Have some shame, will you?"
"Su Wan! Didn’t you say you loved me before! Why can’t you even forgive me for such a small thing!"
