Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 30: Master is not in a hurry, but the system is anxious to death

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Master is not in a hurry, but the system is anxious to death

Gu Jue lifted his head, his eyes sharply fixed on Su Wan, "Who said that?"

Su Wan was taken aback, "Aren’t you looking for me to get a divorce?"

Gu Jue shook his head, "No divorce."

Su Wan fell silent.

The Sword of Damocles finally came down but missed its mark, leaving Su Wan even more befuddled; she had no idea what Gu Jue was really thinking.

White Tiger came over with two cups of boiled water, placing one beside Su Wan and one beside Gu Jue.

Watching its master turn a perfectly good day into a life-and-death conversation, it really worried White Tiger to death!

It’s just like the saying goes, "The master isn’t in a hurry, but the system dies of anxiety!"

White Tiger’s electronic eye kept winking at Gu Jue, who frowned: "I didn’t say I wanted boiled water."

White Tiger: "...Master, this is ’the wife sings, the husband follows’!"

Gu Jue: "..."

Su Wan was just drinking water when she heard White Tiger’s words and almost spit it out!

She hurriedly apologized and picked up the napkin beside her to wipe the corner of her mouth, deciding to clarify things.

"Commander Gu, do you mean that our marriage is to continue to exist?"

Gu Jue set down his cup and narrowed his eyes at Su Wan, his brows slightly furrowed, appearing a bit displeased.

Su Wan: "..." Did she say something wrong?

Gu Jue regarded her for a while before saying, "You don’t want to continue?"

"No, not really."

Su Wan felt that conversing with this big shot was truly vexing.

Please someone take this big shot away; how she missed the fluffy, milky Ajue!

Just then, the light computer on Gu Jue’s wrist beeped, and White Tiger immediately spoke up, "Master, it’s almost time for your appointment with Her Majesty."

"Mhm." Gu Jue stood up, casually picking up his military cap to wear.

Su Wan’s heart leaped for joy. Hey, Gu Jue was going to the Imperial Palace to see Her Majesty, so does that mean their meeting could be over?

Since the other party doesn’t want a divorce for now, then no divorce it is.

After all, the two of them are like two parallel lines that rarely intersect, and they are essentially just bearing the title of husband and wife.

She wouldn’t be pressured into marriage in the future and could enjoy the freedom of being alone, which was nothing short of perfect!

"Do you want to change into a different outfit?" Gu Jue walked a few steps, then realizing Su Wan wasn’t following, he turned around to see her standing there with a suspicious smile on her lips.

Su Wan was stunned, "Change clothes?"

"Actually, what you’re wearing is fine for going to the Imperial Palace."

Su Wan’s eyes suddenly narrowed, "Commander Gu, do you mean to say that you’re taking me to the Imperial Palace?"

"Hmm, Zilan mentioned he’s never met you. It’s a good opportunity for him to see you, and by the way, for him to give you a red envelope."

"..."

Ten minutes later, Su Wan was sitting in Gu Jue’s exclusive aircraft, a cup of juice at her side, still questioning her life until now.

How did it come to this, going to the Imperial Palace?

She turned her head to look at the man seated beside her.

The man had looked tired ever since earlier, lightly resting one hand against his forehead, half-closed eyes, with a cluster of shadows beneath the long lashes.

As the number one Commander of the Interstellar, he must surely be very busy and very tired.

And actually, with his eyes closed, because the aggressiveness seemed diminished, he rather resembled Ajue.

At that moment, Gu Jue suddenly opened his eyes. Su Wan was taken aback and quickly took her cup of water to conceal her peeping.

Gu Jue frowned, "Are you afraid of me?"

"No, it’s not fear, it’s respect."

"So, during my Manic-Depressive Period, did you respect me too?"

Su Wan’s hand holding the cup paused, and she tentatively asked, "Do you not remember anything that happened that night?"

"I only remember that it was you who initiated the marriage proposal."

"..."

Looking at her indignant expression, Gu Jue’s heart softened, but his face still held a cool expression.

He said, "I didn’t refuse either."

Feeling somewhat desperate, Su Wan said, "So, Commander Gu, you’re also satisfied with the wedding and don’t plan on leaving me for now, is that it?"

"Hmm."

Regardless, now that Su Wan knew the other party had no immediate plans for divorce, she realized that once they arrived at the Imperial Palace, she would have to play along with Gu Jue.

She said, "Then let’s maintain our marital status for now. When we are before His Majesty, how would you like me to cooperate with you?"

"Just tell the truth."

"Do I say that I married you out of love at first sight because I was worried about being assigned a husband forcefully?" Su Wan regretted her words as soon as she spoke.

The first part of her sentence was true, but it sounded hurtful.

The second part was also true, but it didn’t sound very dignified.

As expected, Gu Jue’s brow furrowed slightly, and he said, "Just say the second half."

Su Wan: ???

White Tiger, at their side, could hardly bear to listen anymore!

In a particularly considerate manner, it explained, "Mistress, when the time comes, just directly say you fell in love at first sight, no need to say more."

Su Wan glanced at Gu Jue’s cool profile and thought that made sense.

Saying anything else might indeed damage the imperial family’s dignity.

Thus, with a heart full of unease, Su Wan entered the Imperial Palace of the Federal Empire for the first time in her life.

Unlike other high-tech buildings, some parts of the Imperial Palace still retained architectural styles from Ancient Earth; however, this was only the exterior. Once inside, it was still walls of high-tech glass and metal.

Some people in military uniforms stopped one after another to salute Gu Jue, and Su Wan, following beside him, experienced what it was like to gain respect through association.

Li Rui and Eric, just exiting the Imperial Palace, also saluted Gu Jue, and Su Wan faintly remembered them; they had attended their wedding.

Su Wan nodded to them kindly, and after a moment of thought, Li Rui saluted her as well, "Greetings, Madam."

Eric, startled, also followed with a louder voice, "Greetings, Commander’s wife!"

Su Wan was still not accustomed to the title, and her smile faltered.

At that moment, Gu Jue suddenly extended his arm, draping it over her shoulder, and accompanied her inside. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Don’t be afraid," he said softly.

Su Wan really wanted to say that she wasn’t scared, just a bit surprised.

And could you please walk slower, your long legs are too much for my shorter ones to keep up with!

However, she only muttered these complaints to herself. Fortunately, after a few steps, Gu Jue realized Su Wan was struggling to keep up and slowed his pace.

Soon, they reached a resplendent reception room with crimson leather sofas, pretty patterned carpets, and shelves decorated with porcelain Su Wan had seen on Ancient Earth.

These were extremely precious items!

The Emperor and Empress were already seated in their formal attire, seemingly having been waiting for a while.

Su Wan had seen Queen Luo Manya in interstellar news videos before; Gu Zilan was handsome and refined, while the Empress had the same red curls as her sister.

However, her eyes and expression were gentler, making her seem much more approachable than Luo Jina.

As Su Wan followed Gu Jue into the room, the Imperial couple immediately stood up. Gu Zilan quickly advanced a few steps, his gaze settling on the military academy uniform Su Wan wore.

"Is she from Empire University?"

"Yes, call her ’Auntie.’"

"..."
