Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 31 What to Do When the Exclusive Medicine Stops Working
Gu Zilan glanced at the young woman in her early twenties, beautiful and innocent, then back at the serious expression on his little uncle’s face.
He was at a loss for words.
For Su Wan, it was even more embarrassing; she looked at the emperor and empress as if they had been struck by lightning and couldn’t help herself; she reached out to tug on Gu Jue’s sleeve.
The usually stoic Commander lowered his gaze to this small action, his heart softening a bit.
But his eyes held a trace of confusion as if asking what was wrong.
Su Wan: "..."
This massive social-death scene, better for a thunderbolt to strike and send her back through time again!
Luckily, at this moment, the gentle Queen Luo Manya approached and said affectionately to Su Wan, "Little auntie, what’s your major? My sister, Luo Jina, is also a freshman at Empire University this year, studying in the medical department."
Su Wan hurriedly replied, "What a coincidence, I’m in the same dormitory as Luo Jina, and we are in the same major."
With that, the conversation flowed.
Thank you, Miss Luo.
Luo Manya led Su Wan to a nearby sofa to sit down, and had a robot bring some juice over.
The awkward atmosphere from before quickly dissipated; Gu Zilan also relaxed, looking a bit resentfully at his little uncle, "Have you thought about when you want to hold the wedding?"
He hadn’t been able to attend his only uncle’s wedding, which had kept Gu Zilan awake for several nights.
Before taking a tour of the universe, his royal parents had instructed him to take good care of his little uncle; yet, unbeknownst to him, his little uncle had gone and gotten married... oh no, tied the knot, without a sound.
Gu Jue: "Let’s talk about that later; I’m busy recently."
"Oh," Gu Zilan wanted to chat about something else, but Gu Jue seemed quite tired.
He asked, "Anything else?"
"...No."
"You haven’t forgotten anything, have you?"
Gu Zilan, under the cold and indifferent gaze of his little uncle, suddenly remembered something important.
He immediately had someone bring out a dark blue gift box, the size of a palm, with a metallic frame around it shining with golden light.
Su Wan glanced at it, and the frame might actually be made of gold.
She didn’t immediately accept the gift but looked at Gu Jue first; after he nodded, she then reached out and took it.
She couldn’t help but feel that this was similar to a child needing an adult’s permission before accepting a gift from someone else...
The two finally left the Imperial Palace together. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Once they were back on Gu Jue’s flying vehicle, Su Wan let out a sigh of relief and slumped down.
She whispered, "Why did you let the Emperor call me auntie? He is the Emperor, after all."
"I am his uncle, and besides, the meeting just now was a private one amongst family."
Su Wan understood but still found it hard to accept.
Not only did the Emperor have to call her little auntie, but also send a wedding gift; truly unfortunate.
Well, the embarrassment was over; no need to recall it and make herself uncomfortable again.
She took out the gift box they had received earlier and handed it to Gu Jue, "You keep this thing."
Gu Jue appeared extremely weary, his half-closed eyes slowly opening, his fair skin blushing with a hint of pink.
"Not going to open it and have a look?"
Actually, Su Wan was also curious; after all, it was a gift from the Emperor.
Let’s have a look, then.
She snapped open the clasp and lifted the lid, revealing a palm-sized mechanical button
Colorful and quite beautiful.
She paused, "What’s this?"
"The controller of the private starship is of the highest grade, equipped with the Royal Family emblem of the Federal Empire. No force would dare to block its way."
"Wow! Can it travel around the universe?"
Looking at Su Wan’s bright and shining eyes, Gu Jue felt his heart soften again. He hummed in agreement, "Yes, my royal brother and his wife have been traveling for years, but I’ve been busy recently."
Su Wan: "..."
No, boss, I didn’t say I wanted to travel the universe with you!
She checked the time and it was already late. She had a class early the next morning and needed to return to the university. Suddenly, she felt something was amiss.
When Su Wan looked down, she found a very familiar fluffy tail skillfully hooking onto her military boots!
It probably wanted to hook around her calf, but the boots blocked it and the tail seemed a bit annoyed as it twisted and turned.
"Commander, what is this..."
"Manic-Depressive Period."
"Manic-Depressive Period? Hasn’t your Manic-Depressive Period already passed this year? Where is the exclusive medicine? White Tiger, where is the exclusive medicine?"
No sooner had she spoken than the man beside her suddenly collapsed with a crash right on top of her!
Su Wan gritted her teeth in pain since the other person was a nearly 1.9 meters tall man!
After stabilizing herself, she suddenly felt an itch on her face—it was those extremely soft and fluffy ears.
"Sister..."
The man leaning into Su Wan’s arms had eyes that seemed to be misted with a layer of water. He murmured softly, holding on to Su Wan as if he had no sense of security.
That familiar feeling hit her again.
It was Ajue.
Su Wan quickly supported him, looking around in a panic, and urgently said, "White Tiger, your master is like this, and you’re playing dead?"
White Tiger immediately responded, "Madam, I am not playing dead. My master is different from normal Beastmen. He has a Manic-Depressive Period almost every month."
"Once a month? Then, where is the exclusive medicine?"
"It doesn’t work anymore."
Su Wan felt her ears buzz too, suddenly having a bad premonition!
"Doesn’t work anymore, what do you mean by that?"
"It means that after you became his exclusive medicine, none of the other exclusive medicines work anymore."
"..."
At this time, Ajue lifted his head, his eyes watery, and said with a pitiful voice, "Sister, are you leaving me?"
Su Wan’s feelings were complicated as she tried to bargain, "Can I go?"
The next moment, tears started to well up in Ajue’s beautiful eyes, rolling down his pale cheeks one by one.
With a plink, they landed on the back of Su Wan’s hand.
It felt as if they had landed right on her heart.
Indeed, in such a situation, could she leave?
Su Wan soothingly kissed Ajue’s forehead, which relaxed him a bit, but his cheeks were flushed red, and his palms sweaty.
He clung to Su Wan with strong dependency, resting his chin on her shoulder.
Su Wan asked White Tiger, "Which direction is the flying vehicle headed now?"
"The master told me before, we are flying back to his residence."
It’s likely that Gu Jue sensed his Manic-Depressive Period coming on, which is why he made his excuses to Zilan and his friends and left with Su Wan.
Su Wan looked at the big boy sticking to her in her arms and thought a bit gloomily, Gu Jue wouldn’t divorce her—seems like he intends to keep her as a long-term ’exclusive medicine’!
But she rubbed the fluffy tail and ultimately couldn’t bring herself to push Ajue away.
