Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 33: Reluctant to Part with the Lady in the Corner
Truth be told, everyone in the Empire Federation is curious about that!
Su Wan tilted her head, "We fell in love at first sight."
"But Commander Gu used to always wear a mask, right?"
"Oh, when I fell in love with him at first sight, he was not wearing a mask."
Luo Jina had a sudden realization, "I get it now, I’ve read some novels where it’s written like that. You saw what Commander Gu looks like beneath his mask, and then you had to take responsibility for him?"
Su Wan: "..." Miss, how many novels have you read? That’s quite classic, almost like those martial arts stories with melodramatic plots that she had read on Ancient Earth before.
Luo Jina was a bit uncomfortable as she said awkwardly, "Su Wan, about what I said during the opening ceremony, don’t take it to heart."
Su Wan smiled, "What words? I’ve forgotten them already."
Luo Jina was taken aback, then her haughty demeanor slowly melted away, replaced by a smile.
She found that being with Su Wan was very comfortable!
Just then, their dormitory door sounded, and Sheng An turned to open the door.
Standing outside was Su Wan’s sister, Su Man.
When Su Man saw Su Wan in the dormitory, she immediately said in a gentle tone, "Sister, you’re back. Dad said to go to the restaurant after school today, and there’s only one flyer, so shall we go together later?"
Su Wan: "Oh, you’re getting affectionate with me again, is it because you’re planning to set another trap for me? Let me guess, you actually came over to see if I was back, and if I wasn’t, you’d turn around and tell our parents that I didn’t return all night, skipped classes, and stuff like that?"
The smile on Su Man’s face stiffened, "Sister, what are you talking about, I’m just concerned about you."
"I appreciate your concern," Su Wan replied with a grin, and promptly shut the door right in her face.
The door closed so quickly that it almost smacked Su Man in the face!
Sheng An was already mentally prepared and was no longer surprised, but Luo Jina, who had a great relationship with her own sister, was very curious about how Su Wan and her sister interacted.
"You, you’re sisters, aren’t you?" she asked.
Even between sisters, the way they talk is so profound; every sentence seems like a fencing match.
Su Wan had already sent out the measurements for the small kitchen, arranging for the kitchen assembly.
She responded with an "Oh," "We don’t get along as sisters, so I’m quite envious of your relationship with the Empress."
"Of course! My sister and I are very close!" Luo Jina suddenly remembered something very important when speaking of her own sister.
The haughty look on her face disappeared, replaced with an awkward expression.
"Su Wan, since you married the Commander, and he is His Majesty’s own uncle, my sister is now also a generation younger than you, so I..."
That meant she would have to call Su Wan ’aunt’!
My goodness!
The conflict and awkwardness on Miss Luo’s face were practically tangible!
Unable to hide her amusement, Su Wan said, "We’re classmates; just call me by my name."
Luo Jina finally breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled, "My sister said you’re really easy to get along with, and she was right!"
Dismissive yesterday, today she’s calling her easy to get along with.
Su Wan didn’t know if it was because she married Commander Gu that changed things, but getting along harmoniously with her roommate wasn’t bad at all.
After finishing the afternoon classes, Su Wan went to the school gate, intending to take the public flyer to the Su Family restaurant.
That’s when she saw Huo Yichang standing at the school gate.
The two of them had parted on bad terms because of the marriage.
Since then, the Su Family and the Huo Family had broken off ties; it was said that the old masters of both families no longer played chess together. The once very close Su and Huo families from District Three were slowly drifting apart.
Su Wan acted as if she hadn’t seen him, but Huo Yichang took the initiative to come over and asked, "Waiting for the public flyer?"
"What’s wrong?"
"Where are you heading? I’ll take you."
In fact, the Su Family also had a flying vehicle, but Su Man had already left in it. Su Man was petty enough to try to use such a trivial matter to strike at Su Wan.
How naive and foolish.
Su Wan looked at the Huo Family’s flying vehicle and chuckled.
So what if you have a flying vehicle?
My family has a Royal Starship!
"No need, I’m worried it might cause some misunderstandings."
A trace of pain flashed in Huo Yichang’s eyes as he said earnestly, "Xiaowan, until now he hasn’t announced your identity to the public, is there any hidden reason? Doesn’t it make you sad to be treated this way?"
Su Wan smiled lightly, "On the day of my wedding, I was stood up. That’s already happened, so what’s there to be sad about over this little thing."
"Xiaowan! How many times do I have to tell you, the person I want to marry is you, not Xiaoman! Moreover, at that time she found me and asked me to save her. I thought you would understand, that you would get me, I..."
"I don’t want to understand you now, understanding my husband is enough."
Huo Yichang was about to say something more when suddenly a silver metallic sphere flew over.
It stopped in front of Su Wan and said respectfully, "Madam, I’ve come to take you home." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
It was the White Tiger.
The White Tiger had extremely high intelligence; it was said that it ranked within the top five throughout the entire Federal Empire.
And among the top ten artificial intelligence rankings of the Federal Empire, sometimes their abilities were not much different, just each specialized in different areas.
Su Wan didn’t expect White Tiger to come, but getting away from the annoying Huo Yichang was a very good thing.
She smiled at White Tiger and said, "Alright."
White Tiger, delighted, led Su Wan towards another silver-gray flying vehicle, and of course, it did not forget to snap a picture of Huo Yichang’s face on the way.
And forwarded it to its master Gu Jue, who was busy at the military headquarters.
Commander Gu, who was at the military headquarters formulating a plan to eradicate the invading Insect Clan, heard a beep on his brain-computer interface.
The officers sitting around the conference table all looked down at the documents in their hands.
Everyone kept their eyes straight ahead, but their ears unanimously turned towards Commander Gu’s direction.
At this time, to dare to send a message, could it be Commander Gu’s mysterious Empress?
Gu Jue lowered his eyes, looking at the photo sent by White Tiger and the accompanying text explanation.
White Tiger: Master, this little punk wants to hit on your woman. I’ve already dug up information on his family going back ten generations!
White Tiger: Oh, he’s the Empress’s former fiancé.
White Tiger: Objectively speaking, Master, you’re the one who seduced her away from him. But now it seems, the former fiance seems to have a hard time letting go of the Empress.
Gu Jue: ...
Gu Jue looked up, continuing the meeting with an indifferent expression.
"I will lead the team this time to eradicate them. The rest of you continue searching the city for remaining members of the Insect Clan. Also, keep a close watch on the ports in several star sectors."
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, another beep sounded from Gu Jue’s brain-computer interface.
This time, the message was indeed from Su Wan.
Su Wan: Commander Gu, White Tiger told me that you want me to move into your house?!
