Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 39 So, You Have to Take Responsibility
The hangover soup wasn’t difficult to make, nor did it require many ingredients.
So, once the purchased items had arrived, Su Wan quickly finished preparing it.
She asked the White Tiger to carry it over, but the White Tiger immediately said, "I’m sorry, Ma’am, I need to trim the lawn in the yard. Could I trouble you to take it to the Master?"
Su Wan looked at the palm-sized metal ball. The electronic eyes of the other party seemed genuinely serious.
"Don’t we have household robots?"
"They’re all too clumsy and can’t do the job well. I always have to direct them myself. Ah, it can’t be helped. Who made me the highest in intelligence?"
"..." Su Wan could only helplessly say, "Okay then."
It’s not like she could tell the White Tiger that she was a bit afraid to be alone in a space with Gu Jue, right?
But at the same time, she missed the milky, fluffy Ajue greatly.
With such conflicted emotions, Su Wan carried the hangover soup into the bedroom.
To her surprise, she found the dark blue bed empty.
The next moment, the glass door of the bathroom behind her was pushed open, and Gu Jue stepped out.
Wrapped loosely around his waist with just a white towel, he looked quite casual as he held another white towel in his hands, drying his wet, cropped hair.
The silvery-grey strands of hair, tangled together, actually diluted the cold aura around Gu Jue quite a bit.
Especially... Su Wan’s eyes landed on those fluffy ears and found it difficult to look away.
Gu Jue sensed her gaze and subconsciously twitched his ears slightly, the skin at the base turning slowly pink.
It was only then that Su Wan snapped back to reality, "Sorry, I thought..."
"You thought what?"
"I thought you only show your ears and tail during your Manic-Depressive Period," Su Wan said, her gaze inadvertently drifting below the towel wrapped around him.
Yikes, she couldn’t see anything.
The corners of Gu Jue’s lips twitched slightly, his pupils seemed to narrow a bit, and he was somewhat surprised by his own reaction.
After all, Beastmen are only like this during their Manic-Depressive Period.
But when Gu Jue thought about Su Wan’s fear of him, he suppressed the burgeoning restlessness in his heart.
His eyes landed on the hangover soup in Su Wan’s hands, "You made this for me?"
"Oh, yes, drink it before it gets cold."
Although Su Wan felt he might not need it now, it was a good way to avoid continuing the dangerous topic from before.
Gu Jue had grown accustomed to alcohol, so naturally, he wouldn’t suffer from a hangover, but he definitely wanted to drink the hangover soup Su Wan made with her own hands.
Watching him finish the soup and become much more sober, Su Wan said, "Ajue, earlier at the Su Family restaurant, you mentioned that we should talk about that matter when we got back home."
Gu Jue placed the bowl on the side table, making a clanging sound.
He glanced up slightly, observing his little wife sitting seriously and stiffly on the opposite couch.
"Xiaowan, do you dislike me?"
"Ah, of course not." Su Wan shook her head.
She really liked Ajue and had indeed been impulsively driven to marry due to love at first sight.
And although Su Wan was somewhat afraid of Commander Gu, she also knew the blood he carried came from the battles he fought.
If not for soldiers like Gu Jue risking their lives to protect the planet, ordinary residents like them wouldn’t live in peace.
So, in any case, Su Wan definitely didn’t dislike Gu Jue.
She looked up at Gu Jue, "Then are you refusing to divorce me because of your Manic-Depressive Period, unable to use the exclusive medicine anymore?"
Gu Jue watched her silently.
Su Wan, observing his gem-like eyes, pursed the corners of her mouth before adding, "Of course, I share the responsibility too, but I didn’t know that you won’t be able to use the exclusive medicine in the future."
Gu Jue slowly began to speak, "So, you have to take responsibility."
"Why me?"
"Because it was you who chose me in the beginning."
Su Wan fell silent.
Back then, during Gu Jue’s Manic-Depressive Period, if he had been with someone else, the exclusive medicine at this moment wouldn’t have been her.
But to directly talk about responsibility or something felt really weird.
Just at that moment, Gu Jue yawned, "I’m a bit tired and need to rest. I have to go to an extraterrestrial planet early tomorrow, so there’s a guest room next door. If you need anything, just ask the White Tiger."
Su Wan was stunned, she felt like he was avoiding the question.
But, since they were not planning to divorce now, it seemed that they could only muddle through this for the time being?
Moreover, hearing that Gu Jue had official business which probably wouldn’t bring him back anytime soon, Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief, and her heart also lightened.
She nodded, "Okay, I’ll stay at school when you’re away. Is that alright?"
"Hmm," Gu Jue replied, his eyes half-closed, looking very sleepy.
Su Wan’s mood lightened along with him. No matter what, the two of them had basically settled on a way to live together.
Just like Gu Jue said, she also had a responsibility towards the matter of the exclusive medicine.
"Ajue, goodnight."
Su Wan, carrying the empty bowl that had held the sobering soup, stepped out with a light gait.
Gu Jue’s eyes darkened slightly.
Actually, he was a bit reluctant to see her go.
But, it seemed that right now he couldn’t say or do anything.
Otherwise, he would definitely scare his little wife away.
For the first time, Gu Jue felt inexplicably jealous of himself during his Manic-Depressive Period.
Because back then, Xiaowan had never been afraid of him and hadn’t wanted to leave him in such a rush.
When the White Tiger learned that its master had asked it to arrange the bedroom next door for Su Wan and provide whatever she needed, it was so surprised that it almost malfunctioned!
It had no choice but to settle Su Wan in the bedroom next door first, prepare all the necessary daily items, and then immediately flapped its little wings and flew back to Gu Jue’s room.
"Master, why, why did you send the madam to sleep in the next room?"
Gu Jue was sitting at his desk, looking through some documents, the air around him seemingly enveloped in a faint chill.
He said, "What else?"
"Couples are supposed to live together!"
"She’s afraid of me."
"..."
The White Tiger immediately fell silent too, looking at its master with a bit of sympathy. But after thinking it over, it still tried to find a reason for Su Wan.
White Tiger: "Master, don’t worry, this is a normal reaction. After all, the madam hasn’t known you for long. You have to give her some time."
Gu Jue put down the document he was holding and lowered his eyes, "Not that short."
White Tiger: "What?"
"Nothing. I have to go to MT320 Planet tomorrow. Make sure you grant Xiaowan full access to the smart home systems."
"Yes, Master."
**
Su Wan was exploring the new room.
Next to Gu Jue’s bedroom, it was a bit smaller than his, but amenities like the bathroom were fully equipped.
Xiaobai suddenly said, "Master, the White Tiger has granted me full access to all the permissions for this mansion."
Meaning, Su Wan was now completely the other master of this mansion.
