Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 40: The Arrogant Commander

Su Wan knew that this was Gu Jue’s sincerity.

Although he seemed cold and indifferent, he would still send her flowers and cooperate with her in front of the Su Family.

Moreover, knowing that she was reluctant, he did not force her to sleep with him.

Remembering the fluffy ears he had exposed earlier, the corners of Su Wan’s mouth turned up.

This husband of hers was actually quite nice.

Turning her head, Su Wan saw the vase on the table with the roses Gu Jue had given her, likely arranged by White Tiger.

She immediately took a photo of the roses and sent it to Gu Jue.

Su Wan: Thank you for the roses. ^_^

The Commander, who had been feeling a slight heaviness in his heart, felt the corners of his mouth lift slightly after seeing the message.

Gu Jue: Good night, sweet dreams.

Su Wan: You too, good night.

The young married couple, separated by a mere wall, exchanged a few messages like this before they each drifted off into deep slumber.

White Tiger, who had observed all of this, sighed softly.

At this rate, when would his master completely win over his lady’s heart?

It was distressing for the smart brain.

**

The next day when Su Wan woke up, Gu Jue had already set off and left the mansion.

However, he left behind his personal aircraft for Su Wan.

And because Gu Jue’s aircraft was exclusively for royal and military use, she could take the special passage.

From Gu Jue’s mansion to Empire University, it only took about ten minutes.

After dropping Su Wan off, the aircraft would automatically fly back to the mansion, and it would come to her as long as she sent the location when needed.

It couldn’t be more convenient.

When Su Wan returned to the dormitory, the small kitchen had also been assembled, so she made four dishes, one soup, and a dessert, inviting her two roommates to taste.

Sheng An ate in complete silence.

After a long while, she murmured in amazement, "I never knew there was food this delicious in the world."

Compared to the monotonous taste of nutrient solutions, these stir-fried dishes had turned Sheng An’s worldview upside down!

After all, in the Tenth Star District where she came from, some people had never tasted these foods in their entire lives.

Smiling, Su Wan said, "These are just some homemade dishes; I’ll make more in the future, and we can eat together!"

"Yeah." Sheng An nodded vigorously, struggling to suppress the excitement in her heart.

Miss Luo, on the other hand, often had the opportunity to eat such meals, and the Luo Family even had a dedicated chef, so she was a bit more particular about flavors.

Even so, Miss Luo quickly finished two large bowls of rice!

"Su Wan, your cooking is too delicious! Ah, Commander Gu is too lucky!"

Su Wan could not help but smile and say, "The Commander is on official business, off to an exoplanet."

"Well, then let Sheng An and me enjoy the delicious food first!"

The three young ladies laughed together.

Initially, Luo Jina certainly looked down on Sheng An from the Tenth Star District.

People in their noble circles believed that those from the lower districts had inferior genes, no quality, and even carried viruses.

This was most severe in the Tenth Star District.

However, influenced by Su Wan, though she still looked down on Sheng An, Miss Luo subconsciously counted Sheng An as one of her own people.

To put it simply, she could dismiss Sheng An, but others could not; she was quite protective.

Because the restaurant was opening tomorrow, Su Wan went there after school in the afternoon.

However, before Su Wan left, she told her two younger sisters to visit the Su Family restaurant tomorrow and bring their good friends along, her treat.

Due to her background, Sheng An mostly hung out with Su Wan and Luo Jina at school, while Luo Jina had many friends.

But Luo Jina didn’t want to bring those who were eager to curry favor with her every day, so she immediately sent a message to her sister, Queen Luo Manya.

Jina: "Sister, Su Wan’s family restaurant is opening tomorrow, and she’s hosting it. Do you want to join us and have a look at the festivities?"

After reading the message, Luo Manya was startled and immediately took her portable computer to Gu Zilan’s study to tell him about it.

Gu Zilan was coincidentally discussing important defense strategies with Gu Jue, who was far away in an outer planet, through a holographic projection.

Since there were no outsiders present, Gu Zilan didn’t mind and said to Luo Manya, "It’s not convenient for me to appear, but if you’re interested, you can go with your sister."

"Mm, I do want to go, but I don’t want to attract too much attention."

"Then ask if they can provide you with a private room."

"Okay."

As Luo Manya turned to leave, Gu Zilan looked back and noticed that his uncle’s expression didn’t look too good.

He was puzzled, "Uncle, what’s wrong?"

"Just that, we’ll be in touch if anything comes up."

Before Gu Zilan could say anything more, the connection had been cut and only a black screen remained.

Gu Zilan was left completely bemused.

Meanwhile, Gu Jue sat silently in his chair after severing the communication, staring at the control panel on his battleship.

His gaze was so deep that White Tiger suspected his master wanted to snap the control stick in half!

White Tiger tentatively said, "Master, the Su Family’s restaurant is opening tomorrow, and the mistress is hosting it. You can’t make it back, so why not send her a message? Better yet, a direct projection."

"She didn’t tell me."

"..."

White Tiger had been with Gu Jue for quite some time and immediately understood where the problem lay.

What to say, Master? With such tsundere behavior, your wife might just walk away!

White Tiger patiently explained, "It must be because the mistress knows you’re very busy, so she didn’t want to bother you. Besides, she has been busy preparing for the opening of the restaurant recently, as you know."

Gu Jue remained silent for a while, then moved to send a message to Su Wan, but stopped midway through the motion.

He looked up and said, "Call Deputy Li Rui in."

"Yes."

On the other end, Su Wan was explaining to the elder Mr. Su, "Grandpa, Commander Gu has duties on an outer planet, he can’t come."

Elder Mr. Su: "It’s a pity, but Commander Gu is busy with his official duties, which are more important. However, you should contact your older and second brothers. They’re both in the First Star District right now; they should come and show some support."

Su Wan was somewhat silent.

She had already tried, but as soon as her eldest brother Su Yun heard that Gu Jue wouldn’t be there, he diplomatically said he wasn’t available.

Her second brother, Su Ni, was even more direct; he outright refused, stating he did not want to support her event.

Heh... Those brothers could be discarded for all she cared. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The elder Mr. Su spoke earnestly, "Xiaowan, during the years you were in hibernation, your older and second brothers indeed treated Su Man like a beloved younger sister, but it’s not like they don’t want to treat you well in their hearts."

"Grandpa, I understand that daily interaction is important, and I’m aware that they have been misled by Su Man on certain matters, but some things are mutual."

If they weren’t willing to treat her sincerely, then she had no reason to waste her emotions.

Elder Mr. Su frowned, "I understand you have issues with them, but your older brother is an outstanding student at the Empire Military Academy, and your second brother is a star. Having them support the event will surely make tomorrow’s opening even more successful."

Su Wan smiled faintly, "Grandpa, even if they don’t come, I have ways to make tomorrow’s opening ceremony a success, and I’ll make sure everyone in the First Star District remembers the Su Family restaurant!"
