Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 42: Truly, Lethal!

Su Wan shook her head, "I’m just guessing, not sure. But starting from when Su Man stopped Huo Yichang from marrying me, I felt she was getting desperate."

Lin Ranyue’s eyes were complex, "What on earth do those mother and daughter intend to do?"

"I guess they’re after my dad and the Su Family restaurant."

Du Weiwei had initially let Su Zhen adopt her daughter, probably as a backup plan.

A first love who was utterly devoted to her, a chain restaurant famous across ten sectors of the Interstellar Federation.

What a perfect backup plan!

Lin Ranyue’s eyes reddened, and she felt both aggrieved and angry.

Her voice trembling, she said, "Your dad has never been able to forget Du Weiwei. He even said he felt sorry for Du Weiwei. Seeing how he’s pampered Su Man over the years, I knew it was all true! If Du Weiwei were released from prison, your dad would probably want to get back together with her."

Su Wan took Lin Ranyue’s hand, "Mom, if you can’t bear to leave Dad, I will help you deal with that mother and daughter."

Lin Ranyue reached out and gently touched her daughter’s hair, her gaze soft.

"Foolish child, what’s the use of holding on to a man who doesn’t love you? The only reason I haven’t divorced him yet is to make sure whether he truly loves me or Du Weiwei. If he doesn’t love me, I will leave at once."

Lin Ranyue said it lightly, but her reddened eyes were clearly in distress.

Su Wan hugged her mother, resting her chin on her shoulder.

"Mom, the Federal Empire has always had more men than women. Once you’re single, I’ll ask the Commander to help find you a handsome uncle in the military, how about that?"

Lin Ranyue couldn’t help but laugh tearfully, but she still touched her daughter’s hair, "Okay."

Because Su Wan had to host the opening ceremony the next day, Lin Ranyue told her to rest early.

Looking at the time, it was after nine in the evening.

After bidding her mother goodbye, she got on the flyer and returned to Gu Jue’s mansion.

She had something to do, something temporarily kept from everyone else.

When Su Wan returned to the mansion, she authorized Xiaobai to access all kitchen functionalities, planning to do a recording with "Food God" there.

Once the recording was done, she’d have Xiaobai delete the data.

By the time Gu Jue returned home, he would not notice any of this.

But he had already received an alert when she returned to the mansion from the starship.

White Tiger cheerfully said, "Master, the lady of the house is home! She had Xiaobai authorize kitchen access; looks like she is planning to cook!"

Gu Jue said, "Switch to camera view... don’t let her know."

"Yes!"

With a flash of the camera, Su Wan appeared in a white shirt and black pants, her long hair casually tied in a ponytail, revealing her pretty, slender neck, looking both beautiful and stylish.

Su Wan seriously prepared many ingredients, then with those beautiful, skillful hands, transformed them into delicious dishes.

White Tiger didn’t dare to guess whom the dishes were for, so it wisely kept its mouth shut.

Luckily, the Commander was utterly captivated by watching his young wife cook, his inherently icy demeanor seemed to melt a bit.

After Su Wan finished cooking, she packed the dishes in special containers, had the household robot clean up the kitchen, and, after making sure everything was in order, she yawned and returned to her room.

Just entering her room, Su Wan stretched her arms, worked her slightly sore neck, then started unbuttoning her shirt as she headed to the bathroom.

White Tiger hardly dared to breathe, unsure when the master would switch off the feed!

It was quite suspicious that the master didn’t seem to want to cut the connection!

And just as Su Wan unbuttoned her shirt and slid it slightly downwards, revealing her snowy white back, she suddenly gathered her collar and looked back curiously.

Huo Yichang almost instantly said, "White Tiger, cut the connection."

Left with no choice, White Tiger complied, but afterwards murmured softly, "Master, you actually don’t need to feel guilty. The lady won’t know."

"Do you want to be forcibly shut down again?"

"No no no, I’ll go check the route to make sure there are no problems, so we can rush back tomorrow morning."

Once the clamor from White Tiger no longer filled his ears, Huo Yichang closed his eyes, yet the image of Su Wan’s back facing the camera as she unbuttoned her shirt lingered in his mind.

The pair of fluffy ears on his head twitched slightly.

Truly, it was torturous.

Meanwhile, Su Wan just casually glanced around before retracting her gaze.

As she walked toward the bathroom, she asked Xiaobai, "Were the traces of my actions in the kitchen deleted?"

"Deleted."

"What about the traces from the household robot’s operations?"

"They were also deleted. But Master, Commander Gu’s authority is higher than yours. If he wishes to restore the data, he could know you recorded a video in the kitchen."

Su Wan shook her head, "He’s so busy, he wouldn’t normally notice such small matters."

Xiaobai offered no reply.

What Su Wan didn’t know was that the very busy Commander Gu had not only watched her finish cooking but also followed her all the way back to the bedroom, watching as she unfastened her shirt buttons...

After a bath, the exhausted Su Wan quickly drifted into dreamland.

Tomorrow, there was a tough battle to fight.

**

The light of dawn spilled into the silvery-gray bedroom. After waking up, Su Wan rubbed her eyes; although she had stayed here a few times, she still wasn’t quite used to it.

How should it be put? Not just the bedroom’s decor, but the entire mansion felt stark and cold.

The color scheme was either gray, white, or black.

Oppressive, chilly, silent, desolate.

Xiaobai thoughtfully said, "Master, I’ve activated this authority for you. If you want to redecorate anywhere, just let me know."

"Never mind."

Commander Gu willingly giving her such access showed his sincerity.

If she were to completely redesign his house... tsk tsk, Commander Gu might be furious enough to consider divorce.

No, better not. Their relationship was quite pleasant as it was, and Su Wan did not want to irritate this influential man.

She had already placed some of her medical supplies and clothes here, and she selected a black evening gown.

Though the gown was black, it was adorned with fragmented diamonds, and the mermaid-style hemline, paired with high heels, hugged her skin and complemented her elegant curves beautifully.

Adorned with rare pearl earrings and complemented by Su Wan’s exquisitely pretty face, the beauty in the mirror was captivating.

White Tiger, constantly monitoring the mansion’s situation, immediately took a photo of this scene without authorization!

When Huo Yichang had the starship prepare for the final jump, White Tiger joyfully brought up the photo, presenting it like a treasure before Huo Yichang.

"Master master, look how beautiful the lady looks today!?"
