Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 46: Beat her up!

Su Wan was concerned that Gu Jue might have other official matters to attend to, so after a few sips of tea, she said, "Grandfather, please continue to entertain the elders. I’ll accompany the Commander outside; he still has things to do."

"Of course, you two go ahead."

"Indeed, Commander Gu is very busy; we mustn’t delay his important matters." Others also echoed in agreement.

Amid the respectful gazes of everyone, Su Wan and Gu Jue left side by side.

Just as they turned a corner and Su Wan was about to tell Gu Jue that the Empress had arrived, she heard him say, "The Star Net has collapsed, but I’ve already sent someone to handle it. It won’t cause you any trouble."

Su Wan was startled, "Is it about our public announcement?"

Gu Jue nodded.

Today was the grand opening of the Su Family restaurant, which had already gained attention due to the Food God’s live broadcast.

Now, the number one Commander’s public announcement with his wife had instantly eclipsed the Food God’s live broadcast in popularity.

This made the grand opening of the Su Family restaurant an unprecedented success.

Even people from outer star systems now knew about the Su Family restaurant!

This was an unexpected joy, and Su Wan was certain that after today, the management rights of the Su Family’s branches would fall completely into her hands.

Moreover, her grandfather would begin to train her as his heir.

Seeing Su Wan appear lost in thought, Gu Jue frowned slightly, "Is there a rest room here?"

"Ah, yes, I’ll take you there."

Thinking Gu Jue was tired and wanted to rest for a while, Su Wan quickly adjusted her slipping coat and led him towards the rest room.

Halfway there, they encountered Su Man... Su Man was so shocked that her mouth hung open, wide enough that it looked like it could swallow a mutated egg whole.

But neither Su Wan nor Gu Jue paid any attention to her.

However, Su Man paused for a moment before hurriedly catching up.

She already knew that her actions had offended the old master of the Su Family.

But she didn’t want to see Su Wan so smug!

So, with her lips pursed and a pitiful look in her eyes, Su Man said to Gu Jue, "Commander Gu, you actually came all this way for my sister. But do you know? My sister and that very famous Food God are involved in an ambiguous relationship! You are so sincere to her, yet she treats you that way. I really feel you are being wronged!"

Anger welled up in Su Wan’s eyes.

She was too busy at the moment to deal with Su Man, and yet this green tea bitch was still causing endless trouble?

As for the Food God issue, Su Wan would explain it to Gu Jue later, because right now, she only wanted to do one thing.

Beat the hell out of her!!!

With a swift movement, Su Wan’s coat slid off her body to the floor, and she took a few steps forward directly towards Su Man.

Su Man instinctively took half a step back.

But then, thinking that this might cause a rift between Su Wan and the Commander, she suddenly felt fearless again.

She had been willing to sacrifice a leg before; now, at most, Su Wan would just hit her a couple of times.

After all, it wasn’t as if she would kill her.

But what Su Man didn’t expect was that Su Wan wasn’t just planning to slap her across the face; instead, she reached out and grasped her throat!

Su Wan smiled brightly, "Su Man, do you think I’m still that little girl who lay half dead in the nutrient tank? Provoking me time and again—are you tired of living?"

To her horror, Su Man found she couldn’t push Su Wan away! How could the other woman be so strong?

The sensation of nearing asphyxiation threw Su Man into complete panic!!!

Su Wan truly wanted to kill her!

Su Man began to struggle, like a fish on a cutting board at the sight of a cleaver.

Meanwhile, Su Wan’s smile stayed on her lips, her expression both gentle and cruel.

"Su Man, I warned you before, but it seems you didn’t take my words seriously. Isn’t your mother about to be released from prison? When that time comes, you can go accompany her properly."

"Su Family’s restaurant will never let you take another step inside!"

Su Wan released her hand, dropping Su Man to the ground as if she were tossing away a broken bag.

Finally able to breathe again, Su Man gasped for air. She looked at Su Wan in terror, then turned to Gu Jue, who had been silent the whole time, and shouted, "Commander Gu, Su Wan is so terrifying, do you still want to take her as your wife?"

As long as, as long as Commander Gu could be made to dislike Su Wan.

Then, she wouldn’t count herself as defeated!

Gu Jue half-closed his eyes, giving Su Man a cool and distant glance, "Who are you?"

"I..." Su Man was stunned.

She wanted to say that she was Su Wan’s sister, but facing Gu Jue’s look that seemed to see her as a dead person, she was at a loss for words.

But Su Man didn’t understand.

Even though Su Wan was like this, why was Commander Gu still protecting her so!

It was Su Wan who gave Gu Jue another look.

She picked up her jacket that had fallen to the ground, carefully dusting off the nonexistent dirt.

Su Wan reached out and hugged Gu Jue’s arm, "Let’s go to the resting room."

Gu Jue nodded slightly, the cool expression on his handsome face showing no sign of disturbance throughout the whole process.

Once they were in the resting room and Su Wan had closed the door, she was about to speak when the man beside her suddenly stretched out his hand and swept her up in a horizontal hold!

Su Wan was startled; she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck to maintain her balance.

Su Wan’s tone of voice lost the calm and composure she had just before.

"Are you... are you in your Manic-Depressive Period again?" She remembered that it hadn’t been a month yet!

Gu Jue’s lips were tightly pressed together, he didn’t speak but walked over to the sofa in the rest room and gently put her down.

Then, he reached out and took off Su Wan’s high heels.

Su Wan had beautiful hands, and her feet were beautiful too, with round and fair toes that instinctively curled a little at the sudden coolness.

And Gu Jue’s hands were a bronze color from wielding weapons, with slight calluses on them.

As he caressed the delicate soles of her feet, that subtle sensation immediately reminded Su Wan of the times she had soothed Gu Jue’s manic-depressive episodes.

Her ears flushed red.

However, Gu Jue appeared quite composed. He frowned at the spots on her foot reddened by the high heels, where the skin had broken.

"Does it hurt?"

"Ah, it’s okay." Su Wan felt her cheeks growing warm too.

In this atmosphere, even asking about pain felt strangely intimate.

But Gu Jue let her go and then gave an order to White Tiger. Soon someone knocked on the door; it was the Commander’s attendant bringing in a medical kit.

The attendant placed the medical kit down and then immediately exited the room very properly.

Su Wan realized what was happening and quickly said, "It’s nothing, just a skin abrasion, it will be fine after a while."

She had medical training herself.

Besides, which woman hasn’t had her ankles chafed raw by high heels before?

Yet Gu Jue didn’t speak. He forcefully took out an ointment, dabbed a bit with his fingertip, and then applied it to the abraded area on Su Wan’s ankle.

The cool ointment on the burning wound created an interplay of ice and fire, stirring up a very peculiar sensation.

And then there were the calluses on Gu Jue’s hands...

These two had already been very intimate with each other, and now this was just applying medicine.

Su Wan looked to the sky speechlessly, trying to distract her mind. She decided to find a topic to ease the awkwardness.

"Ajue, about the Food God incident, I can explain. It’s not as Su Man said."
