Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 51: You’re Not Someone Else, You’re My Partner
"The most important thing is, I can’t find out what crime Du Weiwei committed back then, and if she comes out, it will inevitably affect my parents’ marriage."
Having said all that, Su Wan looked at Gu Jue openly.
Seeing that she really wasn’t angry, Gu Jue’s hand, which was gripping the spoon handle, slowly loosened.
The White Tiger next to him, also tense, heaved a sigh of relief.
Whimpering, its lady’s temper was really too good! How could she not be angry with her master behaving like such a dog?
Truly a beautiful and kind-hearted little angel!
Gu Jue said calmly, "Du Weiwei’s case involves some secrets, and in theory, other people have no right to know, but you are an exception."
You are not someone else, you are family.
Su Wan blinked in surprise and hastily said, "If it’s a top secret, it’s okay not to tell me. I don’t have to know."
No wonder she couldn’t find out; it even involved top secrets!
"She is related to a Star Thief that the Federal Empire has been pursuing for many years. When Du Weiwei was captured, she was found on that Star Thief’s spaceship. However, the Star Thief wasn’t caught."
Gu Jue finished saying all this very calmly, then helped himself to another bowl of preserved egg and lean pork congee.
At the same time, he picked up another piece of sponge cake.
The White Tiger was silently calculating the calories of the food Gu Jue took in and clicked its tongue.
Was this the same master who previously had no appetite for anything?
Men, truly creatures of contrary speech and thought!
After digesting this information, Su Wan asked a bit nervously, "Could it be that Su Man is the child of Du Weiwei and that Star Thief?"
Gu Jue shook his head, "No, we compared their DNA. If Su Man really was that Star Thief’s child, we wouldn’t have allowed the Su Family to adopt her in the first place."
Su Wan thought about it and agreed.
Oh, she almost thought Su Man had an awesome biological father.
She said puzzledly, "So it seems, Du Weiwei’s crimes are not light, she probably won’t be released early. Then what’s Su Man fussing about?"
"I can check for you," said Gu Jue quickly, but even more hastily added, "Thank you for preparing such a big table of dishes."
The latter part of his sentence sounded rather superfluous.
But after thinking it over carefully, Su Wan said, "It’s only right for me to cook for you. Of course, if you could help me check on it, that would be even better."
The beautiful young girl, clad in a beige home outfit, looked very soft and cute.
A stark contrast to the formidable and lovely queen who presided over the restaurant opening, not at all the same.
But both were particularly beautiful.
Gu Jue looked at her deeply and said, "However, you probably won’t have time to cook for me in the coming days."
"Why not?"
"One month after the new semester starts at Empire University, students have to undergo military training."
"..."
Su Wan was silent for a few seconds, then immediately took out her light-computer to check the class schedule.
Indeed, first-year students at Empire University, one month after the school starts, have to go through a month-long closed military training.
Seeing Su Wan not speaking, Gu Jue, remembering her weak health, spoke up, "You’re not from the military academy, and it won’t be too tiring, don’t worry. If it’s really too much for you, I can speak with your instructor on your behalf."
"Ah, no, that’s not what I’m worried about." Su Wan could not explain that if she were closed off for military training for a month, what if her mother and father were divorced by the time she finished?
And there was also...
Su Wan organized her thoughts and then raised her head to look at Gu Jue, "What will you do about your Manic-Depressive Period when I’m gone for military training?"
Gu Jue: "..."
The Manic-Depressive Period seemed to be a taboo subject between the two, silencing the conversation as soon as it was brought up.
Originally, when Su Wan spoke, she actually hadn’t thought much about it.
But seeing Gu Jue looking intently at her, she subconsciously picked up the glass of milk next to her and took a sip, saying, "But that’s true, it will be very convenient for you to find me then. Ah, I’m full, I’ll head back to my room first, good night."
After saying that, Su Wan immediately turned around and left.
Even in slippers, she walked very fast.
As if a beast was chasing her from behind.
It wasn’t until she was back in her room that Su Wan let out a sigh of relief. She went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, only to see in the mirror that her ears were slightly red.
She splashed her face with cold water and thought, "What’s wrong with your brain, why are you feeling shy, it’s not like it’s the first or second time."
If it happens again, it will be the third time...
Once a month, twelve times a year, how come the Commander’s Manic-Depressive Period is so similar to her menstrual cycle?
Right, menstrual cycle?
Su Wan suddenly froze, looking at her reflection in the mirror, her cheeks faintly tinged with pink, lips red and teeth white, with her long hair casually draped down.
By her calculations, her period should have arrived by now.
Up until now, it hasn’t come. Could it be because she’s been too stressed lately?
"Forget it, after I’m busy tomorrow, I’ll check at the infirmary," Su Wan hadn’t felt anything unusual recently, just a bit tired, but she guessed it was due to being too busy.
Moreover, since she regained consciousness, her menstrual cycle has always been somewhat irregular.
Because she had been so busy today and had to go back to school tomorrow, Su Wan quickly finished her nightly routine and lay down on her bed.
She fell into a deep sleep very quickly.
That night, she slept soundly, not dreaming at all, and when she next opened her eyes, it was exactly 6:30 in the morning.
While she was getting ready, Su Wan asked Xiaobai, "Has the commander already left?"
Xiaobai, "The male master has not left yet, he is jogging and exercising in the garden."
Su Wan frowned, "Why are you calling him ’male master’ again?"
Xiaobai, "White Tiger told me to. It said if I didn’t, it would infect me with a virus program."
Su Wan, "..."
High-end AIs really are something else, they even know how to threaten regular AIs!
Su Wan’s AI, Xiaobai, is just at the level of a regular AI, or in other words, their AI for ordinary people is simply an intelligent robot.
Unlike Gu Jue, as well as Emperor Gu Zilan and the main AI Bai Ze of the whole Federal Empire, which possess highly advanced artificial intelligence with certain personalized designs.
High-end AIs like White Tiger and Bai Ze are less than ten in the entire Federal Empire.
Su Wan thought to herself, forget it, it’s just a title, she shouldn’t bother arguing with an AI like White Tiger over it.
Seeing that it was still early, she changed into her sportswear and decided to go for a morning run as well.
Su Wan deliberately avoided the area where Gu Jue was running; after all, the garden of the estate was so large that avoiding him wasn’t difficult.
However, as she ran, she ended up running face-to-face with Gu Jue?
Wearing a white sports outfit with a ponytail, Su Wan greeted him naturally, "Good morning, Ajue."
"Morning," Commander Gu, as always, was sparing with his words.
However, as he ran up to Su Wan, he took a turn and started running alongside her.
Su Wan, "..." Should she speed up or slow down?
Running with the Commander is daunting!
Gu Jue wore a black sports outfit, the material indistinct, but the black seemed to shimmer.
Beside Su Wan’s white sports outfit, there was an odd sense of them being in a couples’ outfit.
White Tiger, however, was not satisfied; it kept chattering in Gu Jue’s mind, "Master, I told you this morning to wear that white sports outfit, but you didn’t listen. Look now, you could have been matching with madam in couples’ outfits! But look at you now, you look like ’Black and White Impermanence’!"
