Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 55: Dare Not Speak, Nor Dare Ask

Luo Jina really did learn her lesson this time.

Although she was annoyed with Pandora, she didn’t rush to speak but turned to look at Su Wan instead.

With a lazy smile at the corner of her mouth, Su Wan looked as if she had just woken up from a cat nap.

"You say we compete again, and that’s it? Where would that leave my face?"

"You!"

Pandora was completely stunned, seemingly never having expected Su Wan to refuse her!

Meanwhile, Su Wan, rubbing her slightly sore neck, turned her head to signal her two roommates and casually took her leave.

The crowd watched Pandora’s face turn ashen and promptly scattered to avoid the young miss’s wrath.

Only Su Man approached with a suspicious look, flattering Pandora by saying, "This Su Wan is simply arrogant because she’s married to Commander Gu. She thinks no one can compare, truly haughty. She must have won by luck this time, but I’m certain you can defeat her next time!"

Pandora turned away, her gaze drifting down with clear disdain, "Who are you, and what does it concern you!"

After saying that, she turned and walked away, her military boots clanging against the floor.

With her face shouted down, Su Man’s complexion turned both green and white!

Frustration brewed within her as she thought, "What’s wrong with all these noble girls!?"

With the three meals a day on the spaceship consisting of nutrient solution, Luo Jina’s palate had been spoiled by Su Wan’s cooking, and she was making a fuss for her to prepare a meal.

Sheng An was holding a nutrient solution too, but he hadn’t started drinking it either, looking expectantly at Su Wan.

With a hint of resignation, Su Wan said, "There’s no kitchen here, how am I supposed to cook for you all?"

Luo Jina answered, "No problem, it’s just a kitchen. I can help you sort it out, not just the kitchen but the ingredients as well."

"Alright then."

Truth be told, Su Wan herself wasn’t keen on the nutrient solution either.

Sheng An quickly tucked away the nutrient solution he was holding.

The trio immediately headed to the galley, and while Luo Jina negotiated with Jack, the person in charge of the kitchen, Su Wan finally checked the message on her neural implant.

Gu Jue: I’ve found information on Du Weiwei.

Gu Jue: Where are you?

Right now, Su Wan wasn’t able to talk to Gu Jue about Du Weiwei’s situation, so she quickly sent a response.

Su Wan: I’m busy, I’ll talk to you later.

After sending the message, Luo Jina had finished her negotiations with Jack. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Jack was very generous, allowing them to use any ingredient in the kitchen.

Upon hearing that Su Wan was part of the Su Family restaurant, he expressed hope that she might cook some extra.

"If it’s too much trouble, you don’t have to do it."

The man’s tone was naturally amiable since she was the Commander’s wife.

Su Wan smiled, "Making a bit more is no trouble at all, it’s not too bothersome."

"That’s really so kind of you!"

Despite borrowing the kitchen and ingredients, Jack was so courteous that it made Su Wan feel somewhat embarrassed.

Su Wan rolled up her sleeves to start cooking, with Sheng An washing his hands to help, while Miss Luo, on the other hand, seemed to have conjured an apple from nowhere and sat beside them, munching away with delight.

"Xiaowan, you are too amazing," Sheng An laughed. "You actually defeated that Fatty Du! Ah ha ha, you should have seen her face then, as sour as a corpse flower!"

While skillfully slicing onions, potatoes, and carrots into strips, Su Wan said helplessly, "It was just luck this time, and I won’t compete with her again."

After all, that was a Beastman. Su Wan didn’t want to compete in terms of physical strength.

Too tiring.

Sheng An said softly, "Xiaowan, your abilities are not bad at all. Why didn’t you consider the military academy before?"

"I wasn’t in good health at first, and couldn’t even pass the preliminary exam at the military academy."

Luo Jina also came closer and asked, "Is it true what they said, that you were lying in the recuperation chamber for many years?"

Su Wan smiled generously, "Yes."

Luo Jina and Sheng An looked at Su Wan with sympathetic eyes.

Su Wan herself didn’t feel there was anything to it; although she lost a lot during the years in the recuperation chamber, she also gained a lot.

Meanwhile, Mu Lei, accompanied by several instructors, was looking in astonishment at the solemn and indifferent First Commander emerging from a small spacecraft.

Mu Lei and the others immediately saluted Gu Jue, saying nervously, "Commander, is there any emergency?"

"I just happen to be going to Training Base Star too, so I’m taking your starship."

The First Commander had his own private starship, which was not only the most advanced but also the most well-equipped in the entire Interstellar Federation!

Why would he suddenly want to board their starship?

However, neither Mu Lei nor anyone else dared to say or ask anything.

Mu Lei said, "Commander, please follow me, the starship will soon make its first space jump."

Gu Jue nodded slightly.

As the highest-ranking commander in the entire Interstellar Federation, Gu Jue’s rest area was, of course, the most comfortable and best-equipped.

If compared, Su Wan and her companions’ rest area wasn’t even as big as the bathroom in Gu Jue’s resting room!

After everyone else had left, Gu Jue activated his light brain, and White Tiger immediately said eagerly, "Master, the lady has sent you a reply!"

Gu Jue’s handsome brows furrowed even more after he read the message sent by Su Wan!

White Tiger, thinking quickly, said, "Master, I left a positioning signal with Xiaobai, and now that we are both on the starship, I can locate the lady’s exact position!"

Gu Jue stretched his hand to undo the buttons fastened up to his neck and tugged at his tie, saying indifferently, "Locate."

"Yes!"

At this moment, the kitchen at the back of the starship was filled with rich aromas.

As there were quite a few people and the ingredients were abundant, Su Wan decided to make several pots and spicy hotpots, allowing various delicious ingredients to mix and meld together.

There was garlic eggplant with minced pork, char siu roast meat hotpot, tofu hotpot, and a spicy Sichuan hotpot.

The staple was simple rice, which was rare enough in this era.

Su Wan also made a seaweed egg drop soup to prevent everyone from getting too dry from the other dishes.

"Su Wan, you are really amazing!" Jack was so blissful that he was almost in tears!

If she were not the wife of the commander, he would have wanted to hold her back to be a chef!

On the other side, Jina took several photos of the meal and, before arriving at Training Base Star, hastily posted them in her social circle.

Jina: My most, most, most adorable roommate, not only is she amazing at operating virtual mechas, but her cooking is even more incredible!

At the same time she posted this, she specially tagged Pandora.

Pandora: ...

Seeing how much everyone loved the food she had prepared, Su Wan’s heart was filled with happiness, and her lips curved into a wide smile.

But when she saw the person walking through the door, the smile on her lips instantly froze.

Gu, how had Gu Jue come?

Gu Jue, dressed in a deep blue military uniform, looked even more aloof than usual, his long legs sheathed in military trousers, the bottoms hidden in black boots.

The sound of his military boots echoed as they hit the floor.

Mu Lei and Li Rui followed behind Gu Jue, one with a blank expression, the other deep in thought, puzzling over the unanticipated low-pressure mood of the commander.

And with the arrival of their group, the once lively kitchen fell deathly silent.

Everyone was as quiet as chickens.
