Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 57: Want to Walk Away Just Like on the Wedding Day?
The starship’s space jump ended, and it entered a steady state of flight.
Su Wan, overly concerned about her mother, directly sent a holographic communication request to her mother in front of Gu Jue.
Several minutes had passed since the request was sent, and still no one had answered!
Just as Su Wan started to worry about her mother, the communication was finally connected.
In the projection, Lin Ranyue’s eyes were red, she hadn’t applied any makeup, and she looked somewhat haggard.
Su Wan was startled, "Mom, what’s wrong with you?"
"Xiaowan, you mentioned last time, asking the Commander to introduce a handsome uncle from the military area, do you still mean it?"
Although Lin Ranyue was smiling, her eyes were red, and her expression was very sad.
Because she was so sad and depressed, that forced smile made her look all the more distressing.
Before Su Wan could speak, Gu Jue, who had been resting with his eyes closed at her side, spoke up in a gentle voice, "It can be done."
The lady across the projection, Lin Ranyue, was taken aback, even forgetting her sorrow for a moment!
Her lips trembled as she looked at her own daughter with an accusing gaze, "Xiaowan, you... you’re with Commander Gu?"
"Yes." Su Wan also felt this scene was a bit embarrassing as she turned her head towards Gu Jue, her small face crinkling with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Without saying anything, but seeing her cute expression, Gu Jue’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he got up, walked over to her side, bent down, and kissed her forehead, saying, "You two talk."
He then turned and walked into the bedroom.
Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt the spot on her forehead where Gu Jue had kissed her growing warm.
When she lifted her head, she saw her mother looking back at her through the projection with a mournful expression.
Lin Ranyue: "Xiaowan, are you calling me late at night just to rub your happiness in your own mother’s face?"
"No, no, no."
Su Wan hurriedly recounted the matter of Du Weiwei being released and said solemnly after she finished, "Mrs. Lin Ranyue, what do you plan to do?"
"Yeah, I already know about Du Weiwei getting out of jail. Your father has water on the brain, actually planning to bring her to District Three and settle her in the Su Family restaurant there, after which I had a big fight with him."
Lin Ranyue spoke lightly, but her eyes were rimmed with red.
No matter whether she won or lost the argument, the outcome was still a loss for her.
Su Wan looked at her mother with concern, "Mom, I’m sorry, I have military training for the next month and can’t come back to be with you."
And in reality, Lin Ranyue was the one who needed company the most right now.
Lin Ranyue said gently, "Silly child, Mom is fine. I’m certainly feeling a bit upset, but life has to go on. I still have more than a hundred years to live, there’s no need to be sad and upset over Su Zhen, that bastard. He’s not worth it!"
Perhaps having been mentally prepared, Lin Ranyue was sad but not in the depths of despair as if the sky had fallen.
She said, "Moreover, Xiaowan, don’t worry about me. I’m planning to travel after I successfully divorce in District Three tomorrow, for about a month or two. When I come back, your military training will have just ended."
"Yeah, Mom, I’ll make you a big meal then!"
"That sounds good."
When the call was about to end, Lin Ranyue carefully said, "Xiaowan, ahem, the first thing I mentioned just now, Commander Gu won’t take it seriously, will he?"
Asking Commander Gu to introduce a handsome uncle to herself in front of her son-in-law... Lin Ranyue was so embarrassed she could almost dig out a star!
Su Wan was actually uncertain about what Gu Jue meant by his response.
She could only say, "Mom, don’t worry, Commander Gu probably didn’t hear clearly."
Hopefully, he hadn’t heard clearly... hopefully.
After ending the communication, Su Wan exhaled softly, as it was getting quite late, and she should head back to her dormitory.
She had assumed that Gu Jue was in the bedroom, but it was empty, and White Tiger next to her said very considerately, "Madam, the master is taking a shower~"
Su Wan’s mouth twitched, just speak up system, what’s with drawing out your words so long!
Su Wan: "Then please tell him later that I’ve gone back to the dormitory."
White Tiger: "Ah, really? But I heard the commander still has things to say to you, why don’t you wait for him to finish his shower?"
Su Wan was a bit conflicted.
Reason told her not to wait; even though they were husband and wife, a soldier must follow orders and it was only sensible to stay in the dormitory.
But if she just left like that, what if Gu Jue had something to say about Du Weiwei?
Su Wan: "How much longer will the commander take to finish?"
White Tiger: "Master has already finished washing his hair, he’s currently washing his chest, and then down..."
Su Wan hastily said, "Stop! I didn’t ask for a play-by-play! Never mind, I’ll wait for him over on the couch!"
White Tiger’s electronic eyes squinted.
What a pity.
Master actually has a very good figure.
Su Wan sat back down on the sofa, holding a cup of milk, but perhaps because of the energy she expended during her battle with Pandora, she began to feel a bit sleepy while sitting!
Drowsily, Su Wan leaned onto the soft couch.
White Tiger used its mechanical arm to get a soft blanket and gently draped it over Su Wan.
In her dreams, it seemed like the Alaskan dog she had kept on Ancient Earth was nuzzling her, and Su Wan grabbed its fluffy tail and hugged it in her arms.
She even muttered, "Where are you going? With all that fur, you’re so warm to hold, why won’t you let me hug you!"
Gu Jue, wearing a white bathrobe, watched his tail being hugged by his little wife, and his eyes darkened more and more.
Fortunately, some things are learned through repetition.
He picked up his soundly sleeping little wife and walked towards the wide, soft bed...
The starship flew steadily, and in another five hours, it would land.
When Su Wan woke up, looking at the beautiful man sleeping beside her, she was a bit confused.
It was as if she had returned to the day they got married when Ajue had a Manic-Depressive Period and she became his exclusive medicine.
It was also reminiscent of that time when she accidentally fell asleep on the vessel and Gu Jue carried her back to the room...
How did she fall asleep? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
And with no signs of waking up at all!
In the end, Su Wan decided to employ the same tactic as before!
She flung off the covers, stretched out her legs planning to step over him, and leave the room, but just as she made it halfway across, she saw the commander, who was supposed to be sound asleep, quietly watching her.
In his dark, black eyes, there lay an emotion that was hard to read.
Su Wan said with an awkward smile, "Ajue, good morning."
"Planning to just walk away like the day we got married?"
"I wasn’t."
"Then what are you doing?"
Remembering her awkward position, Su Wan felt exceedingly embarrassed and quickly pulled her leg back. Just as she was about to open her mouth, the man by her side rolled over, extended his arm, and pulled her back into his embrace.
"Sleep a bit more."
Su Wan looked up at the snow-white ceiling, feeling a bit frustrated, and said, "Can I refuse?"
The commander said nothing, closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen back into a deep sleep.
But his hands held her very tightly.
Su Wan: ...
