Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 580: Can’t Bear to Lie

This wasn’t the first time Bai Li had kissed Gu Yan’s forehead.

Actually, throughout their childhood, he had really kissed her many times, but most of the time, it was when Gu Yan was still asleep. Bai Li had to leave, but because he couldn’t bear to part, he would leave a kiss on the young girl’s forehead.

And most of those times were during Gu Yan’s childhood, when she was a soft, tender little bundle that anyone would want to "RUA" at a glance.

But this time was different, it was after Gu Yan had become an adult, and moreover, she was completely awake.

The young girl was flabbergasted.

Her forehead was warm, yet she was a bit dazed, her beautiful eyes momentarily adorably vacant.

Seeing her like this, Bai Li found her even more endearing and pinched her face, "What’s the matter?"

"You, why did you kiss me?"

"It’s not like I haven’t kissed you before."

"Huh?"

At that moment, Gu Yan’s communicator rang; it was a call from her mother Su Wan, and Gu Yan immediately answered.

"Mom, what’s up?"

Su Wan said, "Xiaoyan, someone reported a dangerous element at the banquet. Where are you now?"

"I’m near the private resting room. Should I go there?"

"Yes."

Gu Yan put down her communicator and said to Bai Li with a kind of helplessness, "That Mu Feng is really troublesome. Brother Little Mushroom, I need to go to Mom’s place now."

"Mm, no problem. See you at school tomorrow."

"Okay."

Gu Yan parted from Bai Li and then used instant teleportation to return to the Gu Family’s private resting room, where Su Wan and Gu Yu were present. Upon seeing Gu Yan, they both sighed with relief.

Gu Yan pretended not to know what had happened. Su Wan, not wanting to scare her daughter, didn’t elaborate. Moreover, the banquet was drawing to a close. If there were any issues, Gu Jue and Gu Chen would handle them, so Su Wan decided to take her children home first.

After returning home, Su Wan went to her daughter’s room. Seeing her daughter’s puzzled expression, she said gently, "Xiaoyan, the boy who danced the first dance with you today, is he a new friend you’ve made?"

"Yes, he is."

In fact, Gu Yan felt a bit guilty. Among all people, she trusted her mother Su Wan the most, and she had never lied to her mother—well, except regarding Brother Little Mushroom.

And today, she had to lie again.

It left her feeling somewhat uncomfortable inside.

Su Wan was very smart and could sense that her daughter was troubled. As the daughter had grown up, she had begun to have her own secrets. Although parents might feel a sense of loss, this was an inevitable trend as children grow up.

So, compared to Commander Gu, who was very agitated by the thought of his daughter getting married, Su Wan was much more patient.

Su Wan: "I was worried that you wouldn’t make many new friends at school, but it seems I was overly concerned. I heard that you and your current roommate, that young girl, get along well?"

Seeing that her mother had stopped asking about Brother Little Mushroom, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and started talking about Vivian, "Yes, Vivian is a very cute person. She actually has a very nice personality, just a bit timid. She is a rabbit beastman, oh right, she mentioned her mother also came to Empire University as an exchange student and was in the same class as you."

Su Wan thought back. When she was studying, there had been a group of exchange students from other planets, and at that time, almost a mishap occurred which was exploited by Lucifer.

Speaking of Lucifer, he had already fallen silent for many years. Some said he had died, but Su Wan believed that this octopus probably wasn’t that easy to kill.

But one thing was certain, even if he had the chance to rise again, he would definitely not have the same influence as before.

Because the era of the Star Thieves had passed.

If Lucifer still wanted to be a Star Thief, it probably wouldn’t work out, unless he found a new opportunity.

As for the exchange students from the same period...

Su Wan thought back, "There was a student named Julia at that time; she used to like a young Wolf Clan Beastman who came with her, but I believe the two of them didn’t end up together."

After several massive changes, some people from other planets moved to the Empire Main Star one after another, and later, the people from the Empire Main Star migrated together to Landis Star, where everyone became present-day citizens of Landis Star.

Gu Yan was also aware of this history, after all, she was a history major. She was particularly clear about such recent history. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Su Wan smiled, "I have a good impression of Julia, and her daughter surely won’t have a bad personality either. Speaking of which, it is quite a coincidence, the first good friend I made at Empire University was also named Sheng An; her name also contains the character ’An’."

Gu Yan said with a smile, "But didn’t Jina sister say that you were the first good friend she made at Empire University?"

"Back then, the three of us shared a dorm, Jina was particularly Tsundere, not willing to associate with others easily. I became good friends with your Aunt Sheng An first, Jina was the second."

Gu Yan loved to listen to her mother talking about her student days, she listened for a long time, and now felt a bit drowsy.

In the end, Su Wan said, "It’s expected for you to make friends, but the character of your friends is extremely important. A bad-natured friend may bring you trouble, even lead you astray."

The caution in choosing friends was exactly this point.

Gu Yan reflected, Vivian was definitely fine, despite apparently being timid, she thought of protecting her when faced with danger.

As for Brother Little Mushroom, they grew up together after all!

For the time being, Gu Yan was not sure about others, she thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I really dislike Luo Xixi and Mu Feng."

"I know why you dislike Luo Xixi, but why do you dislike Mu Feng?"

Gu Yan recounted the events of that evening involving Mu Feng in front of her. Of course, she did not mention Bai Li, or what she did with Bai Li.

Su Wan remembered this Mu Feng, he was a very outstanding child from the Mu Family generation, and the last time she visited her mother Lin Ranyue, she heard Uncle Lei mention him, it seemed he was also slated for important support.

After hearing her daughter’s words, she understood.

That was, Mu Feng had already broken off his engagement with Luo Xixi, and it might be true that he had some designs on Xiaoyan. However, seeing Xiaoyan’s attitude towards him, well, it seemed unlikely to go anywhere.

Su Wan adhered to one principle, her daughter’s future husband must be someone her daughter liked, she would definitely not arrange a marriage for her.

She said, "Alright, alright, you won’t see much of each other in the future anyway. Next time, if there truly is an issue, just ask him to leave."

My daughter Su Wan has to have that bit of dominance.

Gu Yan nodded her head, "Mhm! I’ll do just that next time."

As Su Wan left her daughter’s room, it was not long before Commander Gu returned.

She asked, "What exactly happened at the banquet today?"

Gu Jue replied, "It was that Mu Family kid, he reported that there was a strong spiritual power attacking him in the garden."
