Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 591: The Future Second Sister-in-law is Fortunate
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, whenever the topic of her daughter Xiaoyan getting married came up, Commander Gu would always end up in a state like this.
Helplessly, she comforted him for half the night.
When Su Wan arrived at the Training Star Base, it was Adolf’s adjutant who came to the port to meet her. The adjutant had already checked the training data of the two children and said with a smile, "There’s no need to mention student Gu Yu. If he were to go to the military academy, his grades would certainly be among the top. Although student Gu Yan is a bit weak physically, she has passed every test, and the young lady is very hardworking and ambitious."
Su Wan sighed, "It’s all my fault, having gone on a mission back then. Otherwise, Xiaoyan wouldn’t have been injured before she was even born. Now, I just hope she can grow up healthy and safe, and have a smooth life. I won’t have too many other demands on her."
"We are all aware of this, and if it weren’t for Commander Su and Commander Gu, those trapped in the Virtual City might never have had a chance to get out."
Not to mention, those who were trapped in the Virtual City included the previous, previous Emperor, both Gu Yuan and his spouse.
Su Wan was here purely for personal matters and didn’t take up too much of the adjutant’s time. Knowing that her son and daughter were still training, she didn’t rush to find them but sent them messages separately.
Their family all had exclusive communication signals that wouldn’t be blocked by the base here.
Gu Jue still had an exclusive resting room here, and it was quite large. Su Wan told her son and daughter to come find her in the exclusive resting room after their training.
Of course, Su Wan brought some fresh ingredients with her, planning to personally cook some delicious dishes for her children.
Su Wan had stopped live streaming a long time ago, and she would only cook for her family. When outside, she hardly ever cooked.
On the other side, after bidding farewell to Bai Li, Gu Yan went to meet her brother Gu Yu, and then they both headed to the exclusive resting room.
After entering their personal information into their brain-implanted devices, Gu Yu saw their mother cooking and immediately went to wash his hands, rolling up his sleeves, "Mom, I’ll help you cook."
"Aren’t you tired from training?"
"What kind of training could be tiring?"
Whether it’s holding a kitchen knife or a scalpel, both captivated Gu Yu, who had already begun chopping vegetables adeptly.
Although Gu Yan couldn’t cook, she didn’t want to just wait idly in the room while her mom and brother were busy, so she joined in and said, "Brother, my future sister-in-law will be so fortunate."
Hearing his sister’s teasing, Gu Yu nearly cut his hand and said speechlessly, "Xiaoyan, can you not mention those girls to me? They’re truly terrifying! Every time I feel like I’m a fish surrounded by cats!"
Gu Yan: "Haha, brother, that’s a good comparison! But, you know, my future sister-in-law might not necessarily be a woman. Mom, isn’t that right?"
Su Wan smiled, "Gender doesn’t matter, species doesn’t matter, but the person has to be good, and good to you."
Gu Yu simply shook his head, feeling quite helpless.
However, when Gu Yan heard her mother say "species doesn’t matter," she had a moment’s distraction, but it was just a fleeting moment.
With Gu Yu’s help, they quickly prepared six dishes and one soup. Gu Yu thoughtfully took a projection of the sumptuous meal and sent it to their dear dad and dear older brother.
Gu Jue, working overtime at the military department: "..."
Gu Chen, working overtime at the Imperial Palace: "..."
Gu Yu was satisfied, and after having a meal with his mother and sister, the three of them also chatted for a while about the performance of the two children during the past week’s training.
Of course, they focused on asking about Gu Yan, as Su Wan wasn’t worried about her son Gu Yu at all.
When she heard that her daughter had changed the assessment project and then successfully completed it within the allotted time, Su Wan said with a smile, "That’s not a bad idea, Xiaoyan, how did you come up with it?"
Gu Yan: "A friend of mine suggested it to me. During this training period, I’ve made a few friends."
Su Wan nodded, "It’s good to make more friends who share your ideals, and you don’t have to worry about running into bad ones. You have to spend time with everyone to find out whether they’re suitable to be friends."
Gu Yan thought to herself, I’ve been with Brother Little Mushroom for quite a while now, he’s definitely not a problem!
She nodded obediently, agreeing with her mother’s words.
However, Gu Yu, who was sipping fruit juice on the side, asked curiously, "So, this friend of yours is quite creative, huh? Are they a boy or a girl?"
Gu Yan: "..."
Su Wan didn’t speak. She wouldn’t rigidly dictate that her daughter could only make friends with the same sex.
That old saying still applied, as long as the person has good character and is sincere, whether the same sex or the opposite sex, it doesn’t matter. If someone has ill intentions, they’re unsuitable regardless of gender.
As they chatted, time slipped away, and Su Wan said to her daughter Gu Yan, "Xiaoyan, why don’t you stay here tonight? I’ll stay over as well. You have training early tomorrow, you can go then."
"Okay."
Gu Yan was very willing to be close to her mother, Su Wan. Even at home, most of the time, her father was the one who occupied her mother, and she had been sleeping by herself since she was very young.
Gu Yu leaned in and said, "Mom, why aren’t you asking me to stay?"
Su Wan was speechless: "You’re such a big fish now, do you still need your mother to tell you a story to fall asleep?"
"Not really, but I just love the stories you tell. You don’t realize until you compare them, every time I compare the stories you tell with those big brother tells, yours are so much nicer to listen to."
Gu Yan nodded vigorously after hearing this.
It was true, her big brother had always seemed to have a fondness for telling stories, and whenever he got a chance, he would tell Gu Yan and Gu Chen some strange tales. In the beginning, Gu Yan didn’t understand much because she was young, but as she grew older, she realized that her big brother’s stories were still very hard to understand.
Su Wan was both amused and exasperated.
In the end, she had to send her son away.
Just kidding, this kiddo is now afraid of female classmates, so it’s unlikely he’ll get a girlfriend anytime soon. Besides, if he stayed here, Xiaoyan might feel embarrassed.
After all, children grow up, and the way you treat a son is indeed different from how you treat a daughter.
Once Gu Yu had finally left, the fruit tea that Su Wan had prepared earlier was ready. She took her daughter to sit on the sofa, and said gently, "Xiaoyan, have you encountered anything during military training these days? If anyone has given you a hard time, or if there’s anything you think is improper, you can discuss it with me."
Gu Yan loved her mother very much, and she felt most relaxed when she was with her.
They were mother and daughter, as well as friends.
Of course, she told her mother about the incident with Luo Xixi during the weighted long-distance run, as well as watching the Mecha PK at the military academy when Bai Li and another Beastman dueled, among other things.
Su Wan listened quietly and noticed carefully that her daughter had mentioned a classmate named Bai Li in several of the stories.
But she kept her composure, didn’t voice any objections, and the whole time acted like a serious and attentive audience.
