Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 614: Don’t Frown, It’s Not Pretty When You Do
"His outburst was so severe, it might be because he encountered a girl who moved his heart, and of course, it’s also possible that he is not yet aware of it himself. But a Beastman’s Manic-Depressive Period will be affected even more severely."
Gu Jue stretched out his hand and held his wife’s small hand, saying, "My Manic-Depressive Period was very severe at the time, and later, when I encountered you at your wedding, I completely lost my mind."
In just a few words, the two of them were brought back to that initial turning point of their fates.
Su Wan’s heart softened, and she softly said, "Regardless, I hope that our three children will have partners who are very affectionate with them in the future."
Su Wan wouldn’t care about who the other halves of her children were.
But there was one condition, and that was they had to be sincere to her children.
"They will be. Actually, Xiaochen is very opinionated; you don’t need to worry about him. He’s keeping quiet now, perhaps because he hasn’t realized that he’s started to care, or maybe he has other concerns."
"Hmm."
"However, when it comes to the children’s marriages, we’ll have to put more effort into Xiaoyan’s when she gets a bit older—her marriage will require more of our attention."
"I think so, too."
Daughters always warrant more worries than sons do.
At this moment, Gu Yan, the daughter being worried about by her parents, had finished reading several books. After gathering the information she needed, she turned to the person next to her and asked, "Are you hungry? I brought some food from home, shall we go to my dorm to eat?"
"Sure."
Bai Li really wanted to be with Gu Yan, and he also missed the meals at Commander Gu’s residence.
Without going into details, the meals made by Gu Yan’s mother were indeed very delicious. Even though Bai Li didn’t care about the pleasures of eating and could even go without food, he was very willing to accompany Gu Yan and share the home-cooked dishes.
As a result, the two of them saw Anji and his friends at the door.
Almost as soon as their gazes collided, Anji immediately pulled his friends and turned to leave, moving away quickly.
Gu Yan and Bai Li didn’t take him seriously and slowly walked away, while Anji watched the two with a very complicated expression.
His friend asked him, "What’s wrong with you, weren’t you already punished?"
Anji’s eyes darkened, "It’s all because they rely on their family’s power, but I suppose it’s understandable. If my family had that kind of influence, I would be more arrogant than Gu Yan. It’s just that Insectoid that I can’t stand. He hit me before just to ingratiate himself with Gu Yan, and now he’s always hanging around her."
"What else could it be for, if not for the Gu Family’s background? But speaking of which, that Insectoid sure has guts. All of us have the heart for it, but not the courage."
A few of them whispered about Gu Yan’s appearance and then laughed softly amongst themselves.
Anji had harbored some desires for Gu Yan before, but now, he no longer dared to approach her. Another warning, and he might be expelled.
But the resentment was hard to swallow.
Thus, Anji did not want to let that Insectoid off!
"Daring to covet Gu Yan? Hah." Anji sent off an anonymous report to the Principal’s mailbox with the flick of a hand, accusing someone of pursuing Gu Yan and carrying ill intentions.
Everyone knew that the wife of Principal Gu Lei of Empire University was Gu Yan’s maternal grandmother. Although it was her second marriage, Gu Lei cared deeply for his wife.
And so, he cared even more for this granddaughter.
In the office of Principal Gu Lei, who had been busy with official duties, he heard an alert from his smart brain, notifying him that the Principal’s mailbox was full again.
Even with a multitude of tasks, since Gu Lei had established the mailbox, he would check it regularly. However, due to the overwhelming amount of mail, he would first have the smart brain filter through keywords.
Trivial matters would, of course, be skipped directly.
But today...
The cybernetic interface alerted about several surveillance checks, and Gu Yan’s name was among them?
Gu Lei immediately put down all his work and said with a furrowed brow, "Bring up that letter!"
"Yes!"
Gu Lei read the anonymous letter almost ten lines at a glance, and by this time, Gu Yan had already returned to the dormitory with Bai Li. The door to Vivian’s room was tightly closed. Gu Yan asked Bai Li to take a seat in the living room and went over to knock on Vivian’s door.
After a moment, Vivian opened the door with a start, "Xiaoyan, what’s up?"
"Did you have lunch? I just brought some food from home, and my friend Bai Li is also here. Do you want to come out and eat something?"
The food from the Gu Family always tasted great.
Vivian bit her lip and then shook her head, "No need. I’ve already eaten and I’m a bit sleepy, I’m going to rest."
"Are you really okay? Do you want me to take you to the medical room to have a look?"
"No need."
"Alright then, get some rest. If you really feel uncomfortable, call me any time."
"Oh."
After the door closed, Gu Yan slightly knitted her brows, always feeling that something was a bit off about Vivian.
Bai Li squinted his eyes, seeing Gu Yan’s slightly furrowed brows, he suddenly reached out his hand to smooth the wrinkles between her brows, "Don’t frown. It’s not pretty."
Bai Li’s fingertips were actually faintly cool to the touch.
Yet, for some reason, when he touched Gu Yan’s brow, she felt a bit of heat.
She instinctively wanted to pull away, but her body suddenly seemed frozen in place, her heart beating fast. Luckily, Bai Li quickly withdrew his hand.
Gu Yan said dryly, "I’m fine. I’m just a little worried about Vivian."
"You are both girls. Find an opportunity later to have a good talk."
"Yeah."
The two chatted while they ate, but on the other side, Gu Lei had finished reading the report letter. If that Insectoid person, Bai Li, was really approaching Xiaoyan with ill intentions, then this was a serious matter!
Gu Lei pulled up the information on the Insectoid Bai Li, read through it, but found nothing amiss. He thought for a moment, then decided to call his wife, Lin Ranyue.
The couple had been married for many years and were always sickeningly sweet to each other, but Lin Ranyue absolutely did not interfere with Gu Lei’s work. Seeing her husband send a communique so suddenly, she was taken aback.
"Gu Lei, aren’t you working right now? What’s up with contacting me so suddenly?"
Gu Lei immediately recounted the matter of the anonymous letter to his wife.
Lin Ranyue was silent for a while, then spoke, "Other than the two of them getting close, has there been any other behavior? Something a bit over the top?"
"There probably hasn’t been."
"It should still be within the range of normal friendships. Xiaoyan is also grown up, and it’s normal for her to have some friends of the opposite sex. Besides, shouldn’t you check who wrote that anonymous letter?"
"It’s a student from our school, named... Anji?"
Although it was an anonymous letter, as the principal of Empire University, his authority was high, and it was a simple task to find out a student’s information.
Gu Lei looked at this familiar name and suddenly realized.
"I remember now, this student had a conflict with Xiaoyan during military training. Back then, it was this student named Bai Li who stepped in to help Xiaoyan. The anonymous letter he sent must be out of retaliatory spite."
