Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 615: Are You Breaking Off Relations with Me?
"But time really does fly, Xiaoyan is already starting to date," Lin Ranyue remarked sentimentally before turning the conversation to her own daughter, Xiaoluo.
Lin Luo was a mermaid. Although she was naive when she was young, as she grew up, she became more and more like her father Gu Lei. She studied at the military college of Empire University and after graduation, she smoothly joined the military.
Now she’s already a probationary commander.
Lin Ranyue said, "I wonder if Xiaoluo has a girl she likes."
Gu Lei said, "Let the child be, it’s better that way. She’s a boy and also has strong spiritual and combat power. However, Xiaoyan is a girl and also a Plantman. You should have a talk with Xiaowan about this."
Putting the major families aside, not to mention the difference in generations, among these children, only Xiaoyan is a girl and she’s not even a beastman.
So the whole family was worried, wondering if Xiaoyan would be bullied.
Lin Ranyue nodded, "Of course, I’ll bring this up when I go shopping with Xiaowan in a couple of days. But I think, Xiaowan must have started worrying about this a long time ago."
"Hmm."
Lin Ranyue was a woman of action. The day after seeing her daughter, she casually brought up the matter.
Su Wan said, "I’ve thought about this too, not to mention anything else, I worry that she might run into untrustworthy people. But I won’t interfere in my daughter’s romantic affairs."
It wasn’t just her daughter; Su Wan actually didn’t plan on interfering in any of the children’s romantic relationships.
She sighed leaning on Lin Ranyue, "Mom, when I first came of age, were you worried about my marriage too?"
"I actually didn’t like Huo Yichang at that time, but you didn’t oppose it. What mattered most was that you were always sick, and as long as you could be healthy and happy, that trumped everything else. Even if you had fallen in love with a penniless poor boy back then, I wouldn’t have stopped you."
And as it turned out, her son-in-law was not a penniless poor boy, but the strongest War God and Commander of the whole Empire at that time!
But whether a poor boy or the strongest commander, as long as he was good to my daughter, that was what mattered most.
On this side, Su Wan also nodded, "Yes, so as long as that boy is good to Xiaoyan in the future, that’s what’s most important."

Gu Yan noticed a problem: Vivian had been growing more and more distant from her lately.
At first, she thought that Vivian was just not well-rested that day, but the two of them talked less and less and hardly interacted outside of classes.
This made Gu Yan a bit upset.
Unable to hold back any longer, when they were returning to the dormitory after class, Gu Yan stopped Vivian, who was about to head back to her room, "Vivian, what’s going on? Why have you been avoiding me recently?"
Because she cared a lot about her friend, Gu Yan didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
What if it was a misunderstanding that affected their friendship?
Looking at the determination in Gu Yan’s eyes, Vivian bit the corner of her mouth. She didn’t know how to respond; these past days, she had been feeling uncomfortable herself. Every time she dodged Gu Yan, she felt miserable.
Just last night, on her way home, she had cried for a while.
As she thought about it, Vivian’s eyes began to redden, and biting her lip, she seemed on the verge of crying again.
Gu Yan was taken aback and quickly grabbed some tissues. "Is someone threatening you, telling you not to be friends with me?" she asked.
Vivian shook her head.
Gu Yan suddenly thought of something, her eyes lighting up with realization, "Ah, is it because that day at my house, my big brother scared you? Don’t worry about it, if you don’t want to see him, I won’t take you to my house anymore."
Vivian blanked out for a few seconds, remembering how Gu Chen had come over, her ears reddening a bit, but she still shook her head.
Gu Yan was a bit frustrated, "Then what exactly is it because of? Vivian, if you don’t clarify things today, I’m not letting you go out or go home."
Vivian couldn’t help but smile through her tears, yet she also felt a warm feeling in her heart. Even in this state, Gu Yan didn’t dislike her, and at the same time, guilt towards Gu Yan rose in her heart.
In the end, she gave in and said softly, "Someone found out I went to your house, and they... they said I was after your family background. Basically, a lot of nasty things were said."
Gu Yan: "Who said that? I’ll confront them! Vivian, do you think I’m a fitting friend, or is it for some other reason?"
"Of course, I think you’re a great person, and we really get along well."
"Right, so, we don’t need to care about what others say. Mouths are on their faces, but our own hearts are within us."
Vivian looked at the determination in Gu Yan’s eyes and couldn’t help but be touched, finally nodding in agreement.
It was quite a coincidence that just as the two of them made up and attended class together, they went to the restroom together after class. Vivian finished washing her hands first and waited for Gu Yan at the door.
She just so happened to see Molly standing there with another girl. Molly had always wanted to ingratiate herself with Gu Yan, but Gu Yan paid her no mind.
However, Gu Yan got along very well with Vivian.
These last few days, as soon as Vivian was finally seen without Gu Yan, walking alone, Molly immediately couldn’t hold back and started mocking her.
"Didn’t you always suck up to Gu Yan before? How come, in only a few days, Miss Gu is already fed up with you? Could it be that in a couple of days, she won’t even want to stay in the same dorm with you anymore? That’s why I say, commoners are just commoners. Better stop bootlicking the nobility!"
"You!"
At that moment, Gu Yan pushed open the door and stepped out from the adjacent stall. She turned to Molly, "So, the one who’s been spreading rumors and talking nonsense is you."
Molly was startled, "Ah, Gu Yan, what are you doing here?"
Gu Yan: "Do you own this school? Why can’t I be here?"
Actually, one could almost say that Landis Star as a whole was owned by Gu Yan’s family, let alone Empire University, where the Chancellor was Gu Yan’s grandfather.
Molly was close to crying, and she quickly said, "Gu Yan, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t mean it, I was just joking with Vivian."
Actually, Gu Yan wasn’t a domineering person, but thinking about how Vivian had almost been too afraid to be friends with her because of Molly’s gossip, she was really angry.
Gu Yan waved her hand dismissively, "Leave. If I hear you talking like this again, it won’t be this simple."
"Yes, yes." Molly immediately grabbed her stunned friend and ran off.
Meanwhile, Vivian was on the verge of saying something but stopped.
Actually, today was the first time Molly had spoken to her like that. There hadn’t been an occasion before.
But Gu Yan didn’t give her a chance to explain, taking her hand and saying, "Let’s go back to the dorm. I brought some really delicious durian cupcakes from home that you haven’t tried yet."
"...Alright."
Forget it, Molly wasn’t a good person anyway. Let her carry this burden for now.
