Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 623: Fated Partner

Su Wan frowned, explaining the situation with her eldest son.

"Xiaochen’s condition definitely makes him unsuitable to attend the Universe Alliance meeting."

Gu Jue: "Hmm, I will talk to him later. I’ll go this time."

The group from the Universe Alliance, having been low-key for so many years, must have caught wind of something. They believe Xiaochen has some physical ailment.

That’s why they are taking advantage of this time to summon Xiaochen, planning to do something.

If Gu Jue went instead... Su Wan thought for a moment, the cowards would probably chicken out immediately like quails, but... 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Ajue, Gu Qingyu still hasn’t identified the specific reason behind the sudden madness in beastmen, but he said it should be a direction of evolution. Because the unmarried beastmen who fell ill all have a high Beast Transformation Level and strong spiritual power. Also, I’ve noticed that not a single mermaid beastman has fallen ill. I’ve relayed this to Gu Qingyu, hoping he can find some pattern in it."

Gu Jue: "We can think of it in a positive light, that this phenomenon might be a tendency in the evolution of beastmen, since the universe is developing and changing every day. But with Xiaochen, it might also be my genetic inheritance."

When Gu Jue was young, his spiritual power was unstable due to its overwhelming strength, which is why he spent so long in the Beastman Breeding Center.

Su Wan, aware of his childhood experiences, reached out and hugged her husband.

Gu Jue’s voice was gentle, "Don’t worry about me. Didn’t you show up and rescue me?"

Suddenly recalling what Gu Qingyu had said about Xiaochen, Su Wan had a thought, "Ajue, when you first saw me, did you feel anything special?"

"Hmm, I had a feeling that you were my predestined partner. Of course, I didn’t understand at first, I just couldn’t help wanting to be close to you."

Su Wan’s thoughts stirred, and she reached out to wrap her arms around the neck of Commander Gu. A fluffy tail came exploring over, skillfully entwining her lower legs...

At dawn, the first beam of sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, hitting the floor.

In the shadowy corner of the softly cushioned large bed, the rabbit-eared girl had not yet awakened, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Vivian had not slept well that night.

The mad beastman had truly frightened her. In her dreams, she was constantly running, running without end. Actually, Vivian could run very fast, faster than most beastmen could chase.

But in the dream, the mad beastman was always behind her, and she could even hear his dangerously close breathing!

Vivian dared not stop, feeling as if she might run herself to death, completely drained of strength and on the brink of depleting her spiritual power.

Her legs had turned to jelly, like noodles, utterly incapable of exerting any force, unable to run any longer...

Just when Vivian thought she was going to die, suddenly a light appeared before her eyes, and a pair of strong hands steadied her.

Against the light, Vivian couldn’t see the face of the person, but she could see that they had dog ears, and the aura they emitted was even more terrifying than the mad beastman behind her!

Vivian: !!!!!!!!

She startled awake, sitting up and gasping for air, like a fish jumping onto the shore, gasping for oxygen.

But after a few seconds, she calmed down a bit. After all, she was alone in the room now, with no raging beastmen or fearsome werewolves around...

Hey? Where is this?

Just as Vivian’s heart had relaxed, it tensed up again. She looked around and then, the household robot in the corner automatically activated and approached her, saying very politely, "Miss Xiaoyan, you’re awake. Is there anything you need? Would you like some water?"

Vivian: "Where, where is this?"

The housekeeping robot: "This is Commander Gu’s residence. Miss Xiaoyan instructed me to take care of you. May I ask, do you really not need a glass of water?"

Vivian was indeed a bit thirsty.

And hearing that it was the Gu Yan’s house, she actually felt somewhat nervous; after all, she had promised her mother not to come here again, yet she ended up here anew.

However, since it was the Gu Yan’s house, it proved that she was now safe.

But having not returned home the whole night, her mother must be extremely worried!

Vivian asked the housekeeping robot to pour her a cup of warm water and then hurriedly turned on her photon computer, only to see so many messages from her mother.

The most recent message asked her to contact her mother upon waking up.

Vivian knew that at this time her mother should have just gotten up, so she directly made a projection call, and Julia picked up quickly.

In the projection, Julia looked somewhat wan, with dark circles under her eyes—it was clear she hadn’t slept all night.

But upon seeing her daughter awake and looking rosy and in fairly good condition, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Vivian, you’re okay now, right?"

"Mom, yes, I’m okay now, sorry for making you worry."

"It’s all right now that you’re okay. Gu Yan already told me about yesterday’s incident... we have to thank His Majesty and the Gu family for this time. Are you going straight home later, or to school?"

Vivian thought for a moment and decided that her body was fine; she didn’t want to miss any classes. Julia also expressed her understanding, and said, "Then, let me know before you get out of school; I’ll come to pick you up."

"There’s no need, mom."

"I’m worried about you."

"... Okay then."

After finishing the call with her mother, Vivian also felt a bit guilty as she had indeed caused her mother great anxiety. But how did she get so unlucky as to encounter that crazed beastman?

The door was then pushed open, and Gu Yan entered with a cup of warm water, concern in her eyes, "Vivian, how do you feel, is there any part of your body still uncomfortable?"

Vivian shook her head, "I’m fine now, Xiaoyan, thank you so much."

Gu Yan: "Don’t be polite with me, seeing you’re alright is a relief. Have you contacted your mother? She’s very worried and asked you to call her when you woke up."

"Yes, I already called." Vivian hesitated for a moment and then softly added, "Last night, it was His Majesty who happened to pass by there and saved me, right?"

"Yes, that’s right. It just happened that my elder brother finished his official duties and passed by there." Mentioning this, Gu Yan still felt a chill, "I was going to take you home before because things have been rather unstable lately. How about this, until everything settles down, I’ll take you home every day; it won’t take much more time. If my elder brother hadn’t happened to pass by there this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Vivian herself felt a chill as well and after thinking for a moment, nodded.

Gu Yan held her hand, "So, are you going to rest at home today, or will you go to school with me later?"

"I’m fine, I’ll go to school. I’ve already told my mom as well."

"All right, that’s fine. However, if you feel uncomfortable later, you can go see the school doctor."

"...Xiaoyan, I want to thank His Majesty in person."
