Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 627 Blooming Romance

Gu Yan’s eyes suddenly tightened, and she even took two steps back.

"Vivian, what, what are you talking about?"

"If you like him, then everything can be explained clearly. After all, you two are not related by blood, but you get along so well, oh right, he helped us during military training before, probably out of consideration for you. Also, at that social gathering the other day, you two even danced together."

Vivian said with sparkling eyes, "Xiaoyan, actually, when I think about it, you two are a perfect match!"

Gu Yan’s mouth opened, but she couldn’t explain that Bai Li was Brother Little Mushroom, and the fact that they had known each other for a long time.

Her cheeks were slightly warm.

For some reason, Gu Yan felt a bit flustered, and even faintly remembered the feeling of Bai Li kissing her forehead on the rooftop before.

Very gentle.

Vivian, seeing her like this, thought she was shy and considerately dropped the subject, and then said, "By the way, Xiaoyan, my aunt who’s a screenwriter has a movie coming out. We should go watch it later."

Gu Yan didn’t want to continue the previous topic either, because her heartbeat was too fast.

Curiously, she said, "Your aunt is a screenwriter? That’s really amazing! But it’s still not safe out there, so, how about asking my brother to go with us later?"

In fact, Gu Yan’s first reaction was to invite Bai Li, but then she remembered he was not at school these days, as he had to attend the Alliance meeting.

Vivian smiled and said, "It’s so much trouble to ask your brother. For him, the lab is definitely more enticing than a movie. How about we call Bai Li then, and later on, we can invite Ji Mu too. With the four of us going out together, it won’t be dangerous."

Truth be told, Vivian couldn’t stand Ji Mu; he was very pretty, but way too noisy!

However, for the sake of her best friend’s happiness, Vivian decided to still create opportunities for her.

She said, "You can consider carefully then, what your feelings for Bai Li really are."

Gu Yan: "..."

What kind of feelings could they be? They must be the same as with my older and younger brothers, of course!

Gu Yan turned her head to face her friend’s teasing look, and suddenly said with an air of defiance, "You’ve never been in a relationship yourself, so how can you be advising me? Could it be, you have someone you like too?"

Vivian was taken aback, not expecting the topic to turn to herself. She pursed her lips, "I, I haven’t been in one, but I have a lot of theoretical knowledge! I, I don’t like anyone either."

"I thought you liked Ji Mu."

"Him?" Vivian shook her head vigorously, her long bunny ears flopping back and forth, "How could that be possible? He’s quite the social butterfly, and once he starts talking, he doesn’t stop. Although he’s not a bad person, he’s just not my type."

"So what type of guy do you like?"

"I..." Vivian thought for a moment and then slowly said, "He must be very steady, responsible, and capable. It would be best if he were strong enough to protect me. Because I am too weak and too foolish. Also, he needs to be good to me..."

For some reason, as she spoke, the image of a certain person surfaced in her mind...

Gu Yan made a sound of realisation, "You’ve described it so specifically, tsk tsk, do you already have someone in mind?"

"No!"

The two girls started to fool around and playfully argue.

For them, love was still a mysterious and novel thing, perhaps it was the haziness of something that seemed close yet had not started that caused a bud of feelings to start emerging in the depth of their hearts.

Gu Chen was very determined to attend this Universe Alliance meeting, which surprised Gu Zilan, but his opposition was ineffective because Gu Jue had agreed.

After finding out, Su Wan, while still worried about her son, respected his decision.

Eventually, they assigned the highly sober and reliable Senior Commander Li Rui as the main person to accompany him, staying close to Gu Chen at all times.

In addition, there was an escort squad of ten senior Beastmen.

As she watched her eldest son board the universe spaceship and leave, Su Wan’s eyes were still filled with deep concern.

Gu Jue reached out, embracing her shoulders, "Wanwan, there’s no need to worry too much. Xiaochen and I have talked thoroughly, and he will control himself well because he already has a girl he fancies."

Su Wan had an expression that said, ’I knew it.’

Gu Jue’s eyebrows raised slightly, "You seem to have known all along?"

"No, I just guessed. And at that time, Xiaochen probably hadn’t made up his mind yet. Regardless, since he says he can control himself, he’s also an adult. Let’s try to trust him."

"Mm." Gu Jue didn’t press further on who Xiaochen liked, as this matter would worry his wife.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen sat in the spaceship, resting with his eyes closed. He had just taken an enhanced version of his exclusive medicine. Of course, his body definitely felt uncomfortable, but he could prevent his wolf ears and tail from appearing.

During this time, subordinates came to ask him about official matters, and Gu Chen’s tone was calm, not showing any signs of being affected by the Manic-Depressive Period.

In truth, the Universe Alliance did indeed prepare a grand gift for Gu Chen—ten carefully chosen beauties, one from each species and of various styles.

Odlande was surprised and said, "I didn’t expect Gu Chen to actually come. Could our information be wrong, and he has no trouble with bouts of Manic-Depressive Period frenzy?"

The bearded Ken said beside him, "Maybe this year’s Manic-Depressive Period is already over for him?"

Ji Rui was the most thoughtful person at the round table, but lately, he had been somewhat melancholic because for these past few years, he vigorously pursued Gu Ruanruan, only to have her marry a pure human in the end?

When Ji Rui first started pursuing Gu Ruanruan, it was with a lot of self-interest because even if Gu Chen took that position, Gu Ruanruan’s status on Landis Star would definitely be very high.

Not to mention, her Beast Transformation Level was high, and her combat power was strong.

But after pursuing her for a while, and as they interacted more often, Ji Rui actually started to truly like this spirited and valiant girl.

But she had remained indifferent to him.

Eventually, she married someone else... If she had married an outstanding Beastman from Landis Star, he might have been okay with it.

But who could have imagined that she would marry a pure human who was merely more intelligent?

Ji Rui didn’t speak for a long time, his face sullen. Odlande’s eyes shifted before he said, "Ji Rui, what’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, if he dared to come, he might just be bluffing. We’ll just have to adapt our plans on the fly."

Ken on the side cackled, "It looks like Gu Chen is in for a treat this time."

All ten women were meticulously selected by them, and if any of them succeeded, it would mean they succeeded as well.

After all, to some extent, they were already a coalition of interests.

Looking at the message sent by his subordinate, Odlande frowned slightly, "What? Lord Insect God is coming too? When we sent him an invitation, it was just a courtesy—I thought that at most, Xi Le would bring people over."
