Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 63 Why is there such a big difference between men?
By the time the check-up was finished and everyone had left, only the small couple remained in the private rest room.
Even White Tiger knew what to do, controlling the housekeeping robot to squat in the corner and charge itself.
Su Wan was still immersed in the huge surprise of having a "golden finger" in her womb when she was suddenly hugged by Gu Jue.
His chin brushed against the soft hair on top of her head.
His movements were tender, but his voice was as cold and icy as ever.
"Xiaowan, after your military training is over, let’s get married."
Su Wan was startled and instinctively looked up, thankful that Gu Jue had dodged.
Otherwise, she would have bumped right into his chin.
Su Wan, "Aren’t we already married? Do you feel... that wedding was unfair to you?"
"No, it’s that I don’t want to be unfair to you."
Last time, during the Su Family’s restaurant opening, the couple made a public appearance, which announced their relationship.
But given Gu Jue’s prominent status, not having a wedding with his full title as Commander, there were always some unfriendly speculations about Su Wan from the outside world.
Even though Gu Jue always had people manage the public opinion, he still didn’t want anyone to slander his little beloved wife.
Su Wan’s reactions were a bit slow today, probably because her focus was on the "golden finger" inside her belly.
Gu Jue looked at her confused expression, and though his handsome face remained cool, his heart softened.
He bent down and kissed Su Wan’s forehead, "At that time, it won’t be too hard for you. You won’t have to worry about anything. Just be a beautiful bride."
She wouldn’t have to worry about anything?
Su Wan remembered the wedding preparation with Huo Yichang, choosing the banquet location, their outfits, inviting friends and family, among other things; most of it was managed by the Su Family and herself.
And what was the result?
The groom didn’t show up.
It almost caused Su Wan and the Su Family to lose face.
And now, the man of high status before her quietly said to leave everything to him.
Su Wan suddenly felt a sweet and warm feeling at the tip of her heart.
How could the difference between men be so vast?
Su Wan knew that, as a member of the Imperial Family and the top Commander of the Interstellar Federation, a formal wedding was a must.
Now that they already had a child on the way, Su Wan was not one to make a fuss.
She nodded generously, "Let’s go ahead with the wedding then. I’ll listen to whatever you arrange. If you need me to cooperate in any way, just tell me." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Perhaps because of the deeper bond between the two, Gu Jue subconsciously wanted to stay by Su Wan’s side.
Even though he was far from his Manic-Depressive Period.
But in reality, he couldn’t.
The Insect Clan, having been ’stood up’, were rampaging without restraint, and were even rumored to have destroyed a Federation military starship.
After receiving the communication from his adjutant, Gu Jue had no choice but to leave.
He stood up, donned his military cap, straightened his uniform, and turned to Su Wan, "The permissions for this private rest room have been opened for you, and I’ve also spoken to the instructor. You can continue with the training that suits you. For the ones that don’t, just come back here to rest."
"Okay."
"Also, I have sent you the contact details for the military doctor Ouyang Qing. If there’s anything wrong with your body, contact her directly."
"Mhm, mhm."
"And one more thing..."
Su Wan, having not rested much the night before and now experiencing a sudden mix of shock and joy from her pregnancy, was starting to feel fatigued and yawned, her eyes brimming with physiological tears.
She frowned slightly, muttering in a soft voice, "You’re so long-winded."
Gu Jue, "...Forget it, you should rest first."
The words "don’t miss me, I will be back soon" were swallowed back down.
Finally, Gu Jue left.
Su Wan collapsed onto the soft bed, her face burrowing into it, then she lifted her head and cupped her face in her hands.
Oh my goodness, she was actually pregnant!
There’s a little guy in my belly?
When Su Wan was a child, she sustained severe injuries, and waking up afterwards was already a medical miracle.
But her body was just too weak. After recuperating for two years, she was only able to temporarily restore her functionality to that of an ordinary person.
When she was about to marry Huo Yichang, the Huo Family privately said that Su Wan’s health was too poor and she definitely had no capacity to bear children.
So when Huo Yichang didn’t rush to the wedding, the Huo Family was quite happy about it at first.
Huo Jiaojiao was even schadenfreude, her mouth almost crooked with joy.
Later, when Su Wan’s marriage to Gu Jue was exposed, the most negative news online was that Su Wan was too frágil to deserve the First Commander.
It might even affect the First Commander’s progeny!
"Heh, affect your grandpa!" Su Wan touched her still flat belly and huffed.
This little joy, Su Wan really wanted to share with someone right now.
But the signal was being blocked.
So Su Wan sent a message to Gu Jue first.
Su Wan: Ajue, I want to contact my mom and tell her about the child, let her be happy too.
Su Wan: Is that okay?
Gu Jue, already onboard a starship heading towards his destination, was just a moment ago having a stern face, listening to his aide report the situation, but the next moment he saw the message from his little wife.
The cold lines on his face melted instantaneously.
The low air pressure surrounding him visibly rose!
The ice and snow melted, and spring blossomed.
Gu Jue: Okay, I’ll have White Tiger open a special encrypted signal channel for you.
Su Wan: Thank you, Ajue! ^_^
A touch of tenderness flickered in the stern Commander’s eyes.
When he lifted his head again, that tenderness was gone, his entire demeanor returned to being icy and fully aloof.
He instructed his aide, "Notify the remaining starships to move out together, this time, let’s clean them out for good!"
The aide didn’t know why the Commander was suddenly so angry.
But they had also disliked those bugs for a long time, and immediately said yes and began to convey the Commander’s orders.
After finishing setting up the special access for Su Wan’s brain-computer, White Tiger clicked his tongue.
The master just found out he’s going to be a father and hasn’t even had a good time with his wife, and these short-sighted bugs decide to cause trouble now.
They’re just asking for a beating.
Before the starship reached its destination, Gu Jue sent a message to Gu Zilan.
Gu Jue: Help me prepare a wedding.
Although Gu Zilan was overwhelmed with daily tasks, he always replied very quickly to his little uncle’s messages.
Gu Zilan: Little Uncle, have you finally decided to have a proper wedding?
Gu Jue: Mhm.
He looked up, gazing at the brilliant starry sky outside the glass window softening with a touch of tenderness.
Gu Jue: Zilan, you’re going to have a little cousin brother or sister.
"Damn!" Gu Zilan was stunned when he received the message!
And sitting in front of him were a bunch of Imperial Palace staff, staring dumbfounded at their Emperor.
Did His Majesty just swear just now?
More than wanting to swear, Gu Zilan was so excited he wanted to cry! Wuu, wuu, wuu, it was wonderful, not only did his little uncle marry, but now he was expecting, the Gu Family was going to flourish!
Thus, Gu Zilan stood up with a slam on the table, "No more meetings, go, prepare a wedding for me!"
The gray-haired head of the Ministry of Rites asked curiously, "Whose wedding are we preparing for? Are you and the Empress..."
"What nonsense, it’s my little uncle! My little uncle is getting married!"
Gu Zilan thought about it and decided to go back and discuss with the Empress. They absolutely had to arrange the most luxurious wedding in the universe for his little uncle and auntie!
