Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 642: Going on a Movie Date

Su Wan was actually very open-minded about her children’s future marriages.

Not to mention different species, even if they brought home a same-sex partner, she could accept it.

As long as the children were happy, that was what mattered.

For instance, it was quite obvious that Xiaochen had developed feelings for the young girl Vivian, but as for what level their relationship would progress to in the future, Su Wan did not plan to intervene, preferring to let the two children handle it themselves.

However, with Xiaoyan, the other party was an Insect God.

Moreover, after the conversation they just had, Su Wan felt that although the Insect God was very nice to Xiaoyan, he did not have romantic feelings for her.

Her heart sank.

As for Bai Li over here, after chatting with Su Wan, he always felt as if he had overlooked something.

Emotional hurt?

After exiting the conference room, Su Wan finally called her daughter’s light brain. Once she confirmed that her daughter was in the dorm, she went straight there.

Gu Yan was both surprised and delighted by her mother’s sudden visit, and she immediately went out to welcome her.

"Mum, why are you here?"

"I had some business at Empire University. After I finished, I came to see you. Don’t you have classes today?"

"I have one class; it’s in the afternoon."

The mother and daughter entered the dormitory. Vivian was not there; she had gone out. Gu Yan did not know when it had started, but Vivian was no longer inseparable from her.

Gu Yan whispered to her mother, "Mum, I feel... Vivian seems to have no other feelings for my brother, apart from respect for his status and recognition of his excellence."

"Oh, what happened?"

Gu Yan relayed exactly what Vivian had said that day.

After listening, Su Wan said, "She doesn’t dislike Xiaochen; it’s just that she probably has some major concerns, or maybe she feels very inferior. Of course, she did have a point about one thing. Personality-wise, she indeed is not as suitable as Luo Manya was to sit in the Empress’s position."

"But I feel that if my brother truly likes her, he wouldn’t let her face any unpleasantness, and would protect her in every way possible."

"Of course, Xiaochen has the ability to do that, but if Vivian can’t overcome this psychological hurdle, I’m afraid they won’t be happy together."

Gu Yan was a bit bewildered.

She had previously thought that her brother liking Vivian and Vivian not disliking her brother meant that the two of them getting together would be a matter of course.

But now it seemed that was not the case?

Seeing the slight frown on her daughter’s face, Su Wan said softly, "Xiaoyan, if it were you, liking someone who doesn’t like you back, what would you do?"

Gu Yan was stunned.

In her mind, the image of Brother Little Mushroom flashed subconsciously. There was no doubt about her liking Brother Little Mushroom, but... was it the same as her brother liking Vivian?

Although Brother Little Mushroom had always been nice to her, very nice over all these years...

But was Brother Little Mushroom’s kindness to her, the same as her brother’s towards Vivian?

Su Wan sighed softly and stroked her daughter’s long hair, saying, "Xiaoyan, for your future partner, as long as you like him and he likes you and treats you well, that’s enough. However, Mum has one requirement: do not marry and move to an alien planet. As long as you’re on Landis Star, no matter what, we will protect you in every way. But if you go elsewhere, we will worry about you."

Huh, Insect God, if you want to take away my daughter, then come and become a son-in-law on Landis Star!

No more discussion!

Gu Yan’s cheeks flushed red, "Mom, what are you talking about, who said anything about finding a partner? Gu Ruanruan only found a partner after graduating from Empire University and joining the military, you know."

"You’re an adult now, don’t miss out on someone you like, but don’t let yourself get hurt, understand?"

"Yeah, I know, mom definitely wants the best for me!"

The mother and daughter talked softly and slowly about many things, and after a while, Vivian came back.

Vivian, holding her textbooks, was very uneasy when she saw Su Wan, "Commander Su, h-hello."

Su Wan noticed, this kid seemed to get nervous every time she saw their family... oh, maybe with the exception of Xiaoyan, she was uneasy around the other family members.

But if you say Vivian was afraid of Ajue, afraid of Xiaochen, that could be understood, but there was no need for her to be afraid of Su Wan or Xiaoyu.

Su Wan looked at Vivian again more closely and realized that this young girl was not scared of her. Instead, she was deliberately keeping her distance, not wanting to get too close...

She restrained her expression, said nothing, but smiled and said, "I brought some snacks for you, eat up, I have to go back to the military department now."

"Okay, mom, I’ll walk you out."

Before leaving, Gu Yan whispered, "Mom, about big brother and Vivian’s situation..."

Su Wan: "Don’t worry about it, just continue being friends with her, roommates even. Let your big brother figure out his own love life."

"Right."

Because Gu Yan had also noticed that every time big brother was mentioned, Vivian would act strangely, to the point she later dared not bring it up anymore.

As long as she didn’t mention big brother or her family, Vivian seemed to be fine.

She felt a bit distressed.

What’s going on here?

After seeing her mother off, Gu Yan turned around, took out the snacks her mother had brought, and shared some with Vivian. Vivian seemed a bit reluctant but accepted them nonetheless.

Vivian said, "Oh Xiaoyan, remember you mentioned before that the movie written by my aunt has been released? Let’s go watch it together."

"Sure."

In fact, Gu Yan had previously thought of inviting her family to watch the movie, but knowing Vivian’s reservations, she ended up only inviting Bai Li and Ji Mu.

Bai Li had been pondering over these days about his relationship with Xiaoyan, but he didn’t mind going to see Xiaoyan, whereas Ji Mu, the social butterfly, when he learned that four of them would go to the movies together, quickly picked out several outfits.

"Bai Li, which outfit do you think looks better on me?"

Bai Li glanced at them only briefly, feeling they all looked similar, his brows furrowed, "Aren’t they all the same?"

Ji Mu: "...How are they the same! There’s a huge difference! This set is casual style, that one is the refined bad boy look, oh, and this one is the cool to the core look, that one is the cute and fluffy puppy look."

Bai Li was speechless, "Aren’t you forgetting that you’re just tagging along?"

"I know, but this way I can chat with Vivian, and that gives more private time to you and Gu Yan, right?"

Ji Mu glanced at Bai Li who had no preparations for the movie outing tomorrow and complained, "Bai Li, this won’t do, you know. This is practically your first official date with Gu Yan, don’t tell me you’re planning to go in your school uniform, are you?"

"Is that a problem?"

"Of course it’s a problem! Right now, those jerks on campus are saying you’re not good enough for Gu Yan, you need to show your best side to attract them even more! Although you’re not as handsome as me, don’t be discouraged! You can surely do it, just take Gu Yan’s hand and blind those animals with envy!"
