Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 648: I’m Not Going to Eat You

Previously, Vivian had agreed to watch a movie with Gu Yan, and of course, an incident occurred, luckily, it was just a false alarm.

Then, before the midterm examination, Gu Yan invited Vivian to go shopping, and as it happened, they grew tired and found themselves next to the Su Family restaurant, so Gu Yan suggested dining there.

Going to Commander’s mansion made Vivian very resistant, but dining at the Su Family restaurant was fine by her.

Not wanting too much noise, Gu Yan asked for a private room, and after they entered, Gu Yan ordered the dishes and then stood up saying, "I’ll go to the bathroom for a moment."

"Do you need me to accompany you?" The incident that occurred in the bathroom before had left a psychological shadow on Vivian.

Gu Yan shook her head, "It’s fine, this is the Su Family restaurant."

Vivian thought about it and realized that Gu Yan’s mother, Su Wan, was the owner of the Su Family restaurant. She certainly wouldn’t have any trouble here, so she nodded and didn’t insist further.

Meanwhile, after leaving the private room, Gu Yan walked a few steps and pushed open another private room’s door.

Gu Chen was now the king of Landis Star and certainly wouldn’t appear before the public so easily. He had arrived here half an hour earlier, discreetly aboard an ordinary aircraft.

Gu Yan sighed and said, "You two had better talk things out, whether or not you end up together, I don’t want to lose this friend."

Gu Chen: "Rest assured, I’ll say this was forced by me."

Gu Yan shook her head, "Do you think Vivian will believe that? Go ahead and have a good chat, I’ll wait here."

Gu Chen nodded. The table was already set with some dishes that his sister usually liked to eat; sitting here, he wouldn’t be too bored.

Then he stood up and walked out.

In fact, sitting here alone, Gu Yan was quite bored.

She took a few bites of the food on the table, thought for a moment, took photos of the feast and sent them to Bai Li.

Speaking of which, Bai Li had not contacted her for several days, which was quite unusual.

However, Gu Yan also knew that there were no issues lately, so after some thought, she took photos of the food on the table and sent them to Bai Li.

If he asked where she was,

she would say she was dining with Vivian at the Su Family restaurant and could pack some delicious food for him.

But... a few minutes passed, and there was no activity on her smart AI.

Gu Yan frowned, "Xiaofu, is my smart AI broken?"

Xiaofu: "Master, your smart AI is operating normally and is not broken. If you want a reply from Bai Li, you can directly call him on the main comms."

Gu Yan: "..."

It just goes to show that sometimes the intelligence level of the smart AI being too high is not necessarily a good thing.

On the other side, Gu Chen had already entered the private room. His tall stature and long legs, coupled with a powerful aura, made the small room feel cramped the moment he entered.

This was even after Gu Chen had restrained himself.

But, even with his restraint, Vivian was almost frightened to jump at his sudden appearance. If Gu Chen hadn’t been blocking the door, she would have probably bolted out already.

"Your, Your Majesty, what brings you here? Where’s Xiaoyan?"

"She will come over in a while, Vivian, I want to talk to you."

Vivian stood there, her hands on the table, trying to appear more composed, "What is it that Your Majesty wishes to discuss with me?"

"It’s about you and me."

"..."

Vivian felt even more nervous as Gu Chen was so direct; she was quite troubled lately, knowing she should not get close to Gu Chen, which made her all the more tormented.

Gu Chen was too wonderful, and it was expected for her to develop feelings for him.

But it was precisely this affection that made Vivian’s heart ache even more.

Seeing her frown, Gu Chen pushed a glass of juice toward her, "Relax a little, I’m not going to eat you."

Vivian’s cheeks were flushed, "Your Majesty, please, don’t joke around."

"I am not joking, although it’s true that my beast transformation form is a wolf, and your beast transformation form is a rabbit."

"..."

"So, can you tell me what exactly is the concern in your heart?"

Vivian suddenly raised her head, looking at Gu Chen in astonishment—why had the topic shifted so quickly!

Seeing the surprise written all over her face, Gu Chen’s brows faintly furrowed.

Indeed, she did like him, but she harbored significant concerns, and it was these concerns that made her want to stay away from him.

And Gu Chen believed he had the ability to resolve those concerns.

Vivian, who was always not good with words, struggled all the more due to the huge conflicts between her emotions and her family ties. She nearly bit through her lip, yet not a single word came out.

Gu Chen actually didn’t want to pressure her like this, and he softened his tone, saying gently, "This is the first time in many years that I have felt differently towards someone. So, Vivian, even if you must sentence me to death, you still need to tell me the reason."

He opted for a gentler, more moderate way of speaking.

Vivian’s eyes were downcast, not daring to look at him, her knuckles white from gripping the glass too tightly.

The white long ears had already appeared, drooping over her shoulders, their tips trembling slightly.

"On Ancient Earth, there is a very famous story, but it is a tragedy. I think, Your Majesty, you must know which story it is, right?"

Gu Chen frowned, "That’s too vague."

Although he was not deeply versed in the literature of Ancient Earth, two people in his family were very fond of Ancient Earth’s stories—that was his mother Su Wan and his sister Gu Yan.

After saying this, Vivian had already stood up. She bowed to Gu Chen, a hint of panic still in her eyes, but she had calmed down.

She said, "Your Majesty, please tell Xiaoyan I had to leave due to an urgent matter."

Gu Chen stood up, "You don’t need to leave; this was my doing to get rid of Xiaoyan, so don’t blame her."

Vivian didn’t reply.

Gu Chen turned and walked out.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan had not received a reply from Bai Li. She frowned, wondering if the other party might be busy? Or, perhaps, did they think that sending a picture wasn’t significant?

When she saw her brother returning, Gu Yan momentarily set aside the matter.

"Big brother, how did it go?"

"She gave me a clue, we can talk about this later. You go back to the private room first."

"Okay."

Gu Yan quickly returned to the private room only to find it empty. She sent a message to Vivian, but there was no reply. Anxiously, she grabbed a passing server.

"Where is the friend who came with me to this private room?"

"Oh, she left, she just boarded a public flyer."

"..."

Gu Yan knew that her actions on behalf of her brother might anger Vivian, but she thought there would be room for explanation.

After all, when it comes to matters of the heart, clarity is needed.

Yet, Vivian had not left any room for it.

Gu Yan hurriedly tried to reach Vivian via communication, but, just the same, her call was outright rejected.

Gu Yan: o(╥﹏╥)o

What’s going on today, why is nobody replying to my messages...
