Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 673: How far has Xiaoyan’s relationship with Insect God progressed?
Gu Jue finally knew what it meant to shoot himself in the foot, but with Wanwan being so persistent, he managed to suppress the urge to have someone immediately start the starship. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Su Wan saw him obediently retract his wolf ears and said, "Ajue, let’s talk business. Because of the Insectoid’s attack on our main star, there’s now great resentment among the residents toward the Insectoid. I’ve already interrogated those captives and had it confirmed... Some of them were indeed Xi Le’s subordinates."
Gu Jue: "I’ve asked the Insect God, and those people are indeed theirs. However, they seem to have been turned by Freya. The Insect God said that after the post-war negotiations, he would come with me to Landis Star. It looks like they want to use their own methods of the Insect Clan to deal with the traitors."
Su Wan: "Are you saying that this Insect God wants to come to our planet?"
Gu Jue acutely sensed that his wife seemed to mind this matter quite a bit, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wanwan, what’s wrong? Do you think the Insect God coming to our Landis Star will bring us danger?"
Su Wan: ...
Whether he could bring danger to Landis Star, Su Wan was unsure.
But he might kidnap their daughter Xiaoyan!
However, Su Wan knew her husband well. Given Ajue’s personality and his doting on their daughter Xiaoyan, if she spoke the truth now and said that the Insect God might be coveting their little Xiaoyan...
A galactic war might be imminent!
In the end, Su Wan said, "Alright, then let’s deal with those captives when you return. It’s getting late, and I’m going to rest. I still have to take care of the damaged buildings tomorrow."
At the time, Commander Gu’s mansion was under attack. Although the surrounding defenses had resisted the attack well, some of the neighbors’ houses were still affected by missiles.
Fortunately, there were no casualties; everyone had taken cover when the alarms sounded.
But there was extensive damage to the houses that needed to be managed.
Gu Jue didn’t want his wife to work too hard, so he didn’t keep her on the line too long and told her to rest early.
After ending the call with Gu Jue, Su Wan looked worriedly in the direction of her daughter’s room.
She didn’t know.
To what extent had Xiaoyan’s relationship with the Insect God progressed?
If Su Wan knew that neither of them were clear about how far their relationship had gone, she would probably laugh and cry, and then decisively chase away a certain scumbag Insectoid.
Even if their Xiaoyan was still young, the Insect God’s ambiguous behaviour—neither staying away nor acknowledging anything—was the hallmark of a scumbag!
Oh, spit—scumbag Insect!
Of course, if Xiaoyan truly fell for this Insect, and he dared to treat Xiaoyan poorly... Su Wan would definitely not let him off the hook!
Even if he was a very powerful Insect God!

The negotiations the next day went very smoothly.
It was mostly a unilateral absolute victory, with no room for bargaining at all. Whatever the winning side wanted, the losing side had to concede.
Even the representatives of the Universe Alliance, including Ji Rui, looked quite tense.
Freya, on the other hand, shifted her gaze from Gu Jue to Bai Li, and then back to Gu Jue.
Despite having to give up the two planets they had just acquired, and signing a contract to provide a vast amount of energy for the next ten years... Freya still watched the two men across from her with a very fixated gaze.
"Commander Gu, I’ve heard that you can control your Manic-Depressive Period. You can have as many as you want, whenever you want?"
Without changing expressions, Gu Jue said, "The energy provided each year, double it."
Freya chuckled, "Commander Gu’s partner must be very happy."
Gu Jue, "Double it."
Freya, "..."
The people from the Universe Alliance who were nearby immediately rushed over, even Ji Rui quickly said something to Freya with a nervous expression.
If you keep teasing like this, all our planets will be lost, and we will all wander the Universe together!
Throughout the meeting, Bai Li just sat there, not saying anything, until it was about to end. Then he suddenly lifted his head and said to Freya, "I’ll come to see you in a while."
Everyone was stunned, Ji Rui and the others looked at Freya with weird expressions, all of them filled with question marks.
Even Gu Jue slightly lifted his gaze to look at Bai Li.
Freya flippantly tossed her hair, "Sure, I’m always waiting for your arrival."
Bai Li gave her an indifferent glance and then turned to say to Gu Jue, "Commander Gu, let’s set off. Leave the follow-up matters to Xi Le and your deputies to handle."
"Okay."
Both were decisive in nature, saying go and just going, and left the remaining work to their subordinates.
Xi Le sighed and turned to talk to Li Rui, with whom he had dealt several times, only to find that he had already begun directing people, handling follow-up matters in an orderly manner.
Xi Le, "..."
As Gu Jue and the Insect God walked a few steps to part ways and return to their respective starships, before separating, the Insect God suddenly said, "Commander Gu, aren’t you curious why I want to see Freya?"
Gu Jue, "Isn’t that your own business?"
The Insect God looked down halfway, "We have been cooperating for many years, but you have been very cold and guarded towards me. Is it because... of our different races?"
Gu Jue, "I’m not sure."
It was an irresponsible answer, but in fact, it might have been the true feelings in Gu Jue’s heart.
The Insect God quietly looked at him and then waved, saying, "Alright, see you on Landis Star."
"Okay."
Although Landis Star had been attacked, there were no major losses; within a few days, the lives of the residents had returned to normal.
When Gu Yan was going to school, he happened to meet Ji Mu, who truly was sobbing as he said, "Ah, Gu Yan, I nearly never saw you again!"
Because certain matters had not been completely resolved, Ji Mu and other Insectoid exchange students, although they had their freedom, could not leave Empire University for the time being.
Gu Yan, "The ones who attacked us this time weren’t you guys, it was another breed of Insectoids, right?"
Ji Mu sighed, "Although that’s true, rumors have already begun circulating online, saying that we Insectoids are getting close to you with ulterior motives. Ah, the upperclassmen and underclassmen who used to have a good relationship with me are all starting to distance themselves from me."
Gu Yan’s mouth twitched, "I can’t help you with that."
But Ji Mu’s dejected mood only lasted a few seconds, then he excitedly and mysteriously said, "Gu Yan, you know, Bai Li is coming back!"
Gu Yan was aware that Brother Little Mushroom was coming.
But, was he coming back as the Insect God, or... as Bai Li?
Or, was he still wearing two vests at the same time?
For some reason, thinking about this made Gu Yan feel a bit stifled.
