Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 679: You don’t want me to come?

Gu Zilan, though he had stepped down from the throne, spent most of his time with his wife Luo Manya, living a leisurely life, just like his father, Gu Yuan.

Of course, since the universe was not entirely peaceful, Gu Zilan had not chosen to travel the universe with his wife.

What if they encountered the same incident that happened to his parents years ago?

Gu Zilan was a very cautious and intelligent man; it didn’t matter where he went, as long as he stayed with his wife Luo Manya, he was content.

Bai Li did not know whom Gu Jue would arrange as a guide for him; he actually had a preferred candidate in mind.

But... looking at the unwelcoming gaze from Gu Jue and his wife, the name he was about to mention lingered on his lips, unspoken for the time being.

"I was just thinking of taking a rest."

Gu Jue turned his head and gave an order to White Tiger, who fluttered its small wings and flew over.

"Lord Insect God, this way, please..."

Bai Li nodded slightly and followed White Tiger out of his seat, heading towards the guest rooms.

Only after he left did the strange atmosphere at the dining table completely relax, and Gu Chen furrowed his brows, looking at his parents, "What is Lord Insect God really here for? Why has he suddenly come to our home?"

Gu Jue sneered, "It’s best if he’s just acting on a whim and doesn’t have any particular purpose. Otherwise..."

Father and son exchanged understanding glances.

Su Wan: "..."

What to do? She had a premonition that the alliance between the two planets was about to end?

**

After returning to her room, Gu Yan paced back and forth continuously.

She felt excitement and emotion stirring within her, but when she calmed down, there was also a sense of deep unease.

It was complex and indescribable.

Brother Little Mushroom had come, appeared in their home, rightfully... But, it seemed like her parents were not very welcoming of him, were they?

But then again, she thought, it made sense.

The other’s identity was that of the Insect God of the Insect Clan, and even though the two planets were presently allies, the other party was, after all, the leader of an alien planet.

Yet, the fact that he was willing to come made Gu Yan very happy.

"What’s wrong with me?" she asked herself, patting her hot cheeks.

Xiaofu flew over, "Mistress, based on my internet search, these symptoms indicate that you are in love."

Gu Yan: "In love? Impossible!"

Xiaofu: "Longing to see someone, dreading the loss, your mood fluctuates between low and elated. Sometimes you’re very fond, sometimes you’re moody and sentimental, and you wish to share everything with the person you like..."

Gu Yan failed to respond for a good while.

Just then, Bai Li walked in from the door with composure, breaking Gu Yan’s train of thought.

"Brother Little Mushroom, you’ve come!" Gu Yan said nervously, "How did you enter through the main door?"

"No one noticed."

Bai Li took her hand and walked in, with a wave of his hand, he even shielded Xiaofu from detection.

Gu Yan, still apprehensive, said, "Your sudden visit to our home, especially under such a formal pretext, gave me quite the scare!"

Bai Li: "You do not wish for me to come?"

Gu Yan: "Of course, I wanted you to come!"

As the words left her mouth too hastily, Gu Yan remembered Xiaofu’s earlier comment and felt her ears burning hot.

The two had been apart for quite a long time; they caught up on recent events, mostly Gu Yan sharing her latest experiences... even though she had already told Bai Li about these in their communications.

All things, she just couldn’t wait to share with the person she liked.

Gu Yan suddenly paused in her tone.

Bai Li lifted his eyes to look at her, and his deep pupils were filled with confusion. Just as he was about to ask, a knock on the door came from outside.

"Xiaoyan, are you asleep?"

It was Su Wan’s voice!

Gu Yan anxiously looked towards Bai Li and mouthed in panic, "My mother is here!"

Bai Li’s handsome brows slighted furrowed.

He nonetheless walked skillfully to the window and then opened it.

After all, he had done this many times and was already very accustomed to it.

Only after Gu Yan was certain that Bai Li had truly left did she wet her own hair, then using a towel to dry it, she opened the door.

"Oh, Mom, I was just taking a bath, what’s up?"

Su Wan’s mouth turned up slightly, "Mm, Mom wants to talk to you about something."

Gu Yan was curious, "Is it so formal? Mom, whatever you want to say, just say it."

Su Wan lovingly touched her daughter’s long hair, "I’m here to talk to you about my time at Empire University."

Gu Yan always loved hearing her mother tell her own past stories, whether it was about her experiences on Ancient Earth, her time at school, or later joining the military, fighting Star Beasts, and piloting mechas.

She loved hearing all of it.

Although, Gu Yan didn’t understand why her mother suddenly decided to bring up this topic tonight.

The mother and daughter chatted for quite a while, and before they knew it, it was almost eleven o’clock. Su Wan lovingly touched her daughter’s long hair again, "It’s getting late today, Xiaoyan. Rest early."

"Mom, good night."

As Su Wan walked to the door, she paused in her steps, turned her head, and said, "Xiaoyan, remember that no matter what choices you make in the future, Mom loves you." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Mom, I love you too."

The tenderness at the corners of Su Wan’s mouth slowly dissipated after she left her daughter’s room, eventually turning into a sigh.

The Lord Insect God had been to her daughter’s room.

Although it seemed unlikely they were up to anything, as a mother, this feeling was just so uncomfortable!

What exactly was he intending?

It seemed she would have to have another talk with that Lord Insect God. Despite everything, Su Wan still couldn’t bring herself to say anything harsh to her daughter.

After returning to her bedroom, Commander Gu had just come back from the study. He was wearing a silver-grey homewear and black-rimmed glasses, and the whole person’s fierceness from piloting a mecha was tempered.

The current Gu Jue had a languid gentleness about him that only his wife, Su Wan, could see.

But now, the great Commander Gu found that his wife was frowning, seemingly entangled with some vexing issue.

"Wanwan, what’s wrong? Still wondering why the Insect God came to our house?"

Su Wan pursed her lips, "Mm."

Gu Jue stretched out his hand to embrace his wife, "Don’t worry, the entire mansion is under strict surveillance, and he hasn’t left the room the whole time."

Su Wan looked down, "Jue, you should know that he is called the Insect God for a reason, then surely he has his strengths. Otherwise, why would those Insectoids, like Xi Le, and even Doris who caused us trouble for many years, willingly follow his orders?"

"Also, the incident that happened today in the military interrogation room."

She lifted her head, "Although the Insect God seemingly spared those Insectoids on the surface, I think he must have given them an even more severe punishment."

Gu Jue soothingly patted his wife’s back, "Wanwan, there’s no need to worry, the Insect God is not our enemy. Moreover, this alliance can last for decades. I’ve talked with Xiaochen; if possible, we want to maintain this situation for as long as we can."

Su Wan didn’t know why, but suddenly her heart skipped a beat.
