Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 682: Still Pretty Romantic

Gu Zilan did not want his wife to face these matters alone, so after putting down the light brain, he apologized to Bai Li.

"I have an urgent family matter to attend to and must go back to solve it. I’m very sorry, but you’ll have to explore the campus on your own for now. I’ll come to pick you up later."

Men of the Gu Family dote on their wives.

This fact is well-known not just on Landis Star, but throughout the entire universe.

Otherwise, the men of the Gu Family would not rank as the most desirable husbands on the entire Landis Star.

For Gu Zilan, state affairs are important, but his wife is even more important!

Bai Li nodded with a smile, "Go ahead with your things, don’t mind me. I’ll be fine as long as I have a student to accompany me on the campus tour."

This Insect God turned out to be particularly amenable. Gu Zilan exchanged a few more pleasantries and then immediately departed, with Gu Lei not staying much longer either.

The other students gradually dispersed, leaving only Lina and a few other Insectoid students standing before the Insect God.

Usually quite brash, Lina now exhibited the demeanor of a docile insect. When she had disagreements with Xi Le, she would retort a few times, but in the presence of the Insect God, she didn’t even entertain a semblance of rebellion.

Especially after the telepathic connection, such a shocking event.

This made all the Insectoids, including Lina, realize that the Insect God knew of any transgression committed by anyone in their race.

And the Insect God could, with a mere flick of his fingers, transform them all into ordinary people.

Ordinary people who would not survive in this cruel universe.

Lina spoke respectfully, "Lord, Empire University’s military academy is the finest. Would you like to start by touring that place?"

"Sure."

Bai Li half-lowered his eyes and then sent Ji Mu a message on the light brain.

Bai Li: Take her to the military academy and find me.

When Ji Mu received this message, he had already reached Gu Yan’s side. Since Gu Yan had left the dormitory, finding him proved quite a hassle.

Along the way, Ji Mu inquired with many female students.

When he found Gu Yan, he was breathing heavily, his colorful wings fluttering vigorously.

"Gu Yan, I’ve finally found you!"

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, "What’s up, is something the matter?"

Ji Mu was about to speak but then hesitated; the words did a full circle on the tip of his tongue. He instead said, "Someone’s looking for you, asking you to go to the military academy."

Gu Yan paused, wondering who would be looking for him, asking him to go to the military academy, and then having Ji Mu pass on the message?

"Who is it?"

"You’ll know once you get there, let’s hurry!"

With a puzzled expression, Gu Yan followed Ji Mu, though he figured that there probably wasn’t anything amiss, as it was within the school grounds.

But still, he felt a bit odd.

Shouldn’t Ji Mu be with the other Insectoids, accompanying Bai Li at this time?

By the time Gu Yan followed Ji Mu to the military academy, and saw the aloof figure of Bai Li, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Ji Mu babbled on the side, "We need to choose a student from the school to guide Lord Insect God, and the president has approved this. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask the president yourself."

Gu Yan: "..."

By then, Bai Li had already taken a few steps forward and said to Lina and the others at his side, "Go on with your own tasks. I’ll be fine here with Ji Mu."

"As you wish."

Although Lina and the rest were curious, they immediately followed Bai Li’s command and decisively left.

And Bai Li had already approached Gu Yan.

Gu Yan suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed, she raised her head, thought for a moment, and politely said, "Hello."

Bai Li: "..."

Ji Mu immediately started making faces at the side, muttering under his breath, "Can you tell Gu Yan?"

He seemed to have gotten hold of an incredible secret, so excited that his butterfly wings were trembling.

Bai Li stared steadily at the very polite and distant Gu Yan, and pursed his lips before saying, "No need."

Ji Mu: ???

Gu Yan: =,=

Ji Mu quickly realized, could it be that Lord Insect God never told Gu Yan about his real identity?

But then again, it made sense, after all, Gu Yan was indeed the daughter of Commander Gu Jue!

Tsk, tsk, but who would have thought Lord Insect God had quite a flair for romance!

Ji Mu cleared his throat and then said, "Gu Yan, let’s accompany Lord Insect God for a tour around the campus."

Gu Yan’s eyes partly closed, "Okay."

Meanwhile, back in his office, Gu Lei had been in several meetings before he finally got a break, and he still remembered that the Insect God was in his school.

Gu Lei asked a teacher, "Which student did the Insect God end up choosing to be the guide?"

The teacher accessed their light brain, seemingly asked someone, then said with a bit of surprise, "It turned out to be Student Gu Yan."

Gu Lei paused.

He still remembered that a certain Insectoid exchange student named Bai Li was quite close to Xiaoyan, but that exchange student had left Landis Star early due to some matters.

Now, the Insect God had specifically asked Xiaoyan to be the guide—did he know Xiaoyan? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

That teacher thought for a moment and said, "There’s also an Insectoid student, named Ji Mu, acting as a guide. I heard that Student Gu Yan seems to have a good relationship with this Ji Mu student."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lei understood.

Ji Mu used to be Bai Li’s roommate, and during military training, they had rescued Xiaoyan together.

So they were somewhat acquainted and had called on Xiaoyan to be the guide?

Thinking about it carefully, how could the Insect God know Xiaoyan?

Gu Lei had the teacher keep an eye out, to ensure no problems arose, before turning to tend to other official duties.

Gu Zilan drove the flyer and arrived home in just over ten minutes.

Their house was not particularly large, as mainly just the couple lived there now, since Ruanruan had moved out after getting married.

But the garden was very large, filled with many beautiful plants and flowers.

There were some extremely cherished varieties that were quite rare—all acquired by Su Wan for Luo Manya, and some planting expertise was also provided by Su Wan for Luo Manya.

Their families had always been on good terms, but humans are innately social creatures, everyone has relatives and friends... you can’t guarantee that all the relatives and friends around you share the same values and worldview.

For example, right now, Gu Zilan’s house was bustling with many guests, but these were uninvited and came with various ulterior motives.

The reason for their visit was to persuade Gu Zilan and Luo Manya to have another child.

There were no issues with the health of Gu Zilan and Luo Manya, and with the advancement of technology, the average lifespan of a Beastman was now over two hundred years, and the lifespan of purebred humans had also increased.

This meant, physiologically speaking, there was still a chance for Gu Zilan and Luo Manya to have another child.

If necessary, they could even resort to medical technology.

But Gu Zilan couldn’t bear to let Luo Manya go through the ordeal again, and besides, they already had Ruanruan. If they really wanted another child, they would have had one by now and not waited until this moment.
