Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 685 Related to Our Family

This sensation was unfamiliar and uncomfortable, yet it made her heartbeat quicken, and she couldn’t extricate herself.

If things continued this way, there was bound to be trouble!

Gu Yan touched her tingling lips, steeling her heart, she directly asked the question!

"Brother Little Mushroom, have you ever considered... what our relationship is?"

Bai Li gently supported Gu Yan, worried she might fall, and asked seriously, "What kind of relationship does Xiaoyan hope we have?"

Gu Yan lightly bit her lip corner, "It’s not about what I hope for, but rather... I’m also very confused."

Bai Li didn’t like to see her frown, the cute girl he had watched growing up, wasn’t adorable when frowning.

He reached out his hand, intending to smooth the slight furrow between her brows.

Suddenly sensing something, Bai Li said softly, "Your parents have arrived."

Gu Yan was startled, her beautiful eyes wide; she looked around like a frightened little animal.

Bai Li leaned in again and kissed the corner of her mouth, saying, "Do you want me to meet your parents like this?"

"No way!" Gu Yan felt her current state, or rather, the state she and Bai Li were in, if her parents saw them like this...

She pursed her lips and said, "We should separate for now... let’s figure out our relationship first!"

Although, Gu Yan admitted to herself that she felt something different for Brother Little Mushroom.

But she did not accept an unclear relationship!

It had to be kinship, friendship, or... love!

Bai Li could feel that Gu Yan was emotionally unstable and her heart was racing; he hummed in agreement, then waved his hand to remove the spatial fold and disappeared at the same time.

The next moment, he appeared beside a bewildered Ji Mu, then grabbed him, and the next moment they teleported outside Principal Gu Lei’s office.

Ji Mu looked puzzled, "My Lord?"

Bai Li: "I’ve finished touring the campus, and I have something I want to discuss with Principal Gu Lei."

Ji Mu: "Oh, okay."

Meanwhile, Su Wan and Gu Jue’s aircraft had just landed at the entrance of Empire University. Su Wan looked grave, while Gu Jue frowned slightly. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Wanwan, what’s wrong?"

"I just remembered something very important that I need to ask Lord Insect God alone."

"..."

The sour and bitter feeling in Commander Gu’s heart rose again.

Nevertheless, he remembered what his Wanwan had said before, so he didn’t express his jealousy directly.

Instead, he firmly followed his wife, determined to go with her to find that Insect God.

As Su Wan walked inside, she called her daughter Gu Yan, but the call rang several times without being answered.

Just as Su Wan’s brows began to furrow, the call was finally picked up.

"Mom, what is it? I was just reading in the library, now I’m out, here in the corridor."

"Are you alone?"

"...Yes."

Su Wan could tell that her daughter’s voice was different from usual... surely she was feeling guilty?

But she did not directly confront her daughter.

She said, "Oh, I happened to be at Empire University for some business, and I wanted to ask if you had lunch. If not, come with me to a restaurant later."

"No need, Mom, I’ve already eaten."

"Alright then, continue with your reading."

"Okay."

Su Wan put down her light-brain device, and Gu Jue said to her, "Gu Lei just sent a message saying that the Insect God is currently in his office."

Without hesitation, Su Wan said, "Let’s go, we will head to Uncle Lei’s office."

Gu Jue nodded, following his wife’s pace, and then suddenly asked, "Wanwan, have you discovered something?"

Su Wan’s steps faltered slightly as she responded, "There’s still one thing I haven’t figured out yet. Once I do, I’ll tell you."

Gu Jue asked, "Is it related to me?"

Su Wan replied, "It’s related to our family."

Gu Jue didn’t continue to ask, having been married for so many years, he trusted his wife a great deal. Yes, as long as it wasn’t his wife having an affair, any other problem was manageable.

The two of them walked on, and the teachers and students they passed along the way saluted them. When they reached Gu Lei’s office, they overheard people inside discussing matters related to exchange students.

Gu Lei was always serious and focused in his work, and the Insect God was sitting on the sofa opposite him, wearing an expression of neither sorrow nor joy.

This was the scene Su Wan encountered as she pushed the door open and entered.

Bai Li’s gaze shifted towards her, indifferent.

Gu Lei paused in surprise, "Xiaowan, what brings you here?"

Su Wan said, "Well, I just happened to be passing by and remembered that Lord Insect God probably hasn’t had lunch yet, so I wanted to invite Lord Insect God to have lunch with us at the nearest Su Family restaurant. How about it, will Lord Insect God do us the honor?"

As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Bai Li.

Bai Li lowered his eyes slightly and said, "All right."

The group made their way to the Su Family restaurant. Su Wan had already had the lobby manager prepare a private room and dishes in advance. Besides the husband and wife, Gu Jue, and Su Wan, there was also Gu Lei.

And Gu Zilan who had just arrived.

On the Insectoid side were the Insect God, Lina, and they had brought along a Ji Mu.

Logically speaking, Ji Mu shouldn’t have been qualified to be there, and what made him even more uneasy was the fact that the dining table was occupied by several big shots of Landis Star—not to mention, they were all Gu Yan’s elders!

Yet, Su Wan suddenly smiled warmly and said to Ji Mu, who was sitting uneasily with trembling butterfly wings, "You must be Ji Mu, right? I’ve heard about you from Xiaoyan. During the military training, you and your classmates saved Xiaoyan, didn’t you?"

Ji Mu hastily responded, "No, no. It was mainly my classmate who did the heavy lifting, I was just... assisting!"

Su Wan remarked, "Such a modest young man."

Ji Mu felt an immense pressure and warily turned to look at his superior, feeling very uneasy inside.

Continuing the conversation, Su Wan said, "Right, the classmate who helped Xiaoyan with you, his name is Bai Li, correct?"

Ji Mu broke into a sweat, "Yes..."

"I heard he went back to your planet and isn’t returning, is that right?"

Ji Mu replied, "I’m not really sure about that. Maybe you should ask Teacher Lina!"

Lina, who was sitting next to him, thinking she was uninvolved in political matters and was simply there to enjoy the cuisine of the Su Family restaurant, lifted her head and looked at her student with narrowed eyes.

Her gaze was dangerous.

Ji Mu thought to himself that he could only pass the buck to the teacher! He dared not shuffle it to Lord Insect God!

After some thought, Lina said, "I haven’t received any orders from Commander Xi Le, and I’m also not sure if Bai Li will come back or not."

Pushing it to Commander Xi Le seemed about right.

Su Wan smiled slightly and continued, "Oh, is that so? I was quite interested in that child. Lord Insect God, do you know if that Bai Li will come back to our Landis Star or not?"

Bai Li watched Su Wan silently.

He thought to himself.

Gu Yan’s mother may seem gentle, but she is the most difficult person in the whole Gu Family!
