Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 695: I Hope You Marry for Love

"Yes."

"He came to find you, so you could treat Vivian’s illness, right?"

"You could say that," Bai Li narrowed his eyes. He could feel that Gu Yan’s emotions had plummeted again, enveloped by negative spiritual power.

He slightly frowned.

Despite that, Gu Yan tried to calm herself down. Raising her head, she said, "Then please, help Vivian!"

Bai Li silently looked at Gu Yan, "Xiaoyan, do you really want me to help Vivian?"

Gu Yan: "You know, Vivian was my first friend. Even though her father is our family’s enemy, I... I hope Vivian can live a healthy life."

Bai Li: "Then do you know that Lucifer hopes I will release Doris, and then let Doris help him save Vivian?"

Gu Yan was stunned.

Bai Li: "Doris harbors strong hostility towards your parents. If I give Doris her freedom, she will definitely seek revenge against your parents. Under these circumstances, do you still want me to release Doris and let her go help Lucifer save Vivian?"

Gu Yan fell silent.

No, she couldn’t.

She cared deeply for Vivian, but if her parents’ safety was at stake, then Gu Yan’s heart would surely lean towards her parents.

The atmosphere between the two was incredibly somber today. Bai Li disliked this state.

He stood up, ready to leave.

Suddenly, Gu Yan thought of something and said, "Didn’t you have something to tell me just now?"

Without turning back, Bai Li responded, "Hmm, I’m going to be away for a while."

Gu Yan: "..."

The mood between them tasted of an unhappy parting, as if something was wedged between them. Despite a relationship that was once very familiar and close, it seemed unable to progress any further.

Xiaofu, watching its despondent master, went online to do some research and finally came to a conclusion.

It appeared that its master had, seemingly, suffered heartbreak...

Even though Gu Yan was deeply upset, she still rallied her spirits, thinking about how to tactfully convey Bai Li’s words regarding Lucifer’s intentions to her mother.

She worried whether Doris, if she did indeed escape, could pose any danger or trouble to her parents. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

After much thought, Gu Yan couldn’t find the perfect excuse, one that wouldn’t expose her relationship with Bai Li while still informing her parents about what Lucifer planned to do.

Fortunately, two days later, the opportunity finally arrived.

Today, Gu Chen finished his official duties early and went straight home. After Gu Yan and Gu Yu came home from school, the family of five had the rare chance to eat dinner together.

Su Wan casually asked her husband and son, "Has Lucifer already left Landis Star?"

Gu Jue: "We’ve searched. He’s no longer on Landis Star."

Gu Chen quickly said, "The locator shows that he should be on the Insect God’s planet now. It seems he still wants to find the Insect God to ask for this favor. Moreover, the Insect God left Landis Star two days ago."

With the locator, they could capture Lucifer at any time.

Right now, the reason the Gu Family had yet to act was that they were hoping Lucifer would cure Vivian first.

Su Wan noticed her daughter’s hand pause while holding chopsticks, the knuckles beginning to turn white. Without a word, she averted her gaze and blew on the hot milk in her hand.

"It’s just hard to know how Lucifer plans to have the Insect God help out."

Gu Yu had already done some research on Vivian’s condition, and he frowned, "Vivian’s problem lies in her soul. How can the Insect God help Lucifer with that?"

Gu Yan bit her lip and turned her head to look at her mother, "Mom, you said last time that Vivian’s situation was similar to yours back then, and you originally thought it was your Spatial Superpower protecting you... So, could Vivian’s situation also be related to Spatial Superpower, and Spatial Superpower..."

Su Wan understood her daughter’s meaning, and continued with her thought, "If it also has to do with Spatial Superpower, then... there is someone on the Insect God’s side who could help Lucifer out."

Gu Jue lifted his head, "Doris?"

Counting the past, Doris had also been an enemy of the Gu Family. That crazy woman really put them through a lot during the era of the Federal Empire.

She even destroyed the Mermaid Planet.

However, due to the existence of the Insect God, Doris over the years had become like a tiger without its teeth, not even able to roar anymore.

Su Wan was very clever; she immediately understood.

"Could it be that Doris wants to regain her freedom, so she had Lucifer go to the Insect God, and if she gets her freedom back, she will help Lucifer save Vivian?"

After hearing this, Gu Yan relaxed.

Gu Jue narrowed his eyes, "We absolutely can’t let Lucifer and Doris work together again. They are both madmen. If they cooperate, this universe will have no peace again."

Not to mention, there was Freya, leading a group of Insect Clan, eyeing them covetously.

Gu Chen immediately stood up, "I’ll get in touch with the Insect God."

Gu Jue also got up, "I’ll go with you."

Whether their collaborative relationship could continue also depended on what the Insect God had planned now.

Nowadays, Plantmen were moving closer to the people of the Landis Star, but Freya with her Insect Clan was preparing to join the Insect God’s planet.

Their alliance was on shaky ground.

At the dinner table, it soon left only Su Wan with her youngest son and daughter.

Gu Yu was still immersed in researching Vivian’s peculiar illness, "Using Spatial Superpower, how will we treat Vivian’s illness? Could it be that her soul is unstable and has wandered off somewhere else, and we need to bring it back?"

Gu Yan, however, looked down thoughtfully, worrying about what would happen if their relationship with the Insect Clan broke down. Would Brother Little Mushroom potentially become their enemy in the future?

Su Wan looked at her daughter, who was lost in thought, and with a soft sigh said, "Xiaoyan, after the meal, stay and help Mom tidy up the garden."

"Oh, okay."

Although household robots could also do these chores, like watering the garden and weeding, Su Wan preferred to do it herself and tend to the plants.

"Xiaoyan, Bai Li is the Insect God, right?"

Gu Yan was suddenly startled and lifted her head, "Mom?"

"I’ve suspected it for a while, and later confirmed it. But seeing that he has no malice towards you or our family, I didn’t point it out. But now," Su Wan looked worriedly at her daughter who seemed to be in another world, "your state is all wrong. Xiaoyan, would you like to talk to Mom about what is happening?"

Gu Yan chewed on her lip, conflicted.

Su Wan wasn’t in a rush and calmly continued to water the roses, speaking slowly, "Actually, Mom doesn’t have much experience when it comes to love either. Your dad and I were a case of marrying first and falling in love later."

"Before I got together with your dad, I had a fiancé, what was his name, never mind, it’s not important what he was called. What’s important is that at the time, I didn’t think much about marriage or love. I just thought, our families have a good relationship, and he treats me well, that’s enough."

"Occasionally I also realized that he was very kind to Su Man, oh, Su Man was considered my stepsister then. And then, on the day of my wedding to my fiancé, he stood me up to take care of Su Man, and suddenly I woke up to realize, such a scoundrel, I didn’t want to marry him at all."

Su Wan gently looked at her daughter, "Xiaoyan, I hope when you get married, you’re marrying for love."
