Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 696: It Must All Be That Old Bug’s Fault!
Gu Yan set down the tools in her hand and walked over to her mother. She hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "When I can’t see him, I miss him. Whenever something good or bad happens, I always want to share it with him. When he doesn’t understand what I mean, I feel heartbroken... Mom, is this love?"
"What if he were with another girl, would you be jealous?"
Gu Yan thought carefully, it seemed like Brother Little Mushroom didn’t get close to other girls, even among the subordinates of the Insect Clan, no one could get too close to Brother Little Mushroom.
She shook her head, "I have never encountered that situation."
Su Wan looked at her daughter, who was at the cusp of understanding love but still quite confused. She put down the watering can, pulled her daughter to sit on the wooden chair beside her, "Then what’s bothering you?"
Gu Yan: "Mom, I think I have special feelings for him, but as for him, how to describe it... he’s very nice to me, but it always seems like there is a barrier between us. He doesn’t... seem to have the same kind of feelings a man and a woman have for each other toward me."
Su Wan: "Perhaps there’s no need to rush, after all, you haven’t known each other for very long."
Gu Yan blurted out, "That’s not it, we’ve known each other for a long time..."
Su Wan: "..."
Gu Yan quickly covered her mouth.
The garden was extremely quiet.
Even the Vermilion Bird and Xiaofu didn’t dare to flap their mechanical wings too loudly.
The water from the hose slowly flowed out, gradually seeping into the soil underneath the roses.
It felt as if a century had passed before Gu Yan said softly, "Mom, I’m sorry."
Su Wan quietly watched her daughter, "When did he start getting close to you?"
Gu Yan saw her mother be serious for the first time; she felt extremely uncomfortable but also sensed her mother might be even more troubled. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Her heart was filled with unease.
However, when she thought about how she would not have a closer relationship with Brother Little Mushroom, she said softly, "Mom, do you remember when I was a child, how I was always inseparable from a white mushroom doll..."
Su Wan felt her eyebrows twitch!
So it was you, old bug! To have your eye on little Gu Yan so early, so early on!
No, it wasn’t just having your eye on her; if you really cared, little Gu Yan wouldn’t be feeling so down right now.
So it means, you started flirting so early on, and when the girl finally turned eighteen and fell head over heels, you just smacked your bug behind and left?!
Left!
Su Wan looked at her daughter, who was sincerely frightened and kept apologizing; she really couldn’t bring herself to blame her daughter.
How could she blame her daughter?
It was definitely that old bug’s fault!
Su Wan didn’t talk about anything else but took her daughter to water the garden, then trimmed the decayed leaves as well.
Gu Yan listened to the snipping sound of the shears and couldn’t help but feel a chill down her neck.
She was worried that her mom would scold her.
But if her mom didn’t scold her, she felt even more uneasy and anxious.
In the end, after everything in the garden was taken care of, Su Wan didn’t utter any harsh words but instead gently told her daughter to go back to her room and rest early.
With a confused face, Gu Yan left at last.
Su Wan went back to her room with utmost calm, changed out of her clothes that were sprinkled with petals and grass leaves, took a shower, and changed into fresh clothes.
Vermilion Bird felt that such a master was somewhat abnormal and frightening.
Vermilion Bird: "Master, Miss Yan said that since the Insect God is not interested in her, she will keep her distance from him in the future. And now, the Insect God has also left Landis Star, so please don’t be angry anymore."
"He approached Xiaoyan so early, flirted with her, and then just ran off. Just because he’s an Insect, does that make him so great!"
Su Wan’s voice suddenly rose, startling Vermilion Bird as well.
It immediately processed this situation with its data, and then tentatively said, "Master, then, why don’t you go and beat up that Insect God?"
Su Wan, expressionless, "Can’t beat him."
Vermilion Bird: "..."
Well, thinking about it that way only made things even more depressing.
But although she couldn’t beat him, Su Wan was really upset. She didn’t want to lash out at her daughter, but could she not curse at that shameless old Insect God!
Even if, her daughter said the two of them had not acted overly intimately...it still couldn’t stop Su Wan from wanting to give the old Insect God a piece of her mind!
Therefore, as soon as Su Wan confirmed that her husband and son were still in the study talking with that old Insect God, she immediately got up and headed to the study.
Inside the study at Commander Gu’s residence.
In the projection, Bai Li spoke calmly, "Lucifer said he is willing to bring all the Star Thieves and submit to me, as long as I’m willing to release Doris to help him cure his daughter."
With the power of Freya’s forces, if Bai Li really accepted Lucifer’s power, then it could be said that he would become the most powerful existence in this universe.
Not only personally powerful, but his military might would be formidable as well!
And under these circumstances, it would be an easy task for Bai Li to subdue the Universe Alliance people.
Gu Jue watched him quietly, "Would you?"
Bai Li: "Not necessarily."
He turned his gaze to the young His Excellency Gu Chen beside him and asked earnestly, "You must wish that the girl named Vivian can be saved. But at the same time, you also wouldn’t want our forces to be united and threaten Landis Star, right? One is a personal affection, the other is the safety of the planet’s species. Gu Chen, how will you choose?"
It was at this moment that the door to the study was violently opened.
Su Wan, who clearly wore a gentle silver loungewear, her long hair still draped down, had a completely different temperament – sharp and aggressive, like a unsheathed sword.
Gu Jue frowned first thing.
There were outsiders here; how could his wife come in with her hair down and wearing lounge clothes?
He immediately stood up and took off his military coat, draping it over his wife.
To his father’s behavior, Gu Chen beside him was already used to it; he was still pondering the Insect God’s words.
But Su Wan quickly took three steps and stood in front of the screen, sneering at the projection of the Insect God, "A tough choice? The Insect God and my Xiaoyan are old friends, right? If you choose to cooperate with Lucifer and others, and decide to treat us of Landis Star as enemies, then your relationship with Xiaoyan ends here too, doesn’t it?"
Bai Li’s eyes, usually cool and indifferent, narrowed slightly.
The Gu family father and son present were thoroughly shocked.
Yet Su Wan continued, "What kind of game are you playing all these years? Just to hurt a young girl? I used to think that you, unlike the other Insects, had more sense and a clearer, rational line of thought, but now it seems, this old Insect, you’re nothing but trouble!"
"I’ll say this now, even though I can’t beat you, but you’ve bullied Xiaoyan, and I’ll remember this grudge!"
Gu Jue furrowed his brow, "Wanwan, what exactly is going on, what did he do to Xiaoyan?"
Gu Chen also quickly said, "Mother, what’s going on?"
