Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 709: I Just Like a Domineering Commander
"So, he’s asked you to find a way to persuade me, and then I should still go help him rescue Vivian, even though he doesn’t want to go to the Interstellar Prison, right?"
Gu Chen nodded, "Right."
Su Wan was quite calm, "It’s not surprising that he has this kind of thought, considering he is Lucifer. To save his daughter, what he’s done has already surpassed my imagination. But Xiaochen, what do you think?"
"I’ve told him that I only want to help Vivian and also, I can’t possibly marry her."
Su Wan paused for a moment, then looked up at her son, "Are you sure?"
Gu Chen nodded, "I am absolutely certain."
Su Wan reached out and touched her son’s head... Even though her son was all grown up now, she couldn’t help doing this, mainly because her son had been so sensible from a young age. As the eldest in the family, he had taken on so many responsibilities.
That’s why his younger brothers and sisters were able to live so freely.
And thus, Su Wan and Gu Jue also had much less pressure on them.
Even, when they grew old and faded from the circle of power in the future, their family would still live comfortably and gloriously for another hundred years because of Xiaochen.
Gu Chen was touched on the head like a child by his mother, and wasn’t quite used to it. His wolf ears accidentally popped out.
Seeing her son like this, Su Wan was reminded of his childhood, the adorable baby with wolf ears.
In the blink of an eye, the baby with wolf ears had grown up, becoming even more rational, powerful, and always considering his family first.
Su Wan spoke softly, "Actually, although I really like Vivian too, her personality isn’t quite suited for you. Your innate sense of responsibility is too strong; you want to protect many people around you. Your wife should be able to share the burden with you. Even if she can’t share it, she shouldn’t need you guarding and protecting her all the time; at the very least she should be able to protect herself. She doesn’t have to be a strong Beastman but must be someone mentally strong like Luo Manya."
"But still, I’ll say the same thing I always do: love is your own matter. No matter what kind of girl you want to marry in the future, as long as you like her and she likes you, Mom won’t object."
Gu Chen cleared his throat, "Alright Mom, I’m not considering marriage for the time being. Uncle Qingyu said that there has been progress in the development of the latest exclusive medicine. By next year, when my Manic-Depressive Period comes around again, it should be controllable. As for matters of the heart, let’s just leave it up to fate."
Those ministers are always rushing him, but all they dare to do is talk.
As the most powerful Commander of the planet to date, people from every sector respect him and harbor no thoughts of rebellion.
At most, seeing that he still hasn’t married, they occasionally bring up the topic.
That’s the extent of it.
Su Wan didn’t pay much attention to Lucifer’s situation; whether or not he wanted her help was not a major concern for her, since there had been a turn of events with Lord Insect God, Bai Li.
If Bai Li truly ended up with Xiaoyan, then he definitely wouldn’t tear up the alliance with Landis Star under Lucifer and Freya’s manipulation.
A delicate balance had been achieved among the various powers.
And at this time, the exchange student from the Plantmen had also arrived on Landis Star, including Jiang Huai, who had visited before.
Regarding this matter, the Gu Family had reached a consensus: their bottom line was that they wouldn’t allow Gu Yan to leave Landis Star, no matter whom she liked or whom she would marry in the future, they respected her freedom to love. But as a family, they were also concerned about her safety.
Therefore, Gu Yan’s future partner had to agree to become a son-in-law living with the bride’s family!
When Gu Yan learned of this decision, she was mortified and her cheeks almost caught fire.
"I, I haven’t thought about marriage."
Su Wan looked at her daughter tenderly, "Mm, there’s no need to marry so early; Plantmen have very long lifespans. If you marry too early, you’ll miss many beautiful sceneries in life."
"Mm, right now I just want to focus on my studies."
"Yes."
After speaking with her daughter, Su Wan returned to her room, only to be wrapped around the waist by a fluffy tail.
Gu Jue had changed out of his stiff military uniform and was now wearing a beige home outfit. His gaze towards his wife was tender and lingering, "Wanwan, you told Xiaoyan to postpone getting married, but why did you get married so early yourself?"
"...It’s all because of that law. I was still a pure human then, and if I didn’t get married before my twentieth birthday, the Main System would have assigned a husband to me!" Su Wan fondled the fluffy tail and suddenly paused, saying curiously, "Hey, if I hadn’t met you then, after twelve o’clock, who would Bai Ze have assigned me based on the circumstances? I’m suddenly very curious, I’ll go ask Bai Ze later."
The corner of Gu Jue’s mouth twitched, "No need to ask it."
"Why not?"
"Because no matter who was assigned at that time, if I hadn’t arrived in time, I would have snatched you away from him."
The two of them were an old married couple by now, but even then, the normally icy Commander knew how to speak words of love that could still make Su Wan’s heart race and her cheeks flush.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him, "I like this domineering Commander’s style! Oh, what a pity, I missed out on seeing you snatch someone away."
Gu Jue immediately cradled her in his arms and kissed her babbling lips once more.
Meanwhile, in front of countless monitors, Bai Ze suddenly sneezed, causing the numbers running on the surrounding screens to shake into waveforms.
"Who’s thinking of me?" It was puzzled.
Bai Ze had no idea that if Gu Jue, who had been suffering from a Manic-Depressive Period back then, hadn’t made it to Su Wan’s wedding in time, and if Huo Yichang also hadn’t arrived by twelve, Su Wan would have been forced to accept a man assigned to her.
That man, Gu Jue would not have let him off.
As for Bai Ze... it might have been dismantled by the great Commander himself!
Luckily, luckily.
Everyone had dodged a bullet.
**
Jiang Huai became classmates with Gu Yan.
This batch of Plantman exchange students totaled six, and Jiang Huai was special, for he not only enrolled in the Military Academy but also the College of Humanities.
Many people speculated that he was trying to win favor by proximity.
At least Ji Mu thought so.
He was filled with hostility towards Jiang Huai!
"Lord Insect God, you have no idea, that tree keeps edging closer to Gu Yan. And he not only has a deceitful face but is also particularly adept at making young girls happy!"
After that incident, Bai Li had left Landis Star again.
On the screen was his quiet demeanor as he sat on a maroon sofa. Bai Li lifted his eyes and said softly, "And then?"
"And then?" Ji Mu paused for a few seconds, then said earnestly, "My lord, when are you and Gu Yan going to get married? Even if not marriage, an engagement would do."
"Gu Yan won’t get married before graduating, and Su Wan won’t allow her to either."
"My lord, that’s not important! What’s important is a woman’s heart! If Gu Yan truly falls for Jiang Huai, they can start dating, and then get married after graduation!"
In that case, you would be out of the picture!
