Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 724: Whenever You Want, It’s Always Possible
"I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
"No, you do." Su Wan looked at Moran quietly. She said, "Before I knew you, I had seen your works. In your works, some characters bear your own shadow."
"That is, doing things by any means necessary for a purpose. Moran, you definitely have some affection and genuine concern for your niece, Vivian, but more than that, you hope that she can become a helper to you and Lucifer in the future, don’t you?"
Moran sneered, "Su Wan, these things are not within the scope of our current cooperation. After we save Vivian, we will go our separate ways and still stand on opposite sides. You won’t really trust us, will you?"
Su Wan shook her head, "You’re wrong; what I don’t trust is you and Lucifer. As for Julia and Vivian, they haven’t done anything wrong. Why should I target them? I even told Lucifer that their mother and daughter could live a worry-free life on Landis Star, and nothing would affect them."
Moran fell silent.
She really hated Su Wan. Why did she have to be so clear-headed and logical?
If Su Wan became angry, it would be easy to push Vivian to their side.
Vivian was very smart to begin with. Having heard their conversation, she then turned her gaze to Su Wan.
"Do you really have a way for both of us to survive?"
"There is no way for now, but we can take you to Landis Star. When we get close to your body, we can think of a solution together. It’s much better than having to face a choice now and directly kill Xu Wei’an."
The wariness in Vivian’s eyes slowly faded away.
Without a doubt, this was the best solution.
Given the chance to live, who would want to die?
Given the chance to go home, who would want to wander like a lost soul without a place to belong?
Moran frowned and glared at Su Wan, but Su Wan looked back at her with a detached gaze.
In the end, Moran closed her mouth.
Su Wan said to Vivian, "You can go back and talk it over with Xu Wei’an. Once you’ve decided to come with us, find us at this hotel."
"Okay."
Su Wan turned to Moran, "Moran, let’s go."
Moran stormed out in a huff.
Su Wan didn’t care. She followed a few steps behind, completely composed, while Vivian suddenly spoke up, "Miss Su, may I ask if my body’s father... is your enemy?"
Su Wan turned with a smile, "You already have the answer in your heart and just want confirmation, right? Yes, Lucifer has tried to kill me several times, but I’ve been lucky, and he hasn’t succeeded. Also, there are bigger issues of principle. But rest assured, I, Su Wan, always keep my word. You and your mother Julia haven’t done anything wrong, so I won’t take it out on you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come here to save you."
After speaking, she left.
In the private room, only Vivian remained.
Xu Wei’an, who had been hiding in the corner, too afraid to speak up, whispered, "Sister, who do you believe between them?"
"I won’t hurt you, Xiaowei."
"I, I didn’t mean that. Although I’m afraid to die too, but, but you shouldn’t miss this chance to go home either."
Vivian sat back down, picked up the cooled coffee, and took a sip.
It was bitter.
"Xiaowei, between the two of them, whose words do you believe?"
"... Miss Su Wan. I’m sorry, Sister, even though Moran is your aunt, I..."
It’s only natural; Xu Wei’an is just an ordinary girl, whose fragile state of mind was the reason for Vivian’s emergence.
Moran said she would kill her, and it was only natural for her to be scared and not want to believe Moran’s words.
Vivian shook her head, "You don’t have to say sorry. In fact, I also tend to believe what Su Wan said."
How to describe it?
Although Su Wan had said she was her father’s enemy, Vivian still subconsciously wanted to trust Su Wan.
After all, Vivian had no recollection whatsoever of that so-called Star Thief father. This had nothing to do with good or evil; it was just her instinct.
**
Amusement park, Ferris wheel.
In the end, Bai Li still decided to take Gu Yan to the amusement park, remembering the last time Gu Yan got hit on, so this time, Bai Li was glued to Gu Yan’s side every step of the way.
Holding an ice cream cone, Gu Yan said a little embarrassedly, "Isn’t it boring for you to come here with me?"
It was indeed boring.
Bai Li could pilot his own spaceship around the Universe, yet he had to sit on this huge, slow-moving Ferris wheel.
But glancing at the beautiful young girl’s hopeful eyes, his lips curled slightly, "Not boring."
"You must be humoring me but I’m still happy to hear it," Gu Yan said, taking another bite of her ice cream and gazing out the glass window.
It was still daylight, so it didn’t have the same shocking night view as before.
Yet, there was a feeling of stepping onto everything beneath one’s feet.
Perhaps the mood was just right, Gu Yan got up the courage to ask, "Brother Little Mushroom, have you ever thought about marrying me?"
"Does Xiaoyan want to get married?"
"No, it’s not that I want to get married. Actually, my mom says I should consider marriage after I graduate. I just want to know if you have ever thought about marrying me?"
Gu Yan was cautious and somewhat expectant.
A girl in love always wavers like this.
Bai Li, calm and mighty, suddenly found himself absentmindedly recalling Ji Mu going on and on, saying that dating without the intention of marriage is like being a rogue and they should all be thrown into a black hole!
He pursed his lips, "Whenever you want, we can do it anytime."
"!!!!!!!!"
Despite the lack of a romantic marriage proposal scene, Gu Yan was still very excited and happy. She reached out to hug Bai Li, forgetting the ice cream in her hand.
Thus, the nearly finished cone smeared onto Bai Li’s shirt.
Bai Li: "..."
Gu Yan was stunned, her eyes reddened, and she quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I..."
Bai Li waved his hand, brushed the cone off, then took out a tissue to wipe it.
This was the young girl he doted on—a little ice cream stain was nothing.
"It’s fine." With a stretch of his arm, he pulled the young girl into his embrace.
But just at that moment, the Ferris wheel suddenly made a clattering noise; it malfunctioned, stopping mid-air.
Other visitors let out exclamations of surprise.
Some began to frantically make emergency calls.
But this was no problem for Bai Li.
Even Gu Yan could use her Spatial Superpower to instantly teleport back.
However, holding the young girl, Bai Li asked, "Do we wait for the malfunction to be fixed, or do we leave right away?"
Nestled in his embrace, with reddening ears, Gu Yan said very firmly, "Let’s stay here and wait for the malfunction to be fixed. Otherwise, if we disappear out of thin air, it could cause trouble and that wouldn’t be good!"
