Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 751: I Don’t Like the Kind of Man Gu Chen Is
Vivian stood by, her mouth agape.
Su Wan gave her a reassuring glance.
Indeed, the next moment, Lucifer stopped cursing and asked eagerly, "Vivian, how did you get here?"
The metal gate slowly opened, and Lucifer, dressed in white prison garb with specially made handcuffs, always loved cleanliness and tidiness, and at this moment did not seem like someone who had spent a long time in jail.
He looked at his daughter with a complex expression.
Su Wan patted Vivian on the shoulder, "Go ahead, you can only talk to him through the transparent glass, but whatever you say, he can hear you."
"This glass..."
"Is there to protect you, or perhaps to protect him."
Vivian nodded in understanding and walked over.
Lucifer looked at his daughter, whose demeanor had changed from before, and grew a bit restless and cautious, "Vivian, is your soul fusion complete?"
"Yes."
"Then... how much do you remember about me?"
When Lucifer asked this question, he didn’t seem like the big bad guy who had committed so many crimes and killed people without blinking an eye.
Vivian looked at him and said, "I remember everything. Although you didn’t show up much from my childhood, you did indeed care a lot about me, your daughter, and also about my mother."
Lucifer’s tense expression eased slightly, he attempted a smile and looked at his daughter, who remained calm and collected even on her first visit to such a place.
Lucifer sighed, "To be honest, I suddenly feel very fortunate that my enemy turned out to be upright people like Gu Jue and Su Wan."
If the opponent had been petty and wicked, they certainly wouldn’t have saved his daughter!
Vivian looked at her father and suddenly said, "Dad, I’m planning to transfer to the military academy after school starts, I want to try for the position of Commander on Landis Star."
Hearing his daughter’s words, Lucifer was stunned for a moment.
He glanced at Su Wan and the others standing not far away.
Then, as if realizing something, he suddenly laughed, "Hmm, not bad for a daughter of Lucifer! You have aspirations! I had you study liberal arts back then because your soul was incomplete, and your mother was worried about you – after all, being a Star Warrior is too dangerous, with so many enemies, and Star Thieves..."
At this, Lucifer let out a self-deprecating laugh.
How ironic?
He had spent half his life as a wicked Star Thief, and yet his daughter wanted to become an interstellar Commander, to fight against Star Thieves?
Vivian looked at her father, whose expression was complicated, and said, "Because of you, I want to try for the position of Commander. It’s actually very difficult, but I want to give it a try."
"Mm, go ahead and try."
Even if she failed, it was good that his daughter had grown strong and could protect herself and her mother.
Vivian said, "Father, do you know that Aunt hasn’t given up? She still wants you to get out, to continue collaborating with those bad people, to oppose Landis Star, to disrupt the peace of the universe."
Lucifer raised his eyes to look at his daughter.
At the same time, the prison warden standing next to Su Wan also grew tense!
He whispered to Su Wan, "Commander Su, this..."
"Be quiet."
"..."
Everyone watched Vivian, including her father Lucifer, who scrutinized his daughter and then tentatively asked, "Vivian, what do you think?"
"Father, I think that Auntie isn’t content in her heart, so she wishes for you to return to your old ways. But have you ever thought about it, Father? Even if you were successful, what would it achieve? On this matter, Auntie is being selfish. She just hopes to make everything more chaotic, yet she has never considered how it would affect you or our family!"
"And, Father, if you really could have been successful, you would have achieved it decades ago, wouldn’t you?"
After hearing this, Lucifer bitterly smiled, "You little girl, you really know how to stab your father in the heart. But you’re right."
He glanced at Su Wan in the distance.
"Don’t worry, Vivian. For the sake of you and your mother having a good life, I won’t break out of prison. There was also an opportunity before me once, and I refused it."
"That’s not enough, Father. Show a little more sincerity."
"..."
Lucifer quietly looked at his daughter, and she quietly looked back at him.
Such a daughter, indeed, is too much like him!
Lucifer was filled with pride in his heart, and at the same time, he was reassured, because he knew that even if he remained locked up here, his daughter would slowly grow up and be able to protect herself and her mother well in the future.
Lucifer smiled easily, "Alright, I understand."
"Then, goodbye, Father. I will try to find opportunities to visit you in the future, and I will also try to bring my mother to see you."
"Take good care of your mother and yourself."
"I will. Oh, and I also have a new sister now. You have a goddaughter."
"Hmm."
The father and daughter chatted casually for a few moments before Vivian had to leave.
Suddenly, Lucifer called out to his daughter’s retreating figure, "Vivian, if you really like Gu Chen, then go for him on your own. Even if it means completely severing ties with your father, it’s okay. Do you understand?"
Vivian didn’t turn around; she simply said quietly, "I do not like men like Gu Chen."
Lucifer was startled.
By now, Su Wan had already started walking out with Vivian, and behind them, the heavy metal doors of Interstellar Prison closed slowly.
After leaving Interstellar Prison and boarding the spacecraft, Su Wan smiled and asked, "You think Xiaochen isn’t good enough?"
Vivian shook her head, "It’s not that he isn’t good enough; he’s too good, and I don’t deserve him. Besides, with my father’s presence, he and I will never be together. Since there’s no future, there’s no need to start. My father asked me that question just now because he was holding onto a sliver of hope. If I had tried to marry Gu Chen, he would have had his chance again."
"So, you decided to crush his last bit of hope," Su Wan remarked admiringly at the child’s perceptive intelligence. She said, "Actually, if you both really wanted to be together, I wouldn’t oppose it."
Vivian shook her head again, "No, His Majesty is too perfect; not suitable for me. If I look for a husband in the future, I won’t choose someone so powerful. What I want is someone I can connect with spiritually, to advance or retreat together, not someone I have to look up to."
With that said, Su Wan no longer pressed the matter.
But today’s events had caused her to see Vivian, this young girl, in a new light.
Su Wan had other matters to attend to. As soon as she arrived at the military office, she received a call from the Warden of Interstellar Prison.
"Lucifer has made a request. He wants to destroy his own Superpower Core."
When he said this, he was quite shocked.
To destroy a Beastman’s Superpower Core was more severe than killing them.
Even though Lucifer was a criminal with a heavy record of evil deeds, they hadn’t forced the destruction of his Superpower Core.
With an indifferent tone, Su Wan said, "Just follow his request. Also, make sure emergency procedures are in place; we cannot allow his life to be endangered."
"Yes, Commander Su."
