Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 77 Su Wan was shocked at that moment!

Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Su Wan was shocked at that moment!

In fact, Su Wan could have asked Gu Jue about this matter.

But, it always felt a bit inappropriate.

After all, it’s not quite right to bother such a big Commander to play matchmaker.

Not to mention, Su Wan worried it might scare the wits out of Mu Lei, the Director!

Luo Jina immediately slapped her chest, promising, "No problem, consider it done!"

At the time when Mu Lei received the dumplings Su Wan had sent over with help, he was just in the middle of a holographic meeting.

This was a multi-party joint meeting with participants like the Principal of Empire University, General Adolf who was in charge of the training base, and several other heads of different departments.

And there was the great Commander, Gu Jue himself.

Just at this moment, unaware that Mu Lei was in a meeting, Jack said with a grin, "Director Mu, these are dumplings made by Student Su Wan. They’re really tasty. She had me bring a portion especially for you, and it’s still hot!"

After he finished speaking, belatedly realizing that Mu Lei was in a meeting, he quickly added, "Oh, Director Mu, you’re in a meeting, huh? Go ahead with your meeting then. If they get cold, I’ll heat them up for you later."

Mu Lei: "..."

Heat up dumplings?

He figured if he didn’t explain properly, he might end up being the one heated up in an electron cannon by his lord the Commander!

Mu Lei: "Jack, did Student Su Wan make a lot of dumplings?"

Jack nodded: "Yes, she’s amazing. She made lots and lots of tasty ones, and we all got to eat."

Mu Lei nodded in approval, "Student Su Wan is indeed talented and dexterous, worthy of being the heir to the Su family restaurant."

Only when he heard that Jack and the others had eaten too did Mu Lei let out a sigh of relief.

If Su Wan had made them especially for him... that would have been hard to explain!

But actually, the displeasure in the heart of the man at the center of the hologram had not dissipated.

He sat there, slowly putting on white gloves, with a gaze colder and more indifferent than usual.

Gu Jue said indifferently, "Meeting adjourned."

He was the first to cut off the holographic connection.

The few others exchanged glances, but all could sense the Commander’s displeasure and hastily shut down their projections as well.

General Adolf was the second to last to cut the connection.

He said sympathetically, "Take care, Mu Lei!"

Mu Lei’s mouth twitched speechlessly, "General Adolf, what’s with that big grin?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing. You’re seeing things," Adolf quickly cut off the communication and turned to his aide with glee, "Go open a bottle of the 2021 Lafite for me!"

He had to celebrate!

The Commander, his wife, and their kid were finally leaving the training star!!!

Now, only Principal Audrey from Empire University was left with his connection still open.

He asked, puzzled, "Mu Lei, what’s the matter?"

Mu Lei sighed, "I don’t know what’s going on either. Su Wan seems to be paying special attention to me—could I have done something to offend her? Maybe that’s why the Commander is upset."

Audrey: "Then you’d better investigate this thoroughly to see if there’s any misunderstanding and clear it up as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Mu Lei was also a bit troubled; besides the possibility that his previous freeloading behavior had offended Su Wan, he couldn’t think of anything else he’d done to upset her.

Why was she suddenly giving him so much attention!

And even had someone deliver dumplings especially for him... Mu Lei glanced at the lunch box next to him, with the dumplings still steaming hot inside.

Quietly picking up the chopsticks beside him.

Wasting food is shameful.

Better to eat them first.

Meanwhile, Luo Jina’s gossiping abilities proved astoundingly fast. She approached her sister, the Empress Luo Manya, along with several other known aunts and sisters—a total of more than twenty individuals—asking each about Mu Lei.

And she actually managed to unearth the truth!

Anticipating, Su Wan looked at Luo Jina, "So, what’s the reason he doesn’t marry?"

Luo Jina, "Do you want to hear the subjective reason or the objective reason?"

Su Wan, "Definitely both!"

Luo Jina, "Okay, the objective reason is that Director Mu is a Beastman, and his Beast Transformation form is... a snake."

Su Wan, "..."

She immediately crossed Mu Lei off her list of dashing uncles!

As someone obsessed with fluffy things, she had always feared three kinds of beings.

The first was the tail of a mouse, the second was cockroaches, and the third was the smooth, cold snakes!

Luo Jiana continued, "As for the subjective reason, well, Director Mu himself has no intention of marrying. No amount of marriage prodding works on him. This is something his Mu Family members can confirm. Also, with an ongoing surplus of men over women, there are plenty like him who haven’t married even at forty. Take, for example, your Commander Gu."

Su Wan’s lips twitched, "You can skip that example."

"Hehe, don’t worry too much. Although Commander Gu’s physiological age is forty, he looks to be in his twenties. Most importantly, being the strongest Beastman in the history of the Federal Empire, a doctor once said that Commander Gu’s lifespan will definitely exceed two hundred years."

After hearing this, Su Wan did some calculations.

As an ordinary person, the longest-living ordinary people can make it to around a hundred and fifty or sixty years.

She’s currently twenty, so at most, she has another one hundred and forty years to live, while Gu Jue can live at least another one hundred sixty years... tsk, seems doable?

Since becoming pregnant, Su Wan found her thoughts would often develop in very strange and extraordinary directions.

While she was calculating how many years she could spend with Gu Jue, on the other end, the Commander, infuriated by many having a taste of his wife’s handmade dumplings while he had not, picked up his lightsaber and effortlessly chopped the fleeing Insect Clan members to pieces.

On the starship, Eric, feeling a bout of residual fear, "What’s going on with the Commander? Seeing those Insect Clan members chopped to bits, I even feel sorry for them!"

Death is death, but to be dismembered; how tragic.

Li Rui commented dispassionately, "Have you noticed the Commander’s mood swings are getting bigger?"

Eric, "Is the Commander entering his Manic-Depressive Period?"

Unlike ordinary Beastmen like them, Gu Jue’s Manic-Depressive Period occurred once a month.

Even with the use of exclusive medicine, he still had some violently uncontrollable emotions.

During the Manic-Depressive Period, besides a mate, no one else should come near a Beastman.

As the strongest Beastman of the Federation Empire, having twelve Manic-Depressive Periods a year, it’s no wonder the public was shocked when they first learned that the Commander’s spouse was just a fragile ordinary person.

Many expected the Commander to choose another Beastman as a partner, thinking that because Beastmen are physically stronger.

Eric concluded this round of griping with a single sentence.

"Poor Commander’s spouse."

Li Rui’s lips twitched, "If you want to live to two hundred, don’t say these things in front of the Commander."

Eric grinned, "I’m saying it in front of you, not him."

"Don’t say it in front of the Commander’s spouse either."

"Got it, got it. Otherwise, the Commander’s spouse will surely feel inferior."

"..."

Would Su Wan feel inferior on hearing this?

Not at all.

She was currently busy going over the wedding dress designs sent on her neural computer by her mother, Lin Ranyue—absolutely myriad and varied.

Lin Ranyue, "Xiaowan, these two sets are for the ceremony, these two are for the Imperial Family’s ritual, this one is for the toast. Of course, since His Majesty’s father is no longer with us, there will be several distant relatives of the Imperial Family on Gu Jue’s side, and on your side, your grandfather and my grandfather and father will come. In addition, every dress style comes in two sets for backups, plus there are spare shoes and accessories."

"These three sets are banquet dresses, these two are for the ball, oh, and these two are for the wedding night."

Right then, Su Wan was shocked, "I have to wear a dress to sleep?"
