Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 78: This Stepdad Candidate is a Bit Cold!
Lin Ranyue’s expression was somewhat inscrutable, "The gown is just a name, take a closer look and you’ll see... it’s very suited for sleeping in."
Last time she got married, before her wedding, her mother had also hinted to Su Wan about what it means to become a wife.
There was nothing to shy away from.
Su Wan treated it like learning physiological knowledge.
At that time, she was as calm as could be.
But this time, for some reason, even though Su Wan had already made three batches of exclusive medicine for Commander Gu, and they already had a baby together,
as she looked at the very ’unique’ wedding night gown, her cheeks slowly began to warm.
One of the wedding night gown sets was red, styled in ancient fashion, a bit like the fiery red bridal attires Su Wan had seen on Ancient Earth, complete with phoenix crown and wedding robe, quite beautiful.
But the point was, it was thin! Extremely thin! Unusually thin!
The fair skin, hazily discernible, cough cough cough.
The other set was yellow, or more precisely, gold.
It was specially made from gold, using special techniques to create an extremely soft and light silk thread, and diamonds were used as decoration on the cuffs, collar, and the edges of the gown.
Is this still clothing?
This is a work of art, isn’t it?
Lin Ranyue continued to explain, "This set is also very good. After special processing, the fabric feels extremely soft, particularly nice to touch! Oh right, the groom also has two sets of clothes in the same color."
In an instant, Su Wan imagined the cold and icy Commander Gu in that gold set. Then, the milky and cute Ajue with his ears and tail showing, wearing that red set...
Ahhh!
Su Wan covered her face, "Enough enough enough, no need to continue!"
Lin Ranyue looked at her daughter’s shyness and her gaze suddenly softened.
"It’s amazing when you think about it. The last time you got married, I was in a daze, and didn’t feel like I was giving away a daughter at all, but this time, it feels completely different. This time I truly feel the complexity of marrying off a daughter, on one hand, reluctant to let go of the girl I’ve raised so well, who is about to be whisked away by some man. On the other hand, I’m happy for you, especially since Commander Gu is a very good match, a very good husband. Oh my, my feelings are so conflicted."
"Mom..."
"Ah, back when you were lying in the healing pod, everyone said you would never wake up, but in the blink of an eye, here you are, getting married! And not just once, but twice!"
A moment ago, Su Wan was quite moved since everyone had given up on her waking up back then, except for her mother.
Then, she heard the latter part and didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
Su Wan: "Mom, this doesn’t really count as a second marriage, since I’m marrying the same person after all."
The groom is the same.
Even now, the spouse on the personal information is the same person.
From the beginning to the end, it’s been Gu Jue.
Lin Ranyue nodded, "You’re right when you put it that way, unlike me, if I were to marry again, it would definitely be a second marriage. By the way, Xiaowan, that Director Mu you mentioned last time, why hasn’t he married yet?"
Hearing her mother suddenly cue Director Mu, Su Wan shivered!
She quickly said, "Mom, Director Mu is not suitable for you!"
Lin Ranyue looked puzzled, "Eh, that’s not what you said before. You told me he was young and successful, highly capable, and loved by his students. You also said that he might seem stern but is actually very warm."
Su Wan inner monologue: Mom, I was wrong, he’s not just not warm, he’s damn cold!
Su Wan struggled to say, "But mom, he’s a beastman."
Lin Ranyue, "That’s fine, are you worried that he will live longer than me? That’s not an issue, who knows, maybe in forty or fifty years, we’ll separate."
"But the main point is, his complete beast transformation... is a snake, mom!"
Right at that moment, the communication between mother and daughter broke off because the spaceship was undergoing a space jump.
Su Wan looked at the now dark screen, wondering whether her mother had heard her last sentence clearly.
At that time, Sheng An came to call for her, "Xiaowan, Director Mu is here, right outside the door."
Su Wan: "..."
After giving herself a full minute of mental preparation, Su Wan finally left the dormitory and saw Mu Lei standing not far away in the corridor, looking up at the stars through the glass.
The uncle was still a handsome uncle.
It’s just that the snake was too scary...
Su Wan bravely walked up to him and said obediently, "Director Mu, did you need me for something?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Mu Lei: "Thank you for the dumplings you made, they were delicious."
"Oh."
"Why did you specifically have someone deliver a portion of dumplings just for me?"
As Su Wan was thinking to herself, she didn’t expect snakes to like eating dumplings, but when she heard this question, her gaze faltered!
She immediately said, "Because I accidentally made too many! There were too many dumplings left over, and then I suddenly remembered that you mentioned wanting to eat dumplings the last time we had a meal together. So, I had Jack deliver a portion to you! I really did make them by accident, if you don’t believe me, go see for yourself, Jina overate and is still exercising to digest!"
Hearing this explanation, Mu Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that he believed her, Su Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she couldn’t tell Director Mu the truth, that she initially sent him dumplings because she hoped to get familiar with him, to introduce him to her mother.
Now, there was no need.
Because this stepfather candidate was a bit too cool!
Mu Lei said a few grand-sounding words satisfactorily and left.
Su Wan also returned to the dormitory heart in mouth.
The mind’s power of suggestion is really strange.
Before she knew about Mu Lei’s complete beast transformation, she only felt that he was a somewhat stern elder.
But now, every time she saw him, she would get goosebumps all over!
Wuu, she suddenly missed Commander’s furry tails!
She felt that she needed to pet furry tails for an hour to recover!
The communication had been interrupted earlier because the spaceship was performing a space jump.
By the time Su Wan returned to her dormitory, the brain-light was ringing again, it was her mother Lin Ranyue.
The moment the communication connected, Lin Ranyue spoke with a very excited voice, "It’s actually a snake, how impressive! Is it poisonous? Is it one of those red snakes? I’ve heard the brighter the color, the stronger the poison might be!"
Su Wan: "..."
"Xiaowan? Are you listening to me?"
"You... are you my mom?"
"Nonsense! The signal on the spaceship isn’t stable, so I just decided not to project myself and send just audio instead. By the way, what species of snake is Director Mu?"
Su Wan felt the generation gap between her and her mother was quite deep.
About the issue of fur or no fur, their opinions diverged so widely they transcended the Milky Way Galaxy!
After confirming once again that her mother was indeed very interested in Director Mu’s complete beast transformation into a snake, Su Wan finally said helplessly, "Then shall I send you his contact information?"
"Let’s not do that for now. He will come to your wedding later, right? I’ll ask him then."
"... Okay then."
Su Wan felt that her attempt to find a handsome uncle for her mother was a bit superfluous.
Because she believed that her mother was capable of finding a whole line of handsome uncles!
At this point, Lin Ranyue suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Xiaowan, at your wedding, there is a ceremony where the father must walk the bride toward the groom. The Imperial Family’s representatives asked about it. Do you plan on having Su Zhen fill that role?"
