Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 814: The Death of Doris

"Ah!"

Doris didn’t expect Bai Li to act so swiftly, she had no chance to resist.

The feeling of her soul being scorched by flames made her feel like dying a thousand deaths.

But amidst the overwhelming pain, her gradually numbing soul reminded Doris of the days when she had just awakened and fought alongside Gaia.

How exhilarating those times were.

If they wanted to cry, they cried, if they wanted to laugh, they laughed.

They piloted mechas together to fight enemies, experiencing the results of success or failure together...

A tear fell from the corner of her eye.

But why did Gaia abandon her? Why did she drive her out from her own body!

Even though Gaia said she would help her find a suitable body, Doris should have her own life.

But Gaia, my life cannot be without you! I came into existence because of you!

Thinking back to the end, Gaia chose Lin Lun, chose love, chose to give up their plans of conquering the universe, leaving her all alone... 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

So, what is the meaning of being alive?

Because Gaia no longer needed her a long time ago...

The sound of a crack, that was the sound of a soul shattering, heard clearly only by Su Man.

She shivered.

For a moment, Su Man thought she had also died, because that terrifying feeling was like a hand gripping her neck.

Just like recently, when she reached out and gripped Gu Yan’s neck.

Except this hand was cold, filled with the breath of death.

Then, the Doris within her body no longer had any breath of life...

Su Man still couldn’t move, but her eyes shivered and noticed that Bai Li had turned to leave.

Su Man’s voice trembled as she said, "Why, why don’t you kill me?"

"She was dangerous, it’s better that she’s dead. As for you, living should be more painful."

"..."

If her body wasn’t immobilized, Su Man would’ve collapsed to the ground by now, because it was only at that moment that she fully realized how powerful Lord Insect God was!

Offending him...

Su Man now regretted deeply, how could she think that Gu Yan would be easier to deal with than her mother Su Wan?

How gravely mistaken!

Meanwhile, Bai Li walked out of the prison and picked up the optical brain, coldly saying, "That instrument doesn’t need to be sent over."

Xi Le respectfully replied, "Yes."

Bai Li: "As for your wife Su Man, I’ll leave it to Su Wan to handle, you can pretend you never knew her."

Xi Le felt helpless, but it was an expected outcome.

He cautiously asked, "Then Lord, about me and the children... I truly didn’t know about this, and I never helped her with anything in this matter."

Bai Li: "Commander Su said that this matter doesn’t concern you and your children."

Xi Le was finally relieved.

However, ending the communication, he sighed, "Su Man, I always thought you were smart, but you are anything but smart, you are utterly foolish!"

Though he felt some pity, Xi Le didn’t say a word in defense of Su Man, partly to distance himself from her, partly for the sake of his and their children... After all, Xiaoyao was still on Landis Star!

He wondered if Gu Yan would still have a good relationship with Xiaoyao in the future?

Moreover, Xi Le realized clearly that in this matter, any words in defense of Su Man would be useless.

Doris, who helped had died, what good outcome could the mastermind Su Man expect?

Xi Le sighed again, turned around, and busied himself with tasks Bai Li had assigned.

On the other side, Su Wan had people fix the damaged parts of the Fruit and Vegetable Space, but couldn’t repair it fully. She returned to the mansion just as Gu Jue finished his military affairs and returned.

Gu Jue looked around and asked, "Is Xiaoyan going to stay in the hospital for a few days?"

Su Wan nodded, "She’s fine now, but staying there overnight for observation is safer, and Bai Li will be with her."

Commander Gu wasn’t too happy.

But he couldn’t come up with an argument.

The whole wolf felt a bit depressed.

Raising a daughter for so long, only to be taken away by that old insect?

Su Wan knew exactly what was bothering her husband. She couldn’t help but laugh, pulling him to sit on the sofa, "Ajue, Xiaoyan has grown up, and Bai Li is someone she chose herself. From this incident, you can see, Bai Li cares a lot about her, probably more than we do. What are you still worried about?"

"I understand all this, it’s just frustrating."

Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, I understand. Next time, let Bai Li pilot a mecha and have a fight with you. He might be better in other areas, but he can’t outmatch you in piloting a mecha. Beating him up should make you feel better."

Only this would calm the father-in-law down.

Gu Jue thought it was feasible and planned to suggest it to Bai Li once Xiaoyan recovered.

Today’s incident was a false alarm but also served as a reminder to the couple that they could never completely eliminate danger. They should gradually let go regarding their daughter Xiaoyan, to allow her to grow strong, have her friends and her lover. Only then would she become stronger and protect herself better.

When fledglings are ready, they should be allowed to fly.

On the other side, Vivian and the others, seeing Bai Li return, thought it was time for Gu Yan to rest, and so the three girls left.

However, while leaving, Su Yao was unusually quiet.

She was the youngest and most lively of the four, such silent behavior was rare.

Xu Wei’an held Su Yao’s hand, "Xiaoyao, are you worried about your mother?"

Su Yao smiled bitterly, "How can I not be, but there’s nothing I can do. I can’t save her; she’s too stubborn. I feel more guilt towards Xiaoyan."

"Don’t think too much about it, Xiaoyan doesn’t blame you."

"It’s because she doesn’t blame me that it hurts even more."

One must know, her mother almost killed Xiaoyan!

Talking, the three of them boarded a flyer, with Vivian setting the destination to the Su Family restaurant, to first send Su Yao to the employees’ dormitory.

She said, "Xiaoyan is just like her mother Su Wan, distinguishing clearly between gratitude and grudges. They both seem gentle but are clear about love and hate. They are ruthless to those who harm them but will never misplace their anger."

What her father Lucifer did was even more atrocious, repeatedly harming Commander Su Wan and her family in his youth.
