Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 88 He is the Love I Want

Su Wan smiled, "No, just a minor tweak."

Luo Manya looked around skeptically.

Although she had only been here once, she remembered it being as cold as a laboratory.

But now, the roses in the garden were fiery red and delicate.

The beige furniture looked so soft, and the artificial breeze brushed past the tasseled curtains, gently swaying them.

Ah, this finally feels like a home!

What was it before?

Luo Manya’s fondness for Su Wan had skyrocketed, even surpassing her affection for her husband!

She was already a meticulous and gentle person, and the conversation that followed was very pleasant.

Just last night, Su Wan had made some pastries for Mr. Leng and Mr. G and had some leftover, which she now brought out.

She also had the household robot make some fruit tea and invited Luo Manya and her attendants to afternoon tea.

Everyone ate and chatted together.

Lin Ranyue was also there, occasionally offering some suggestions.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, evening had arrived, and Luo Manya had to return to the Imperial Palace.

She was a bit reluctant to leave and didn’t want to go at all, thinking Su Wan might personally make dinner.

But as the Empress, she had to abide by many rules and could only return to the Imperial Palace before nightfall.

Luo Manya said, "If you’re unsure about any procedures, I can come over tomorrow and teach you."

Su Wan didn’t dare to trouble her and quickly said, "It’s okay, I’ve learned it all. Really, if I have any problems, I can just ask you over the neural computer."

"Oh, well, okay then."

Her tone was very dejected.

As she boarded the Royal Aircraft to the Imperial Palace, her attendant saw Luo Manya’s solemn expression and quickly asked, "Your Highness, what’s the matter?"

"I’m fine, just suddenly sentimental that youth is wonderful."

"Your Highness, you are not old at all."

"You don’t understand."

Luo Manya looked wistfully at her own reflection in the glass.

If the person at Su Wan’s house had been her sister Jina, she definitely wouldn’t have had to leave.

She would have stayed to enjoy Su Wan’s cooking and then stayed up late chatting with her.

But such simple joys of youth were now too far out of her reach.

Not to mention with Su Wan, even with her own sister Jina, she couldn’t do this.

She was the Empress of the Federal Empire, and she had to maintain the propriety and dignity of the Empress at all times.

It’s better for the in-laws.

Once retired, the couple could freely travel the universe.

The attendant, still somewhat worried, asked, "Your Highness, what are you thinking about, to be so lost in thought?"

"I’m wondering, when will His Majesty retire?"

"..."

The attendant didn’t dare to continue the conversation.

Because this question, it was beyond her purview!

**

In the blink of an eye, the day before the wedding arrived.

Gu Jue still hadn’t returned.

Although last night, Gu Jue had a long conversation with Su Wan for over an hour and said he would definitely be back before tonight,

Su Wan still felt a vague unease.

She shouldn’t be so unlucky as to be stood up by the groom twice... right?

Spit spit spit, of course not!

Coincidentally, there were some matters at school that needed her attention, so she had to go back. Moreover, she had asked Luo Jina and Sheng An to be her bridesmaids.

For convenience, she planned to take them both to her place tonight, as tomorrow morning would be hectic and they would definitely be short on time.

So Su Wan thought she would deal with the school matters, then pick up the two companions.

As a result, as soon as Su Wan entered the school, she saw Principal Mu Lei standing there, as if waiting for someone.

And then... she took a detour!

Although she didn’t know how her mother’s relationship with Principal Mu would develop in the future,

for now, Su Wan still felt a chill down her spine whenever she saw Principal Mu.

Perhaps Su Wan was just unlucky, but as she turned around, she almost bumped into someone.

When she looked up.

Oh, her ex-fiancé.

Huo Yichang appeared extremely haggard, his originally refined and handsome face now seemed to bear a layer of world-weariness.

It was evident that he had not been doing well recently.

Even though he was admired by many girls at school,

after comparing, Huo Yichang realized that Su Wan was the best!

He couldn’t quite pinpoint what made Su Wan so good, but he just knew she was unmatched by anyone!

Seeing Su Wan turning to leave, Huo Yichang quickly spoke up.

"Xiaowan, don’t be in such a hurry to leave! I know you are getting married to Commander Gu. I’m not here to break you two up; I’m here to wish you well!"

Su Wan sneered, "Do you think you have the ability to break us up?"

Huo Yichang: "Xiaowan, I’ve thought it over carefully, and I was wrong! That day, I should have let the rescue team save Su Man, and I shouldn’t have missed our wedding!"

Huo Yichang’s eyes turned red, "It was all my fault."

Su Wan nodded, "No, I’m actually quite thankful to you, thanks for not making it back that day."

"Xiaowan... was the love you had for me in the past all fake?"

Huo Yichang actually knew that he and Su Wan were drifting further apart.

If Su Wan were to marry someone else, he might still have a chance.

But her partner was the First Commander Gu Jue... he stood no chance at all.

So now, he was fixated on one thing.

Was the love Su Wan had for him all those years ago ever real?

Meanwhile, Huo Yichang quietly activated the recording function on his light-brain...

What Su Wan and Huo Yichang didn’t know was that, not far away, a few more people were standing.

Clad in military uniforms smeared with the green blood of the Insect Clan,

they had engaged in a brutal battle with mutated members of the Insect Clan to rescue the hostages from a hijacked space ship.

Finally, they had successfully rescued Principal Audrey and others from the spacecraft.

They decided to safely return the individuals to the school before heading home.

And that’s when they witnessed this scene.

Eric wiped the green blood off his cheek, took a cautious step back, and then tried to give Rick a meaningful look.

But Rick had already retreated several steps!

On the other side, Mu Lei’s reaction was even more exaggerated, totally out of sight!

In a situation like this, they didn’t know what would happen to an Empress if she said the wrong thing,

but as for them, the spectators, they expected that the Commander would silence them immediately if necessary.

The man at the front had an injury on his arm caused by a fang piercing through, which had already been bandaged,

and the Beastmen’s robust bodies meant such a small wound wouldn’t affect him.

Still, the sight of the injury was startling.

Yet the man didn’t even frown.

Gu Jue’s face was expressionless, but only White Tiger, his intelligent brain, knew how fast its master’s heart was beating.

He might look cold and indifferent,

but he was actually tense to the point of exploding!

The master was probably afraid that the Empress would say she still loved her ex-boyfriend or something...

And just at that moment, Su Wan spoke.

"Because of the rule that one must marry before the age of twenty, I felt any marriage would do, but after meeting Ajue, I realized."

She smiled faintly, her smile as radiant as the rosy clouds of dawn.

"He is the love I’ve been looking for."
