Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 92: The White Tiger is Very Disappointed in its Master (Bonus - for 50 Monthly Votes)
Su Wan heard the door close and immediately grabbed the bathrobe next to her, wrapping herself up tightly.
When she turned around and saw Gu Jue, her cheeks immediately flushed with heat, and she was somewhat at a loss for words.
"Gu Jue, why did you come in without knocking!"
Even between husband and wife, there should be some privacy!
Seeing her nervous and blushing countenance, Gu Jue naturally said, "Sorry."
Su Wan’s mouth twitched.
This man’s apologies were getting more and more skilled!
Gu Jue was dressed in a black set of homewear, the soft and fitting fabric highlighting his impressive physique.
He stepped forward, his tone as neutral as ever.
"The video that Huo Yichang posted online has sparked a highly heated discussion. I had someone control the public opinion and came to ask if you had any other thoughts on this matter."
Only then did Su Wan remember the incident.
She immediately had Xiaobai pull up the video from the internet.
There were all sorts of comments online.
At first, although some still believed that Su Wan wasn’t good enough for Commander Gu, after all, the two were already married.
Most rational netizens offered their congratulations.
Especially after seeing the couple rushing toward each other, embracing, many netizens were shouting how sweet it was.
But as the popularity of the video post soared, some dug up the video of the wedding ceremony that Su Wan and Gu Jue had previously conducted.
"I’m a bit confused, what exactly is going on here? What exactly is Huo Yichang’s relationship with Commander Gu’s wife?"
"Crematory, oh no, Huo Yichang is the Commander’s lady’s former fiancé."
"Huo Yichang didn’t show up on his wedding day, and then the Commander’s lady married the Commander?"
"Is it true that the Commander is actually just a substitute?"
Su Wan saw this and frowned slightly.
She said, "Control the public opinion a bit, I don’t want them to speak of you like this. After all, concerning Huo Yichang, it’s all part of my past..."
"I don’t care what they say."
Su Wan’s mouth opened slightly, looking at Gu Jue’s serious appearance, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.
This man, except during his Manic-Depressive Period, always seemed so cold.
But Su Wan could feel his affection for her.
The indulgence in small things, the quiet care, and the occasional intense pampering.
But when did he start liking her like this?
"It’s late, get some sleep," Gu Jue bent down, kissed her forehead, "I’ve got people watching the internet, there won’t be major issues."
Su Wan could only nod in agreement.
She watched as Gu Jue left.
The White Tiger fluttering at the doorway saw Gu Jue come out and felt suddenly disappointed.
"Master, I thought you would stay tonight! Your arm injury shouldn’t affect anything. Master, can you bear to let the lady of the house sleep alone?"
Gu Jue ignored it and turned back to another bedroom.
He simply, didn’t want to tire her tonight.
Because tomorrow’s wedding ceremony would be quite complicated and very exhausting.
Yet, even so, the image of her trying on that fiery red, diaphanous wedding gown... so beautiful, lingered in Gu Jue’s mind.
Forget it, time for a cold shower.
**
Tomorrow is the wedding day of the Federation Empire’s First Commander, and the internet is abuzz with excitement.
Su Man lay in bed, turned off her lightbrain, grinding her teeth in frustration.
She thought, Su Wan must be utterly pleased with herself right now!
Having married a man with such a prestigious status all of a sudden, and to even be pregnant...
Ha, who knows whether the child in her belly is really the Commander’s!
"Right! If the internet starts saying that the child isn’t the Commander’s, Su Wan’s reputation will be completely ruined!"
Then, the Su Family will have to reconsider, whether or not to want her as the successor!
Su Man’s eyes suddenly lit up.
She believed she had found the best angle to attack Su Wan.
Considering the many media that would certainly be at tomorrow’s wedding, all she had to do was casually drop a few words, and who wouldn’t the reporters write about?
Su Man’s mood immediately improved!
She also decided that she would dress up beautifully tomorrow.
After picking out the dress she would wear tomorrow, Su Man realized she was missing some jewelry.
She decided to go to her mother and borrow a few pieces to wear.
This was the house that Su Zhen had bought in the First Star District, not very big, but it was sufficient as a temporary residence.
However, Su Zhen wasn’t here today; he had gone to the Su Family’s restaurant in the First Star District, and nobody knew what for.
Only Su Man and her mother, Du Weiwei, remained in the house.
But when Su Man approached her mother’s bedroom door, she suddenly heard voices inside!
One was her mother’s, and the other... belonged to an unfamiliar man!
Because of the door, Su Man couldn’t make out exactly what the two people were saying.
Just as she was contemplating eavesdropping some more, the voices suddenly stopped, and the door flung open.
Su Man jumped in shock!
It seemed that in the instant the door was opened, Su Man caught a glimpse of something pink flash by?
Du Weiwei, seeing it was her daughter, sighed in relief, but her expression remained displeased.
She stood in the doorway with no intention of letting her daughter in.
"Xiaoman, what are you doing?"
"Mom, I wanted to borrow some jewelry for tomorrow... Were you communicating with someone?"
"I was chatting with a friend. Tomorrow morning, when you have changed into your dress, come over to match the jewelry. It’ll be more suitable. It’s late now, you should go to sleep early, and remember, you need to be energetic for tomorrow. The wedding will be attended by many important figures and their descendants."
"Okay, I got it, good night, Mom."
After watching her daughter leave, Du Weiwei turned and went back into her room, closing the door behind her.
Yet, another person remained in Du Weiwei’s room.
The man appeared to be in his thirties, with peach blossom eyes and a somewhat charming face, but his gaze held a hint of mischief.
The diamond stud in his left ear emitted a seductively red glow. His black, tousled hair partially concealed those mischievous eyes.
He was a man so beautiful he was almost bewitching.
Of course, if one could ignore the lower half of his body, those frightfully menacing octopus tentacles.
Lucifer’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Weiwei, how come your daughter is even uglier than you?"
"Great Lord Lucifer, this... this isn’t something I have control over."
In Lucifer’s presence, Du Weiwei was in a very complex state.
Half of her was filled with ardent adoration.
The other half was intense fear.
The intertwining of these emotions contorted her facial features.
If Su Zhen saw Du Weiwei’s expression now, he would probably be so terrified that he’d never dare to hold his first love again.
Lucifer sat on the sofa, his tentacles swaying lightly.
A screen materialized in front of him, displaying the video Huo Yichang had secretly recorded.
The video paused on the scene where Su Wan was in Gu Jue’s embrace.
"Tsk, I didn’t expect Su Zhen’s daughter to be so beautiful. No wonder our dear Commander has fallen for her, even I’m moved by her."
Such a lovely girl.
She should be slowly, intimately, wrapped by tentacles, watching as she gradually runs out of breath...
However, Du Weiwei felt a flicker of dark resentment upon hearing Lucifer compliment Su Wan.
Su Wan was just like her mother, pretty but empty!
Why were men so shallow, forgetting everything upon seeing a beautiful woman!
But these thoughts were something Du Weiwei only dared to grumble about in her heart; she wouldn’t dare utter them in front of Lucifer.
After relishing Su Wan’s beauty in the video for a while, Lucifer said lazily, "Tomorrow, you find a way to bring me into the wedding banquet. I want to give a grand gift to our dear Commander!"
