Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 96: Will You Marry Him? (Extra for 100 Monthly Votes)
Mu Lei was startled.
He hadn’t done anything.
He just noticed something on Lin Ranyue’s shoulder, maybe a petal?
It must have landed there during the wedding ceremony.
Lin Ranyue couldn’t see it herself and wasn’t able to remove it.
Mu Lei was merely trying to help her out.
And now he was being questioned for it?
Just as Mu Lei was about to politely explain, Lin Ranyue became irritated. She glared at Su Zhen, "What we’re doing is none of your business, is it?"
Su Zhen: "Lin Ranyue! You just divorced me not long ago, and you’ve already found another man? Tell me, have you been with this bastard for a long time already?"
"So what if I have! Su Zhen, have you forgotten that we’re divorced? You’ve been all over Du Weiwei, and yet you won’t allow me to find a new love?"
"You!"
Mu Lei stood beside them, looking embarrassed.
Bastard?
New love?
Was he the one being talked about?
Feeling uncomfortable with the situation, Mu Lei attempted to open his mouth to explain again when Lin Ranyue suddenly looked at him.
She blinked at him, as if pleading with him to play along.
And the words he’d prepared to explain lodged in his throat.
At this moment, Su Zhen was shaking with anger!
His foot, already hurting, now seemed unbearable, making it difficult to stand.
Lin Ranyue held her chin high, like a proud queen.
"Su Zhen, today is Xiaowan’s big day. If you keep on making a scene here, I’ll have you thrown out! We wouldn’t want you to embarrass Xiaowan!"
As soon as Su Zhen thought of his daughter Xiaowan, he remembered the cold eyes of the stern Commander...
He gave Mu Lei a fierce glare and then turned to leave.
After he walked away, Lin Ranyue turned around and said to Mu Lei with great apologetic, "Director Mu, I’m sorry for causing a scene and troubling you. I can’t really delve into the specifics right now, since today is Xiaowan’s wedding. I’ll find a chance to explain to you later, is that ok?"
"It’s fine. Oh, the ceremony has started over there; let’s head over," he said.
"Alright."
Seeing that Mu Lei didn’t dwell on it, Lin Ranyue let out a sigh of relief.
Contact information successfully exchanged, check!
A firm misconception established, check!
Next date scheduled, check!
It seems that the bastard Su Zhen isn’t completely useless after all.

The snow-white hem of the wedding dress glided over the blue-gold carpet, while above, the crystal chandelier refracted a magnificent light.
Su Wan was escorted by her uncle Lin Huitang towards Gu Jue.
The scene felt familiar, yet the emotions within it were entirely different.
As she reached him and took Gu Jue’s hand, the familiar warmth soothed her immediately.
The officiant was speaking, but Gu Jue whispered in Su Wan’s ear, "Tired?"
"A little."
"Just hang in there, it’ll all be over after this," he said.
Su Wan certainly remembered the wedding proceedings.
She whispered, "Don’t we still have to go to the Imperial Palace for dinner with the Empress later on?"
"It’s no big deal, it’s just a family dinner, or they could even come to our residence."
Su Wan couldn’t help but find it amusing.
It was fortunate that the Imperial couple were very easy-going people, never minding Gu Jue’s behavior.
Even though Gu Jue was their younger uncle, the status of Gu Zilan and Luo Manya still mattered.
She whispered, "Let’s not break tradition, it’s just a dinner at the palace. Besides, I want to thank them personally with a meal I cooked myself."
Though she couldn’t tell them she was the Food God.
But Su Wan remembered well how Luo Manya loved the dishes she prepared.
With her own wedding keeping them busy for so long, she felt they deserved at least a token of gratitude.
Oh, and His Highness Gu Zilan is with her as well.
Gu Jue frowned unhappily, "Having a meal together is fine, but you don’t need to cook. It’s too tiring."
Commander Gu cared deeply for his little wife.
The master of ceremonies, who had been ignored by the newlyweds for a long time, pitifully coughed for the third time.
He repeated himself, "Mr. Gu Jue, may I ask if you are willing to take Miss Su Wan as your wife?"
Finally, the couple turned their gaze upon the master of ceremonies.
As if they had just remembered his presence.
Gu Jue: "I do."
The master of ceremonies let out a sigh of relief and quickly said to Su Wan, "Miss Su Wan, do you wish to marry Mr. Gu Jue and become his wife?"
"I, do."
At the last wedding ceremony, there was no name for Gu Jue.
This time it was included.
The moment Su Wan and Gu Jue kissed, everyone began to applaud.
The not-so-perfect wedding from before was finally complete.
There were many guests today, but the wedding went very smoothly.
For security, in addition to the Imperial Family’s special guard team, Gu Jue’s elite interstellar warriors from the First Army were also stationed at the venue and all crucial locations.
Nobody dared to cause trouble on such an important day.
And of course, no one could.
Lucifer, who had no chance of entering the hall, left with a face ashen with rage. Before leaving, he gave Du Weiwei a look that was as cold as death.
Du Weiwei’s legs went weak.
In that moment, she felt like Lucifer wanted to kill her!
On the other side, Su Man looked on in stunned disbelief as Huo Yichang, dressed in a black suit, headed towards the entrance of the wedding venue.
She called out to Huo Yichang, "Brother Huo, you’re actually attending Su Wan’s wedding?"
The expression on Huo Yichang’s face did not seem like he was here to attend a wedding.
It was more like he had resigned himself to fate.
But what could he do when Gu Jue personally asked him to come? If he dared not show up... Huo Yichang knew he wouldn’t appear at Empire University tomorrow.
Moreover, by now, Huo Yichang had finally realized something.
That was, if it hadn’t been for Su Man’s sabotage, he would have been with Su Wan long ago, and there would be nothing for Commander Gu to fuss about!
So, without even glancing at Su Man, he stepped forward and walked in.
Su Man: "..."

Most people today were not qualified to attend this remarkable wedding.
They could only watch eagerly online, waiting for some photos and videos to be leaked.
Some had already edited videos, which soared in popularity and remained high in views.
Of course, there were still some who believed that Su Wan was not good enough for Commander Gu.
When everyone in the luxurious banquet hall began enjoying the delicious food, an explosive announcement scrolled online.
"Today, to celebrate the happy wedding of Su Wan, the manager of Su Family Restaurant, the first one hundred ninety-nine customers at every Su Family Restaurant in ten regions get to enjoy their meals on the house. Moreover, the lucky ones might even win a taste of delicacies personally made by the Food God."
As soon as this message was out, the whole internet exploded!
This was indeed a grand gesture!
It is well-known that in the ten regions of the Interstellar Federation, each region has at least one Su Family Restaurant, whose meals are recognized as the most expensive and delicious in the entire Federation Empire!
So, the people online stopped their chatter and quickly muted themselves, rushing to the Su Family Restaurants in their respective regions!
Charge! Strive to be among the first 199 customers!
Why one hundred ninety-nine? It’s simple. It’s a blessing for the newlyweds to have happiness for a long, long time!
The internet instantly became peaceful and serene, with the few negative voices quickly drowning out.
No matter how much you control public opinion, nothing works better than this! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
A favor rewarded with food is hard to deny.
And most importantly, this move by the wife of the Commander is truly generous!
Su Zhen saw this announcement and whispered to the elder Su beside him, "Father, wouldn’t this cause the restaurant to lose a lot of money?"
