The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 246: She’s More Interested in You

They seem to guard only those two planets, generation after generation, unwilling to get involved in too many mundane affairs.

All in all, they are a very strange group of people.

Su Ruan noticed Lu Shinian taking the initiative to mention the people of the Fourth Legion, and associating it with the matter of the mineral vein, she vaguely guessed something and asked, "The people from the Fourth Legion have taken a liking to that mineral vein?"

"Mm." Lu Shinian responded quietly, "But for now, they’ve lost interest in the mineral vein."

Su Ruan: ???

"Hmm?" Su Ruan was a bit confused, "What do you mean?"

"That Wan Yaoqian seems more interested in Ruan Ruan."

Speaking of this, Lu Shinian’s eyes darkened slightly.

His Ruan Ruan really was too enchanting.

There were always some people who inexplicably showed up, full of interest in his Ruan Ruan, like that Insect Race named Aiers, and now Wan Yaoqian from the Fourth Legion too.

When thinking about this, Lu Shinian’s eyes surged with an undercurrent, wishing he could hide Su Ruan away, allowing only him to see her.

His chest quickly rose and fell, his gaze dropped slightly, and his thin lips parted a little.

"Does Ruan Ruan want to meet her?"

Su Ruan pondered for two seconds; she didn’t know this Wan Yaoqian, but since Wan Yaoqian was from the Fourth Legion and interested in the mineral vein, it made sense for her to go and meet.

What if there was a breakthrough in the mineral vein matter?

"I’ll go meet." Su Ruan nodded, saying, "When shall we go over?"

Lu Shinian glanced at the time; it was already one in the afternoon.

"Tonight then." Lu Shinian held Su Ruan, burying his head in her neck, "Accompany me to nap for a while, hmm?"

Su Ruan obediently answered, "Okay."

Lu Shinian’s breathing gradually became steady, and he actually fell asleep holding Su Ruan.

Su Ruan slightly adjusted her posture so Lu Shinian could sleep more comfortably.

On the other side, Wan Yaoqian was anxiously waiting for Lu Shinian to inform her.

Suddenly, the Light Brain rang.

Wan Yaoqian’s eyes lit up, a bright color blooming on her enchanting face.

But when she arrived at the incoming call section, the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

She connected the call, speaking carelessly, "What’s the matter?"

A gentle female voice came from the other side, "Did you get the mineral vein situation settled?"

"No." Wan Yaoqian tutted lightly, "Lu Shinian won’t budge."

"Did you negotiate?" the voice asked again.

"Had a talk." Wan Yaoqian lazily yawned, "Judging from his attitude, I guess many people in the Third Legion are experiencing the Ancestral Stage."

She chuckled, "Well, the Third Legion seems to have about a million people, right?"

"Even if only a tenth are in the Ancestral Stage, that’s still a considerable number."

The voice said again, "The mineral vein is imperative for us."

Wan Yaoqian lightly snorted, cleared her throat, sat up slightly straighter, and said, "Wen Qing, I think I’ve found the officer’s daughter."

There came a sound of something dropping from the other side.

Soon, another sweet, loli-like voice piped up, "Where, where?"

"Ye Tiantian." The gentle voice spoke again, "Let me talk to Little Qian first."

Ye Tiantian responded with an "Oh" and stepped aside.

Only then did Wen Qing ask, "Where is she? Are you sure she’s the officer’s daughter?"

"Not sure." Wan Yaoqian sounded a bit troubled, "But she looks a lot like the officer."

"I’ve arranged to meet with her, still waiting for a response."

"Got it." Wen Qing said, "We’re already on our way, probably will be there by tomorrow morning, we’ll talk then."

Wan Yaoqian answered and then hung up the call.

She was still waiting for Lu Shinian to notify her, after all, and couldn’t let other calls occupy the line.

Wan Yaoqian waited until six in the evening to receive news from Lu Shinian.

Lu Shinian scheduled the meeting in the compartment from noontime today, at seven, and most importantly, he would bring Su Ruan along.

Wan Yaoqian changed her clothes, pinned up her hair, inserted a hairpin, and then rushed to the compartment scheduled for today.

Not long after she arrived, Lu Shinian and Su Ruan also arrived.

Su Ruan’s first impression of Wan Yaoqian was beauty.

Wan Yaoqian wore a cheongsam, outlining her enchanting figure, her hair was pinned up, with just a hairpin, adding a touch of solemnity.

This blend of enchantment and solemnity didn’t contradict in Wan Yaoqian, instead, it was tamed by the maturity between her brows.

Wan Yaoqian’s beauty was somewhat aggressive, yet it did not feel abrasive; this beauty was openly, candidly presented, whether one liked it or not, she was candid throughout.

Su Ruan felt a good impression at first glance of Wan Yaoqian, hence her curiosity toward her purpose in meeting her grew.

After the three sat down, Wan Yaoqian couldn’t stop scrutinizing Su Ruan, hands clasped together on her lap, seemingly conflicted.

Su Ruan also gazed at Wan Yaoqian, looking puzzled.

As for Lu Shinian sitting beside, he showed a calm face, revealing nothing.

After a long silence, Wan Yaoqian finally couldn’t help but say, "You look a lot like your mother."

Su Ruan was taken aback.

Mother?

Su Ruan rarely heard the word "mother," in her memory, her mother left right after she was born.

Her three brothers always said her parents went far, far away, when she was little, she wondered why, even if her parents went far, they never came back to see her even once.

As she grew up, she gradually realized that what her brothers referred to as going far, far away, probably meant... they passed away?

Su Ruan’s long lashes trembled slightly, she said softly, "I’m sorry, I don’t remember what my mother looked like."

Wan Yaoqian was also startled.

The officer had disappeared thirty years ago, right when she was just pregnant, although the current girl’s age differed slightly from her memory, yet...

Wan Yaoqian’s gaze fell on Su Ruan’s face.

Far too similar.

"It’s alright." Wan Yaoqian smiled, "I have many photos of her, should we exchange Light Brain numbers? I’ll send them to you?"

The offer was too tempting and seeing the person appear very friendly, Su Ruan didn’t refuse.

She and Wan Yaoqian added each other as friends.

Seeing the confirmed friend request, Wan Yaoqian smiled contentedly.

She didn’t immediately send the photos to Su Ruan, instead, she asked, "What about your mother? Where is she now?"

She didn’t seem to realize there was anything odd about Su Ruan saying she couldn’t remember her mother’s appearance, after all, in the Fourth Legion, there were people with facial blindness, it was really quite normal not to remember someone’s appearance.

But this question stumped Su Ruan.

"I don’t know."

Su Ruan lowered her eyes softly, in the end, she didn’t want to utter those words which were cruel to both her and her mother.

Wan Yaoqian withdrew her gaze with some disappointment.

"Oh, you don’t know where the officer is either."

"I thought..."

She paused, seemingly thinking of something, and heaved a sigh.
