The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 249: Our Father Is Not Human

She pulled the quilt to cover the view in front, then asked, "Has Aunt Wan contacted you?"

Lu Shinian also sat up and replied, "Yes, she wants to see you again and asked about your second brother’s news."

"I sent my second brother a message yesterday, but he hasn’t replied yet," Su Ruan frowned slightly, "Could something unexpected have happened to him?"

"No." Lu Shinian replied with certainty, without a shred of hesitation.

Su Ruan was somewhat surprised when she heard this and looked at Lu Shinian.

She thought of a possibility.

"Did you get in touch with my second brother?"

Lu Shinian was surprised by Su Ruan’s perceptiveness, but then thought it seemed only natural.

His Ruan Ruan had always been very smart.

"I contacted him," Lu Shinian said, "If Ruan Ruan wants to see him, we can go find him tonight."

"But it’s best to keep the meeting time under an hour."

This consideration was due to the Divine Revelation Society.

After all, the Divine Revelation Society now has their eyes on Su Heyuan, who took all the blame for sabotaging the Insect People experiment.

If they expose themselves by meeting with Su Heyuan for too long now, then all the previous plans and efforts would be in vain.

Su Ruan nodded in agreement.

A brief meeting is better than none, although one hour is indeed a bit short, it’s enough to ask her second brother about matters concerning their mother.

"What about Aunt Wan..."

Su Ruan looked at Lu Shinian, "Should Aunt Wan be invited as well?"

Lu Shinian’s eyes darkened slightly, with a storm brewing deep within his pupils.

Too many people caught Ruan Ruan’s attention, huh.

Despite the jealousy surging in his heart, Lu Shinian still respected Su Ruan’s opinion outwardly, "Let Ruan Ruan decide."

Su Ruan pondered for a moment before saying, "Let’s leave it for now."

"I’ll ask my second brother about our mother’s situation first, and meet Aunt Wan tomorrow."

"Okay." Lu Shinian had no objections to this; he even hoped Ruan Ruan wouldn’t meet anyone and would spend all her time with him.

But all of that seemed to be a mere fantasy.

Lu Shinian lowered his eyes, with a flickering gaze harboring something unfathomable.

They hid again, deep and invisible.

After discussing this matter, Su Ruan pulled Lu Shinian to get up and tidy up, and also sent a message to Wan Yaoqian to arrange a meeting for tomorrow noon.

Wan Yaoqian was naturally very happy to agree, even wishing time to pass quickly, so she could see Su Ruan sooner.

Perhaps, she could also quickly learn about the commander.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Lu Shinian secretly arranged for Su Ruan to meet with Su Heyuan.

After absorbing the Level 5 Energy Stone, Su Heyuan’s Ancestral Stage had stabilized, at least he wouldn’t suddenly fall into hibernation.

This was also one of the reasons he agreed to the meeting this time.

The three met at his place. After sitting down, Su Ruan asked a few questions about his recent situation and then shifted the topic to their mother.

"Second brother, is our mother still alive?" Su Ruan asked directly.

Su Heyuan adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, causing the lenses to reflect light.

Instead of answering Su Ruan’s question directly, he asked, "Why did my sister suddenly think of asking this?"

"Aunt Wan came to find me yesterday." Su Ruan said, explaining the meeting with Wan Yaoqian to Su Heyuan.

Su Heyuan listened, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "I see."

No wonder their mother had quite a study in the field of potions; it turned out she was once a commander of the Fourth Legion.

By the time Su Heyuan was born, Su’s mother had already left the Fourth Legion for a long time, so he naturally didn’t know what his mother had gone through in the past.

The only thing he could be sure of was, "Mother is still alive."

Su Ruan’s eyes suddenly brightened, and she leaned forward unconsciously, putting her hands on the table in front, as if eagerly seeking a definite answer, she asked again, "Really?"

"Really," Su Heyuan reaffirmed, "Both our father and mother are still alive."

After a pause, he pinched his nose bridge and added, "But I don’t know where they are right now."

To find a way to let his sister live safely, their parents had left twenty years ago.

They hadn’t contacted them all these years.

But Su Heyuan always believed they were still alive, surely they were.

Upon hearing the news that they were still alive, Su Ruan lifted a big smile and assuredly said, "Mm! As long as they are alive!"

As long as they were alive, she believed she’d surely find them.

Their family would reunite someday.

Su Heyuan looked at the beaming Su Ruan, feeling a fleeting moment of distraction.

Wan Yaoqian’s words were correct; she resembled her mother a lot.

Not in appearance, but in the infectious energy that seemed to bring joy and vitality to those around her.

He pursed his lips lightly and lowered his head, using his index finger and thumb to hold the edge of the glasses, slowly removing them and placing them on the table.

He closed his eyes. One could faintly see the trembling of his long eyelashes.

"Sister." Su Heyuan suddenly spoke up, "Actually, there are things that I think you need to know now."

He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of vertical pupils.

The originally round pupils contracted into a fine line, faintly tinged with green.

Su Ruan realized something, sat up straight, and grasped Lu Shinian’s big hand with her right hand, as her palm seemed to sweat a bit.

Lu Shinian held her small hand in return, transmitting his warmth to her.

"Our mother left the Fourth Legion because of our father."

Su Heyuan stared tightly at Su Ruan, the narrow pupils reflecting no emotions, filled with coldness and bloodlust.

At this moment, Su Heyuan seemed less like the gentle being with hints of human kindness and more like a cold-blooded animal lurking in the dark, ready to hunt, striking ruthlessly if the prey in front showed any sign of escape.

The temperature in the enclosure gradually dropped, chilling to the bone.

The cold crept across the skin, making Su Ruan look at Su Heyuan more seriously.

She didn’t shy away from his gaze, face to face, seemingly unaware of what was to come.

Or perhaps she knew, but she was not afraid at all.

Though she knew something was off with her second brother’s state, she trusted him, trusted her brother who had always protected her.

Su Heyuan seemed satisfied with her reaction and slowly continued, "Strictly speaking, our father is not human."

Su Ruan had an inkling in her heart.

She thought of Aiers, the high-level Insect Race that called her "cub".

Aiers said it was because she "traveled" into the Insect Race’s Spiritual Domain and did many things there, earning her affection, but she always wondered why she could enter the Insect Race’s Spiritual Domain.
