Chapter 275: Chapter 275: With such a family, could the kid not mature early?
Su Wan: "Today in the Imperial Palace, I saw Bai Nanxi. She came with Duke Bai, and they’re probably looking for His Majesty to plea for Bai Yu."
Gu Jue: "Bai Yu harboring a Star Thief is a serious crime. Even if he’s not sentenced to death, he’ll still face at least twenty years in prison."
Twenty years is indeed nothing for a Beastman.
But for Bai Yu, it’s different.
Because Bai Yu is involved in the entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry moves on too quickly. Never mind twenty years, even two years might be enough for someone to replace him as the top movie star.
Su Wan thought of the message Su Ni sent and said helplessly, "Su Ni, that idiot, actually thought they arrested Bai Yu to help him."
Gu Jue said nothing and lowered his head to play with Su Wan’s fingers.
Counting them one by one, over and over, as if he was handling some rare treasure.
The mere touch of fingers made Su Wan feel as if the temperature inside the vehicle was slowly rising.
And yet the person stirring the emotions acted clueless, "Wanwan, why is your face so red?"
Su Wan said speechlessly, "Stop it, the child is still here."
Gu Jue replied without a change in expression: "Xiaochen is asleep."
Su Wan turned her head to see her child, sitting in the child seat, covered with a small blanket, and then closing his eyes.
Huffing softly, he fell asleep instantly.
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, and she playfully hit Gu Jue.
"Ajue, you can’t always be like this. He is your own son, you should be nicer to him."
Gu Jue replied earnestly, "Of course I’ll be good to him. But when he’s set next to you, you will always be my first priority."
No, whenever anyone is set next to Wanwan, he always puts Wanwan first.
Su Wan’s heart was filled with both sweetness and helplessness.
Meanwhile, Little Gu Chen, pretending to sleep in the child seat, didn’t know whether to be happy that he had a place in his father’s heart,
Or to be unhappy that mom always came before him.
But such a complex issue was resolved by Little Gu Chen in just a second.
It was actually quite good this way.
After all, he also put mom first.
However, Commander Gu didn’t do anything aboard the spacecraft, just counted fingers seriously.
Su Wan didn’t know whether to be relieved or disappointed...
When they got home, Su Wan decided to go swimming in the pool, as usual. Today, while watching Xiaochen and Ruanruan swim, she had been itching to join!
This must be the instincts of a Beastman.
Little Gu Chen actually wanted to swim with mom today as well, but he was too tired from playing, and he also didn’t want mom to swim alone.
Then, as Gu Jue was taking him to the children’s room, the little guy stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of Gu Jue’s clothes.
His father looked at him with a cool gaze.
Wolf Clan child: "Daddy, swim swim, accompany mom."
Gu Jue paused for a moment, then a faint smile spread across his usually cool face when he understood his son’s meaning.
He reached out his hand and ruffled his son’s fluffy head.
"You’ve become sensible."
Little Gu Chen: "..."
With such a family, how could he not grow up sensible!
Su Wan had Gu Jue take their son to the children’s room mainly to give them father and son more time together.
She always felt, subconsciously, that children should spend more time with each of their parents.
Especially since Xiaochen’s Beast Transformation direction was similar to Ajue’s, they should communicate more.
Su Wan loved her husband and her son, so she hoped her husband would also love their son.
She went back to the room, took a shower, and then changed into a custom-made swimsuit before heading to the adjacent pool.
Because of her tail, Su Wan’s swimsuit was, of course, custom-made. It wasn’t hard to purchase, as many online stores cater to the needs of Beastmen.
Su Wan even secretly bought a few pieces of clothing suitable for Wolf Clan Beastmen to wear, cough cough, but she hadn’t had the courage to get Commander Gu to wear them yet.
She was waiting for the next time he called her "sister," then she would let him wear them!
Su Wan initially wanted to take her son swimming with her, but seeing him look sleepy, she knew the little guy was exhausted today.
It’s better to let her son rest.
Her pretty and fair legs, upon entering the water, turned into a beautiful golden fish tail.
With a light flick of the tail, ripples gently spread across the water.
Su Wan comfortably squinted her eyes, swimming a few laps in the pool, when suddenly she heard a loud splash.
Was Xiaochen coming to swim too?
But why was the sound of entering the water so much louder than before?
Su Wan popped her head above the water and just then caught sight of Commander Gu’s abdominal muscles! So many of them!
"Ajue?"
"Mmm."
Gu Jue swam around her, reaching out to touch the beautiful golden fish tail.
Su Wan felt a ticklish sensation in her tail and, unable to resist, splashed the water, accidentally spraying Gu Jue’s face.
Su Wan, "Ajue, I didn’t do it on purpose!"
Gu Jue wiped the water off his face, "It’s fine."
Su Wan, "Don’t you dislike swimming?"
She had only found this out not long ago. She had tried many times to persuade Gu Jue to swim with her but noticed his apparent reluctance.
Still, he agreed to her every time.
Just like now, Gu Jue was not displaying a look of enjoyment while swimming, but rather a serious face.
Yet he still doggedly accompanied Su Wan.
Su Wan, "Ajue, if you don’t like swimming, get out of the pool and watch me swim."
"It’s fine."
Gu Jue affectionately caressed the golden fish tail, swimming around her.
Su Wan puzzled, "Ajue, both you and Xiaochen are canine Beastmen; you shouldn’t be afraid of water, in theory, right?"
Gu Jue, "When I was a child, at the Beastman Nurturing Base, I had an accident."
"One day Star Thieves broke in. They shut off the valves in many of the infant pods in our area, causing a large volume of nutrient solution to flood in."
"At the time, several children drowned."
Beastmen represent the strongest military force of a planet and are also the existence that many dangerous elements most want to destroy.
The Beastmen babies who were in the same area as Gu Jue back then must have been very talented as well.
Even if not born Super S-class.
Su Wan listened, momentarily stunned, forgetting to move her tail.
She hugged Gu Jue from behind with sympathy.
"Ajue, what happened afterward?"
"Many of the staff at the Beastman Nurturing Base were also killed. Later, my imperial brother brought people in time, killed the Star Thieves, and saved me along with the other surviving children."
That incident happened more than thirty years ago. Because it was so cruel, news of it was suppressed.
Su Wan felt sorrow for all those innocent babies that had died.
She felt even more for Gu Jue, who had been through such an event.
"I’m sorry, Ajue, I shouldn’t have brought it up."
Gu Jue turned, gently enveloping his delicate wife in his arms, "It’s alright, it’s been so long since then. It’s just that every time I see water, I remember the feeling of nearly suffocating back then. Moreover, although I was young, I managed to break the infant pod and even saved a few children who were close by."
Su Wan’s voice trembled, "How old were you at the time?"
"About the same age as Xiaochen."
Su Wan hugged him tightly, "Those damn Star Thieves!"
She finally understood why people from all planets harbored such disgust and hatred towards the Star Thieves.
Not only did they occasionally rob passing universe spaceships, but they had also committed such outrageous acts!
Just at that moment, White Tiger flew in, flapping its small wings.
It didn’t really want to disturb its master and mistress during their intimate swimming moment.
But the message was quite urgent.
So, braving the tingling gaze of its master, White Tiger said, "Master, Li Rui has sent a message, William has named someone. And that person should know the whereabouts of Lucifer."
Gu Jue, "Who?"
White Tiger, "Du Weiwei."
