Chapter 282: Chapter 282: You Haven’t Looked at My Wings in a Long Time
Su Wan nodded obediently, and moreover, she planned to spend her time mostly at home with Xiaochen, except for the visits to her mother.
After school started, she probably wouldn’t have as much time to spend with her little treasure.
In the meantime, the couple Ouyang Qing came over for a check-up on Su Wan’s health.
They had first gone to Lin Ranyue’s house to conduct a thorough check-up on the egg.
Only after confirming that the child was really unharmed, did Lin Ranyue finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, because of the past loss, Lin Ranyue was now alternating between hope and fear, and she had to sleep hugging the egg at night.
This also led to Commander Gu temporarily falling out of favor.
The ’out of favor’ Commander Gu wouldn’t vent his anger on his wife or take it out on his daughter.
But he had his anger, and he couldn’t just keep it bottled up.
So, he would go to the military department to ’pay a visit’ to Su Zhen, who was still being detained without a sentence.
After all, it wasn’t like it would result in a fatality, simple injuries could be treated with a little time in a med-pod.
The staff in charge at the military department would turn a blind eye.
Su Zhen really suffered then!
By the time Eric came for the interrogation, Su Zhen said with tears and snot running down his face, "Commander, whatever you ask, I’ll definitely tell everything I know, just hurry up and sentence me, I want to go to the Interstellar Prison!"
Eric’s mouth twitched.
Commander Gu was really ruthless.
Just look, what state did he scare the man into?
Su Wan learned about this matter after some time and suddenly didn’t know what to feel.
All she could say was that Su Zhen’s current outcome was of his own making.
Su Ni actually made a phone call to Su Wan, begging her to plead for their father, Su Zhen.
"Xiaowan, please speak to the Commander for me, no matter what, Father did not collude with the Star Thieves, it’s not an unforgivable crime, perhaps it’s better not to sentence him," he said.
Su Wan: "He almost killed Mother’s child. Isn’t that an unforgivable act? If he hadn’t let the wolf into the house, would that group of Star Thieves have had the chance to harm anyone?"
Su Ni: "Ah, I know, Dad really did wrong in this matter. But he’s just so pitiable now."
Su Zhen was indeed extremely pitiable at the moment.
He had nothing left, betrayed and abandoned by all.
But those who are worthy of pity also have aspects worthy of contempt.
Su Wan: "He walked down this road step by step on his own; nobody forced him. We, a family of five, were so good together, but he had to go and cater to his first love and her daughter, ruining our whole family! Do you know, when Su Zhen and Du Weiwei were captured, the two were fighting each other."
"Moreover, whether to plead for him isn’t up to me. You’ll have to see if Mother is willing to forgive Su Zhen."
Su Ni realized he couldn’t get anywhere with his sister,
and went to contact Lin Ranyue.
But Cecilia stopped him.
Cecilia scoffed: "Do you want to completely chill your mother’s heart towards you? It was because they arrived just in time to save the child. Otherwise, your little sister might have never been able to open her eyes to this world."
"Everyone must take responsibility for the wrongs they have done. If he doesn’t face punishment this time, he might commit the same mistake again."
After finishing her point, Cecilia gave Su Ni a kick, "Hurry up and go do your makeup, and try to finish shooting this film in the next few days. Take advantage of Bai Yu going in, if you don’t seize the chance to reclaim resources, new talents will emerge and take everything away."
The entertainment industry, though glittery on the surface, is a highly competitive place.
Realizing this, Su Ni rubbed his legs and said, "Right, I forgot to ask Xiaowan just now. How many years will Bai Yu be sentenced to?"
"Being connected to the Star Thieves, he won’t get off lightly."
In this period, various planets have also been capturing the remnants of the fleeing Star Thieves within their domains.
Anyone who harbored the Star Thieves would also face severe punishment.
Once Lucifer is captured, the entire Universe Alliance will enjoy a lengthy period of peace in the future.

Time flew by, and before we knew it, a new batch of freshmen was about to join Empire University.
Su Wan and the others had already been promoted to being upperclassmen.
Two days before the start of the semester, Luo Jina made a special announcement in their little group chat.
Luo Jina: I’ve got movie tickets again, and it’s from that writer Mute, called Deserted Island Survival.
Luo Jina: Do you guys want to go have some fun?
Su Wan: Is it another Ancient Earth theme?
Luo Jina: Yeah, at first I thought it was about surviving on Barren Star, but then I looked and realized it’s about a deserted island.
Luo Jina: It’s about a boat facing danger and sinking, then everyone ends up on a deserted island and encounters many strange and bizarre things.
Sheng An: Is it similar to the last theme?
Luo Jina: It shouldn’t be as terrifying as the last one, because the author said a phrase, "Sometimes, the human heart is more terrifying than anything else."
Luo Jina: Oh, by the way, Xiaowan, your brother Su Ni stars in this play!
Su Wan: ...
Suddenly, I don’t feel like watching it anymore.
Su Wan still remembered what Gu Jue had told her; she didn’t immediately reply to her friends but messaged Gu Jue first.
Gu Jue: Tomorrow? I happen to be free. Let’s bring Xiaochen and go together.
Su Wan happily relayed this to her friends.
Luo Jina: ...
Luo Jina: I’ll just give you guys a family ticket! Being around the Commander really is too much pressure!
Alex: I second that.
Sheng An: I second that.
Lin Yu: I second that.
Su Wan: ╭(╯^╰)╮
Even though this meant paying more attention to her boyfriend and less to her friends, Su Wan felt no psychological pressure at all.
She knew her friends would understand.
Those who didn’t would understand once they had a partner!
Moreover, this was the first time she, Gu Jue, and Xiaochen would be going out as a family of three, and Su Wan had made many preparations, even choosing what clothes they would all wear tomorrow!
Would wearing matching family outfits be too ostentatious? Maybe, Ajue wouldn’t wear them?
That evening, Commander Gu got washed up and dressed in his soft loungewear quite early and leaned back against the headboard of his bed.
He waited a long time, but his little wife didn’t come to join him.
Lately, Little Gu Chen was having the time of his life with the unique stroller his dad had handcrafted for him and wasn’t clinging to his mom as much.
Eventually, Gu Jue could sit still no longer and went to the adjoining walk-in closet, where he found his little wife rummaging through clothes.
A piece of clothing flew over and landed right at Gu Jue’s feet.
It was a garment suitable for Beastmen, with a very light fabric and special decorations for the transformed parts.
Commander Gu: "..."
When Su Wan heard the noise, she turned around.
She saw exactly what Gu Jue was holding, the special clothing that—in a moment of impulse—she had purchased not long ago...
Su Wan’s face flushed with heat!
She tried to conjure up a smile, "Ah, Ajue, what brings you here?"
Gu Jue leaned against the doorway of the walk-in closet, a backlight casting his figure. Two buttons of his loungewear were undone, presenting an image that was benign yet captivating.
"Sister, wasn’t it you who said we’d look at my wings tonight?"
