Chapter 289: Chapter 289: The Kid Became Daddy’s Leg Accessory
"It’s okay, no injuries. Just that... Ajue, it seems your son electrified Lucifer’s octopus leg and took a few bites. I was a bit worried he might get sick, so I especially asked Ouyang Qing to check on him. She said the child is fine, and only then was I relieved."
Gu Jue’s gaze lingered on his petite wife, making sure in person that she really wasn’t hurt.
As for his son... tough-skinned and thick-fleshed, he definitely wouldn’t get hurt either.
If there were any minor injuries, they would surely heal quickly.
Gu Jue, "Eating it is fine, if Xiaochen likes it, I can bring him more when I come back."
Su Wan’s heart trembled, "Bring more of what?"
Gu Jue, "The Ian I captured is Lucifer’s cousin and also an Octopus Beastman."
The wolf-eared baby swimming in the water instantly understood his daddy’s words!
His eyes lit up as he looked at the projection and enthusiastically shouted, "Daddy! Miss you! Daddy!"
Su Wan, "..."
How had she never noticed before that her son had a hidden little foodie trait?
Su Wan, "Octopus legs and the like are not important, Ajue, have you finished up over there?"
Gu Jue, "I’ve handled things here and am on my way back."
Su Wan nodded, giving a few more instructions.
Gu Jue was about to inquire about the progress of the investigation at the security bureau, so she cut off the communication.
Turning around, she saw the wolf-eared baby looking unhappy, belly up, floating on the water’s surface.
The little wolf emitted a vibe of ’I’m not happy, mommy doesn’t love me, I feel wronged, but I won’t say it’ stubbornness.
Su Wan couldn’t help but both cry and laugh.
Stepping out of the pool, her legs reformed from her tail, she wrapped herself in clothes and walked out.
As she walked, she said, "Suddenly feel like eating octopus balls today, wonder if there’s any fresh octopus in the fridge."
Vermilion Bird, "Master, I’ve scanned it, there is fresh octopus in the kitchen."
"Great, then there will be something to eat soon, super delicious octopus balls."
The wolf-eared baby, who was looking dejected just moments ago, perked up in an instant!
He immediately scrambled out of the pool using his limbs and then climbed next to Su Wan, hugging her thigh.
"Mommy, balls! Balls!"
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh, "Can’t you say it separately? Otherwise, I might think you want fish balls, you little glutton!"
She pinched the wolf-eared baby’s little nose; the little guy squinted his eyes, smiling very happily.
After Su Wan got herself and her child dressed, she went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Su Wan believed cooking was a very enjoyable task.
Especially when cooking for the family she loved.
However, back on Ancient Earth, Su Wan didn’t quite like cleaning the kitchen, like washing dishes and the like.
Fortunately, she now had a housework robot that could take over these chores.
Even if she turned the kitchen into a mess while cooking.
The housework robot would tidy it up in no time, neat and spotless.
Today, besides octopus balls, Su Wan also made teppanyaki octopus.
After all, it seems Xiaochen liked that flavor more.
Because he was waiting to eat something delicious, little Xiaochen was in the living room outside the kitchen.
Playing with a robotic dog while craning his neck to look toward the kitchen.
HIs whole demeanor showing what it meant to be physically in the living room but with one’s heart and stomach in the kitchen.
When Gu Jue arrived back home, dust-stained and weary, he saw this endearing scene.
The air was filled with a tantalizing aroma that greatly stimulated the taste buds.
Actually, he should have first gone to the Imperial Palace, the military headquarters, or the security bureau to report the results of the operation.
Then, he had to visit the Security Bureau to look into the investigation results of the Deep Blue Cinema incident.
But, he still wanted to go home first to see his little lovely wife.
Even though he knew that both mother and child were very safe, Commander Gu still wanted to see for himself.
Little Gu Chen immediately sensed his father’s presence.
He lifted his head, sat in the small transport cart, and instantly came to his father’s side.
He stretched out his little hand and embraced his father’s leg very accurately!
Gu Jue: "..."
Little Gu Chen: "Daddy! Leggy!"
Su Wan heard the voice, turned her head with a smile and said, "Ajue, who told you to say just now in the projection that you would bring octopus legs back for Xiaochen? This child’s memory is really good."
Gu Jue’s mouth twitched as he glanced at the ornaments on his legs.
He reached out to pick up his son and lifted the child by his arms, "Daddy hasn’t gone to get the octopus legs yet, he came home first to see you and your mom, to make sure you are both alright, then I’ll go get you the octopus legs."
"Mmm mmm."
Gu Jue casually placed his son on his shoulders, and the little one held onto his father’s head.
Suddenly feeling taller and having a wider view, he joyfully howled and roared!
Su Wan: "..."
Alright, Beastmen, once grown up, do retain some reserve, but it’s different when they’re young.
They really eat whenever they want to eat, and howl whenever they feel like howling.
Suddenly Su Wan thought, if Ajue hadn’t grown up in the Beastman Breeding Center since he was small,
would he have been as unrestrained as Xiaochen?
Today is another day of feeling heartache for Ajue.
Su Wan, with the help of the robot, hurried to set the table with the food she had prepared.
While doing so, she asked, "Ajue, do you have to go out again later?"
Gu Jue nodded, "I’ve just contacted the head of the Security Bureau, the Deep Blue Cinema has been sealed off, and Nick’s company has already dispatched people to take control."
Su Wan: "Did they catch Lucifer?"
Gu Jue: "They said they turned the whole cinema upside down but didn’t find any sign of Lucifer. Apart from you, they only saw the giant octopus, so they can’t confirm that the person was indeed Lucifer."
Su Wan: "Although I was at a bit of distance at the time, and I was about to be transported away from the movie scene right then, I am sure that the man who appeared by the seashore was indeed very similar to the image of Lucifer from the records."
Gu Jue, with downcast eyes, "I’m sorry, I should have been with you today."
"It’s not your fault. Who knew that the Star Thief Leader had so many disguises? Besides, all things considered, we didn’t lose out."
Su Wan was referring to the piece of the octopus leg that had been gnawed on by Xiaochen.
If that octopus wasn’t Lucifer, then it’s okay.
If it really had been him... he’d probably be fuming right now.
Su Wan’s guess was not wrong; at that moment, in a dark and damp place, a bewitchingly handsome man, with earrings on his left ear glinting coldly,
had two men by his side who hardly dared to breathe.
After a long while, the older one finally spoke up, "Boss, maybe you should leave the main star. With the exposure of the Deep Blue Cinema, even that old geezer Gu Tao is struggling to protect himself."
"Leaving just like this, I can’t accept it."
"What?"
Lucifer, with half-closed eyes, focused his gaze on his injured tentacle, a cold light shimmering at the bottom of his eyes.
He had prepared a big surprise for Gu Jue this time, and it all went to waste again!
Su Wan, I really underestimated you! If I had known you were so capable, I would’ve made sure you never woke up while you were still lying in that healing pod!
