Chapter 294: Chapter 294: The Commander is very ’protective of his food
Su Wan had always been powerless against the milky whines of Ajue.
Moreover, when she thought about the hardships Ajue faced as a child, her heart ached even more!
Instantly, she forgot all about why her son was tired from the day’s activities.
As she comforted him, his large wings came out as well.
Then, neither of them had any appetite for dinner...
When it was past midnight and Su Wan was so hungry her stomach was in knots, she opened her eyes to find Gu Jue holding a bowl of longan, red date, and red bean porridge.
The porridge was emitting a sweet, warm aroma, and Su Wan, already hungry, just took it and began to eat.
After drinking half a bowl, she lifted her head and saw Gu Jue sitting at the edge of the bed.
Su Wan, "Ajue, aren’t you eating? Did the household robot make anything else?"
Gu Jue, "I’ve already eaten. This porridge was cooked by me for you. Although I’m not very good at it, I hope sister likes it."
Su Wan was stunned.
This porridge was specially cooked by Ajue for her?
"Ajue! You’re too kind!"
Although, admittedly, the porridge seemed a bit overdone.
But thinking about the love that went into it, Su Wan immediately felt it was the most delicious porridge in the world!
Seeing her enjoyment, the fuzzy dog ears on Gu Jue’s head shook with pride.
He said, "You’ve always been the one cooking because you make it delicious, and I’ve been happy to just eat. But, in reality, cooking is not a simple task. Just making a pot of porridge feels more complicated than researching mecha."
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh, "Making porridge is actually quite simple, but I’m glad you see it this way."
For instance, in a family, when one person gives a lot,
If their spouse understands and appreciates their hard work, and also strives to share the burden in other areas, that’s the right approach.
Both people should contribute and work together to maintain the family; that’s the secret to happiness.
Whether it’s one person or the other, if they only give without receiving, they will eventually feel somewhat unbalanced.
And if the other person consistently takes for granted their partner’s contributions,
Over time, they may start to overlook their partner’s dedication.
It is from there that fissures can begin to form.
Although neither Su Wan nor Gu Jue had experience in managing a household,
Both of them were making an effort, being good to each other, and always considering the other’s well-being.
In Su Wan’s opinion, this was very good.
Su Wan dutifully finished the overcooked porridge.
Leaning into Gu Jue’s embrace, she said, "Ajue, I feel so happy."
Gu Jue hugged her tight, "I feel so happy too."
In the nearby children’s room, the wolf-eared baby slept soundly, snuffling happily in his dreams.
Before, he had thought his mommy loved him very much and was always nice to him.
His daddy was cold and strict, not giving him hugs and kisses, surely that meant he didn’t like him.
But today, daddy had played with him for a good part of the day, and when he was busy, he made sure someone was there to keep him company and even let him have grilled octopus legs.
And he also took him to play in a place with lots of big mechas!
In his dreams, the wolf-eared baby happily embraced his large tail.
Daddy loves him just like mommy!
So nice!

The next day, Gu Jue still took Little Gu Chen to the military base.
Su Wan learned that Eric and Li Rui had kept Xiaochen company for a long while yesterday.
She felt a bit bad about it, so early in the morning, she made some meat pies.
"Ajue, these treats, take them for your aides. They kept Xiaochen company while you were busy, it’s tough on them."
Once Gu Jue put on his military uniform, he transformed into the aloof Commander.
He said indifferently, "It’s just playing with a kid, not sending them to war. It’s not hard at all, no need to bring them food!"
What a joke, he hadn’t had enough of the delicious food his wife made.
Why should he share it with them?
Su Wan looked at Commander Gu practicing this sort of ’food guarding’ behavior and was caught between laughter and tears.
She said, "I made a lot, you can eat whenever you want. They might be your subordinates and admire you a lot, but sometimes, you also need to be good to them."
From a leadership perspective, one must be both kind and strict.
From the viewpoint of friends who have spent a great deal of time together, even if it’s a superior-subordinate relationship, you can’t always be so cold to them, right?
Gu Jue actually didn’t care much about this, but he didn’t want to contradict his sweet wife’s words.
As for the meat pies... he would just have to suffer and let that group of guys have some.
After all, remembering yesterday, how Eric got zapped by Xiaochen, his hair standing up like a sea urchin.
A golden big sea urchin, which hadn’t subsided all day.
Thinking about it that way, helping to take care of the child was quite draining on his subordinates.
In the end, Gu Jue reluctantly agreed.
Holding his son in one hand, he had White Tiger bring a large meal box filled with meat pies.
When he arrived at the military base with Xiaochen,
Eric’s legs gave out at the sight!
He silently hid behind Li Rui, whispering, "You deal with the little master today, if I have to stay with him another day, I’m definitely done for!"
To this day, a lock of his hair still wouldn’t lie flat!
Li Rui was speechless, "Don’t provoke the kid, and he won’t shock you."
Eric whined pitifully, "But he’s so cute, how could you resist teasing him? I can’t control my itchy hands!"
Li Rui was speechless again.
If your hands are that itchy, who can you blame?
At this point, Gu Jue walked over with his son, his gaze sweeping across the scene.
Eric shrank back behind Li Rui once more.
Gu Jue spoke in an indifferent tone, "White Tiger, bring the meat pies here."
Eric peeked out from behind Li Rui: Meat pies?
Gu Jue continued, "My wife made these. She said to thank you for helping take care of Xiaochen."
Eric’s eyes lit up, and he immediately darted out from behind Li Rui!
Approaching Little Gu Chen with a big smile, he said, "Commander’s wife is really too polite, keeping Xiaochen company is our duty, no need for any thanks, you’re being too formal!"
Although he approached Xiaochen, his eyes were fixed greedily on the large food box.
Gu Jue’s face remained calm, "Eric, I have a meeting this morning, I would appreciate if you could help look after Xiaochen for a bit."
"Absolutely no problem!"
Gu Jue gave some instructions before turning to attend to official business.
Eric pushed Xiaochen’s little buggy with one hand, while placing a steaming hot meat pie into his mouth with the other.
Li Rui shook his head helplessly.
What happened to being done for? How about not being able to control your itchy hands?
Meanwhile, Gu Jue continued to deal with matters concerning the Deep Blue Cinema and followed up on the investigation of the virtual technology.
Just as Su Wan was heading toward the classroom, she was blocked by someone.
It was Huo Yichang, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
Su Wan frowned slightly and turned to leave, but Huo Yichang stretched out his hand, attempting to stop her.
Su Wan reflexively grabbed his wrist and neatly threw him over her shoulder.
Crash.
Huo Yichang was thrown to the ground and it took him a while to come back to his senses as he puzzledly looked up at the sky.
Only when he realized Su Wan was leaving did he call out anxiously, "Xiaowan, I have something important to tell you!"
Su Wan didn’t stop for a second.
By coincidence, Lin Yu and Sheng An were walking toward Su Wan from the opposite direction.
Seeing this, Huo Yichang shouted, "Xiaowan! If you don’t want to talk to me that’s fine, but your friend here, this Lin Yu, he has ulterior motives toward you!"
