Chapter 302: Chapter 302: What to Do When the Manic-Depressive Husband Is Too Clingy
The two arrived at the spaceship’s huge glass window, where the vast universe and starry sky lay beyond.
Although Su Wan was no longer so afraid of snakes,
she still harbored some apprehension towards any sort of Beastman.
Moreover, she wasn’t very familiar with her junior, Bai Qi.
Su Wan maintained a certain distance from Bai Qi.
She asked, "Junior, may I ask what you want?"
Bai Qi replied, "I want to become the head of the Bai Family."
Su Wan’s gaze remained calm, "Talking to me about this matter is futile. Moreover, the Commander won’t bother with it, either."
Bai Qi looked up, his brooding youthful eyes utterly serious.
"Sister, my intention isn’t to use you to get the Commander’s help. Besides, given our current unfamiliar relationship, you have no reason to help me," he explained.
Su Wan retorted, "Exactly, making this an ineffective conversation."
"No," Bai Qi shook his head, then turned to gaze at the beautiful starry sky, softly saying, "I nearly got killed by Bai Nanxi twice."
Upon hearing the name Bai Nanxi, Su Wan’s expression changed slightly.
After all, during the previous incident at the cinema, Bai Nanxi tried to push both Su Wan and Xiaochen towards the Insect Clan.
Bai Qi continued, "Although she later claimed it was all unintentional, I know that she and those people like Duke Bai simply don’t care whether those of us from the lesser branches without backing live or die."
He lifted his head, looking at Su Wan, "Bai Nanxi is the type who seems innocent, but if she gets the chance, she would strike ruthlessly."
Su Wan looked at Bai Qi, "Do you know about what happened previously at the cinema?"
Bai Qi nodded, "I was selected to participate in the military academy competition, Duke Bai gave his usual speech, and as I was leaving the main family, I overheard Bai Nanxi talking with others."
"She said, she had already pushed you to the Insect Clan’s side, but you unexpectedly turned out to be quite capable."
Su Wan came to an understanding.
Bai Qi had his own ambitions.
He wanted to take over Duke Bai’s branch and become the head of the Bai main family.
Now, coming to Su Wan, he was also pledging his loyalty.
Thinking of Lucifer who had yet to reappear, she immediately asked, "Who was Bai Nanxi speaking to at that time?"
Bai Qi replied, "A man dressed in black clothes, but he was wearing a hat and glasses, and it was too far for me to see clearly."
Su Wan understood.
She said, "Do not harm the innocent. If you only aim to replace Duke Bai’s family, I support you."
The brooding youth’s eyes lit up, and his lips slightly curved upwards.
"Thank you, Sister!"
Su Wan cleared her throat, now almost allergic to the word ’Sister’.
She said, "However, my abilities are limited, so don’t expect the Commander to support you. You understand, right? If someone from a lesser branch wants to replace someone from the main family, you first need to demonstrate significant strength. Perform well in the upcoming competition."
"Yes, Sister!"
After parting ways with the brooding junior, Su Wan returned to her cabin and made a call to Gu Jue.
Gu Jue picked up quickly.
"Wanwan, did you miss me?" he teased.
During his Manic-Depressive Period, he was endearingly sweet, melting hearts.
Then, when he reverted to his usual cold Commander persona, his occasional romantic words were also hard to fend off.
Su Wan glanced at her companion quietly putting on headphones next to her.
She cleared her throat, "Ajue, about the thing where Bai Nanxi framed me in the cinema, it must have been orchestrated by someone else. She didn’t even know I was the Food God, so her hostility towards me shouldn’t have been that intense."
Logically speaking, even if Bai Nanxi disliked Su Wan,
as the wife of the Commander, Bai Nanxi should not have tried to push her towards the Insect Clan at the time.
If it was because she was concerned about her own brother.
Then she really shouldn’t have thought about framing Su Wan at that time!
She should have turned around, ingratiated herself with Su Wan, and protected Su Wan instead.
Gu Jue: "Yeah, I know, I’ve had someone keeping an eye on the Bai Family, but, we haven’t spotted any suspicious men in black."
Su Wan: "That person has probably left the Bai Family by now. What is Xiaochen doing?"
Gu Jue: "He’s teaching Ruanruan how to swim."
Su Wan suddenly felt a bit guilty.
She had inadvertently ignited her son’s boundless love for swimming.
And then the kid just dragged Ruanruan into swimming with him.
Heaven knows how much cats hate water!
Su Wan whispered: "I’ll have to make some extra tasty treats for Ruanruan later, this child has it tough."
At this moment, Vermilion Bird reminded her: "Master, the spaceship is about to perform a space jump, the signal will be temporarily interrupted."
Su Wan understood and planned to disconnect the communication with Gu Jue.
But Gu Jue didn’t immediately cut off communication and instead asked, "Sister, don’t you have anything else you want to say to me?"
Just what does it feel like to have a clingy husband?
And what about having a husband who can switch into a Manic-Depressive Period at any time?
In any case, Su Wan’s ears were burning hot as she carefully glanced at her roommate ’buddies’.
Seeing that her buddies were still listening to headphones and hadn’t noticed her, she felt somewhat relieved.
Su Wan whispered: "I miss you! I miss your wings, your fluffy ears, your soft and fluffy tail wrapped around my waist!"
Gu Jue: "..."
The spacecraft initiated the space jump.
The communication was temporarily cut off.
Su Wan hastily rushed to the adjacent washroom and splashed her face with cold water.
A few minutes later, the temperature of her face finally went down.
They were already an old married couple.
How could she still react so strongly?
And it was she who had been talking big, so why was she the one who ended up feeling the most embarrassed!
By the time Su Wan came out of the bathroom, the space jump had finished and the signal was back to normal.
Vermilion Bird: "Master, the male master has sent a message over, would you check it now?"
Su Wan nodded, opened the brain-computer interface, and clicked on the message from Gu Jue.
The message contained only two words.
Gu Jue: Wait for me.
Su Wan’s face, which had just cooled off, grew hot once again!!!
Su Wan didn’t look at the brain-computer interface again, and she calmed herself down before starting to check on Vermilion Bird, preparing for the upcoming competition.
After a while, Sheng An took off his headphones.
Su Wan: "Xiao’an, do you know about Bai Qi, the junior? I’ve noticed he doesn’t talk much; he seems a bit gloomy."
Sheng An: "I know a little. Bai Qi’s experiences are very much like Lele’s. My brother, Sheng Le."
"Although Bai Qi carries the Bai surname, when he was not yet born, his egg was cracked and he almost perished. After struggling to survive, he was born with a weak constitution."
"He’s luckier than Lele in that his biological parents didn’t abandon him. But the misfortune for Bai Qi is that the Bai Family’s Beastmen, who mostly transform into Charm Beasts, have a strong aversion to snake-type Beastmen like Bai Qi."
Sheng An looked up and added: "So from a young age, Bai Qi has always been bullied by Bai Nanxi and Bai Yu."
After hearing this, Su Wan suddenly understood why Bai Qi was so determined to replace Bai Nanxi’s branch and become the head of the main family.
At that moment, Sheng An added another piece of information, "Oh right, the snake species that Bai Qi transforms into is said to be poisonous."
Su Wan: "..."
