Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Kiss and Run?
"I also have Lingzhi, oh right, I have Cordyceps too..."
Upon hearing this, Su Wan’s eyes suddenly shone brighter and brighter!
Yin Yue swayed her wine glass and walked out, addressing Gu Jue who was sitting on the sofa, "Your wife really is a magical little girl."
She has such a high Beast Transformation Level, and she can even wield Spatial Superpowers.
In the entire Universe Alliance, she’s a very powerful Beastman.
But she’s so delicate and sweet.
She can cook, and she’s interested in medical matters too.
She seems like an indefatigable little sun; anyone who spends time with her feels very comfortable.
With a sense of wonder, Yin Yue remarked, "I finally understand why so many people, oh no, even now there are many who pursue you, yet you fell head over heels for this little girl."
If she were a man.
She would fall too!
Gu Jue’s lips curved slightly upward, and taking his wine glass, he approached his little wife who was lost in the world of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Wanwan, try some of this wine, it’s pretty good."
"Oh, is it?"
Su Wan directly took Gu Jue’s wine glass, took a small sip, and narrowed her eyes.
"Not bad, it kind of has the taste of wine from Ancient Earth. Oh, Ajue, when we have time later, I’ll brew some wine for you."
Looking at his little wife’s sparkling eyes, Gu Jue’s lips curved into a smile.
"Sure."
In the distance, Yin Yue was pouring wine for Li Rui, who drank it expressionlessly.
Yin Yue: "After drinking so much, don’t you feel a bit drunk?"
Li Rui shook his head: "No."
Yin Yue, frustrated, kept pouring him wine.
And then cup after cup after cup.
Yin Yue got drunk before him...
Meanwhile, Gu Jue and Su Wan returned to their place. After taking a bath and drinking wine, Su Wan went to swim in the huge basin in the washroom.
After all, how could the guest quarters of the Mermaid Planet Palace lack a swimming pool?
Su Wan swam comfortably for a few laps, then rested at the edge of the pool, watching Gu Jue who was sitting on the lounger.
"Ajue, this pool is really nice, a bit bigger than the one at our home."
"Hmm, we can expand the one at home when we get back."
"Sure, I used to swim with Xiaochen befo..."
As Su Wan spoke, she suddenly stopped, blinking as the droplets on her eyelashes also jumped.
"Oh no! Ajue, we forgot about Little Gu Chen!"
Su Wan remembered, the little guy had been so looking forward to this trip.
But he got tired from playing, fell asleep, and then something happened on Mermaid Planet.
At that time, Su Wan had asked Luo Ji to help take Little Gu Chen back to the Imperial Palace.
But...
She hurriedly got out of the pool, wrapping herself in a towel.
"No wonder last night, when I tried to communicate with him, Luo Manya said he had already gone to sleep."
That doesn’t sound like he went to sleep; it’s clear he was angry!
The little guy was angry; he needed to be coaxed!
Gu Jue, however, picked up a towel and started drying his little wife’s hair, speaking casually, "It’s fine, and it’s not like we deliberately left him out."
Although, Gu Jue indeed wasn’t very keen on bringing the youngster along.
How nice it was to be alone with his little wife.
But Su Wan was slightly uneasy, saying, "I’ll ask Luo Manya how Xiaochen is doing."
She made a call through the projection communicator, and after a while, Luo Manya answered.
Eagerly, Su Wan said, "Manya, how is Xiaochen doing?"
Luo Manya replied with a wry smile, "Just now he was here playing chess with Ruanruan. The moment he heard your call, he immediately went back to his room."
Su Wan sighed, "It’s not that we deliberately didn’t bring him. The main issue is that something sudden happened on the Mermaid Planet. It’s very dangerous, and a lot of people have died."
Upon hearing this, Luo Manya spotted a little guy hiding at the doorway, his fuzzy wolf ears trembling slightly.
Though he was huffy,
he was still very concerned about the safety of his mom and dad.
Such a cute little cub.
Luo Manya deliberately said loudly, "What? Many people died over there? Little auntie, are you and uncle alright?"
As soon as Little Gu Chen heard this, where could he care about being angry anymore!
He dashed over from the doorway to the projection and asked anxiously, "Mommy, are you hurt? Are you okay?"
Seeing his worried little face, Su Wan’s heart had already melted.
She spoke with tender eyes, "I’m not hurt, but it was a close call. Xiaochen, we didn’t intentionally leave you behind. It’s really dangerous here. Don’t worry, once the danger is over, Mommy will definitely take you on a trip. Hasn’t Mommy always kept her promises to you?"
Little Gu Chen couldn’t care less about the trip now, he said softly, "Let’s talk about the trip later; it’s dangerous there. You guys come home quickly, I miss you..."
"Mm, we’ll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest. You stay in the Imperial Palace and be good, okay?"
The little wolf-eared baby nodded vigorously, "I’ll be a good boy. Mommy, you guys come back early!"
"Mm."
After ending the projection, Su Wan finally took a deep breath.
She leaned into Gu Jue’s embrace.
"Sometimes, I feel that Xiaochen is just too sensible, and the more sensible the child, the more it hurts one’s heart."
Gu Jue held her fingers in silence.
"Ajue, what do you think the mermaids will choose?"
"They will express their own opinions."
"Queen Gaia anticipated this as well, which is why in her letter, she advised me to be kind to a portion of the good Mermaid Clan, to treat them like family."
Truth be told, Su Wan really admired Gaia.
But Gu Jue didn’t like that his little darling’s attention was always on someone else. He stretched out his hand to hold her face.
Su Wan was forced to look up, and catching sight of his Adam’s apple, she moved her brow and kissed it.
Gu Jue’s eyes darkened as he watched her.
However, Su Wan smiled, deftly jumped out of his arms, and with a splash, dived back into the pool, causing ripples to spread.
Gu Jue touched his throat, his lips curling up into a smile that seemed somewhat dangerous.
"Kissing and running away?"
Su Wan’s smile shimmered, "Mm, that’s how wicked I am. If Commander wants to take revenge, you’ll have to come into the water to punish me."
Gu Jue narrowed his eyes, his gaze slowly becoming that of a wild beast’s, as if he had his prey in his sights.
Splash.
The wolf was off to catch the fish!
...
**
The high-ranking officials of Mermaid Planet had been in meetings for two days and nights.
Su Wan did not attend the later meetings, but even without attending, she and Gu Jue could roughly guess the outcome...
As expected, Lan Ruochen came to them with an exhausted face. He said, "Some of us agree to join the Federal Empire, but some... have decided to stay, not wanting to leave Mermaid Planet."
Su Wan looked out at the bustling scene outside the window.
She said, "I can understand them. This beautiful place, for sure, no one would want to leave. But, haven’t they thought about the dangers that could come?"
Lan Ruochen shook his head with a bitter smile, "Some people have lived in comfort for too long to embrace change."
It was an inevitable matter.
And now, whatever happened in the future,
they would all be responsible for their own choices!
And so, Mermaid Planet began to divide, with some starting to pack their belongings, leaving for the Federal Empire in batches!
After one day, Su Wan and Gu Jue also went home.
First, they went to the Imperial Palace to pick up Little Gu Chen and bring him home.
