Chapter 380: Chapter 380: The Baby Wolf with Small Ears Is Not Considered a Man
Agros really wanted to say no.
And to throw this little mermaid miss out.
But years of gentlemanly upbringing made it impossible for him to do such a thing.
Agros nodded indifferently.
Then he put on his military cap and turned to leave.
He had planned to join Pandora and the others so he could talk about the starship mission.
But now it seemed...
He’d better go back to work at the military department.
Bai Qianqian was startled and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
Of course, Agros ignored her.
Bai Qianqian stamped her foot and chased after him.
But Lan Rui had no interest in them, because she saw Su Wan in the crowd.
The air was filled with a rich aroma.
It was definitely Su Wan making something delicious for everyone!
So she immediately turned and pounced toward the barbecue stand!
"Su Wan, what delicious food are you making? It looks really tasty!"
"If I say it’s not tasty, will you not eat it?"
Lan Rui pouted, "Don’t be like that, we’re still relatives after all."
Su Wan laughed, "Since when did we become relatives?"
There’s no blood relation between the Punei Family and the Lan Family.
Lan Rui had an embarrassed expression, "Well, I almost became your sister-in-law."
"Heh."
Seeing Su Wan’s half-smiling expression, Lan Rui didn’t dare to continue.
She knew about the not-so-good relationship between Su Wan and Su Yun.
Not daring to say more, Lan Rui happily went to snatch some skewers to eat.
Su Wan indeed felt it would be impolite to ask her to leave.
And the host, Pandora, definitely wasn’t that type of person.
But Luo Jina didn’t care; seeing Lan Rui grabbing skewers, she huffed coldly.
"Listen you fish, keep your distance from the stove. Be careful, or you might end up grilled too!"
Lan Rui smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, I’m a Beastman. I’m much nimbler than you! Even if it reaches you, it won’t get to me. Be careful, or your red hair might get singed by the fire."
Watching Luo Jina’s face change color.
Lan Rui said in a very deserving-of-a-beating way, "Are you angry? But you can’t beat me."
Luo Jina, "Yes, I can’t beat you alone, but I can call my husband. Do you have a husband?"
Lan Rui, "..."
Watching the two of them bicker childishly, Su Wan shook her head helplessly.
She turned around and placed some of the cooked skewers on a plate.
Then she took them to her son, who was playing with toys nearby.
"Xiaochen, are you hungry?"
After all, the Punei Family estate was very safe, so the child was alone at home.
So Su Wan brought her son along.
Then Little Gu Chen, holding a skewer, curiously said, "Mommy, I heard there’s grilled fish? I want to eat that!"
The two who had been arguing stopped abruptly.
Lan Rui, "..."
Luo Jina, "Hahahaha!"
After a while of commotion, Bai Qianqian returned.
The young girl was biting her lip, looking very frustrated.
There was a mist in her eyes that made it obvious she had cried. She touched the corner of her eye and sat down with a plop when she arrived.
Luo Jina nudged Lan Rui, who was busy grabbing skewers, "Your cousin is crying, aren’t you going to console her?"
Lan Rui said nonchalantly, "If a man made her cry, it should be a man who consoles her."
There were only three men present at the scene.
Alex didn’t count; his eyes were only for his wife, Luo Jina, right now.
Lin Yu always appeared calm and composed.
Except for the incident with Su Wan at the beginning, he had never seemed interested in any female classmate ever again.
And then there was the younger student, Bai Qi.
Well, as a snake Beastman, he was much colder than Lin Yu.
Because he hated fire, he stayed far away from the barbecue grill.
Oh, there was also Little Gu Chen, but the little wolf-eared baby was too young to be considered a man.
Bai Qianqian probably had many admirers on Mermaid Planet, being a young lady who was doted on by numerous men.
In terms of looks, she leaned towards a sweet and delicate charm.
She actually had even more suitors than Lan Rui!
However, Bai Qianqian was young, having just reached adulthood, with high standards, and had never found a spouse she liked on Mermaid Planet.
This time, she followed the majority of her people and migrated to the Federal Empire.
And then, she fell in love with the handsome Agros at first sight!
But after pursuing him for a long time, there was still no sign that he might be interested.
The poor girl was just recently hurt by Agros’s indifference.
Now she sat there whimpering, and even the skewers her cousin passed to her didn’t seem tasty... ah, wait, aren’t these skewers quite delicious?
Then, the little girl turned her sorrow into an appetite!
Seeing that her cousin was fine, Lan Rui moved closer to Su Wan again.
She curiously looked at the adorable wolf-eared cutie, then said to Su Wan, "Su Wan, are you really no longer in contact with Su Yun?"
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"I heard that he also participated in the Royal Starship Fleet’s assessment and joined the Seventh Starship Fleet."
Su Wan indeed knew that Su Yun had some ability, and his talent was not bad.
If he was willing to work hard, his future development would be very promising.
She just didn’t know whether he was intent on taking shortcuts now.
Spending the last two years at the Mecha Center might have led to the neglect of Su Yun’s Mecha Combat Technique.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have chosen the Seventh Starship Fleet.
Su Xiaoge, who had always been training on the front line at the Security Bureau, had joined the Elite First Starship Fleet led by Li Rui!
That was also considered an elite fleet within the entire Royal Star Fleet, aside from the main fleet!
Lan Rui didn’t realize that Su Wan’s mind had already wandered elsewhere.
She struggled for a moment before whispering softly, "About what happened before, I actually owe an apology to Su Yun."
Using Su Yun to get close to Su Wan, to deal with Su Wan.
Then having Su Yun’s child, but directly opting for an abortion.
These things were indeed Lan Rui’s fault.
Of course, at the beginning, Su Yun also used Lan Rui.
Su Wan was very composed, "This is something between the two of you, you should talk it out yourselves."
Lan Rui was incredibly downcast, "But now, he doesn’t even pay any attention to me."
She laughed at herself, "Is it because I’m no longer the Mermaid Princess?"
Although Lan Rui was no longer the Mermaid Princess, she still retained her noble status.
In terms of status, she was actually much higher than Su Yun.
Of course, perhaps Su Yun was hurt by Lan Rui having an abortion?
And now he wanted nothing to do with her?
That was also a possibility.
Su Wan did not respond to her.
Because all these matters were none of her business, let alone the fact that it was a matter of the heart.
The matters of the heart for anyone are best resolved by the individuals involved.
Bystanders genuinely have no right to meddle.
Lan Rui probably understood Su Wan’s attitude.
But recalling how she had been rebuffed by Su Yun when she tried to approach him recently,
she said with a bitter smile, "Initially, I wanted to use him to get close to you, then to pursue Commander Gu, but I failed. Now, I’m trying to use you to get close to him, but that’s not successful either. I really am a failure."
Lan Rui looked towards Little Gu Chen, who was playing not far away.
Her expression was incredibly desolate.
