Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Forgot the Wolf-Eared Baby Again!
Luo Jina gnawed on a skewer of meat while saying, "You’re just a loser."
Lan Rui didn’t speak.
However, sitting not far away, Bai Qianqian ate her spicy skewers, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, "None of you should fight with me for that title! I’m the real loser here!"
Everyone: "..."
Oh, they weren’t competing.
It’s all yours.
Su Wan was thinking that, after all, she was a guest at the Punei family home.
She needed to go and greet the elders of the host family.
So she made some extra dishes and let Pandora take them to her family to enjoy.
The chores could be handled by a housekeeping robot, but as the wife of a commander, Su Wan still needed to make a trip to the front yard.
She asked Luo Jina to help look after Little Gu Chen and followed Pandora to the front hall.
Just as she reached the front hall, Su Wan saw members of the Punei family speaking apprehensively with a person.
That person sat in the place of honor, dressed in a crisp military uniform, his handsome face wearing an accustomed look of aloofness and indifference.
However, the moment he saw Su Wan, all the ice and snow seemed to instantly melt away.
Who else could it be but Gu Jue!
Gu Jue stood up and walked straight towards his petite wife Su Wan, bypassing the clueless Punei family members.
Su Wan said happily, "Ajue, how did you get here?"
Gu Jue took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"I just got back for a bit, and after I was done with work at the military base, I remembered you were here and came to take you home."
Members of the Punei family were standing right there!
Su Wan felt a bit embarrassed, took the handkerchief from him, and held it in her hands as she turned to Pandora and said, "Pandora, I’m going to head home first. You guys have fun."
What else could Pandora do?
She could only nod in agreement.
Then the members of the Punei family watched the commander and his wife leave with complex expressions on their faces.
Gu Jue and Su Wan got onto the aircraft.
The two immediately embraced each other!
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Snuggled in his arms, Su Wan said, "Ajue, I’ve missed you so much."
"Me too."
Gu Jue kissed his petite wife tenderly, then smelling the various fragrances in her hair.
He asked, "Have you been grilling cumin beef?"
Su Wan was startled, then said with a wry smile, "Ah, I almost forgot, I’m covered in the scent of the barbecue."
Gu Jue leaned in closer, sniffed her neck, and said, "Oh, and there’s grilled squid too."
Su Wan: "Xiaochen specifically asked for it... Xiaochen!"
Su Wan noticed the aircraft had already taken off.
She hurriedly said, "I came here today with Xiaochen, and I just went with Pandora to meet the Punei family elders, Xiaochen is still with Luo Jina helping out... we need to go back quickly!"
Gu Jue said, "Send a message to Luo Jina, and have them send Xiaochen back in two hours."
Su Wan was taken aback: "Two hours?"
Her eyes drifted down to a very familiar, fluffy tail.
It was skillfully wrapped around her ankle...
**
Little Gu Chen learned a certain truth.
And that was, whenever he encountered something very joyful, an extremely unhappy thing would happen right after QAQ.
Last time he went on a trip to an alien planet, he just fell asleep, and when he woke up, he was sent back home.
The second time, he was happily going with his mom to a party.
But in the blink of an eye, mom had left early.
Rumor had it, she’d been whisked away by dad.
In the moment the wolf-eared baby learned the truth, he instantly felt that the grilled squid in his arms lost all its appeal!
He was no longer mommy’s favorite baby! O(╥﹏╥)o
The wolf-eared baby had been home for more than an hour, still sitting there sulking, with his fluffy canine ears drooping.
Su Wan cooed and comforted for a long time.
The baby was very angry this time, the kind that couldn’t even be pacified with roasted squid!
At that moment, Gu Jue, clad in black homewear with gold trim, strode into the children’s room.
He said to Su Wan, "Wanwan, go take a shower and rest first, I’ll spend some time with the child."
Su Wan was a bit worried.
Gu Jue nodded at her.
Su Wan thought that perhaps their father-son relationship could facilitate better communication.
She nodded, touched their son’s fluffy little head, and then finally left.
Gu Jue sat opposite his son, and from the space button, he took out a glass bottle.
Inside the bottle was something pink.
Little Gu Chen glanced over curiously a few times but then turned his head away again.
He still remembered that he was angry!
So he remained puffed up with indignation.
Gu Jue said, "This is a Beastial Octopus. It’s not a Beastman, but it’s much smarter than ordinary Star Beasts and can understand what you say. Of course, you have to be tougher than it. Otherwise, you can’t control it."
The drooping wolf ears immediately perked up.
They even gave a couple of twitches.
But the wolf-eared baby, still puffy with anger, didn’t turn back.
Gu Jue was not annoyed, his tone still calm and steady, "If you don’t want it, I’ll take it away."
After saying this, he stood up, ready to leave the children’s room.
"Daddy! I want it! I want it!"
Worried that daddy might change his mind, the wolf-eared baby immediately stretched out his little hands and wrapped them around daddy’s big legs.
The wolf-eared baby instantly became an ornament hanging from Commander Gu’s leg.
Gu Jue handed the glass bottle to his son.
He said, "Although this creature is a youngling, it can be ferocious, and getting bitten will hurt a lot. If you want to tame it, you’ve got to be fiercer."
Little Gu Chen held the glass bottle and nodded vigorously.
"If it doesn’t obey, just, roast and eat it! And sprinkle, some cumin on it!"
The little octopus in the bottle had already shrunk into a pink ball!
Too terrifying!
Seeing his son’s sparkling eyes, Gu Jue nodded in approval.
He said, "Mmm, that’s right. Don’t get angry about every little thing in the future. That’s not what boys should do, understand?"
The wolf-eared baby felt something wasn’t quite right.
But, the little octopus was too cute.
It looked delicious too!
So the wolf-eared baby nodded with all his might, "I’m not angry anymore!"
Gu Jue smiled, "Good boy."
After pacifying his son, Gu Jue returned to the master bedroom, just in time to see Su Wan had finished her shower, toweling off her hair.
Gu Jue skillfully picked up the hair dryer and started drying Su Wan’s hair.
Su Wan asked, "Is Xiaochen still angry? Otherwise, I’ll go sleep with him tonight."
Gu Jue’s hand paused, his lips pressing down slightly.
"He’s not angry anymore, and besides, he’s already so big, there’s no need to sleep with him."
Su Wan’s lips twitched, "Commander Gu, do I need to remind you that your son isn’t even three years old yet? How is that considered big?"
The fuzzy tail gently, stroke by stroke, swept across Su Wan’s smooth ankles.
The man’s voice sounded a bit aggrieved.
"But I had to spend my days in the Beastman Base not long after I was born. Those people knew my Beast Transformation Level was extremely high, they even tried to assassinate me multiple times..."
Su Wan knew about Gu Jue’s childhood experiences.
She was filled with heartache.
She reached out to hug him and kissed the corner of his mouth, "Ajue, don’t worry, from now on you have me, and Xiaochen, and many other people, you won’t be alone anymore."
"Mmm."
Gu Jue deeply embraced his petite wife into his arms.
The tip of the fuzzy tail wagged with sheer delight...
