Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Whose Husband Is Being Stolen?
Doris soon found out.
It was their third fleet that had launched an attack on the Federal Empire’s universal spaceship!
Doris’s face turned even uglier with rage.
She said, "When the commander of the third fleet returns, have him see me immediately!"
That was a planet!
Yet, at this time, they absolutely could not afford to start a conflict with the Federal Empire!
Doris was practically about to explode with anger!
Meanwhile, Su Man, on his way back, remained unaware that his misfortune was about to strike!
**
In the military headquarters, commander Gu’s private lounge.
Su Wan had slept and, upon waking, found that Gu Jue had already returned.
He bent down to kiss her brow, "Did you rest well? There is a banquet at the Imperial Palace tonight, if you don’t want to attend, you can go home and rest."
Su Wan rubbed her eyes, sat up, and said, "How could I not go? I need to see who exactly is seeking a marriage alliance."
The people of Yuanyi Planet pursued a life of ’one lifetime, one pair’, and would not interfere with other people’s families.
But the same couldn’t be said for everyone else.
Gu Jue said softly, "Wanwan, I would never do anything to betray you."
Su Wan replied, "I believe you, but you can’t guarantee others won’t do something. You must reject whoever you should, but if some rivals are too outrageous, I will need to step in."
Marriage is maintained by both parties together.
That’s the only way it will last.
Moreover, Gu Jue was too outstanding, and though they were married for many years and their children were so grown,
There were still some people coveting Gu Jue, eagerly waiting for a chance to replace Su Wan.
Gu Jue did not know what to say, so he could only transform and bring out his large tail to comfort his little wife.
As Su Wan touched the fluffy, extremely pleasant to touch tail, she suddenly understood why Gaia would give up some things to live a secluded pastoral life with her lover.
Because only then was she truly free.
**
Inside the Imperial Palace, the lights dazzled, the cups and laughter intermingled, creating an extraordinarily lively scene.
Su Wan wore a Klein blue long dress and entered the banquet hall on Gu Jue’s arm.
First, she took little Gu Chen to little princess Gu Ruanruan.
Gu Zilan and Queen Luo Manya had not had any other children, leaving only little princess Ruanruan alone.
Of course, this was also one of the reasons many people were itching for an opportunity.
Although Gu Jue was outstanding, he was far too cold and intimidating at first glance!
Most importantly, Madam Su Wan, his wife, was now a Super Beastman, a powerful Interstellar Warrior, and moreover, the owner of the Su Family’s restaurant chain conglomerate.
A woman like that was not to be trifled with.
Who would dare vie with her for her husband!
Meanwhile, Gu Zilan appeared gentle and scholarly, Queen Luo Manya seen as presumably gentle... and magnanimous, too?
At this point, Su Wan noticed many noblewomen from different planets at the banquet.
Many eyes turned toward Gu Zilan.
Some did so discreetly, with quick, covert glances.
But others were boldly passionate.
It made sense because if any of them could marry Gu Zilan.
The son she would later bear might just become the heir to this vast Federal Empire!
Oh, that must be what they’re all thinking.
But after reading that, Su Wan’s lips twisted wryly without a word.
Day hasn’t even turned to night, and they’re already dreaming!
Shortly, Gu Jue had to take an emergency communication, so Su Wan let him get to it, and went to the back to find Luo Manya.
The intentions of that group of women were all too clear.
Su Wan was worried Luo Manya might feel upset, so she wanted to offer some comfort.
But when she got to the back lounge, several ladies were keeping Luo Manya company, talking to her.
The dignified and graceful queen still had a gentle expression, showing no signs of anger.
Upon seeing Su Wan, the ladies all stood up, making room for her.
They had the insight to know that these two ladies of the highest status in the Federal Empire had matters to discuss.
After exchanging greetings, the women left.
In the lounge, only Su Wan and Luo Manya remained, along with the service robots standing by.
Su Wan asked a housekeeping robot to pour a glass of juice.
After taking a sip, she said, "Manya, I really admire you. Just now, I saw Zhuo Yun in Ajue’s lounge, and he had turned into a woman. My first reaction was nearly to summon the Vermilion Bird!"
Luo Manya laughed helplessly, "Uncle Gu isn’t that kind of person."
"I know, Ajue isn’t, and neither is your family’s Zilan. But the thing is, jealousy is really beyond control unless you don’t care about your partner at all."
Su Wan turned to look at her, "Just think about it, I went out for over ten days and came back only to find a woman inside Ajue’s private lounge; Ajue was there too, and the crucial point is, this woman was even there playing with my son!"
Thinking about that scene earlier...
It really gets on one’s nerves!
"If Zhuo Yun weren’t a man, I honestly wouldn’t have been able to calm my fury without throwing a couple of punches."
Luo Manya couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Why two bouts? Like a first half and a second half?"
Su Wan: "No, the mistress definitely deserves a beating, and since we’re all women, we should strive for equality, so no need for chivalry. And the man who gave the mistress a chance to set foot in his chambers and caused ambiguity, he also needs a thrashing! We can’t do favoritism, right?"
Initially, Luo Manya wasn’t in a good mood.
The objective of those women was just too blatant.
But after listening to Su Wan, she couldn’t help but laugh, and her mood somewhat inexplicably improved.
Su Wan sighed, "I came in here to comfort you, and instead, I ended up trying to make you laugh. But do you really not care at all about those women outside, practically gluing their eyes on Zilan ?"
After all, Gu Zilan is the prince of the Federal Empire.
And a prince is actually allowed to take several wives.
Although, there is only one queen.
Because so far, Gu Zilan doesn’t have a son, many people still believe that as long as one could marry Gu Zilan...
They might have the chance to replace Queen Luo Manya!
Su Wan felt somewhat worried for Luo Manya.
Luo Manya, lifting the corners of her mouth gently, said softly, "It’s not a big deal, if he remarries, I’ll just divorce him. After we divorce, I can take away fifty percent of Gu Zilan’s fortune."
"Honestly, his fifty percent is quite considerable; I could go and establish a planetary kingdom."
"Oh right, when Ruanruan was born, I had Zilan sign an agreement. It states if one day he betrays me, I can let Ruanruan choose whether or not to leave with me."
Luo Manya looked at Su Wan as if she had an epiphany and smiled slightly, "All the above are just backup plans, I actually have a primary plan."
Su Wan, curious: "What is it?"
Luo Manya whispered, "When I married Zilan, I told him I don’t like divorce. He asked me what I like, and I said, I prefer to be widowed."
After a few seconds of silence, Su Wan slowly raised her thumb to Queen Luo Manya!
