Chapter 418: Chapter 418: It Could Also Be Not the Little Sister
Little Gu Chen was very disgruntled a moment ago because he didn’t get to hold the soft, fragrant mom he hadn’t seen for so long.
But upon hearing his father say so, his gem-like eyes instantly lit up!
"I have a little sister?"
"Hmm."
Su Wan’s mouth twitched at the side, "It might not be a little sister."
Gu Jue had already put his son down.
This time Little Gu Chen didn’t rush over recklessly and instead walked cautiously to mom’s side, joyfully saying, "It must be a little sister! Because I like little sisters!"
Su Wan was at a loss for words but didn’t have the heart to explain to her son whether it was indeed a little sister or not.
Because of Gu Yuan and Miao Yue’s return, the Imperial Palace instantly came alive, with the family reuniting for a very sumptuous dinner.
The Imperial Palace hadn’t been this lively in a long time.
Gu Yuan was also aware that the Federal Empire was growing stronger by the day.
Outside, there were Insectoids lurking with ill intentions.
He decided not to travel around anymore and instead help his son and brother share some of the responsibilities.
Recently, Gu Zilan was utterly worn out from dealing with the daughters of Aristocratic Families, feeling extremely frustrated.
He was constantly worried about upsetting Queen Luo Manya.
After all, everyone around the dinner table was family.
So, he spoke plainly, "Father, why don’t you take back the throne? I’ve been diligent over the years and haven’t made any mistakes."
Gu Zilan wanted to spend more time with his wife, Luo Manya, in the coming days.
And with his daughter, Ruanruan.
The thought of his little girl, who was already in her teens and might soon grow up and get married, was too much for the old father to bear!
Gu Yuan’s mouth twitched, and he firmly refused, "I don’t want it! If you talk about giving it back to me again, I’ll stop even the basic administration!"
Gu Zilan looked grievously towards his uncle, Gu Jue, sitting at his side.
Gu Jue glanced at him with an indifferent look in his eyes.
Gu Zilan: QAQ Fine, I’ll just keep sitting on the throne.
If Gu Tao were still alive and heard this father and sons pushing the throne onto each other, who knows if he’d have a mental outburst on the spot!
The men of this branch of the Gu Family were famously love-struck fools!
Over there, Luo Manya gently looked at Su Wan, "Little Auntie, I heard you’re pregnant again, have you gone to the hospital for a thorough check-up?"
Pregnant and yet ventured into danger, rescuing her teammates.
Luo Manya sincerely admired Su Wan.
Su Wan: "I’ve had a check-up, and there are no problems for the time being, just a bit tired. I should be fine after a few days of rest."
Luo Manya: "Oh, that’s good. You don’t know, but Jina has had a very strong reaction to morning sickness recently. During a video projection with Alex, she started vomiting while talking."
Su Wan couldn’t help but cry and laugh at the same time.
She could easily imagine that scene.
Alex, still shaken, had returned from that space and wanted to video chat with his wife, Luo Jina.
Then, while chatting, she just threw up on him...
That colorful, dazed, and confused scene must have been incredibly amusing.
Miao Yue also talked a lot to Su Wan, all about taking care of her health and such.
The meal was enjoyed in a joyful family reunion, and the arrival of new life was something that made everyone happy.
After dinner, it was only then that Su Wan and her small family of three boarded the aircraft, ready to go home.
Su Wan: "Ajue, did you go for a check-up at elder brother’s medical center? Your mental power outbreak..."
Gu Jue: "It’s fine, I’ve already been checked. Plus, I feel that I can slowly try to control it."
Su Wan: "Control?"
Gu Jue: "Yes, when my spiritual power is out of control, my superpower will double in strength. At that time, although my mind is not that clear, I won’t kill indiscriminately."
At that time, he had identified the City Lord as an enemy, which was why he acted against him.
Su Wan’s worries were slightly alleviated upon reflection.
After all, even when Ajue lost control in Landis City, he didn’t harm ordinary civilians.
Later, upon hearing her call, he gradually regained his sanity.
Su Wan nodded, "As long as he can control it, that’s good."
On this side, Little Gu Chen was obediently cuddling next to Mommy.
He carefully gazed at Mommy’s flat tummy.
Su Wan felt her son was a bit too quiet.
She guiltily stroked the soft hair on the top of her son’s head, "Xiaochen, Mommy will take a few days off to rest at home and spend more time with you, is that okay?"
"Great! Mommy can rest more too!"
Going on another mission.
And carrying a sister.
Mommy is really working too hard!
Upon hearing her son’s caring words, Su Wan’s heart softened into a tender mush.
When she got home, she considered whether to go swimming with her son, but then her stomach started rumbling.
She really felt hungry too quickly.
She had only recently had a big meal in the Imperial Palace not long ago.
But Gu Jue seriously instructed the White Tiger, "Go adjust the domestic kitchen robot’s programming to ensure that all three meals at home cater to the tastes of a pregnant woman."
White Tiger: "Okay!"
Vermilion Bird thought for a moment and said, "I will also add some recipes for pregnant women and various precautions."
When Su Wan and the others went to Landis Space, Vermilion Bird and White Tiger were both on standby.
Once they left, they naturally reactivated.
But both were a bit shaken.
During the time they lost contact with their owners, the two AIs were somewhat panicked.
Especially worried about their owners.
Fortunately, they were unharmed.
Meanwhile, Gu Jue had just received a call from Gu Qingyu, so Su Wan took the opportunity to turn around and communicate with her mother, Lin Ranyue, as well.
She informed her of the joyful news.
Lin Ranyue was unaware that her daughter had undertaken a very dangerous mission.
And that she almost didn’t come back.
Su Wan didn’t wish to worry her mother by telling her, thus adding unnecessary concern.
But upon hearing that her daughter was pregnant again and that the baby might be a mermaid, Lin Ranyue was delighted.
"That’s wonderful, Xiaowan. Don’t take on any dangerous missions during this time, just focus on taking care of your health."
Su Wan verbally agreed.
But in her heart, she would decide depending on the situation.
If her body didn’t have any major issues, she was someone who couldn’t stay idle.
Even though she had asked for leave from the Starship Fleet, there were matters at the Su Family restaurant that Su Wan had to attend to.
Thankfully, the Su Family restaurant was now on the right track, just that a new branch needed to be opened in the new district, which required Su Wan to get busy.
For instance, in District Eleven, where the Mermaid Clan resided, the Su Family restaurant was also going to open a branch.
There was no shortage of tasks that needed her attention.
However, worried about her daughter, Lin Ranyue, accompanied by her son Xiaoluo, came to visit the next day.
Xiao Luoluo especially loved the big swimming pool at his sister’s house, which was as large as two rooms and created a very comfortable environment for the little mermaid.
Of course, Little Gu Chen joined them... and Little Gu Chen was probably the best swimmer of the Wolf Clan Beastmen in the entire Interstellar Alliance!
Watching the children frolicking in the water,
Lin Ranyue hesitated a moment before saying, "Xiaowan, do you know that your second brother Xiaoni and Cecilia are getting a divorce?"
