Chapter 420: Chapter 420: The Wolf-eared Cub Said with Reddened Eyes, "The Little Mermaid is too Pitiful
It’s like when you grip a handful of sand too tightly.
You want to obtain so much.
Yet because of the strength you use, the sand in your hand actually slips away faster and more...

Commander Gu’s residence.
Lan Rui had been here before, but this time, she came for a different reason.
Sitting on the sofa, she said to Su Wan, "I am here to invite you to join us for dinner at the Su Family ancestral home this weekend."
Su Wan, "You know about me and Su Yun..."
Lan Rui, "I know, and you probably won’t call me sister-in-law, but regardless, we are both from the Mermaid Clan. At the Su Family, what I mean is, can you attend this family dinner, Su Wan?"
Lan Rui had long stopped being as haughty as she once was around Su Wan.
Now her speech was cautious and hesitant.
Very nervous.
Waiting expectantly, with hopeful eyes, looking at Su Wan...
Su Wan had a household robot bring some fruit tea and pastries.
She said, "I understand. I will attend the Su Family dinner."
Lan Rui suddenly became happy.
She actually wanted to talk about something else, but as Su Wan seemed very tired, she hesitated to impose any further.
However, before leaving, Lan Rui said, "Su Wan, aren’t you curious why I could marry Su Yun?"
Su Wan shook her head, "Not curious."
Lan Rui said somewhat speechlessly, "Su Wan, you are really no fun. Never mind then. As long as you attend the dinner, that’s fine."
Su Wan called out to her retreating figure, "Without even a wedding, Lan Rui, that’s not like you."
Landing a step, Lan Rui turned, her face breaking into a smile.
"The wedding isn’t important, the person is important."
Watching Lan Rui’s flying vehicle take off, Su Wan stood there, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
The once overly sentimental and capricious Mermaid Princess had suddenly transformed into someone who only wanted love and nothing else.
Truly surprising.
And it was Lan Rui who had terminated the pregnancy and rejected Su Yun in the past.
Now it was Lan Rui who actively pursued Su Yun. To think that in the end they were actually going to get married?
It seemed like in these past few years, everyone had been changing.
That night, after Gu Jue had finished his work at the military department, Su Wan spoke to him about going to the Su Family ancestral home in Sanxing District over the weekend.
Gu Jue, "I happen to be free then, I’ll accompany you."
Su Wan wrapped her arms around him.
It wasn’t exactly to give face to Su Yun; mainly, it was because Su Yun married Lan Rui, marking an alliance between the Su Family and the Lan Family.
Su Wan was doing it to show respect for her grandfather, Old Master Su.
And Gu Jue’s willingness to go was, of course, all for Su Wan.
"Ajue, why are you so nice? You are so good to me!"
Although they already had little Gu Chen, and there was another little one in her belly.
But at that moment, the way Su Wan clung to Gu Jue was just like a little girl.
And Gu Jue liked her exactly for that spirit.
In fact, during his Manic-Depressive Period, Gu Jue would also act coquettishly with Su Wan.
This was... their little couple’s private joy.
So, as they held each other, a fluffy big tail emerged and skillfully wrapped around Su Wan’s ankles.
It was then that the little wolf-eared baby came out, holding the remote for his Mecha.
He said, "Mommy, aren’t you going to tell little sister the story of Little Red Riding Hood tonight?"
The little couple, who were in each other’s arms... or rather entwined with each other, froze.
Gu Jue looked at his son with a cool gaze.
But Su Wan had already hurriedly let go, pulling away the tail wrapped around her.
She turned her head towards little Gu Chen and said, "We’re not telling the story of Little Red Riding Hood today."
Little Gu Chen: "So what are you going to talk about?"
Su Wan thought about it and said, "I’ll talk about the daughter of the sea."
Gu Jue actually knew that many of the stories his darling wife told were the ones she had heard back on Ancient Earth, naive and interesting.
Storytelling was also a time for bonding between his wife and son.
When Gu Jue wasn’t busy, he would listen in too.
If there was official business, he would finish it first, then head to the children’s room to pick up his wife.
This time was no different.
After finishing a video conference, Gu Jue left his study and headed to the children’s room, where, unsurprisingly, he found his darling wife had fallen asleep again.
Since getting pregnant, Wanwan’s appetite and tendency to sleep had become more and more pronounced.
The baby boy, with his wolf ears, knew his mother was asleep and didn’t wake her. Instead, he snuggled into her arms, his eyes red-rimmed.
He looked pitiable.
Gu Jue, in a rare moment of fatherly tenderness, asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
Tell a story, how did it end up making the child cry?
Little Gu Chen lifted his head, biting the corner of his mouth, looking pitiable, but his eyes and tone were firm.
He said, "The Little Mermaid suffered too much, she fell in love with a scumbag and endured a lot of hardship. Dad, if someone dares to bully sister like that in the future, let’s kick him into a black hole so he can never crawl out again, okay?"
It was then that Gu Jue understood that it was a story told by Su Wan.
But the thought of some wretched man bullying his precious daughter in the future...
Gu Jue said coldly, "Just throwing him into a black hole would be letting him off too easy!"
Little Gu Chen’s wolf ears quivered, full of curiosity, "Then what should we do?"
"Wait until you grow up a bit, and I’ll tell you."
"Okay!"
Su Wan, deep in sleep, had no idea what these two were plotting.
She turned over in Gu Jue’s arms and continued to sleep even more comfortably.

In the Sanxing District, the Su Family villa.
It had been a long time since the Su Family was this lively.
The eldest son of the Su Family married the daughter of the Lan Family... Now there were no princesses to speak of, because in the Federal Empire, only the daughters of Gu Zilan could be called princesses.
However, the Lan Family was also a top-tier noble family within the Federal Empire.
But they didn’t have a wedding ceremony.
No matter what, it was rather hard to justify.
Old Master Su looked at his eldest grandson with a speechless expression.
"Why don’t you have a wedding? You’ve taken this young girl, and this is how you treat her?"
Su Yun said calmly, "I’m just getting married. I don’t want too many people to know, and I don’t want to make a big fuss. I’ve already explained this to Lan Rui."
Old Master Su sighed softly, "You kids all have your own ideas. Fine, do whatever you like."
After the death of his son, Old Master Su had indeed been deeply affected.
But these years, his two grandsons and granddaughter visited him often.
Even Ranyue would frequently come to see him with the kids.
And then there was the gentle consolation and careful companionship of his wife, Meira.
Old Master Su gradually came to terms with it.
Everyone has their own life.
Whatever you do, no matter what the outcome, you’re responsible for your own life.
Finally, Old Master Su said, "Go out and keep the guests company. There are quite a few people from the Lan Family here today; don’t neglect them."
"Understood." Su Yun stood up and left.
In fact, the Lan Family members were quite dissatisfied with Su Yun.
Their Lan Rui just married him like this, and they didn’t even have a wedding ceremony?
Even Lan Ruochen, who normally had a good temper, looked unhappy today.
Sitting beside him, Lan Rui spoke in a low voice, "Brother, just give me a smile, will you? It’s my big day today, why do you have to look so stern?"
