Chapter 427: Chapter 427: What to do if my little sister can eat a lot?
Su Wan didn’t soak in the water for too long.
After Mommy left, Little Gu Chen also climbed out of the pool and obediently went back to the children’s room.
He was a Wolf Clan Beastman.
And had developed the habit of soaking in water every day.
He said to the little octopus the size of a palm in the fish tank, "Little Octopus, what can I do to earn Star Coins?"
The pink little octopus blew a black bubble.
Asking it, a Star Beast, how would it know how to earn Star Coins!
Little Gu Chen uttered an "oh" and said, "I forgot, you’re less smart. But I still need to find a way to make money, because my sister might eat a lot in the future."
If his sister ate up all of Daddy and Mommy’s money by then,
He would have to earn more to buy delicious food for his sister.
Otherwise, his sister would become thin from hunger!

Su Wan took a shower and changed into a white house dress; she continued to prepare for her live broadcast.
She planned to ask Sheng An for help.
So, she called Sheng An.
Upon hearing her request, Sheng An immediately said, "No problem. Also, Xiaowan, Lele is about to start school. Could he come to work at the First Star District branch of Su Family’s restaurant?"
Over the years, Sheng Le’s culinary skills had surpassed those of his master, Su Teng.
And he didn’t neglect his studies during this time.
This year, having just turned eighteen, he was also admitted to Empire Military College with excellent grades.
Working at the branch in the same First Star District would certainly be more convenient.
Su Wan: "No problem, have him report to the branch in the First Star District first. Oh, and Xiao’an, how’s the investigation into your background going?"
Su Wan had been quite busy lately, and Sheng An had been on missions with the Starship Fleet until recently when he had just returned.
Sheng An openly said, "The genetic comparison is 99.99 percent."
Su Wan: "So, they are your relatives?"
Sheng An: "Mhm."
Seeing her friend so calm and composed, Su Wan was somewhat relieved but still said, "Xiao’an, no matter what choice you make, I will always support you!"
When others said something like this, it might just be a form of moral support.
But when Su Wan said it... having known her for many years, Sheng An knew she meant every word.
The weight of that promise was enormous.
Sheng An also knew she was worried about him.
"Xiaowan, don’t worry. If I had found out about this when I was a child, I might have been unable to sleep or would have been so sad I cried, but I’m grown up now. If they’re relatives, then I’ll meet them, but it won’t change my current life."
Sheng An had always known what he wanted.
Calm, rational, composed.
After hearing this, Su Wan completely let go of her worries.
But she teased him, smiling, "Since you’ve decided to go back and recognize your relatives, are you going to acknowledge your fiancé too?"
Sheng An quickly said, "No, no, no, I don’t like someone like Zhuo Yun."
Su Wan: "Oh, I know, you like someone like me."
Sheng An couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
This light-hearted topic also diluted the faint sadness Sheng An felt from suddenly finding his long-lost relatives.
Even though Sheng An was very strong,
Even the strongest person has moments of weakness.
Su Wan understood but didn’t say it outright, instead using other topics to lift Sheng An’s spirits, making his mood a bit brighter.
Perhaps that’s what true friends are.
With the live broadcast preparations completed, and since it was in the Eleventh District, the Mermaid District,
Lan Rui, along with her cousin Bai Qianqian, came to help.
The members of the Ninth Squad also arrived, everyone took off their military uniforms, and changed into Su Family restaurant’s uniform, assisting Su Wan.
And inside the restaurant, it was packed with customers.
Most of these customers were from the Mermaid Clan.
For instance, Lan Ruochen, Lan Ruojin, and others, had already taken their seats at the most prominent table.
Even Elder Ada of the mermaids had made an appearance!
Now, Mermaid Planet could be said to be divided in two, because the Federal Empire had provided great privileges to the Mermaid Clan.
They had quickly become familiar with and adapted to life here.
Seeing the hall filled with mermaids, Luo Jina, looking at the variety of fish being prepared in the kitchen, exclaimed in surprise, "Xiaowan, are you going to serve a full fish feast to the mermaids?"
"Yeah."
"Won’t they find it a bit... odd?"
Su Wan: "Actually, the Mermaid Clan really enjoys eating fish."
Today Luo Jina wasn’t feeling strong pregnancy nausea, but her mood was quite complex.
At this time, while the adults were busy, Little Gu Chen was tottering around with a small glass tank in his arms.
He whispered, "Xiaoba, you mustn’t run around. My mom is making a full fish feast today. Watch out or you might get chopped up and turned into several dishes."
The pink Little Octopus, utterly speechless, blew a black bubble.
Having been raised by Little Gu Chen for years, and perhaps due to Gu Chen’s strong spiritual power, Xiaoba had grown quite large.
But Xiaoba was constantly worried about being eaten by this family.
So, it learned how to shrink its body.
Now, it still looked like it did when Little Gu Chen first saw it, the size of a palm.
However, Xiaoba’s true body could already fill a thirty-square-meter room!
Xiaoba lazily yawned, then rested on the edge of the tank, looking at a large tank where there was an octopus Star Beast.
Staring at it.
Xiaoba: What are you looking at! I’m a pet, you’re just a dish soon!
The octopus Star Beast: ...
Is even being a Star Beast competitive now?
After playing in the kitchen for a while, Little Gu Chen ran to the front hall.
Today, his grandmother had also brought Xiaoluo, he went to play with them.
Although, Little Gu Chen wanted to find his mom more.
But, his mom had important things to do today!
With that in mind, Little Gu Chen trotted off towards the front hall.
En route, he bumped into someone.
Today, Lan Ruojin had dressed up quite smartly, as it was the day Su Wan’s family was opening a branch restaurant, and he was the general manager of the branch.
The once suave Mermaid Prince was now fully focused on doing business.
What’s more, his former girlfriends all showed especially great support, each coming to show their faces and bringing flower baskets.
Only, on the flower baskets, the duration of Lan Ruojin’s romance with them was marked...
After being bumped into, Lan Ruojin’s first reaction was to frown, "Whose child is this, running around like that?"
Little Gu Chen quickly steadied his tank, relieved to see that Xiaoba hadn’t been flung out. Then he lifted his palm-sized little face and said, "Don’t you recognize me?"
Lan Ruojin was about to scoff, who are you for me to recognize! But then he saw the child’s face, and his handsome features froze!
"Ah, you’re Xiaochen!"
The previously fierce Lan Ruojin immediately switched to a friendly uncle demeanor.
He hurriedly said, "Sorry Xiaochen, uncle wasn’t looking where he was going."
Little Gu Chen: "Never mind, I forgive you lah."
He waved his little hand like a little adult, then turned and continued on his way.
Lan Ruojin watched the child—impressive, smart, and good-looking—and couldn’t help feeling emotional.
"When can I have such a clever and adorable kid of my own?"
