Chapter 446: Chapter 446: My Fish Tail Misses You
Several days had passed since the mother and daughter recognized each other, but because they had been estranged for many years, they still felt very unfamiliar with one another, so Sheng An had yet to call out "mom".
Although Hua Yueran also felt disappointed, she fully understood her daughter.
She was not in a hurry and was willing to wait for the moment when Xiao’an would completely open her heart.
After all, her child had been lost for so many years...
But now, her daughter was willing to call her "mom", Hua Yueran’s eyes reddened, and her body trembled slightly from excessive excitement.
Sheng An also realized what she had just called out, and an unnatural flush passed over her usually composed face.
But she still said firmly, "Mom, I told my friends to postpone the welcome party, you should first come back to the apartment with me to rest. But my friends, they are all very good people."
After the first call, naturally, there would be a second.
Because once certain things are started, one finds that they are not as difficult as imagined.
In the spacecraft, although the conversation between mother and daughter was a bit awkward, and their gazes did not meet,
the atmosphere was magically very tender and harmonious...
**
Su Wan had been quite busy recently, going to the military department during the day and picking up Xiaochen from the Imperial Palace after work, then the mother and son would return home together.
At home, as usual, Su Wan made some delicious food for herself and her son, and after dinner, they would take a walk in the garden together.
Then they would head to the children’s room to see what else needed to be arranged.
Ouyang Qing had sent over some equipment designed to assist the hatching of the mermaid egg, which had already been nicely set up in the children’s room.
The children’s room had now expanded into two adjoining suites. Fortunately, their family was small, so occupying a few extra empty rooms wasn’t an issue.
Moreover, Lin Ranyue had also brought over some mermaid baby items used by her son Xiaoluo when he was younger.
After they finished their tasks, Vermilion Bird controlled the household robot to bring them a fruit platter and a hot glass of milk.
Little Gu Chen took a sip from his cup, his fuzzy little canine ears shaking happily on top of his head.
"Suddenly, I feel like it’s so nice that dad isn’t home."
Su Wan was also drinking her hot milk and couldn’t help but feel amused at those words.
She better make sure Ajue doesn’t hear this.
Meanwhile, Xiaochen continued to express his feelings, "Every day I look forward to you picking me up from the Imperial Palace, Mum. And when we get home, you make yummy food just the way I like it. And not only that, Mum, you decorate my sister’s room with me and then we eat fruit and drink milk together."
The little guy squinted his eyes in comfort and happiness.
He felt he had reached the pinnacle of bliss in life and thought everything would be even more perfect once his little sister was born.
However, the next moment, the wolf-eared cub was lifted up by a large hand.
"Xiaochen, what did you just say? Dad didn’t hear it clearly."
Gu Jue had just returned home, weary from travel, still dressed in his uniform without having had the chance to change. He had missed his wife and child terribly after not seeing them for many days.
But who would have thought the first thing he’d hear upon arriving home were these words from the wolf cub!
What was that about it being nice that dad isn’t home?
Hmph.
The wolf-eared cub had a particularly strong will to live!
He immediately used his hands and feet, clinging to his dad’s sturdy arm like a little tree shrew, his happy tail tip wagging as hard as it could, like a little electric motor.
Little Gu Chen: "Wow! Dad, you’re back! The reason I said that just now was because I was worried Mom missed you too much. You don’t know how much she missed you while you were out fighting wars. I just wanted to divert the subject to prevent her from being sad!"
Su Wan was even more at a loss for words beside him, thinking, you’re only diverting the topic now?
Fortunately, Gu Jue was not really angry. After putting the child down, he turned around and took Su Wan into his arms.
His chin rubbed against Su Wan’s soft hair, "I missed you too."
Su Wan delicately chided, "The child is still here."
Little Gu Chen immediately grabbed his milk cup and fruit plate and turned to leave, "It’s fine, carry on, pretend I’m not here."
Years of survival experience told the little wolf-eared boy never to be the third wheel when his parents were reuniting after a long time.
Otherwise, he would be thrown out by his own dad.
Meanwhile, Su Wan and Gu Jue returned to their master bedroom. She reached out to take Gu Jue’s coat, "Ajue, how’s the situation now?"
"We’ve cleared out three Insectoid bases on their planets, and we’ve also subjugated four planets that had sided with the Insectoids."
To subjugate meant exactly that.
These people were either bewitched by the Insectoids or, like Jin Weisi, they lacked ability but harbored ambitions.
And then they even tried to use the power of the Insectoids to realize their ambitions.
The fact proved that lack of ability was just that; if Jin Weisi and his kind had any talent at all, Queen Gaia wouldn’t have passed the throne to a subordinate rather than her own cousin.
Speaking of Jin Weisi...
Gu Jue: "Jin Weisi has specifically asked to see Lan Ruochen, apparently hoping for his help."
Su Wan: "Does he have the gall? But I have to say, this person can really bend and stretch."
It’s just a pity that Lan Ruochen, although easy-going and kind-hearted, is no fool and would obviously not help Jin Weisi at this juncture.
Gu Jue: "Some people from various planets have run to the Insectoids, others have been captured. Now, there will be a meeting on how to deal with these people, and we need to make arrangements for the ordinary residents of their planets."
Su Wan: "Didn’t we have people from their planets coming over to the Universe Alliance? We could choose reliable people from among them to go back and manage."
Each planet has its own culture; letting them manage their own people is the best choice.
The Universe Alliance Army attacked them not to occupy their land, but to drive away the Insectoids and the misguided Beastmen who cozy up to the Insectoids.
Gu Jue suddenly leaned in and kissed the corner of his little wife’s mouth. Seeing her dazed expression, the corner of his mouth lifted.
"My Wanwan is truly clever."
Su Wan was speechless, "This is just normal thinking, don’t keep praising me. What if I get so flattered that I begin to think I can fly?"
"No problem, if you fly to the sky, I will fly with you. If you fly fast, I will chase after you. Whenever you want to land, I will be down there with open arms to catch you."
This man, even when not in his Manic-Depressive Period, spoke such sweet nothings.
Commander Gu has made quite a progress!
With a warm heart, Su Wan wrapped her arms around his neck, "Ajue, I really missed you, even my fishtail missed you..."
Gu Jue: "..."
He said nothing, simply picked up his little coy wife and walked towards the soft bed.
However, Gu Jue was mindful that his little wife was still pregnant, so he didn’t let his Manic-Depressive Period take over. Instead, he kissed her with utmost devotion, with utmost tenderness...
