Chapter 448: Chapter 448: The Cold and Indifferent Commander Gu Puts on an Apron!
Pandora frowned upon hearing this and said, "Could that older one really hurt me?"
Su Wan: "..."
Hey, sister, why are you so obsessed with PK-ing?
A few of the girls were somewhat speechless, Luo Jina most of all, who laughed so hard she trembled like a flowering branch, almost bringing herself to tears!
Although Luo Jina and Pandora were no longer enemies, they still took every opportunity to verbally spar.
Pandora glared at her, "Take it easy, don’t laugh the baby out!"
"As if!"
Luo Jina had always had a coquettish nature; she smugly ate a few more skewers of meat and then, holding one up, turned to Sheng An, "Oh right, Xiao’an, how are things going with your fiancé?"
Sheng An hadn’t expected the conversation to turn to her.
Calmly, she said, "I told my mother to forget about the engagement. I’m not familiar with him, and I don’t have any intention of getting married right now."
"Oh."
For some reason, today’s conversation revolved around marriage.
Yet Su Wan felt a very warm and homely sensation.
Little Gu Chen held up a freshly grilled squid and offered it to Su Wan, "Mommy, eat, I grilled it myself!"
"Hmm, thank you, Xiaochen."
Regardless, the grilled squid was indeed delicious. And life, after all, always moves towards a better place, doesn’t it?
After the party ended, Su Wan sent her mother and Xiaoluo home first. On the starship, Lin Ranyue began, "Today, Mrs. Punei mentioned Pandora’s marriage. Xiaowan, at that moment, I thought of someone who might be perfect for Pandora."
Su Wan asked curiously, "Who?"
Lin Ranyue: "Your little brother Su Xiaoge, of course. He’s only three years older than Pandora, which isn’t too bad. But I don’t know what Xiaoge himself thinks, so I didn’t mention it in front of Mrs. Punei."
Upon consideration, Su Wan realized that her little brother Su Xiaoge was also a battle fanatic, now part of the Royal Star Fleet, and very enthusiastic about executing missions every day.
She said, "The two of them are quite compatible."
Lin Ranyue: "That’s what I think too. Since Xiaoge hasn’t returned to the Mu Family, he’s been helping me out a lot these past few years. I figure, as an elder, I should take some initiative. Gu Lei might not think too much about these things, considering he’s quite nonchalant."
Su Wan: "We can ask my little brother what he thinks. If he’s interested, I’ll talk to Pandora."
"That works."
Lin Ranyue sincerely treated it as a matter of importance.
When she got home, she happened to catch Gu Lei as he was finishing work and told him about it.
Gu Lei: "The Punei family, they’re quite decent. But it all depends on whether Pandora likes Xiaoge and whether Xiaoge is even interested in getting married."
Lin Ranyue: "Then you ask him."
"Alright."
Lin Ranyue suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh by the way, Pandora’s requirement is that he has to be able to beat her in a fight."
Gu Lei couldn’t help laughing and crying at the same time, but he understood Pandora’s temperament—she had always been challenging people to PK since before she graduated.
He said, "As far as I know, if the two of them fought, it would likely be a close match, but Xiaoge’s chances of winning would be slightly higher."
Indeed, when Gu Lei contacted Su Xiaoge, his first question was, "Xiaoge, have you ever fought with Pandora?"
Su Xiaoge: "Yeah, we’ve fought. I’ve won four out of six games. What’s up, uncle?"
Gu Lei: "Would you be interested in having a girlfriend and getting married in the future?"
This conversation leap completely baffled Su Xiaoge!
Sitting in his starship, he scratched his head, "I’ve never really thought about that. I’m out on missions every day, and if not, I’m training in the Mecha Training Room. Where would I find the time to be with a girlfriend? Getting one would just hold her back."
Gu Lei: "Oh, then you and Pandora are quite a match."
While others go on dates, you two can just have your fight dates in the Mecha Training Room.
Dating and fight dating seem not too... different?
Su Xiaoge was a bit puzzled, "Uncle, what exactly do you mean?"
"I’m arranging a blind date for you."
"..."
Although Su Xiaoge was very shocked, deep down he wasn’t against it, and even fantasized for a moment about having a regular partner for PK training; it seemed, quite nice?
Most importantly, Pandora was a very strong opponent who was improving rapidly!
On this side, Gu Lei had completed his task. He said, "Xiaoge is fine, but I’m not sure if Pandora will take a liking to him."
Lin Ranyue: "No problem, I’ll have Xiaowan take care of it."
At that moment, in Commander Gu’s residence, Su Wan was lazily not cooking today; instead, Commander Gu, dressed in grey home attire, was busy in the kitchen with his son, Little Gu Chen.
The usually icy Commander was also wearing a cartoon-patterned apron, his handsome face stern.
"White Tiger, look up the ratios for these ingredients online."
"And also the compatibility of foods."
"The flame size needs to be checked too."
White Tiger: "Yes!"
Little Gu Chen, also wearing a small apron, was washing vegetables. Turning his head, he looked at his stern father, who appeared as if he were about to command a starship to fight the Insect Clan.
He said, "Dad, can you handle it?"
The icy gaze of Commander Gu swept over.
Little Gu Chen’s wolf ears atop his head immediately stood up. He said, "I understand, a man cannot say he can’t do it! Neither can a male wolf!"
Gu Jue barely restrained himself from kicking the kid out.
After all, Wanwan was sitting out there on the sofa, waiting to eat the delicious dishes he made himself.
White Tiger, fluttering his wings, diligently searched recipes online. But after searching, he found that all of these recipes were created by none other than Madam Su Wan!
Su Wan, munching on a golden Marshal Apple, sat cross-legged on the sofa, with a large plate of fruits on the table beside her.
She had been keeping an eye on the situation in the kitchen and even snapped a photo of the father and son in their aprons.
Posting it seems like a no-go.
So she decided to treasure it herself.
At that moment, Lin Ranyue’s communication came through, talking about Su Xiaoge’s situation.
Lin Ranyue: "Xiaowan, could you help me ask around later, to see what Pandora thinks?"
Su Wan agreed immediately.
She didn’t delay and called Pandora’s communicator right away, but there wasn’t any response for a long time, probably because the other party was training again.
After waiting another two hours, Chef Gu finally finished cooking dinner and started serving it one by one.
Su Wan looked at the dishes on the table with anticipation, "It smells so good! The presentation looks nice too, Ajue, are you sure this is your first time cooking?"
Gu Jue: "Try it and see if you like the taste."
Su Wan was somewhat eager, as she was always the one cooking at home. Gu Jue thought she worked too hard, so today, since he got off work early, he took the initiative to make a sumptuous dinner.
It seemed like a celebration of some sort.
When Su Wan asked Gu Jue what they were celebrating, he didn’t say.
