Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Gu Jue’s Unease
Lin Ranyue spent some time talking with her daughter and then let her rest properly.
She also told Su Wan not to worry about helping with Su Xiaoge and Pandora’s wedding arrangements.
Su Wan actually felt fine, the labor pains had ended, and she estimated that she could probably go out and knock down a few people with a Mecha without any problem.
But she was never one to overexert herself, so she obediently agreed at this time.
Only then did Lin Ranyue feel at ease and stood up to leave.
When Gu Jue walked in and saw her, he said, "I’ve already informed the Imperial Palace’s etiquette officer. He will contact Gu Lei tomorrow, and let him bring people to help with the wedding preparations."
Lin Ranyue, "That’s so much trouble!"
Gu Jue, "We’re all family; it’s not troublesome at all."
Lin Ranyue, "Then I truly thank you."
Even though the man was her son-in-law, Lin Ranyue knew his status was extraordinary.
The reason the Imperial Palace’s etiquette officer was willing to help with the wedding was all because of Xiaowan.
Seeing Xiaowan’s husband caring so much about her, Lin Ranyue, as a mother, was extremely reassured.
After Lin Ranyue left, Gu Jue came in, and Little Gu Chen was cuddled up next to her, holding a book. In his baby voice, he said, "Mommy, can I tell you a story, okay?"
"What story does Xiaochen want to tell Mommy?"
"It’s about the seven dwarfs and the mermaid."
"..."
Su Wan realized that her kid was just too smart. Any story she told once, this little guy could automatically rewrite into several versions.
Lately, the protagonist of all his stories had been changed to a little mermaid.
When Gu Jue stepped in, mother and daughter were both looking at him.
Gu Jue looked at his son, "Xiaochen, you have to go to the Imperial Palace for school now."
The wolf-eared baby pleaded, "It’s already halfway through the day; can I take a day off to stay home and keep Mommy company?"
Gu Jue, "No, you can’t miss your classes."
Little Gu Chen, "Then who will keep Mommy company when I’m at school?"
Gu Jue, "I will."
Little Gu Chen, "..."
Su Wan felt the atmosphere was quite awkward and awkwardly chuckled, "You both go about your business. I’ll be fine at home alone. My stomach doesn’t hurt anymore; actually, I would have no problem going to work at the military office."
"No way!"
"Not allowed!"
After being rejected by the two men, one big and one small, Su Wan’s mouth twitched, and in the end, of course, she obediently laid down at home.
It was Gu Jue who left first, taking his son to the Imperial Palace. As he got off the flying machine, he said, "You need to grow up fast, get stronger quickly, so when I’m not at home, I can rest assured knowing you can protect your mother well."
The wolf-eared baby, who was a bit downhearted just a moment ago, suddenly had bright eyes the next!
That’s right, when his dad was out on missions, he had to take on the responsibility of guarding his mother!
So, he really needed to grow up quickly!
Later, when his little sister was born, he would have to protect her too!
Little Gu Chen nodded solemnly, "Dad, I will study hard and become strong quickly, so I can protect Mom and my little sister together with you!"
Gu Jue’s lips curved into a slight smile, and he reached out to touch his son’s soft hair on the head, "Good boy."
You need to grow up and become strong and independent quickly, so I can let you leave home and stand on your own.
After Gu Jue dropped off his son, he turned back home. The military affairs that were not urgent, he would postpone, and the urgent ones, he would handle online.
When he got home, Su Wan had no idea, as she was chatting with friends on her light-brain.
Su Wan: Not given birth yet, who told you guys I had? It’s not that fast.
Luo Jina: You scared me! I thought you had given birth!
Luo Jina: I was thinking, although everyone’s pregnancy duration is roughly the same, you ended up giving birth first, and I still have to wait a while...
Su Wan: But today, elder sister Ouyang examined me and said it might be just one or two more weeks before I can give birth.
Luo Jina, who still has several months to go: ...
I’m so jealous!
Each Beastman’s gestation period is different, and the fact that mermaids who can give birth after just three to four months is truly enviable.
Remembering something that Sheng An had mentioned earlier about her mother not being very well, Su Wan sent a message to Sheng An.
She told her to bring her mother to the Medical Center to see Ouyang Qing; Su Wan had already arranged this with Ouyang Qing.
Besides, there seemed to be progress with Cecilia and Su Ni’s artificial embryo cultivation; three sets had been cultivated, and now one set had survived.
This was told to Su Wan by Ouyang Qing.
Although it’s uncertain whether the embryo will grow up successfully, that is still a hope.
For Su Ni and Cecilia, it’s something to look forward to.
Additionally, Pandora also sent a communication to Su Wan.
"Xiaowan, you rest well and don’t overexert yourself. Moreover, our family discussed and decided to have our wedding at the same time as my brother’s."
Upon hearing this, Su Wan thought, "That’s not bad. Although Commander Agros and Bai Qianqian have only started dating recently, they have known each other for far too long."
It’s different from Pandora’s situation since Bai Qianqian has been pursuing Agros for three whole years.
Now that they can tie the knot, it’s a good thing indeed.
And upon hearing about Agros’s upcoming marriage, Luo Jina and Alex finally let go of the guilt they had deep down.
After a round of communications and handling some work-related matters, Su Wan put down her light-brain, and then she saw Gu Jue had come back.
Su Wan quickly prepared herself and said, "I was just chatting with friends."
Gu Jue hummed a response, took off his military jacket, and then sat down beside Su Wan.
He reached out to hold his petite wife’s hand, his handsome brows tightly furrowed.
Su Wan: "Ajue, what’s wrong? Are you still worried about my health? I’m completely fine, if you don’t believe me, surely you believe in Ouyang Qing’s medical skills, right?"
Gu Jue suddenly stretched out his arm, hugged Su Wan, and gently kissed her ear.
Su Wan was startled, and in the next moment, her beautiful mermaid fin ears appeared as she whispered, "Ajue, has something happened?"
"After this child is born, let’s not have any more children in the future. I’ll control my Manic-Depressive Period and make sure it never happens again."
Su Wan’s eyebrows twitched, and she finally understood why Gu Jue was looking so deeply anxious.
It must have been because she had abdominal pain earlier, right?
But it really wasn’t that painful!
The main thing is, this man was too worried about her, cared about her too much.
Su Wan reached back and hugged his waist, drawing the two of them closer together, sharing tender closeness.
"Actually, I was thinking, after the little mermaid in my belly is born, I don’t plan on having any more children either. We both are very busy and really don’t have much time to take good care of our children. Having too many without properly accompanying and looking after them, teaching them, that would be irresponsible to the children and unfair to the ones we’ve already had. However..."
Su Wan lifted her head, smiling gently at the stern-faced Commander Gu, and said, "There are many other methods if we don’t want to have children anymore, have you forgotten? I studied medicine too."
