Chapter 453: Chapter 453: The Adorable Little Mermaid Baby, Just Thinking About It Melts My Heart
Cecilia was always someone who spoke her mind and acted on her thoughts.
Su Ni had long since understood her character.
So when he heard her speak in that way, he didn’t think too much about it and instead fell into contemplation.
Deep down, he also felt a sense of guilt toward his sister Xiaowan. Although he said he wouldn’t bask in her glory or ride on her coattails, unconsciously, she had still helped him a lot.
For example, Ouyang Qing, the senior military doctor— if it weren’t for Xiaowan’s sake, how would she agree to help them with embryo cultivation?
In fact, Su Ni saw online comments saying that Xiaowan was really good to that non-blood-related brother, Su Xiaoge.
But in reality, if he had been nicer to Xiaowan since childhood, someone with her personality would probably treat him even better now.
Su Ni nodded, "Mm, I’ll go write it!"
A soft look flashed across Cecilia’s eyes, "Good luck."
With his fighting spirit high and inspiration overflowing, Su Ni went off to write songs again. Then, after thinking for a moment, Cecilia decided to share the news with Lan Rui.
Cecilia: Su Ni is going to hold a farewell concert. I told him to write a song for Xiaowan.
Upon reading this, Lan Rui thought it was a great idea!
She pondered for a moment, realizin that this way, Ajue would be outshined by his younger brother, and immediately felt a sense of urgency.
When Su Yun got off work from the Mecha Research Center and returned home, he saw his usually enthusiastic wife sitting there with a frown, unable to eat even her favorite strawberry little cakes.
Su Yun: "Xiaorui, are you feeling unwell? Should we visit the medical center to have it checked out?"
Lan Rui looked up. She saw Su Yun wearing glasses, his whole demeanor that of someone who doesn’t usually joke or laugh... Su Yun wasn’t like this in the early years; he used to buy her favorite things to make her happy.
Okay, at that time, he had his motives.
Now, Su Yun seemed suddenly indifferent to everything.
Lan Rui shook her head and quickly got up to take Su Yun’s coat, "I’m fine. How about you? How was work today? Weren’t you saying there was a shapeshifting Mecha project you’ve been trying to crack the most difficult part?"
Su Yun’s eyes lit up a bit when it came to his own work.
He nodded, "Yes, the hardest phase has been developed, but some of the key parts require very rare materials that prevent mass production; we can only make miniature prototypes. The lab is currently researching to see if there’s a substitute material available."
Lan Rui’s eyes shone, "Miniature prototypes? You mean the small Mechas? Can children play with them?"
Su Yun thought Lan Rui was planning to get one for their future child and said, "These Mechas are high-level; ordinary people can’t operate them."
Lan Rui: "The child in Xiaowan’s family seems to have a high Beast Transformation Level. Can he play with it?"
Su Yun was taken aback, "You want to give it to Xiaowan’s child?"
Lan Rui blankly replied, "Yes, who else would we give it to?"
Su Yun fell silent. Had his mermaid wife become silly from her pregnancy? Wasn’t their own child about to be born?
Obviously, seeing her husband’s silence, Lan Rui also realized this matter. She said, "Our baby hasn’t been born yet, and we don’t know what he likes. But I remember Little Gu Chen is very smart and loves Mecha, and his Beast Transformation Level is quite high. It would be perfect to give it to him."
Su Yun also recalled, the child Xiaochen was indeed outstanding, with some even saying he might not turn out to be inferior to Commander Gu in the future.
He looked at his very excited wife, "Why did you suddenly think of giving a gift to Xiaochen?"
Lan Rui: "You are his great uncle, after all. It’s only proper for us to give the child gifts. Besides, I really hope you can improve your relationship with Xiaowan. But since we can’t get through to Commander Gu or Xiaowan, let’s try connecting through the child!"
"Our goal is to first make Xiaochen call you great uncle and call me great aunt!"
The strained relationship with his sister Wanwan had always been a hurdle in Su Yun’s heart.
He actually knew that the relationship between him and his sister had turned out the way it was today mostly because of him.
But time couldn’t flow backwards, and he had no way of changing the things he had done in the past.
His wife wanted to ease the tension between them, which softened Su Yun’s heart a bit. He said, "Alright, I’ll think of a way."
"Yes!" Lan Rui rushed over, excitedly embracing Su Yun, but ended up bumping into her own belly, grimacing in pain as tears almost spurted out.
Su Yun was alarmed!
"Xiaorui, what’s wrong?"
"I, I think I’m going to give birth!"
"!!!!!"
**
Su Wan received a communication from her mother Lin Ranyue in the evening, informing her that Lan Rui had given birth.
It turns out that Su Yun had agreed to marry Lan Rui initially because she was pregnant.
Not to mention anything else, Su Yun unexpectedly had a mysterious fondness for children. The reason he had hated Lan Rui so much initially was because she decisively aborted their first child.
Luckily, the child was back, meaning their connection had not been severed.
Su Wan: "That’s good, when I have my own in the future, I can share experiences with her on how to take care of mermaid eggs."
Lin Ranyue, smiling, said, "She gave birth to a Mermaid Beastman, so in the future, the child might take after her more."
Su Wan: "Genetics are mysterious, and moreover, it shouldn’t be too much like Lan Rui. What if this child becomes Neptune in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ranyue agreed; the Mermaid Clan were innately romantic, ready to come together when the feeling was right, and part when it wasn’t.
Ah, that would not do.
Watching her mother seriously start to worry about her little grandson, Su Wan felt that this kind of domestic conversation was filled with warmth.
After finishing the call with her mother, Gu Jue just happened to finish a meeting in his study; the couple locked eyes.
"I..."
"Ajue..."
Both speaking at the same time, the husband and wife who had lived together for many years and deeply loved each other, saw their understanding of each other grow day by day.
Tenderness filled Gu Jue’s eyes, "Wanwan, you go first."
"Ajue, Su Yun’s child with Lan Rui was born, and it’s a mermaid too. I plan to send their child a gift."
Although, both of the child’s parents had quite a few flaws, the child was innocent after all. Just born, the child was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and Su Wan still remembered how Xiaoluo looked when he was first born, swimming back and forth in the pool, a delicate and adorable mermaid fry, exceptionally endearing!
Just thinking about it could melt her heart!
Not to mention, Su Wan was a mermaid herself, and she was about to give birth to a mermaid fry as well!
Loving the house for the crow’s sake, loving the fish for the fry’s.
Gu Jue looked at her and the charm in her eyes and brows, and nodded, "Hm, what do you want to send?"
"I haven’t thought of it yet. Oh, Ajue, what were you going to say?"
Commander Gu’s lips curved slightly, "Wanwan, we’ve located the coordinates of the Insectoid’s main base planet. The Universe Alliance needs to dispatch an elite starship fleet to surround and eliminate them."
