Chapter 481: Chapter 481: It’s So Uncomfortable Without Water to Soak My Tail
Su Yun nodded, then stood up and took a few steps before turning back to say seriously, "Mom, I believe in Xiaowan and the others too, they will definitely come back safe and sound."
"Mmm."
Since Cecilia had also just succeeded in getting pregnant and her body was in an unstable condition, Lin Ranyue sent her second son back home and told him to hurry back to be with his wife.
When the brothers left the house and were boarding their respective flyers, Su Ni spoke up, "Brother, let’s come and accompany Mom more when we have time. And about Grandpa, let’s not tell him for now."
Su Yun replied, "Once Xiaorui has given birth, I will come to accompany Mom more often. As for Grandpa’s side... he already knows. He has started to take up the management of the Su Family restaurant again."
Su Ni was stunned, then said, "That’s true, with Xiaowan gone, there’s a whole bunch of things to handle at the Su Family restaurant, but Grandpa is so old now..."
Su Yun: "Xiaowan must have made full preparations before she left, and over the years, the rules she has set are effective. As long as all the restaurants follow them, there shouldn’t be any problems. It’s just that... with her and Commander Gu both gone, some opponents will probably start getting restless."
Su Ni felt a weight sink in his heart.
With a heavy heart, he said goodbye to his brother, boarded the flyer, and upon returning home, saw Cecilia lying and resting in the bedroom.
Although Cecilia was weak, her eyes were calm and composed, "Xiaoni, what’s wrong? How is your mother’s condition?"
"Mom looks a bit haggard, but she’s in good spirits and strong. She firmly believes that Xiaowan and the others will definitely come back safe. When Xiaowan was in a coma as a child, Mom endured through it just like this."
Cecilia nodded, "I believe too, that Xiaowan and Commander Gu will come back safely. Since that’s the case, why do you still look so troubled?"
"With Xiaowan gone, and Commander Gu missing, those rivals of the Su Family restaurant have started stirring again, and Grandpa has to come out of retirement at such an old age... Cecilia, I’m thinking, once your condition stabilizes a bit, I’ll go to the restaurant to help Grandpa."
Of all the siblings, Su Ni, though a pure human, was the one who had it easiest.
When he wanted to sing or act in movies, his family supported him.
The only person he ever loved was Cecilia, and he finally succeeded in marrying her and being together.
When he was young, he didn’t care much about his family, only wanting to pursue his own dreams. Now, he realizes that he was actually quite selfish.
Su Ni was worried that Cecilia would disagree, so he quickly added, "The Su Family restaurant also has my share, you know. When we got married, Grandpa gave it to me. I can’t just watch idly as the Su Family restaurant gets bullied."
Cecilia said helplessly, "I’m not stopping you from going, but with your mind... Anyway, although you’ve retired from the scene, your influence is still there. Wait a minute, let me make a plan, and then we can find some time to go see Grandpa together."
"Ah, just tell me how to plan, and I’ll do it. You just rest!"
Cecilia: "The question is, can you do the marketing plan? Forget it, I’ll explain, you listen to me, and go work on the design."
"Sure!"
The young couple seriously started working on marketing and other preparations for the restaurant, planning to compile their materials and then go see the old master.
Xiaowan will definitely come back.
So what they had to do was, during this time, to help Grandpa together and protect the Su Family restaurant!
Meanwhile, Su Yun had also rushed to the hospital ward. Lan Rui, with her hand on her belly, was sullenly scrolling through messages on her light-brain, with her cousin Bai Qianqian sitting in a chair next to her.
Bai Qianqian said, "Cousin, you should stop looking at those messy news stories. Don’t let them affect your mood; they’re definitely all spouting nonsense! My husband said, Su Wan and the others will surely come back safely."
Lan Rui: "Do you believe what your husband says that much?"
"Of course, my husband is Su Wan’s immediate superior, after all. He said that Su Wan just took an extended leave, that’s all."
"I hope that she really just took an extended leave too."
At that moment, the two of them noticed Su Yun had arrived, and Bai Qianqian immediately got up, giving up her seat.
She said, "Brother-in-law, you’re here? You continue to keep cousin company then, I’m going home to find my husband!"
Ever since this young lady married Agros, she had been bubbling over with happiness every day. Although Agros wasn’t like other husbands who knew how to dote on Bai Qianqian, she felt extremely happy nonetheless.
After Bai Qianqian left, Su Yun sat down and asked, "How are you feeling today?"
Lan Rui, clutching her stomach, shook her head, "Not too good, I want to give birth to the mermaid egg soon!"
After saying this, she looked around and then whispered, "Ah Yun, I heard that the Medical Center Director has suspended Ouyang Qing! It seems to be related to Xiaowan’s family’s child!"
Su Yun was startled, "What?"
"I heard a group of doctors saying that the Director, along with the Beastman Nurturing Base’s Director, they want to send Xiaowan’s child there! As for the specifics, it’s not very clear, it’s so strange."
Su Yun’s heart skipped a beat.
Seeing Su Yun’s expression, Lan Rui’s face instantly changed, and she asked with confusion, "Ah Yun, what’s wrong?"
"I’m fine. I think maybe Xiaowan’s children are too powerful, so those people... probably want to do research," he conjectured.
"Yeah, but that’s too much, isn’t it? Are they taking advantage of the fact that Xiaowan and Commander Gu are not home?"
Su Yun hummed an acknowledgment, then said, "I heard from my mom that the kids are now at the Imperial Palace, safe and sound."
"That’s a relief," Lan Rui sighed. She suggested, "After I give birth and recover a little, let’s go visit the kids together, shall we?"
Su Yun, who always had a fondness for children, felt a very strong sense of kinship for the unborn nieces and nephews who might be sent to the Beastman Breeding Center.
After all, he himself had been sent...
Su Yun nodded, "Okay."
**
On Nameless Star, in the Insect Nest.
Su Wan had just finished off a wave of the Insect Clan, feeling somewhat tired, her body still stained with the green blood of the insectoids.
She used a no-rinse cleanser to wipe down her body, a few small drops of which could cleanse her skin.
Su Wan lamented to Vermilion Bird, "I can’t soak my tail anymore; it’s so uncomfortable."
Vermilion Bird suggested, "There’s still drinkable water in the Button Space, should I pour some on your tail?"
Su Wan shook her head, "Forget it, let’s save it for drinking. I certainly don’t like drinking the blood of insectoids."
Although they had started relying on the bodies of Insect Beasts as their main food source—this was precisely why the intelligent Insectoids were terrified of Su Wan and her partner.
Not only could they beat them senseless, but they could also consume those unintelligent Insect Beasts... This couple must be demons!
Someone come quickly and take these two away!
After cleaning up the mess on her body, Su Wan stepped out of the tent, looked around, and didn’t see Gu Jue anywhere.
She spoke, "Vermilion Bird, contact White Tiger and ask where Commander Ajue is."
