Chapter 507: Chapter 507 My Tail is Prettier, Want to Take a Look?
Gu Jue discussed today’s happenings at the Imperial Palace with his wife, pursing his lips as he said, "Those aristocrats want to marry Ruanruan, but in fact, they are just looking for an alliance through marriage."
Su Wan nodded, "They probably do have that in mind, but it’s indeed infuriating, after all, Ruanruan is still young."
"What upsets me is, when Xiaoyan grows up a little more, will there also be people who have their sights set on her?"
Su Wan was taken aback, then suddenly understood why her husband, the great Commander, had been in such a low mood today.
With patience, she said, "Our Xiaoyan is so well-behaved and cute, so beautiful, and because of you, those people will certainly want to ask for her hand in the future. But we will be screening them, so don’t worry."
Gu Jue frowned, "She doesn’t necessarily have to marry. We can protect her for a lifetime."
Su Wan felt a bit helpless, "Ajue, it’s too early to think about this now. When she grows up, let’s let Xiaoyan make her own decision, okay? Of course, we will certainly screen her suitors, and if the person is not right, we definitely won’t let her be deceived."
Gu Jue was still not completely satisfied with the answer, but seeing that his wife looked a bit tired and knowing she had had a hard day and also used her superpower, he nodded, agreeing for the time being.
Su Wan sighed, suddenly worried about her future son-in-law.
Since there was still some work to do at Su Family’s restaurant, Su Wan settled the little ones and returned to the study, began handling branch-related matters on the holographic computer.
The menu was already set in place, and Su Family’s restaurant had a good reputation here. However, whether it was because they had just moved or for some other reason, the restaurant’s business had seen a declining trend lately.
Is it not adapting to Landis Planet?
Su Wan decided to schedule visits to each branch to observe and investigate the situation in order to identify the specific causes.
At night, when she was resting, she told Gu Jue about the issue and he was, of course, supportive. He just didn’t want her to overwork herself and also...
"Wanwan, registration for the Probationary Commander assessment is about to start. Because we’ve now moved to Landis Planet, the Starship Guard Team will increase their numbers, so we need to select ten Probationary Commanders."
Su Wan’s eyes widened, "Really? Is my experience a bit too shallow?"
Gu Jue: "Experience is one aspect, but combat power is also an important factor to consider. If you’re truly interested, you can go and register with Agros tomorrow."
"Alright!" Su Wan was excited one moment and the next, a bit worried as she said, "I have the restaurant to look after, and I need to prepare for the Probationary Commander exam, so the children..."
Gu Jue kissed her forehead and said, "I will be more available these days. Unless something major comes up that requires me, I’ll spend more time with the children."
The thought of his precious daughter getting married in the future left the old father with a tinge of melancholy, wishing to spend more time with his beloved daughter.
Of course, that was also an excuse to spend time with Little Gu Yu.
As for Xiaochen, the child was fully capable of standing on his own two feet. He still went to the Imperial Palace for lessons on time, and after class, he could make his way home on his own.
Su Wan wrapped her arms around Gu Jue’s neck, "Ajue, you are so wonderful!"
"Mhm, my tail is even better, want to take a look..."
"..."
**
The next day, Su Wan still went to the military department first to get the registration for the Probationary Commander sorted out, but when she went looking for her superior, Agros, she happened to run into Pandora there as well.
She was there for the Probationary Commander as well.
Agros said, "The mainframe Bai Ze will have an entire set of selection criteria. You can go back, and anyone in your squad who is interested can sign up, but not everyone will pass this registration."
Su Wan nodded, "Understood."
Agros briefed the two of them on some precautions and other matters, then let them leave.
As Su Wan and Pandora walked side by side out of the place, Su Wan noticed there was a hint of a bruise at the corner of Pandora’s eye, "Pandora, what happened to your eye?"
"Oh, Su Xiaoge hit me."
"What?!"
Su Wan was so shocked she nearly took a tumble, speaking both incredulously and angrily, "How could Second Brother hit someone? I’m going to send him a message right now and give him a good scolding!"
Pandora, looking surprised, said, "Why scold him?"
"Because he hit you."
"Oh, it’s fine, I hit him too."
"..."
It turned out that the two of them had been sparring at home and accidentally hit each other. Since they weren’t wearing mecha suits, it was all barehanded, so Pandora ended up with a bruised eye, and Su Xiaoge with a swollen mouth.
Su Wan twitched the corners of her mouth.
It seemed that everyone’s love was different indeed.
Back in the squad’s office, Su Wan reported on signing up for the Probationary Commander exam, and Luo Jina was the first to yawn, "This has nothing to do with me; Xiaowan, I’ll be cheering for you guys when the time comes!"
Alex immediately said, "I want to sign up! I want to sign up!"
Luo Jina: "With the way you are, you’d be fine as a frontline soldier; trying for Probationary Commander, you definitely won’t pass!"
Alex instantly deflated, "My dear wife, if you’re not going to encourage me that’s one thing, but why demoralize me?"
"There there, I was wrong. How about a sweet kiss to encourage you?"
"Yes!"
Su Wan couldn’t take it anymore and coughed loudly twice. This was why they say office romances are no good!
She turned around to inform her other teammates about the test, and everyone except for the medic, Joe, decided to sign up and give it a try.
At that moment, Lin Yu suddenly asked, "If we pass and become Probationary Commanders, does it mean we’ll have to leave the Royal Star Fleet?"
The others were taken aback and looked at Su Wan.
Su Wan nodded, "Yes, they’re going to expand the Starship Fleet, which is why ten new fleets are being formed, and they need Probationary Commanders. Those who either don’t sign up or don’t pass the exam have two choices: one is to stay with the Royal Star Fleet, and the other is to apply for a position with the new fleets’ internal affairs."
Everyone fell silent. Indeed, there was no such thing as a never-ending party; sometimes, parting is inevitable.
Everyone still signed up, and then Luo Jina approached Su Wan and said, "Xiaowan, I’ll apply to the logistics department of whichever fleet you’re in when the time comes!"
Su Wan: "Are you so confident that I’ll pass the exam? Besides, why not go with your Alex?"
"Him? He probably won’t pass. He’s good in combat but not so much in the brains department. Plus, if you can’t pass, then who can?"
No matter what, Luo Jina’s confidence in her friend was definitely stronger than in her husband.
Over on the side, Sheng An had actually overheard Luo Jina talking to Su Wan. She frowned slightly, and just then, a message popped up on her computer. It was Zhuo Yun inviting her to have dinner at the Su Family restaurant after work.
Sheng An replied with a simple "Okay."
