Chapter 518: Chapter 518 Xiaoyan Close-up
Unlike Little Gu Chen,
Little Gu Chen, although he too will face many dangers in the future, is already grown and can control his superpower well, understanding a great deal as well.
His superpower is very offensive.
It could be said that it’s difficult for ordinary people to harm this child; otherwise, Gu Jue would not have been willing to expose his son to danger.
It was to let the child grow.
But Little Gu Yan was still too young; her spatial superpower had no offensive capability, she was timid, and her nature was gentle...
Gu Jue took a deep breath, "I’ve got it, you must keep this a secret for me."
"Of course!"
**
From now on, Su Wan would bring Little Gu Yan whenever she went anywhere, and since Little Gu Yu got along well with Xiaoluo from the Lin Ranyue family, Su Wan sent him over there.
During the day, Xiaochen would still go to the Imperial Palace; he had already started to learn certain things from Gu Zilan.
Sitting in the flyer, Su Wan dropped Xiaochen off at the entrance of the Imperial Palace.
She also ached for her eldest son. At such a young age, he already had to learn so much and shoulder so much.
But Xiaochen said very seriously, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ll go to the Imperial Palace during the day and will return home at night. Mainly, if I do well as a future king, then I can protect our family! Mostly, I can protect Little Gu Yan!"
"Xiaochen is really awesome!"
At this moment, Su Yun, in uniform, and his colleagues happened to pass by on their way to see Gu Zilan for some matter and overheard the conversation between mother and son.
Su Yun was slightly stunned.
Over the years, the relationship between him and his sister had somewhat eased, mainly thanks to Lan Rui, who often took the children to Lin Ranyue’s place and would frequently run into Su Wan.
Su Wan looked up and nodded to Su Yun, then gave a few more instructions to Xiaochen, watched him walk towards Gu Zilan, then turned to get back on the flyer and headed to the military department with her daughter.
Su Yun was a bit distracted all day, not sure what he was thinking about, and didn’t even notice when Little Gu Chen walked up to him.
Little Gu Chen, dressed in a white uniform adorned with golden buttons, appeared as a cute young boy at home, but once he entered the Imperial Palace, he put on a stern face, exuding an aura similar to Commander Gu’s; no one dared to look down upon him.
Little Gu Chen asked in confusion, "Uncle Su Yun, why are you lost in thought?"
The child wasn’t actually close to Su Yun, but this address of ’uncle’ was out of politeness.
Su Yun had never considered himself a long-standing uncle, and only when he heard Little Gu Chen’s voice did he snap back to reality. After a moment of silence, he said, "Xiaochen, you are so young and all alone in the Imperial Palace having to study so much. Aren’t you... unhappy, angry at your parents’ decision?"
Little Gu Chen said with bewilderment, "It wasn’t my parents’ choice, it was mine."
Su Yun was taken aback, "Yours?"
"Yes. At first, I indeed missed my parents, but I wanted to protect Mom, so I thought about getting stronger to protect her. Also, there was that time when Dad went missing for a long while, and Mom faced danger alone to find him. I hated myself for not growing up faster, becoming very powerful, so that I could have gone with Mom to rescue Dad!"
Little Gu Chen was very frustrated about that incident, but thankfully, his parents returned safely.
Su Yun fell into thought.
Little Gu Chen continued, "Later on, among us siblings, the youngest sister is the least powerful, so I have to work even harder to get stronger to properly protect her. That’s what a good big brother should do!"
"Although studying in the Imperial Palace was very tedious and tiring, at times, I actually enjoyed it,"
In fact, Little Gu Chen had been muttering on and on for a long time, and after he left, Su Yun still hadn’t come around.
In his head, he kept replaying Xiaochen’s words: Protecting his sister was what a good brother should do!
Over the years, Su Yun had some regrets for not treating his sister Xiaoyan better in their childhood, which caused the siblings to drift apart.
But in his heart, he still resented his parents for abandoning him when he was so young, leaving him in the Beastman Breeding Center.
Now, the Beastman Breeding Center was long gone; in fact, the person who had abolished the place was none other than Xiaowan’s husband, Gu Jue.
Su Yun had always insisted that if he hadn’t grown up alone in the Beastman Breeding Center, he wouldn’t have grown distant from his sister Xiaowan.
But what about the reality?
He wasn’t even as good as the few-year-old Xiaochen because he wasn’t a good brother at all!
Su Wan had no idea that Little Gu Chen had just given Su Yun a lesson that was deeply educational. She had already arrived at the military base with her daughter, who was like a little doll.
The Interstellar Warriors at the military base were instantly abuzz!
No one ever brought a child to the military base before, cough, but this pretty three-and-a-half-year-old little girl was no ordinary child!
She was Commander Gu’s darling!
Little Gu Yan was a bit shy, clinging to her mother the whole time, until they reached the office of the Ninth Squad; that was when the little girl lifted her face from her mother’s embrace and earnestly called out to several people, "Auntie, Uncle."
Finally, when they reached Luo Jina, the little girl said in her milky voice, "Hello, Sister Jina."
Luo Jina melted on the spot and hugged the little girl, saying, "Daughters are the best, why can’t I have the ability to have one myself?"
The Luo Family had always preferred girls, and they had said before, have a daughter, and she would take the Luo family name.
It’s just that Luo Jina’s first child was a son, which made Alex extremely happy, but Luo Jina herself wasn’t too excited. Thankfully, Alex’s family was overjoyed and took over the child’s care completely.
Luo Jina was especially fond of Xiaoyan, even obliging to lower her generation in front of her comrades, unbothered by it.
She squatted in front of Xiaoyan and asked, "Xiaoyan, will you give Jina sister a cuddle, okay?"
Perhaps because she had seen Luo Jina the most, Xiaoyan liked her as well, and moved closer, pressing her little cheek against Luo Jina’s.
Luo Jina was instantly satisfied!
Su Wan came over and picked up her daughter, saying, "Okay, okay, you all go back to work now."
The people dispersed, and Su Wan placed her daughter in a little chair next to her own seat, taking out some sweets and a juice specially made for her daughter from the Space Button.
"Xiaoyan, be good and play here by yourself, Mommy has to work for a while, but I’ll be with you as soon as I’m done, okay?"
Xiaoyan, holding a bunch of delicious treats made by her mother, nodded vigorously!
From afar, Lin Yu watched the beautiful mother-daughter interaction with a faint hint of sadness flickering in his eyes.
Everyone began to get busy with their work, and just before noon when it was almost time to take a break, Su Wan’s brain-computer suddenly made a sound. It was a message from an Interstellar Warrior on the first floor.
"Team Su, there’s a woman named Chen Nuan at the military base entrance looking for you."
