Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Feeling Disappointed in Him
Chen Nuan?
Su Wan was very certain that she didn’t know this person, but since they had sought her out, there must be some matter, right?
She turned around and called for Luo Jina, "Jina, I have something to deal with, could you keep Xiaoyan company for a bit?"
"Sure!" Luo Jina agreed cheerfully, as she was particularly fond of Xiaoyan.
Su Wan tenderly instructed her daughter, then stood up and walked outside. She hadn’t gone far when someone chased after her from behind.
Su Wan turned back and saw an urgent-looking Lin Yu, "Lin Yu, what’s wrong?"
"Chen Nuan... you don’t need to meet her. I’ll go see her myself!"
Su Wan glanced at the worry and restlessness in Lin Yu’s eyes. She was an intelligent person and guessed that this Chen Nuan might have some connection to Lin Yu.
Perhaps, she was also related to her?
Su Wan calmly asked, "What does she want with me? Do you know?"
"I..."
"Lin Yu, we’ve known each other for many years. I’ve treated you as a friend and partner, but I don’t like being deceived or betrayed."
These words weren’t too harsh, after all, everyone was a member of the same team. Who would entrust their back to you if there wasn’t deep trust?
Lin Yu had a guilty and nervous expression, "Xiaowan... Chen Nuan is my ex-girlfriend. She might have some misunderstandings. I’ll handle it!"
Su Wan looked at Lin Yu and suddenly said, "You go back to the office."
"Xiaowan?"
"I order you to go back as your commander."
"..."
Lin Yu had no choice but to turn around and go back, while Su Wan headed towards the main entrance. She was aware of Lin Yu’s feelings for her in the past, but given that he had truly stepped back into just a friend’s role and became a member of the Royal Star Fleet, never showing any inappropriate behavior or words, Su Wan had stopped dwelling on the matter.
But intuition told her that perhaps Lin Yu had betrayed her trust.
By the time Su Wan reached the entrance and saw the young woman with long hair and a somewhat timid expression, she finally understood.
When Chen Nuan saw Su Wan, she was also very nervous. She was a smart girl and after being with Lin Yu for a while, she could tell that his feelings for her weren’t as deep as hers for him.
Moreover, someone had once told Chen Nuan that her eyes resembled those of Madam Su Wan, the wife of Commander Gu.
So, when Lin Yu said he was only using her as a stand-in, and considering that Su Wan and Lin Yu were former classmates and now teammates, Chen Nuan had her suspicions.
And then, she showed up here.
The outside world rumored that Madam Su Wan, the Commander’s wife, was a very gentle person. At the same time, she was an exceptional Interstellar Warrior and also the owner of the Su Family restaurant.
In the presence of the perfect Su Wan, Chen Nuan immediately became timid. She said somewhat nervously, "Hello, my name is Chen Nuan. I’m really sorry for bothering you so suddenly..."
Su Wan: "There’s a sofa over there. Let’s go sit in the visiting area and talk."
"Oh, yes, yes."
Su Wan could feel her nerves shaking as they sat down, and she spoke softly, "Just tell me whatever it is you need to discuss."
"I, I have some private matters to discuss, can we talk about them here?"
"Of course, I’ll turn off the sound in this section." Su Wan looked up and commanded Vermilion Bird, "Vermilion Bird, activate the sound barrier for this small visiting area."
"Yes."
Chen Nuan looked around in confusion, clenching her lips nervously before lowering her voice to say, "I, I am Lin Yu’s ex-girlfriend. We were fine until yesterday when he broke up with me."
Su Wan remained impassive.
Chen Nuan picked up her cup, holding it tightly with both hands, and said, "I know that Lin Yu never actually loved me, but I don’t care, I love him very much, and I want to be with him."
Su Wan let out a light laugh, "Then you should go find him."
"I’ve already looked for him; he was very resolute about breaking up with me. I think that after I come to you, he will come looking for me."
Su Wan’s eyebrows lifted slightly; she did look at this Chen Nuan somewhat surprisedly. Although Chen Nuan’s brows and eyes were a little similar to hers, her overall facial features were too delicate.
However, in her eyes, there was a persistent light.
Su Wan, "Alright, let’s not talk about anything else. Finish this coffee, and then you can leave."
Chen Nuan, "Did I, perhaps, disturb you?"
Su Wan nodded, "Yes, I am actually quite busy now, and I need to spend more time with my family."
Su Wan spoke in a consistently calm manner, showing no sign of anger, which made Chen Nuan subconsciously relax.
She said cautiously, "Then okay, before I leave, may I ask you a question?"
"Ask away."
"What are your feelings towards Lin Yu...?"
"Friendship, it always was. However..." Su Wan had just finished her cup of coffee, she stood up and walked out, her tone laden with deep disappointment, "However, he betrayed my friendship and trust in him."
"I’m sorry, I..."
"No, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Su Wan pushed the door open and walked out, instructing Vermilion Bird to deactivate the sound shield on the meeting room and walked back towards the office of the ninth squad.
Lin Yu was fidgeting restlessly.
He had just received a message from Chen Nuan on his light-brain and looked up to see Su Wan walking in from outside.
Lin Yu sprang to his feet.
Su Wan, however, did not even look at him, walked straight past, and then went over to Luo Jina’s desk to pick up their daughter Xiaoyan.
"Xiaoyan, let’s go find Daddy for lunch, alright?"
"Okay!" The beautiful little girl reached out to hug her mother, then buried her face in her embrace.
Sister Jina was so mean, just now she snatched away her cotton candy to eat!
Su Wan walked out holding her child, while Lin Yu stood still for a few seconds, then turned and ran out, but he went downstairs to the meeting room to find Chen Nuan.
Sheng An, who had witnessed all of this, shook her head helplessly.
As a friend, she really did warn Lin Yu. It seems, indeed there is no such thing as an everlasting feast in the world.
When Su Wan arrived at Gu Jue’s private lounge with Xiaoyan in her arms, Gu Jue had not yet returned, so she put her daughter down and then went to the kitchen to see what she could make.
Gu Jue’s private lounge, where all the fittings were of course the most complete, and since Su Wan would often come over to cook, the fridge was stuffed full of various ingredients.
About ten minutes later, Gu Jue pushed the door open and walked in from outside. He went over to Su Wan, wrapping his arm around her waist, "I had them prepare it to be delivered. Don’t do it, it’s too tiring."
Su Wan turned her head, "It’s alright, it’ll be done quickly. Today we’ll have tomato beef brisket noodles."
Gu Jue, however, looked at her face and keenly said, "Wanwan, you’re not happy? Did something happen?"
