Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Mommy, Why Are You Unhappy?
If you really love someone, no matter how busy you are, you can feel the change in her mood the moment she slightly furrows her brows.
At that time, Commander Gu Jue was looking at his wife with concern.
Su Wan’s heart warmed, and she said, "It’s nothing, I’ll start cooking. You go and keep Xiaoyan company first."
Gu Jue, hearing her say this, could only nod his head and then turned to enter the room inside, seeing his daughter sitting on the soft sofa.
The little girl called out in a soft and delicate voice, "Daddy!"
"Mhm, was Xiaoyan a good girl today?"
"Good!"
Gu Jue felt that sometimes it was really magical, every time he saw his tender and well-behaved daughter, it was as if his ice-elemental special ability was about to melt away.
He patiently sat down beside his daughter and thought for a moment before asking, "Xiaoyan, did someone argue with your mommy today?"
"No."
"Then why is mommy unhappy?"
Xiaoyan, hugging Little Mushroom, tried hard to think. The little girl wasn’t quite sure, but she still tried to recount what had happened that day.
"Mommy took me to her office; she was busy all the time. Later, someone came to see her, and she asked me to play with Jina first. But Jina is really mean, she even stole my candy."
Gu Jue narrowed his eyes, "So, she went out halfway, someone came to see her, and then she became a bit unhappy after coming back?"
The little girl nodded, not fully understanding.
So the key issue was that Su Wan had gone out halfway and met someone.
White Tiger immediately said, "Master, I can retrieve the surveillance footage to see who the lady met, to find out who upset her!"
Gu Jue’s brow twitched and then he said, "No need."
If he really did that, it would seem like he was surveilling Wanwan. Considering Wanwan’s current state, she should be able to handle the matter.
Of course, if someone did bully Wanwan, Gu Jue wouldn’t let that person off.
After a while, Su Wan got lunch ready. She even prepared a special bowl for Xiaoyan, tying an apron decorated with small flowers around her.
The little girl sat in her child’s chair, eating on her own with a spoon.
Su Wan then said, "I’m definitely going all out to pass the probationary commander exam, but once I do, I’ll have to part ways with my Ninth Squad comrades. Many people from our Ninth Squad passed the preliminary test. Moreover, I feel that Pandora and Sheng An both have a chance."
"You don’t need to feel too sentimental. Even if you end up in different fleets, you can still get together during your free time."
"Yeah, I know. It’s probably just because we’ve all been together for so many years."
Gu Jue nodded, then picked out the big pieces of meat from his bowl and placed them into Su Wan’s bowl. Xiaoyan, watching this, also picked up her spoon and gave the meat from her bowl to mommy!
Su Wan knew that Gu Jue didn’t really believe her, but he cared about her, worried about her, so he didn’t probe any deeper.
And there’s the sweet little angel of a daughter...
A big smile appeared on Su Wan’s face. She said, "I feel so blessed."
"I feel blessed too."
Xiaoyan looked at daddy and then at mommy and finally said solemnly, "I’m blessed too!"
If only her Brother Little Mushroom could be by her side, then she would be the most blessed of all.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu’s eyes were red as he stared at Chen Nuan in the living room, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you."
"Then why did you look for Xiaowan!"
Chen Nuan lifted her head, her eyes red-rimmed, but she spoke stubbornly, "Lin Yu, I admit, Su Wan is a very perfect person. She’s too wonderful, beautiful, gentle, strong, and especially intelligent. If I were a man, I would be attracted to her too."
"She has her own happy family, with a very outstanding, deeply loving husband! Now Commander Gu and his wife have also been voted the most perfect couple by our entire Star Network!"
Lin Yu’s hands braced against the table, "What are you saying all this for? What exactly did you say to her?"
Chen Nuan was actually frightened by Lin Yu’s demeanor, but she had reached this point and felt she must fight for her love.
Chen Nuan stated earnestly, "I told her, I love you."
"You!"
"Lin Yu, Su Wan is good, but she doesn’t love you, and she never will. I came here this time to tell you that I love you, even if it means being someone else’s substitute, I’m willing!"
After saying all that, Chen Nuan got up and left quickly, her pace swift—in her heart she both hoped Lin Yu would chase after her and did not want him to, to continue their argument.
By the time she boarded the flyer and it took off, she had used up all her courage.
Chen Nuan lay there, weeping bitterly.
As for Lin Yu on this end, he did want to chase after Chen Nuan but he didn’t know what he would say if he caught up, especially since Chen Nuan’s visit to Su Wan had become an established fact.
His heart was in turmoil.
He was also worried that Su Wan would be angry.
After enduring the whole morning, the moment Su Wan returned to the office in the afternoon, Lin Yu immediately got up and walked over to her.
"Xiaowan, do you have time now? I’d like to talk."
"No time, I have to prepare for the Probationary Commander exam," Su Wan said, then lifted her head and stated seriously, "I don’t know if you’ll pass, but I definitely will."
Lin Yu was taken aback.
But Su Wan had already turned, activating the virtual screen of the light brain, while the little girl quietly sat beside her mother, occasionally casting curious glances at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu finally turned away, leaving dejectedly.
Others also noticed the odd atmosphere between them; Luo Jina simply couldn’t understand and messaged Sheng An.
Sheng An: Nothing’s wrong, don’t poke your nose into it.
After replying to Luo Jina’s message, she lifted her head and looked worriedly toward Su Wan.
When it was time to leave work in the evening, after everyone had left, Sheng An went over to Su Wan and whispered, "Xiaowan, are you okay?"
Su Wan was playing with her daughter. She looked up.
Sheng An: "I mean, about Lin Yu’s matter, don’t be angry."
Su Wan sighed, "How should I put it, I’ve always treated him as a friend, even as a partner to face death with. We had already cleared up that misunderstanding before, and I clarified my own stance, but for some reason, him bringing a girlfriend to confront me about this matter makes me very angry."
This behavior was truly contemptible!
Sheng An nodded, "I understand, I get it, but since he has betrayed your trust, you don’t need to let him bother you."
"Oh, I’m not bothered, Xiao’an, don’t worry about me. Actually, after going out for lunch with Ajue and Xiaoyan at noon, I felt much less bothered."
Seeing Su Wan’s demeanor truly relaxed, Sheng An was finally reassured.
After picking up her daughter and saying goodbye to Sheng An, Su Wan went to meet with Gu Jue.
They were going to the Imperial Palace first, to pick up Little Gu Chen... Even though Little Gu Chen could go home by himself, Su Wan still made it a point to pick up the child whenever she had time.
No matter how smart and sensible, a child is still a child.
After picking up Xiaochen, they went to Ranyue, Lin Ranyue’s place, to collect Xiaoyu, then the family of five returned home happily.
But when Su Wan was about to go to the kitchen to make a delicious meal for the family, Xiaoyan thought for a moment, moved closer to her father Gu Jue, and said softly, "Daddy, I think I know why Mommy was unhappy today."
