Chapter 39: Chapter 39 So, You Have to Take Responsibility
The hangover soup wasn’t difficult to make, nor did it require many ingredients.
So, once the purchased items had arrived, Su Wan quickly finished preparing it.
She asked the White Tiger to carry it over, but the White Tiger imdiately said, "I’m sorry, Ma’am, I need to trim the lawn in the yard. Could I trouble you to take it to the Master?"
Su Wan looked at the palm-sized tal ball. The electronic eyes of the other party seed genuinely serious.
"Don’t we have household robots?"
"They’re all too clumsy and can’t do the job well. I always have to direct them myself. Ah, it can’t be helped. Who made
the highest in intelligence?"
"..." Su Wan could only helplessly say, "Okay then."
It’s not like she could tell the White Tiger that she was a bit afraid to be alone in a space with Gu Jue, right?
But at the sa ti, she missed the milky, fluffy Ajue greatly.
With such conflicted emotions, Su Wan carried the hangover soup into the bedroom.
To her surprise, she found the dark blue bed empty.
The next mont, the glass door of the bathroom behind her was pushed open, and Gu Jue stepped out.
Wrapped loosely around his waist with just a white towel, he looked quite casual as he held another white towel in his hands, drying his wet, cropped hair.
The silvery-grey strands of hair, tangled together, actually diluted the cold aura around Gu Jue quite a bit.
Especially... Su Wan’s eyes landed on those fluffy ears and found it difficult to look away.
Gu Jue sensed her gaze and subconsciously twitched his ears slightly, the skin at the base turning slowly pink.
It was only then that Su Wan snapped back to reality, "Sorry, I thought..."
"You thought what?"
"I thought you only show your ears and tail during your Manic-Depressive Period," Su Wan said, her gaze inadvertently drifting below the towel wrapped around him.
Yikes, she couldn’t see anything.
The corners of Gu Jue’s lips twitched slightly, his pupils seed to narrow a bit, and he was sowhat surprised by his own reaction.
After all, Beastn are only like this during their Manic-Depressive Period.
But when Gu Jue thought about Su Wan’s fear of him, he suppressed the burgeoning restlessness in his heart.
His eyes landed on the hangover soup in Su Wan’s hands, "You made this for ?"
"Oh, yes, drink it before it gets cold."
Although Su Wan felt he might not need it now, it was a good way to avoid continuing the dangerous topic from before.
Gu Jue had grown accustod to alcohol, so naturally, he wouldn’t suffer from a hangover, but he definitely wanted to drink the hangover soup Su Wan made with her own hands.
Watching him finish the soup and beco much more sober, Su Wan said, "Ajue, earlier at the Su Family restaurant, you ntioned that we should talk about that matter when we got back ho."
Gu Jue placed the bowl on the side table, making a clanging sound.
He glanced up slightly, observing his little wife sitting seriously and stiffly on the opposite couch.
"Xiaowan, do you dislike ?"
"Ah, of course not." Su Wan shook her head.
She really liked Ajue and had indeed been impulsively driven to marry due to love at first sight.
And although Su Wan was sowhat afraid of Commander Gu, she also knew the blood he carried ca from the battles he fought.
If not for soldiers like Gu Jue risking their lives to protect the planet, ordinary residents like them wouldn’t live in peace.
So, in any case, Su Wan definitely didn’t dislike Gu Jue.
She looked up at Gu Jue, "Then are you refusing to divorce
because of your Manic-Depressive Period, unable to use the exclusive dicine anymore?"
Gu Jue watched her silently.
Su Wan, observing his gem-like eyes, pursed the corners of her mouth before adding, "Of course, I share the responsibility too, but I didn’t know that you won’t be able to use the exclusive dicine in the future."
Gu Jue slowly began to speak, "So, you have to take responsibility."
"Why ?"
"Because it was you who chose
in the beginning."
Su Wan fell silent.
Back then, during Gu Jue’s Manic-Depressive Period, if he had been with soone else, the exclusive dicine at this mont wouldn’t have been her.
But to directly talk about responsibility or sothing felt really weird.
Just at that mont, Gu Jue yawned, "I’m a bit tired and need to rest. I have to go to an extraterrestrial planet early tomorrow, so there’s a guest room next door. If you need anything, just ask the White Tiger."
Su Wan was stunned, she felt like he was avoiding the question.
But, since they were not planning to divorce now, it seed that they could only muddle through this for the ti being?
Moreover, hearing that Gu Jue had official business which probably wouldn’t bring him back anyti soon, Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief, and her heart also lightened.
She nodded, "Okay, I’ll stay at school when you’re away. Is that alright?"
"Hmm," Gu Jue replied, his eyes half-closed, looking very sleepy.
Su Wan’s mood lightened along with him. No matter what, the two of them had basically settled on a way to live together.
Just like Gu Jue said, she also had a responsibility towards the matter of the exclusive dicine.
"Ajue, goodnight."
Su Wan, carrying the empty bowl that had held the sobering soup, stepped out with a light gait.
Gu Jue’s eyes darkened slightly.
Actually, he was a bit reluctant to see her go.
But, it seed that right now he couldn’t say or do anything.
Otherwise, he would definitely scare his little wife away.
For the first ti, Gu Jue felt inexplicably jealous of himself during his Manic-Depressive Period.
Because back then, Xiaowan had never been afraid of him and hadn’t wanted to leave him in such a rush.
When the White Tiger learned that its master had asked it to arrange the bedroom next door for Su Wan and provide whatever she needed, it was so surprised that it almost malfunctioned!
It had no choice but to settle Su Wan in the bedroom next door first, prepare all the necessary daily items, and then imdiately flapped its little wings and flew back to Gu Jue’s room.
"Master, why, why did you send the madam to sleep in the next room?"
Gu Jue was sitting at his desk, looking through so docunts, the air around him seemingly enveloped in a faint chill.
He said, "What else?"
"Couples are supposed to live together!"
"She’s afraid of ."
"..."
The White Tiger imdiately fell silent too, looking at its master with a bit of sympathy. But after thinking it over, it still tried to find a reason for Su Wan.
White Tiger: "Master, don’t worry, this is a normal reaction. After all, the madam hasn’t known you for long. You have to give her so ti."
Gu Jue put down the docunt he was holding and lowered his eyes, "Not that short."
White Tiger: "What?"
"Nothing. I have to go to MT320 Planet tomorrow. Make sure you grant Xiaowan full access to the smart ho systems."
"Yes, Master."
**
Su Wan was exploring the new room.
Next to Gu Jue’s bedroom, it was a bit smaller than his, but anities like the bathroom were fully equipped.
Xiaobai suddenly said, "Master, the White Tiger has granted
full access to all the permissions for this mansion."
aning, Su Wan was now completely the other master of this mansion.
