Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Kid Is Just Too Well-behaved

As soon as this announcement was made, students busy with their exams didn’t think much of it.

But when Mu Xiaoge saw it, he was instantly bewildered.

What’s going on, my uncle isn’t my uncle anymore?

He had been participating in the mecha competition’s rematch and was preparing for the cultural courses’ exams recently, so he hadn’t had time to pay attention to other matters.

Come on, are they starting off with a bombshell?

Mu Xiaoge immediately messaged his older brother, Mu Qingyu, to inquire about the situation.

Mu Xiaoge: Bro, did you know? Uncle has changed his last name!

Mu Xiaoge: Oh my god, the old geezers, aren’t they gonna blow their tops?

Mu Xiaoge: I’ve decided not to go back home after the holidays and to apply to stay in the school dormitory!

Receiving no prompt reply from his brother, Mu Xiaoge assumed he was busy.

After all, being a doctor is quite demanding.

Just as Mu Xiaoge turned to get back to his reading, his brother finally sent a message.

Gu Qingyu: Oh, I know about it.

Mu Xiaoge: Ah, you knew? Why didn’t you tell me? Why would uncle want to change his surname? If he’s a Gu now, he’ll be part of the Imperial Family in the future.

Mu Xiaoge: Holy crap! Brother, you’ve changed your name too!!!!

Gu Qingyu: ^_^, Focus on your exams, I’m off to be with your sister-in-law.

Mu Xiaoge: ...

He put down his light brain, sat there, raised his head, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

His expression was as melancholic as it could get.

His curious roommate asked him, "Mu bro, what’s wrong with you? Is it because of the mecha competition’s rematch failure? Don’t worry, you’ll definitely make it to the finals no matter what."

"No, I’m not worried about that. I’m worried that my uncle isn’t my uncle anymore, and my brother isn’t my brother anymore."

Roommate: "..."

He understood every word.

But why didn’t it make sense when strung together?

Compared to Mu Xiaoge, the Mu family faced an even greater shock!

Mu Lei had delivered a blow to them!

And then Mu Qingyu just dealt them a second blow!

Overnight, those who had gray hair turned completely white!

In the Mu family’s council hall, a large group of snowy-white heads were gathered together to discuss the matter.

The Mu family butler silently served water to everyone.

"The Commander has gone too far with this! How could he force someone to change their surname and abandon their own family?"

"But... Xiaolei agreed to it on his own."

They could only voice their complaints behind closed doors; no one dared to blame Commander Gu outright.

After all, the entirety of the Federal Empire’s military force was in the hands of Gu Jue.

They wouldn’t dare offend him for anything.

So...

"It must all be Lin Ranyue’s fault! She seduced Xiaolei to leave the family and then went to coax her daughter into pleading with Commander Gu!"

After a heated discussion, they finally found a target for their frustration.

Moreover, there was also the matter regarding Mu Qingyu.

"As for Qingyu, he must have been persuaded by Ouyang Qing too! Seeing Xiaolei was able to change his surname, she must have urged Qingyu to change his as well!"

A group of people, together nearly a thousand years old, finally came to a consensus.

The elder Mu raised his hand slightly, "Some of you, go negotiate with Ouyang Qing, and tell the couple not to stir things up. We aren’t going to pressure her about having children for the time being. After all, they are both still young, the future... we’ll talk about it later."

"Exactly, they are a young couple. Maybe in a couple of years, they will have children. Or, if their relationship sours, they might even split up."

The elder Mu nodded, "Also, find someone to dig up dirt on Lin Ranyue. If Lin Ranyue’s scandals come to light, we’ll see if Xiaolei still wants to marry her."

"But, won’t this offend Commander Gu?" someone raised an objection.

The elder Mu snorted coldly, "Unless Lin Ranyue has no dirt. If she does, it’s her own imperfection and flaws. What does that have to do with us?"

Everyone looked at each other.

With no better options, they decided to proceed with the plan!

Su Wan had been extremely busy recently, without any respite.

In addition to her studies, she had to take care of opening a new branch in District 10.

She invited Ouyang Qing to her house for a medical check-up.

Though Su Wan had many things to do, she would not neglect the health of her baby because of her busy schedule.

Ouyang Qing didn’t disappoint, bringing along her assistant and medical equipment to perform a thorough examination of Su Wan.

She said, "The baby is very healthy, all the indexes are within the healthy range. As for you, you are a bit fatigued. Have you had trouble sleeping at night recently?"

Su Wan: "...I’ve been reading at night. It’s the examination period these days."

Ouyang Qing expressed her understanding, as she had been through the same period herself.

She then prescribed some elixirs for Su Wan, and finally, she took out a box with blue vials.

"This is an enhanced Calming Elixir recently developed by my husband’s lab. If you’re having trouble resting at night, you can take this. Don’t worry, it has been clinically tested and has no side effects."

Su Wan smiled, "We’re going to be family soon, so I definitely trust you. By the way, once I’m done with exams, let’s get together with my mom and have a meal together."

A faint smile appeared on Ouyang Qing’s lips, "Sure."

After seeing off Ouyang Qing and her assistants, Su Wan obediently took the various elixirs.

Just as she took out a textbook to study the subject of tomorrow’s exam, she saw Gu Jue arrive home.

There had been some issues in the Edge Star System lately, and Gu Jue had been busy.

Of course, Commander Gu was always busy, handling myriad duties every day.

"I saw Ouyang Qing and others coming over just now."

Su Wan nodded, "I asked her to give my body a check-up, mainly because I’m worried about the baby’s condition."

Turns out, the baby’s all data is very healthy.

Su Wan felt emotional, "I know a female classmate from my cohort who had a very painful pregnancy. At first, she had severe morning sickness and vomited whatever she ate. Eventually, when the morning sickness passed, her belly started to grow bigger, and sleeping became uncomfortable, as did many other things."

She touched her belly.

"The baby has been so good."

Commander Gu began taking off his military uniform, undoing the cuffs of his shirt, "Isn’t it supposed to be good?"

Su Wan: "..."

Watching her look perplexed, Gu Jue took a small box from the household robot next to him, inside of which lay rows of blue elixirs.

Su Wan found it familiar-looking.

Gu Jue: "This is the enhanced Calming Elixir, if you feel uncomfortable or can’t sleep, you can take it."

He didn’t say it outright.

After all...

But Su Wan had an epiphany.

She hadn’t thought much of it when Ouyang Qing mentioned it earlier.

Now, reminded by Gu Jue, she realized that if she felt spiritually uncomfortable, taking this enhanced Calming Elixir,

might prevent her from traveling to other dimensions.
