The room suddenly fell silent, and most people’s eyes were more or less focused on Su Wan and Lord Insect God.
So were puzzled.
So were very nervous.
Only Bai Li himself, faced with Su Wan’s probing, slowly said, "I don’t know."
Su Wan’s expression remained unchanged, "Oh, that’s a pity."
Such an ordinary conversation ended without upheaval, but everyone had many questions in their hearts. Fortunately, nothing else happened afterward.
Moreover, after the day’s viewing was over, Lord Insect God did not persist in staying at Commander Gu’s ho but went to a high-class guesthouse prepared for him near the Imperial Palace.
Bai Li was concerned that if he brazenly entered Commander Gu’s ho again, Su Wan might directly tear up that piece of paper.
He could feel that Su Wan... must have guessed sothing and did not welco him approaching Xiaoyan.
In fact, Bai Li’s guess was not wrong.
After Su Wan returned ho, her mood seed a bit low, which was very rare.
Gu Jue realized his wife was in a bad mood but did not know the reason.
White Tiger imdiately volunteered, "I’ll go ask Vermilion Bird!"
Gu Jue did not speak, which was taken as implied consent.
White Tiger imdiately fluttered its small wings and flew over to Vermilion Bird, who was busy directing the household robots to tidy up the house.
White Tiger: "Vermilion Bird! Why does the madam seem a bit unhappy today, do you know why?"
Vermilion Bird: "I know."
White Tiger: "Because of what?"
Vermilion Bird: "Why should I tell you?"
White Tiger was stumped and flew closer, whispering, "The point is, the master is worried about the madam, ah. Knowing why she is unhappy, the master would know how to appease her."
Vermilion Bird was very adamant: "I cannot reveal the master’s private thoughts. Actually, you could just let the male master ask himself."
White Tiger: "...It seems that I’ll have to optimize your system in the future, install so emotional programs."
This was too unsympathetic, even for a robot.
White Tiger, returning without success, flew dejectedly to the study to find its own master Gu Jue, only to find that Gu Jue was in a video call projection with his son Gu Chen, who was still busy with official duties at the Imperial Palace.
Gu Chen: "Father, what do you think is the motive of these Plantn suddenly visiting our Landis Star?"
Gu Jue: "You already have the answer."
Gu Chen: "Hmm, it should be the war we are fighting; they have been observing us. Actually, Plantn are not as warlike as the Insectoids."
Gu Jue nodded: "They must be seeking an alliance, but I don’t know what their demands will be. It’s okay to engage with them, and I will also have several starship fleets strengthen security asures."
Even if the other party ca with peaceful intentions, one must not be without defense against others.
The father and son ended their conversation quickly.
Turning off the projection, Gu Jue looked up to see White Tiger with its head drooping. He pressed his lips together and got up to leave.
White Tiger imdiately said: "Master, although I didn’t find out the answer, I’m sure that it was sothing that happened today that upset the madam. My data feedback tells that the madam’s emotions began to fluctuate greatly after seeing Lord Insect God. Master, why not, you just ask the madam directly..."
Gu Jue paused midstep.
He said softly, "If Wanwan thinks there is no need to tell , then I have no need to ask."
White Tiger: "..."
Fine then, when you eventually agonize over it, you’ll just have to endure it.
Su Wan indeed had not yet decided whether to tell her husband about the matter.
The Insect God was Bai Li, and perhaps Xiaoyan knew the other’s identity as well.
The two were very close; how close their relationship had gotten was unknown at the mont, but Su Wan knew that if it continued, her daughter would definitely fall in too deep.
Once her daughter was invested, yet the Insect God remained indifferent,
the one who would end up being hurt would certainly be Xiaoyan.
Currently, it seed that the two hadn’t reached that stage yet. Su Wan worried that if she asked her daughter too directly and caused her to realize her feelings for the Insect God, what then?
She felt truly torn.
That night, Su Wan clung to her husband, feeling a bit anxious, which gave her insomnia.
Gu Jue, aware that she was hiding sothing, proactively handed over his fluffy tail to his wife’s hands.
He said, "Wanwan, in a few days, emissaries from the Plantman Star are coming."
Su Wan was briefly distracted, "Are they coming to form an alliance with us?"
"Probably, but they likely have other motives as well."
The combat power of Plantn was not high, so they were in more urgent need of energy, though of course, they had their advantages.
One would only know their intentions after eting them.
Having her attention diverted, Su Wan managed to calm down a bit. She shifted her position in the arms of Commander Gu and eventually fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Su Wan personally made a hearty breakfast for her family, and then she saw her daughter packing so of the excess sandwiches into a storage container.
She pretended not to notice.
"Xiaoyan, have you heard from Vivian?"
Gu Yan was startled, then shook her head sadly, "Not yet, I’ve sent her so many ssages, but she hasn’t replied to any."
Su Wan said, "No news is good news; maybe by now, Lucifer has found a way to treat Vivian’s illness."
Although Su Wan detested Lucifer, the Star Thief Leader, if he had even a shred of conscience for his child, then perhaps this octopus was not entirely evil.
Gu Yan nodded; she too could only hope that Vivian’s father had found a cure.
After breakfast, Gu Yan said goodbye to her mother and father and then boarded the aircraft with her elder brother, Gu Yu.
Seeing his sister’s low spirits, Gu Yu consoled her, "Don’t worry, Vivian will be alright."
"Yeah."
Everyone said this, and Gu Yan knew they were just trying to comfort her.
After all, Vivian had been missing for many days without a single piece of news.
If she was so concerned about Vivian, what about her eldest brother?
Gu Yan whispered, "Brother, do you think our eldest brother is still thinking of Vivian?"
Gu Yu shook his head.
He was wholly focused on experints and research, and didn’t quite understand one person’s feelings for another... In Gu Yu’s view, his elder brother’s feelings for Vivian probably weren’t as deep as those of their parents, right?
So he likely wasn’t still thinking of her... right?
Ah, matters of the heart were too complicated, doing experints was better!
In reality, the much thought about Vivian by the Gu Family was lying on a pristine white hospital bed, surrounded by various complex dical instrunts, shining with a tallic silver luster.
Julia’s eyes were red, "Isn’t there any other way? Vivian’s unconscious periods are getting longer and longer, I don’t even know if she’ll ever wake up again..."
As she talked, Julia’s tears began to fall uncontrollably.
