"What?"
Upon hearing this, Lucifer’s eyes lit up instantly!
However, Julia seed a bit confused.
She said, "What on earth are you two siblings talking about? I don’t understand at all."
"Don’t worry, this is good news, our Vivian can be saved!"
Lucifer sent Julia off to check if her daughter had awakened and dismissed her, then he turned to his sister Moran and asked, "Is this information reliable? I feel that even Julia doesn’t know about this."
"I got the news from the people I left on Landis Star. Vivian used to be close to Gu Yan, Su Wan’s daughter, right? By a stroke of luck, Gu Chen fell for Vivian, but after she fell ill, she beca distant from Gu Yan, and Gu Chen is usually very busy, so the two didn’t really interact anymore."
Lucifer suddenly realized, "No wonder Gu Chen didn’t go after aggressively that day at the Su Family restaurant."
He found it strange that the son of Su Wan and Gu Jue would actually like his daughter.
The situation didn’t feel quite real to him.
Moran: "Brother, that’s why I think we should talk to Gu Chen about saving Vivian."
"Hmm."
Lucifer didn’t want to lose everything he had now, spend the latter half of his life in prison, or lose his daughter.
So, after much thought, he imdiately had soone try to contact Gu Chen.
**
Landis Star, Imperial Palace.
Gu Chen had already finished his other official duties but was looking at the virtual screen, his eyebrows slightly furrowed at the ssage sent not long ago by the leader of the Plantman Star.
Azure Dragon: "Master, are you worried about sothing?"
Gu Chen: "The Plantn are going to send exchange students to Empire University, and in reality, they might send their outstanding youths. They are very fond of Xiaoyan."
Azure Dragon’s electronic voice revealed confusion, "They have a fondness for Miss Xiaoyan, isn’t that a good thing?"
Gu Chen: "No, you’re a single AI, you wouldn’t understand."
Azure Dragon: "..."
The point was, there were no AI that weren’t single anyway.
Gu Chen understood that the Plantn were very gentlemanly. They expressed their fondness for Xiaoyan vividly and politely, in a way that made it impossible to harbor any dislike.
Under such circumstances, the other party might use very gentlemanly thods to pursue Xiaoyan.
Moreover, this matter was no secret on Landis Star, and many were aware of it.
If Xiaoyan really took a liking to one of the Plantman boys... Gu Chen frowned slightly. As an older brother, he felt sowhat displeased.
If his cute, innocent, and kind sister truly wanted to marry, wouldn’t it be sufficient for her to marry soone from Landis Star?
Or... if Xiaoyan were to fall in love with soone from another planet in the future, then let that person co to Landis Star and be their live-in son-in-law!
Just then, Azure Dragon suddenly spoke in a serious tone, "Master, a strange communication signal is coming in, an extraplanetary signal. Do you want to accept it, or should I trace it back first?"
Gu Chen: "Accept it."
"Yes."
A few seconds later, Lucifer’s figure appeared on the virtual screen.
Gu Chen lifted his chin slightly, "It’s you. I had previously allowed my mother to contact you, and you had discovered the tracker and removed it. So why are you contacting now? Are you not worried that I’ll track you down again and pinpoint your exact location?"
Lucifer’s face remained calm, "That’s not important. What’s important is... I hadn’t figured out before why you didn’t deal with harshly at the Su Family restaurant. Now I understand, it turns out you like my daughter Vivian?"
Gu Chen’s expression darkened.
He did have so feelings for Vivian and was willing to help her with her illness.
But that didn’t an he wanted to hear those words from Lucifer, let alone that he had never considered being with Vivian.
Seeing that Gu Chen’s expression had changed, Lucifer beca even more confident and said with a smile, "Don’t be nervous, this is a good thing. However, was it too much for your mother to make it a condition that I voluntarily imprison myself in the Interstellar Prison in order to help Vivian? If Vivian wakes up later and she asks about , what will you tell her?"
Gu Chen looked at Lucifer for a few seconds, then slowly started to smile.
He said, "Lucifer, I think there might be a misunderstanding here. Indeed, I’m fond of Vivian, but that’s only at the level of caring for a friend. How could you assu that Vivian is more important to than my own mother?"
Lucifer’s expression froze, "You! But isn’t it true that the most important person in the heart of a Gu Family man is his wife?"
"But you’re forgetting, Vivian is not my wife, and we haven’t even been in love. She’s friends with my sister, and I admire her. That’s why I wouldn’t stand by and let her die, but that’s all. And as for whether she will beco my wife... Lucifer, after you’ve killed so many excellent Star Warriors of our Federal Empire and even injured my father and tried to kill my mother multiple tis, do you think I could possibly marry your daughter?"
Gu Chen was always rational.
He knew that if he could still use such rational thoughts to consider his relationship with Vivian, it proved that his feelings for her had not reached the point of madness, where he would throw everything else aside.
So it was, rely an affection.
This ti, it was Lucifer’s turn to change color, "What if, if I were not Vivian’s father, would, would you be with her?"
"What’s the point of such a ’what if’?"
Lucifer fell completely silent.
The communication cut off, and the virtual screen turned dark.
Gu Chen stood up and walked outside, heading ho on his flying vehicle.
At the sa ti, he asked Azure Dragon to contact Vermilion Bird to check if his mother Su Wan had already returned ho, and he received a positive response.
At this ti, the residence of Commander Gu was bustling with activity. The family of five were all busy, but after work and studies, they would all rush back ho.
Su Wan was in the kitchen making pork rib and corn soup, with steam swirling around the kitchen.
Gu Yan sat quietly beside her mother, helping out.
Su Wan glanced over, feeling that her daughter seed sowhat absent-minded today, probably because of sothing Bai Li had said, but Su Wan didn’t intend to pressure her daughter at the mont.
Then, Vermilion Bird inford Su Wan in her ear about Gu Chen’s return.
Su Wan lifted her head and said to her daughter, "Xiaoyan, set an extra bowl and chopsticks on the table; your big brother is coming ho."
"Oh, okay."
Gu Yan stood up and busied herself with the task.
Su Wan narrowed her eyes slightly.
The sudden return of her eldest son and his contacting Vermilion Bird to ask if she was ho probably ant there was sothing important.
Sure enough, before long, Gu Chen stepped in. Su Wan had him help set the food on the table and then asked, "Has sothing happened?"
"Yes, Mother, Lucifer contacted . He’s sohow found out about my developing feelings for Vivian."
