"Did you really think that by distancing Lucifer from her and her daughter, your heart would slowly beco as hard as it was before? Yet still, you’ve co to where you are today, haven’t you?"
Moran remained silent.
Su Wan stood up and adjusted her cuffs. She said, "You’re always too focused on the road ahead, Moran. If only you could calm down and look at the path under your feet, you would understand your brother’s decision and realize why you and I are so different today."
After she finished speaking, she got up and walked toward the exit, but suddenly stopped at the door.
Su Wan turned back, "Co to think of it, Vivian’s experiences are much like ours. Take a look at the choices that girl has made, and maybe you’ll find the answer to the doubts in your heart."
Su Wan left the cell and gave a few instructions to the Star Warrior guarding it, then she left the Interstellar Prison.
By her calculations, Ajue and the others should be arriving soon.
Really, she was starting to miss him.
Debates over who should govern the universe raged on without end. Without electing soone to convince everyone, the hundred years of peace would probably still harbor many hidden undercurrents.
When Su Wan communicated with her husband Gu Jue via the projection, she brought up the matter.
"Wanwan, who do you think is more suitable for the position?"
"I don’t know. It could be you, or Xiaochen, or Bai Li. Jiang Shang is the least likely—he thinks so himself—so no matter who ends up in the seat in the end, it should be one of our family mbers. If that’s the case, then there’s no need to worry," she said.
Commander Gu, visible in the projection, gently furrowed his handso brows. "I don’t want to be it. Because if I were, I might have even less ti to be by your side."
Over the years, for the sake of Landis Star’s peace and security, Gu Jue had shouldered an unavoidable responsibility, and so he and Su Wan had spent much ti apart.
Now, as the dust seed to be settling, and as there would likely be no major wars for the next hundred years, he could finally be with his wife day and night.
If he really beca the new head of the Federation, he would probably still be running around everywhere.
Commander Gu certainly didn’t want to be separated from his wife so frequently!
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Commander Gu, though commanding and fierce outside, could only show this side of himself in front of his wife.
It reminded Su Wan of the night they t on her twentieth birthday.
She t Gu Jue, and she chose Gu Jue.
But back then, Moran had also t Chu Xunyang, yet Moran chose to keep pursuing his own ambitions.
And for so many years, he had been the one stirring the pot from behind the scenes.
"Wanwan, what’s wrong?" Sensing his wife’s distraction, Commander Gu was very perceptive.
Su Wan smiled faintly, "It’s nothing, Ajue. I just missed you."
"!!!!!"
Commander Gu, who was already missing his wife terribly, upon hearing her say this, how could he sit still!
According to their schedule, it would be another two days before they could return with the troops, but Commander Gu couldn’t wait. After ending the call with his wife, he called for his son Gu Chen.
"Xiaochen, you bring the troops back. I’ll go ahead on a small spacecraft."
"Father, did sothing happen on Landis Star?" Gu Chen beca imdiately tense upon hearing this!
The formidable and imposing Commander Gu said very calmly, "No, nothing has happened to Landis Star. It’s just that I miss your mother."
Gu Chen, who had been fed dog food since childhood: "..."
Having grown accustod to handling such matters, Gu Chen sighed and said, "Alright, I’ll take charge of leading the team. Father, you head back first in the smaller spaceship."
Gu Jue turned and left. The smaller spaceship was faster, and when commanding a large force, there were always many considerations to manage.
But just as he was about to board the smaller vessel, soone followed him.
The two n made eye contact.
In an instant, they understood what the other wanted to say and do; as a result, there was no need for words or actions anymore.
After the interstellar spaceship took off, Gu Chen learned that Bai Li had also boarded the smaller spacecraft and couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the sa ti.
Setting other things aside, although they were not yet married, Bai Li’s deep concern for Miss Xiaoyan indeed matched the style of the n in the Gu Family.
Only... as it was said that Bai Li, being an Insect God, nearly had eternal life, and Xiaoyan, as a Plantman, at most could only live up to two hundred years—what would happen after Xiaoyan passed away?
The one who remained, if they were the one who had loved the most deeply, would also be the one who suffered the most.
"Forget it, that’s a concern for the future. As a lone and childless man, I shouldn’t worry about that for them."
anwhile, the smaller spaceship continued its relentless flight to Landis Star, arriving half a day ahead of the main fleet.
When the craft docked at Commander Gu’s residence, the two n hurried down, only to find the house eerily quiet, with no one around.
Gu Jue, who had planned to surprise his wife: "..."
Bai Li, who had intended to surprise his girlfriend: "..."
Neither had inford the other of their early return, and now it was evening, a ti when, by all logic, both Su Wan and Gu Yan should have been at ho!
The White Tiger’s A.I. felt embarrassed for the pair and deeply sympathized with them.
"Master, shall I inquire with Vermilion Bird where they might be? Of course, I won’t ntion that you’ve returned."
"Hmm," was the crisp response from the great Commander.
Around others, the voice was cool and detached.
If there were no others present, well, it would be filled with reticence.
Of course, Bai Li had no objections; he had been separated from Xiaoyan for a long ti and was eager to see his young lady.
White Tiger discreetly sent a ssage to Vermilion Bird.
White Tiger: Vermilion Bird, we’re about to arrive. Where is the Lady? Is she at ho with Miss Xiaoyan?
Vermilion Bird quickly tracked the signal upon receiving the ssage and then inford Su Wan, who was doing a live food broadcast at the Su Family restaurant, "Master, the lord has returned. I’ve tracked White Tiger’s signal to our house."
Su Wan was surprised but then smiled and shook her head, "When did Ajue learn to surprise like this? Tell him I’m doing a live stream at the Su Family restaurant. Pretend you don’t know about their return."
Vermilion Bird was slightly confused. Knowing the truth, why pretend ignorance?
But since the master said so, it would surely comply.
Thus, Vermilion Bird sent a ssage back to White Tiger exactly as instructed.
Vermilion Bird: The master isn’t in the residence right now. With the hundredth anniversary celebration of the Su Family restaurant, she is at the main store, preparing for a live stream.
The Food God, who had beco too busy to live-stream for many years, was doing so once again.
This ti was different; after all, it was the Su Family restaurant’s hundredth-anniversary celebration, a matter the old master Su greatly valued. And there was nothing more sensational than having the Food God, who had stopped broadcasting for many years, return to do a live stream.
