"They are all at the Su Family restaurant’s flagship store now," Gu Jue dropped a line and turned around, only to find that Bai Li had already boarded the aircraft.
The engines of the aircraft were already firing up!
He twitched the corner of his mouth and quickly stepped aboard as well.
Just as the two were about to arrive at the Su Family restaurant’s flagship store, Gu Jue pulled out a Silver Mask and put it on; then his appearance gradually began to change.
Bai Li: "..."
Without the need for high-tech masks, the Insect God could change his appearance at will, the two n, in an intangible way, actually began a silent competition!
Not to ntion that Gu Jue was already of such an old age, even if you added up all the years the Insect God had lived through his reincarnations, he would still be several hundred years old.
White Tiger shook his chanical head helplessly, thinking n really do beco so childish when it cos to love!
With the Su Family restaurant’s centennial celebration, and Su Wan’s identity, many distinguished guests had arrived tonight, nearly the entire upper-class noble families of Landis Star had gathered.
The lobby on the first floor was filled with people, and Luo Manya was sitting in a small banquet hall above with her younger sister Jina.
Sheng An had just gotten back from her vacation, and upon seeing Jina still as carelessly cheerful as ever, she smiled without saying a word.
It was Jina, curious, who looked over at Sheng Le preparing for Su Wan’s livestream, and gossiped, "Sheng An, do you know, there’s a young girl who’s been vigorously chasing after your brother Xiaole!"
"I know."
"How do you know when you’re always on an alien planet?"
Sheng An was sowhat amused, "I’m stationed on an alien planet, but it’s not like I’ve lost contact with you, right? Not to ntion, I still report to the military regularly, and sotis I chat about recent happenings with Xiaowan."
Jina suddenly realized, "Oh, right, what do you think about it?"
"It’s not about what I think; it’s what Xiaole himself thinks. If he likes her, they’ll be together; if not, they won’t. Besides, I generally don’t worry much about my son’s affairs."
"True, I couldn’t care less whether my son marries or not; even if he ends up marrying a man in the future, it wouldn’t bother at all!"
Manya, sitting beside them, couldn’t help but shake her head with a mix of laughter and tears.
She turned her head to chat with Grandma Miao Yue, who had also co, while Gu Yuan was speaking softly to his son Gu Zilan, "It’s a sha Xiaojue couldn’t make it today."
Gu Zilan: "The large military fleet will only be able to reach Landis Star tomorrow morning, hmm, my little uncle has perfectly avoided it."
There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
Today was a big day for the Su Family, and naturally, the Su Family patriarch was sitting in the main seat, accompanied by Grandma ira.
Seeing Su Wan bustling about, the Su Family patriarch said to Su Ni sitting at the sa table, "Why are you just sitting here? Why don’t you go and give your sister a hand?"
Su Ni touched his nose with so helplessness, "I was busy with the early preparations too, but later, when Xiaowan does the livestream, I can’t be of help, and then, if I appear on cara, what if countless netizens see my face..."
Cecilia beside him cast a cold glance his way, "What, worried about being recognized by your fans from back in the day? Or, do you regret retiring from the lilight?"
Su Ni did feel so regret, after all, running a restaurant wasn’t as glamorous and easy as being a celebrity.
But he knew he couldn’t be a star forever.
The most important thing is... he never regretted his choices.
"Cecilia, I’m not worried about fans recognizing from the past; I’m worried... that they won’t recognize at all, look at this belly fat!"
"Hehe."
"But, I’ve never regretted my past decisions. Now I can spend all day with you, and also help Grandpa and Xiaowan with their worries, busying myself with so restaurant affairs. I feel very fulfilled!"
Whether he felt fulfilled or not was unclear, but he certainly seed tired. Still, Cecilia glanced at her husband’s belly and mused that it must be fulfillnt—otherwise, how could he have grown so reassuringly stout?
Su Yun was still the quiet type, sitting nearby, occasionally engaging in conversation with the old man or her stepfather Gu Lei.
Lan Rui felt a bit lonely, but she was always soone who could find topics for herself and was used to it. If Su Yun was reluctant to talk a lot, she would turn her head and chat with her sister-in-law, Cecilia.
"Cecilia, have you heard if Xiaoyu has any problems?"
Cecilia was sowhat at a loss for words. "Xiaoyu is a perfectly healthy child; what kind of problem could he have?"
"No, no, no, that’s not what I an. Didn’t I introduce Xiaoyu to a girl from our rmaid Clan a while ago, hoping they’d get to know each other, and it would be great if they could take it further? But... that girl turned pale after coming back from dinner with Xiaoyu! You have no idea—during dinner, Xiaoyu was talking with her about topics like rmaid bone dissections, sigh!"
Cecilia’s mouth twitched, "Don’t stir up trouble with the kids’ marriage affairs at Xiaowan’s ho."
"I’m just concerned about the younger generation. Besides, Xiaoyu is different from Xiaochen; it’s not a matter of politics. Don’t worry; Xiaochen’s wife is the Empress, and the trouble that Luo Family had with the Lin Family is still fresh in my mind—I’m not that foolish."
Cecilia gave her a speechless glare, then nodded her chin in the direction where Luo Manya and her group were.
Lan Rui imdiately fell silent.
All known people gathered together, and many online viewers had begun to squat in the live broadcast room. The number of people was so huge that the network was squeezed to a standstill several tis, and Bai Ze hurriedly maintained it.
Gu Yan walked to his mother’s side and handed her the towel, "It’s a pity Dad couldn’t make it back today, what a lively day."
Su Wan’s lips curled into a slight smile, "He’s back."
"Ah, really?"
"Yes, and not only him, Bai Li should be back with him too."
"Really?!"
Although Gu Yan repeated ’really?’ twice, it was obvious that the second exclamation was more surprised than the first.
Su Wan smiled helplessly and said softly, "They ca back unexpectedly, to give us a surprise, so let’s just pretend we don’t know, okay?"
"I didn’t expect Bai Li to be so romantic." As Gu Yan said this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, clearly in a very good mood.
But since they were supposed to act as if they didn’t know, they couldn’t rush to the door. Gu Yan imdiately went to help check the prepared ingredients again.
At this ti, Gu Jue and Bai Li had already quietly crossed the hall and headed toward the live broadcast stage.
The two had disguised themselves, so no one recognized them for the ti being.
However, as Gu Jue passed the main table, he heard Su Ni muttering, "On such an important day, the Commander didn’t rush back. Does he not care about the Su Family, or does he not care about Xiaowan?"
