Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 776: Su Wan’s Unease

For no reason at all, why suddenly give the position of a star planet leader to Xiaoyan?

Su Wan knew that Chu Xunyang didn’t know the reason behind it. The fact that he had shared this news with her was already a favor.

"Thank you."

Others might be happy to hear this news, but Su Wan couldn’t feel happy.

No one offers favors without an ulterior motive.

This matter involved her daughter, so Su Wan had to take it seriously, especially at this time when she had just received communication from her son, saying he and Bai Li were rushing back.

"What’s the sudden reason for your return?"

"It’s Bai Li; he said... Xiaomei seems to be in an unusual condition. In fact, Xiaoyan has stopped taking his calls and replying to his messages."

Su Wan was surprised, "How is that possible? The two of them have always had a good relationship, they don’t even fight."

"I’m not too sure either. It’s been quite a while since I last came back, and I just took the opportunity to deal with some official business."

"Then how soon will you arrive?"

"About thirty more hours."

After ending the call, Su Wan’s unease slowly grew.

She had a feeling that something significant was about to happen within these thirty hours!

"Vermilion Bird, immediately notify Bai Ze to tighten security at the port. Report anything suspicious without delay."

"Yes."

Throughout the main city of Landis Star, there were ’eyes’ belonging to Bai Ze—only during a level one alert would such a fuss be made.

But now, it was just Su Wan’s premonition... However, Bai Ze immediately followed through.

At night when she returned home, Su Wan saw her daughter walking in from outside and casually asked as she placed down her light computer, "What, were you chatting with Bai Li again?"

"Ah, no." Gu Yan shook her head, "It’s Jiang Huai. He asked me to go watch a movie."

Su Wan was setting the bowls on the table when her hands paused slightly, "Have you been fighting with Bai Li recently?"

"No, not at all, it’s just that, I feel like I have nothing to talk about with him, I feel like I don’t understand Bai Li..." Gu Yan’s expression was a bit troubled,

"Mom, I can’t even remember why I liked Bai Li in the first place."

Su Wan realized how serious the situation was.

She wiped her hands dry, then took her daughter and sat down on the couch.

"When did this start happening? Did anything happen between you and Bai Li?"

"Nothing happened, no conflicts at all. It’s just that recently, I sort of... can’t remember the things we’ve been through together, nor can I remember what I like about him. I don’t want to answer his calls and I’m reluctant to reply to his messages... Mom, I want to break up with him. I don’t want to continue this unclear relationship."

Although Su Wan didn’t know the specifics of her daughter’s interactions with Bai Li,

she always felt her daughter shouldn’t have forgotten the details of their relationship!

Could this also be a result of Xiaoyan’s frequent use of superpowers?

Su Wan said softly, "Xiaoyan, aside from this matter with Bai Li, has there been anything else recently that you find... frequent, or rather unusual?"

"Mom, what do you mean? Lately, there hasn’t been anything unusual."

Seeing her daughter’s puzzled eyes, Su Wan’s heart sank, but her tone remained light, "Hmm, nothing much. Maybe it’s like what Uncle Qingyu said before, that your frequent use of spatial superpowers has had some impact on your brain. For the next few days, just rest well and don’t overexert yourself."

"Okay, Mom."

At night, after Su Wan finished her work, she rubbed her temples. Bai Ze had just reported that everything was normal.

But she still couldn’t relax. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Sometimes, the calmer the night, the more likely it is to brew a turbulent danger.

"Vermilion Bird, call Xiaofu over to me."

"Yes."

At home, these high-level artificial intelligences would all have bodies with wings, flying around the mansion.

It was because home was the safest place that they dared to momentarily leave their master’s light-brain.

Soon after, Xiaofu flew in, fluttering its metal wings, "Madam, do you have any instructions?"

"Something’s off with Xiaoyan, but I can’t put my finger on it. Have there been any suspicious people around her?"

Suspicious people? Oh, Jiang Huai, does he count as suspicious? But I feel that he probably means no harm."

Jiang Huai?

Plantman?

Su Wan suddenly remembered what Chu Xunyang had mentioned, and she said, "I’ve met that child before; he indeed seems like a good person. Why do you think Jiang Huai is suspicious?"

"Xiaofu isn’t quite sure either, but, previously, the master was not close to him at all; even Ji Mu had warned the master, telling her that Jiang Huai was up to no good. However, for some reason, the master has been getting along very well with Jiang Huai lately, and the two are almost inseparable now."

Su Wan was taken aback.

Could it be that her daughter had truly fallen for someone else?

Bai Li was always at war with the army, and as far as Su Wan knew, Lord Insect God wouldn’t engage in acts of infidelity, right?

Although Su Wan wasn’t keen on accepting Lord Insect God as her son-in-law, her daughter’s behavior was exceedingly unusual.

And then, there was Jiang Huai...

"Xiaofu, go back to Xiaoyan’s side, and continue to keep an eye on Jiang Huai for me."

"As you wish, Madam."

After Xiaofu flew away, Vermilion Bird flew over, flapping its wings, "Master, you seem to be quite restless."

"I feel like something is about to happen, but I can’t tell what it is," Su Wan massaged her temples and said, "Right, is Xiaoyu still at school for experiments and hasn’t come back?"

"Yes, the young master sometimes stays late for experiments and spends the night in the school’s dormitory."

Su Wan immediately used her light-brain to contact her son, Gu Yu, and even though he was busy with experiments, he answered quickly.

"Mom, what’s the matter?"

"Find the Insectoid called Ji Mu and have him send me a communication."

"Okay."

Ji Mu immediately set aside his ongoing experiment, took off his white lab coat, and walked out.

Empire University’s residential students were more numerous, and now that it was dark, the classrooms were still brightly lit. In the military academy’s training rooms, people were training as well.

Ji Mu was an exchange student and housed at the military academy dormitory with Bai Li. Gu Yu had been there once and remembered it somewhat.

However, when he went to Ji Mu’s dormitory, he found it empty.

The neighbor was also an Insectoid and said, "Ji Mu is in the training room. If it’s urgent, you can call his communicator."

"I don’t have him as a contact."

"I do, let me ask for you."

After the Insectoid dialed Ji Mu, there was no response for a long time, and he was puzzled, "That’s strange, why isn’t he answering? Could Ji Mu be in the virtual training field?"

During virtual training, light-brain signals are blocked.

Worried that his mother might be anxious, Gu Yu said, "Then I’ll just go directly to the training field to find him."

The Insectoid muttered to himself in the background, "Odd, Ji Mu isn’t usually this hardworking."
