Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 823: Extra - - Sweet Daily Life of Teasing Dogs 4
Not long after, the news that the king of Landis Star had a son was made public, and everyone was shocked!
The little guy was soft and adorable, and most importantly, he had a pair of fluffy wolf ears and delicate facial features. Anyone could tell immediately that this child was definitely the king’s biological son.
However, it was also announced that the child’s mother was missing, so the royal Gu Family only publicly acknowledged the child’s identity.
And they named the child Gu Hang.
The internet was abuzz with discussions about the child and his mother.
[Honestly speaking, the Gu Family has great genes. I really want to steal their genes.]
[Reported to the authorities above.]
[Who exactly is that woman? So curious. Could it be that there’s something wrong with her identity, and the Gu Family doesn’t want to acknowledge her?]
[I don’t think the Gu Family would do that. They’re known for valuing relationships. It’s impossible for them to acknowledge the child but not the mother.]
[The little prince is so cute, I just want to cuddle him!]
[Reported the above pervert.]
Although there were many speculations about the little prince’s mother online, both good and bad, everyone was very friendly towards the little prince, especially since he was just so adorable.
The news had only been out for half a day, and there was already a Little Prince Protection League on the universe internet.
Gu Yu looked at the news online and teased his elder brother Gu Chen, who was reading official documents nearby. "Big brother, this kid is already more popular than we were back then."
"At that time, we were just the commander’s children, not as much in the spotlight as now."
"That’s true. Big brother, could announcing the child bring any danger to him? Or do you have other motives?"
Gu Chen shot him a cool glance. "Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me, what brings you here?"
Gu Yu glanced around. "Where’s the child? I’m here to see the child, not you."
Gu Chen looked up. "You still haven’t given up? Really think the child was cloned?"
The two brothers resembled their parents in different ways, with one looking more like their father and the other more like their mother. In terms of aura, the elder brother Gu Chen naturally had the upper hand.
The two brothers stared at each other for a while; Gu Yu couldn’t withstand it and eventually conceded, sighing, "Big brother, it’s not just curiosity. Mainly, I have no intention of getting married. Seeing that you already have a child and how happy mother is, I thought if I could clone my own ideal child, it would save me a lot of trouble."
Gu Chen’s lips twitched.
In reality, while the technology was very advanced, there was a fatal flaw: clones invariably suffered from emotional deficiencies.
Moreover, their lifespans were significantly shorter, less than half that of purebreds. Many people couldn’t accept this, so the technology had fallen out of use.
Gu Chen spoke coldly, "Xiaoyu, put that thought out of your mind. You not getting married is something mother has never pushed you on. Plus, let me tell you one last time, Xiaohang was born from his mother, not a clone!"
Seeing that his elder brother was truly angry, Gu Yu’s expression turned somber. His eyes downcast, he said, "I understand, big brother. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."
For the first time, he saw his younger brother so downcast.
Gu Chen immediately called after him, "Wait. I’ve just finished these documents. Let’s have lunch together."
"I have other things to—"
"Xiaoyu, it’s been a long time since we brothers had a good chat."
"...Alright."
To be honest, none of the three men in the family were very sociable. If not for mother Su Wan and sister Xiaoyan easing the tension, they wouldn’t even exchange a word among themselves.
Father Gu Jue wasn’t much help either. Commander Gu treated everyone with a cold demeanor. Besides their mother, the only person he spoke more to was their sister.
But gentle smiles and amiability? Absolutely absent!
The two brothers had practically grown up in the shadow of their father’s indifference. Fortunately, their mother was gentle and caring towards them, and they were closest to her.
But Gu Chen had taken on a lot from a young age and ascended to the throne while still very young.
First, because Gu Chen knew he was suitable for the role, and second, because he wanted to become stronger to better protect his family.
As a result, his interactions with his younger brother dwindled.
The palace boasted several dining halls: a grand banquet hall, a family dining hall for twenty, and a small dining hall for just three or four people.
At that moment, the brothers Gu Chen and Gu Yu were sitting in one of the smaller dining halls, the round table laden with an array of dishes. After the attendants left, Gu Yu spoke. "Big brother, I’m actually quite troubled."
Gu Chen ladled some porridge into his brother’s bowl. "What’s the matter?"
"The emotions of the Mermaid Clan are very intense, which affects my body... you understand. But I’m overly rational and get absorbed in experiments. I started with exclusive medicine, but eventually, even that stopped working."
The stronger the Beastman, the more painful the Manic-Depressive Period was.
Not to mention, for the Mermaid Clan, the effects could be amplified.
If a Mermaid Beastman had a romantic nature, they could find someone mutual to get through the Manic-Depressive Period peacefully, even without marrying.
But the key is, Gu Yu wasn’t that type of person!
If he had been, he wouldn’t be in this predicament now.
Gu Chen, having gone through the torment of the Manic-Depressive Period himself, knew that his brother’s condition might be even worse. He considered for a moment and then spoke, "How about you meet those matchmaking candidates again?"
Gu Yu shook his head. "Brother, don’t you know? No one is willing to meet me anymore. They all say... well, a lot of things. There’s an online ranking of eligible bachelors, and you’d never guess where I rank."
"At least in the top ten?" Uncharacteristically for Gu Chen, modesty aside, his brother’s appearance was exquisite, far surpassing many well-looking female Beastmen.
And let’s not talk about family background. On Landis Star, was there a family more distinguished than the Gu Family?
His brother was also very accomplished, already working and researching at the medical center. Even their uncle Qingyu had said his brother might take over his role in the future and was already far ahead in medical research achievements.
With such an outstanding brother, shouldn’t he naturally rank in the top three eligible bachelors?
Not mentioning the top three outright was just Gu Chen’s way of avoiding his brother getting a big head!
But Gu Yu shook his head and looked at the ceiling. In a cool tone, he said, "I’m not on the list."
"What? How many people are on the list?"
"About a hundred or two."
