Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 756: Introducing a Girlfriend to You
Gu Yan slightly furrowed her brows before saying, "When it comes to matters of the heart, I can’t really help anyone. I can only try to subtly find out whom Uncle Sheng Le likes, and if he doesn’t like anyone, then I’ll let those two make their own efforts. Perhaps, in the end, Uncle Sheng Le won’t like anyone at all."
Others shouldn’t meddle blindly in affairs of love.
Su Wan smiled and nodded, "Yeah, it’s good that you think that way. Because if you meddle too much and they end up falling out, they might both blame you. It’s not really their fault, after all, matters of the heart are inherently selfish."
It’s best not to use friendship to test the bounds of love.
Gu Yan nodded firmly.
Su Wan then said, "I heard that Plantman Star invited you to travel there, and you plan to go after the war ends?"
"Yes, Bai Li said he would accompany me then."
"Xiaoyan, do you know why the Plantmen invited you to visit?"
"On one hand, it’s because I’m a Plantman and a rare superpower user. On the other, it’s because I’m your daughter and also my big brother’s sister," Xiaoyan replied.
Gu Yan was always quite rational and clear-headed.
If she wasn’t her parents’ daughter, and not a Plantman superpower user, she guessed the other party wouldn’t even spare her a second glance.
Su Wan was relieved by her daughter’s sensibility and intelligence, and she said, "You know that they want to be on good terms with you, and the most direct and effective way to do so is through marriage. Have you thought about that?"
"Yes, I have thought about it, but I already have Bai Li. And every time I interact with those Plantmen like Jiang Huai, they don’t overstep or say anything strange, so I think, as long as I show that I’m very happy and doing well with Bai Li, their unspoken words can also understand my unspoken refusal."
"That’s right, but Xiaoyan, one should never intend harm to others, but should also be cautious of others, understand?"
"Yes, yes, I got it. Anyway, if I see that something is wrong, I’ll just use instant teleportation!"
It must be said that although Xiaoyan’s combat power isn’t high, her escape abilities are top-notch.
After talking with her daughter for a while and feeling reassured, Su Wan then went to ask Sheng Le.
Su Wan was quite straightforward, directly initiating a call to Sheng Le.
Sheng Le thought Su Wan was contacting him about the restaurant or military department matters. However, when he heard Su Wan bringing up his personal issues, he was stunned for a few seconds.
Su Wan smiled, "I’m trying to set you up with a girlfriend, of course. If you already have someone you like, forget it. Someone asked me to inquire for them."
Sheng Le said with a mix of laughter and helplessness, "You scared me, I thought I did something wrong at work. You really know how to frighten people, boss. But I don’t plan on getting married, so there’s no need to introduce me to a girlfriend."
"You don’t have a girl you like?"
"No."
"After all these years, Xiaole, you could truly let go completely."
Sheng Le was silent for a while before finally saying, "Let’s leave it to fate."
"Leave it to fate"—over the years, he had mostly dedicated his time to work, keeping himself extremely busy. Plus, with Sheng An’s family having moved to another star planet for a long stay, the siblings truly hadn’t met for a long time.
It was only during the Landis Star festivals that they would message each other with greetings.
Being someone who isn’t irritating, Su Wan said, "Alright then, but don’t work too hard all alone. Last time you visited my mom, she said you should come over during the holidays."
Landis Star had inherited Ancient Earth’s Spring Festival, so the holiday was still celebrated every year.
Sheng Le’s friends from the orphanage had all grown up, started their own families, and most would spend the festival with their own relatives.
Before Sheng An was stationed away, he used to invite Sheng Le to his home. After Sheng An left for his military posting, Sheng Le was often busy with the restaurant and got to know Lin Ranyue and the others well, so Ranyue would frequently invite him to their home for the holidays.
Sheng Le, "Hmm, I’ll go. We agreed I’ll be the chef."
Su Wan, "Hey, my mom just wants you to come over and cook, she says she can’t boss me around anymore."
After discussing work for a bit more, they ended the call, and Su Wan told her daughter, "Sheng Le isn’t in the mood to date recently. He had a big crush on your Aunt Sheng An back in the day and he’s still single after all these years. It’s really hard to win over someone whose heart deeply harbors someone else’s mark. Maybe you could subtly relay this to them."
"Then, Mom, I want to tell Su Yao too. Is that okay? She’s all alone here and she’s young. If she gets hurt, it’d be so pitiful. At the very least, we should let her know how difficult it is to win over Uncle Sheng Le. Of course, if she decides to persist along with Xu Wei’an after being told, then I won’t interfere. Let them use their own means to try."
"Okay, you decide what to do, then go ahead and do it."
Su Wan had raised her kids since they were young to think for themselves whenever they encountered problems.
Instead of solving everything directly for them.
Even her most beloved daughter included.
Because Su Wan believed they couldn’t solve their children’s problems for their whole lives. If they didn’t develop problem-solving skills while they were young and the issues were small...
Then they would turn into adult babies when they grew up.
For this parenting method, Commander Gu was in full agreement, being extremely strict with the boys but more patient and gentle with his daughter.
Knowing that her daughter had few friends, Su Wan would treat her like a friend whenever she made new ones, asking for advice with an open mind.
Looking at her increasingly intelligent, sensible, and well-behaved daughter, Su Wan suddenly asked, "Xiaoyan, if you marry Bai Li in the future and he wants to take you to the Insectoid Planet, what will you do?"
Gu Yan was stunned for a few seconds, not expecting the topic to shift so abruptly to herself.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, "Mom, didn’t you say to wait until after I graduate to discuss marriage?"
"Hmm, indeed, we should discuss it after you graduate, but you can think about it now. Or you could bring it up when you’re with Bai Li alone. Have you ever mentioned it?"
Gu Yan shook her head, "Not yet, but I don’t want to go to the Insectoid Planet. I know that after marriage I’ll have to leave my parents and family, but I don’t want to be too far from you all."
Gu Yan thought, it would be like how her mom was with her grandma; although they didn’t live together, they weren’t too far apart.
Just hop on a flight and they could see each other in no time; wouldn’t that be great?
Su Wan wrapped her arm around her daughter, "Hmm, mom doesn’t want to be too far from Xiaoyan either."
"Hmm, then when I get married, I won’t leave Landis Star!"
"Good."
After speaking with her mother, Gu Yan went back to her room, thought for a while, and then created a group chat on her light computer. The group members included Su Yao, Xu Wei’an, and Vivian.
The three of them were surprised to be suddenly added, with only Vivian remaining calm and not feeling puzzled.
The other two were very confused.
Xu Wei’an: Xiaoyan, why did you create another group? Don’t we already have one?
Su Yao: Sister Xiaoyan, what happened?
