From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!

Hearing that Su Jiameng was in trouble, Gu Ningxuan was naturally anxious, but after a long time, he calmed down. Now he’s no longer on Qiming Star, and no matter how much he worries, he can’t protect her. Moreover, Su Jiameng is not an ordinary woman and does not need his protection at all.

He hoped the other party would handle the situations well. If things really don’t work out, isn’t Shangguan Ruolin also secretly protecting her? Thinking of this, Gu Ningxuan felt a bit more at ease, a trace of softness appearing on his brows, ”Miss Su’s words are naturally credible. She seldom jokes or deceives people. Although she can be a little mischievous at times, she is fundamentally very reliable.”

Looking at the reply that came after a while, Shangguan Ruolin frowned and tapped the tabletop with his knuckles, the crisp sound resonating clearly in the quiet room, ”I see... But on another note, I’ve noticed you care a lot about that woman.”

Before leaving Qiming Star, he even entrusted me to secretly look after her more. This is completely unlike something that the former Gu Ningxuan would do. It seems that the incident more than five years ago changed him a lot, giving the always cold Gu Ningxuan a lot more human warmth.

Gu Ningxuan’s lips curved into a faint smile, his whole face softening, but this scene was destined for no one to see. Shangguan Ruolin waited for his answer, and Gu Ningxuan simply said something astonishing, ”Hm, she’s the one I’ve got my eye on, your future sister-in-law.”

According to age and family rank, Gu Ningxuan is half a year older than Shangguan Ruolin. Because of their similar backgrounds, they are often compared by elders or outsiders, but their private relationship is quite good. If not for one being in the Xilena Star System and the other in the Augustus Star System, with most of their meetings happening in the virtual network, their relationship might be even better. Sometimes, Shangguan Ruolin would call the other ”Big Brother.”

Therefore, when Gu Ningxuan said that Su Jiameng might be Shangguan Ruolin’s future sister-in-law, he wasn’t wrong.

He spoke lightly, but Shangguan Ruolin was shocked. If he wasn’t wrong, it seems that Su Jiameng already has two little ones by her side, right? They appear to be about five or six years old! Could it be... these two are Gu Ningxuan’s? Doesn’t seem like it; if they were truly Gu Ningxuan’s, how could he leave Qiming Star? Given his sense of responsibility, he should be staying by that mother’s and children’s sides.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Ruolin smilingly typed a line of text, asking, ”If I’m not mistaken, that Miss Su Jiameng seems to have two children with her? Gu San, don’t tell me, those two kids are yours?”

Gu Ningxuan blushed. He did have such a delusion; this way, he could protect her uprightly, rather than harboring these unspoken, murky feelings. And having two such lovely sons certainly sounded like a fortune.

Unfortunately, things in life never go as expected. Being able to stay by her side for five years was already a stroke of luck. If, after many years, he could continue this fate, it would also be heaven’s favor. Gu Ningxuan and Su Jiameng have one thing in common: they’re both easily content.

”Stop speaking nonsensically. My relationship with Miss Su is innocent; those two kids aren’t mine.” Gu Ningxuan righteously declared. Then, feeling his words were too categorical, he added, ”Perhaps our relationship will change in the future, but for now... it’s still very innocent...”

Shangguan Ruolin looked at this line of text, momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond. Never expected that the typically emotionally distant Gu Ningxuan, who showed little interest in the opposite sex, would now like a woman with two little burdens so much...

When Gu Ningxuan encountered major upheavals, Shangguan Ruolin’s mind was preoccupied with his own elder brother’s matters, and by the time he managed to handle those messes, more and more matters followed. He only learned that Gu Ningxuan had been expelled from the Gu Family half a year after it happened.

It’s surprising how, in such a short amount of time, things have changed completely. Even Gu Ningxuan’s preferences have shifted. Gone is the previous coldness; now he passionately likes a woman with a fiery temper and formidable strength who’s a mo... tiger... person... wife?

However, in the open cultural climate of the future interstellar society, liking women with little burdens is not really a shocking thing. After a moment of surprise, Shangguan Ruolin calmed down. Life is full of ups and downs, but the person in his heart is still alive—what a relief compared to his own truly... bleak situation.

In the midst of sighing, all one can say is that fortune and misfortune come hand in hand. Despite Gu Ningxuan leaving the Gu Family, at least he can pursue the person he’s fond of, with the possibility of staying together... If Gu Ningxuan were still the third young master of the Gu Family, the undeniable heir, and liked a woman with kids, the Gu Family would most likely not stand for it, and the possibility of splitting them apart would be extremely high!
