Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 762: Does He Have Ulterior Motives?

So Jiang Huai had not acted yet because once he used his superpower, Gu Yan would definitely hate him afterward.

But now, the good news for Jiang Huai was that Bai Li was not on Landis Star for the time being.

He must have gone back to join the rest of the Insect Clan in the war.

"Hopefully, he dies in the war!"

That way, he could slowly win over Gu Yan’s heart without causing her to dislike him.

**

These past few days, some people had been asking Ji Mu about Bai Li’s whereabouts, deliberately or otherwise. Ji Mu obviously wouldn’t reveal anything, simply stating that Bai Li had returned to the Insectoid Planet for a mission.

Since there were other Insectoids who had also gone back, no one doubted this response.

But Ji Mu pondered why everyone was so interested in Lord Insect God.

Could it be that they knew of Lord Insect God’s identity?

"That shouldn’t be."

Ji Mu could not figure it out these past days and was worried that someone might mean harm to Lord Insect God.

It was not until he was in the library that he understood when he saw the annoying Plantman sitting next to Gu Yan... It seemed like he suddenly understood something!

Because Vivian had successfully transferred to the Military Academy, Gu Yan was alone again.

In fact, many people wanted to get close to her, just like Molly before, who clearly envied, envied, and hated Gu Yan in her heart, but always took the initiative to approach her.

Gu Yan knew what people like Molly wanted, so she ignored them every time.

Against such people, you must learn to refuse.

But from a certain point, Jiang Huai always seemed to show up, maintaining a distance that was comfortably close.

If he saw you were declining, he would immediately leave.

It was this behavior that made Gu Yan unable to speak too harshly.

Like today, she was sitting in the library reading and studying, as she had to write a paper on human evolution and needed to check references. Then Jiang Huai walked over. He nodded his head, didn’t say much, took a few books, and sat down across from her.

It looked like a chance encounter.

But Gu Yan always felt something was off.

Then the next moment, Ji Mu sat down boldly beside Gu Yan with a book in hand, which he held upside down.

Gu Yan turned her head to look at him, and Ji Mu blinked, "No one’s sitting next to you, right?"

"No, please do."

"Thanks then."

After sitting down, Ji Mu half-covered his face with the book, then scrutinized Jiang Huai sitting across.

Both being exchange students from alien planets, they must know each other. Jiang Huai nodded at him politely and then returned to reading his book intently.

Ji Mu frowned slightly.

Gu Yan felt that Ji Mu suddenly appeared for a reason, so she sent him a message on her light brain.

Gu Yan: Ji Mu, did you want to see me about something?

Ji Mu: How come this Jiang Huai is always around you? Does he have ulterior motives?

Ji Mu: The Lord is busy with the war. If you need any help, just tell me directly.

Gu Yan clenched her light brain and looked up to see Jiang Huai still studying across from her. He was very focused when he studied, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

Honestly, it seemed like Jiang Huai had been showing up quite frequently lately.

Almost every day at school, Gu Yan would run into him.

But each encounter seemed accidental, with no deliberate intention, as the other party would just greet her, sometimes engage in brief conversation, and then they would go about their separate tasks.

Gu Yan wasn’t being narcissistic, but with her mother’s prior warning and now hearing what Ji Mu said...

Gu Yan: Thank you, if there’s anything I need help with, I’ll definitely tell you.

Gu Yan: After I finish reading, accompany me to the military academy to find Vivian, alright?

Ji Mu: Alright.

After about another half hour, when it was time for Vivian to get out of class, Gu Yan stood up, packed her things, nodded to Jiang Huai, and then left with Ji Mu.

Jiang Huai watched the two leave without a trace, his originally gentle gaze gradually sinking.

Outside the library and walking along the road, Ji Mu greeted each passing female student while saying, "Gu Yan, that tree is definitely up to no good, you have to stay alert."

"We are classmates, we are bound to bump into each other on campus."

"At the very least, you shouldn’t be alone with him. It’s okay to be alone with me, I am absolutely loyal to our Lord Insect God!"

Gu Yan knew what Ji Mu said was true.

She nodded and said, "I won’t be alone with him."

"Good, that’s right."

Ji Mu, very concerned, kept talking non-stop until they arrived at the military academy. It was only after seeing Vivian that he felt relieved enough to leave.

They coincidentally ran into Lu Yu returning from outside.

Lu Yu had already graduated and had successfully joined the military department.

This time, he was among the first batch ofStar Warriors to go to war, and he had already returned.

When he saw Gu Yan, he was slightly stunned, greeted her, and then hesitated to speak.

Gu Yan wasn’t familiar with him and thought his behavior a bit strange, but didn’t ask further. However, as she and Vivian walked out side by side, Vivian said, "I heard that Senior Lu Yu and Senior Mu Feng who went to the war first have returned, and there were some casualties, with some severely injured."

"Where there’s war, there are casualties; I hope the entire Universe achieves peace soon."

Gu Yan had heard from her parents that this war was to get those Universe Alliance people to sign a hundred-year peace treaty.

Because only in an era of peace can everyone live a safe and happy life. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Gu Yan had thought she had nothing to do with Lu Yu and the others, but the next day as she was walking through the school, she was stopped in her tracks.

It was Luo Xixi with her eyes red and swollen.

Due to the matter with Mu Feng, the relationship between Gu Yan and Luo Xixi had become a bit stiff.

Even though technically, they were still relatives with the Luo Family.

After many events, coupled with the fact that the former Empress Luo Manya, though looking gentle, was quite ruthless, and Gu Ruanruan had no designs on the throne,

the Luo Family had become much quieter recently.

Still, Gu Yan and Luo Xixi could hardly be considered close. They wouldn’t even speak when they saw each other at school.

But now, with her eyes red, Luo Xixi was blocking Gu Yan’s path, causing Gu Yan to become very guarded.

"What’s the matter?"

"Gu Yan, please do me a favor and check on Mu Feng."

"Why?"

"Mu Feng, he’s badly injured, and he’s been in very low spirits..." Luo Xixi said, starting to cry as she spoke.

She truly liked Mu Feng.

But she was also truly arrogant and didn’t treasure him properly before, getting angry when he broke off their engagement. However, as time passed, she increasingly recognized Mu Feng’s good qualities.

Later, she heard that Mu Feng had approached Principal Gu Lei to speak on his behalf, as he wanted to be with Gu Yan.

But he was rejected.

It wasn’t long before Luo Xixi heard that Gu Yan already had a boyfriend and wouldn’t even be interested in Mu Feng.

She was actually quite relieved.

As long as she wasn’t competing with Gu Yan, then she still might have a chance to win back Mu Feng’s heart!
