Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

In the Federal Empire, any woman who had reached twenty years of age must get married, or be randomly assigned a husband by the System. Thus, on her wedding day, the eve of her 20th birthday, Valerie Sullivan waited anxiously for her betrothed, Isaac Holt, to show up—only to find out that he was not coming after all! Trapped in this desperate situation, she grabbed the first handsome stranger she bumped into and got him to be her stand-in groom. It did not hurt that this mysterious Jonny was just her type—young and innocent-looking, with furry ears and a large fluffy tail. So, what if he seemed a little lost and confused? The wedding went on as planned, and Valerie was saved from public humiliation but only for the moment. After all, her marriage to Isaac was supposed to solidify the business partnership between the Sullivans and the Holts. In addition, her sister, Madeline, did not seem too happy that things turned out well for Valerie. Worst of all, Valerie found out that Jonny was an important, influential figure—Jonathan Gunn—the first commander of the Empire and uncle to the current monarch! Who had Valerie actually married—the sensitive, adorable Jonny, or the formidable, impassive Jonathan? Would this last-second pairing end in true love or divorce?

Chapter 168: Good opportunity, to pat or not to pat?

"Uncle, how did you know? Lan Rui is indeed on the exchange student list because I promised Lan Ruochen I'd introduce his sister to the outstanding single young men of our Gu Family."

Gu Jue cut off the contact.

He turned around and mentioned this to Su Wan.

Su Wan squinted her eyes, eating the roasted fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Had the Mermaid Princess changed her target?

It would be for the best.

Otherwise, when she arrived at Empire University, Su Wan would definitely 'welcome her' properly!

After dinner, Su Wan took the notes that Gu Jue had made earlier and went back to her original room to study seriously.

Recently, she had been learning about the Command Department at school.

She suddenly realized that being a successful Commander was not easy at all.

First and foremost, you had to make all your warriors acknowledge and trust you.

On this point, Su Wan was lacking.
