Chapter 103: Jealousy

~7 min read 1,374 words

Just as the needle tip was about to pierce her arm, the syringe was snatched away!

Zongfang looked up and saw Luka, who had rushed over, pushing him away while panting.

Luka leaned over and touched Qiao Suisui's head, saying: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine." After saying that, he instructed the medical team to perform surgery on her and take out the child.

Laiboli roared low: "You're crazy!"

Zongfang also disagreed, "The child can be gone, she is the most important."

Luka's light golden pupils looked at Zongfang ruthlessly, saying: "Since you know she is the most important, why do you ignore her wishes again and again?"

He didn't want to make such a decision either, but based on his understanding of Qiao Suisui, if they really ignored her wishes and took the child away today, even if they saved her life, she wouldn't feel happy, and might even drift further and further away from them.

Luka didn't waste any more breath on the two of them and said directly to the doctor: "Prepare for surgery."

The entire surgery lasted for three hours. When the door was finally opened, there was already a pile of cigarette butts at Luka's feet. Zongfang seemed to have been pressed by a pause button, just standing blankly in front of the door, motionless. Laiboli paced back and forth, restless.

The moment the doctor came out, the three men spoke at the same time: "How is it?"

The doctor hurriedly wiped his sweat and replied: "It's fine, it's fine, both are safe. Miss Qiao gave birth to nine snake eggs."

Zongfang had already gone in before he finished speaking. Laiboli wanted to follow, but was stopped by Luka.

"What are you doing?"

"Let them talk."

Laiboli was truly furious, "Sikesaisi, whose side are you on?"

Luka didn't answer, only pointed his chin toward the direction of the palace, signaling: "Sometimes, not interfering can get the result you want."

Laiboli heard the deep meaning in his words and also looked toward the inner room, only to see Zongfang run to her bedside and stop, seemingly not daring to step forward.

Qiao Suisui had just finished listening to the system's broadcast. She had already used the system to restore her physical state, and the incision on her abdomen had been wiped away instantly. Among the nine snake eggs born this time, one egg had a genetic mutation—a two-headed King Cobra, with a grade of SS, and all the others were also excellent genes, five males and four females, with six being S-grade. This was also related to the improvement of her own mental power level, so this time a total of 1600 points were rewarded, plus the 300 points left before, totaling 1900 points. In addition, this time the system rewarded her with mental power origin stones and a pile of props.

But she really wasn't in the mood to look at the rewards at this moment. Although the points obtained from this pregnancy far exceeded expectations, she suddenly felt disgusted by this method. Since coming to this world, her stomach hadn't stopped, and although the damage to her body could be said to be negligible, her mental state had become extremely exhausted.

"Qiaoqiao..."

She heard Zongfang's voice sound by the bedside, turned her head away, calmed her breathing, and swallowed the ups and downs that were about to rush to her throat.

It was afternoon, and the sunlight hit Zongfang's back through the window, but he only felt cold all over, his heart as desolate as a sun-dried plain.

He moved his lips, wanting to talk to her, but felt his throat dry and astringent.

"I'm sorry."

He didn't know how he spat out these three words. After saying them, the thousand-pound weight on his heart didn't become lighter, but instead became panicked, as if it had no place to land.

"Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean I didn't want our child, I..."

Only after saying it did he realize how pale these words were.

Qiao Suisui opened her eyes gently, looked sideways, and saw Zongfang kneeling by her bed at some point, stiff as a corpse.

The man held her hand gently.

Zongfang really wanted to hug her, wanted to smell the scent on her body, to make himself come alive, but seeing her lying there weakly, with a kind of broken beauty, he was cautious even when touching her.

"When did it start hurting?" His voice was hoarse.

"Two days ago, something happened at school."

Zongfang closed his eyes in self-reproach. At that time, he was still obsessed with waiting for her to take the initiative to contact him, blaming her for not caring about him at all.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

His throat was even difficult to pronounce, and he spoke extremely carefully.

"If you had told me at the first opportunity, I would definitely have..."

"What are you thinking, and did you tell me?" Qiao Suisui interrupted him coldly, saying: "The night you came back from the banquet, why did you leave alone?"

Zongfang was shocked, and Lan Ze's words echoed in his mind, as clear as yesterday—

"You think I'll fall for it if you play some tricks behind my back? You want to insert yourself, why don't you weigh your strength first? What can you give her? Does she need you? It's nothing more than a verbal engagement; she doesn't have that kind of thought for you at all."

Lan Ze smiled and said: "And you? What do you count as? Her first spouse has appeared now. Do you guess that when she falls in love with someone else, will she still remember you?"

"You think I'll believe it?"

Lan Ze smiled gently, "Believe it or not, this is an established fact. Do you really know your weight in her heart? If she loved you, why wouldn't she make you her spouse?"

Speaking of this, Lan Ze suddenly had an expression of sudden realization and said: "If you were really sure about your relationship, how could you be hostile to my appearance? So... you're not sure either."

"..."

"But don't worry, I'm not worthy of Sui Sui, and of course, I can't be her first spouse. Her heart is very small, only enough for one person. Do you guess, if she gives it to that person, will she look at you again?"

That night, Zongfang had dissipated all his drunkenness before returning home.

Lan Ze's words kept winding in his mind like a lingering demon.

In order to restrain his emotions, and also because of the jealousy in his heart, he deliberately kept his distance from her. He wanted to prove Lan Ze was wrong, wanted to prove Qiao Suisui cared about him.

But Zongfang didn't understand that the last thing needed in love was proof.

So he foolishly waited for her contact every day, but the light brain never lit up once. After finishing today, he told himself, maybe she would call tomorrow; after finishing tomorrow, he persuaded himself again, it had only been two days since they separated, she would definitely ask him why he didn't look for her the day after tomorrow. But day after day, her ID never lit up, and he was the one being tortured.

On the last day, he couldn't hold back anymore.

He gave himself a hundred excuses to contact her in his heart, and hung up the second after dialing. That day, he grabbed a piece of clothing and went out, speeding up the flying ship to the fastest, and the original half-day journey took only two and a half hours. He started rehearsing again in front of her door, with a stomach full of drafts, but the ones who opened the door in the end were two pretty boys.

The moment Zongfang saw Anubis, a conjecture suddenly emerged.

The first spouse in Lan Ze's mouth, perhaps it was him.

After realizing this, his eyes instantly became gloomy, and his face was somewhat distorted.

No wonder...

No wonder she had never contacted him.

With the person she liked by her side, how could she remember that someone was waiting for her to come home?
