Chapter 21: Wait Until You Get Pregnant with Mine

Hearing the shout, the man turned back.

Yishabeier saw those light pupils she had been thinking about day and night, usually as bright as amber, but at this moment as cold as ice arrows.

"Are... are your wounds all healed?" She shyly took the initiative to strike up a conversation, just about to hold his arm, but saw Luka avoid it directly, leaving one of her hands awkwardly stiff in mid-air.

Yishabeier was stunned. Although Luka had been indifferent to her in the past, he had never been so distant and cold.

"I am fine. I have already applied to the Empire Sun to advance the ceremony."

The heart that had just fallen was held high again, Yishabeier pretended: "You are really in a hurry, what does it matter if it's later..."

"Princess, don't do any more unnecessary things." Luka interrupted her, his expression cold, his gaze sharp. "Otherwise, I will spare no cost..."

At the same time, Suote Republic, Ancient Human Research Center.

Zongfang was holding Qiao Suisui and sitting on the sofa. At this moment, it looked like he was browsing a report, but in fact, his attention was on the girl in his arms.

Today he received an invitation, which was an independent electronic screen as thin as paper, scrolling through photos of Luka and Yishabeier every year from childhood to adulthood, as well as the venue and time of the ceremony. Since becoming closer to her, he had many guesses about her relationship with Luka, and now it was just a chance to test her attitude.

Qiao Suisui held the invitation and looked at it very seriously.

Her feelings were very complicated. Although she knew this day would definitely come, she didn't expect it to be so fast. Clearly, she was still pregnant with his young in her belly, yet he was going to "marry" someone else. Thinking of this, she subconsciously reached out and touched her round belly.

Zongfang saw her action, hugged her from behind, and his large hand caressed her pregnant belly.

"What's wrong? Uncomfortable?"

She shook her head, yawned, and said pretending not to care: "I was thinking about what kind of congratulatory gift would be better."

Zongfang took the invitation from her hand and threw it aside, kissing her earlobe while asking: "Don't you mind?"

"Mind what?"

Zongfang stopped his intimate actions, observing and doubting calmly.

"He had a child with you, but now he is going to be the spouse of another female. Do you really not mind at all?"

She lowered her eyes and remained silent, with no reaction on the surface, but her brain was turning fast.

Seeing her head down and silent, the man thought she was sad, and his expression immediately turned cold. He pinched her chin with his hand, forcing her to look up.

"Sikesaisi can't beat me, how about I help you tie him over?" Zongfang took off his glasses, his long, narrow phoenix eyes smiling but not smiling, looking like a good-tempered person. "It just so happens that you are about to give birth, you must really want to see him, right, hmm?"

Qiao Suisui's alarm bells rang in her heart. The more gentle this man smiled, the angrier he was.

She still lowered her eyelids, expressionless, her eye tails stained with a little sadness, and said coldly: "Okay. Bring him here now."

Zongfang pinched her neck, his face showing slight anger. "You want him by your side that much?"

Qiao Suisui didn't resist either, didn't look at him, just shed tears silently. Zongfang looked at her reaction, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but lighten the force on his hand.

"Why are you crying? I'll tie him over, are you not satisfied?"

After speaking, he saw Qiao Suisui crying even harder, tears flowing like broken pearls, she bit her lower lip, her nose red, both making people want to bully her and making people's hearts soften into a puddle.

"I was hit by an aphrodisiac when I was auctioned, and when I woke up, I found myself in his palace... If you hadn't brought me back, I wouldn't even know I was pregnant..." Qiao Suisui choked as if she couldn't go on.

"Did he force you?" Zongfang frowned and asked.

She didn't answer, just shed tears in silence.

Not a single word of these words was false, because Zongfang was suspicious and sharp. Lying in front of him, even if the acting was realistic, it was easy to be exposed, so Qiao Suisui only told the truth, just selectively telling a part and hiding the other part.

A high-level liar's weapon is sincerity.

Zongfang hugged her, let her head lean on his shoulder, and gently caressed her head with his hand. At this moment, his voice had slowed down, not as deliberate as before, and there was no more anger.

"I didn't know these, you should have told me. Qiaoqiao, it's my fault."

She tapped his chest lightly, tears in her eyes, as if annoyed, and as if blaming. "I said it long ago, this child is my child alone, and it has nothing to do with anyone."

Zongfang hugged her coaxingly with heartache, and didn't mention Luka's matter anymore. Qiao Suisui buried her head in his shoulder, her eyes, which had just been red from crying, were now calm.

The invitation thrown on the ground was still playing photos, Qiao Suisui saw one of them, and suddenly her eyes flashed.

The photo was of a very romantic venue, seemingly used for the ceremony. What attracted Sui Sui's attention was the word "GG" spelled out with flowers in the corner of the photo.

The day she went to the Huangjia Yiyuan, Laiboli later asked what a "blood slot" was, and she simply told him a few popular terms used when playing games. The original meaning of GG was that the losing side admits defeat, and later it was brushed on the public screen by everyone to express sarcasm. Because popular terms were not recorded in the Ancient Human language system, Zongfang didn't notice that this was a code that only she and Laiboli knew in this world.

Qiao Suisui realized that Laiboli was hinting at her in this hidden way.

She lowered her eyes to hide her thoughts, and after a while, she straightened her body from the man's arms, looked at him with red eyes, and asked: "Do you dislike the young in my belly?"

Zongfang caressed her hair and was rarely silent.

"You really dislike it, then you might as well send me back to Sikesaisi directly."

"You are dreaming."

Zongfang circled her, his large hand holding her waist tightly.

"No male will raise another male's child, especially gregarious beastmen like lions. Once he finds that his young have the scent of another kind of male, he will at least exile them, and at worst, bite them to death directly."

She was quite surprised and said: "Even if viviparous young are so rare and precious now, will they still do this?"

"The Sikesaisi family is hereditary, passed down from one to another, they will never allow the slightest uncertainty in bloodline. I am a snake beastman, I like to be alone, there are not so many rules, I can raise his children for you, but that means letting them lose the chance to return to the family forever, which is the cruelest thing for a lion."

Sui Sui was a bit surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that Zongfang, who was always cold and overbearing, would consider the young so far ahead.

Zongfang kissed her forehead and the corner of her eye, and said softly: "Qiaoqiao, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, just give birth with peace of mind. I will solve it all."

"How to solve it?"

"If you want to raise them, we will raise them. How many young can I not afford to raise? As for whether they will return to the group when they grow up, let them watch it themselves."

Well, a little fatherly love but not much.

Qiao Suisui said: "What if I don't want to keep them by my side?"

Zongfang's beautiful phoenix eyes flashed, and hearing her have this idea, a subtle joy rose in his eyes instead.

"Then I will pack them up and throw them back to Ausilan."

He buried his head in her neck, smelled that familiar scent, and couldn't help but feel calm in his heart, even his chest was filled.

"Qiaoqiao, wait until you get pregnant with mine, we will raise it together."
