Chapter 51

Qiao Suisui was somewhat troubled.

How should she answer?

Say she likes him? But she knew clearly that she hadn't reached that level with Laiboli. Say she doesn't like him? Then she was currently carrying Laiboli's child, how was she to explain that?

She lowered her eyelids, not wanting to answer this question directly. But the man in front of her clearly didn't want to let her off so easily.

Luka's hand touched her cheek, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips.

"Suisui, I want to know your true thoughts."

In fact, since being with her, Luka had never demanded much, and had never even mentioned the position of a mate. It wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he didn't want to put pressure on her.

But he also had parts he couldn't compromise on, and that was wanting to know who she cared about more in her heart.

At first, he thought there might be some bond between Zongfang and her, but ever since he saw Zongfang get injured to protect her, and she hadn't asked about his condition even once since then, Luka knew she didn't have this person in her heart. He breathed a huge sigh of relief because of this.

However, she was somewhat different toward Laiboli; not only was she carrying his youngling, but she would also worry about him faintly. Although Suisui hadn't expressed this much, Luka could keenly perceive it.

Moreover, Laiboli's seizure of power this time gave Luka an unprecedented sense of urgency. After all, the one he had to be loyal to was the Sun of Aosilan. When the time came, if Laiboli wanted to snatch her away from his side, he would definitely fight him at all costs. But what if that was what Suisui wanted... What if she liked Laiboli and wanted to go to his side...

"Luka, what are you worried about?" Qiao Suisui still didn't answer, but wrapped her arms around his neck and asked him softly.

"I..." His large hand touched her waist, the scorching temperature of his palm making her body temperature rise along with it. "I guess the first thing Laiboli will do after ascending the throne is to come and take you back to the Imperial Court. When that time comes, will you go with him?"

"No."

She answered quickly, but very firmly.

The light-golden pupils were startled, the arm holding her tightened a bit more, and his throat felt a bit tight. He asked, "Why?"

"Because I have the life I want to live." Qiao Suisui smiled faintly, looked at Luka, and asked, "What about you? Are you willing to stay in this remote place and live with me?"

Luka didn't answer. If you looked closely, you could see that his fingertips were trembling slightly at this moment. But for Qiao Suisui, he had already answered, because the love contained in those eyes had already overflowed.

"Where you are, I am."

After saying this, the man kissed her lips deeply, their lips and tongues intertwined.

While being kissed, Qiao Suisui was gently placed on the soft bed by Luka, his large hand firmly clasping her small hand, his five fingers deeply inserted into the gaps between her fingers.

Although Luka still hadn't received a direct answer from her, he felt that those things were no longer important at this moment. What was important was that she had invited him into her life, which made his heart feel completely filled.

Although the soundproofing of the small building was very good, the hearing of beastmen was very sensitive.

Ka'er on the first floor was startled when he heard the soft moans coming from upstairs, and then immediately frowned, the irritability in his heart growing even stronger.

At night, the cool breeze blew away the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

Luka watched the person who was already fast asleep gently, pulled the quilt up for her, and kissed her forehead before walking out of the room.

He hadn't fed the cubs raw meat today, so he took a quick shower and went to the kitchen, just happening to run into Ka'er coming out of the living room.

The two men looked at each other, and both saw displeasure in each other's eyes.

"Why are you here?"

Ka'er was on a special mission this time and carried a concealment device on him, which was why Luka hadn't sensed his presence immediately.

"I'm her guest, after all." Ka'er raised an eyebrow and smiled, whistling. "Colonel Sikesaisi's energy is truly good; so busy during the day, yet still so 'diligent in handling state affairs' after returning."

Luka ignored his sarcasm, walked to the kitchen, and began preparing the raw meat, but he was somewhat distracted. A male had appeared in the house, yet Suisui hadn't mentioned a word of it to him.

Because he was in completely different states in front of others compared to in front of Qiao Suisui, at this moment, he might as well have had "strangers keep out" carved on his face, his whole body exuding a cold and stern aura.

Yet Ka'er was an anomaly; he wasn't afraid of him at all, and in fact, found him very unpleasant. This feeling hadn't been there when he first met Luka. When did it appear?

Perhaps it was when he heard him making someone cry without restraint just now, or perhaps earlier, when he saw him go to great lengths to rescue her from Zongfang and stay by her side ever since... No matter how he looked at it, it was an eyesore. Logically speaking, Luka's military rank was actually completely higher than Ka'er's. Although they belonged to two different departments, they should have given each other respect based on their ranks.

"By the way, is the little boss feeling any better?" Ka'er asked idly, leaning against the door frame.

Hearing this, Luka turned his head to look at him, frowned, and asked, "What are you referring to?"

Ka'er looked innocent, his tone exaggerated: "You don't know? She vomited this afternoon and looked very uncomfortable. Eh? Didn't she tell you?"

Luka recalled the somewhat pale complexion Suisui had when he returned, and holding the bowl, he suddenly forgot the next step.

Ka'er curled his lips in a cold sneer, continuing to mock in a cool tone: "No matter how good the Colonel's physical strength is, you should still take care of the female's body." After saying this, he returned to his room.

The man in the kitchen held the bowl, lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the metal spoon in his hand had been squeezed out of shape.

The next day, when Qiao Suisui woke up, it was already noon. She went downstairs as usual, intending to eat something, but saw two men sitting in the living room, staring at each other with wide eyes, neither speaking, the atmosphere very tense.

"You two..."

"Awake?" Luka stood up immediately after seeing her, touched her head, and asked, "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten since last night. Seeing you sleeping soundly, I didn't call you."

The intimacy between the two made Ka'er sneer unpleasantly. His two arms were spread out on the back of the sofa, his whole person lazily sunken into the sofa, and he raised his chin at Qiao Suisui: "Little boss, I haven't eaten either."

Qiao Suisui held the tableware, blinked, and politely added: "How about we eat together?"

Ka'er gave a wicked smile, and after seeing the gloomy expression of the man behind her, he triumphantly said: "Sure."

In fact, neither of the two men ate much during the meal. Ka'er had been on missions for years and had long since developed the habit of not eating, always solving everything with a nutrient solution. Luka had begun to study human habits after knowing Suisui's identity as a human. Although he had no desire for food, he enjoyed the time spent eating with her. Therefore, after an extra male was added to the dining table, he had been restraining his annoyance.

Qiao Suisui felt very uncomfortable with the two people opposite her staring at her, so she found a topic.

"Do you know what the Wing War actually is? Why can't I find any information about it on Nebula?"
