Chapter 274: Come Back Safe

Zhao Xuyang felt an arm wrap around him from behind and turned his head in surprise.

Then he was even more astonished, eyes wide, staring at the person holding his arm in disbelief.

His throat convulsed, wanting to say something, yet not a single word came out.

"Dad, have you already forgotten me so quickly?"

Zhao Xuerong's smile was as bright as sunlight; the noon sun shone upon her, making her glow as if she herself emitted light.

Hei Ya now had confirmed Su Baobei's feelings and was no longer flustered, so he calmly let her look.

Two dark shadows, one in front and one behind, slowly departed. The distance between them remained as usual—exactly one meter.

He didn't know why his master had suddenly spoken to him like that, nor why Su Qingying had abruptly stopped speaking to him, nor why his master had told Su Qingying, "You promised me you'd carry the child to term."... Could it be that Su Su no longer wanted the child?

"As the saying goes, a wife follows her husband. Your Majesty, you should first discuss this with the Prince before making a decision," said Yu the steward again.

Through the swaying curtain, An Yujing gazed at the scenery outside, a pleasant smile curving on her lips.

Could the lab report also be part of their scheme? Was the pregnancy real or fake? Chu Haoxuan still couldn't tell, and dared not jump to conclusions about whether Liu Shiya was in league with them.

For a moment, the room was filled with An Yujing's heart-wrenching screams and the heavy, stifled sobs.

Then dip the eyebrow powder lightly on the 'lips' a few times, letting a faint blue tint seep out—making it look like stubble left after shaving.

"Mmm..." Hua Feiluo was startled, thinking he'd been spotted by the guards, and frantically struggled with both hands.

Bai Chenxing's handsome, elegant face broke into a gentle, jade-like smile as he slowly walked toward Su Qingying.

In Lin Qin's era, Master Smiley also appeared to correct Lin Qin's actions, making him effectively Lin Qin's senior.

"Then, Third Brother agrees! Great!" Ling Ling had barely finished speaking when Gu Zixiao immediately relaxed, his face lighting up with surprise and excitement.

This was because their own strength was far too weak; after their souls split, neither possessed independent thought, leaving them both in awkward silence.

"Don't think about this now. I'll ask him when we wake up tomorrow," Sun Jianjun said, then turned off the bedside lamp.

Even when facing mortal danger, everyone kept a small amount of spirit stones for survival—just surrendering eight-tenths of their wealth was enough. This was nearly an unspoken rule: as the saying goes, leave someone a step, and you'll meet again someday.

But Gu Xiran paid no attention to her changing expression; instead, he picked up the bag beside him and prepared to leave—only to find his path blocked the next second by Wen Xueyan.

Ha ha ha, thinking of this, Chinnai couldn't help laughing inwardly—why did she feel that Satō Miki resembled Sanada Shinichirou, and Jiang Qi Yezi resembled Kirei Akaya?

"What's different?" Gu Chen chuckled, leaning in to kiss her pouting lips, his eyes brimming with such tender affection that he carried her like a baby, walking forward as if they were conjoined twins, ignoring the envious glances around them.

At the mention of Aji's name, Cilang shuddered all over and immediately scrambled off Chinnai's body—he remembered the inhuman training he'd endured after returning that day, the most unforgettable experience of his life.

"Sorry..." Lin Xin offered a truly insincere apology, then jumped again.

Even if controlling the world is exaggerated, possessing these things would surely make one the richest person on earth and the most powerful tech company—this much is basic.
