Chapter 24 Thank you for the special invitation

Zong Fang's expression faded a little, he raised his eyelids and asked, "Do you want to go?"

"This way you won't have to go to the military and suffer so much."

Zongfang's expression eased a little, but he still didn't want her to have direct contact with Luka, so he didn't respond.

Qiao Suisui rolled her eyes, a look of longing appeared on her face, and she said casually, "Also, I haven't seen a pairing ceremony yet. I heard it's very grand. It would be great if I could go and see it. Then I can learn how to arrange our pairing ceremony."

"What did you say?"

"The royal marriage ceremony is very grand."

"No, next sentence."

“It would be nice if I could go and see it.”

"No. Yes."

When Zong Fang saw her sly smile, he immediately realized that the little girl was playing a trick on him. He was so angry that he hugged her and kissed her hard.

"I heard you talking about our mating ceremony."

He hugged her and watched Sui Sui playing with his silver hair and snuggling in his arms, so obedient and lovable. An unreal sense of happiness rose in his heart.

"Qiao Qiao." He looked down at her with a serious expression: "Will you let me be your spouse?"

She was startled by the tenderness in Zongfang's eyes, and then she thought that he was a man with a strong possessiveness and control desire, and he would definitely not accept sharing a mate with other males, so she said: "Zongfang, I want you to be my only mate."

Zong Fang's eyes were red, and he immediately lowered his eyes to cover it up, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his mood at the moment. He held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted Qiao Sui Sui to melt into his bones and blood and become one with him.

"Okay. I will never betray you, Qiao Qiao."

Qiao Suisui rested her chin on his broad shoulders, her face cold and silent, and then she said in a sweet voice, "Yeah, me too."

The next day, at the Oslan Royal Court.

Luka's face is reflected in the palace-style floor-length mirror. He is wearing a slim-cut top with a pronounced waist design that highlights his already superior proportions even more vividly. With long legs, a narrow waist and broad shoulders, he looks like a walking clothes rack.

Ons was also shocked when he came in. Military uniforms are always straight and tough, which matches the colonel's handsome temperament very well, but he didn't expect that he could be so suave in such a gorgeous and exaggerated court dress.

"arranged?"

Hearing Luka's question, Ans came back to his senses, and then said seriously: "Yes, everyone is in place, as soon as Zongfang appears, we will capture him."

Luka nodded and adjusted his cuffs. His profile reflected in the mirror had sharp lines and a stern expression.

"Remember, the ceremony cannot be held regardless of whether Sui Sui appears or not."

"Yes. Colonel, do I need to inform His Royal Highness Libery?"

On the day he requested to move the ceremony forward, he asked Ans to start preparations, one to find Sui Sui back, and the other to bring people to destroy his own marriage ceremony. Luka looked downstairs at the garden. At this time, many nobles had gathered in the venue. Liberi, wearing a white stand-up collar suit, was smiling and toasting.

"No need. He must have made some plans, but he won't tell me."

Luka was very clear that Liberi was using him. He was willing to be used just for Sui Sui, but that didn't mean he would obediently marry the princess so that Liberi would have the opportunity to monopolize Sui Sui.

Something was quietly changing between these two former friends.

Qiao Sui Sui didn't know about these arrangements, she didn't even know how she got here. When she opened her eyes, she appeared in a gorgeously decorated palace. After seeing the needle hole on her arm, she immediately understood. Although she had coaxed him to bring her here yesterday, Zong Fang's suspicion was engraved in his bones. He probably gave her a sleeping pill because he was afraid that she would remember the way here and run away.

But he didn't expect that Qiao Sui Sui had no intention of escaping. As long as she entered the imperial court, she could use Liberi to suppress Zong Fang. No matter how good he was at fighting, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake. Liberi really came soon.

"Suisui!"

"Ash, how did you find me?"

"Evan's beast form is a bat, and his talent is to use echolocation, but it is limited in distance, so I asked you to come to the Imperial Court. I asked Evan to hold back Zong Fang, and the flying ship is waiting outside, let's go."

Liberi took her hand and was about to leave, but found that Qiao Susu did not respond.

"Sui Sui, what's wrong?"

"Go? Where are you going?"

Liberi squatted in front of her, smiling, and said, "I plan to give up everything in the royal family and go with you to a place where no one can find us. Don't worry, I have arranged everything. When you give birth to the child, we will raise it together."

She looked at Liberi's hopeful eyes and frowned slightly. "Mongfang won't let me go, and running away is not a solution. Since this is the Imperial Court, you can just catch him."

Libery's smile froze, and he looked into her inky black eyes and said, "Although I am a member of the royal family, I don't have any real power, so I can't mobilize people at will." After he finished speaking, he saw that her expression turned cold, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Sui Sui, don't you want to go with me?"

She nodded, not hiding the disappointment in her eyes.

When Libery saw her reaction, he felt as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat. He licked his lips and said with difficulty: "Is it because of Scorsese?"

"No."

Her answer was quick and firm, giving Libery a glimmer of hope.

"why."

"What I want is a stable and safe life. Ash, thank you so much, but I don't want to live a life of hiding from people, and I shouldn't live that kind of life."

Her tone was calm and her voice was soft, but Libery felt as if these words had a thousand pounds of force, brushing him away heavily.

She meant that he wasn't strong enough to protect her.
He didn't know that a lot had changed in Sui Sui's heart. Because she was locked up by Zong Fang, everything needed his approval, and she lived a life of dependence every day. She felt like she was back to the suffocating family she had been in, carefully trying to please her family and living under someone else's roof.

She was fed up with this kind of life.

Since she is already in the game, why can't she take control of her own life?

She didn't want to be the weak one who always needed to be rescued.

After saying this, Qiao Susu stood up and passed by Liberi.

Liberi, who had been squatting there with his head down, now had his eyes wide open, his handsome face twisted, and a strong sense of unwillingness made his whole body tremble.

After leaving the room, Qiao Susu came to the garden with her belly held up. Applause and cheers came from not far ahead, and a ceremony must be taking place.

She sighed and made a decision.

She didn't want to ruin Luka's happiness, but now the path to Liberi was blocked and Luka was her only option. She hoped that he could help her deal with Zongfang for the sake of the cub.

Just as she walked into the venue, she heard a loud 'boom' and the entire earth shook with the huge explosion.

Qiao Suisui was unable to stand firmly during the swaying and fell heavily to the ground. Suddenly, she felt a "whoosh" and her lower body loosened.

Oops, my water broke.
