Chapter 46 Her Plan

Qiao Sui Sui digested this information and couldn't believe that Ash, who had kissed her so innocently and always tried to make her laugh, would take such a step.

"What will happen to him then?"

Luka's light eyes darkened a little, and he said in a deep voice, "If I win, it will be unfair and my future will be difficult. If I lose, there will be no recovery."

Qiao Susu let out a long breath, feeling extremely heavy in her heart.

Luka hesitated for a moment, then spoke up and asked, "Sui Sui, is the baby you are pregnant with Liberi?"

She nodded.

"Does he know?"

She bit her lower lip and shook her head.

Luka was silent for a few seconds, then took her hand and held it.

"Don't worry, whether Libery wins or loses, I will take care of this child."

Qiao Suisui's eyes were slightly red. It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched. She had felt Luka's gentleness and reliability since she arrived in this strange world. She could no longer simply treat him as a paper figure in a game.

She shook his hand back, sniffed, and with a firm look in her eyes, she expressed her truest thoughts.

"Luca, I don't want to go back to the Scorsese family with you."

Two hours later, Qiao Susu arrived at the two-story building that Lan Ze had taken a fancy to.

Luka came in with her, carrying an incubator.

She understood clearly that old Scorsese's neutrality had a time limit. She understood what Luka meant when he said he was loyal only to the Sun of Oslan, but if Ash succeeded tomorrow, what would become of Scorsese, who hadn't taken sides? Therefore, neutrality itself was a choice. For Luka and the entire Scorsese family, only if Neo or Gorba III became the Sun would there be any hope of survival.

This was one of the reasons why she didn't go back with Luka. She didn't want to get involved in this political struggle.

Qiao Suisui didn't trust anyone, only herself. Even if Luka could protect her, give her money, and provide her with a comfortable life, that wouldn't be as secure as relying on her own abilities. So she didn't tell anyone that she had a desperate but unavoidable plan.

"Look there."

Qiao Suisui pointed to a spot not far away, and Luka followed her gaze. There was a barren slope, with several males resting in groups of two or three beneath giant rocks. His years of military experience had allowed him to immediately determine that these were not orcs affiliated with the Interstellar Federation. The highest mental power among them was only at level B, and they looked like bounty hunters making a living by taking on casual jobs.

"The first time I came here, I insisted on this remote place. Do you know why?"

Luka looked at her and was deeply attracted by her bright and dark eyes.

"I've seen the map of this place. This is the border of Osland. On the left, it borders the Free Alliance. A few kilometers to the right is the landing point for each member state to enter Osland. For any member state coming to Osland, this is a must-go place." Qiao Suisui turned around and looked at Luka with a smile, saying, "I want to open an inn here."

She had looked at two floors and planned to convert the first floor into multiple rooms and a common area, renting them out while she temporarily lived on the second floor. She wasn't completely unconcerned about her own safety; she wouldn't risk her life, so she simply used her points to purchase a protective device, like an invisible firewall, between the two floors. Only those she trusted could enter, thus eliminating any potential security risks.

All of this is just a temporary measure. It is hard to say how things will develop in the future, but do we have to passively wait for arrangements to be made?

"There's no village or shop nearby. Those orcs who want to rest can only do so outdoors. If I can rent a room for 500 star coins a night, I can meet their needs and also provide a sustainable income."

Luka was slightly surprised, then his expression turned serious. He felt a pang of discomfort at the thought of her worrying about income.

"Sui Sui, I can give"

"I know you'll give me everything I want. But Luka, do you know what I really want?"

She wanted to be strong enough to protect herself and not be controlled by others. She wanted to create on her own, because relying on others could only bring temporary comfort, not a long-term solution.

Luka looked deeply into her eyes, finally sighed, and said, "I understand."

He hooked his arm around Su Su's waist and pulled her into his arms, his voice a little muffled.

"Do whatever you want. I'll back you up. Just remember, this is a border crossing. Not to mention the orcs from the Free Alliance, be sure to watch out for the orcs from the Wandering Alliance. Most of them are unaffiliated orcs who were driven out because of mistakes or extreme violence. They're vicious and cunning, and capable of anything."

Seeing her agreement, Luka mentally planned to have Ans arrange a rotation, with one team coming here every day to guard. This way, not only could they protect her 24 hours a day, but it would also have a deterrent effect. Desperadoes and other scoundrels generally didn't dare approach the military's garrison.

In the next few days, Qiao Susu was busy decorating the small building.

She found books on interior design from the Interstellar Online Library, and also learned some information on her computer, and put her ideas into practice on the drawings.

Since the last damage, Luka had someone repair it, and it was now in a habitable state. She and Luka moved to the second floor. The master bedroom was Qiao Suisui's room. Luka didn't ask her where she lived, and quietly lived in the same room with her. This man was very self-conscious when he should be.

There are five rooms on the second floor, one small room for the three cubs, and three rooms left. The master bedroom has a separate bathroom and toilet, making it very convenient. The toilet at the corner of the second floor serves as a shared toilet for the entire floor.

The first floor consists of a huge living room, open kitchen, toilet and five rooms.

Qiao Susu was somewhat dissatisfied with the space utilization rate on the first floor, so she separated the living room during the design and made an extra room, so that she could add another tenant.

After taking a shower in the evening, Luka was drying her hair. Seeing that she was still concentrating on choosing the decoration style for each room, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

Finally, after drying his hair, he saw that someone still had no intention of paying attention to him, so he coughed dryly and made small talk.

"Naonao spit up milk today."

Nao Nao is the most mischievous of the three cubs. Not only does he push his brothers away when feeding, but he also always puts his paws on the heads of the other two cubs when sleeping.

Qiao Suisui finally took her eyes off the laptop and looked back at him: "Is he feeling unwell?"

Luka sat beside her, his arms resting on the bed behind her. He lowered his head to inhale her fragrance, hummed absentmindedly, and said, "Maybe, but it seems okay."

Qiao Susu was confused, wondering if there was something wrong or not. She wanted to get out of bed to take a look, but the man grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.

"Where are you going?"

"Go check on the cubs."

"They're asleep."

"That's noisy"

Luka's hands wrapped around her hair, feeling the silky texture, and he felt as if the strand of hair was wrapped around his heart, itching.

"We can wait and see tomorrow. The child will eat more after vomiting."

Qiao Susu had no choice but to give up and lie in his arms.

The man's hot palm gently stroked her waist, and then moved from her waist to her stomach.

He felt her belly was bigger than before. He had missed her pregnancy with her last child and had always blamed himself. This time he could spend more time with her. Luka was still thinking to himself, his hands igniting the person in his arms.
