Chapter 34 Do You Like Him?
Isabel just looked up and saw that Luka's usually meticulous and stern face was now anxious. He walked quickly to Qiao Susu's side, gently held her slender wrist with his big hand, and the tone of his words the next second was so gentle that Isabel had never heard before.
"Is everything alright?"
Liberi also walked past Isabel from the other side. When he saw Lukla looking at her, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he stood in front of her, with the angle just enough to block Isabel, as if isolating her from some danger.
"What did she say to you?"
The two men rushed over after hearing from the servants that Sui Sui had gone to the library to meet Lan Ze. They met on the road and exchanged glances without saying a word, then headed straight for this place. When they got closer, they saw Sui Sui and Isabel together, and Liberi frowned fiercely.
At this moment, he stared at Isabel with a bad look on his face and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Isabel was angry and aggrieved, and she retorted directly: "Which eye of yours saw me messing around? We were obviously talking normally!"
Liberi didn't believe it and stood in front of her, shielding Qiao Suisui behind him. The protective meaning was self-evident. Luka stroked her wrist bone, questioning with his eyes, repeatedly confirming that she was really okay.
"I'm fine. Her Highness the Princess just wanted to talk to me."
Isabel folded her arms, raised her chin, and glared, her eyes almost popping out. Her meaning was: See, you've wronged me!
Luka's eyes were on Qiao Susu from beginning to end, and he never looked at Isabel.
"That's all for now. I'm going to take Sui Sui back home. She can't be exposed to the wind," said Liberi.
"???? Wind? Where's the wind?" said Isabel.
"You're so strong, of course you can't feel it."
After Liberi finished speaking, he reached out and gently supported Qiao Suisui's lower back, leading her forward. Luka noticed his action, his expression paused, and then returned to his usual cold expression. His expression was not very good, and he had no intention of letting go of Qiao Suisui's wrist.
And so, the three of them passed Isabel in a harmonious yet secretly turbulent manner.
"Princess, I'll chat with you next time."
Qiao Susu turned around to greet her, but the next second, Liberi's hand pressed on her head and forced her to turn back.
Liberi sighed and said, "Don't get too close to her. She's been domineering since she was a child. Be careful, she might hurt you."
“She’s not that scary.”
"What Liberi said makes sense." Luka also rarely agreed with Liberi's thoughts, and then added softly: "They grew up together, so they understand each other better."
This statement was to say that Liberi and Isabel had a close relationship. In fact, there was no need to mention it, but Luca said it anyway.
Liberi immediately noticed his intention, sneered, and said, "If you talk about growing up together, Isabel and Luka also grew up together, so they are so devoted to him."
"I have nothing to do with her."
"If there's no relationship, why does she keep causing trouble for Sui Sui? Who is it because of?"
Luka and Liberi exchanged glances, their eyes darting. Qiao Suisui, caught in the middle, felt the temperature around her plummet, as if frozen.
"Well, I can actually go back by myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the two of them say in unison:
"I send you."
"I'll go back with you."
The two men refused to give in to each other and looked at Qiao Susu, waiting for her to make a decision.
She closed her eyes and then started moving.
"Lan Ze and I agreed to become a couple."
A sudden bomb made Luka and Liberi's brains buzz.
Feeling the man's grip on her wrist tighten slightly, Qiao Suisui looked up at Luka, who was now slightly lowered, his hair covering his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. She then looked at Liberi, who, on the other hand, had no expression on his face, his face calm.
After hearing this, the two of them fell into strange silence. After a while, Qiao Susu spoke first.
"Lan Ze and I have agreed that we will move out after we get married. As for him, he will find another place." She briefly summarized the content of the conversation she had just had with Lan Ze.
After listening, Liberi nodded and said nothing unusually.
Luka stared at her, as if he wanted to ask something, but swallowed it back.
Qiao Suisui had spoken up to avoid any unnecessary speculation or worry, but judging by their reactions, it was clear she hadn't achieved her goal. However, she wouldn't dwell on the matter too much. Regardless of Liberi and Luka's attitudes, she was determined to marry Lan Ze; it was a matter of survival.
Although she lived cautiously before crossing over, she never compromised on important matters; this was ingrained in her. Call her cold and selfish, Qiao Sui Sui always believed that living a good life was the most important thing.
Therefore, in the following time, even though she noticed Luka's depression, she did not ask again.
Liberi walked her to the door of the bedroom and left, which surprised Qiao Suisui. Because in the past, he would never let Luka be alone with her. Moreover, he had been so clingy some time ago, wanting to follow her around 24 hours a day. How could he leave without even entering her room?
She looked at Liberi's back as he left, lost in thought, not knowing that Luka had seen her expression and thought she was reluctant to see Liberi leave, and the pain in her heart deepened.
As soon as the two entered the door, Qiao Susu took off her shoes. Although her shoes were all carefully selected by Libery, with soft, comfortable soles and beautiful shapes, she would get tired easily if she stood for a long time, probably because of her pregnancy.
As she lowered her head to change her shoes, she asked naturally, "Luka, aren't you going back to the military headquarters today?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped barefoot on the carpet, I was embraced in a strong embrace.
The man's tall body hugged her from behind and remained silent for a long time.
"Luka?"
"I know I'm not qualified to ask that." He felt like his throat was stuffed with ten thousand pounds of cotton, making it impossible to speak, yet he had so much to say, "Sui Sui, do you like him?"
"who?"
He wanted to say Liberi, but then he remembered that both of them had the last name Liberi, so he said, "Lanze, or Ash."
The person in his arms was silent, but even just a few breaths seemed incredibly slow to Luka.
He didn't dare to look into her eyes, didn't dare to listen to her answer, and didn't dare to ask her.
He wanted to say that he didn't want to be with Lan Ze and didn't want to like Liberi, but the next second he deeply hated his possessiveness.
She's the only female.
Even if it wasn't Lan Ze or Ash, there would be someone else in the future. The day he rescued her from that huge birdcage, Luka knew that she would not belong to any one male.
"Luka, I..."
Qiao Susu was about to answer when he suddenly pinched her chin and then blocked her mouth with warm and soft lips.
He lingered on her lips, just to avoid hearing the answer.
"Don't say it, please."
