Chapter 47 Daily Life in the New Home
The man lay on his side on the bed, causing a dent in the bed. In his arms was a small ball, and his hands patted her back gently and slowly.
After making sure she was sound asleep, Luka pulled the quilt up over her, almost covering half of her face. However, he was afraid that she would not be able to breathe, so her nose and mouth would be exposed.
He tiptoed out of the room and went to the kitchen to get some small pieces of meat, all raw, and used them to feed the three cubs.
The cubs were weaned too early and are now using cub nutrient solution for transition. However, Luka is worried that they will not get enough nutrition, so he consulted the elders in the tribe and learned to feed the three little ones raw meat.
He could have told Qiao Suisui about this and let her feed the baby herself, but Luka didn't want to burden her with that. Especially since she was pregnant, and humans weren't as well-nourished as orcs, he preferred to let the cub starve without mentioning it. Nao Nao vomited because he wasn't used to the nutrient solution.
He looked at the three little ones scrambling for food, and his thoughts drifted away. He wondered how the little cub that Zongfang had abducted was doing now, and whether he had eaten enough...
Thinking of this, he made a video call to Ans.
"Colonel."
"How is he?"
Ans knew he was asking about Munakata's condition, so he reported, "He's been rescued. The nano bullets in his body have been removed, but he hasn't woken up yet and is currently being held at the military headquarters. Do you want to come back and interrogate him personally?"
Luka glanced at the master bedroom door and said, "Wait a minute. What about the Imperial Court?"
"It's not good. In principle, the military only obeys the orders of the Sun, but now His Highness Neo has asked everyone to sign a joint letter in order to gain more support. And His Highness Ash still hasn't given up the battle. The entire Imperial Court is now in chaos."
Ons recalled today's events. Princess Isabel's spouses, realizing something was amiss, abandoned her and fled back to their respective clans. Now, only a male from a relatively insignificant clan remained by her side. The other royal family members flocked to His Highness Lan Ze, begging for a glimpse of the future, but for some reason, He remained unmoved, shutting himself in and refusing to see anyone.
Luka hummed, gave a few instructions, and hung up. He habitually reached into his trouser pocket for a cigarette, then remembered that he had quit smoking for some time.
Ever since he found Sui Sui, he has been forced to quit smoking. At first, he felt uncomfortable all over, but later he got used to it. He knew she didn't like the smell, and now that she was pregnant, he couldn't let her smell the smell of cigarettes.
The man glanced at the time. He could only stay with her for another two hours before he had to go and deal with military matters. He returned to the room silently, hugged her from behind, and closed his eyes, greedily breathing in her scent.
Qiao Susu slept soundly all night without any dreams. When she woke up, she found a cup of warm water on the bedside, but the bed beside her was empty. She didn't know when Luka left.
After changing her clothes and washing up, she went downstairs and saw breakfast already on the table. It must have been made for her by Luka before he left.
She was a little dazed looking at the seven or eight dishes on the table. At present, there were only the two of them and three puppies in the house, so it felt like a home. Obviously, Luka was the gentle and reliable husband. She didn't have to take care of the puppies herself, and she didn't have to cook for herself. Not to mention the material aspects. Since giving birth, Qiao Suisui has not spent a penny. All her expenses, even the expenses of the puppies, were paid by Luka.
She ate while supporting her chin, her cheeks puffed out and her eyes blinking as she thought.
They are clearly not married, so why do they feel like they are living together?
After breakfast, Qiao Susu started to get busy.
She first used her laptop to video chat with Lan Ze. Since she left, she has been concerned about his rehabilitation progress every day.
"I'm fine, Sui Sui, you don't have to worry about this."
"Really? But I saw news spreading in the Nebula that there was a heresy in the Oslan royal family, and some people have begun to suspect it."
Lan Ze smiled gently and said, "It will be fine in ten days."
Seeing how confident he was, and thinking of his predictive ability, Qiao Susu stopped asking questions.
"Then after ten days, shall we go to the Women's Health Association to register?"
Lan Ze was stunned.
Things had been changing so frequently recently that they were supposed to hold their marriage ceremony two days ago, but the current situation forced them to put it on hold. Seeing that Qiao Sui Sui hadn't mentioned it, Lan Ze had assumed the matter was over, but he hadn't expected her to remember it all along.
The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, but he tried hard to suppress it, not letting himself show his excitement. In fact, at this moment, even the corners of his eyes were wrinkled with laughter.
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it."
Qiao Suisui said, "Let's not make a big deal about it. By then, the civil unrest will have just ended, so it's best not to make a big deal about anything."
She wanted to keep her word. After all, she already lived in the house. Even though Gorba III's fate was uncertain, the threat of using Luka to hold her hostage was easily resolved, and she wouldn't have to mate with any male. But Lan Ze had injured both legs saving her. Would any female be willing to mate with him after this? The thought of this made her feel even more guilty.
The system had indicated that Lan Ze's genes were superior, and since she was doing it for the points, if Lan Ze agreed, she wouldn't mind having a child with him. This would solidify his position within the royal family and alleviate her guilt a bit. But after all, Qiao Sui Sui still felt she was responsible for Lan Ze.
"Let's just go to the Female Protection Association and register as a mate. Let's keep it simple."
Lan Ze certainly had no objection, "It's up to you."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Lan Ze finally gave a worried reminder: "By the way, Sui Sui, don't open the door to strangers in the next few days."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Lan Ze was a little hesitant. Considering that she was pregnant and shouldn't worry too much, and Luka should always be by her side, she shook her head and smiled, "It's okay. Things have been chaotic lately. Anyway, just be careful."
After hanging up the video call, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if the huge stone that had been weighing on her heart for the past few days had been lifted. She felt the joy of having solved a troublesome matter, and she didn't think too much about Lan Ze's last instructions, because she soon received a batch of furniture that she had ordered using the computer last night.
Luka has already hired someone to renovate the first floor, and all that’s left is to equip it with living facilities before it can be rented out.
Qiao Suisui signed for the items and then began to arrange them bit by bit. In this world, all packages were compressed and shipped out according to regulations. They were the size of an A4 sheet of paper, and their weight was almost negligible. I really didn't know how they did it.
Even if she had to carry several packages at once, it wouldn't have been easy for Qiao Suisui, with her bulging belly. She carried two stacked packages to the largest room on the first floor, positioned them, and tapped the confirm button on her computer. The box, originally the size of an A4 sheet, popped open with a loud bang, like popcorn popping. A double bed popped out and landed firmly on the floor.
Friends, I will update at 12 noon from now on. If there is a delay, it is because of the review. I will try my best to write less vulgar (scared) (hug myself tightly)
