Chapter 116 Attachment
"Do you like this look?"
Qiao Susu's hand seemed to be stung, and she struggled to escape from his hot palm.
"I'm stuffed."
She stood up a little panicked and wanted to leave, but Karl grabbed her waist and she fell on the man's strong legs due to the force.
"My goodness, I'm not full yet."
She had just grabbed an unused fork in a panic, and now she clenched her hands, with the tip of the fork pressing against Carl's muscular chest.
"Why, are you trying to kill me?"
As soon as she stood up, Karl pinched her waist and pressed her back onto her legs.
Qiao Susu felt his tight thigh muscles and the scorching temperature beneath his clothes.
"Sit still. If you move again, I really can't guarantee what will happen."
Qiao Susu immediately stopped moving.
"Please, please let me go."
"Hold me for a while." Karl looked at her calmly, but his eyes were filled with desire. "Just for a while."
She felt that gaze was so scorching that her skin felt as if it was being burned. She struggled uncomfortably and her hand accidentally pressed on his lower abdomen.
A suppressed groan.
Karl's breathing became heavier, desire surged in his eyes, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He patted her little butt lightly and said through gritted teeth, "You are really not afraid of me."
Qiao Suisui didn't know what he was talking about. She put her hands on his shoulders, frowned and said, "Karl, don't be so unreasonable."
"Why am I being unreasonable?"
His hand was clamped around her waist like an iron clamp, and the other hand was covering her abdomen. He still had a scoundrel look on his face: "Don't be so stubborn, okay? I'm injured."
Qiao Susu thought he was joking again, and hit the place where his hand was covering, neither lightly nor heavily, "Stop acting, my indifference can't hurt you. Put me down now."
Karl smiled, slowly let go of his hand, and watched her get up from him. The warmth on his legs was still there, but the words she said made his heart cold.
"I really want to thank you for saving me. I owe you one. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely help you to the best of my ability."
Is this to draw a line?
"No need for later, I have a favor to ask you right now."
"What?"
Karl grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, hugged her directly, and lowered his head to kiss her. Everything happened so suddenly that Qiao Suisui opened her eyes wide, and by the time she reacted, the man had already let her go.
Unlike the last time, this time the kiss ended just a few seconds after it touched her lips, but his passion and force made Qiao Susu's mind go blank, and she even heard the other's heartbeat in those few short seconds of closeness.
Karl took her hand and slapped it on his face, looking like a quarreling couple, the man provoking his girlfriend and then coming to apologize with a strong desire to survive. After provoking her, he would coax her, and after coaxing her, he would provoke her again, and he never got tired of it.
"Is this the help you said you would provide?" Qiao Susu punched him in the chest again in frustration.
“No.” Karl didn’t dodge or evade. He smiled like a jerk, his eyes shining, and then said in her ear in a very low and ambiguous voice: “It’s to help you not be angry with me.”
It was almost midnight when Qiao Suisui saw Carl off. She found that time flew by so quickly when she was chatting with him. When she returned to her palace, she found Luka sitting on the sofa waiting for her. Qiao Suisui felt a little guilty for some reason.
She turned on the floor lamp, and the room was filled with warm light, which shone on the man and dispelled his weariness.
"Luka, why are you still awake so late?"
He had changed into loose clothes at this time, and his golden hair was loosely covering his forehead. He looked completely different from his usual meticulous appearance during the day, and looked more like a warm, generous and good-tempered lion.
Qiao Suisui walked over and sat down, resting her head naturally on his legs, looking up at him. At this moment, her two long white legs were draped over the back of the sofa, relaxed and comfortable. Luka lowered his eyes and looked at her, his hand stroking her hair. The two chatted for a while, and Qiao Suisui yawned.
"Luka, I'm so sleepy."
"Um."
The man picked her up from the sofa and walked into the inner hall. When he was about to put her on the bed, Qiao Susu hugged his neck and refused to let go.
"Didn't you say you were sleepy?"
She snuggled in his arms, smelling the scent of his neck, and whispered, "I'm sleepy, but I'm a little reluctant to let you go."
Hearing this, Luka kissed her temples and said softly, "Go to sleep. I'll see you fall asleep before I go back."
Qiao Suisui lay down obediently, and when she closed her eyes, she didn't forget to hold his two fingers. Luka smiled helplessly and patted her gently, coaxing her to sleep. Until he saw her fall into a deep sleep, a thoughtful look appeared on the man's face.
He thought about it for the whole afternoon and decided to tell her about Zongfang's imprisonment, but he didn't expect that she hadn't returned yet. Luka heard from Liberi about Carl's visit to the Imperial Court. He didn't want to interfere with her social life, so he decided to wait until she returned to tell her.
But he waited from dusk until sunset, and from sunset until late at night.
Luka looked at his watch for the fifteenth time. He pinched his brows to hide the loneliness and jealousy in his eyes.
Just when he thought he and the sofa were about to grow together, she came back. Her scent, her attachment, her relaxation and exposure filled his heart with traces of happiness and satisfaction. He was afraid to destroy this rare beauty.
He was unable to tell her about Zongfang until he saw her sleeping soundly.
He was afraid that she would blame him for hiding it from her after she knew it, and he was even more afraid that because of this incident, her heart, which had finally opened up to him, would close again. But when the words came to his lips several times, he swallowed them back.
Luka gently kissed the corner of her eye, his eyes softening as he stared at the little hand that was still holding his even in her sleep.
The murder of Simon and his family eventually became a big deal. In order to suppress public opinion, the Federation had to give a reasonable explanation. However, when asking Sote to hand over the person, Sote said that he could not hand him over on the grounds that Souma was a special talent. In fact, everyone knew that it was Souma's father who was secretly protecting him.
However, the authority of the federal top brass cannot be challenged.
They believed that Sote's actions were a disregard for federal law, so they issued an arrest warrant. Federal agents entered Sote and took Zongfang away, extraditing him back to the Federation for detention. It could be said that Sote was given no respect at all. The outside world is now speculating whether Sote, as a member of the Federation, has lost the Federation's trust this time.
The men found Munakata at an upscale residence in Sote. According to reliable sources from Ons, they had initially thought arresting Munakata would be a difficult task, requiring a fierce battle. However, when they broke into his residence, they found him lying on the ground like a crippled man, drunk, surrounded by empty bottles. He looked like he hadn't been out for days and was completely dejected.
