"child......"
Lumina and Orion were talking in the hall, while Lucius pulled Sheng Wu to a corner outside the palace. He stared at Sheng Wu in a daze with a pale face, and his words were very fragmented and light.
Sheng Wu shook off Lucius's hand that was still holding her, and stroked her flat belly. There was a rare hint of tenderness in her cold eyes.
"The child is not yours."
What he said made Lucius's thin and dense eyelashes tremble.
He knew it wasn't his because nothing had happened between them.
"...Whose is that...?"
Lucius did not give up. He was afraid of hearing the answer, but he also wanted to know it.
Sheng Wu raised her eyes and looked at him calmly, "It's Lucifer's, but he doesn't know. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
“…”
Hearing her admit it herself, Lucius's black pupils trembled as he looked at her. His heart suddenly felt stung, and even his breathing was filled with sad pain.
She, she and Lucifer had a child!
"......when."
Lucius' pupils were slightly red, and he looked at her with a powerless and sad expression. His thin lips trembled as he uttered four light words, but he knew that he had no right to accuse Sheng Wu of being unfaithful to their marital relationship.
Because he was the one who said at the beginning that he had no love for her and she could leave if she wanted to.
But now, he has feelings for her, but it's too late.
She has placed greater attention on Lucifer, whom she believes is more useful than herself.
"When I went to the mermaid tribe."
Sheng Wu looked at him indifferently with an expressionless face, not feeling that she had betrayed him at all.
"you......"
Hearing this, Lucius, who had already expected this, couldn't help but clench his fingers. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. He could only let a faint redness gradually creep up in his dark eye sockets. He looked at her with misty and moist pupils, and the dull pain in his heart spread densely throughout his chest.
Her lips were slightly parted, and she seemed to be suffocating.
It was really at that time that he let her go...
He had obviously guessed who she was going to meet at that time, and also foresaw that she would plot against Lucifer and develop feelings for him, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon!
"Why, you care a lot."
However, Sheng Wu looked at his sad look with red eyes and almost crying, and a bad interest was aroused in her eyes. She walked forward and approached Lucius, her eyebrows and eyes shining and charming.
"Lucius, are you angry? Are you furious? Even though I don't love you, I am still your wife in name only. But now I am pregnant with another man's child. Do you hate me?"
She looked at him coldly and indifferently, with a hint of malice in her eyes.
"Awu...don't force me..."
Lucius looked at her with a complicated and gloomy expression, his lips tightly pursed, his fists clenched under his sleeves. In response to her deliberate provocation, his face was tense and he said nothing, with something struggling in his eyes.
He knew she was pushing herself.
Seeing this, Sheng Wu added another dose of strong medicine, "Oh, by the way, Lucifer said that after he rebels, he will come to pick me up and let me go to his side and marry me. From then on, I will take his last name and will no longer be your wife, Lucius."
Lucius couldn't help but reach out and hold her wrist tightly.
"Stop talking!" He whispered.
His misty red eyes stared at her, his voice trembling, "You don't need to provoke me and make me resent you. I won't hate you, nor will I have any resentment towards Lucifer. Just tell me what you want."
He understood that Sheng Wu just wanted to see him lose control of his negative emotions. She liked to see people fall.
Sheng Wu raised her eyes to look at him and said calmly.
"Let me tell you, what power and authority do you have that can satisfy my demands, Lucius? Apart from the strategy to improve my favorability, you are worthless to me."
"Yes, I don't have Lucifer's great power, nor do I have Lumina's intelligence and ambition for power. Of the three, I am the least worthy of your esteem."
Lucius's breath hitched. He knew how much she disregarded and despised him, even showing him her memories without hesitation, exposing everything about her. He gripped Sheng Wu's wrist tightly, lowering his head and looking at her. It hurt to breathe.
He parted his thin lips slightly, and spoke each word in a hard and hoarse voice, "Then... considering that you haven't succeeded in conquering me yet, don't leave me for now. Otherwise, once God knows that you are pregnant with Lucifer's child, he will not let you go."
Even though he knew that with Sheng Wu's true strength, she probably wouldn't be afraid of God.
But he had a selfish motive in his heart. He not only wanted to remind Sheng Wu, but also wanted her to stay with him for a while longer.
Lucius calmed himself down, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly let go of her hand, took a step forward, and hugged Sheng Wu tightly in his arms.
The textured, deep voice was hoarse, as if it would break at the slightest touch. "I know this child is useful to you in holding back God. No matter whose child he is, as long as you stay with me for one day, I can declare him our child and ensure that you and your child are safe..."
The corners of Lucius' eyes were slightly red, and mist was gathering and almost falling uncontrollably, but he forced himself to hold it back. Veins bulged on his forehead, and he held Sheng Wu with great strength. This was the greatest security he could give her.
“…” He could treat this child as his.
Sheng Wu was silent for two seconds, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. No man could tolerate her cuckolding behavior, but he could actually give in to this extent.
She didn't understand Lucius's tolerant and affectionate attitude. In her opinion, it was a matter of principle, but she didn't need to understand it.
Sheng Wu didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then added a sentence.
"I want to keep this child, so even if Lucifer asks you about it in the future, you should just say it's yours." Originally, this child didn't belong to anyone.
But she was more curious about how Lucifer would react when he knew that the child was Lucius. Would he be angry or furious that she had promised to wait for him but then betrayed him?
Will she hate herself even more and want to kill her?
Lucius' body froze. He didn't understand why she did this. Was she afraid that God would not let the child go?
"......Okay." But in the end he closed his eyes heavily and agreed.
Because this is probably the only connection between him and Sheng Wu after she left him.
Some people, once they fall in love and devote themselves voluntarily, are lower than mud and have no dignity.
