A Former Police Officer Who Died And Get A Second Life!-Chapter 157: Love and Gratitude

Yet he still put Qiong Xing and the baby first and always worrying about them.

To be honest, deep in a corner of his heart, Qiong Xing had been thinking about something.

He had wondered if Leander might secretly resent this child, because the baby wasn’t his.

Even though Leander always respected Qiong Xing’s decisions, beastmen were known to love deeply and strongly.

Just like how Leander sometimes argued with Elias, Qiong Xing had wondered if Leander might truly dislike the child.

But now he realized how foolish that thought had been.

Leander loved him.

And he cared about the child too.

Qiong Xing held back his tears.

When Leander leaned closer in concern, Qiong Xing suddenly pulled him into an embrace and kissed him.

He moved his tongue slowly and trying to express what words alone could not.

Thank you.

I love you.

Leander looked surprised at first, but then he happily returned the kiss.

"Mm... what’s wrong?" Leander asked softly.

"Nothing," Qiong Xing said with a small smile. "I was just thinking... I’m glad you’re my mate. I’m glad it was you that I met that day. I’m glad the one I fell in love with was you... Thank you for loving me."

He couldn’t say that Leander was the most important person.

But even so, Leander was someone irreplaceable.

And Qiong Xing wanted to thank him for that.

"...I’m not really sure what brought this on," Leander said as he tilting his head in confusion. "But... you’re welcome?"

Qiong Xing couldn’t help but laugh at that reaction.

He was truly glad that he had met this man.

He was glad he hadn’t walked away that day.

Leander was the first person in this world who had truly loved Qiong Xing.

"I love you, Leander."

"Yeah... me too."

After hearing those words, Qiong Xing smiled softly. Then he slowly lowered himself to his knees.

"Qiong Xing?"

When he reached out and grasped the Leander’s penis that had already begun to rise again, he opened his mouth and took it in.

Leander’s body trembled sharply.

Qiong Xing could tell it wasn’t from discomfort but from pleasure, especially as the penis in his mouth seemed began to grow.

"Damn... that feels seriously dangerous," Leander groaned.

"Is it... too good?" Qiong Xing tried to ask as his words muffled.

"Hey, don’t talk while doing that!"

Overwhelmed by the sensation, Leander instinctively tried to pull his hips back.

But Qiong Xing tightened his lips slightly and preventing him from slipping away.

With a low groan from Leander, the warmth and hot liquids immediately filled Qiong Xing’s mouth.

Leander th n breathed heavily.

"Haa... haa... Qiong Xing... w-wait! Spit it out!"

Qiong Xing had swallowed the white liquid it without thinking.

When Leander kept insisting, he opened his mouth to show there was nothing left.

For some reason, Leander swallowed his saliva hard at the sight.

Later, as things escalated again, Qiong Xing found himself wondering what exactly he had done that had lit such a strong fire in Leander.

Leander’s mating season eventually ended without any problems.

Today, Qiong Xing had come to the guild to hear about the results of the plan they had discussed earlier.

"So the sales are going well?" Qiong Xing asked.

"Yeah," Katarina replied. "Thanks to you, even the people at the top are in a good mood."

Qiong Xing apologized for giving them more work, but Katarina only laughed.

"Don’t worry about it. If we can keep them happy and make money at the same time, that’s not a bad deal."

"I’m glad," Qiong Xing said with relief. "I forced that decision pretty strongly, so I was worried someone might be angry."

"Hahaha!" Katarina laughed loudly. "The only people who can push Sarin into something are probably me and you. Well done!"

For some reason, she looked extremely pleased.

"As long as no one’s angry, that’s good," Qiong Xing said. "By the way, where is Mr. Sarin today?"

Normally, the moment Sarin heard that Qiong Xing had come to the guild, he would rush over immediately.

But today the place felt unusually quiet.

"He’s out buying something again," Katarina said with a sigh. "Apparently it’s for you."

Qiong Xing tilted his head slightly.

Katarina’s expression made it clear that wasn’t the whole story.

"Well... if it was only that, I could still tolerate it," she continued with a bitter smile. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"What do you mean?"

"He buys things for me too," Katarina said. "Fluffy dresses that I have nowhere to wear, shoes with high heels that I stopped wearing ages ago, sparkling hair ornaments and all kinds of other things. No matter how many times I tell him I don’t need them, he still keeps bringing them back."

"Wait... you don’t like them?" Qiong Xing asked.

"Well... how should I say this," Katarina said with a sigh. "Even though I look like this, I’m still a woman, so of course I’m happy to receive gifts. But things like that... what am I supposed to do with them now? I threw away that kind of femininity a long time ago."

She was clearly happy about the gifts, but at the same time she felt embarrassed.

After so many years, she probably didn’t know how she should react anymore.

Even though Katarina said that, when Qiong Xing looked at the dresses and accessories Sarin had bought for her, they all seemed like things that would suit her very well.

Qiong Xing suggested that she could simply wear them for Sarin’s sake.

But Katarina still looked shy about the idea.

As a woman who had become the guild master, Katarina had probably always been under pressure.

She must have worked hard to become strong so that none of the many adventurers would look down on her just because she was a woman.

Even in his previous life, although things had improved in modern times, it had taken a long time for women to gain equal opportunities in society.

"Hmm... alright," Qiong Xing said after thinking for a moment. "For now, please try wearing this."
