I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 116 Attachment

"Do you like this kind of look?"

Qiao Suisui's hand felt like it got stung and she struggled to escape from his burning palm.

"I'm full."

She stood up a bit frantically, wanting to leave, but Carl wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her down onto his strong, muscular legs.

"Behave, I haven't had my fill yet."

She had hastily grabbed an unused fork in her panic, and now her hands were tightly gripping it, with the tines pressed against Carl's chest where his muscles were faintly visible.

"What's wrong, you want to fork me to death?"

She had just stood up and was pushed back onto his lap by Carl pinching her waist.

Qiao Suisui could feel his firm thigh muscles and the scorching temperature beneath his clothes.

"Sit still. If you keep moving around, I can't guarantee what might happen."

Qiao Suisui immediately dared not move.

"You... let me down."

"Hold on for a while," Carl said leisurely as he looked at her, although his eyes were swirling with desire. "Just for a while."

She felt his gaze was too scorching, almost giving her the illusion that her skin was being burnt. Uncomfortably struggling, her hand accidentally pressed against his lower abdomen.

A suppressed grunt.

Carl's breathing grew heavier, and desire churned in his eyes. At the same time, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He gave her bottom a light pat and said through gritted teeth, "You really aren't afraid of me, are you."

Qiao Suisui didn't understand what he was talking about. She propped her hands on his shoulders, frowning as she said, "Carl, stop messing around."

"How am I messing around?"

His hand gripped her waist like a vise, and the other covered his abdomen as he kept a rascally face: "Don't be so guarded, I'm hurt."

Qiao Suisui thought he was joking again and hit him not too gently where his hand was, "Stop acting, my coldness can't hurt you. Let me down now."

Carl laughed, slowly released her, and watched as she got up off him. The warmth still lingered on his legs, but her words left him feeling cold.

"I really want to thank you for saving me. I owe you one. If you ever need anything in the future, I'll help you within my means."

Is she setting boundaries?

"I don't need to wait for the future, I need a favor from you now."

"What?"

Carl grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his embrace, and hugged her, lowering his head to plant a kiss. Everything happened so suddenly that Qiao Suisui's eyes widened. By the time she reacted, the man had already let her go.

Unlike last time, this kiss barely lasted a few seconds after their lips touched, but his fervor and strength caused Qiao Suisui's mind to go blank, to the extent that in those fleeting seconds of proximity, she even heard his heartbeat.

Carl slapped his own face with her hand, looking like a couple in a spat where the man had upset his girlfriend and was now desperately apologizing. Annoying her and then coaxing her, back and forth without growing tired of it.

"Is this the favor you mentioned needing help with?" Qiao Suisui, not quite satisfied, punched him in the chest again.

"No," Carl said without dodging, smiling like a scoundrel with bright eyes. Then, in an extremely low and suggestive voice by her ear, he said, "It's helping me by not getting mad at me."

By the time Qiao Suisui sent Carl away, it was nearing midnight. She found that whenever she talked with him, time seemed to fly by. When she returned to her own palace, she found Ruka sitting on the sofa waiting for her, which made Qiao Suisui feel somewhat guilty.

She turned on the floor lamp, and warm light filled the room, shining on the man, dispelling his slight weariness.

"Ruka, why haven't you gone to bed so late?"

By now, he had changed into loose clothes, his blond hair casually falling over his forehead, a stark contrast to his meticulous daytime appearance—more like a warm and good-natured big lion.

Qiao Suisui walked over and sat down, naturally resting her head on his legs, looking up at him. Her long white legs were draped over the back of the sofa, relaxed and comfortable. Ruka looked down at her, his hand stroking her hair rhythmically as they chatted for a bit, after which Qiao Suisui yawned.

"Ruka, I'm so sleepy."

"Mm."

The man picked her up from the sofa to carry her into the inner chamber. As he was about to put her on the bed, Qiao Suisui clung to his neck, unwilling to let go.

"Didn't you say you were sleepy?"

Curling up in his embrace, smelling the scent by his neck, she whispered, "I am sleepy, but I sort of don't want you to leave."

At her words, Ruka tenderly kissed her temple, softly saying, "Go to sleep, I'll watch you fall asleep before I leave."

Qiao Suisui obediently lay down and closed her eyes, still holding on to two of his fingers. Ruka smiled helplessly, gently patting her, soothing her to sleep. It wasn't until he saw her deeply asleep that a contemplative expression appeared on his face.

He had thought it over all afternoon but decided to tell her about Zong Fang's arrest. However, he didn't expect her to be away when he arrived. Ruka had heard from Leberli about Carl's visit to the Imperial Court. Not wanting to interfere with her social life, he had planned to wait for her to return before speaking.

But he ended up waiting from dusk until the sun set, and from sunset to the still of the night.

As Ruka checked his watch for the fifteenth time, he pinched the bridge of his nose, hiding the loneliness and jealousy in his eyes.

Just as he felt like he was about to merge with the sofa, she returned. Her scent, her attachment, her relaxation and vulnerability… all filled his heart with wisps of happiness and contentment. He feared ruining the rare beauty of that moment.

Even as he watched her sleep, he couldn't bring himself to tell her about Zong Fang.

He feared that if she knew, she might resent him for keeping it secret, or worse, that the incident might cause her barely-opened heart to close off to him again. But whenever he was on the verge of telling her, he ultimately swallowed the words back.

Ruka gently kissed the corner of her eye, gazing at the small hands still holding his own even in her sleep, his eyes softening completely.

The murder of Simon and his family eventually caused a huge uproar. The Federation, to quell public opinion, had to offer a reasonable explanation. However, when demanding that Soter hand over the person in question, Soter refused to extradite Zong Fang, citing his status as a special talent. In truth, everyone understood that it was Zong Fang's father protecting him behind the scenes.

Still, the authority of the Federation's upper echelons cannot be challenged.

They saw Soter's action as a contempt for Federation law, so they issued a direct arrest warrant. Federation agents entered Soter's territory to take Zong Fang away and extradited him back to the Federation for detention, leaving no face for Soter. Now, the outside world speculates whether Soter, as a member of the Federation Member Countries, has lost the trust of the Federation.

Zong Fang was found in one of Soter's top-grade residences. According to reliable information from Angsi, they had expected a difficult task, inevitably facing a fierce battle to arrest Zong Fang. But when they broke into his abode, they saw him lying on the ground like a wasted man, drunk to oblivion among a sea of empty bottles, and it appeared he hadn't stepped outside for many days; he was in complete decline.
