The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 339: He and She, Destined by Fate

The old butler bent down respectfully, and his tone was equally respectful.

"The Star Lord invites this lady for a meeting."

"She’s not going." Lu Shinian directly rejected Lu Zhiya on behalf of Su Ruan.

The old butler seemed to have anticipated this answer and continued, "It is the lady’s mother who wants to see her."

Su Ruan’s pupils shrank as she stepped out from behind Lu Shinian.

"You’re talking about my mother?"

"Yes." The old butler replied, "Your mother is on her way here, and before her arrival, please rest and wait at the manor."

Su Ruan’s heart raced.

She hadn’t expected to hear news of her mother here.

She turned her head to look at Lu Shinian, her eyes filled with longing and anticipation.

Lu Shinian swallowed to suppress his emotions, held her small hand, and softly said, "I’ll accompany you."

He understood his wife’s longing for family, and now hearing news of Su Hanjing, she surely wouldn’t want to leave just yet.

Fortunately, there were still more than two days before the Star Gate closed. If they could meet Su Hanjing before then, fulfilling her small wish would be nice.

Su Ruan was well aware of Lu Shinian’s reluctance to see Lu Zhiya again, yet he was willing to return to that manor for her sake, which genuinely moved her.

She leaned closer to him and softly said, "I like Brother Lu the most."

Lu Shinian’s pupils deepened in color, and his large hand holding hers tightened slightly.

His little wife said she liked him the most.

Just those words were enough to soothe all his desires.

Lu Shinian’s lips curled slightly, and a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

"I like Ruan Ruan the most too. No one else."

The two of them followed the old butler back to the manor.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiya did not appear before them.

It seemed she knew Lu Shinian did not want to see her, so she stayed away.

The old butler arranged comfortable rooms for them, asking them to wait for half a day.

Su Ruan hadn’t slept well in the lounge last night, and being pregnant made her more lethargic, so as soon as she returned to the room, she nestled in Lu Shinian’s arms and fell asleep.

She slept straight through until the afternoon.

When she woke up, Lu Shinian wasn’t in the room.

She got up to check but didn’t find him in the room, so she decided to go out and look for him.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Zhiya sitting by the door.

Su Ruan’s expression turned slightly cold, and she greeted, "Star Lord."

Lu Zhiya gestured for her subordinate to bring over a chair, placing it opposite her, and said gently, "Ruan Ruan, can we talk?"

Su Ruan agreed with a "Sure," and then sat down.

"Where is he?" she asked first.

It was obvious who she was referring to.

"He’s learning about the Empire’s history." Lu Zhiya didn’t hide it from her, "I expect he’ll gain some insights."

"Ruan Ruan, you and Han Jing don’t resemble each other at all," she said, seemingly with a hint of emotion.

Su Ruan tilted her head to look at Lu Zhiya, and in her pure black pupils, Lu Zhiya’s elegant demeanor was reflected. She softly opened her pink lips, "Did the Star Lord intentionally divert him just to have a casual chat with me?"

Lu Zhiya’s smile deepened.

She gently shook her head, "There’s actually something important I want to ask you."

Su Ruan displayed an "as expected" expression.

"Star Lord, please feel free to ask."

Lu Zhiya straightened her expression.

"Have you ever encountered an interstellar evil beast?"

"Interstellar evil beast?" Su Ruan repeated.

Lu Zhiya explained, "A Star Beast that exists in the depths of the universe."

"No one knows how it came into being, but greed is its nature, and power is its instinct."

"Fortunately, it doesn’t attack proactively and spends most of its time in slumber."

With her description, a viscous red eye inexplicably appeared in Su Ruan’s mind.

Back then on the spaceship, she looked at that eye and fell into a coma.

As a result, she had no idea what happened afterward.

That eye...

Su Ruan slowly clenched the hem of her garment, her fingertips white with tension.

Lu Zhiya noticed her change and spoke with certainty.

"You’ve seen an interstellar evil beast."

Su Ruan shook her head.

"I don’t know what that was."

Su Ruan explained the ship’s encounter with a storm but kept the existence of Wood Peach Star a secret.

The Empire and Exotic Beasts were still at odds, so she had no need to clarify this matter.

Lu Zhiya pondered as she heard about the eye she saw.

Though she was the Star Lord, she herself had never seen an interstellar evil beast.

They usually slumber deep within the universe, and the last time it stirred was because it moved to a new sleeping nest, inadvertently touching a few of the Empire’s main stars, resulting in pollution of the stars’ core, which still hadn’t recovered.

At this moment, a ball of white light flew out from behind Lu Zhiya.

"Ya Ya." The white light surprisingly spoke.

Lu Zhiya lightly touched the white light with her fingertip, smiling as she introduced, "This is the core of Wanling Star. You can call it Lingling."

"Lingling," Su Ruan said.

The white light faintly blushed, "Hello, Ruan Ruan."

It followed Lu Zhiya’s lead in greeting.

"Ruan Ruan, you have the scent of an interstellar evil beast on you."

It spoke with a tender voice, yet intentionally serious.

"It’s set its sights on you."

"Ruan Ruan, you need to be careful."

Amused by its tender voice, Su Ruan felt a warmth in her heart and chuckled softly, "Thank you, Lingling. I’ll be careful."

In the midst of conversation, Lu Shinian’s figure appeared not far away.

Though it was clearly several meters, within just a couple of seconds, he had reached her.

"Ruan Ruan." Lu Shinian knelt slightly and took hold of her hand.

Su Ruan’s fingertips trembled slightly.

Lu Shinian’s hand was icy cold, as if it had just emerged from a thousand-year-old cold spring.

Su Ruan placed her other hand on Lu Shinian’s large hand.

"Brother Lu, have you finished reading the Empire’s history?"

"Yes." Lu Shinian replied softly, also affirming Lu Zhiya hadn’t lied earlier.

Su Ruan quietly exhaled in relief.

Seeing Lu Shinian had returned, Lu Zhiya rose without saying more and quietly left.

The small white light also retreated and disappeared from view.

Lu Shinian didn’t give Lu Zhiya a glance, speaking softly with Su Ruan.

A gentle breeze lifted the strands of hair on his forehead, adding a bit of brightness to his deep, dark eyes.

Su Ruan cradled Lu Shinian’s large hand, transmitting her warmth to him while listening to his recount of the Empire’s history.

After a while, Su Ruan suddenly asked, "So, Brother Lu, do you have a companion beast?"

Lu Shinian nodded, "Yes."

Su Ruan’s eyes sparkled slightly.

"Could you summon your companion beast now?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She was genuinely curious about what his companion beast looked like.

Seeing her curiosity, Lu Shinian chuckled softly.

"Not only do I have one, but Ruan Ruan also has a companion beast."

He lifted his hand, gently caressing her face with a slight raspiness.

"Our companion beasts have a 100% sync rate."

Thus, he and she were destined.
