After flirting with the cold and ruthless marshal, the entire intergalactic world started shipping t

Wen Shumu remained quiet and still, letting the arms around his waist tighten.

The force was a bit out of control, and it hurt him.

Ling Suyu straightened up slightly, moved closer to him, and rested her forehead against the Omega's shoulder.

Wen Shumu lowered her long eyelashes, raised her right hand, and patted Ling Suyu's arm as if to comfort her.

"I've thought about this many times before: Did I do something wrong? Why does he hate me so much?"

"Later, as I grew older and read more books, I stopped questioning myself. I began to resent everyone in the Wen family—those who tormented me, despised me, and stood by indifferently..."

Wen Shumu chuckled self-deprecatingly: "These marks, for me back then, were actually a driving force to keep living. Only by living could I have the chance to take revenge and send those who had caused me pain to hell."

He suddenly moved, struggling to turn around: "Brother, let me look at you, okay?"

In the silence, Ling Suyu reduced his strength.

Wen Shumu moved his legs with difficulty and turned around.

The moment he saw Alpha, tears welled up in his eyes.

Ling Suyu's eyes were slightly red at the corners, and his eyes were bloodshot. There was a very faint tear stain on his face.

Wen Shumu tremblingly raised his hands and touched his face with both hands, his eyes filled with tender affection, and gently wiped away the tear stains with his thumb.

"I've found new motivation now." Wen Shumu's eyes welled up with tears, but he smiled. "I want to learn more about mecha. Master Adolphus even asked me if I wanted to go to university. I want to help you, and I want to be with you forever."

Ling Suyu pursed her lips, her icy blue eyes dull and lifeless: "At the time, I thought it was a good thing that you left the desolate star and returned to your original life. You could live a life of luxury and not have to suffer with me."

"I even suppressed myself, deliberately avoiding looking for you, afraid that my appearance would disrupt your life." A pained expression appeared on Ling Suyu's face. "I was too presumptuous."

His heart ached helplessly, and he wished all those whip marks could be transferred to his own body.

Ling Suyu lowered her head and carefully moved closer to him until their foreheads touched and their breaths mingled.

"Xiao Mu, I'm so sorry I'm late..."

The marshal, who was usually so powerful and imposing, appeared incredibly vulnerable at this moment, as if he would shatter completely if Wen Shumu said even a slightly harsh word.

Wen Shumu didn't want Ling Suyu to discover these traces, precisely because he was afraid of seeing this expression on Ling Suyu's face.

Unable to hold back any longer, tears welled up in her light brown eyes, slid down her cheeks, hung on her chin, and dripped onto her legs.

Using this position, Wen Shumu tilted his head slightly and kissed the Alpha's bloodless lips.

Unlike the passionate kiss just now, this kiss was incredibly gentle, more like two exiles licking each other's wounds.

It seemed like a long time had passed before the two slowly separated.

Wen Shumu snuggled into Ling Suyu's arms and said softly, "Don't blame yourself. My injuries weren't caused by you. Besides, it's all in the past. Perhaps heaven took pity on us, and after all this time, we've finally reunited."

Ling Suyu gave a soft "hmm," pulled him into her arms, and held him tightly in her embrace.

The moonlight outside the window gradually faded, but the wind picked up, stirring the dark clouds.

The Omega in her arms had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep, his eyelids still red from crying, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. Perhaps he had finally put his mind at ease and was sleeping very soundly.

In the quiet night, Ling Suyu held the person and looked at them for a long time.

Until a sliver of morning light peeked through the gap in the curtains, illuminating my face and casting a golden glow.

Ling Suyu looked up at the window. His expression was calm, but his eyes were extremely gloomy, like a giant beast lurking in the deep sea, ready to turn the world upside down at any moment.

Allison waited until almost midnight, but still didn't receive any notification from the two owners of the manor to have dinner. She quickly packed up, went home, and went to bed.

The next day, as soon as he arrived at work, the marshal summoned him into his study.

Ling Suyu changed into his Grand Marshal's uniform with a one-shoulder cape, stood by the window, backlit, like a god.

The observant butler immediately noticed that the marshal was in low spirits.

"Marshal, are you heading to the palace?"

Ling Suyu turned around and said, "Yes, Madam told me as soon as she woke up."

"Yes."

"He likes to have strawberry mousse with his breakfast."

Allison smiled and agreed.

Ling Suyu suddenly narrowed his eyes, his cold, sharp gaze piercing through Allison: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Allison broke out in a cold sweat and his mind raced as he tried to recall everything he had done recently.

His eyes trembled slightly. After thinking it over, the only thing he could think of was the matter that his wife had asked him to keep a secret.

He couldn't lie to the marshal, but he had promised his wife that he had to keep quiet.

"I'm getting old, my memory isn't so good..." Allison said with an awkward laugh, trying to brush it off.

Ling Suyu's gaze was deep and sharp, as if he were scrutinizing a prisoner, which made Allison's legs go weak.

"You're investigating cosmetic surgery clinics."

This is an affirmative statement.

Allison knew the Marshal had his own intelligence network, but he didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly.

He remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

Seeing that he remained silent, Ling Suyu sat back in his luxurious office chair, lowered his gaze, and softened his tone considerably: "Xiao Mu asked you to keep it a secret, and you did a good job."

Allison finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his shrugged shoulders relaxed.

Now that the marshal knew, Allison's pent-up anger suddenly flared up.

"I stayed up all night cursing Wen Bin to die a horrible death." The butler's usual composure was completely gone, and he cursed and swore in front of the marshal for a long time.

Ling Suyu listened quietly as he recounted all sorts of tragic ways to die.

Seeing that Allison was finally tired of talking, Ling Suyu stood up.

Allison immediately sensed his presence and stepped forward to help him adjust his cloak.

Before leaving, Ling Suyu told Allison, "I won't be back until very late, so take good care of him."

Allison looked troubled. Considering his wife's current condition, he hesitated before stepping forward: "This... I'm afraid my wife can't be away from you for too long during this period."

"I know, so I'll finish this quickly."

Ling Suyu leaned down and sat in the hovercar. Allison bowed slightly and straightened up only after the car drove away from the manor.

He suddenly shivered.

After the situation stabilized, he hadn't felt that terrifying aura from the marshal for a long time.

This time, it was even worse than the chaotic night when the nobles were expelled.

An hour later, Yi Hao looked at Alpha, whom he hadn't seen for half a month, with a solemn expression.

He picked up his teacup to moisten his dry throat, then said, "I understand."

Ling Suyu nodded politely and got up to leave.

Watching Ling Suyu's departing figure, Yi Hao rubbed his temples.

Su Yu, you've really gone mad.

There was no one else in the hall except the emperor. He leaned back in his chair and casually tapped his finger on the square chessboard.

On the chessboard, the black and white sides were locked in a stalemate, seemingly trapped in a deadlock.

Suddenly, Yi Hao curled his lips into a smile.

He reached for the black pieces, castled, and the situation instantly reversed.

He can kill again even after being freed from the killing.

This false peace will eventually need to be broken by one side first.
