I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 34: Do You Like Him?

Isabella had just looked up when she saw Ruka, who was always meticulous, now with a hint of urgency on his face. He quickly walked up to Qiao Suisui, his large hand softly grasping her slender wrist, and the next second, spoke with a gentleness Isabella had never heard before.

"Is everything alright?"

Leberli also walked over from Isabella’s other side, his eyes darkening for a moment when he saw Ruka holding her, then positioning himself in front of her at just the right angle to block Isabella, as if to shield her from some danger.

"What did she say to you?"

The two men had hurried over after hearing from a servant that Suisui had gone to the library to meet Lanze. On their way, they had exchanged glances without a word, then headed straight here. As they approached and saw Suisui with Isabella, Leberli’s brow furrowed deeply.

At that moment, he glared at Isabella with a displeased expression and asked coldly, "What are you up to again?"

Isabella, feeling both angry and aggrieved, shot back, "Which eye of yours saw me causing trouble? We were just talking normally!"

Leberli didn’t believe her, standing in front of her and positioning Qiao Suisui entirely behind him in an obvious protective stance. Ruka caressed her wrist, seeking confirmation with his eyes, triple-checking that she was really fine.

"I’m fine, Princess. She just wanted to talk to me for a moment."

Isabella crossed her arms in front of her chest, lifted her chin, and glared fiercely, as if her eyes were about to pop out. Her look said: See, you’re blaming me for no reason!

Ruka’s gaze had been fixed on Qiao Suisui from the start and hadn’t shifted to Isabella even once.

"Now that you’re done talking, I’ll take Suisui back. She shouldn’t be in the wind," Leberli said.

"??? Wind? What wind?" Isabella said.

"You’re so sturdy, of course you wouldn’t feel it."

After saying that, Leberli gently supported Qiao Suisui’s lower back and started walking forward with her. Ruka noticed his movement, a pause in his expression before reverting to his usual coldness, looking rather displeased while his grip on Qiao Suisui’s wrist showed no intention of releasing.

Thus, the three of them passed Isabella in a harmonious yet tumultuous fashion.

"Princess, we’ll chat again next time."

Qiao Suisui looked back and greeted her, and the next second was forced to turn back as Leberli held her head down.

Leberli sighed and advised, "Don’t get too close to her. She’s been spoiled since she was young and could end up hurting you."

"She isn’t that scary..."

"Leberli has a point," Ruka unexpectedly agreed with Leberli’s thought, adding softly, "They grew up together, so they understand each other well."

That was to say, Leberli and Isabella had a deep connection. It was entirely unnecessary to bring it up, but Ruka brought it up anyway.

Leberli immediately sensed his intent, scoffed coldly, and said, "Speaking of growing up together, Isabella and Ruka also grew up together, which is why she is so hopelessly devoted to him."

"I have no relationship with her."

"If there’s no relationship, why does she keep troubling Suisui? Who is the reason for that?"

Ruka and Leberli exchanged glares, the tension between them palpable. Caught in the middle, Qiao Suisui felt the temperature drop suddenly, as though it had turned to ice.

"Um...I can actually go back on my own..."

Before she had finished, she heard the two men say in unison—

"I’ll take you."

"I’ll accompany you back."

The two men stood their ground, looking toward Qiao Suisui, waiting for her to make a decision.

She closed her eyes, and then firmly declared.

"Lanze and I have agreed to get coupled."

An unexpected bombshell rattled the minds of Ruka and Leberli.

Sensing the man’s grip around her wrist tighten slightly, Qiao Suisui looked up at Ruka, noticing his head slightly bowed, the fringe partly covering his eyes, concealing his thoughts. She then turned to Leberli and saw that he had an emotionless facade, his demeanor calm.

After hearing the news, both men remained eerily silent. After a long while, it was Qiao Suisui who spoke first.

"Lanze and I have agreed that after coupling, we will move out to live on our own, and he... will find another place," she summarized the content of her recent conversation with Lanze.

Leberli nodded after hearing this, uncharacteristically saying nothing.

Ruka, on the other hand, stared intently at her, as if wanting to ask something, but then swallowed his words.

Qiao Suisui had taken the initiative to disclose this to prevent them from worrying needlessly, but seeing their reactions, it was clear she hadn’t achieved her goal. However, she wouldn’t dwell on this matter much, because, regardless of what Ruka’s or Leberli’s attitudes were, coupling with Lanze was something she was certainly going to do, as it pertained to her own survival interests.

Despite her cautious existence before transmigration, she never gave in on major issues, as this trait was ingrained in her. Cold-hearted or selfish as she might be called, Qiao Suisui always believed that living her own life well was the most important matter.

Thus, in the following time, even though she noticed Ruka’s despondency, she did not inquire further.

Leberli left after dropping her off at the entrance to the sleeping chambers, which rather surprised Qiao Suisui. If it had been any time before, he would never have allowed Ruka to be alone with her, especially since he had been so clingy recently, almost wanting to follow her 24/7. Why now would he leave without even coming into her room?

As she pondered Leberli’s departing figure, little did she know that Ruka witnessed her expression, thinking she was unwilling to let Leberli go, which deepened the ache in his heart.

Once they entered, Qiao Suisui took off the shoes from her feet. Although all her footwear was meticulously chosen by Leberli, with soft soles and stylish comfort, perhaps due to her pregnancy, she would easily feel tired from standing even a little too long.

As she bent down to change her shoes, she casually asked, "Ruka, aren’t you going back to the Military Department today?"

To her surprise, just as her bare feet touched the carpet, she was pulled into a firm embrace.

The man’s tall frame held her from behind without a word for a long time.

"Ruka?"

"I know I have no right to ask this..." His throat felt stuffed with ten thousand pounds of cotton, making it hard to speak, but there were so many things he wanted to say, "Suisui, do you like him?"

"Who?"

He meant to say Leberli, but immediately remembered that both men shared the last name, so he said, "Lanze, or Ash..."

The person in his arms was silent, and although it was only a few breaths’ time, to Ruka, it felt unbearably slow.

He didn’t dare to look into her eyes, didn’t dare to hear her answer, and certainly didn’t dare to make demands on her.

He wanted to say, don’t couple with Lanze, don’t like Leberli, but in the very next second, he deeply hated his own possessiveness.

She was the only female, after all...

Even if not Lanze or Ash, there would eventually be someone else. From the day he rescued her from that vast birdcage, Ruka knew she would never belong solely to any male.

"Ruka, I...."

Just as Qiao Suisui was about to respond, he suddenly gripped her chin and then a warm, soft pair of lips sealed hers.

His lips fervently tangled with hers, all to avoid hearing that answer.

"Don’t say it, please."
