contractual marriage

"What's wrong with you? You look very bad, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine." Saul sat by the stream, bent down and splashed water on his face. Even after washing his face, his face was still ugly.

"Is it Lucy? What did De Fran's words remind you of?" Qiao Mo's tone was light, and he could always easily guess people's thoughts. It's like it was specifically told to us."

Sol was silent for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth, "I think of my mother. Just like the Madame Metia mentioned by Lucy Defarer, my mother has been missing for many years, and there is a family of her when she was young. photos, but I don't have a strong impression of her, and haven't seen her for as long as I can remember."

Qiao Mo pondered, "Are you very similar to your mother?"

Saul nodded, "Before Song Lanzhou asked us to adjust our appearance, we were very similar, and now we are only three or four points alike."

"Three or four points are enough." Qiao Mo kicked the stone beside his feet, "Is it possible that Mrs. Metia is your mother?"

Saul paused upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Qiao Mo continued, "If what Lucy Defarran said is true, Mrs. Metia and your mother's disappearance are quite consistent. If she had stayed in Defarran, it would be really difficult for the people of the Federation. Knowing her whereabouts, the situation between the Federation and the Hidaya galaxy in 30 years is even more tense than it is now, and no one would think that the lady of the Lan family will stay in a hostile country."

"Enough." Saul stood up and glanced at him, "I don't want to continue discussing this issue."

"You're running away." Qiao Mo looked at him quietly, "Since Lucy De Fran mentioned it, he already has suspicions. Besides, this matter is related to your mother. Don't you want to know where she is?"

Sol turned his head coldly, and said stiffly, "I have lived well without her for so many years. I don't need an extra mother."

"If she is still alive, what if she didn't want to disappear on purpose?" Qiao Mo looked at him quietly, "There are many things that cannot be regretted until they are lost. It is not a bad thing to be honest, you are too harsh on yourself." Qiao Mo Mo said slowly.

Saul Lan has never met his father and mother since he was born. It is impossible for him to have no expectations for them at all, but this expectation has long been turned into resistance over time. Instead of letting hopeless expectations affect him, it is better to do something None, let your life be undisturbed.

Qiao Mo understood Sol's thoughts, and it was precisely because of his understanding that he persuaded him.

With Qiao Mo's personality, he would not intentionally interfere with other people's affairs and decisions made by others. Everyone should be responsible for their own choices, and persuading Saul Lan was already an exception.

Even if Sol had never met his mother, the lady who was connected with him by blood might still be alive in this world, and he wanted to cherish it but never had the chance.

Sol stood up and stared at him coldly, "You don't need to teach me, I will decide my own affairs, even a partner has no right to wantonly intervene in my life."

Qiao Mo looked at him, his eyes turned cold instantly, but he smiled leisurely, "Since Colonel Lan has said so, I don't need to worry about it." He turned to leave, and Sol suddenly came back to his senses , grabbed him.

Qiao Mo turned around and stared at him with a half-smile, "What instructions does Colonel Lan have?"

Sol stared at him for a long time without saying a word. When he looked at him, he looked a little indescribably struggling, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Qiao Mo looked at him with raised eyebrows, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Sol's face was still cold, and there was a bit of annoyance in his eyes, which was almost indistinguishable unless he looked carefully.

"It's okay, I'll go."

"I have something to do." Sol squeezed tightly, his voice a little tense, "I didn't mean to." I didn't mean to say that kind of words.

Qiao Mo looked at the tall man in front of him, and sighed slightly, "Colonel Lan, your EQ is really failing." He stepped forward and raised his hand to hook the man's head, causing Sol to lower his head and touch his forehead. At the same time, although the tone was flat, it was extremely gentle, "Is it difficult to say something about wanting to know about her? Duplicity." The faint sneer at the end of the sentence warmed people's hearts.

Sol didn't say anything, he just stretched out his arms and hugged him, the familiar yet unfamiliar smell filled his ears and nose, gradually calming down his restless mood, "I haven't been able to control my emotions recently." The man's deep voice ringing in the ears.

"Ah, I know." Qiao Mo replied, if he didn't know this, he wouldn't provoke this guy on purpose. "Okay, let me go." Qiao Mo stretched out his hand to push him away, and leaned against the nearby tree. "Lucy? De Fran probably really knows something, and may even know our identities." Otherwise. He wouldn't say something provocative like just now.

"Jon Yang is with him." Saul accepted calmly.

Qiao Mo snorted, "That's right, when a guy like Qiao Enyang met Lucy De Fran, no matter how many secrets he had, he was dug out, but since His Royal Highness didn't make it clear, this This matter is not without room for change, at least he didn't attack us immediately, I think the key lies in that Mrs. Metia." When Qiao Mo said this, Sol's expression changed for a moment, But there was no overreaction.

"As long as Lucy Defarlan doesn't make it clear, we can leave the Kada jungle with him, and we can wait until we return to Defarran to discuss the rest. We can even take this opportunity to ask him more about Metia. With his attitude just now, he should be happy to tell us about Madam's matter." Qiao Mo analyzed one by one.

Judging from the expression of Lucy De Fran just now, he does have feelings for Mrs. Metia, and that kind of look is not easy to fake.

Sol nodded, he suddenly stepped forward to Qiao Mo's side, and whispered, "Someone is here."

"Huh?" Did you come to inquire about their situation?

"It's best not to let people think that we are here to discuss things."

Just as Qiao Mo was about to nod, Sol slowly lowered his head and blocked his lips. He stretched out his tongue and licked Qiao Mo's lips, and then pursed it slightly. The warm feeling made Qiao Mo open his lips slightly. , Sol's tongue got in unceremoniously, and after some entanglement and stirring, Qiao Mo was taken aback for a moment, and then simply accepted it passively. It was not until Sol's action went too far that he squinted his eyes and hooked his tongue. Thor's neck pushed his tongue back, and naturally there was some entanglement.

The two parted with a slight panting, Qiao Mo lazily leaned against the thick tree trunk, and said calmly, "I've already left."

Sol was taken aback, pursed his lips, and said coldly, "For the sake of intimacy."

Qiao Mo raised his eyebrows, curled his lips and smiled, "Oh, for the sake of intimacy."

The man turned his head silently.

Qiao Mo's smile was full of exploration and deep thought. Could it be that the fusion was really going on subtly?Sol's second personality hasn't come out for a long time, and when he thinks of another guy, he feels a little miss for no reason.

"Let's go back." Qiao Mo stood up and straightened his clothes, "We've been out for a long time, maybe what those people think in their hearts."

Sol glanced at him indifferently, "We are partners anyway." Can others control what they want to do?

Qiao Mo immediately understood what he meant, and smiled, "Others only know that we are lovers."

"A lover should do more things between lovers." Saul said calmly without paying attention.

Qiao Mo laughed, "That's a good reason."

When Qiao Mo and the others went back, they really got a bunch of playful and probing gazes.

Lucy Defarran sat on the dry grass covered with cloth, and said with a smile, "Is your body feeling better?"

"It's much better." Qiao Mo replied on his behalf, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Lucy nodded and glanced at Saul, "It looks much better." He smiled at Qiao Mo, "Sure enough, Young Master Lin has a solution, and he can immediately heal the people around him if they feel uncomfortable." Have something to say.

Qiao Mo didn't feel unnatural in the slightest, and smiled calmly, "It's just some small tricks passed down from family, it's no big deal."

Lucy Defarran glanced at him, "Now that we're done, let's tidy up. We're going to set up a tent on the south side. My guards just went to the front. The place is relatively dry and there are no dangerous creatures around. You can It will be one night."

"It's fine if His Highness decides, we don't have much, we can leave at any time."

Lucy Defarran gave Qiao Mo and the others a small privilege, and gave them a tent alone. Almost all the other soldiers shared a tent with three or four people, or simply slept outside the tent, except for Lucy. ?Other than Di Fran, only Qiao Mo and the others don’t have to squeeze in with other people. In fact, the tent is not big. After two adult men sleep in it, there is almost no much room for it. It’s just right for Qiao Mo and Sol to share the same tent. , but at night in the jungle, it is very good to have such treatment, and they are content.Lying side by side, the two of them no longer had the initial sense of strangeness and wariness, and seemed to have gradually gotten used to each other's presence. For Qiao Mo, who was very vigilant, this was undoubtedly a surprising discovery.

He relaxed his body and looked at the top of the tent quietly. It doesn't take too long to form a habit, but it is a thousand times more difficult to change the habit. He turned his head and looked at Suo Er, no matter what the reason is, the person in front of him has become his partner, and a partner is a matter of a lifetime, there is a person who can live and die together, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it.

Qiao Mo closed his eyes, let his body relax and fell into sleep, and it wasn't long before the man beside him breathed steadily.

At noon the next day, Saul and Qiao Mo returned to the port of Qatar with Lucy DeFrancia.

They were greeted by the anxiously waiting Defaran officials and the prince's personal entourage. In order to avoid panic, the news was not announced. Only a small number of people were on alert, and the people were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the celebration, and did not know that His Royal Highness Has secretly returned to Qatar.

As soon as Lucy Defarran got off the aircraft, he was surrounded by officials who received the news. Qiao Mo and Saul took the opportunity to leave the circle. As soon as they left the Qatar jungle, Qiao Mo's communicator kept ringing, and there were nearly thirty messages on it. Most of the news came from Tie Moer and Zhang Wen.

Qiao Mo and Sol found a slightly hidden place and opened the communication.

Seeing the two of them in the picture, Tie Moer immediately became excited, "Boss, Colonel, you finally showed up. We have been unable to contact you for the past three days. I am so worried."

"We encountered some accidents on the way, and we will tell you about these things in detail after we go back."

Zhang Wen took the communication and said to Qiao Mo and the others, "Shortly after you set off, Qatar's security suddenly became tighter. Although everything was done secretly, it is unusual to suddenly strengthen security and frequently mobilize troops. Worried that something might happen, but we haven't been able to contact you all the time, several of us discussed and decided to send His Excellency Qiao Endong back to the Federation first, and Chief He has already left De'Fran with the medical cabin."

Qiao Mo nodded, "That's fine." He thought for a while, "Did you get blocked when you asked to take the medical cabin out of the hospital?"

"No, everything is going well."

"Where is Jon Yang, is there any news?"

Zhang Wen shook his head, "The people on our side haven't sent back any news, they should still be in the mansion of the eldest prince."

Qiao Mo frowned and didn't speak for a while.

Zhang Wen paused, and he could see the hesitation on his face from the video. Such emotions rarely appeared on his face, so that Qiao Mo was surprised.

"What else is there?"

Zhang Wen glanced at Qiao Mo, then at Saul Lan who was standing beside him in an extremely intimate posture, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "We also received another message yesterday that Miss Liu Wanxin is safe. Back to the Commonwealth."

Sol frowned, and involuntarily looked sideways at Qiao Mo, only to see him say calmly, "I see."

Zhang Wen on the other end of the communication was also slightly surprised. It seems that the officer is more sensible than he imagined, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Zhang Wen took the initiative to end the topic, "We have changed the place of resettlement now, and we are currently living in the east. Kinsale Hotel in District A of Xiao Street."

"We'll be there in a while, and we'll talk about it in detail then."

"Okay, sir."

Qiao Mo hung up the communication.

After the communication ended, the atmosphere between him and Sol suddenly froze.

"Liu Wanxin is not dead." Saul stared at Qiao Mo and repeated the news he had just received.

Qiao Mo lowered his eyes, "Isn't this very good?"

Sol suddenly didn't know what to say, he could only stand beside him with a cold expression.

Qiao Mo glanced at him and sighed slightly, "Even if she didn't die, we are already partners, no matter what happens, this will not change."

Sol heard this and looked at him for a long time before giving a faint "hmm".

Some things are missed, and people can only move forward forever.
