a long time.

Lance finally found his voice:

"You... Jojo?"

"Ah."

Lu Qiao sighed slightly: "Do I have any other choice?"

The moonlight flowing silently outside the window diffused onto his fair face.

Also.

No matter how strong Lu Qiao is, she is still just an omega.

Although the whole family can be called conniving towards Lu Qiao, the core part will never let Lu Qiao get close.

Even if Lu Qiao bought and invested countless research institutes, relying on Lance's authority, he eagerly drilled a hole deeper into the military information network, but that's all.

He doesn't have any armed forces directly under him, and the information he has worked so hard to obtain can only become a bargaining chip for him to deal with, not a powerful weapon.

And it is impossible for Lu Qiao to use these things to betray his brother or husband. For any omega who has no real power, it is a dead end.

This was one of the reasons why Lance easily gave Lu Qiao the same authority, and it was also the reason why Lance finally acquiesced in Lu Qiao's little tricks.

It's not just because Lu Qiao is his partner, and it's not just because of his unique pampering towards Lu Qiao from the bottom of his heart.

Everything is conditional.

Lance never said it in detail, but Lu Qiao saw it clearly.

Nor is he naive.

All arrogance and extravagance are conditional.

So he quickly learned how to restrain his temper.

"Don't look at me like that."

Lance raised his hand to cover Lu Qiao's eyes.

His eyelashes fluttered slightly, brushing against Lance's palm.

That look just now is really not like the usual Lu Qiao.

Ke Lance knew in his heart that this was him.

He never made these logical considerations public, and all the understanding and concessions between them over the years were embellished with kisses and hugs.

But under the warm and intertwined breath, who doesn't repeatedly put reality on the balance in his heart?

At this point, these things can no longer be easily covered up.

Just like one of Lu Qiao's favorite desserts, no matter how beautiful the amber-like sugar shell is, there will always be a moment when it is crushed and bitter cocoa will flow out.

Lu Qiao touched his hand and pulled it down, her eyes reflecting the moonlight were surprisingly peaceful.

"You don't have to do this," Lu Qiao rarely spoke in such a gentle tone, "You don't owe me anything."

"If you fail, you will fail me."

"I'll have a good talk with Arthur, don't worry." Lance promised in a low voice.

Lance was no longer the youthful student nine years ago, and now he was on an equal footing with the head of the Percy family.

"No need." Lu Qiao looked away from the window, "That base...is destroyed if it is destroyed. You also know that you have no choice."

Unless Lance is willing to hand over some of his power, he can only fight head-on.

Obviously, handing over is not within the scope of Lance's consideration.

Lance breathed harder.

The topic about Lu Qiao's family, which they had been avoiding all this time, finally came up.

Unlike his imagination, there was no quarrel, no cold war, no harsh words.

Lu Qiao blocked all the words he had thought up with one sentence.

The words were still as soft as they had been in all previous similar moments.

"So be it."

Lu Qiao slowly stroked his chest with her right hand, and the warmth of her palm gradually passed through the fabric to his heart, "Waiting for you to come back."

Lance didn't move.

"What?" He moved closer to Lance, and stopped when he was about to kiss Lance on the cheek, "You are leaving soon, don't you want to accompany me now?"

He waited for a while, and was hugged as he wished.

"You haven't stopped the medicine these days, have you?"

"No." Lance replied honestly.

The alpha contraceptive pill that Lu Qiao gave him was exactly one month's worth. They lived together before, and of course Lance took it every day.

Lance moved out these few days, but he didn't stop.

So he smiled slightly.

"Then I won't eat it."

He gently stroked Lance's forearm.

Everything seemed silent tonight.

Lu Qiao, who usually likes to make some noise, kept her mouth shut almost the whole time.

Bending over, lying flat, and sideways, his face maintained a strange tranquility, and his beautiful eyes kept staring at Lance.

Lance is usually silent, but his eyes are redder today.

The moonlight is very strong, bright and bright.

He lay in Lance's arms, closed his eyes and felt Lance's comfort again and again.

"I have never regretted it." A bit abrupt sentence.

Lance's hand stopped for a moment, then continued.

"From the first moment I saw you, I knew that you would belong to me—" His voice seemed to span nine years of day and night, "and would become my pride."

His eyes fell on Lance's face.

Then he reached out to smooth Lance's brow.

"Still hesitating?" It was quite a caring tone.

"I... Jojo, maybe..." I regretted it.

"You don't have to worry about Arthur," he said directly, "the matter of the base is not visible in the face of the empire, and my father promised my father to block it 20 years ago."

Speaking of this, his eyes darkened a little, as if thinking of some bad memories.

"Anyway, Arthur won't be too determined, and you don't have to... worry about me."

Lance sighed insignificantly, and lightly pecked and kissed Lu Qiao on the cheek a few times.

It's like treating some precious baby.

"At that time, you will be worthy of the name General Lance."

He laughed lightly, and the scent of tuberose merged into a few wisps, circling around Lance mischievously.

That's right, when Lance actually empties the galaxy bordering on the back of the seventh star, coupled with the merits of the past few years, the promotion will only come naturally, and more importantly, this will be equivalent to Lance's territory-personal territory, a very old The term is used to describe the noble territory in the history of the empire.

Lance is about to create a civilian miracle. Looking at the history of the empire, this is not uncommon. What is rare is that it is now in an era of peace.

"When you come back, let's have a baby."

He pressed his face to Lance's hot chest, listening to Lance's powerful heartbeat.

Lance hugged him back tightly.

When the dust settles, their children will have a non-controversial childhood.

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

A few days later, a little silver tail disappeared into the sky.

Lu Qiao stared at the platform for a long time.

He gathered the scarf that Lance tied on him before he left, and his white hands were reddened by the cold wind.

All the research institutes and base stations he has carefully built over the past few years will be fully operational from now on, transmitting any information changes to his terminal without stopping.

Then through his private channel with Lance, he lost to Lance.

No one in the outside world knows that his and Lance's terminals have separate encrypted channels, and the two have open permissions to each other, almost completely equal.

Not even Hina and her brother's terminal have such a close relationship.

"Mr. Lu, the general should have sailed out of the border of the empire by now." Seeing him standing still for a long time, the adjutant Ruisi couldn't help but speak.

In the cold wind, Lu Qiao's upturned profile showed an inexplicable fragility.

Fragile?

Yes, Reith's heart skipped a beat just now because of this scene, and then she hastily opened her mouth to break the silence.

"Thank you," he smiled slightly, apologetically, "I haven't apologized to you yet, I was a little impulsive that day."

"It's okay," Reith felt rather flattered, "You are much more restrained than other nobles, er, I mean, some nobles always came to the military to find fault, er, not to find fault..."

"I understand," Lu Qiao cut off the conversation, "Thank you for your hard work, I will visit you some other day."

Lance is not here, of course he has to walk more in front of Lance's subordinates.

Since he came here, he no longer intends to be the invisible man behind Lance's back.

Ruisi in front of him was a few years younger than him, and he was a purely civilian. He had become Lance's adjutant not long after he joined the army. It is estimated that Lance also has high expectations for him.

Thinking in his heart, he maintained his proper manners and bid farewell to Reith.

The next day was a rare sunny day.

Lu Qiao picked up a square gift box and planned to go out.

The gift was not for others, but for Reith—he knew that the birthdays of several of Lance's subordinates were just in time for today.

To get from Lance's back to the front, of course you have to show some sincerity.

Pushing the door open, the person he wanted to see happened to be standing in front of the door.

Ok?

He smiled subconsciously, but murmured in his heart.

Generally speaking, Lance and his house will not be disturbed by sudden visits.

He didn't wonder for long.

Reith raised the things in his hands, with a strange expression on his face, but his tone was quite polite: "Something happened last night, I might trouble you to come with me."

Lu Qiao saw clearly now that what Rui Si was holding was clearly a pair of handcuffs.
