Chapter 149 – Hey Friend, Have You Heard of ‘Siscon’? (49)
Lu Buchi’s strength was so overwhelming that it rendered people unable to move.
The few people, who were originally confident, could only watch as Lu Buchi walked step by step towards Yan Luo, then knelt down and gently took Yan Luo’s hand.
*Click—* Before the people from Di Tian’s side could react, the handcuffs on Yan Luo’s hand had already fallen to the ground with a clang.
“Don’t be afraid, Luoluo, I’m here.” Lu Buchi whispered softly, his voice trembling slightly.
But he saw the confusion in Yan Luo’s eyes, and he felt her flinch away slightly at his touch.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, the moment still brought an unbearable pain to his heart.
It was only then that Di Tian’s side reacted. They slightly lowered their gaze and exchanged a glance, then one of them stepped forward, sneering, “Looks like she’s quite important. For this little girl, you dared to rush over here yourself.”
Yan Luo was slowly lifted by Lu Buchi, her small hands clutching his clothes tightly, tightening little by little.
The petite body in his arms was trembling continuously, and Lu Buchi tightly pursed his lips, his eyes filled with deep darkness and a hint of fear.
She… she knew, didn’t she?
“Elder Brother…” Yan Luo finally spoke, feeling the warmth of the embrace. “Is it you?”
Lu Buchi’s body stiffened.
“Is it… you who did it?
“Daddy, Brother…”
—No, please say it’s not…
Seeing the slight fatigue in the girl’s eyes, Lu Buchi’s lips moved slightly. He wanted to affirm to her that it wasn’t him, but… the explosion of the Empire’s starship was indeed his doing, although he hadn’t expected it to trigger a magnetic storm.
It also implicated Yan Qi and Yan Bai…
When he learned of this news, he hesitated, subconsciously wanting to escape. He had just realized what he truly wanted, and now it seemed he was about to lose it?
But he hadn’t expected her to be intercepted by Di Tian.
The Empire and the Alliance declared a state of overall tension.
Everything he wanted before was now proceeding smoothly, but his heart was filled with regret and fear.
Was he going to lose what he had finally obtained?
There were countless ways to handle it, but because of his impatience and resentment, he said he wouldn’t hurt her, yet in the end, didn’t he still hurt her?
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” The light in Yan Luo’s eyes gradually dimmed as she slowly released her grip on Lu Buchi’s clothes. “Elder Brother… are you using me, using the Yan family for your own gains? From start to finish?”
No, it’s not true, Lu Buchi wanted to explain, but seeing the questioning eyes, he thought of his past actions and intentions.
There was a hint of despair in his eyes.
A long time ago, it was indeed manipulation, it was indeed for mutual benefit, but… it wasn’t the case anymore, it hadn’t been for a long time…
Seeing her, he couldn’t help but smile, touching her, he couldn’t help but feel joy. He wished his heart could turn into water, melt away and show her his desires.
Luoluo… When she said she liked Elder Brother the most…
He wanted to hold her tightly, spin her around, and keep responding in her ear.
He loved her.
But saying it now, was it… too late?
Not hearing a response, Yan Luo slowly let go, her eyes empty. “All the good things you did for Luoluo… was it all…?”
