Chapter 640: Shen Qingci and Su Mo’s Reinforcements Arrive

Chapter 640 Shen Qingci and Su Mo Arrive with Reinforcements

This was a release of six months of pent-up emotions. As tears streamed down, the long-held feelings finally found an outlet.

Wu Yue sat sideways in Shen Que’s embrace, her arms wrapped around his neck, crying too hard to speak.

Half a year ago, she endured alone, made decisions alone, and left alone.

Facing the possibility of betrayal and anger from everyone, and a rescue that might never come—

She bore it all alone, enduring it all through blood and tears, gritting her teeth through the pain.

Hearing Wu Yue cry until her voice grew hoarse and her tears ran dry, Shen Que felt his heart wrench, but he could finally relax.

Shen Que held Wu Yue tightly in his arms, gently stroking the back of her neck as he comforted her, “It’s okay now, sweetheart. I’m here. No one can hurt you anymore.”

This made Wu Yue even sadder. “Did you suffer a lot to get here?”

Shen Que replied, “As long as I can see you, no amount of suffering is too much.”

Clutching Shen Que tightly, Wu Yue said tearfully, “Shen Que, it’s so unlucky that you met me.”

Shen Que chuckled softly. “I’m not unlucky. Meeting you is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

As long as I can see you, I’m willing to endure any hardship.”

Wu Yue couldn’t hold back her tears. Shen Que gently stroked her head and said,

“Wu Yue, if you truly care about me, don’t push me away. Being abandoned by you would make me the most pitiful.

You gave me a home. If you leave me, I’ll truly be homeless again.”

Wu Yue’s tears flooded out. “But I wanted to abort our child. The baby must have known I didn’t want it, which is why the pregnancy terminated itself.

The more you love me, the more easily you forgive me, the harder it is for me to forgive myself.

You want a family so badly, yet I was going to take away your family with my own hands.”

Shen Que let out a bitter laugh. “So this is the reason you’ve been hesitating and avoiding me?”

Wu Yue nodded. “Yes.”

Shen Que cradled Wu Yue’s face and kissed the tears away from her eyelashes. “Wu Yue, I’ve been infected with the DX001 virus for a long time. Less than half a month before you became pregnant, I suffered a severe viral attack, not to mention whatever stuff Lu Xiu has been feeding you over the past six months.

This wasn't a healthy pregnancy from the start, and you haven’t even had basic prenatal care. I never wanted to keep this child.

From the beginning, I never planned for you to have a child. I do want a family, but only with you. From start to finish, you're the only one I've ever wanted.

You fear a bleak childhood, and I fear it too. I’m also afraid I don't have the ability to be a good father.

Because I’ve given all my love to you, I don’t know how to share it with anyone else.”

Wu Yue said sadly, “But the baby is innocent too.”

Shen Que replied, “Wu Yue, you need to think of yourself first.

You came here alone to save your parents, for the sake of the Alliance’s children, and to save my life.

Now, you’re worrying about the child. This is exactly the trap Lu Xiu laid for you.”

Don't keep dwelling on it, give yourself a break.

You are first and foremost yourself, not someone's child, someone's mother, or someone's wife—before taking on any of these roles.

First, you must survive.

Otherwise, these roles hold no meaning for you.

Shen Que held Wu Yue's face, gazing intently into her eyes,

"Trust me, our child, the child you'd have for me.

If there's any way to save it, I will do everything in my power.

But this time, whether it's you or me, we must survive first. Let's focus on staying alive before we think about the child, okay?

Only by surviving can we have hope and a new beginning."

Wu Yue's pupils were shaking intensely; she averted her gaze, clearly still struggling with the weight of responsibility.

Shen Que cupped the back of her neck, looking straight at her, and told her word by word:

"Wu Yue, being pregnant with this child is no different than those women in the old days who were trafficked into remote mountains.

Even if it's my child, this situation itself goes against your will, aiming to control your mind and body.

It was something forced on you when you were cornered, with no other choice.

Wu Yue, if you could harden your heart before I showed up, then my presence shouldn't become an obstacle to your actions now.

Our love should be the driving force that pushes you forward, never a hindrance.

Don't you even think about trading your life for the child's, repaying your guilt toward me with a life for a life.

What you owe me, you'll repay yourself—with yourself.

I don't want the child, I only want you.

Wu Yue, you said it yourself—you are mine, mine alone. No take-backs."

The room fell into silence, Shen Que's words still hanging in the air.

Solemn, calm, rational, and reliable—this time, Shen Que was exactly as he'd described himself: he could give her absolute security, shelter her under a protective umbrella.

Wu Yue looked at Shen Que for a moment, then brushed away the hand he'd been using to stroke her head since earlier.

Her face expressionless, she said, "Have you had enough? Don't think I didn't notice—you almost broke character in the middle of your speech, burying your face in my neck to stifle your laughter."

Shen Que put on a stern face, refusing to admit it. "Miss Wu Yue, we're talking about something serious here. Please don't change the subject."

Wu Yue started to stand up. "General Shen, I got everything you said.

But during work hours, I hope you can keep work and personal life separate. Don't use your position to take advantage of female colleagues."

Shen Que's serious expression broke. "You're my wife!"

Wu Yue grabbed the communicator from his hand. "You focus on your work. Right now, I'm an undocumented person stranded in the Order Realm, a hostage in the conflict between two worlds. Just give me proper hostage treatment."

Unable to unlock his communicator, she stuck it right in his face. "Pull up that anime from earlier. I want to keep watching."

Shen Que stomped furiously, "...!!! Wu Yue! Did you even listen to a single word I just said!?"

Wu Yue nodded, "I heard you, and I think what you said makes perfect sense.

But General Shen, that was then, this is now. You're here to carry out the mission of destroying the world—work should still come first.

The sooner you take down the Order Realm, the sooner we can go back, right?

Hurry up and unlock this for me, and while you're at it, add my fingerprint and iris. That way, I can use it myself later without bothering you or wasting General Shen’s precious time."

Shen Que looked at Wu Yue with meaning, a sudden, defiant smile curling at the corner of his lips. He made a show of taking the communicator and trying to unlock it for a long time, just as Wu Yue grew impatient and leaned in to ask if he was done.

Shen Que suddenly picked Wu Yue up and headed straight for the bedroom. Wu Yue immediately struggled, "Put me down!"

Shen Que, "Dream on."

Wu Yue, "I’m pregnant!"

Shen Que pressed Wu Yue down onto the bed, stood up, and began unbuttoning and taking off his clothes.

Shen Que sneered, "Yeah, pregnant. I’ll serve you, make you feel good."

Wu Yue’s eyes lingered on Shen Que’s gradually exposed collarbone, chest muscles, and eight-pack abs, couldn't look away.

She protested weakly, "Shen Que, you’re a pervert!!

You’re a general who does nothing all day but think about harassing female colleagues—your work ethic is problematic!"

Shen Que took off his clothes and started unbuckling his belt. He looked down at Wu Yue from above, his gaze uninhibited.

"My conduct is questionable? Wu Yue, one kiss from you would fix this. You’ve been making such a big deal out of nothing—we could’ve kissed a hundred times over by now.

Stop pretending. You know exactly what I mean—you yourself can figure out what I’m talking about, can't you?

If you really didn’t get it, how could you argue with Lu Xiu so confidently every time?

You know damn well I’m crazy about you, that I have to have you—you’re just trying to piss me off!

You’re just acting coy, wanting me to spoil you. Well, I will. I’ll spoil you, and I’ll make sure you’re completely satisfied."

Shen Que closed in instantly, holding Wu Yue down so she couldn’t move.

Wu Yue’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. She pushed against him but couldn’t budge him.

"Wait... how is this me acting coy? I was seriously trying to break u— ah... Shen Que..."

Shen Que lifted his head, "Break up? Divorce? Go ahead, say it. I’ll remember it every time. You’ll make it up to me in bed later."

Wu Yue was so furious she felt dizzy, "Shen Que, let me go!"

Shen Que scoffed, "Call me 'husband.' If you don’t know how to say it, I’ll spend the whole day teaching you.

I’ll personally make sure you learn it—until you get it right."

As soon as he finished speaking—

"Welcome the return of SSS+-class Fallen Angel Shen Qingci to the Order Realm."

"Welcome the return of SSS+-class Siren Su Mo to the Order Realm."

Watching Shen Que’s face instantly darken, Wu Yue couldn't help laughing.

So much for spending the whole day—he thought he was so great.

Well... work's here!
