“Mm.” Su Yue responded softly.
She suppressed her reckless impulses and decided to go check the situation.
Although the people on the spaceship hadn’t intentionally come to rescue them, they had, in fact, saved them.
Besides, the spaceship bore a military insignia there might be surveillance or records onboard.
If they ignored the person and let them die here, and it was later investigated, they might be held accountable.
Her and her brother’s exile sentence was twenty years, but she didn’t want to remain stranded on this barren planet or take on an even heavier sentence.
So, Su Yue walked toward the spaceship.
Su Yi followed nervously.
When they reached the cockpit, Su Yue finally saw the situation clearly.
There was indeed a person inside, wearing a mask that obscured their face.
The cockpit showed obvious signs of damage. Safety airbags had deployed, and the person inside looked weak and injured.
The person gestured toward the glass, and Su Yue understood.
She instructed Su Yi to break the glass.
Su Yi obeyed.
Once the glass was broken, the person inside breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yue then directed Su Yi to pull the person out.
Three minutes later, the injured person was lying on the ground.
Su Yue stepped forward and removed their helmet.
The moment she saw the person’s face, she froze.
What the?!
The man on the ground gave her a weak smile. “Thank you”
Su Yue’s heart raced.
Oh my God… oh my God!
The father of the child in her womb the one she thought she’d never see again was here!
That’s right, this man was the father of her unborn child, the man from a fateful, reckless night.
Her previous self-had tried to look him up afterward, but found nothing.
The only thing certain was that he wasn’t arranged by her stepsister.
In short, her previous self-had been schemed against, but she hadn’t been ruined by some fifty-year-old man as her stepsister had planned.
“Heh… luckily I wasn’t too late” The man spoke again, his gaze drifting toward Su Yue’s belly.
Su Yue followed his gaze and stared at her abdomen, her mind spinning.
What do you mean not too late?
No… she hoped she wasn’t thinking what she was thinking.
“Don’t worry. From now on with me around you and the baby won’t suffer anymore”
What?!
Su Yue’s head felt ready to explode.
Isn’t it usually the case that men deny responsibility?
And yet this man had traveled all the way to this barren planet to find her or rather, her child?
He even deliberately used his spaceship to crash into star beasts to save her?
She dared not believe it.
Also… how did he even know she had a child?
As Su Yue’s mind whirled, a loud crash suddenly echoed.
The moose-like star beast, previously pinned under the spaceship, was struggling free.
It glared at them viciously, clearly intent on taking revenge once freed.
Su Yue’s expression changed drastically. Seeing the moose about to break free, her eyes landed on a string of mech necklaces around the man’s neck.
She reached out instinctively.
“Your mech is for my brother. His mental power is S-class!” Su Yue said quickly.
“No it needs to be at least double-S!”
“I’m poisoned. Don’t worry about me! Cough! Let my brother take you on the hoverboard quick!” the man urged urgently.
Su Yue was stunned.
She touched the man’s wrist.
Activating her mental power, she detected the poison inside him.
Seeing the moose almost free, she acted immediately, using her abilities.
The poison in his body vanished instantly.
The man, previously paralyzed, quickly recovered.
His eyes widened in shock.
Without wasting a moment, he stood, pushing Su Yue into Su Yi’s arms.
Then, he touched the mech necklace on his chest, and before the moose could reach them, leaped into a suddenly appearing silver mech.
The mech was humanoid, slightly larger than the moose, sleek and visually striking, reminiscent of a Transformer.
Before Su Yue could take it in fully, the silver mech stepped forward and thrust its sword into the moose.
She couldn’t tell what the sword was made of, but the blade’s energy split the moose cleanly in two.
Su Yue and Su Yi were both dumbfounded.
This… this is too powerful…
After the battle, the silver mech turned back and waved at Su Yue.
Her heart raced; she felt a strange pull toward the impressive mech.
As the mech disappeared, the man reappeared.
His handsome features were accentuated by the sunset.
Even Su Yue, who thought she could resist attractive men, felt her heart flutter.
She quickly averted her gaze.
Humph. End-of-the-world experience taught her that handsome men were dangerous.
Beauty like this was poison either hemlock or arsenic!
Su Yi, however, didn’t think much, his eyes full of admiration.
“You’re amazing! Wh-what is that mech?” he asked excitedly as he approached.
The man’s lips curled slightly.
“It’s called Wind Cutter. If you want, you can try it later.”
Although an S-class mental power couldn’t fully control a double-S-class mech, simple operations were possible.
Su Yi’s eyes lit up.
“Really?!” he asked, thrilled.
“Mm.”
Su Yue watched from the side, feeling dazzled.
What brother? Is he calling him ‘brother’? He’s really forward…
Su Yue stepped forward and pulled Su Yi away from the man.
“Sir, thank you for saving us earlier. But it’s late, and we have business. We should leave now.”
She prepared to take Su Yi and leave.
She didn’t even care about the moose’s corpse she just wanted to get out quickly.
But the man wouldn’t let her go so easily.
He raised a hand to block her path.
Su Yue frowned and met his gaze.
“My name is Di Kun. You can call me Kun.”
“Cough” Su Yue nearly choked.
Di Kun stepped closer, trying to pat her back.
Su Yue raised her hand in warning.
“Cough, Mr. Di, we’re not that familiar.”
Di Kun’s handsome brow furrowed.
“Not familiar? But our baby is already four months old!”
Su Yue’s mind went blank.
Su Yi stepped forward again.
“Baby? You mean the baby in Yue Yue’s belly is yours?!” he asked Di Kun in shock.
“Mm,” Di Kun confirmed.
Su Yi’s jaw dropped.
Su Yue wanted to scream.
This man… is he out of his mind?!
“Sorry. I found out about the child too late,” Di Kun said.
“But once I knew, I planned to find you.”
“I had a lot of matters to handle first, so it took some time.”
“Then, there was a little accident on the way here,” he said, glancing at his spaceship.
