He had known that his brother had planted someone close to him, but he never expected that person to be someone so intimately connected to him.
Well, this time the target area was small enough for him to identify and confront the person.
“How did you know I’m pregnant? You… were spying on me?” Su Yue asked cautiously.
Her previous self-had gone to the hospital to confirm the pregnancy only a month and a half had passed, which aligned with what this man said.
Di Kun’s eyes flickered briefly.
“I wasn’t spying just concerned.”
“After that day… I actually tried to find you. But due to some complications, I couldn’t confirm your identity.”
“I left for a while, and by the time I confirmed who you were, you were already on this barren planet. Shortly after, I also learned about your pregnancy.”
“I… should take responsibility for you.”
Su Yue was stunned.
“All right, it’s getting late. Let’s head back first, and we’ll talk more later.”
“By the way, please help me bring my spaceship along,” Di Kun said, his gaze flickering toward the silver ring on Su Yue’s hand.
Su Yue’s thoughts raced; the hand wearing the ring trembled slightly.
This man… he even knows about her space?
Thinking that he may have been monitoring her all along, Su Yue felt more cautious.
“And that star beast you can take it too,” Di Kun added.
Su Yue’s heart skipped a beat.
What’s happening?
Had her purification ability been exposed as well?
Damn it! She shouldn’t have healed him earlier.
Di Kun noticed Su Yue’s reaction, surprised.
If earlier he was merely guessing, now he had a stronger sense of certainty.
The mother of his child was indeed extraordinary…
Su Yue hesitated for two seconds, but in the end, she didn’t refuse.
She walked over and first stored the spaceship in her space, then the moose’s corpse.
Di Kun watched, his expression shifting slightly again.
“Let’s go,” Su Yue said after finishing, heading toward the hovering motorbike.
Su Yi hesitated for a moment, glanced at his “brother-in-law,” then followed Su Yue.
Di Kun smirked slightly and summoned a hovering motorbike from his mech necklace.
Mounting it, he followed the siblings.
Back at their rented apartment, Su Yue immediately sent Su Yi to the kitchen to cut sugarcane, then called Di Kun into her room.
Thoughts of propriety regarding a man and woman alone were not a concern for her.
She needed to talk to this man.
“I… will take responsibility for you and the child,” Di Kun said.
Su Yue couldn’t help but feel speechless.
“Responsibility? We… won’t discuss that yet.”
“How did you know I had a space ring?” Su Yue asked carefully. She wanted to ask directly if he knew about her space ability, but worried that if he didn’t, she would inadvertently reveal herself.
Di Kun’s eyes flickered as he looked at the silver ring on her hand.
“You’re sure it’s a space ring?” he asked.
Su Yue’s mind spun.
She held her expression, trying not to reveal anything unusual.
“What else could it be if not a space ring?” she countered.
Di Kun’s lips curved slightly.
“If you say so, let’s just treat it as one.”
Su Yue:
A silence fell.
Her mind was a whirlwind.
She desperately wanted to ask Di Kun how much he knew about her but dared not afraid she might slip up.
Di Kun watched her for a moment, then finally broke the silence.
“I’ve taken leave from the military. I’ll stay by your side until after you give birth and finish your confinement period.”
“Also, regarding marriage”
Su Yue’s eyes widened abruptly.
“That’s not urgent,” she quickly said.
She wanted to make it clear: she didn’t need him to take responsibility, and she didn’t want to marry him.
Yet, given that she couldn’t fully gauge his intentions, she dared not refuse outright.
Besides, she had other plans.
“I have another question,” she interjected before he could speak.
Di Kun nodded, signaling her to ask.
Su Yue looked at him.
“Can you help my brother and me clear our names and leave planet DQ008?”
“Since you could find me and know so much about me, you should know that my brother and I were wronged.”
Regardless of whether Di Kun genuinely wanted to take responsibility or had other motives, she wanted to see if she could use his help to free them from their predicament.
She wasn’t sentimental; if mutual cooperation was possible, she didn’t mind being called Mrs. Di in name.
Given the current circumstances, the situation couldn’t get any worse than it already was.
Di Kun remained silent.
Just as Su Yue felt disappointed, he finally spoke.
“Yes.”
“But… we’ll have to wait until your child is born, and after we’re married.”
When the man entered the room, Su Yue immediately felt a pressure she couldn’t shake.
Meeting his gaze, which seemed to see through everything, made her feel completely exposed.
Suppressing her emotions, she asked him to sit.
Di Kun smiled and sat across from her.
“Yue Yue, ask whatever you want,” he said.
“Cough” Su Yue nearly choked but quickly recovered.
“You can just call me Miss Su. We… aren’t that familiar yet,” she said coolly.
Di Kun’s brow furrowed. He was about to say, “We already have a child; how can we not be familiar?”
But Su Yue quickly continued.
“Mr. Di, what exactly is your identity? Why were you at Huating Hotel that night?”
“And how did you discover my identity… and my pregnancy?” Su Yue hurriedly asked, not wanting him to bring up the child again.
Di Kun’s eyes flickered.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
“My identity… due to certain military confidentiality clauses, I can’t reveal it yet.”
“But after we’re married, you’ll know everything.”
“For now, you can consider me a frontline mech pilot.”
Hearing the words “married,” Su Yue’s eyes widened.
Di Kun didn’t seem to notice and continued:
“That night at Huating Hotel… I was also being plotted against, just like you.”
“The people who targeted you and the people who targeted me… never expected that the two of us would” He flushed slightly recalling that night.
“Cough” Di Kun quickly composed himself.
“Tracing your identity shouldn’t have been difficult. It took so long because the people plotting against you, along with those plotting against me, erased traces at the hotel and set up obstacles.”
“Then, an urgent military recall forced me to leave, so I couldn’t find you in time.”
“After I left, I left someone in the capital to continue monitoring your situation. By the time we traced you, you and your brother had already been exiled to DQ008.”
“I could only order people to continue observing and unexpectedly learned you were carrying a child.”
He gently looked at Su Yue’s belly.
“Though we were both plotted against, ultimately, it was I who wronged you. Now you’re still carrying my child…”
