Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 522: Pregnancy hormones

They began to mention the rules while Qie Xieling and his entourage left. Qie Xieling wanted to tear apart the entire city looking for his husband who left him pregnant and moody.

Master Zi straightened his back when he saw Qie Xieling leave. He turned to look at the elders with a hint of smugness. He understood their policy very well. If it weren’t for this policy would his father have succeeded in removing the King? Qie Xieling walking away from the competition meant he was weak and wouldn’t get their support but Elder Xuan didn’t even show any sign of displeasure.

What he didn’t know was that the elders of the mercenary clans were looking for the culprit who made their King pregnant and deserted him. They needed a private word with him.

Luo Muchen heard the gong echo through the arena, signalling the start of the competition. He clenched his teeth and stepped out from behind the pillar, trying to ignore the throbbing pain in his arm. He had a splint holding his bone in place and had taken some medicine to ease his agony but it was still painful. He looked visibly pale and in pain.

Bo Ailun had given him tons of medicine enough to last the competition but he couldn’t join him. That’s because Master Lee told him if he left he would sell his mother to the brothel.

It was because of this he told Bo Ailun to let it go and stay with the Lee family. Bo Ailun was forced to withdraw from the competition thus he couldn’t accompany him.

Luo Mchen knew that Master Zi put him in this competition for a purpose. He wanted him dead and his broken arm only increased those chances. He knew that he might not walk out of this arena alive but he wasn’t going to go down without a fight. He had trained for years, and it wouldn’t be that easy to put him down. He had given Bo Ailun a letter to give Qie Xieling if anything happened to him.

He had written it last night when he heard that Master Zi was forcing him to reenter the competition. He had poured out his heart to his love on that paper, telling him how much he loved him, how much he regretted not leaving with him, how much he hoped to see him again. He hoped Qie Xieling would forgive him for this.

These words he would rather say them to him in person but the chance of that was likely slim.

He wished he could see Qie Xieling again one last time. He missed him so much. He missed his smile, his scent, his touch. He missed his soothing voice and the way he called out husband sweetly. He wanted to get back to him and hold him in his arms. He wanted to kiss him and tell him he loved him. He wanted to live with him and grow old with him. But he didn’t know if he would ever get that chance. He sighed and began to walk towards the iron gates.

Suddenly, he felt a gentle touch on his shoulder. Luo Muchen froze his entire body stiff. That fragrance he could recognise anywhere. He wanted it to be him but if it was him then wouldn’t he be in danger by being here? Luo Muchen was afraid to turn around but he also wanted to confirm if he was hallucinating.

He turned around and saw his husband standing there, his eyes filled with concern and love. Luo Muchen’s breath was caught in his throat as the two looked at each other, wordlessly.

Luo Muchen could see him with his eyes but he still couldn’t believe it. It must be that he missed him so much that he was hallucinating. He reached out to touch his face and the closer he got the more he thought he was in a perfect dream.

But before he could place his hand on him Qie Xieling’s expression changed to that of anger.

"You bastard!" he said before swinging his fist. Qie Xieling had lost it. He was constantly throwing up, his nipples were sore for some fucking reason and this man right here left him to deal with it alone. He wasn’t just mad. He was mad mad.

Luo Muchen caught his wrist with his uninjured wrist and pulled him forcefully closer until their lips met in a wild, passionate kiss. It was then he realised it wasn’t a dream. His tongue swept past Qie Xieling’s lips and pried his mouth open. Their tongues danced together, teasing and exploring one another with feather-light touches. Luo Muchen felt the flicker of arousal spark within him. His pulse raced; his heart beat wildly in his chest at the sensation of Qie Xieling pressed up against him.

Qie Xieling suddenly pushed him away. Panting heavily he stared into Luo Muchen’s heated gaze. "Don’t you dare touch me? I came here to get a divorce," he said his emotions all over the place. That’s not what he wanted to say but when he saw Luo Muchen was injured he got even more angrier. Since he wanted to endure all of this himself then he should grant him his wish.

Luo Muchen, "..."

"Lies. How could he divorce you when he is pre- mmm mmm," said Jolie only for her mouth to get sealed by Qie Xieling’s hand.

"Let’s go," said Qie Xieling as he walked towards the arena. Luo Muchen glanced at the men following after Qie Xieling and his brow furrowed. He didn’t know what was going on but that didn’t matter now. He had to do whatever it took to protect Qie Xieling.

"Are you not coming?!" yelled Qie Xieling and Luo Muchen smiled as he rushed over to catch up. If he had a tail he would be wagging it in excitement. He grabbed hold of Qie Xieling’s hand and Qie Xieling didn’t reject him. He tightened his hold slightly but his expression remained stern. It seemed like he was still upset but not upset enough to push him away. Qie Xieling sighed internally as he took a look at Luo Muchen’s broken arm at the corner of his eye. He wanted to know who did it so he could break every bone in their body in retaliation. No one not even himself was allowed to lay a hand on Luo Muchen yet someone had the balls.

’Pregnancy hormones hahaha,’ said Jolie in his head and Qie Xieling yelled,

’Shut up!’ Jolie couldn’t help but chuckle.
