Chapter 215: Following the Example

Since Grace left, Lu Xia would often show Little Grape Grace's photos. She didn't want Little Grape to feel like she didn't have a father figure because of the lack of Grace's company.

So when Lu Xia mentioned the words "male father," Little Grape's dark eyes lit up instantly, and she asked with a look of surprise, "Really, Mother? Is my male father coming home? Will I be able to see him the day after tomorrow?"

Lu Xia smiled and patted her son's head: "Yes, we'll be able to see Xiong's father the day after tomorrow night."

"That's great!" Little Grape jumped up unconsciously, then pursed her lips and looked at Lu Xia with a hint of worry, "Mother, will Father like me when he sees me?"

Actually, if that's not the case, Lu Xia would often show him Grace's photos, because he didn't really remember who his father was.

After all, he was too young when Grace left and had no memory of it.

So when Lu Xia said that Grace's male father, the male who only existed in the photos, was about to appear, it was inevitable to have such worries.

He worried that his father wouldn't like him when he met him, and if that happened, he wouldn't know what to do.

Seeing Xiao Putao's anxious expression, Lu Xia hugged her son tightly: "No, your father won't dislike you. He misses you very much, I can guarantee that. Of course, if he does that, I will punish him. So Xiao Putao, don't worry. Besides, our Xiao Putao is so cute, who wouldn't like him?"

Coaxed gently by Lu Xia, Little Grape showed a slightly embarrassed smile, but her anxiety had disappeared, and she became happy again: "Mother, I am still looking forward to Father Xiong coming home."

"I know." Although Little Grape is young, she has probably inherited Grace's composure and has been mature since childhood, so she hardly needs any care.

But often, sensible children need more love and care from their parents.

Just as Lu Xia was talking to Little Grape, Little Xiangxiang was also taken down by the nanny. Little Xiangxiang, who had just drunk milk, was nestled in the nanny's arms. Now almost 5 months old, Little Xiangxiang has grown a lot compared to before, but she is still a small and soft little bundle.

Seeing the little grape in Lu Xia's arms, Xiao Xiangxiang immediately raised her head, stretched out her little hands, and reached towards the little grape, her golden eyes full of smiles.

It's obvious that she knows Little Grape.

It's probably because Little Grape often visits her and plays with her.

Seeing this, Lu Xia smiled and asked Little Grape, "Do you want to go play with your sister?"

As Little Grape nodded, she gently grasped Little Fragrance's wrist: "Yes!"

So Lu Xia signaled to the nanny holding Xiao Xiangxiang to put Xiao Xiangxiang on the ground.

He also loosened his grip on Little Grape, allowing the two siblings to interact and play better.

Little Grape sat on the ground talking to Little Fragrance. Little Fragrance couldn't speak yet, only babbling. The two, one big and one small, could play together.

Lu Xia looked at the two little ones with a smile in her eyes.

Smerian came in from outside after get off work and noticed this scene. A tender look appeared in his eyes. This was his whole world.

He stood silently to the side for a long time without making a sound, until Lu Xia looked up and noticed him, and asked with a smile, "When did you get back?"

Smerian then smiled and walked over to sit next to Lu Xia, naturally reaching out to pull her into his arms: "Just now."

Little Grape heard the voice, looked up, and then obediently called out, "Father Smerian, welcome home."

Smerian returned Grape's smile. Lu Xia then told him about Grace's return home the day after tomorrow, and Smerian nodded: "I know, I'll go home early that day."

Simon did not have dinner at home that evening because he had something to do.

However, the next day, when Lu Xia came downstairs, she saw Simon sitting at the dining table, having breakfast.

Seeing her approach, Simon stood up and pulled out a chair for her: "Good morning, Your Grace."

"Good morning, Simon." After Lu Xia sat down, she noticed a black box on the table. Before she could ask, Simon pushed the box in front of her. "This is the Wood Spirit Gene."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Xia's eyes. She hadn't expected Simon to find the Wood Spirit gene so quickly: "You didn't go home last night because of this?"

“Yes, the clues are reliable, but I need to go there in person.” He didn’t explain the specific process of obtaining the Wood Spirit gene, and Lu Xia didn’t ask any further questions. She smiled, picked up the box, opened it, and confirmed that there was indeed a Wood Spirit gene inside. “Come with me to Courtyard No. 2 later. Now that we have the Wood Spirit gene, we can begin the next step of research.”

Simon smiled and nodded: "Okay, what's the current progress of the Golden Spirit Gene?"

"Jinling gene extract has been successfully developed and is currently in the testing phase. This process will take a while, but we have a lot of experience, so don't worry."

“I know.” Simon knew very well that by his time, Duke Lu Xia had already achieved two remarkable results in the extraction of alien genes. Grace and Smerian were now both alien gene fusionists.

It's only a matter of time before Cecil and he get together.

Even though one knows that this is not a difficult task for Duke Lu Xia, it still gives one a sense of unbelievable disorientation.

After all, extracting heterologous genes is much more difficult than gene fusion preparations, but Lu Xia has already overcome these difficulties.

"I heard Grace will be back tomorrow night. Is there anything we need to prepare?"

Clearly, the old butler had informed Simon in advance.

"You don't need to prepare anything. I've already had the housekeeper prepare everything. Just come back as usual tomorrow." Lu Xia has always been a person who likes things to be simple.

Simon nodded, indicating that he understood.

After having breakfast, Lu Xia went back to her room to tidy up before going to Courtyard No. 2 with Simon.

As soon as they arrived, they ran into Lan Ya, who had come to Courtyard No. 2 to give people injections of gene fusion agents.

Upon seeing Lu Xia and Simon, Lan Ya's eyes lit up. She looked Simon up and down, then clicked her tongue and said, "Is this your husband again?"

Lu Xia was already used to Lan Ya's sarcastic remarks whenever she faced her partner: "This is Simon, what brings you here?"

When the topic came up, Lan Ya curled her lips into a smile: "I recently acquired a defective male and brought him here to be injected with a gene fusion agent."

Lu Xia glanced at the young males in the consultation room, somewhat surprised that Lan Ya was now also choosing defective males as mates.

"Then congratulations?" Not knowing what to say at this moment, Lu Xia asked suspiciously.

"Thank you." Unexpectedly, Lan Ya seemed to appreciate it.
