Chapter 247 Competition.

When they returned home, Grace and Smerian had also returned home earlier. When they saw Lu Xia return, the two of them came up to greet him and gave him a hug.

Then came the little ones, Little Grape and Little Fragrance, who ran over and hugged Lu Xia, saying, "Mom, I missed you so much!"

Little Xiangxiang hugged Lu Xia, her little face pressed against hers, soft and adorable.

Little Grape also clung to her leg and wouldn't let go.

As for the twins, they are still small and need to be held by the nanny. They do recognize who Lu Xia is, and they still remember her even after being separated for a week.

Lu Xia went over and hugged the two little ones. The two little ones were quite heavy, and after being hugged by Lu Xia, they even smiled and spit out bubbles.

The old butler had already had someone bring in the things Lu Xia brought back from Huahaixing, and came over to say, "Madam, dinner is ready."

"I'll go upstairs to change my clothes and be right back. Please have a seat." After saying that, Lu Xia called to Xiao Putao and Xiao Xiangxiang, "I brought gifts for you all. Come up and take a look."

The two little ones cheered and followed.

As soon as Lu Xia entered the house, she received a voice and video message from Lan Ya. Upon opening it, she saw a cub and Lan Ya said with a smile, "Let me show you my little male cub. Isn't he cute!"

Lu Xia had heard from Eugene that Lan Ya had given birth, but she didn't expect that Lan Ya would wait until today to contact her.

I guess I finally thought of her because I've been showing off my baby these past few days.

"Then let me show you mine too." Lu Xia pointed the camera directly at Little Grape and Little Fragrance.

Upon hearing this, the two little ones simultaneously looked up at the camera.

Lan Ya immediately felt that she couldn't compare at all. Of course, she also noticed the things on Lu Xia's ground: "You just got back. It seems you had a great time on this trip?"

"That's nice. I also brought you a gift, and one for the baby. I'll come see you later and give it to you."

"That's great! You have no idea how much my family and friends have been following my story ever since they found out I conceived naturally and gave birth to the baby. They've been practically wearing down my doorstep!"

Lan Ya's tone was both proud and helpless, quite contradictory, but how could Lu Xia not see that she was mostly happy inside?

"How is the child?"

“My baby was half-beast-like right after birth. There’s just a difference between naturally conceived and artificially bred babies. Not to mention the gene fusion agents, he won’t have to suffer like this in the future. I’m thinking of finding a different gene for him now. Isn’t your technology mature? When I find one, can we arrange it right away?”

"You've thought things through quite far. You can prepare. My technology is very mature, but I will charge a fee."

"Of course, he was conceived and born naturally, so I'll definitely give him the best. Don't tell me you haven't thought about that."

Lu Xia hadn't really thought that far ahead, but after Lan Ya's reminder, looking at Xiao Putao and then at the other two, she figured it was time to approve them. They were all her children, and she couldn't favor one over the other.

However, this is something that doesn't need to be explained so clearly to Lan Ya.

Lan Ya is probably still recovering, and there are people at home taking care of the baby, so she doesn't have much free time.

After talking to Lu Xia about the baby, she couldn't help but mention her family. Seeing that she had succeeded, they had also gone to Courtyard No. 3 to buy the liquid preparation and had already started drinking it. "Do they all meet the requirements?" Lu Xia hadn't forgotten that the direct requirement for selling the liquid now was to have qualified defective male partners.

"Isn't that easy? Even now, finding a defective male as a mate isn't so easy anymore. Everyone knows what's going on. But if the money is right, everything is fine."

Hearing Lan Ya say this, Lu Xia didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only say that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

"Is it necessary to do this? Our research has never stopped, and it will eventually be popularized to the whole population. It's just a matter of time."

“That was definitely necessary. If I had followed your example back then, how would I have such an adorable baby now?” Lan Ya is still feeling fortunate for her quick thinking.

Although Lu Xia couldn't understand, she expressed her respect.

It is also clear that, regardless of whether it is an empire or a federal system, this hierarchical structure that has permeated the entire nation cannot be changed overnight.

She doesn't have such ambitions, and she has no right to interfere with what others do; doing her best is what matters.

However, to Lu Xia's surprise, she underestimated the impact of natural conception.

The next day, while browsing the news on my way to Courtyard No. 3, I saw a report that said two female owners got into a fight over a male who had been transformed from a defective product into a gene fusion individual, and both ended up in the hospital as a result.

This would have been almost unthinkable news in the past.

But in today's context, it is indeed possible.

The fact that this has been reported suggests that this is likely not just one or two incidents.

Sure enough, Lu Xia searched again and a lot of relevant information popped up—

"Not long ago, a woman next door found a defective male who was transformed into a gene fusion donor. But after only two days, the male ran away. I heard that another woman paid him more. After the affair was exposed, the two even got into a fight. Our street was quite a scene because of this!"

"What a coincidence! Something similar happened at our workplace the other day. Two female protagonists came to the company at the same time, looking for one of our colleagues who was transformed into a genetic fusion individual, and asked him on the spot who he would choose. How exciting!"

"To put it bluntly, even though I'm married, people still ask me if I'd be willing to be with her. I never thought I'd be so sought after one day. But I do have my bottom line. My wife treats me well."

"Didn't you see the news the other day? There were cases of women ending up in the hospital fighting over males, all because of natural conception. It's insane!"

"I can understand, they just don't want to wait. It's because defective males that are transformed into gene fusion individuals can increase the conception rate. But I don't think it's necessary. Natural conception and childbirth are certainly precious, but being born like this is quite meaningless."

……

Lu Xia knew very well that this had nothing to do with the Third Institute. The only thing they could do was to speed up the research and popularize it among the general public in order to break the current situation.

While we have the will to do this, it will also take time.

Dr. Eugene knew she was coming today and had prepared his report in advance. However, when Lu Xia saw him, her first words were: "Give me an examination first."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Eugene immediately understood the meaning behind her words and, without asking any further questions, took Lu Xia directly to the examination room.
