Xie Linyu's words came abruptly, and although his voice was not loud, they were clearly heard by everyone.

He remained nestled on the sofa, his injured arm resting on the armrest. He turned his head slightly, his blue eyes staring straight at Lu Yao, a look of nonchalance mixed with something else.

The lounge fell silent instantly.

The director and producer exchanged a glance, their eyes subtly shifting between Xie Linyu and Fu Ciyan.

Lu Yao was also stunned for a moment. She didn't remember making such a promise to Xie Linyu.

She subconsciously looked at Xiao Chen next to her and saw that Xiao Chen was standing there stiffly, with an expression that said, "Who am I? Where am I? What's going on?"

I knew it; Xie Linyu, that bastard, was doing it on purpose, taking the opportunity to extort money.

However, it is true that Xie Linyu saved her, so it is understandable that he wants a meal as a token of his gratitude.

"Let's do it another day. I'll contact Xiao Chen." Lu Yao replied naturally and casually, clearly showing she was sincere.

Xie Linyu, who had expected Lu Yao to ask "When did she say that?" on the spot, looked at Lu Yao's calm expression and felt a tightness in his chest that he couldn't vent. She didn't care.

She's always like this; she seems indifferent to his words and his person.

At this moment, Xie Linyu really couldn't help but start to doubt his own charm.

Could it be that all those women who yell at him every day are paid shills?

Xiao Chen glanced nervously at Xie Linyu, who seemed completely oblivious to the situation, and quickly smiled, "Okay, then I'll wait for Miss Lu Yao's message."

Lu Yao nodded to him, then turned to Fu Ciyan and said, "Let's go."

Fu Ciyan very naturally reached out and put his arm around her waist, leading her out.

A group of people watched them walk away, and couldn't help but say, "It seems that General Fu and Miss Lu Yao have a very good relationship. Was General Fu not forced into this match, but did it voluntarily?"

"Who knows? Maybe Miss Lu Yao has some kind of magic."

Xie Linyu didn't want to listen to these old folks chirping, so he got up and left with Xiao Chen, though his face was much darker than when he arrived.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xie, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Didn't Miss Lu Yao already agree to have dinner with you?"

He wasn't really stupid; he was there the whole time and knew whether Lu Yao had mentioned inviting Xie Linyu to dinner.

Caught off guard, Xie Linyu hissed, "Why are you talking so much now?"

Xiao Chen blinked, looking completely innocent.

He only said that one sentence, why is he talking so much now? Why is Brother Xie so hard to understand?

Lu Yao and Fu Ciyan returned to the car together and closed the door. Lu Yao said, "Thank you for today. If it weren't for you, this compensation agreement would definitely not be what it is today."

Fu Ciyan remained silent for a long while before asking, "Did you really have a dinner date with Xie Linyu?"

Lu Yao was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked up, not expecting him to care about this matter.

"He saved me, so treating him to a meal as a thank you shouldn't be too much of a burden, right?"

Fu Ciyan looked at the girl's puzzled expression and nodded gently: "You're right, so as your current partner, I also have an obligation to thank him with you. Let's invite him over to our home, and I'll cook a meal to thank him myself."

Lu Yao was completely stunned.

Fu Ciyan wants to personally cook a meal to thank Xie Linyu? And she even wants to invite him to her home?

This sounds really weird. Could he have secretly poisoned it?

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Lu Yao asked cautiously. "You're so busy with work, how can I ask you to cook?"

"We're practically family now. What's wrong with family members thanking each other? Besides, it's just cooking a meal, it's nothing. Or is it that you don't want to invite him over and just want to go out to eat with him alone?"

He emphasized the word "alone".

Lu Yao felt extremely awkward listening to this, as if Fu Ciyan was very concerned that she would be alone with Xie Linyu.

Surely he can't be jealous?

Lu Yao was amused by her own idea.

She's overthinking things.

"Okay, since you don't mind, I'll invite him over for a bit. When are you free?"

"The day after tomorrow." Fu Ciyan actually gave a time, and Lu Yao didn't hesitate and sent a message to Xiao Chen directly.

[Does Actor Xie have time the day after tomorrow afternoon? I'd like to invite him to my home. Here's the address; you can come along too.]

Upon receiving the message, Xiao Chen immediately reached out and nudged Xie Linyu, who was curled up on the sofa in a state of "post-coital bliss": "Brother Xie, Brother Xie, Miss Lu Yao sent a message saying she'd like you to come to her house the day after tomorrow afternoon. She said I can come with you too. Can I go, brother?"

Xie Linyu slowly raised his head, then stood up and moved closer to Xiao Chen to look at the message on his terminal. He smiled and said, "Reply to her that I will be there on time."

While replying, Xiao Chen asked again, unwilling to give up, "What about me, brother? Can I go or not? I also want to see what Miss Lu Yao's house is like."

Xie Linyu glanced at him: "Can you take me there?"

"..." Xiao Chen's expression froze, and he said something that almost poisoned Xie Linyu to death, "Do you think Miss Lu Yao will be entertaining you alone the day after tomorrow, or with General Fu, brother?"

Xie Linyu: "..."

Lu Yao received Xiao Chen's reply and relayed it to Fu Ciyan; Xie Linyu had agreed.

The man responded faintly, without saying anything.

When they got home, parked the car, and walked one after the other to their front door, they saw a package lying there.

Lu Yao's face lit up with joy as she walked over and picked it up: "It was delivered so quickly."

Fu Ciyan glanced down at them and casually asked, "What did you buy?"

Lu Yao gave him a mysterious look: "You'll find out later."

Fu Ciyan raised an eyebrow, but didn't press further. After entering the house, he asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Make whatever you want, anything you make tastes good anyway. I'm going to take a shower first, I'm all sweaty and feel terrible." Lu Yao took the package into the bedroom, but just as she was taking off her clothes to go to the bathroom, Fu Ciyan suddenly hugged her from behind. "Let's shower together, it'll save time."

He didn't give her a chance to refuse, and directly sealed her lips with his, forcefully taking her over.

Lu Yao didn't know why he suddenly acted this way. Unable to push him away, she could only silently enjoy it.

Anyway, Fu Ciyan is quite good at being affectionate these days.

However, Fu Ciyan didn't really know what he was upset about. In short, the way Zhou Jinlu and Xie Linyu looked at Lu Yao made him feel particularly displeased.

This dislike made him want to do something to prove his existence by Lu Yao's side, preferably to leave a permanent mark on her body and heart.

Let everyone know that Lu Yao is his.

Don't try to covet it.
