Upon hearing Fu Ciyan mention her mother, Qin Shu's arrogance instantly subsided. She pouted and stomped her foot in frustration, "I won't let this go!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Lu Yao watched Qin Shu leave, then turned to Fu Ciyan, whose brows were furrowed: "Your childhood sweetheart?"

"My childhood sweetheart there is several years younger than me." Fu Ciyan rubbed his temples. "I'm sorry you had to see this."

"Don't feel bad, this joke is quite funny." Lu Yao curled her lips, intending to tease him. "I didn't expect General Fu to be so popular. Since she's an old friend of your family and has feelings for you, why didn't you choose her when you were matched?"

She felt that given their family backgrounds, their relationship might even become a beautiful story.

Fu Ciyan looked down at her with a sinister gaze.

Lu Yao belatedly realized what was happening: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Lu Yao," Fu Ciyan's voice was low, carrying a dangerous undercurrent, "she's here to steal me away, can't you sense it?"

He stepped forward, closing the distance between them. His tall figure loomed over her, creating an invisible sense of oppression. "Are you genuinely clueless, or are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat at his sudden approach, and she instinctively tried to back away, but he grabbed her wrist.

His palms were burning hot, and his strength was just right, but he didn't give her the chance to break free.

"Well, I was just asking out of curiosity. If you're upset, I won't say anything more. But what she said makes sense. Anyway, we only have a 3 or 4-month matching period, and she'll still have a chance after that."

Even if Fu Ciyan can hide for a while, can he hide forever?

"You don't need to worry about that, but Lu Yao, she won't just come once. Next time, you'd better deal with her properly. If I find out you're trying to push me away, you can try."

Fu Ciyan spoke those last words softly and slowly, yet each word seemed to carry shards of ice, striking Lu Yao's heart.

No, is it really necessary to get so angry?

It's like she's the one who's going to cheat on him. Wasn't that woman after him?

But Lu Yao didn't dare say these words aloud. She could only nod haphazardly and blurt out, "I know, I know. If she dares to come looking for me next time, I'll say I love you to death, that no one can separate us, and that I want to have your child. Is that alright?"

"Really?" Fu Ciyan's eyes lit up instantly, the heat in them burning like a fire.

"What? Really?" Lu Yao didn't react for a moment.

"Is it true that you want to have my child?"

"..." Damn, did she go too far? "Ahem, I was just saying. With the current fertility rate, I can't have a baby even if I wanted to. Just listen to it and don't take it to heart."

As soon as Lu Yao finished speaking, she felt the force on her wrist suddenly increase.

The glimmer of light that had just ignited in Fu Ciyan's eyes was instantly covered by a layer of dark gloom.

"Just saying?" He repeated those four words, his voice low and deep, as if squeezed out from between his teeth. "Lu Yao, do you think that you can say anything 'just saying' in front of me, and then easily brush it off with a 'don't take it to heart'?"

He moved closer, trapping her completely between himself and the wall, the shadows enveloping her entirely.

The low pressure emanating from him made Lu Yao instinctively feel danger.

"I..." Lu Yao's heart pounded at the sight of the emotions surging in his eyes. She wanted to explain, but the next second she heard Fu Ciyan say, "But what if I've fallen for him? Are you going to have his baby?"

The air seemed to freeze.

The light from the ceiling lights in the corridor seemed to have become cold and glaring.

He took it to heart.

He said he put his heart into it.

"Even if I wanted to, I couldn't have one, right, Fu Ciyan?" Lu Yao leaned against the wall, a slight smile playing on her lips. "If you don't like it, I won't make this joke again."

Fu Ciyan snorted coldly, no longer trying to scare her, and took a step back: "How do you know you can't give birth if you don't try? What if you don't?"

He then slightly curled the corners of his lips: "Shall we try it tonight?"

"Huh?" This time it was Lu Yao's turn to panic. "Are you kidding me?"

Fu Ciyan looked at her eyes widen instantly and her face filled with panic, and the gloom in his eyes dissipated a little.

"You think I'm joking?" He tilted his head slightly, his gaze lingering on her face, not missing a single subtle change in expression. "Yaoyao, didn't you bring up 'having a baby' first? I was just responding positively, testing the possibility, and pushing our daily task forward. After all, we've been stuck at 'Good' for too long; it's time to reach 'Excellent,' don't you think?"

Lu Yao glanced away, knowing full well that she couldn't continue talking to Fu Ciyan; the topic was too dangerous. "Well, I should go back now. We can talk about this another day. If you're bored, you can go home now."

After saying that, Lu Yao tried to run away, but Fu Ciyan grabbed her, then lowered his head and gently bit her lips before releasing her panicked state: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to get off work."

Lu Yao ran away in a panic, her lips still bearing the strong sensation left by Fu Ciyan.

As her figure disappeared from the training room, Fu Ciyan looked at Xie Linyu and Xiao Chen not far away.

Xiao Chen hunched his shoulders, looking like he wanted to disappear from the spot in the next second.

Xie Linyu then exchanged glances with Fu Ciyan from a distance.

"Miss Lu Yao seems to be quite resistant to General Fu's intimacy."

"How could that be? She just said she wanted to have my baby. Didn't you hear that while you were standing there for so long?" Fu Ciyan raised an eyebrow and curled his lips into a provocative smile.

Xie Linyu frowned slightly.

Even if he wanted to deny it, he had to admit that Fu Ciyan did have the right and opportunity, after all, he was now Lu Yao's match, and they had the closest relationship.

Even if the walking marriage continues into the summer, this relationship may only last for 3 to 4 months.

He is not someone an outsider can compare to.

But their story will eventually come to an end.

Thinking of this, he seemed to regain some confidence: "Then I hope your dream comes true, otherwise, after these few months, you two will be over."

At this point, Xie Linyu curled his lips into a smile, then turned and left with Xiao Chen.

Fu Ciyan watched Xie Linyu's departing figure, and the smile on his face faded.

His eyes were swirling with emotion. It was true; he hadn't even tasted the meat yet, and someone was already eyeing it.

What could he say? The girl's charm was extraordinary.

But just thinking about Lu Yao's expression when she said she wanted to have his child, even if it was just a casual joke, could excite him.

And at that moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps having a child would truly bind him and Lu Yao together for life, making them inseparable forever.
