The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

When Lu Yao returned to the film set, the morning's scenes had already been filmed. Xie Linyu saw her return and handed her a hot drink: "What did Qin Shu want from you just now? Was it about Fu Ciyan?"

"You know about this too?" Lu Yao took the milk tea he offered, took a sip, and put it aside. She asked with some curiosity if everyone in their circle knew about Fu Ciyan and Qin Shu's affair.

Sure enough, Xie Linyu's next sentence was: "It's not a secret."

Lu Yao shrugged, picked up her milk tea, and took another sip. The warm, sweet liquid slid down her throat, bringing a soothing sensation. "Hmm, they gave me a card to leave Fu Ciyan."

Xie Linyu raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his beautiful blue eyes: "How much?"

"Ten million."

Xie Linyu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, his laughter filled with mockery: "Ten million? Is Qin Shu trying to fob me off like a beggar, or is he underestimating Fu Ciyan too much?"

He leaned closer, lowered his voice, and asked with a hint of mockery, "If she pays the right amount, will you end your matchmaking with Fu Ciyan early?"

These words were half true and half false, spoken in Xie Linyu's usual teasing tone, but deep within his blue eyes, a serious expression also surfaced.

"No." Lu Yao replied with absolute certainty, without the slightest hesitation. Just as Xie Linyu was surprised by this, Lu Yao continued, "He's not an object that can be traded easily. Money can't measure his value. Unless it's his wish to separate early, I won't end this relationship for money."

Lu Yao spoke these words with unwavering resolve, her clear eyes showing no hesitation.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the makeshift sunshade erected on set, casting a soft, determined light in her eyes.

The mockery and probing on Xie Linyu's face receded like the tide, replaced by a complex sense of bewilderment.

He looked at her, and those blue eyes, which always carried a hint of aloofness and amusement, now clearly reflected her image. For a moment, he truly envied Fu Ciyan.

Why is he so lucky? He can just randomly get matched with such a good partner!

Isn't this cherished treatment exactly what he wants but can't have?

Suddenly noticing Xie Linyu's silence, Lu Yao instinctively looked over and saw him staring at her blankly. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

As she spoke, she reached up and wiped her face, but there was nothing there.

Xie Linyu smiled and curled his lips: "No, I just didn't expect you to think that way. General Fu is really lucky to be matched with someone like you. It seems you really like him?"

"Isn't this the kind of respect people should have? Even if the person wasn't Fu Ciyan, I wouldn't use money to make a deal with someone else. What kind of person would I be if I did that?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Linyu felt strangely better.

That's good. It seems that this "respect" is not exclusive to Fu Ciyan.

Does that mean he will also have a chance?

"Speaking of which, how long have you been paired with General Fu?" Xie Linyu asked, seemingly casually.

"It's been almost a month." Lu Yao didn't hide anything, after all, it wasn't a secret. "What's wrong? Are you thinking about matching too? If you meet a suitable person, there's nothing wrong with giving it a try. People always have to look forward."

Xie Linyu looked at her, and he could sense that Lu Yao was comforting him.

"Let's wait a bit longer," Xie Linyu said with a smile, giving an ambiguous answer.

Without saying much, Director Wang had already called for filming to continue.

Lu Yao followed Xie Linyu out of the sunshade. Xie Linyu walked to the filming location, while she sat down next to Director Wang.

Seeing her come over, Director Wang smiled and said to her, "Su Qian is in good condition today. There were almost no NGs in the morning. If this pace continues, the first ten episodes should be filmed soon. Then we can rush to finish the editing and release it ahead of schedule."

Yes, in this world, movies and TV series are released in 10-episode series, with filming taking place as they air.

Just then, a crew member came over to Lu Yao and said, "Ms. Lu Yao, someone is looking for you outside."

Lu Yao was taken aback. Who could it be? Were there a lot of people looking for her today?

Upon arriving, they saw Fu Ciyan, who had rushed over, looking travel-worn.

Lu Yao was somewhat surprised: "Why did he come at this time? He seems quite anxious. What happened? Why did you come?"

"Qin Shu came to see you, but she didn't say or do anything to you, did she?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao laughed: "You know? She just came to see me, but it's okay, I've already taken care of it. How did you know?"

Not long after it happened, news came from Fu Ciyan's side.

"My father sent me a message saying that Qin Shu is coming to see you. It's good that you're alright. What did she say?" He clearly still wanted to know what had happened.

"I didn't say anything, I just thought you were only worth ten million and wanted to pay me off." Lu Yao's tone was relaxed, even a little teasing, trying to ease Fu Ciyan's tense expression. "But how can ten million be enough? The penalty for immediately terminating the match is 8000 million. This amount isn't even enough for me to pay the penalty, so of course I refused!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Ciyan's expression tensed up: "What if the money she offers is enough to cover the breach of contract penalty?"

Lu Yao stroked her chin thoughtfully, "I did tell her that this amount wasn't enough, and asked her to add more to the 8000 million, but she seemed unwilling, so we couldn't reach an agreement. Fu Ciyan, you don't seem to be doing so well either; she offered far too little!"

Fu Ciyan looked down at her, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly as he restrained himself: "So if she really gives it to you, you'll agree to terminate the matching immediately?"

Lu Yao stared at his increasingly serious expression and finally couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek: "No, I don't think money can be used to trade things like this. You are a person, not an object that can be treated casually, so I won't do it for any amount of money, unless you want to terminate our matchmaking."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ciyan reached out and pulled Lu Yao into his arms, seemingly finally at ease: "Remember what you said, Lu Yao. I don't agree to terminate the matchmaking, and you can't give up prematurely. If you need money, I can give it to you, but you absolutely cannot abandon me because of money!"

Fu Ciyan's arms tightened, holding Lu Yao firmly in his embrace, with such force that it seemed he wanted to embed her into his very bones.

He buried his face in the crook of her shoulder, his breathing becoming heavy.

Lu Yao was struggling to breathe because of his tightness, but she could clearly feel his heart beating rapidly and powerfully through the fabric of his clothes.

She didn't struggle; instead, she relaxed her body, leaning against him dependently. She raised her hand and gently wrapped it around his waist, pressing her palm against his firm back muscles, soothing him gently.

"Okay, okay," her voice muffled against his chest, tinged with a helpless laugh, "but remember, I've lost a lot of money because of you!"

Even if 1000 million isn't enough to cover the penalty for breach of contract, it's still a considerable sum!

"I'll pay you back. How much do you need?"
