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

This news, like a boulder thrown into deep water, quickly stirred up a huge wave across the interstellar network.

The Qin family's downfall happened faster than anyone imagined. From the news breaking to Councilor Qin Miao being detained, only a few hours passed.

Fu Ciyan's ruthless tactics were on full display at this moment.

Lu Yao turned off the news notifications, but she didn't feel much relief.

"Fu Ciyan, he..." she hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Worried that he'll make too many enemies?" Xie Linyu finished her sentence for her, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Since he dares to do it, he must have some confidence. And clearly, he's been wanting to do this for a while now. This kind of evidence can't be collected overnight."

In other words, Fu Ciyan had been collecting this evidence for at least several years, but it was only released now.

One has to admit, Fu Ciyan truly hates the Qin family!

Any one of these pieces of evidence would be enough to crush the Qin family, yet he managed to collect so much.

Are they afraid the Qin family isn't completely wiped out?

I had only heard that Fu Ciyan was ruthless and cold-blooded, but I had never actually met him, so I didn't really have any feelings about him.

This time, he truly experienced it firsthand. No wonder Zhou Jinlu was already thinking of forming an alliance with him before he had even conquered Lu Yao.

Countless thoughts flashed through Xie Linyu's mind in an instant, but he did not show them on his face.

Lu Yao nodded upon hearing this, feeling that Xie Linyu's words made a lot of sense.

Fu Ciyan's rise to become the Federation's youngest general was certainly not due to recklessness.

She should trust him.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now. Get some rest, and contact me anytime if you need anything." Lu Yao didn't say anything more, gave Xie Linyu a few words of advice, and then turned and left.

After watching her leave, Xie Linyu turned off the terminal screen. The next second, the door opened again, and Xie Lusheng entered.

The father and son locked eyes, and Xie Lusheng spoke first: "The one who just went out, is that the person you were willing to protect at all costs, Fu Ciyan's match?"

Although it was a question, Xie Lusheng had actually already investigated it and knew very well.

"Say what you want to say, don't be sarcastic."

"Hmph, I just don't understand. You'd rather ruin yourself than accept a match. What are you after? She's still in the matching process. If you like her, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You're not thinking of remaining chaste for her, are you?"

Xie Linyu raised his eyes, his usual lazy and playful gaze gone, replaced by barely concealed annoyance: "My affairs are none of your business!"

"You don't need me to care?" Xie Lusheng raised his voice, walked to the bedside, and looked down at him. "I'm your father! You've ruined yourself like this, and you won't let me care? Xie Linyu, look at yourself now! For a woman who already has a suitable match, you might even lose your basic ability to be a man! Is this what you want?"

"Yes," Xie Linyu answered decisively and without hesitation, "This is my own choice, and I will bear the consequences myself."

"Can you afford to take responsibility?" Xie Lu's forehead veins throbbed with anger. "S-grade genes! You had the best future! But you've wasted it like this. As the only heir of the Xie family, haven't you considered the Xie family at all?"

For families like theirs, offspring are always the most important thing.

Xie Linyu can refuse the marriage arrangement, but he can't be completely deprived of it. The elders in his family don't know about this yet, and if they did, who knows what would happen.

Xie Linyu seemed to have heard an absurd joke, a cold smile curving his lips: "Father, your so-called 'considering the Xie family' means making me, like you did back then, endlessly accept arranged marriages and then do everything in my power to give birth to me?"

"Otherwise, you know how difficult it is to conceive these days. I've already spoiled you by allowing you to refuse the traditional walking marriage match for so many years, but you can't really become useless!"

At this point, Xie Linyu's arrogance finally subsided somewhat.

On this point, he had to admit that his father was under a lot of pressure.

Unlike other families, the Xie family is more traditional.

Seeing that Xie Linyu had stopped speaking, Xie Lusheng softened his tone: "...So you still haven't reacted?"

I know what he meant by that.

Xie Linyu's expression tightened for a moment, then he shook his head: "After I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll go see a specialist. I won't let the Xie family line die out in my lifetime."

Anyway, he still has plenty of time to live, and besides, "Why don't you try harder? Maybe you can have another one, oh dear!"

Xie Lusheng finally lost his temper and slapped Xie Linyu on the shoulder.

Xie Linyu rubbed his hand painfully, but ultimately didn't say anything more to provoke Xie Lusheng.

When Lu Yao returned home, Fu Ciyan was not back, probably because of today's news; men are much busier than usual.

But I didn't forget to remind her to eat on the terminal.

Only then did she notice the food that had been prepared at some unknown time, still warming on the kitchen stove.

Lu Yao felt a warmth in her heart. Fu Ciyan was always like this. No matter how busy he was or what he was doing, he never neglected to take care of her.

After all, even when a man is away on a business trip, he can still manage to plan his time and prepare meals for her in advance.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

After serving the food, Lu Yao sat down at the table, took a picture, and sent it to Fu Ciyan: [It's delicious. You've worked hard. Are you working overtime tonight?]

After sending the message, Lu Yao didn't expect Fu Ciyan to reply immediately, but he didn't keep her waiting long. His reply came quickly: "[It'll be a little late today, don't wait for me, go to sleep first. I'll ask for leave from the mission.]"

Lu Yao stared at the message for a long time: 【Have you eaten?】

[Eat later, don't worry.]

Lu Yao thought to herself, "I'll eat this later, but I don't know when that will be."

She quickly finished her meal, found an insulated lunchbox, filled it with food, closed the lid, and prepared to deliver the meal to Fu Ciyan.

She delivered it to him personally; surely he should have a bite.

Board the hovercar and enter "First Military Region" as your destination on the navigation system.

The icy blue "aurora" pierced the night and sped toward the First Military Region.

The military district is even more solemn at night than during the day. Towering lighthouses illuminate the tarmac and training grounds, and occasionally soldiers in uniform march by in neat and uniform steps.

Following the navigation, Lu Yao parked her car in the square outside the First Military Region compound.

She got off the bus carrying a thermos, and the cool night breeze made her pull her coat tighter.

There were guards on duty at the gate. When they saw her, they immediately turned around and said, "Madam, please stop. This is a military area. You are not allowed to enter."

Lu Yao stopped upon hearing this: "I'm here to deliver some things to Fu Ciyan. Could you pass them on for me? I won't go in. By the way, please tell him to eat well."

The guards clearly hadn't expected that the woman in front of them had come to deliver food to their general.

You have to understand, in places like theirs, very few women are willing to come near, let alone bring food.

The guard looked bewildered at the insulated lunchbox that Lu Yao handed him, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.

"Um, please wait a moment, I'll contact my superior right away!"

The guards retreated several steps, not daring to touch the lunchbox in Lu Yao's hand, as if it were some sacred and inviolable treasure.
