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

Lu Yao's eyes widened suddenly, her cheeks instantly turning bright red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, both embarrassed and angry: "Xie Linyu! What nonsense are you talking about! I don't have that kind of hobby!"

She subconsciously raised her voice, trying to cover up her panic and embarrassment.

Xie Linyu was amused by her exasperated yet bluffing demeanor. His smile deepened, and instead of backing away, he moved closer, almost touching her reddened earlobe, and lowered his voice: "No? Then why didn't Fu Ciyan close the door last night? I saw it clearly, Miss Lu Yao, her calls were very sweet."

Although he spoke the last few words in a breathy voice, they still carried a hint of malice and mockery.

Lu Yao instantly felt put on the defensive!

How should she explain that she did this to cooperate with his treatment?

He still remembered Gu Jingxiao's words, telling them to keep it a secret from Xie Linyu, saying that telling Xie Linyu would hurt his self-esteem.

But now, Xie Linyu has clearly misunderstood her!

Xie Linyu looked at her, both ashamed and angry, with a hint of red in her eyes, as if she was about to cry. The mischievous teasing feeling in his heart was suddenly replaced by a soft and bittersweet emotion.

He stepped back a little, his tone softening: "Alright, I was just teasing you. I know Fu Ciyan did it on purpose, so I don't blame you. But you can't just let him do whatever he wants, Lu Yao. You need to learn to take control."

Lu Yao bit her lower lip, raised her eyes to glare at him, her dark eyes, damp with moisture, were surprisingly bright, but now filled with shame and indignation: "This joke is not funny at all, Xie Linyu, don't do this again, I don't like it."

Seeing that she seemed genuinely angry, Xie Linyu immediately dropped his joking expression: "I'm sorry, I offended you. I was just... very jealous..."

At this point, Xie Linyu suddenly lowered his eyes, and a look of restraint and forbearance appeared on his face.

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat. Xie Linyu said he was jealous? Jealous of what?

Is it because he's jealous of her relationship with Fu Ciyan?

What about him?

"What are you doing?" Fu Ciyan, who had already showered and changed his clothes, swept his dark eyes over the two of them sharply.

The moment she saw him appear, Lu Yao felt as if she had found her pillar of support. She turned to greet him, easing the awkward atmosphere between her and Xie Linyu: "It's nothing. What are you planning to do?"

Fu Ciyan clearly sensed that Lu Yao's mood was a bit off, and glanced at Xie Linyu, who had already turned around: "Is there anything you want to eat? If not, I'll cook you some wontons. I made some earlier, and they're in the refrigerator. I can take them out and cook them now."

Lu Yao nodded and followed Fu Ciyan into the kitchen.

Once out of Xie Linyu's sight, Lu Yao breathed a slight sigh of relief. She was already somewhat regretful for agreeing to let Xie Linyu come to her home, and even more regretful for agreeing to Gu Jingxiao's treatment plan.

Because she vaguely realized that Xie Linyu's feelings for her seemed to be more than just friendship.

Fu Ciyan took out some wontons from the refrigerator and asked in a low voice, "What did Xie Linyu say to you that made you so absent-minded?"

Suddenly struck by a revelation, Lu Yao's heart tightened, and she instinctively met the man's dark eyes: "Yes, is that so?"

Fu Ciyan smiled and nodded: "Yes, your emotions are written all over your face. But if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But if he makes you unhappy, I can ask him to leave. As for making it up to him, I'll do it. Don't feel guilty, Yaoyao. I've said it before, don't wrong yourself."

Fu Ciyan always has a reassuring charm, which may be related to his profession. In critical moments, he always seems particularly reliable.

Lu Yao couldn't help but lean slightly against him: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just... I feel like... does he like me?"

Fu Ciyan paused for a moment, looking down in surprise at Lu Yao, whose eyes were filled with panic and trepidation.

"You just realized that?" Fu Ciyan resumed his actions, seemingly unsurprised by Lu Yao's words.

His reaction gave Lu Yao the feeling that Fu Ciyan already knew all along.

Fu Ciyan looked at her, her eyes wide with fright, like a kitten.

He had always known that Lu Yao was very oblivious when it came to matters of the heart; she wouldn't even consider it unless it was explicitly stated.

They were completely unaware of their own charm.

Lu Yao possesses a clean and simple temperament, lacking the spoiled and willful nature of most women in the Federation, as well as their contempt for men and their unlimited demands.

She is clear-headed and independent, with her own bottom line and principles. He knows very well that even without relying on any of them, Lu Yao can still live a good life.

The only downside is that she's a bit soft-hearted.

"Don't think of this as something difficult. It's his business if he likes someone. Don't let him affect your emotions, Yaoyao. My attitude is that if you like him, you can get to know him and even accept him, but if you don't like him, you still shouldn't force yourself."

Although he longed to possess Lu Yao exclusively and was unwilling to share her with anyone, he was well aware that this was merely his own desire.

He shouldn't restrict Lu Yao's choices.

Lu Yao has the right to enjoy everything.

As for his emotions, he can process them on his own.

Lu Yao looked up and met Fu Ciyan's serious dark eyes, knowing very well that the man was serious.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time she'd heard Fu Ciyan say this. The last time Zhou Jinlu tried to get a 'number plate' from her, Fu Ciyan had said the same thing.

"Are you really not bothered?" Even though she knew that this kind of thing was very common in this world, even the most ordinary thing, for Lu Yao, a transmigrator, it was something she had only fantasized about when writing novels. In reality, she had never even been in a relationship. Suddenly being given such a strong "drug" made her panic terribly.

On the one hand, there is a sense of eagerness and secret anticipation for the unknown, and on the other hand, there is a sense of anxiety and unease about whether or not one should do this.

In short, she was conflicted for a while.

"It's impossible for me not to mind, but that's my own business. You don't need to pay for my feelings, Yaoyao. Besides, we're still in the matching period. Even if he gets ahead, he can't surpass me. What do I have to mind?" Fu Ciyan finished speaking and kissed her forehead. "So you can choose according to your heart."

Lu Yao leaned against him and nodded gently: "I will think about it carefully."

She didn't say whether she would accept Xie Linyu because she was still conflicted and didn't have a good answer until they "reached an agreement".

The wontons smelled delicious when they were cooked, instantly diverting Lu Yao's attention.

Xie Linyu had also arrived at the restaurant at some point, leaning against the door frame and watching the two people whispering to each other in the kitchen.

Under the warm yellow light, the cozy atmosphere seemed unbreakable.

His eyes darkened. "Do you need my help?"

Seeing the two of them subconsciously turn around and look at him, the warm atmosphere was instantly broken, and Xie Linyu's lips curled up slightly.
