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

That night, Lu Yao did not appear again. After Xie Linyu finished watching the latest episode of "Temptation of Wife" in the living room, he saw Fu Ciyan come downstairs with his upper body naked and covered in ambiguous marks.

Upon seeing him, the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Still not resting?"

Xie Linyu's gaze swept over him. He knew very well that Fu Ciyan's appearance in front of him in this manner was to let him know who Lu Yao belonged to at this moment.

It must be admitted that this method is despicable, but very effective.

"General Fu, aren't we disregarding her wishes a bit?" Although Xie Linyu didn't go into much detail, he knew that Fu Ciyan would understand.

Sure enough, the next second, Fu Ciyan's smile deepened, as if he had been waiting for him to say this: "How do you know that Yaoyao didn't enjoy it?"

Xie Linyu's face darkened. He knew Fu Ciyan would say that. Just as he was about to retort, Fu Ciyan's smile vanished, and his attitude turned cold again: "Besides, you have no right to express your dissatisfaction. Isn't this exactly what you need right now?"

"What do you mean?" Xie Linyu didn't understand, but he had a gut feeling that Fu Ciyan's words wouldn't be anything nice.

Fu Ciyan's lips curled up again, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "Having seen and heard it, will your illness heal faster now?"

Xie Linyu instantly understood. Was this to help him "cure" his illness?

Xie Linyu's heart skipped a beat when he thought of Gu Jingxiao's suggestion, but it was completely different from what he had understood!

Seeing that Xie Linyu understood the meaning behind his words, Fu Ciyan said, "So if you've gained an advantage, don't act innocent."

After saying that, Fu Ciyan didn't linger and turned to go upstairs.

Xie Linyu's face, however, seemed to have been dyed, turning from red to white and then back to red.

No wonder Lu Yao got angry this morning when he asked her if she had such a fetish.

So that's why!

What the hell did Gu Jingxiao say to them after he left?

How could this be? Wasn't it said that only Lu Yao would be allowed to provide him with 'auxiliary treatment'?

What's with Fu Ciyan getting involved?!

Thinking this, Xie Linyu sent a voice message to Gu Jingxiao. It rang for a long time, and just when Xie Linyu thought the other party would not answer and was about to hang up, the call was finally connected.

Gu Jingxiao's voice came through: "Mr. Xie? Is there some emergency so late?"

Xie Linyu had no time for pleasantries and went straight to the point, his tone filled with barely suppressed anger as he questioned, "Dr. Gu, what exactly did you tell Lu Yao and Fu Ciyan? Why did the so-called 'auxiliary treatment' turn out like this?"

He deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting the two people upstairs to hear, but his chest was still heaving violently.

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the line, Gu Jingxiao's unhurried voice came through, even with a hint of amusement: "How is it now? What is it like? Mr. Xie, could you describe it in more detail? After all, the specific details of the treatment plan need to be constantly adjusted based on the patient's feedback."

His nonchalant and evasive attitude only fueled Xie Linyu's anger.

"Gu Jingxiao!" He practically spat out the name through gritted teeth. "Don't play dumb! You know what I'm talking about! Why did Fu Ci get involved in the banquet? Why would he... why would he 'provoke' me in that way? This is completely different from what you told me before!"

"Mr. Xie, have you misunderstood?" Gu Jingxiao's tone remained gentle, as if he was completely unaffected by Xie Linyu's attitude. "What I told you before was 'sensory stimulation-assisted therapy,' and the most effective stimulus is the object that the patient subconsciously craves."

"I didn't specify the method of implementation or the participants. As Ms. Lu Yao's legitimate match, it's reasonable for General Fu to lead the implementation, making it more acceptable to Ms. Lu Yao."

"Letting them stand in front of me... is that reasonable? Dr. Gu, are you treating my illness or helping Fu Ciyan humiliate me?"

"Mr. Xie, please calm down." Gu Jingxiao's tone was somewhat reassuring. "You should know your true condition. If you are very resistant, you can recover your health now, can't you? You called me here to say these things, what do you want me to do? You don't want me to go and talk to Miss Lu Yao."

"Have her provide 'sensory stimulation' exclusively for you, even including more direct contact, such as holding hands, hugging, or something more intimate..." Gu Jingxiao paused at just the right moment, a hint of mockery in his tone, "Is that what you wish for, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Linyu's heart skipped a beat. Gu Jingxiao's words had exposed the deepest, most hidden expectations in his heart that he himself dared not fully confront.

He certainly hopes so.

He hoped that Lu Yao would have eyes for him, and that she could treat him the same way she treated Fu Ciyan. He could even do better than Fu Ciyan!

Although Gu Jingxiao's words were straightforward, they also completely opened up a hidden part of his heart.

"If you can do that, then I'll feel that the 5 million was well spent. But as it is now, Dr. Gu has fallen short of his standards."

Gu Jingxiao wasn't angered by Xie Linyu's sarcasm. He chuckled, "Mr. Xie is really shameless. They're still in the matching period, and you're already so eager to climb the social ladder. Won't this damage your reputation in the public eye?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me if you can do it or not." What does it matter if I'm a mistress for Lu Yao'ai as long as I can get her?

Gu Jingxiao was silent for a moment on the other end of the line. When he spoke again, the nonchalant tone in his voice had faded a bit: "Mr. Xie, I understand your eagerness, but everything needs to be done step by step. You should be more patient. Based on my limited understanding of Miss Lu Yao, she is not a woman who can be very open about this kind of thing. Accepting you will probably require more time and effort."

"But a woman like her, once she accepts you, should treat you sincerely. Don't you want that sincerity, or are you just seeking momentary pleasure?"

Xie Linyu's breathing became heavier. He knew that Gu Jingxiao was right, but the suffocating fire in his chest burned even more fiercely.

"So I can only passively listen and watch? Let Fu Ciyan 'treat' me in this way, and incidentally assert his dominance?"

"...You must have time to spend alone with Miss Lu Yao, right? As far as I know, you two actually interact quite a lot. You're not working in the same film crew, so why don't you make use of that time, Mr. Xie? You don't expect me to teach you how to woo someone, do you?"

"Of course not..."

"That's good. I also believe that with Mr. Xie's abilities, I don't need to intervene much. But please rest assured, it will take at most a week. After a week, I will find a way to change your 'adjunctive therapy' plan."

"You better keep your word!" Xie Linyu said, then cut off the communication.

The next day, when Lu Yao and Xie Linyu arrived on set, Director Wang immediately waved to them: "You're here! Did you see the briefing? Our 'Temptation of a Wife' is trending, and it's still at number one on the popularity chart. As long as we keep it up, our drama will be a huge hit!"

It was rare to see the usually calm and serious Director Wang so excited. On her way here, Lu Yao had already checked the data and was very satisfied with the result, even more satisfied than expected.

"This is all thanks to everyone's hard work."

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to everyone's hard work!" Director Wang smiled broadly, then turned to Xie Linyu with concern, "Linyu, how's your recovery going? The next challenge is quite intense, are you physically up to it? Don't push yourself too hard."

Xie Linyu smiled politely: "Thank you for your concern, Director Wang. I'm much better now and there won't be any problems with filming."

As they were talking, Su Qian leaned over and said, "Sister Lu Yao, let me tell you, so many people have been handing me notebooks these past few days, I can hardly keep up with them all!"

Clearly, the popularity of "Temptation of Wife" has greatly increased Su Qian's fame.

Lu Yao wasn't surprised by the result and was happy for Su Qian: "Good, choose carefully, don't rush."

Director Wang nodded in agreement, "Listen to Ms. Lu Yao, don't rush to choose. Our 'Temptation of the Wife' is just the beginning. There will definitely be better scripts waiting for you later. Be more composed."

"Yes, I know. I will work hard and live up to everyone's expectations." After Su Qian finished speaking, she looked at Xie Linyu and said, "Brother Xie, are you feeling better? I was going to visit you, but I was afraid of causing trouble, so I haven't gone yet."

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine," Xie Linyu said simply. "I'm going to put on my makeup."

After saying this, he turned and left with Xiao Chen.

After he walked away, Su Qian leaned close to Lu Yao and whispered, "Sister Lu Yao, Brother Xie doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Is something on his mind?"

Lu Yao thought that Xie Linyu's emotional stability was already quite remarkable given his current situation.

"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't affect his work."

"Of course I know, Brother Xie is very professional, and I also went to prepare for Sister Lu Yao."

"Go ahead." After Su Qian left, Lu Yao decided to check on Xie Linyu. Arriving at his dressing room, Xiao Chen saw her enter and immediately greeted her with a smile, "Teacher Lu Yao, you're here!"

Xie Linyu, who had been having his eyes closed while the makeup artist did his makeup, opened them upon hearing this. He met Lu Yao's clearly concerned gaze, and his heart warmed: "Why are you here? Is there something you want to say?"

"No, I just came to check on you. Are you feeling unwell? You seem to be in a bad mood today?" Lu Yao sat down on the chair next to him.

Xie Linyu pursed his lips, then gestured for the makeup artist and Xiao Chen to leave first.

When only the two of them remained in the dressing room, Xie Linyu rubbed his temples and said, "I was just wondering if I'll always be like this."

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat. Had Xie Linyu only just realized that this was a possibility?

"You're still in the treatment phase, you..."

"But I really didn't react at all, Lu Yao. I suddenly regret confessing to you. What right do I have to say those things to you? Besides disturbing your peace of mind, I can't do anything and it's very irresponsible of me. I..."
