Chapter 67 Will.
Grace had never felt it so clearly before. The little cub was so close to him that he could clearly feel the little cub's movements under his palm.
At that moment, he really felt like he was about to become a father.
This is the bond that connects him and Lu Xia. His and Lu Xia's blood flows in his body, and because of its existence, he and Lu Xia are closely connected.
It's magical and touching.
Grace knew very well that he was the only male who could have such an experience.
Lu Xia looked at the faintly red eyes of the man standing in front of her, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips: "What's wrong with you, Grace? Are you going to cry?"
Grace lowered her head and rested it on Lu Xia's shoulder again: "Don't laugh at me, Xia Xia, I just have never felt this way before. I feel an incomparable closeness between us. I'm so happy!"
Grace's words expressing her emotions surprised Lu Xia.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand. Although Grace has relatives, judging from the attitude of Duke Leslie towards him, he probably has never experienced what family love is from childhood to adulthood.
In fact, this is not just a problem of Grace alone, but a problem created by the entire imperial society. Most males are born lacking love.
Lu Xia softened his heart and raised his hand to gently touch Grace's hair: "Just be happy. When it comes out, you can teach it well. This is your duty as a male father."
"Okay." Grace held Lu Xia's hand, looked up at her, and kissed Lu Xia on the lips the next second. He now urgently wanted to feel Lu Xia's presence.
To prove that all this was not a dream he had imagined.
*
On the night of the celebratory dinner hosted by Duke Leslie for Grace, Lu Xia and Grace attended wearing dresses of the same color.
Duke Leslie, who had arranged for a waiter to greet them at the door early in the morning, greeted them with a smile when he saw them again. "You're finally here. Come with me backstage to get ready. You're the protagonists tonight, so you must be the last to arrive."
Lu Xia originally thought that Duke Leslie would hold a family dinner, but she didn't expect it to be so grand. "Did you invite Prince Li Mang as well?"
"Of course, for such a rare opportunity, she must be invited, but unfortunately, Madam Dana declined."
When Lu Xia heard that Mrs. Dana refused, he was not that surprised.
When they arrived at the lounge, Prince Li Mang was already there. Seeing Lu Xia coming over, he waved at her happily: "Come on, let's see what's different about me tonight."
"You're not wearing a wig today, are you?"
"Smart! I got hair extensions. The hair underneath is all my own. I couldn't wait for it to grow longer, so I just had it extended. How come it can't be seen, right?" Prince Li Mang touched his long hair lovingly, and he looked visibly happy.
Lu Xia was also very happy for her: "You can't tell at all, there's not even a trace of it being connected."
"But it took me a long time. Once my hair grows this long, I won't have to do this anymore." Prince Li Mang held Lu Xia's hand, her tone full of unspeakable joy. The more she looked at Lu Xia now, the more she liked him.
If it weren't for Lu Xia, she would still be worried about alopecia! "By the way, I heard that the people from the Gene Research Institute will also be here tonight, so you should be mentally prepared." When Prince Li Mang said this, he subconsciously looked at Duke Leslie.
Duke Leslie was stunned when he heard this. "The director of the Genetic Research Institute contacted me on his own initiative. I thought it was just an invitation for one more person, so I didn't refuse. What's wrong?"
Lu Xia didn't expect that after the Genetic Research Institute had contacted her and General Snoop of the First Military Region, they still didn't give up and went to find Duke Leslie.
"They are here for Grace's identity as a gene fusionist. Do you want Grace to participate in the voluntary research and devote everything?"
Lu Xia asked directly.
Duke Leslie blinked, not quite understanding why Lu Xia's attitude suddenly turned so cold: "Isn't this a good thing? This is a contribution to the empire. Besides, Grace is a soldier. Shouldn't he have such awareness?"
It was obvious that Duke Leslie had never considered the issue from Grace's perspective from the beginning.
Prince Li Mang beside her could not help but sigh. Even she could see how much Lu Xia cared about Grace. Duke Leslie
I can't even see what the problem is.
"What if these studies endanger Grace's health or even her life? Don't you care?"
Duke Leslie pursed her lips. She wanted to say, so what? Any research would have risks. Moreover, this was a contribution to the empire, so one should be prepared to sacrifice for the empire.
But her intuition told her that she couldn't say this. If she really said it, Lu Xia might really turn against her on the spot, although she didn't understand why Lu Xia would reject this matter.
In her opinion, this is a completely good thing.
"How could I not care? I just promised them to attend the dinner, and I didn't plan to promise them anything else." Obviously, when he said this, Duke Leslie's confidence was already very low.
Lu Xia looked at her and stated the facts, "You've never considered Grace. For the past twenty years, he's lived as a defective product. You've never cared about what he's endured. You've even manipulated him at will, becoming accustomed to it. But his status is different now. Not only is he unrelated to the Duke of Leslie's family, he's also an excellent gene fusionist. Please consider his feelings and wishes when dealing with issues in the future."
Lu Xia paused for a moment before continuing, "I thought you understood my intention in hosting tonight's celebratory dinner, but now it seems you've only ever considered the interests of your Leslie family. Of course, there's nothing wrong with you doing this, but even if you'd considered Grace a little more, you wouldn't have let someone from the Genetics Research Institute in. Honestly, Duke Leslie, I'm a little disappointed with your behavior today."
It can be said that Lu Xia’s last sentence was very serious.
Duke Leslie's face turned pale instantly.
She really didn't expect that Lu Xia would mind so much about people from the Genetic Research Institute appearing at the dinner party, but Lu Xia was right.
She really had never considered Grace's wishes. She just thought that it would be a good thing if she could establish a relationship with the Genetic Research Institute through this dinner.
Prince Li Mang spoke at the right moment: "Lu Xia is simply too concerned about Grace, which is why he's unwilling to deal with the people at the Genetic Research Institute. If you think carefully about what their purpose is, you'll know. But now that things have come to this, we can only find a way to resolve it."
"It's my fault. I really didn't think that much. They are still in the rest area. I asked people to keep an eye on them and definitely not let them ruin tonight's celebration."
