Fu Xuan nodded, then closed his eyes and gently leaned against her.

Yu Chen smiled, and following her wishes, he also stepped forward to meet her.

The distance became negative...

...

"I didn't brush my teeth just now..."

Fu Xuan suddenly said that she had already finished washing up and felt refreshed. But just now…

"You took the initiative, so don't blame me!"

Yu Chen snorted, completely unconcerned about that; rather, it was more like...

He prefers the original flavor.

"I didn't mean to blame you..."

Fu Xuan hummed softly, squinted, and leaned back.

Yu Chen caught her steadily and skillfully placed his hands on her lower abdomen, gently massaging it.

"Eat breakfast first, then I'll brew the medicine. It's better to take it at intervals."

"Um…"

He strolled leisurely to the office; the weekend was over, and it was time for another workday.

Fu Xuan felt that he was getting lazy, which must have been because of the guy next to him!

Yesterday, after being stressed out by him, I finally agreed to relax for a few days and not to overwork myself...

They even pushed back "some affairs of a certain general that had been seized".

This guy actually called Jingyuan while blocking her view, he has absolutely no trust in her!

Would the Grand Diviner possibly go back on his word?

but…

She hadn't expected that Jing Yuan would actually get a scolding...

However, she was clearly even more idle than Jingyuan, so how could she have the nerve to use the phrase "not doing proper work" to criticize her good brother?

It's really fortunate that these two have a really good relationship, otherwise...

Having served as a diviner for so many years, she had never seen a general of the Immortal Ship be so easily rebuked, yet remain completely subdued...

Good morning, Your Excellency.

Suddenly, a clear sound rang out, startling Fu Xuan so much that he trembled.

She quickly snapped out of her daze and looked at Xingxuan, who had been waiting for her in the office for who knows how long. She silently released one of Yuchen's arms, which was tightly holding her, leaving only her small hand still being held by him.

"Cough... Xingxuan, how long have you been here?"

Fu Xuan coughed lightly and glanced casually at the wall clock.

Goodness... they've been dawdling for way beyond the usual weekday working hours.

If it were a junior fortune teller, he would probably be scolded by his superiors now, right?

Fortunately, she was the head of the Apostolic Bureau, and no one above her could control her, but...

Having been a diviner for so long, this is the first time I've ever been "late," and I feel a little guilty.

Chapter 97: You Have to Spit It Out

"It wasn't long. When I first arrived, I saw Yuchen making breakfast for you. He told me not to disturb your sleep..."

Then I'll handle the tasks that can be processed for you. These are some documents that require your personal approval; please take a look.

Xingxuan stepped aside. On Fu Xuan's desk were neatly categorized files, and her words were so reliable they made one feel indebted…

Fu Xuan coughed lightly, broke free from Yu Chen's hand, and calmly walked to his seat and sat down.

She glanced at the documents on the table, then at Xingxuan who was waiting quietly, her expression somewhat complicated.

Yu Chen hummed and leaned closer to her, then strolled out to pour himself a cup of tea.

Fu Xuan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It was truly her good fortune to have Xing Xuan.

The Grand Diviner was genuinely pleased to have such a reliable subordinate.

"Xingxuan, how about we raise your salary a bit, and give you more time off so you can spend more time with Yanqing?"

Xingxuan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but smile slightly. Of course, more salary increases are always welcome!

"Your Excellency, it's your decision. I will work even harder!"

"You've really tried your best..."

...

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you."

Xingxuan accepted the tea that Yuchen brought her, took a small sip, and then raised her eyebrows slightly, surprised that she had actually made some progress.

Yu Chen didn't care at all what she was thinking, and instead wandered over to Fu Xuan and sat down next to her.

"... "

Fu Xuan subconsciously took the cup and took a sip; it tasted sweet, not like tea.

She pursed her lips and glanced at Yu Chen with a hint of helplessness.

"If it's not tea, fine, but at least throw in a couple of chrysanthemums..."

"I'll remember that, I'll definitely do it next time!"

Yu Chen readily agreed, and then suddenly noticed a bag of longan that had appeared on the table.

He looked at Xingxuan, "Xingxuan, you brought this?"

"Hmm, although it's not very useful, it should be able to replenish some qi and blood. It's a fruit that the Grand Diviner can eat these days."

Xingxuan nodded. Last night, the Grand Diviner had complained to her about some unknown sword saint who had dragged her to see a doctor before dawn...

Moreover, it was that kind of "illness." Although her tone sounded like a complaint, the sweetness in her words was something that made her incredibly envious, to the point that a certain young swordsman next to her suffered a bit.

Although Fu Xuan only mentioned it casually, she remembered that Tai Bu had been unwell these past few days, so she specially brought some fruit that was safe to eat during menstruation today…

It's not that she's scheming; as the Grand Diviner's absolute confidante, her position in the Grand Diviner's office no longer requires her to use such methods to please him and solidify her position.

Although they maintained a hierarchical title, their actual relationship was much closer than it appeared.

This was simply out of concern for Fu Xuan, his friend.

"Oh, thank you!"

The swordsman, whose brain structure was extremely simple, didn't think much of it and thanked Xingxuan earnestly.

"where."

Xingxuan smiled and shook her head.

Fu Xuan glanced at the bag of fruit, his gaze towards Xing Xuan softening further.

With such a good subordinate, who else should she give a raise to?

Are you suggesting I give it to the person next to me?

Yu Chen grabbed a handful of fruit and placed it in front of him. He peeled one and then brought it to Fu Xuan's lips, gently touching her small mouth.

"... "

Fu Xuan silently swallowed the food, but his hand remained in front of her mouth.

Her eyes trembled slightly, her face flushed, and she held a seed in her mouth, torn between spitting it out or not.

Watching their sweet interaction, Xingxuan gave Fu Xuan a knowing smile, then winked playfully and said, "Then I won't disturb your deep conversation with the Sword Saint, Lord Taibu~"

Her eyes gleamed with a teasing light, and she deliberately covered her mouth, letting out a soft laugh, before leisurely swaying her voluptuous body as she slipped away.

Fu Xuan's face grew even redder. This guy dared to be so presumptuous because she couldn't speak right now, huh!

Wages aren't going up!

"Don't swallow the seeds..."

Yu Chen blinked and looked at her, but after waiting for a long time, all he saw was a little face that gradually turned red, and he didn't see any seeds spit out.

Fu Xuan glared at him, but ultimately spat out the black seed with embarrassment.

The warm black seeds landed in my palm, slightly damp.

Yu Chen tore off a piece of paper and placed it on top, intending to throw it away later.

Seeing Fu Xuan looking at him, he immediately peeled another one and handed it to him. Then he continued on.

Fu Xuan finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a fruit in her mouth, she said shyly and reproachfully:

"I can do it myself! Do you think I'm some kind of quadriplegic cripple?"
