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

Lu Yao's body trembled slightly.

Fu Ciyan's kisses were light, but when they landed on those marks, they revealed an undeniable possessiveness.

Her throat felt dry, and her fingertips unconsciously tightened around his shirt.

Fu Ciyan raised his head, his dark eyes fixed on her: "Nervous?"

"No." Lu Yao shook her head, her voice a little hoarse.

Fu Ciyan ran his fingertips over the red marks, his eyes deep and unfathomable. Of course he minded, minded to the point of feeling a tightness in his chest, but reason told him that this was Lu Yao's own choice, and it was the respect he had promised.

"Next time..." His Adam's apple bobbed, his voice low and hoarse, "Next time, tell him to be more careful and not leave any traces."

Lu Yao blushed even more and nodded gently.

Fu Ciyan took a deep breath, reached out and patted her head, then let her go: "Go take a shower, I'll wait for you downstairs."

After saying that, Fu Ciyan didn't linger and turned to leave the room.

It was as if he had followed her in just to say this.

The atmosphere at dinner was somewhat awkward.

Xie Linyu clearly sensed that Fu Ciyan's gaze towards him was similar to the one he had seen when he looked at Xiao Chen earlier that day—a sinister look.

He looked up and met Fu Ciyan's gaze with composure.

The two men stared at each other silently for a few seconds before looking away.

Lu Yao sat between the two, eating her meal in small bites, unaware that something was amiss at the table.

"I saw the video of your interview today." Fu Ciyan ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Lu Yao.

Lu Yao looked up at him, somewhat surprised: "How did you see it? Has it already aired?"

She remembered Lin Hui saying that it would be broadcast at the earliest next week, and at the same time, "Temptation of Wife" officially started airing on the Federal Center Channel.

Xie Linyu looked up at Fu Ciyan, his intuition telling him that Fu Ciyan must have a purpose in choosing this time to bring up this matter in front of him.

"The only message your producer, He, sent me was about me," Fu Ciyan said, opening his terminal. Soon, Lu Yao's voice came from the screen: "...Actually, when we first met, I thought he was quite fierce, and he didn't seem easy to get along with..."

"...But not long after they got together, he broke it himself..."

"...What surprised me the most was his exceptional culinary skills, so good that he could open a restaurant and be a head chef."

Lu Yao's face instantly turned red. When she said it, she didn't feel anything; she was just expressing her truest feelings.

However, when another person involved in the conversation played it to her, she instantly felt ashamed.

It was picked by my toes.

Xie Linyu's eyes darkened, and his hands under the table unconsciously clenched.

He forced a smile and said, "Well said. General Fu is indeed a skilled cook."

Fu Ciyan glanced at him and turned off the terminal: "Producer He, you're very thoughtful. This gift really makes me very happy, but..."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Lu Yao, "So, in your heart, I'm this fierce?"

Lu Yao blushed as she looked at him: "Have you forgotten what you were like when we first met?"

Fu Ciyan smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten. How about now?"

He leaned slightly forward, his eyes focused and intense.

Lu Yao felt embarrassed by his gaze, but still honestly said, "It's fine now."

Xie Linyu's Adam's apple bobbed. He picked up his water glass, took a big gulp, and put down his chopsticks. "You guys eat slowly, I'm done."

After saying that, he got up and left.

Only Fu Ciyan and Lu Yao remained in the restaurant.

Fu Ciyan watched Xie Linyu's departing figure, his eyes darkening slightly before he looked away and continued to eat slowly and deliberately.

Lu Yao bit her lower lip and asked softly, "Did you do that on purpose?"

Fu Ciyan looked up: "What do you mean, 'deliberately'?"

"I deliberately played that video for Xie Linyu."

Fu Ciyan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "If I don't broadcast it now, he'll hear it after it airs, won't he?"

"Besides, didn't he deliberately leave marks on you first so I could see them?"

Lu Yao's eyes widened involuntarily. She hadn't even considered this possibility, how could it be...?

Fu Ciyan saw what she wanted to say and said with a smile, "We will handle our own affairs. Yaoyao just needs to watch."

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely understood the meaning behind Fu Ciyan's words.

The rivalry between these two men is a way for them to compete for their place in her heart.

"But..." Before she could say anything more, Fu Ciyan had already stood up.

"Are you full? If you are, I'll go for a walk with you?" He spoke casually, clearly not wanting to discuss this topic with her.

She met his gaze for a few seconds, finally nodding in resignation, but still couldn't help saying, "I don't want you to... because of me..."

"It is because of you that he and I are able to live under the same roof, but that does not mean we are unhappy, not joyful, or not satisfied. So Yaoyao, as I said before, don't think about us. Live and do things according to your own wishes. Your happiness is the most important thing."

Fu Ciyan reached out and gently pinched Lu Yao's soft little face. "Xie Linyu was already prepared."

Lu Yao recalled that Xie Linyu had said the same thing to her in the restroom stall earlier that day.

She finally gave in: "Okay, I understand."

"Okay, I'll go get a coat, it's a bit chilly at night." Fu Ciyan said, turning to go upstairs. Lu Yao got up and took the tableware back to the kitchen. Xie Linyu leaned in from behind and hugged her. "I'll clean up, don't do it, it's dirty."

He said this and they intertwined their fingers.

Lu Yao leaned against Xie Linyu's chest, enjoying the refreshing scent of his shower gel.

"What am I like in your heart?" Xie Linyu's voice was very soft, whispering close to her ear.

Lu Yao was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised that he would ask this. She turned her head to meet his deep blue eyes: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Fu Ciyan has interview clips, but I don't." He pitifully rested his chin on her shoulder, like a wronged big dog. "I want to know, what kind of person am I in your heart?"

The warm yellow light fell into his eyes, and Lu Yao saw her own reflection in that deep space.

Lu Yao recalled carefully: "The first time we met was in the Xingwen Entertainment conference room. I thought you were very beautiful. Then, when you were picking on me, I felt that it was a waste of your face to have such a mouth. Later, I found out that you are a pretty good person. You can instinctively save people in times of crisis, so your character can't be too bad."

"...Do you know why I picked on you back then?"

Lu Yao turned around, looking up at him curiously. She really wanted to know the answer to this question: "Why?"

"Because the way you looked at me back then was different from the way you looked at everyone else." Xie Linyu curled his lips and continued, "Although there was amazement in your eyes, it was too calm, as if you were just an ordinary person you could see anywhere on the street, completely unable to get your attention or importance, which made me very unwilling and eager to see different emotions in your eyes."
