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

Xie Linyu's words made Lu Yao both amused and exasperated. She hadn't expected that her initial thought of him as merely handsome, and the fact that she had glanced at him a few more times, would lead him to interpret so much and deliberately pick a fight over it.

"Just because of that?" Lu Yao felt that this reason was rather childish.

"Isn't that enough?" Xie Linyu tightened his arms, pulling her closer into his embrace. His voice was muffled. "I'm a top star, but you... well, I later realized that you weren't ignoring me; you just never even considered that possibility."

"Later, I couldn't help but pay attention to you, wanting to get your attention, and gradually I couldn't let go." Xie Linyu lowered his head and gently rubbed his chin against the top of her head. "So, Yaoyao, don't feel like you're a burden to us. Being able to get close to you, to be seen by you, to be chosen by you, is already lucky enough for us."

As Lu Yao listened to his words, she knew that Xie Linyu, like Fu Ciyan, was trying to comfort her in his own way.

"I understand." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Fu Ciyan coming over with a coat in his hand.

Xie Linyu released his hand: "Go ahead, go for a walk, leave this to me."

Lu Yao did not refuse, but glanced back at him, smiled at him, and then walked towards Fu Ciyan. The man draped his coat over her shoulders and walked outside with her.

The two walked side by side on the tree-lined path. Fu Ciyan's hands were warm, and he completely enveloped Lu Yao's hands in his palms.

"Are you cold?" he asked in a low voice.

"I'm not cold." Lu Yao shook her head, turned to look at him, and smiled.

Fu Ciyan paused slightly, looking down at her: "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Yao shook her head: "It's nothing, I just feel that it's nice to take a walk like this."

"Mmm." Fu Ciyan responded, raised his hand to lift Lu Yao's chin, leaned over and kissed her lips, then looked up to meet the girl's surprised dark eyes, his smile deepening, and lowered his head to deepen the kiss.

The moment he saw Lu Yao today, he wanted to do just that.

The next day, not long after Lu Yao and Xie Linyu arrived at the film set, editor Qinghe rushed over, her face beaming with undisguised excitement and joy.

"Ms. Lu Yao! Great news!" Qinghe's eyes sparkled. "President Zhou just contacted me and said he's secured the overseas rights for 'Temptation of the Wife'! We're directly connecting with major platforms in several key star regions of foreign lands. This is Xingwen Entertainment's first truly significant work to open up the foreign market!"

Lu Yao was slightly taken aback: "A foreign race?"

This was the first time Lu Yao had heard this word since arriving here. Aliens?

"Yes, the sea people and the winged people, and most importantly, the beastmen. You know, the beastmen are the most conservative and never establish diplomatic relations with other races. After seeing the sample of 'Temptation of the Wife,' they were very willing and said that they were very happy that our human race had a screenwriter who could write a story about their beastmen."

As Qinghe, the editor, spoke, she gestured animatedly, "If the broadcast goes well, there will likely be more interaction with the orcs in the future, which will be a great thing for the Federation. President Zhou wants me to take you there to discuss the contract details. Do you have time now?"

Lu Yao nodded: "I'll let Director Wang know when I have time."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

After Lu Yao returned, she not only greeted Director Wang, but also told Xiao Chen that Xie Linyu was getting his makeup done and that she would have to ask Xiao Chen to pass on the message.

Soon, they arrived at Zhou Jinlu's office; this was Lu Yao's first time here.

The CEO's office was much larger than she had imagined, and the decor was more modern.

The man smiled warmly as they entered: "Ms. Lu Yao, Editor Qinghe, please have a seat."

"Mr. Zhou, I've already given Ms. Lu Yao a general overview on the way here," Qinghe said, taking out three copies of the drafted contract and distributing them to Zhou Jinlu and Lu Yao. "These are the contracts drafted by our legal department. Please take a look."

Lu Yao took the contract and began to read it carefully.

In addition to clarifying copyright fees, revenue sharing ratios, and scope of authorization, Lu Yao will also need to cooperate with online promotions during the broadcast period, and may have to accept interviews from foreign media and other activities.

"The terms are reasonable." Lu Yao put down the contract, looked up at Zhou Jinlu, and said frankly, "I have no objections."

Zhou Jinlu nodded slightly: "Then we'll proceed according to this contract. We'll leave the rest to Editor Qinghe to coordinate with them."

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhou. Rest assured, I will do my best to advance this matter. I'll be going now, Ms. Lu Yao. Please feel free to contact me anytime if there's anything."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work. This is what I should do, and I'm honored to serve Teacher Lu Yao." He said this not just as a polite remark, but because this achievement is something he can record on his resume in the future.

After watching Editor Qinghe leave, Lu Yao prepared to go back as well. However, just as she was about to speak, Zhou Jinlu said, "Miss Lu Yao, would you do me the honor of having lunch with us today?"

Lu Yao wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that Zhou Jinlu had just helped her accomplish such a big thing, and it was just a lunch. She couldn't refuse him, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhou."

A hint of pleasure flashed in Zhou Jinlu's eyes: "How have you been feeling lately?"

Knowing what Zhou Jinlu was asking, Lu Yao's cheeks flushed: "It's fine. Speaking of that day, I haven't properly thanked you yet."

"No need to be so polite. I'm doing my best to express my sincerity. Miss Lu Yao just needs to observe." The meaning behind these words was straightforward, and Lu Yao naturally understood.

"It is my honor to be valued by President Zhou, but I don't want to keep you hanging on for nothing. I can't agree to your request, and I don't want you to waste too much time on me. That would be unfair to you." When Lu Yao said this, she looked very cautious. She was clearly rejecting someone, but she seemed worried that the other person would be hurt. She was very reserved.

Zhou Jinlu looked at the gentle and harmless girl who even seemed to refuse others, and nodded with a smile: "I can understand. After all, we haven't spent much time together, and you don't know me very well. There's no rush, Miss Lu Yao. You don't need to be in such a hurry to refuse. Just keep an eye on things."

"I won't cause Miss Lu Yao any trouble. Let's just get along as we are now." Zhou Jinlu paused here, "But I heard that you accepted Xie Linyu. Are you getting along well with him?"

The topic suddenly shifted to Xie Linyu. Lu Yao nodded slightly embarrassed. Actually, she was a little confused. Since her relationship with Xie Linyu was not public, how did Zhou Jinlu know about it?

Zhou Jinlu seemed to see her confusion and explained with a light laugh, "Because I pay close attention to Miss Lu Yao, I always pay extra attention to any man who appears around her. I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just a little envious of him."
