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

After seeing Li Muyan off, Lu Yao turned and returned to the living room.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the entire living room in a warm hue.

Fu Ciyan had already picked up the documents and was ready to leave.

Lu Yao was slightly taken aback upon seeing this: "You still have to go to work?"

Fu Ciyan reached out and hugged her: "I still have some work to take care of. I'll come back to keep you company later. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

As he spoke, he turned around and gave Xie Linyu a look.

Xie Linyu nodded knowingly, without saying anything. After exchanging a glance, Fu Ciyan kissed Lu Yao's forehead and turned to leave.

Lu Yao then realized that his return to retrieve his belongings was not just talk.

Watching Fu Ciyan leave, Xie Linyu hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder: "Don't look at him, look at me, Yaoyao."

Lu Yao was amused by his slightly coquettish tone and turned her head slightly to look at him.

Xie Linyu's blue eyes were filled with laughter and a hint of undisguised anticipation, like a big puppy waiting to be petted.

"It's up to you." Lu Yao's eyes crinkled into a smile. "And then?"

Xie Linyu chuckled and pulled her closer: "Then, stay with me for a while? Just the two of us."

He spoke with a hint of cautious probing.

Although he had reached a certain balance with Fu Ciyan, he didn't have many opportunities to be alone with Lu Yao like this.

Lu Yao turned around to face him, and cupped his face in her hands: "Okay, just the two of us."

Xie Linyu's eyes lit up instantly, and he lowered his head to give her a light peck on the lips.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on the two of them.

Xie Linyu led her to the sofa and made her sit down. He then sat down next to her, his arm casually draped over the back of the sofa behind her, his posture both languid and possessive.

"What do you want to do?" Lu Yao asked him.

"Just stay here," Xie Linyu said, looking at her with tenderness in his eyes. "I want to talk to you."

"What do you want to say?" Lu Yao was drawn to his deep blue eyes, and her voice unconsciously softened.

Xie Linyu didn't speak, but stared intently at her. The distance between them gradually closed, their breaths mingling. Lu Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't look away.

Xie Linyu's lips landed on hers; the kiss was not urgent, but rather tender and lingering.

This made Lu Yao feel cherished and treated.

Lu Yao's heart raced as he kissed her, and her hands unconsciously clutched at the front of his shirt.

Sunlight streamed across them, casting their shadows onto the sofa, where they overlapped.

After a long while, Xie Linyu stepped back slightly, his forehead touching hers, his breathing becoming a little erratic.

"Yaoyao," he called her in a hoarse voice, his voice filled with suppressed emotion.

"Hmm?" Lu Yao opened her eyes and met his blue eyes, which were so close to hers, looking at the turbulent waves in his eyes.

Xie Linyu didn't speak, but gently pecked her lips again: "Is that alright?"

Lu Yao understood the seemingly random question. Her eyelashes trembled, her ears turned red, and she replied in a slightly trembling voice, "Mm."

Just a simple syllable, yet it seemed to unlock some kind of constraint.

Xie Linyu's kisses fell softly and gently, tracing down her jawline, his warm breath caressing her sensitive neck.

Lu Yao's breathing quickened, and her fingertips unconsciously clenched.

He kissed very lightly.

"Don't be nervous." Noticing her tension, he looked up, a gentle smile in his blue eyes. "Tell me if you're not feeling well."

Lu Yao blushed and nodded, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Xie Linyu lowered his head again and kissed her delicate collarbone.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the living room in a warm orange hue.

A faint fragrance filled the air.

Lu Yao gently placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingertips tightening slightly, and her breathing became somewhat unsteady.

"Xie Linyu..." she called softly, her voice gentle and sweet.

He looked up, his blue eyes swirling with restrained emotions: "Hmm?"

Lu Yao looked into his eyes, where her clear reflection was seen, as if he could only see her.

She didn't speak, but simply reached out and gently stroked his cheek, her fingertips tracing the corners of his slightly reddened eyes. Xie Linyu smiled and lowered his head to place a kiss on her palm.

Then he bent down again.

The sunlight fell quietly, enveloping the scene in a warm glow.

The living room was quiet, with only faint sounds, the two people's intertwined breathing, and a few ambiguous sounds of water.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yao's body trembled slightly, her fingers gripped the sofa cushion beneath her tightly, and tears of rationality welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Xie Linyu looked up, his lips damp, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you alright?"

Lu Yao blushed, turned her face away, and didn't dare to look at him. She just nodded slightly.

Xie Linyu chuckled softly, leaned down and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his chest rising and falling slightly.

"Yaoyao," he called softly.

"Um?"

"I love you."

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat, then a surge of warmth washed over her. She snuggled against him and softly replied, "Yes, I know."

Xie Linyu tightened his arms, buried his face in her hair, and took a deep breath.

The sunlight remained warm, casting a soft golden glow on their embracing figures.

Zhou Jinlu emerged somewhat disheveled from the rubble, looked at Fu Ciyan standing outside, coughed lightly, and tossed him the box containing the chip: "Does this count as surrendering?"

Fu Ciyan reached out and took the box, then gestured to his adjutant to bring water and a towel to Zhou Jinlu. He opened the box and glanced at it: "You should know that I have no decision-making power. Whether you can stay by Yaoyao's side depends on her wishes. However, personally, I approve of you. I have received the items. If there are no problems, Xinxing Technology can be discontinued. Thank you, President Zhou, for risking your life to obtain this important evidence."

Zhou Jinlu took a sip of water, barely suppressing the itch in his throat: "I heard Li Muyan has already met with Lu Yao. Did he do anything?"

"He asked for a photo of himself with Yao Yao."

"Huh?" Zhou Jinlu chuckled, puzzled. "What for? To take it back and reminisce about someone?"

"Who knows, maybe he has other tricks up his sleeve." Fu Ciyan raised his hand, indicating that it was time to call it a day.

Zhou Jinlu agreed with him: "Those people in the news industry certainly have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

Fu Ciyan didn't reply, but turned his head and glanced at him indifferently: "I won't tell Yaoyao about this. I don't want her to worry."

"I understand, and I won't say anything." Zhou Jinlu curled the corners of his lips. "I won't use this to make her grateful to me. I don't want her gratitude; I want her heart."

Seeing the determination in Zhou Jinlu's eyes, Fu Ciyan nodded slightly: "Then I wish you good luck, President Zhou."
