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

The message was brief, without any sentimental farewell, extra words, or any demands for her to make any promises.

She simply told him she was leaving, and that everything about her had been arranged, so he could rest assured.

Lu Yao had to admit that, putting that incident aside, Gu Jingxiao was indeed someone who made people feel comfortable around him.

【Received, take care.】

She didn't say anything, just gave the simplest response.

Gu Jingxiao stood by the spaceship's huge porthole, looking at the simple reply, and slightly curled the corners of his lips.

Although there were no promises, a response is better than no response at all.

*

Shortly after Gu Jingxiao left, the second season of "Temptation of Wife" was officially launched on the Federal Center Channel.

On the night of the premiere, Lu Yao nestled on the sofa, holding Xiao Zhima in her arms, with Fu Ciyan and Xie Linyu on either side of her.

The living room was lit only by warm yellow wall lamps, and a huge screen was suspended in mid-air. When the exciting melody of the opening theme started, Little Sesame was startled and buried her head in Lu Yao's arms, only revealing her two furry ears.

"Coward." Xie Linyu reached out and poked the ears. Little Sesame meowed in dissatisfaction and then snuggled its head into Lu Yao's arms.

Lu Yao smiled and protected it, swatting away Xie Linyu's mischievous hand.

Xie Linyu took her hand and played with it in his palm, then said softly, "Sure enough, after acting with you before filming, I was much more confident during the actual shoot."

When Xie Linyu mentioned it, Lu Yao couldn't help but recall the scenes of acting with Xie Linyu. Her cheeks flushed, and she only responded softly without saying anything more.

Just then, Lu Yao's terminal rang; it was Zhou Jinlu.

Upon suddenly seeing this name, Lu Yao's heart tightened, and she instantly remembered that Zhou Jinlu had called that day when Fu Ciyan was in the car...

"Why didn't you answer?" Fu Ciyan reached out and put his arm around her waist, leaned closer, and rested his chin on her shoulder as he asked.

Lu Yao blushed and gave him a reproachful look, which contained a subtle warning.

Fu Ciyan curled his lips into a smile.

After Lu Yao answered the call, she heard Zhou Jinlu say, "Are you watching the second season of 'Temptation of a Wife'?"

"I'm looking at it," Lu Yao replied, trying to make her voice sound natural. "Is there something you need, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Jinlu paused for a moment: "It's nothing serious, just a reminder that you should attend the launch ceremony of the 'Starlight Project' tomorrow. There's also a short speech to give. You can prepare in advance. The launch ceremony will take about an hour, so it won't take up too much of your time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao suddenly remembered that Zhou Jinlu had contacted her about this very thing, which she had completely forgotten.

If Zhou Jinlu hadn't contacted her again today, she would have completely forgotten about this matter.

They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, I hope she's not already starting to lose her mind!

"Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Zhou, otherwise I would have completely forgotten." Lu Yao was slightly embarrassed. "Don't worry, I will definitely prepare well."

Zhou Jinlu sensed the annoyance in her tone, and the smile on his lips deepened.

"Don't be nervous, just act normally," he reassured gently. "I'm here, don't worry. I'll pick you up tomorrow night."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Zhou."

"No need to be polite, it's my pleasure." Zhou Jinlu said, and then consciously hung up the call, showing a great sense of propriety.

Xie Linyu had been listening to her conversation with Zhou Jinlu the whole time, and only spoke up now that Lu Yao had turned off the call: "Are you going out with Zhou Jinlu tomorrow?"

Lu Yao nodded, noticing the subtle shift in Xie Linyu's tone, and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Xie Linyu pursed his lips, not answering immediately, but instead pulled her into his arms and nuzzled her head against him: "Zhou Jinlu is definitely trying to use this opportunity to get close to you. You mustn't let him fool you. Even if... you have to stall him for a while longer, don't let him get you so easily, okay?"

Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh after hearing Xie Linyu's words.

"Xie Linyu," she called his name, her tone tinged with helplessness, "Are you telling me to string him along?"

"What do you mean by 'hanging him up'? This is a test! If he doesn't even have this much patience, why should he want to join us?"

Lu Yao was both amused and exasperated: "Aren't you overthinking this?"

"How could I be overthinking this? Has Yaoyao forgotten that he's still waiting for your 'love number'?"

Lu Yao was slightly taken aback when Xie Linyu suddenly brought it up. There really was such a thing, but Zhou Jinlu never mentioned it again, so she took it as just a whim of his.

Seeing that Lu Yao seemed to have remembered, Xie Linyu raised an eyebrow: "In short, don't let him get too fast."

"It's over. It's getting late. Get some rest. It's Tuesday." Fu Ciyan got up and took Xiaozhi from Lu Yao's arms. He glanced at Xie Linyu and then looked at Lu Yao. "If you don't want to be with him, you can come back to my room with me."

Upon hearing this, Xie Linyu immediately became alert, wrapping his arms around Lu Yao and glaring at Fu Ciyan: "Hey, don't you have any morals? How dare you steal my share?"

Fu Ciyan remained expressionless, giving him a faint glance: "I'm just giving Yaoyao the right to choose."

"You..." Xie Linyu choked, then turned to look at Lu Yao, his blue eyes filled with expectation and nervousness, "Yaoyao, today is Tuesday, you promised you wouldn't abandon me, right?"

Looking at him like this, Lu Yao couldn't help but smile and nod: "Yes, I won't abandon you."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Fu Ciyan, wanting to say something, but Fu Ciyan reached out and hooked her chin, kissing her fiercely in front of Xie Linyu.

The kiss came suddenly and forcefully.

Lu Yao's eyes widened instantly, and before she could react, Fu Ciyan's breath filled her mouth.

Xie Linyu froze for a second, then exploded: "Fu Ciyan! You!"

Fu Ciyan released Lu Yao, straightened up calmly, glanced at him lightly, then looked down at Lu Yao and whispered in her ear, "If he doesn't serve me well, he can come to me anytime. Good night."

After saying that, Fu Ciyan released his hand, turned around and went upstairs.

Xie Linyu stood there, watching Fu Ciyan's departing figure, gritting his teeth in anger: "He absolutely did it on purpose! Absolutely!"

Lu Yao blushed and tugged at his sleeve: "Don't be angry, let's go back to the room."

Xie Linyu looked down at her, his gaze falling on her slightly swollen lips from the kiss, and his eyes darkened.

He reached out and gently brushed his thumb across her lips, his voice muffled: "He certainly knows how to pick a spot."

Lu Yao's cheeks burned even hotter at his action, and she gently grabbed his hand: "Stop fooling around, I..."

Xie Linyu didn't give her a chance to finish speaking, but suddenly bent down, captured her lips, and sucked on them fiercely, as if he wanted to eliminate all of Fu Ciyan's scent.

They kissed for a long time, until Lu Yao's breathing became erratic, before they were finally released. Then Xie Linyu said in a hoarse voice, "Disinfect."
