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

"Godmother, say something! Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you love Huihui anymore?" Qiao Huihui cried pitifully, her face streaked with tears.

Fu Xinzhi had raised her since she was a child, and although they weren't her biological daughter, there was still affection between them. She reached out and wiped away the tears on her face: "You've seen it too, they're already on a long-term match, and your uncle is protecting her so much. You have no chance. Give up sooner rather than later, so you don't become a nuisance."

"Godmother, is there really no way? You know, I've liked Ciyan for a long time. I accepted it when he couldn't accept the walking marriage arrangement, but now that he can, I still don't have a chance. I'm not willing to give up. Godmother, please help me, okay?"

"Nonsense!" Fu Xinzhi gently pushed her away upon hearing this. "Don't you know that Ci Yan has never been close to me since childhood because of his mother? How can I help you? He doesn't even respect his own father. Do you think you can listen to me? Or do you think you're better than Lu Yao? Do you even know what she's like now...?"

Fu Xinzhi wanted to tell Lu Yao that she was pregnant to bring her to her senses.

She was also worried that since the secret hadn't been made public yet, revealing it rashly would backfire.

"What is she now? She's just a screenwriter with some fame, she doesn't have any background. And even if she didn't have Ciyan's brother, she still has that movie star, right? She hasn't lost anything. Godmother, can't you just grant my wish? As long as you can help me lure Ciyan's brother to my room, I can get him. Once he has a relationship with me, he'll have to take responsibility for me. Besides, what if I get pregnant?"

"You're pregnant?" Fu Xinzhi chuckled softly, as if she'd heard something amusing. "You haven't been idle all these years, have you? You've tried men with inferior genes, men with superior genes, and you haven't seen any movement in your belly. How come you got pregnant after just one touch from Fu Ciyan?"

"Godmother, I was just saying, what if? Please, godmother, help me!"

Fu Xinzhi sneered and pushed her away completely: "I can't help you. I still have to live in this family. If you don't want to stay in the Fu family anymore, you can leave. I won't stop you. But I will help you with this kind of thing. You'd better give up and not do it. Think about the Qin family. Fu Ciyan is not a kind person."

A purely virtuous person could never become the Federation's youngest general at such a young age, climb to such a high position, or even become the youngest marshal in the Federation's history.

She wasn't foolish enough to completely offend someone for Qiao Huihui's sake.

After saying those words, Fu Xinzhi left on her own, even feeling a little regretful about her decision to adopt Qiao Huihui.

Qiao Huihui never expected that her godmother, who always doted on her, would refuse so directly this time.

She stomped her foot in frustration. Fine, if you won't help her, then she'll figure it out herself.

As for Fu Xinzhi's warning about the Qin family, she didn't take it to heart at all. That was Qin Shu's stupidity. He didn't win over Fu Ciyan first. If she had a relationship with him directly, she was worried that Fu Ciyan wouldn't take responsibility. If he didn't take responsibility, she would complain to the Bureau of Reproduction. She didn't believe he wouldn't be afraid!

Lu Yao discovered that the banquet at the Fu family's house was filled with all of her favorite foods.

Fu Hongyi arranged for her and Fu Ciyan to sit beside him, and said with a smile, "I specifically asked Ciyan about your current preferences and dietary restrictions. How do you like them? If not, we can have them change them."

Looking at the dishes on the table that suited her taste, Lu Yao felt a warmth in her heart. This thoughtfulness really touched her.

What Fu Hongyi said earlier could be taken as mere politeness.

But this table of dishes was a thoughtful gesture, especially since it was Fu Hongyi's birthday, and in the end, she was the one who benefited.

"Thank you, Uncle Fu, I really like it." She smiled, her tone exceptionally sincere.

Fu Hongyi's smile deepened as he personally ladled a bowl of soup for her and placed it beside him: "I'm glad you like it, I'm glad you like it. Here, try this soup. It's made with old hen and some nourishing herbs. It's mild and not greasy."

Lu Yao took it, took a small sip, and found the chicken soup to be sweet and delicious.

Fu Ciyan watched her from the side, a faint smile in his dark eyes. He would occasionally put a piece of food on her plate and ask her softly, "Is it too hot?" or "Do you want some water?" His thoughtfulness was so remarkable that everyone around him was amazed. They never expected that Fu Ciyan would be like this in private.

They couldn't help but look at Lu Yao, wondering how she had managed to mold General Fu, who had initially preferred to pay a penalty for breach of contract rather than participate in the walking marriage matchmaking, into the person she was now.

Lu Yao was fairly comfortable with the meal. Everyone at the table remained restrained and polite, and it seemed that they could all see that Fu Ciyan and Fu Hongyi had a special attitude towards Lu Yao. Not wanting to be reprimanded in public like Qiao Huihui, they did not dare to say anything to Lu Yao.

After dinner, Fu Ciyan accompanied Lu Yao to digest her food and took her on a tour of the Fu family's old residence.

As dusk settled, warm yellow lights illuminated the courtyard of the Fu family's old residence.

Fu Ciyan held Lu Yao's hand and walked slowly along the bluestone path.

The old house covers a large area, with pavilions, towers, bridges and streams, revealing the family's rich heritage.

In terms of style, it is somewhat similar to the Suzhou gardens that Lu Yao had visited in the past.

"This place is so beautiful." Lu Yao looked at the pond not far away, where the lights were reflected on the surface and several koi carp swam leisurely.

Fu Ciyan followed her gaze and said calmly, "When I was little, not many people came here, and I often fed the fish here by myself."

Lu Yao turned her head to look at him upon hearing this.

Under the moonlight, the man's profile was clearly defined, his expression gentle, with a hint of a smile, all traces of the past gloom gone.

Lu Yao reached out and gently stroked his face. Fu Ciyan also lowered his head, and their lips met.

Suddenly, a thud and a woman's scream rang out.

Lu Yao was startled by the sudden scream, and her body stiffened instinctively.

Fu Ciyan frowned slightly, reached out and pulled her into his arms, his dark eyes sweeping sharply in the direction from which the sound came.

In the pond not far away, a red figure was splashing around in the water.

It's Qiao Huihui.

"Help! Help!" Qiao Huihui struggled in the water, her red skirt spreading out on the surface like a blooming flower. She thrashed about, looking towards the shore with a pitiful gaze fixed on Fu Ciyan. "Ciyan! Save me! I can't swim!"

On the shore, the servants who heard the noise rushed over, and someone dipped a bamboo pole into the water for Qiao Huihui to grab.

Qiao Huihui, however, kept looking in their direction and didn't grab anything. She was clearly waiting for Fu Ciyan to go down and rescue them himself.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yao didn't know what to say for a moment. She gently nudged Fu Ciyan, wanting to ask him how to handle it.

Fu Ciyan gently put his arm around her waist and said calmly, "The water in the pond is less than a meter deep. Miss Qiao, you can get up. The silt in the pond has not been cleaned for a long time and it smells terrible. If Miss Qiao likes this smell, you can soak for a while longer."
