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

"Of course I know," Xie Linyu said matter-of-factly, reaching out to pinch her cheek. "Only you, Yaoyao, think he's a good person."

Lu Yao was amused by his words and leaned into his arms.

"But he didn't do anything to hurt me. To me, he was a really good boss and friend."

Even if Xie Linyu was unwilling to admit it, he had to acknowledge that, so far, everything Zhou Jinlu had done was very beneficial to Lu Yao.

He really couldn't refute it.

"It seems you've been bought off by him."

Lu Yao pinched his cheek in return: "Stop talking nonsense!"

On Wednesday morning, Lu Yao had just finished packing her luggage when she heard the sound of a hovercar landing smoothly outside.

She walked to the window and saw a dark gray hovercar steadily parked in front of the villa. The car door opened, and Zhou Jinlu got out of the car.

Today he wore a light beige casual suit with a white shirt underneath, the collar slightly open, making him look more relaxed than usual.

He stood beside the car, looking up towards the villa, and his gaze met Lu Yao's.

Their eyes met, and Zhou Jinlu smiled and nodded slightly.

Lu Yao smiled at him and turned to walk downstairs.

In the living room, Xie Linyu was already standing there with his suitcase. When he saw Lu Yao come down, he raised an eyebrow: "He's punctual."

Lu Yao walked over, and Xie Linyu naturally took the luggage from her hands, putting his other arm around her waist.

The two walked out of the villa together.

Fu Ciyan had already placed the items he wanted to bring on Zhou Jinlu's hovercar.

Seeing the two of them come out, he asked, "Did you leave anything behind?"

Lu Yao shook her head: "No, if you do, we can buy it over there."

Xie Linyu finished packing their luggage and walked to Zhou Jinlu's side, saying, "What, Mr. Zhou, do you want to set up a branch office on Ocean Flower Island?"

Zhou Jinlu could easily understand the veiled meaning in his words: "If the conditions are right, it's not impossible to consider it. By the way, the drama you just signed is about Ocean Flower Island. After you finish recording this program, you can go directly to the set."

Xie Linyu recalled the detective drama "Dark Night Walk" that he had recently taken on, and the filming location was indeed the outdoor shooting base on Haihua Island.

"Mr. Zhou, you should become a manager," Xie Linyu said with a half-smile. "You even know my schedule so well."

Zhou Jinlu's expression remained unchanged, and his tone remained gentle: "As the boss of Xingwen Entertainment, isn't it normal for me to check the schedules of the artists?"

Their eyes met briefly in the air before they tacitly looked away.

Fu Ciyan didn't participate in their "contest." He had already opened the car door and let Lu Yao get in first before glancing back at the two fighting like cocks: "Shouldn't we be setting off?"

The implication is that you two are going to keep fighting for as long as possible.

Zhou Jinlu turned to Fu Ciyan first and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of General Fu. Our company's artists are just so unruly."

Fu Ciyan nodded: "I understand."

Xie Linyu's eyes widened instantly as he looked at the two shameless individuals who were united in purpose. He then turned and climbed into the car to complain, "Yaoyao, look at those two! All they do is bully me!"

Lu Yao looked at Xie Linyu, who was clinging to her like a big dog, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But before she could say anything, Fu Ciyan grabbed Xie Linyu by the back of his collar and pulled him off her: "Sit properly, don't put pressure on Yao Yao's belly!"

"How could that be? I know what I'm doing!" Xie Linyu slapped Fu Ciyan's hand away in dissatisfaction, but ultimately didn't bother Lu Yao anymore.

After Zhou Jinlu got into the car, he instructed the driver to drive to the interstellar station.

Upon arrival, Lu Yao learned that Zhou Jinlu had prepared a private starship to escort them to Haihua Star.

Looking at the Zhou family crest engraved on the starship.

Xie Linyu curled his lip: "President Zhou is really well prepared."

"Isn't this what should be done? Whenever Actor Xie goes out to film, hasn't Xingwen Entertainment provided him with a dedicated starship escort?"

That's true. Xingwen Entertainment treats its artists very well, which is widely acknowledged in the industry.

Xie Linyu rolled his eyes at Zhou Jinlu's smug and serious expression, then put his arm around Lu Yao's waist: "Come on, let's go pick out a room."

Lu Yao was led forward by him, glancing back at Zhou Jinlu and Fu Ciyan.

Zhou Jinlu met her gaze, smiled, and nodded slightly, indicating that she should go first.

Fu Ciyan walked over from behind and stood beside him, his gaze fixed on the departing figures of Lu Yao and Xie Linyu.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Zhou," he said casually.

Zhou Jinlu withdrew his gaze, a hint of a smile in his light brown eyes: "General Fu, you're too kind. It's my pleasure."

The two exchanged a glance, said nothing, and boarded the starship.

The interior of the starship was more spacious and comfortable than Lu Yao had imagined.

The cabin is decorated in a low-key yet luxurious style, and the warm lighting makes the whole space feel particularly cozy.

Xie Linyu put his arm around her and led her through the corridor, pushing open a cabin door: "How's this one?"

Lu Yao peeked out and saw a simply and clean suite with a large porthole window. There was a sofa in the living room and a wine cabinet next to it. The two bedrooms, one large and one small, were side by side.

"Very good." She nodded.

Xie Linyu smiled with satisfaction and pulled her inside: "This room will do."

A short while later, there was a gentle knock on the hatch.

Xie Linyu walked over and opened the door; it was Fu Ciyan and Zhou Jinlu.

"Oh, you two are here as a team for an inspection?" Xie Linyu raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly teasing.

Fu Ciyan ignored him; this guy had been acting strangely ever since morning.

His gaze passed over his shoulder and landed on Lu Yao, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Are you satisfied with the room?" he asked.

Lu Yao smiled and nodded, "Very good, better than I imagined."

Zhou Jinlu spoke gently, "I live next door. If you need anything, please feel free to ask. It takes two days and one night to get to Ocean Flower Island from here, so I hope to give Miss Lu Yao a good travel experience. In addition, this trip is accompanied by a professional medical team. If Miss Lu Yao feels unwell, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your trouble." Lu Yao knew very well that he had arranged a medical team for her, and she appreciated this thoughtfulness.

Xie Linyu unusually refrained from saying much about this.

Zhou Jinlu did not linger. After saying these words, he took the initiative to leave, leaving the three of them alone.

Fu Ciyan closed the door and looked at Xie Linyu: "Today is supposed to be my day anyway. Yaoyao and I will sleep in the big room, and you can sleep in the small room. No objections, right?"

Xie Linyu shrugged: "Of course I have no objection."

Xie Linyu's quick agreement caught Fu Ciyan's attention, but she didn't say anything. She simply looked down at Lu Yao and said, "You rest, I'll go tidy up the room."

He was always good at organizing these things. Lu Yao nodded and watched him leave. Before she could even turn around, Xie Linyu hugged her from behind: "Yaoyao, we haven't tried it on the starship yet. How about coming to my room tonight, secretly, so Fu Ciyan doesn't know!"
