Chapter 17 Mu Jiaojiao
Fu Xingyan lowered his head and couldn't help but give Shao Leyan a light kiss on his smooth forehead.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."
Shao Leyan lifted his long feathery eyelashes, his vision blurred by the sweat, and he didn't notice how presumptuous the soft and moist touch on his forehead was.
She asked in surprise, "Do you want to continue? Aren't you tired or hungry?"
Central city, main urban area.
Mu Sheng, the Lord of Central City, looked at Fu Xingchen with a smile in his eyes. The more he admired him, the more regretful he felt because of his special physique that allowed his supernatural powers to leak out. He had no choice but to give up this most preferred candidate for son-in-law.
As a result, Fu Xingchen has always been single. Not to mention a woman, he doesn't even have a close male friend.
But Mu Sheng heard something strange two days ago. He asked calmly:
"I heard that there's a new and powerful person in the dungeon, and you think highly of her."
When mentioning Shao Leyan, Fu Xingchen's heart softened, his cold and distant temperament instantly dissipated a little, and he inexplicably became a bit friendly and warm.
"That's true."
Mu Sheng was stunned. He didn't expect Fu Xingchen to admit it so bluntly.
Fortunately, his beloved daughter Jiaojiao is not here. If she had listened to Fu Xingchen's words, she would have been heartbroken.
Mu Jinsheng, who was sitting opposite Fu Xingchen, ate in silence. His handsome face, like a sculpture, showed a cold and indifferent expression, which was out of place with the two people who were chatting politely.
At this time, the clear and bright laughter of a girl came from the door.
"Brother Xingchen, you're back, why didn't you tell me?"
Mu Jiaojiao went straight to Fu Xingchen as soon as she entered the room, sat beside him, hugged his arm which was tightly wrapped in anti-electric material, and acted coquettishly with him with a pure and lovely face.
In the past, Fu Xingchen would have allowed Mu Jiaojiao to get close to him as long as it was safe, and act coquettishly and sweetly to him.
He would also gently rub her little head with his big gloved hands and answer the little girl's innocent questions with a smile in his eyes.
But now…
Fu Xingchen pulled his arm out of Mu Jiaojiao's arms somewhat awkwardly, his eyes full of tolerance and kindness like a brother looking at his sister. The corners of his lips raised slightly in a polite arc, and his gentle tone was mixed with a bit of deliberate avoidance of suspicion.
"I won't tell you, but you're here too, aren't you?"
The empty arms were filled with dry and slightly cool air. Mu Jiaojiao suddenly realized that something had changed, but she had just noticed it.
"Brother Xingchen," Mu Jiaojiao pouted, blinking her big eyes, looking adorable, "you used to pat my head, smile and tell me that you were happy to see me too."
Fu Xingchen's polite smile faded a little. He looked at Mu Jiaojiao who was acting coquettishly with him, but all he could think of was Shao Leyan's face.
He remembered every expression of hers in his heart, and all his love was focused on such a wonderful person. Naturally, he would not love and pamper Mu Jiaojiao as he did in the past.
Mu Jinsheng noticed Fu Xingchen's deliberate avoidance, and she opened her soft lips slightly, her tone gentle and light but unquestionable.
"Jiaojiao, don't disturb City Lord Fu. Come sit next to your brother."
Mu Jiaojiao always listened to Mu Jinsheng the most. When she saw her brother making the request, she had no thoughts of rebellion in her heart, so she had to part with Fu Xingchen pitifully.
"Then Brother Xingchen, I'll go sit next to my brother."
Fu Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, his brows relaxed a lot, and he was almost glad that she had left.
"Go!"
Mu Sheng took in all of this and felt a little dissatisfied.
He has always known what his daughter is thinking. If it were before, he would be happy to see his daughter and Fu Xingchen being intimate.
But now Fu Xingchen obviously has someone in his heart, but Mu Jiaojiao is completely unaware of it and still treats Fu Xingchen with the same affectionate attitude as before.
It seemed like his beloved daughter was rushing to throw herself into his arms.
He is the lord of the Central City, and his daughter is naturally the most noble woman in the apocalypse. Even if Fu Xingchen is young, promising, and powerful, he cannot watch his daughter become a laughing stock of the people in the two cities.
Fu Xingchen noticed the huge change in Mu Sheng's attitude towards him. He could understand it and felt that this was normal.
He already has a lover, so it is impossible for him to be involved with other women behind her back.
Shao Leyan had been treated and tortured inhumanely by her ex-husband, so she must hate two-timing men the most.
He wants to get Shao Leyan's love, to be with her forever, and he will not do anything to make her unhappy.
Underground research institute, operation room.
Fu Xingyan and Shao Leyan looked into each other's eyes, their breaths intertwined, so close that one of them could kiss the other's soft lips just by lifting his chin.
Fu Xingyan held Shao Leyan's small face, which was only the size of his palm, in his left hand. He pinched her small and delicate chin with his palm, and raised the tweezers steadily with his right hand, gently pinching off one of her long eyelashes.
The warm breath that sprayed on his nose withdrew, and Shao Leyan suddenly felt a little cold and couldn't help but shrink his shoulders.
She watched Fu Xingyan put her eyelashes into the sampling tube with swift movements, and her heart ached.
"I'll cut my own nails!"
Fu Xingyan held Shao Leyan's hand that was reaching for the nail scissors. His palm was warm and soft. Shao Leyan blushed and swallowed.
Fu Xingyan stroked the back of Shao Leyan's soft hand, his tone gentle as water, "Let me do it, you don't know the specifications."
Shao Leyan could only compromise and watched with her own eyes as Fu Xingyan held her right hand with both hands and cut her neatly trimmed nails all the way through.
If you cut a little more, the tip of your finger will be cut and bleed.
"And toenails."
"oh."
Shao Leyan held her feet and handed them to Fu Xingyan. The next second, Fu Xingyan grabbed her ankle and pulled it gently. Her size 35 feet were firmly placed on the inside of Fu Xingyan's thigh.
Shao Leyan shuddered, and as he watched Fu Xingyan trim his toenails without changing his expression, he felt his face getting even hotter.
"Sampling is complete, and today's work is over."
Shao Leyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tomorrow, or at this time today, I will go to the City Lord's Palace to pick you up."
Shao Leyan was stunned and couldn't speak clearly, "Still...still coming?"
Fu Xingyan was amused by Shao Leyan's confused expression and patiently explained:
"You have passed the test as a test subject. Tomorrow will be the formal experiment. Considering your special abilities, the experimental method will be changed to a tailor-made experimental plan for you."
Shao Leyan nodded and asked again: "Still can't wear clothes?"
"Yes, that's what you have to do in the lab. You'll get used to it. If you think it's unfair, I can take it off with you."
Shao Leyan's mouth widened in surprise, "Huh?"
Fu Xingyan spoke frankly, and Shao Leyan felt a tightness in his chest, unable to breathe.
