Healing the downtrodden S-class orcs, the little females are being snatched up

Chapter 103 Guilty conscience.

As soon as Lu Yu and the housekeeper stepped into the main hall of the house, they heard Lu Gewei's voice: "Go out and kneel!"

In Earl Gewei's mansion, kneeling as punishment did not only happen to Lu Gewei's concubines and servants, but also to these female cubs.

But now Lu Xiao and Lu Huan have grown up and moved out of here, living on their own.

Now the only one who is still being punished is her.

When facing Lu Xiao, Lu Yu dared to resist a little, but when facing Lu Gewei, Lu Yu did not dare to resist at all.

Perhaps because he had been suppressed since childhood, he was very clear about Lu Gewei's methods.

Lu Yu turned around and knelt outside. She did not expect anyone to plead for her. Even though her male father was at home, Admiral Clan did not care much about female cubs like them, no matter when or whether he was there. He was waiting for her at home this time. Who knows, he might look for her again after she was punished to kneel. Just thinking about it made Lu Yu feel gloomy.

She thought that it was a good thing that she had eaten at Lu Xiao's place, otherwise after she came back, Lu Gewei would not care whether she was still hungry or not. She never cared about such things.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu felt that Lu Xiao was actually quite good. Although she had a sharp tongue, she still knew how to feed her.

There would be no harm without comparison. She now understood why Lu Huan treated Lu Xiao like that.

Although Lu Xiao did not help her this time, she inexplicably felt a sense of warmth from Lu Xiao.

After Lu Yu was picked up, Lu Xiao returned to her room.

Ares was responsible for arranging Lieutenant General Fred's residence, so she didn't need to worry about it.

When Ares came back, he saw Lu Xiao lying there, browsing today's news.

“Has there been any reports on this?”

Lu Xiao shook her head: "They just said that further investigation is needed, but fortunately there are only injuries, no deaths. Some people here speculate that it is caused by the aging of the pipeline."

But Lu Xiao felt that this was an official reason, and it might not be the case in reality.

"Where is the black market?" Lu Xiao raised her eyes and looked at Ares curiously.

As a major general of the empire, Lu Xiao didn't believe that Ares didn't know.

Ares was not surprised by Lu Xiao's question. He knew very well that Lu Xiao was not only smart but also very perceptive.

It's normal to be aware of where the problem lies.

"Zhongxuan Street Underground City."

Having said that, there is still something that Lu Xiao doesn't understand. The explosion may have something to do with Lieutenant General Fred.

Otherwise, how could Fred be injured?
But having said this, Lu Xiao did not continue the topic. Sometimes you don’t need to know too much.

First, she doesn't want to get involved in trouble, and second, she doesn't want to solve or deal with trouble.

Turning off the light screen, Lu Xiao lifted the quilt and rolled into it: "Sleep!"

Seeing that the little female did not ask any further questions, Ares was worried that Lu Xiao would be curious about the result.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao was very sensible, and a smile appeared in Ares' eyes.

The next morning, Lieutenant General Fred's injuries had basically healed. When he went downstairs, Ares was already preparing breakfast. Seeing him, he naturally greeted him: "Are you feeling better, Lieutenant General Fred?"

"Thank you for your care. I'm fine now. Is this the case with you every day?"

As if he knew what Fred was asking, Ares smiled faintly: "Sometimes Lu Xiao will help too. She likes to do these things very much."

Fred's eyes flashed, and he wanted to say something, but then he heard the door open upstairs, and then he saw Lu Xiao coming down from upstairs: "Good morning, Lieutenant General Fred, did you sleep well last night?"

"Thanks to you, I slept well." "That's good." Lu Xiao replied and walked to Ares, "I'll help you."

Fred sat aside, watching the two people busy in the kitchen. Although he was among them, he found it difficult to fit in.

The breakfast was simple but hearty, and Ares was a very good cook. When Fred was free, he would also study cooking skills, after all, it was a compulsory course for almost every male.

However, he seemed to have no talent in this area. No matter how hard he tried to learn, he couldn't do it well, let alone make it taste good like Ares.

“You’re such a good cook.”

Hearing this, Ares looked at Lu Xiao and said, "It's because the teacher taught me well."

Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows, then smiled at Ares.

Fred saw this scene, his eyes darkened: "Thank you for yesterday, I will treat you to a meal when I have the chance, as a thank you."

"Lieutenant General Fred, you don't have to be so polite. After all, Lu Yu is my sister. If you save her, you are helping us."

Lu Xiao's reason was so good that Fred couldn't refute it. At the same time, he knew very well that Lu Xiao was trying to distance herself from him.

It was obvious that Lu Xiao had been drawing a line between herself and him from the beginning to the end.

I felt a little depressed but I couldn't say that Lu Xiao was wrong.

After all, Lu Xiao had been very frank with him from the very beginning, and he knew what Lu Xiao was thinking early on. It was he who couldn't control his heart and overstepped his boundaries without authorization.

"Then maybe there will be a chance." Hearing Lu Xiao's refusal, Fred would not pester her any further and stood up and said, "I still have to go back and report. I won't bother you two anymore. I'll take my leave now."

"Lieutenant General Fred, let me see you off." Ares stood up and walked Fred to the door.

Lu Xiao did not go out. When Ares came back, she had already finished her breakfast.

After that, neither of them mentioned anything about Lieutenant General Fred again.

I was just a passer-by who happened to appear in their home. I came as a guest, and I should see you off properly when I leave. It is enough to be polite, and there is no need to worry too much.

What Lu Xiao didn't expect was that as soon as she came out of the house and got on the hovercraft, she received a call from Earl Hua An.

Seeing this communication note, Lu Xiao was unwilling to admit it. She felt nervous for a moment. Could it be about Noah again?
Thinking of Noah's previous behavior, although she had clearly refused, she was still a little worried that Li Huaan might know about this and would come to her to take responsibility again.

After all, there has been a previous case of this.

Seeing Lu Xiao staring at the terminal for a long time without answering, Ares was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

"Li Huaan sent me a voice message!" Lu Xiao looked at Ares, and for the first time the man saw guilt on her face.

As if he understood what Lu Xiao was feeling guilty about, Ares thought the little female was so adorable.

Just because he rejected Noah's confession, he felt too guilty to answer Li Huaan's voice message. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. How could there be such a soft and well-behaved little female, and she's his!

Ares felt inflated and satisfied inside. Every time he thought he liked Lu Xiao very much, he would find that he could like her even more.

Noticing the smile on Ares' lips, Lu Xiao couldn't help but widen her eyes: "What are you laughing at, Ares!"

Ares raised his hand to cover his lips, coughed lightly, and said in a natural way: "Take it, it shouldn't be Noah's business."

"Really?" Lu Xiao looked at Ares suspiciously, as if to say, "You said this, so I believe you. What do you think?"

Ares looked at her with a smile, reached out and gently touched Lu Xiao's head: "Trust me!"

The two words "sure" made Lu Xiao feel at ease.

The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, and she gently slapped Ares' hand away. She felt that at that moment, Ares was coaxing her like a child.
