Luo Xi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by this group of handsome men with different styles. She coughed lightly, trying to break the strange silence: "Well... it's getting late, why don't you all go to bed early?"
However, this sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.
"I'll take you back to your room." Ling Yuan spoke first, his voice low and magnetic, like a mellow red wine, making people unconsciously indulge in it. As he spoke, he walked towards Luo Xi, his beautiful red eyes flashing with a gentle light.
"I'll go with you," Fan Xiao followed closely behind. Although his tone was calm, his icy blue eyes gleamed with a light that could not be refused, like a large dog guarding its food. His tall body blocked Ling Yuan's way like an insurmountable mountain.
Although the others remained silent, their expressions were all quite subtle. The twins, Ivan and Damon, had eyes filled with loss, like two abandoned fawns, pitiful and helpless. Xuanqi and Mike, however, remained composed, silently staring at Luo Xi with deep, unfathomable eyes. Lu Ye, as always, remained silent, like a lone wolf, quietly observing all this.
Rosie felt a headache coming on. She rubbed her temples and wondered how Mary had managed to keep 100 partners so content. She envied her, but she clearly didn't have the talent.
She took a deep breath and tried to sound calmer: "I want to be alone today."
Ling Yuan spoke at the right time: "Xixi is tired, she should be allowed to rest."
The younger companions all expressed disappointment, while the usually calm Mike and Xuanqi showed no strong emotions. As for Xingyu, he always stayed out of such matters. He simply glanced at Luo Xi calmly, his amber pupils devoid of any emotion, as if none of this had anything to do with him.
Luo Xi hardened her heart, turned around and walked upstairs with firm steps without any hesitation.
Back in the room, Luo Xi had just closed the door when she felt a breeze behind her. Then, a familiar, light, cold woody fragrance enveloped her. She didn't even need to turn around to know who was coming.
"How did you get in?" Luo Xi turned around helplessly and looked at Ling Yuan, who was already sitting on the sofa. His long legs were crossed, and he was holding a paper magazine in his hand, flipping through it leisurely.
In the interstellar age, paper books have long become a luxury that only a few people collect.
Ling Yuan raised his eyes, his beautiful red eyes sparkling under the light. He smiled slightly, his voice low and magnetic: "If I want to see you, I can come in naturally."
Luo Qian sighed softly, walked over to the sofa opposite him and sat down, crossed her arms, and looked at him leisurely: "President Lingyuan is busy with all kinds of things, how come you have time to come and have fun with me?"
"Why, you're not welcome?" Ling Yuan put down the magazine in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Luo Xi with burning eyes. "I deliberately postponed several important meetings to make time to accompany you."
"Oh? Then I'm really flattered." Luo Xi raised her eyebrows with a hint of teasing in her tone.
Ling Yuan chuckled, he stood up and walked step by step to Luo Xi. His tall body brought a strong sense of oppression. He leaned over and put his hands on the armrest of the sofa beside Luo Xi, trapping her between him and the sofa.
"I haven't had a chance to talk to you alone since you came back, and I also want to accompany you and the little female cub in your belly." He stood up, walked to Rosie, gently took her in his arms, and gently stroked her belly.
The cub's due date is approaching, and the little guy is now very active. He puts his warm big paw on Rosie's bulging belly and rubs it gently.
Perhaps sensing Ling Yuan's presence, the little guy was even more excited than usual, punching and kicking in his stomach like an energetic little monkey, never quieting down for a moment.
"Why is this little guy so noisy today?" Rosie was a little helpless. She could feel small bulges on her belly, rising and falling like waves.
Ling Yuan's red eyes were full of tenderness. He leaned over and gently put his ear on Luo Xi's belly, listening carefully to the movements inside. A happy arc appeared at the corner of his lips: "It seems that she likes me as a father very much."
"You are really good at flattering yourself." Luo Xi chuckled and raised her hand to gently stroke Ling Yuan's soft white hair.
Maybe because they were little female cubs, no matter how noisy they were, they were not as unbearable as the three little ones before.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room took on a strange quality. Particles in the air began to shimmer, dancing around Rosie's belly like fireflies, gradually converging into a faint energy shield that emitted a soft glow.
"This is..." Rosie looked at the scene in front of her in surprise. She could feel a warm power coming from her lower abdomen and flowing throughout her body, making her feel extremely comfortable and at ease.
A flash of surprise flashed across Ling Yuan's red eyes, but was soon replaced by ecstasy: "This is... this is the energy fluctuation of the little female! She actually awakened her superpowers so early!"
Luo Qian looked down at her wrist, where she saw an ancient ring, the very one Ling Yuan had given her. Ever since it had protected her from the fatal blow of the eighth-rank beast on Raven Star, the ring had been completely dormant, like an ordinary ornament. But now, it seemed to have awakened, emitting a soft glow that echoed with the energy fluctuations of the female cub, as if they were resonating, or communicating.
"This..." Rosie covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes widening. What was going on? Could this ring be alive?
"It seems that our little female cub is destined to be extraordinary." Ling Yuan's voice was full of anticipation.
Rosie looked at the ring in her hand, then at her swollen belly, a wave of inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart. She didn't know what secrets the ring held, nor did she know what the future held for the cub. But she knew she would do her utmost to protect her child and ensure she grew up healthy and happy. This was her first child since coming into this world, and just thinking about it made her a little excited!
"What kind of superpower do you think she has?" Luo Xi asked curiously, her eyes full of anticipation, just like herself when she was opening blind boxes as a child.
"No matter what her psychic ability is, she is our most precious treasure." Ling Yuan gently embraced Luo Xi and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. His voice was so gentle that it could drip water. "However, I guess she will most likely inherit my psychic ability. After all, my psychic power is S-level."
Luo Xi rolled her eyes. This guy was being narcissistic again. However, she also admitted that Ling Yuan's mental strength was indeed very strong. If the little female cub could really inherit his mental abilities, that would be quite good.
"That's not certain," Luo Xi teased him deliberately, "What if she inherited my wood-type ability? My wood-type ability is at the peak of the ninth level, even more powerful than your eighth level!"
Ling Yuan raised an eyebrow, unwilling to be outdone: "So what? Psychic abilities are the rarest of abilities. Besides, my mental strength can still be improved. Maybe one day I can break through to the ninth level?"
"Tsk, just brag!" Luo Xi curled her lips, like a proud little peacock. "How can it be so easy to break through to the ninth level? Do you think it's just cabbage, and you can break through it just like that?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Rosie wanted to bite off her tongue.
Ling Yuan had been practicing for such a long time but had not yet broken through to the ninth level, but he himself broke through so easily.
If he asks, how should I explain it?
She actually wanted to confess about the system, but because she hid it at the beginning, she felt a little unsure where to start when she wanted to speak out.
Her partners were all so smart that they must have noticed something was wrong with her a long time ago, but they chose not to delve into it, giving her absolute respect and freedom.
Luo Xi felt like there was a little rabbit in her heart, her heart was beating fast, her eyes began to wander, and she didn't dare to look Ling Yuan in the eye.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yuan did not take the opportunity to ask further questions. Instead, he continued her words naturally, "That's hard to say." He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a confident arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, like a cunning fox. "What if I am gifted?"
"Come on, you're so gifted..." Knowing that he was teasing her on purpose, Rosie cooperated and complained, "I think you're daydreaming!"
The two of them were arguing with each other in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, like a pair of flirting lovers.
"Hey, don't move!" Rosie suddenly felt the baby in her belly kick her. "It seems like she's protesting our quarrel!"
Hearing this, Ling Yuan quickly put away the smile on his face and carefully placed his hand on Luo Xi's belly, feeling the movement inside: "Be good, baby, mommy and daddy won't quarrel anymore, mommy and daddy love you very much."
Luo Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing at his cautious look. This man, who was usually decisive and resolute in the business world, unexpectedly showed such a gentle side when facing his own children. The contrast was so cute!
"Who do you think she will look more like after she is born?" Rosie suddenly asked, her eyes full of anticipation, like a curious baby.
"Like you." Ling Yuan blurted out without hesitation, "I hope she can be as beautiful, as kind, and as strong as you."
A warm feeling welled up in Luo Xi's heart, like the sunshine on a winter day. She looked at Ling Yuan, her eyes filled with tenderness. "I also hope that she can be like you, as smart, as outstanding, and as...rich as you."
Ling Yuan was a little amused and touched her nose with his finger: "Little money-grubber!"
That night, the two of them cuddled together, seemingly having endless things to say. Luo Xi rested her head gently on Ling Yuan's chest, listening to his steady, strong heartbeat and feeling an unprecedented peace. She told him every detail of her life on Earth, the joys and sorrows of her past, the secrets buried deep in her heart.
Ling Yuan listened quietly, without interrupting or judging, only occasionally responding with a gentle look and gently stroking her hair with his slender fingers. His embrace was broad and warm, like a safe haven, allowing her to let down all her guard and talk freely.
Before they knew it, the night had deepened. Outside the window, the stars twinkled like countless pairs of eyes, watching the couple sleeping in each other's arms. Luo Xi fell into a deep sleep, a satisfied smile still on her lips, as innocent as a child.
Ling Yuan gazed at her sleeping face, his red eyes filled with tenderness. He gently placed a kiss on her forehead, then carefully hugged her tightly, fearing to disturb her sweet dream.
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the gap in the curtains and fell on Luo Xi's face, like a thin layer of golden gauze. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in Ling Yuan's arms, and he was looking at her intently.
"Good morning, my little lazy cat." Ling Yuan's voice was a little hoarse from just waking up, and was particularly sexy.
Luo Xi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she sat up from his arms a little embarrassedly: "Good morning."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Breakfast was served in Rosie's castle. The long dining table was filled with a variety of exquisite foods, emitting an alluring aroma. Rosie and Ling Yuan sat side by side, and the other companions also arrived one after another.
When Fan Xiao saw Luo Qian and Ling Yuan appear together, his face suddenly darkened. His icy blue eyes stared straight at Ling Yuan, as if he wanted to stare a hole through him.
"Some people say one thing and do another." Fan Xiao snorted coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.
He was implying something, and everyone present knew it. Last night, Ling Yuan had vowed to let Luo Xi have a good rest, but he had sneaked into her room.
Ling Yuan, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, then spoke slowly, "Do some people have the same name as me? No need to beat around the bush. Just tell me my citizen identification number."
"...How can you be so shameless?" Fan Xiao was very angry with him.
"Thank you for the compliment," Ling Yuan smiled slightly, revealing a row of neat white teeth. "However, I think shamelessness is a basic professional quality of a businessman."
"..."
Fan Xiao was so angry that his silver wolf ears pressed back and he didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Rosie couldn't help laughing as she watched the two men going back and forth, neither giving in.
They had known each other longer than he had known her, and they fought almost every time they met. It was a miracle that their friendship had lasted for so many years.
However, this tense relationship has added a lot of fun to their lives.
Luo Xi picked up a piece of delicate dessert and gently put it into her mouth.
The pastry has a crispy crust and delicate filling. The sweet but not greasy taste slowly blooms on the taste buds like a delicate flower, making people feel extremely satisfied.
She raised her head and glanced at the men sitting at the table.
"Where are Mike and the twins?"
