Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Special

The next morning, when Ares woke up, warm sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, falling gently upon Lu Xiao’s hair.

The soundly sleeping female had a fair, rosy complexion. A hint of exhaustion lingered on her features, yet she looked exceptionally alluring.

Thinking about the previous night, Ares curled his lips into a silent smile and placed a gentle kiss on Lu Xiao’s cheek.

Without waking the sleeping female, he quietly lifted the covers. He was going to prepare breakfast for his female master.

At that moment, Ares was filled with contentment.

If he had harbored any doubts about Lu Xiao before, after last night, he didn’t know how to express the joy in his heart.

His female master had been a virgin.

And even though she had been exhausted, Lu Xiao’s first thought wasn’t for herself, but whether his estrus had passed.

The mere memory of it made Ares smile. He would cherish this joy forever.

When Lu Xiao woke, she felt sore all over, but it was bearable.

She subconsciously glanced at the time. As expected, she had woken up much later than usual.

’Ares is already out of bed. I wonder when he woke up; I didn’t notice a thing. And how is he doing? He should have made it through okay, right?’

’Otherwise, my back really couldn’t have taken any more.’

’I really underestimated the seemingly gentle Ares. He’s a man with normal needs, after all.’

After using her purification power to mend her body and banish the soreness and fatigue, Lu Xiao finally got out of bed, got ready, and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Ares had already placed the finished breakfast on the table. Seeing her, he smiled and said, “Good morning. Are you feeling okay?”

Lu Xiao glanced at him. His eyes held a hint of concern. Now that he was dressed, he was once again the elegant, composed Ares she was used to.

’It was hard to imagine how wild last night was.’

Realizing what she was thinking, Lu Xiao raised a hand to cover her lips and coughed lightly. “I’m fine. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine now. My female master took care of it for me… very thoroughly.”

Hearing the word “thoroughly,” Lu Xiao’s normally composed face was suddenly tinged with a faint blush.

“That’s good!” Lu Xiao sat down, feigning nonchalance and hoping the topic would end quickly.

Fortunately, Ares had always been tactful and didn’t press the issue.

This made Lu Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, she felt that Ares had a scent on him today that she really liked.

And she seemed to have the same scent on herself.

This scent wasn’t unpleasant at all; in fact, Lu Xiao quite liked it.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but Lu Xiao felt that the sense of distance between her and Ares was gone, as if they had truly become much more intimate.

This feeling lasted all the way until Lu Xiao arrived at the Fifth Research Institute.

She had just stepped out of the hovercar, and before she could say goodbye to Ares, she saw Noah standing outside the entrance of the Fifth Research Institute.

’Why is Earl Li Hua’an’s son here?’

When he noticed her, his face broke into a delighted smile, and he strode quickly toward her.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao subconsciously took a step back. She suddenly remembered what Lu Huan had told her about Noah asking about her.

’It can’t be what I think it is, can it?’

“Your Excellency Lu Xiao, I’m Noah. We’ve met before. I’m truly sorry for losing my composure in front of you last time. I hope you’ll forgive me. I came today to thank you in person for saving me. Might I treat you to a meal to express my gratitude?”

Faced with the enthusiastic Noah, Lu Xiao’s only thought was to refuse. “I’m sorry, I’m afraid I don’t have time for a meal, but I accept your thanks. I have to get to work now, so you should head back.”

Noah hadn’t expected Lu Xiao to refuse so bluntly. But when he saw Ares sitting in the car, a flash of understanding dawned in his eyes. “Alright, then I’ll come find you later. Don’t worry, I won’t disturb your work. Your Excellency Lu Xiao is a remarkable female, I know that.”

Watching Noah carry on one-sidedly, Lu Xiao didn’t know what to say. After all, he hadn’t confessed his feelings outright, so she couldn’t just shut him down completely.

After watching him leave, Lu Xiao turned to look at Ares.

Ares raised an eyebrow at her, looking as if he was enjoying the show.

She suddenly realized Ares seemed to have gotten mischievous. “You’ll be hearing from me tonight!”

With that, Lu Xiao turned, closed the car door, and strode toward the office building.

Ares’s lips curled slightly. If he had previously suspected that Lu Xiao’s claim of not taking on any other males was just to humor him, after last night, he was willing to give his female master a little more trust.

Teacher Ai Li watched Lu Xiao come in and teased with a smile, “Good morning, dear. You’re simply glowing today. Looks like your side husband is quite capable.”

As she finished, Teacher Ai Li gave her a meaningful wink.

Lu Xiao knew exactly what she meant. Faced with such teasing, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn’t deny it. “Yes, my Ares is indeed very capable!”

Hearing her say that, it was Teacher Ai Li’s turn to be surprised. She had thought Lu Xiao was too thin-skinned to handle such teasing and would turn bright red. She never expected Lu Xiao to take it so well, depriving her of a good show.

Seeing this, Teacher Sherry, who was standing nearby, laughed out loud. “Teacher Ai Li, what did I tell you? You shouldn’t underestimate our Xiao Xiao.”

Teacher Ai Li sighed. “You’re right. I underestimated you. I can’t believe you didn’t even get shy.”

Lu Xiao could see it clearly now—this was just Teacher Ai Li’s wicked sense of humor. “Do I really seem that shy in your eyes, Teacher Ai Li?”

“Isn’t it true? It’s just that you don’t act like a normal female. You give off the vibe of a stuffy old official.”

Hearing the phrase “stuffy old official,” Lu Xiao grimaced. ’Are you saying I’m conservative and boring?’

’I’m not, am I?’

’But thinking about what normal females do—clubbing, shopping, flirting with males—hmm, I really haven’t done any of those things.’

’Okay, maybe Teacher Ai Li has a point. I really am boring.’

“I’ll just take that as a compliment, Teacher Ai Li!”

“Sigh, I’m just curious. If you get a main husband in the future, what will happen to this side husband of yours? You’re spoiling him way too much right now!”

Lu Xiao blinked. “Have you ever considered that Ares might become my main husband one day?”

Hearing this, it was Teacher Ai Li and Teacher Sherry’s turn to be surprised. “What? You’re already planning to promote Ares to main husband?”

“Is Ares really so good that you’d dote on him this much?” Teacher Ai Li didn’t consider herself a particularly amorous female, yet she still had three males at home.

After all, even though she wasn’t amorous, she felt that being with only one person every day would get tiresome and lack novelty.

So she didn’t quite understand why Lu Xiao was so singularly devoted to one person.
