Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female Chapter 63: Rejection

Sensing Ares’s displeasure, Lu Xiao gently patted his arm and gave him a reassuring smile before turning to Noah. "You just want to thank ?"

’She hadn’t actually expected Noah to be so persistent,’ but then she rembered how he had pestered Lu Huan, and it made sense. ’This guy must just have an obsessive personality.’

At her words, an awkward blush crept onto Noah’s face. "I... I want to beco your side husband... A husband would be fine too."

As he spoke, Noah subconsciously glanced at Ares. ’If soone of Ares’s status is only Lu Xiao’s side husband,’ he probably thought, ’it might be difficult for soone like to achieve that.’ But being a regular husband would be fine too. As long as he could stay by Lu Xiao’s side, he would be satisfied.

Hearing this, Lu Xiao wasn’t surprised. In fact, she felt a sense of relief.

Now that he had said it out loud, she could reject him.

"I’m sorry, but I’m not taking any more husbands or side husbands."

"Why? Are you rejecting because you think I have no accomplishnts or abilities?"

Lu Xiao shook her head. "It’s none of that. I simply don’t like you, so I don’t want to accept you. Do you understand? If you do, then go ho. At your age, you shouldn’t be thinking about these things. The proper thing to do is focus on your studies."

Noah was about the sa age as Lu Huan, having only recently co of age.

’He hasn’t even experienced life yet, and he’s already thinking about becoming soone’s side husband or husband.’ Lu Xiao found it sowhat incomprehensible.

In Lu Xiao’s opinion, if she were a male in this world, she would never even think about getting married. She’d be happier alone, even if it ant growing old by herself.

Noah looked utterly devastated. But Lu Xiao had been so blunt she hadn’t left him even a sliver of room for hope or fantasy.

If she had rejected him simply for having no accomplishnts, no abilities, or for being too young, he could have worked on those things.

But if she simply didn’t like him, there was nothing he could do.

Because he didn’t know how to make soone like him.

Seeing Noah’s devastated expression, Lu Xiao said, "Go on ho and focus on your studies. Your life has just begun. Don’t mind what I said today. One day, you’ll find soone and the feelings will be mutual. Don’t co looking for anymore. You don’t want to be a source of trouble for , do you?"

That last sentence completely crushed any lingering hope Noah might have had.

Without waiting for Noah’s reply, Lu Xiao pulled Ares by the hand back to the hover car. As soon as the door shut, she patted her chest. "What do I have to do to stop people from randomly showing up to ask this? Ares, do you think I should wear a sign that says ’Not seeking males’?"

Ares chuckled at Lu Xiao’s reaction. It ward his heart, but he also felt she was sacrificing too much.

"Actually, you could..."

"Stop right there, Ares. If you’re about to suggest I accept those males who want to be my side husband, husband, or even main husband, then don’t bother. I’m not going to change my mind."

’My ho really doesn’t need that many people.’

’Just the two of us, and Ares, is perfect.’

At her words, Ares simply replied, "Alright. I won’t bring it up again."

Lu Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder. "That’s worthy of praise."

Ares didn’t really understand why Lu Xiao was so different from other females. She didn’t seem to have much passion for males, yet she treated them with kindness.

But at the sa ti, it was a kindness kept at a distance.

It wasn’t like other females, who, no matter how devoted they acted or how aloof they seed, would almost always accept any male who ca knocking.

Because adding a male to the household wasn’t just about adding another person; it was about adding their wealth.

But Lu Xiao had rejected every single male who wanted to join her family.

He felt incredibly lucky. He was moved, and it made him want to work even harder to give Lu Xiao a better life. He had to show her that she hadn’t made the wrong choice.

Lu Xiao had no idea what was going through Ares’s mind. She was busy finalizing the nu for the next day on her terminal. "Teacher Ai Li and the others are coming over tomorrow," she said to Ares. "Help look at these dishes. Do you think it’s enough? There will be four of them. I was also thinking of making a dessert for after the al."

Ares looked at the list on Lu Xiao’s light screen. She had planned ten different dishes.

"It should be enough."

"That’s good. You’ll have to get up with tomorrow morning, Ares. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t get it all done. Sorry to put you to work."

"It’s no trouble at all. I can handle it myself. You should relax and enjoy the weekend with your friends."

"Absolutely not. They’re my friends, I invited them. How can I just make you do all the work? We can’t do that. It’s more than enough if you just help as my assistant. Next ti you invite friends over, I’ll help you too. This is our ho, Ares. There’s no ’this person should do this’ and ’that person shouldn’t do that’."

"Okay. I understand."

Hearing his response, Lu Xiao happily gave him a hug.

’Ares is really changing more and more,’ she thought. ’He doesn’t kneel at the drop of a hat anymore, or ask to punish him for every little thing.’

’He’s becoming more and more able to be himself around .’

It made Lu Xiao feel as if Ares was truly coming alive.

’I really like this side of Ares.’

’It also proves my guidance was right.’

「Back ho.」

Just as Lu Xiao stepped out of the hover car, she saw a figure lingering by her gate.

At first, she didn’t recognize who it was, until a voice called out from the yard. "Sis, it’s , Lu Huan! Are you back?"

Hearing the na "Lu Huan," Lu Xiao frowned. ’Why isn’t he at school?’ she wondered. ’What is he doing here all of a sudden?’

’Did he get into trouble again?’

Lu Xiao was speechless. She walked over and opened the gate. "What do you want?"

Seeing Lu Xiao’s impatient expression, Lu Huan’s smile faltered. "It’s the weekend tomorrow. I didn’t have anywhere else to go, so I thought I’d co by."

"What do you an you have nowhere to go? Can’t you stay at the school?" Lu Xiao didn’t understand.

"No, that’s not it. It’s just... everyone else went out for the weekend. I didn’t want to go out, but I didn’t want to stay at school either, so I thought I’d stay here. I can help with the chores!" Lu Huan rushed out the last part.

He said it as if he was sure that was what Lu Xiao wanted to hear.

"You didn’t get into trouble again, did you?" Even with his explanation, Lu Xiao didn’t let her guard down.

"No, no! I swear I didn’t this ti. I actually haven’t gone out in a long ti. I don’t even go to bars anymore. Sis, I think you were right. At my age, I really should be focusing on my studies."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao scoffed. "Fine. Get in."

’I’ll listen to what he says, but I’m not going to believe it.’

’After all, the kid had a track record.’

"The sa rule applies. You can stay, but you take care of your own business."

Lu Huan nodded eagerly. "I get it! I won’t be a bother to you or my brother-in-law!"
