C148 Huo Lingxiao You Shameless Hooligan!

The medical team behind Dr. Miao initially wanted to push through and ask Yuvyuv for some detailed advice. However, they were taken aback by the Young General's unexpectedly close behavior with Yuvyuv. They knew well that the Young General had always been indifferent to women, never allowing any female to come within a foot and a half of him. But now—he was personally helping this young medical prodigy out of her protective gear. Such intimate behavior was unheard of from their typically reserved Young General.

Dr. Miao was the first to snap out of it, his mind entirely focused on Yuvyuv's brilliant methods for eliminating bacteria. The man, in his forties, approached Yuvyuv with an expression of pure admiration, completely oblivious to the icy glare from the Young General. Dr. Miao's voice was filled with uncontainable excitement as he tried to recruit her.

"Young lady, are you interested in becoming a real military doctor here?" Dr. Miao offered her the best deal, enticing her with, "If you agree to join us, I promise to request a second-class military doctor position for you, at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Would you be willing?"

The other military doctors behind him were visibly shocked. One of them muttered under his breath, "A second-class military doctor, that's a legitimate Lieutenant Colonel rank."

Though a hint of jealousy crept into their hearts, they couldn't deny the young woman's extraordinary talent. Moreover, they admired their director's willingness to put his pride aside and make such a significant offer. Yet, they couldn't help but feel a bit anxious for him, noticing his complete focus on the young prodigy, seemingly unaware of the Young General's dark and intimidating expression.

They suddenly remembered that this young woman seemed to be the assistant to their young general.

"Whoa!"

Several military doctors gasped simultaneously. One couldn't help but whisper, "The director's in big trouble this time. He's blatantly risking his neck by trying to poach the young general's assistant!"

The group exchanged glances, and finally, one who couldn't stand by any longer, fearing the director might get into serious trouble, quickly ran forward to pull him away.

Dr. Miao was forcibly dragged away by several military doctors, angrily shouting for them to let go, warning that their lab would lose a genius if they didn't.

Outside the cold storage, a military doctor kindly reminded, "Director, wake up! Have you forgotten? That young woman, no matter how talented, is still the young general's assistant. Do you really want to risk your life by trying to poach her right in front of him?"

The voices outside the cold storage gradually faded away, indicating that Dr. Miao had finally been persuaded to leave.

At that moment, Yuvyuv was sitting in a soft chair, catching her breath. Conducting experiments, especially bacterial ones, was incredibly exhausting, both mentally and physically. It required complete focus, with no room for error, or the entire experiment could fail.

"Yuvyuv, you worked hard today." Huo Lingxiao gently patted her head, his voice carrying a tone of affection.

Yuvyuv shook her head slightly, always feeling like this guy treated her like a pet whenever he patted her head. She sighed softly, raised an eyebrow, and suddenly reached out her small hand, her upturned face showing a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Sixth Master, you won't regret the condition you promised earlier, right? I want you to approve a release document right now."

Inwardly, Yuvyuv was skeptical, knowing that this guy could be quite fickle. Who knew if he would go back on his promise later?

"Hmph, she's just being cautious before being noble."

"Well, okay, although she tends to stay close to being cautious, being noble is exhausting, so let's skip that."

"Smack!" Huo Lingxiao's firm hand swatted away the little girl's hand in front of him. His dark eyes fixed intently on the sly little fox-like girl. "Why do you want a condemned prisoner?"

Yuvyuv pouted, knowing this guy wouldn't be easy to fool.

Her big eyes sparkled as she casually came up with a reason, her face serious. "Oh, that person saved me once. I can't just be ungrateful, right? I'm always about doing the right thing."

She spoke with a proud little puff of her chest.

She puffed out her chest to bolster her stance.

But soon, she noticed the man's gaze drifting down to her chest and heard Huo Lingxiao chuckle, "Oh, quite impressive!"

Yuvyuv's face flushed crimson.

This jerk! She was talking about doing the right thing, and he was staring at her chest, saying "impressive!"

"Huo Lingxiao, you shameless rogue!" Yuvyuv's face burned with embarrassment and anger, wishing she could strangle the jerk in front of her.

"What? Didn't I say something nice? I'm complimenting you, and you're being ungrateful!" Huo Lingxiao chuckled deeply, his voice vibrating with laughter.

He lifted her up and settled her onto his lap, taking the chair she had been sitting on.

Their position instantly became more intimate.

Yuvyuv let out a startled cry, quickly raising her small hand to slap Huo Lingxiao. "You jerk, put me down! Someone might see us."

"What are you afraid of? You're my woman. There's nothing to fear if people see us."

Huo Lingxiao laughed with a hint of mischief, his long fingers gently grasping Yuvyuv's delicate chin as he leaned in closer.

Yuvyuv spoke with a cold edge, "Yes, I'm his woman, the little mistress he keeps. I'm not afraid of being seen. Let everyone see clearly that the Fifth Miss of the Ye family has thrown away her good reputation. A proper young lady, shamelessly becoming the Young General's mistress. How delightful that sounds, right?"

Her words dripped with sarcasm, and her face was pale with cold anger.

She was fed up with this confined life!

The man before her was too domineering. What did he take her for? Clearly just a private plaything he could toy with whenever he was pleased.

A private plaything—just a lover kept in the shadows.

The more Yuvyuv thought about it, the more disgusted she felt, as if her future was shrouded in darkness.

She hadn't come back to life to be Huo Lingxiao's mistress.

She had important things to do, like protecting her entire family, and being a mistress was not part of her plan.

She was busy, so why wouldn't this devil let her go?

Yuvyuv's eyes were filled with gloom.

"Who gave you permission to speak such nonsense? When did I ever say you were my mistress, hmm?" Huo Lingxiao's dark, handsome face loomed closer, and he bit down hard on Yuvyuv's pale lips in a punishing manner.
