My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

"Xan, even though I've been in the lab for the past six months, your mom's been filling me in on your situation. Entering the entertainment industry, starring in hit dramas, appearing on variety shows, surpassing top stars, kicking scumbags to the curb, and finding a billionaire boyfriend-you're living life of a winner straight out of a feel-good novell"

"And let's not even start on your boyfriend. Handsome, wealthy, and with a voice that could melt hearts! Not to mention how he dotes on you. You're living such a happy life!"

As Eloise spoke, she glanced over at Orion and was immediately struck again, "Look! He hasn't left yet. That look he's giving you is giving me goosebumps!"

Xanthea turned to see Orion standing by the car, his reluctant and affectionate gaze filling her heart with warmth. Indeed, she was felt very happy.

"Ellie, looks can be deceiving. You shouldn't be so superficial."

"As if you're not. Have you forgotten the days we used to spy on handsome guys with binoculars? Hey Xan, does your boyfriend have any brothers, cousins, anything?"

Eloise rubbed her hands together eagerly. "Introduce me! I don't need someone as handsome as him, even enough!"

"Well." Xanthea pondered, "He doesn't have brothers, but he has a relative who looks quite similar to him. At least a solid 50-60% resemblance."

"His nephew." Xanthea kept a straight face, "He's five years old now. Give it another thirteen years, and you can make your move. I'll help you then." "Xan, ,how dare you tease me!"

"Haha."

The two chased and played all the

way home, while Susanna indulgently shook her head and called them to ead dinner.

"Xan, actually, I came over with a mission in mind."

Xanthea: "A mission?"

"Yep." Eloise nodded, her expression becoming serious, "Professor Fred is starting a major experiment after the New Year. It's something you were very interested in during university. He highly values you and hopes you can pass the exarn to join the research institute as a researcher and participate in the experiment."

"A researcher?"

"Exactly. Sylvia and I have been in the institute for nearly a year and we're still assistants in Professor Fred's Fred's team. But now, he's willing to entrust

the new project entirely to you. It shows how much he respects and trusts you. I also hope you can participate in the experiment, as it will greatly increase our chances of success, but of course,"
