it sounds like I bullied you." 。" She took a tissue and stuffed it into Fu Xiaoyao's hand, "Alright, hurry up and wipe your eyes, time for work." 。" "Hmm" 。Fu Xiaoyao nodded, then quickly adj...Fu Xiao Yao nodded lightly, "Yes."

"Aren't you afraid that Mr. Lu will take the person to your villa if you go back now" Tang Yi also stood up.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled faintly, "It shouldn't be. And after these few hours, I've completely calmed down and thought about it carefully. I feel like this might be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding" Tang Yi looked at her with a subtle expression. "You think their embrace was a misunderstanding, or that Lu Zong's idea of divorce was a misunderstanding"

Fu Xiaoyao drooped her eyelids, “Perhaps all of them.”

"How do you say that"

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath and simply explained her thoughts, "The Lu family is currently in a precarious situation. Someone has teamed up with the Qi family to bring down the Lu family. Hanchuan did what he did to Qi Ya because he might be trying to find Qi Dongming through her, then uncover the person behind Qi Dongming all at once."

"You really think so What if we find out it's not in the end" Tang Yi asked her.

Fu Xiaoyao's heart clenched, but she replied confidently: "I believe in Hanchuan. If he really wanted to be with Qi Ya, he wouldn't wait until now."

"Well then, I understand. I'll take you back." Tang Yi turned the car key.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled gratefully, "Thank you."

Then, she picked up the coat from the back of the chair and walked out of the coffee shop side by side with him.

When I returned to the villa district, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Fu Xiaoyao stood outside the villa, holding the key card in her hand, but she didn't swipe it for a long time.

In the end, Aunt Song who was still taking out the trash saw her and hurriedly came over to open the door, "Madam"

"Aunt Song," Fu Xiaoyao replied with a strained smile.

Aunt Song was so happy, she almost cried. “Madam, you’re finally back! Where did you go this afternoon”

Fu Xiaoyao walked into the villa, "I just wandered around outside."

"You've been out for so long, wandering around aimlessly. Do you know how worried I was You just left the company without a word, it scared me half to death." Aunt Song poured her a cup of hot tea.

After receiving it, Fu Xiaoyao said thank you and then said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Song, for worrying you."

"I don't worry much, it's my husband..."

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, "What's wrong with him"

"He's been looking for your wife all this while, but unfortunately your phone is switched off, so he couldn't locate you. After finding out that you got into Tang Yi's car, he went to the Tang Corporation and hasn't come back yet." Aunt Song replied.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, "I understand."

"Ma'am, why don't you give your husband a call and let him know you're back" Auntie Song looked at her.

Fu Xiaoyao pretended not to hear, silently sipping her tea.

Aunt Song sighed, understanding that she was still bothered by what happened during the day. She didn't say much and took out her own phone. "I'll call Mr. right now."

As if on cue, she dialed Lu Hanchuan's number.

After receiving the phone call, Lu Hanchuan rushed back quickly.

As soon as he stepped into the living room, he immediately asked, “Where have you been”

Though his voice was cold, there was a hint of concern hidden within it.

No one knew, nor could they find her, how anxious he was.

Seeing her safe and sound, he both breathed a sigh of relief and felt a surge of anger.

She got into another man's car without a word, didn't even answer his calls, and came back so late. She didn't seem nervous at all.

"I just sat around outside for a bit." Fu Xiaoyao replied casually.

Lu Hchuan pursed his thin lips, "Why didn't you answer my phone"

"Don't want to take it." Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes.

She was telling the truth. She was in a rage at the time, her mind was a mess, all she wanted was to get away from him, how could she possibly answer his call

Lu Hchuan didn't expect Fu Xiaoyao to answer so directly. He was taken aback, "Don't want to take it Fu Xiaoyao, have you gotten more capable"

Fu Xiaoyao gave a self-deprecating smile, "I haven't improved much, you don't need to say that. Instead, when you come back, you question me like this, do you think you're right"

Lu Hanchuan frowned, not just because of her words, but also because of her address to him.

She called him Mr. Lu again.

The last time she called him that was when she threatened to divorce him.

What is she trying to cause trouble for this time

"Then tell me, where did I go wrong You suddenly ran away and got into someone else's car, leaving me unable to find you. Shouldn't I ask" Lu Hanchuan clenched his fist.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, "I didn't say it wasn't okay to ask, but before asking these things, President Lu, have you ever thought about why I ran away and why I wouldn't answer your phone"

She looked at him with reproachful eyes.

"Because I was talking with Qi Ya in the office" Lu Hanchuan said, his face calm and handsome.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, "That's right, don't you have any explanation for me about this What about this!"

She took out her phone from her bag, found the picture Tang Yi had sent her, and then enlarged it and held it in front of him. "How do you explain this Don't tell me she fell and you were helping her!"

Lu Hanchuan looked at the photo, stunned for a moment, then his handsome face darkened completely, "I was indeed helping her, but how did you get this picture"

"You don't need to worry about this," Fu Xiaoyao put down her phone, a hint of mockery on her pretty face. "You said you were helping her, is this help This is clearly an embrace."

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, “Don’t you trust me”

Fu Xiaoyao laughed, a mocking smile. "Believe How do you expect me to believe"

Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

He wasn't lying, he was indeed helping Qi Ya. Back then, that woman, Qi Ya, didn't know how she got into his company. After finding him, she just rushed towards him.

He moved aside, intending to avoid her, but she unexpectedly fell to the ground. He instinctively reached out to pull her up, and she actually grabbed him back, holding him tightly. As for him hugging Qi Ya, that was simply absurd.

That's just him trying to pull away from Qi Ya, but he hadn't pulled away before being slapped down. That's why people would think he was holding Qi Ya when they saw it. So the person taking the photo knows exactly what they're doing: making Fu Xiaoyao misunderstand that he and Qi Ya are together.

"Why aren't you speaking" Fu Xiaoyao saw that Lu Hanchuan remained silent, her heart sinking.

Lu Hanchuan rubbed his aching temples, "There's nothing more to say, and I've already said what needed to be said. I'm with Fu Qiya, it's you who doesn't believe me."

"You..." Fu Xiaoyao was exasperated.

Is there anything to say

He explained it to her like that, just saying he was only helping Qi Ya and then stopped. He even said it was because she didn't believe him, so he just brushed her off like that

And wasn't it because she was unwilling to believe him He simply hadn't explained well enough, but if he had just explained a little more, perhaps she would have believed him.

"Alright, you're on Qi Ya's side now, then So what about your conversation How did you say it Do you really want to divorce me" Fu Xiaoyao closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down and asked again.

Lu Hanchuan poured himself a glass of water, moistened his parched throat, and then replied, "Nothing. That was just me trying to get information, I was deliberately saying that."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flashed brightly for a moment before disappearing. "Empty flattery What kind of information do you want to extract"

"Qi Dongming." Lu Hanchuan slowly uttered three words, without explaining too much.

But Fu Xiaoyao had already understood. The restless heart suddenly calmed down, "So, I guessed right"

She muttered.

Lu Hanchuan didn't hear, turning his head to look at her, "What are you saying"

Fu Xiaoyao awkwardly turned her head, avoiding his gaze, "It's nothing, I was just thinking, why did you chase me back then"out his name, taking a step towards him."You're back" Lu Hanchuan glanced at her."Hmm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded, then followed his gaze back to the ICU.Tang Yi lay in the hospital bed, hooked up to a respir...
