Chapter 689: An Encounter Outside the Restroom

, "Scared you"His voice was hoarse and grating, like a dry, empty well.Fu Xiaoyao gradually calmed down, "It's okay, I wasn't really scared, but just now...""Sorry, work has been stressing me out late...Fu Xiaoyao didn't sleep well last night, and now that she was being woken up like this, her temples were throbbing, and her head felt fuzzy and uncomfortable.

She didn't open her eyes, she just rolled over and pushed the man beside her, her voice hazy: "The phone's ringing, answer it quickly."

Lu Hanchuan opened his eyes and reached out to grab his phone. He hung up without even looking, then patted Fu Xiaoyao's back. "No more arguing now, you continue sleeping. I'll go outside and take a call."

"Mm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded randomly, pulled the blanket over her head, and continued to sleep.

Lu Hanchuan got out of bed quietly, picked up the bathrobe from the bedside table and put it on, then walked to the balcony.

Stepping out onto the balcony, a cool breeze swept over him, dispelling all sleepiness.

He then raised his phone, checking the call log to see who had just called him.

Upon seeing this, his brows furrowed instantly and he called back, "Aren't you supposed to be following Han Ling What are you calling me for"

It was Qiao Mu who called.

Qiao Mu helplessly shrugged her shoulders, "Mr. Lu, it was Little Mr. Lu who asked me to contact you."

The man he was referring to, Xiaolu Zong, was Tang Yi.

Now Tang Yi has already changed his name to Lu Hanling, so he is called Xiao Lu Zong by everyone.

"What's going on" Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples.

Qiao Mu lightly coughed and replied: “That’s right, just now Xiao Lu received two invitations, one for Xiao Lu himself, and one for Mr. Lu.”

"What invitation" Lu Hanchuan frowned.

Qiao Mu pushed his glasses back up and replied, "It's an invitation to a banquet. The Jiang family is returning to the country soon. They have already selected a mid-level office building in the city center as their company headquarters, so they sent out invitations to invite managers from major corporations to attend."

To put it simply, the Ginger family just wants to let everyone know they're back and want to make a splash in the circle.

Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips and coldly snorted, "They've made a good calculation. When is the banquet"

"It's still early, next month, because they haven't all returned home yet." Qiao Mu replied.

Lu Hanzhan sneered, "The invitations for next month's banquet are being sent out now How proactive."

"Are you coming, Lu Zong The event is unmissable!" Qiao Mu asked.

Lu Hanchuan raised his chin, "Go, the old master of the Jiang family and my grandfather had a good relationship back then. I can't go without going, just to say hello."

"Understood, I'll go reply now." Qiao Mu nodded.

Lu Hanchuan hummed in response.

After ending the call, he put down his phone and returned to his room, walking towards the large bed.

Walking to the bedside, Lu Hanchuan lowered his head and looked at the woman who was still sleeping soundly on the bed. He leaned in and kissed her face.

The woman stirred, sensing something, and opened her eyes, yawning at the man above her.

"Awake" the man asked, touching her forehead.

"You woke me up," Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes.

She was just dozing off, dreaming when she suddenly felt something wet on her face and woke up.

Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, why don't you take another nap"

"I'm not sleeping anymore." Fu Xiaoyao sat up and shook her head. "Have you finished your phone calls"

"Mm." Lu Hanchuan sat down at the edge of the bed.

Fu Xiaoyao raised her hands in the air and stretched, "Who called"

"Joe."

"What did you say Could something be wrong with the group" Fu Xiaoyao asked, watching him.

If the company needs them, their honeymoon will have to end.

As if he had seen through Fu Xiaoyao's thoughts, Lu Hanchuan chuckled lightly and shook his head. "The company is fine, it's just an invitation to a banquet."

Then he repeated what was said on the phone.

Fu Xiaoyao, hearing it was related to the Jiang family again, just rolled her eyes with little interest, "Do I have to go"

"You are my wife, of course you have to go." Lu Hanchuan nodded.

Fu Xiaoyao laughed, "Okay, I just want to see who this Jiang Nana is."

Lü Hánchuan heard this, chuckled and pinched her nose, "Alright, I'll let you have your fill then. Get up, aren't you hungry"

"I'm hungry, shall we go out for Chinese food" Fu Xiaoyao patted her stomach.

Lu Hanchuan gave her his coat. "Do as you please."

"Thank you, hubby," Fu Xiaoyao giggled and took the clothes, changing into them.

After the couple finished washing up, they held hands and left the hotel to have a Chinese meal in Chinatown.

Two people came to the most luxurious Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. After going in, they found that there were still many people inside, and it seemed like the taste should be good.

"Hello, are you two" A waiter came to the two people and asked with a smile.

In a distant country, hearing the dialect of her hometown, Fu Xiaoyao immediately felt a warmth of kinship. She smiled and nodded in response, "Yes, both of you."

"Were those two in the lobby or a private room" the waiter asked again.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at Lu Hanchuan.

She can sit anywhere, it mainly depends on him.

He's always disliked crowded environments, so he probably wouldn't sit in the lobby.

As expected, Lu Hankan pursed his lips and uttered two words, "Private room."

"Please follow me." The waiter made a gesture of invitation.

Fu Xiaoyao held hands with Lu Hanchuan, walking towards the private room behind her.

Upon entering the private room, a waiter presented us with the menu.

Lu Hankan didn't even look, and directly handed it to Fu Xiaoyao, letting her order.

Fu Xiaoyao wasn't polite either, she opened the menu and started looking through it.

At this time, Lu Hanchuan suddenly stood up.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, "What's wrong"

"Go to the restroom." Lu Hanchuan replied.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, "Then you go quickly, I'll wait for you here."

"Okay," Lu Hanchuan replied, getting up and leaving the private room to head to the restroom.

After using the restroom, he washed his hands and walked out.

Just as I reached the outside of the restroom, a sudden flurry of footsteps came rushing toward me.

The owner of the footsteps was a very beautiful woman, but at this moment her expression was terrified. She ran while occasionally glancing back, as if someone was chasing her.

Suddenly, the woman saw Lu Hanzchuan coming out of the bathroom and wiping his hands with a handkerchief. Her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior. She rushed to Lu Hanzchuan's side, hugged him, and buried her head in his arms.

Lu Hanchuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms, his face as dark as thunder. "Let go!"

The woman didn't let go, she raised her head. After being stunned by his handsome face, she quickly regained her composure and pleaded, "Sir, please help me, someone is chasing me."

"That's your business, I said it before, let go!" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes dangerously and said coldly.

The woman shook her head, still refusing to let go. "Sir, please don't be so heartless. We're from the same country, for heaven's sake! Help me this once, I beg you!"

"I said it before, that's your business, I have no obligation to help you. Since you won't let go, don't blame me." Lu Hanchuan sneered, and was about to push the woman away.

Suddenly, a woman's hand reached out, and footsteps came again, very chaotic, several times.

Soon, those footsteps grew closer, and several tall men emerged from the corner.

Seeing this with the corner of her eye, the woman was so frightened that all the color drained from her face. She clenched her palms, a determined glint flashing in her eyes. Then, she wrapped her arms around Lu Hanchuan's neck, tiptoed up, and prepared to kiss him.

Lu Hanchuan's pupils shrank. He never expected this woman to be so bold. Not only did she stop him here, hug him, but now she was kissing him!

It's really awful.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he suddenly grabbed the woman's face.t all. He looked very nervous. "Mr., what's wrong with you"The wife has already had an accident, and her condition is currently unknown.She really didn't want her husband to fall down too."I'm fine, j...
