him in a deep voice."Xiao Yao, you say isn't that right" He looked at Fu Xiao Yao, affectionately calling her name for once."Huh Y-yes... yes, Grandfather, we've already made the arrangements." Fu Xi...Fu Xiaoyao felt inexplicably nervous under his gaze, her words stumbling. "Wh...what reason"

"I love you." Lu Hanchuan said seriously, spitting out the three words.

Fu Xiaoyao's mind went blank for a moment, and she was shaken to the core. It took her a while to find her voice, "You... what did you say"

"I said I love you, so I won't divorce!" Lu Hanchuan looked into her eyes.

Thump, thump!

Fu Xiaoyao could clearly hear her own heartbeat, loud and fast, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

He...he actually said he loved her!

Is this a confession

Fu Xiaoyao was both surprised and delighted, not knowing where to put her hands or feet.

Although Shao Si Nian and Song Yi had both told her that they loved her before, she had never truly believed it.

Now, he told her in person, right before her, 'I love you.'

Such an impact, she thought, no woman could resist.

"What are you thinking about" Lu Hanchuan reached out and waved his hand in front of Fu Xiaoyao's face.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flickered, and she instinctively took a step back, seeming a little afraid to look at him. "N-no... I didn't think about anything. What you just said, is it true"

"You think I'm lying to you" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow.

Fu Xiaoyao pressed down on her chest, suppressing the surging emotions within her, and feigned calmness as she said: "Yes, I feel like you're lying to me. You say you love me, so when did you fall in love with me And how did you fall in love with me You should tell me."

Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, I can't say it, but I know that without me realizing it, you've already moved into my heart."

"You expect me to believe that" Fu Xiaoyao bit her lower lip. "As you said, you can't even tell me when you fell in love with me, how can I believe you love me"

"You may not believe it, but I will prove it with time." Lu Hanchuan said solemnly.

"Then let me see how you prove it!" Fu Xiaoyao snorted.

After she finished speaking, she ignored him and pushed open the gate to go inside.

Once inside, she dashed through the room, slamming the door shut. She clutched at her chest, sliding her hands down the door panel until she collapsed to the floor in a squat.

At this moment, she could no longer maintain the composure she had shown before Lu Hanchuan. She buried her head in her knees and cried and laughed at the same time.

What's funny is that Lu Hanchuan actually confessed to her in person. In the past, this would have been the sentence she wanted to hear the most, whether it was true or not, she would definitely be happy for days and nights, unable to sleep, feeling that her silent waiting had finally paid off.

But now...... although she is also very happy, there is more sadness. Why didn't he tell her sooner He chose to tell her only when she was disappointed in him. He said he loved her, how should she respond

If she responded, she'd be apologizing to the child. But if she didn't, she'd be letting down her own feelings. What should she do

The more she thought about it, the more suppressed her emotions became. Finally, Fu Xiaoyao burst into tears.

Aunt Song stood outside the door, listening to her sobs, worry etched on her face. She quickly set down what she was doing and went into the courtyard to find Lu Hanchuan, "Mr. "

Lu Hanchuan was on the phone, and when he heard her voice, he slightly raised his hand to make a gesture asking her to wait a moment, indicating that he would talk to her later.

Aunt Song probably guessed that this phone call was important, even though she was worried about Fu Xiaoyao, she could only wait temporarily for now.

After waiting for about two minutes, Lu Hanchuan put away his phone and turned to face her, "What did you call me for just now"

"It wasn't me, it was the madam," Aunt Song pointed inside.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes sank, "What happened to her"

"Madam cried, she cried very sadly, Mister please go and see her quickly," urged Aunt Song.

Lu Hannan frowned slightly, "Why is she crying"

"I don't know that." Aunt Song shook her head.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, stopped asking questions, and strode directly into the room in three strides and two steps.

Standing in the doorway, he first twisted the doorknob, but found that the door wouldn't budge!

Realizing that the door had been locked by Fu Xiaoyao, Lu Hanchuan's handsome face darkened, "Fu Xiaoyao, open the door!"

He knocked on the door twice.

Fu Xiaoyao raised her head, casually wiped her eyes with her sleeve and stood up, opening the door.

"Were you just crying" Lu Hanchuan looked at her.

Fu Xiaoyao sniffed, her voice choked with emotion as she murmured in agreement.

"Tell me, why are you crying" Lu Hanchuan reached out and pinched her chin, lifting her face up.

She had a flushed face, her eyes were also red-rimmed, and tears hung on her eyelashes, still wet. She looked pitiful, making one want to tease her spitefully.

Looking at Fu Xiaoyao like this, Lu Hanchuan's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and a heat rose within him, restless and surging.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't notice the man's strangeness. She took his hand away from her chin and replied coldly, "I just cried because I thought of some sad things. Mr. Lu, what do you need from me"

Her cold tone and the address "Mr. Lu," were like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing Lu Hanchuan's burning thoughts completely.

He pursed his thin lips, his voice laced with obvious displeasure. "I've said it before, we're still husband and wife, you don't need to call me Mr. Lu, just as you did before, so you do now."

"But I think that nickname is quite nice," Fu Xiaoyao refused to change.

Lu Hanchuan stared at her with a cold face.

Fu Xiaoyao felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively wanted to take a step back.

But just as she took a step back, she was pulled into the man's arms.

"Ugh..." Fu Xiaoyao groaned, her shoulder aching from the impact.

"Where did you bump into" Lu Hanchuan asked her, looking down.

Fu Xiaoyao refused to speak, struggling to get out of his arms.

However, Lu Hanchuan didn't let her go, instead pulling her closer. "With so much energy to struggle, it seems you didn't hit anywhere."

As soon as she heard this, Fu Xiaoyao was immediately furious and struggled even harder, "Mr. Lu, let me go!"

Lu Hanchuan remained unmoved, letting her move about in his arms.

Looking at her struggling helplessly in his arms, fuming with anger, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and his mood improved slightly. “If you want me to let go, just call my name!”

"No!" Fu Xiaoyao refused without hesitation.

"Are you sure" Lu Hanchuan wasn't disappointed. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao caught it, her heart skipped a beat, “You... what do you want to do”

Often when he wears such an expression or speaks in a rhetorical tone, it means he has some plan brewing in his mind.

He wouldn't try to threaten her again, would he

As she thought about this, Fu Xiaoyao became uneasy. Her breathing grew heavier, and her eyes darted back and forth nervously.

Lu Hanchuan saw her nervousness and chuckled softly, “I don’t want to do anything, but if you move again, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do.”

"What do you mean" Fu Xiaoyao was a little taken aback.

"Guess." Lu Hanchuan leaned in close to her ear and blew a puff of hot air.

Fu Xiaoyao immediately shrank her neck. She wasn't stupid, she could definitely feel his obvious flirtation. Coupled with what he had just said, there was nothing more for her to misunderstand. In an instant, her face turned red as if it had been splashed with blood, "You... you..."

She stared at you for half a day and didn't say a word.

The curvature of Lü Hánchuan's lips grew deeper, "What about me"course it's true." Joe's assistant nodded.Fu Xiaoyao let out a big sigh of relief, her spirits instantly lifted. “That’s great.”"Fu Secretary, don't get too excited just yet." Qiao Assistant's smile g...
