He was always a light sleeper, waking at the slightest sound.She was a living person, staring at him with wide eyes. It would be strange if he didn't react.But I didn't expect her to be so easily star...Mrs. Chen chuckled softly, "Don't you see That girl from the Qi family deliberately approached your wife to provoke her."

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes, "Actually, I know..."

"Huh" Mrs. Chen was stunned. "You know"

"Yes." Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip. "She only greeted me at first, then she brought up the thing I cared about most on her own, so how could I not get angry Later, after calming down, just thinking about it, I knew she did it on purpose."

Mrs. Chen was now somewhat surprised, "Since you know, why did you still do it"

Fu Xiaoyao clenched her hand tightly, "Because I just said, she mentioned the thing I care about most."

Even so, you're still too impulsive. Have you thought about what this might do to you" Mrs. Chen asked her.

"I didn't have time to think much at the time," Fu Xiaoyao shook her head.

"Oh…" Mrs. Chen sighed, "Let me tell you, if you don't know when to use your hands, people at a banquet will first think of you as an uncouth shrew, understand"

"I understand, but I don't regret hitting her." Fu Xiaoyao said stubbornly.

"Madam Chen shook her head helplessly, "Darling, you're still too young."

"Speaking of which, she turned to Lu Hanchuan, "Right now, many people at the banquet saw that Little Fu was taken away by you. They probably guessed Little Fu's identity, so Little Fu's reputation must have been damaged. Hanchuan, what are you going to do"

Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples, "In the charity auction afterwards, I'll use her name to bid on a single item."

"In my name" Fu Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.

I don't understand what this has to do with her reputation being damaged.

But Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, understanding Lu Hanchuan's meaning, "You want to create a charitable image for Xiao Fu, to cover up her inappropriate behavior at the banquet"

"Not bad." Lu Hanchuan nodded.

Mrs. Chen took a sip of tea, admiringly looking at him, "Hanchuan, you're quick-witted, this is indeed a good plan."

"Thank you, Mrs. Chen, for the compliment. We'll go out first then." After Lu Hanchuan finished speaking, he took Fu Xiaoyao's hand and walked out of the room.

On the road, Fu Xiaoyao felt ashamed in her heart. Her two hands kept digging into each other, her fingers were all red, “I'm sorry...”

"Apologize for what" Lu Hanchuan glanced at her.

She kept her head down, her whole being radiating dejection. “Actually, you don’t have to restore my reputation, and I don’t regret doing this. You can distance yourself from me, so they won’t laugh at you because of me.”

The interests of a wealthy couple are essentially intertwined. If the wife makes a joke that goes wrong, others might ridicule her husband because of it.

And Lu Hanchuan was such a proud person, how could he stand being ridiculed by others.

"Are you concerned about me" Lu Hanchuan reached out and lifted Fu Xiaoyao's head, looking deeply into her eyes, "In the business world, I've heard all the insults they muttered behind my back. Am I afraid of their petty ridicule"

"But..." Fu Xiaoyao frowned, "after all, I still caused you to lose face."

"It's not your fault." Lu Hanchuan looked in the direction of the resting room, his face somewhat gloomy.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, and she tentatively asked, "Are you saying it was Qi Ya who did this"

"Isn't that so" Lu Hanchuan asked back.

A hint of surprise flashed in Fu Xiaoyao's eyes, "Yes, but I'm surprised you'd recognize her."

"What's the surprise" Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled cryptically, "Of course, it's because of Qi Ya's position in your heart. In your mind, Qi Ya has always been a kind and pure girl. Logically speaking, you shouldn't believe she would do these things."

Hearing this, Lu Hanchuan frowned, a hint of displeasure in his heart, "In your eyes, do I value Qi Ya so much"

"It's not what I see, because that's the truth. The past two months, Qi Ya was the one who called me and got angry, and after you heard her one-sided complaint, you immediately believed she was the victim and that I was bullying her..."

"I'm so sorry." Lu Hanchuan suddenly turned around and hugged Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened, "Sorry"

"Yes, I apologize for my actions back then. At the time, I failed to see the true nature of Qi Ya. My impression of her remained stuck at the very beginning." Lu Hanchuan gently bumped his chin against her head and whispered softly.

"Perhaps you never truly knew her," Fu Xiaoyao said, closing her eyes.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flashed a glimmer. "Maybe, it won't happen again in the future."

"Really won't" Fu Xiaoyao was somewhat unconvinced.

Although he said last time that Qi Yiai didn't love him and was actually using him, he felt anger and resentment towards her for it.

But she could still see that Qi Ya still held a little place in his heart.

After all, Bai Yueguang is still Bai Yueguang. As long as Bai Yueguang doesn't do something that truly disappoints him, there will always be a trace of affection for Qi Ya in his heart. Even if that affection isn't love, it would be friendship. So she didn't believe him unless he truly despised Qi Ya and had no feelings for her whatsoever, then she would believe it.

But Lu Hánchuan mistook Fu Xiaoyáo's disbelief for her lingering doubts about his past protection of Qí Yǎ. This left him feeling a little dejected, "It's okay, you'll slowly come to believe me."

As they were speaking, the break room arrived as well.

Lu Hanchuan went in with a calm face, Qi Ya timidly stood up from the sofa, "Hanchuan, you're back."

Lu Hanchuan didn't respond, walking straight towards her. "You said it was me who made you return to China"

"Yeah." Qi Ya nodded, "Didn't you already spread the word, saying you wouldn't mind that thing So I came back, Hanchuan, I miss you so much."

She opened her arms wide, ready to embrace Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, and stepped aside.

Qi Ya missed her shot and stood there awkwardly, her hands still outstretched, frozen in place and forgetting to bring them back.

At this scene, Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This laughter fell on Qi Ya's ears, it was a naked mockery.

Qi Ya glared at her with venom in her eyes, then quickly retracted it, feigning innocence as she looked at Lu Hanchuan, "Hanchuan, what... how..."

"You go out first." Lu Hánchuan ignored Qi Ya and directly said to Fu Xiayao, "I have some things I want to talk to her alone about."

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, then at Qi Ya, and finally nodded, "Okay."

After she left, Lu Hanchuan sat down on the sofa and looked at the woman opposite him with cold eyes, "At the banquet, you deliberately angered Fu Xiaoyao, causing her to hit you. What was your purpose"

Qi Ya trembled upon hearing this, "You..."

"You're saying, how did I know, right" Lu Hanchuan looked up.

Qi Ya's lips trembled, "Since you know now, I won't hide it from you. Yes, it was intentional. But why did I do this Don't you understand, Han Chuan Because she doesn't deserve you! A little bit of verbal provocation made her resort to violence in this situation. It shows how vulgar her true nature is!"

“She still has much to learn in terms of behavior, but you say she's not good enough for me Then who is You” Lu Hanchuan sneered with a dismissive hum.

Qi Yating puffed out her chest, "Yes, only I. Whether it's family background, appearance, or personal honor, Han Chuan, I am a thousand times better than Fu Xiaoyao. Therefore, only I am suitable for you."

"You said that, does Roland know" Lu Hanchuan crossed his legs and looked at her playfully.r a while, but couldn't come up with a result. She simply stopped thinking about it and quietly put away the bowls and chopsticks to wash in the bathroom.She believes that with Lü Hánchuan's abilities...
