-headed The Qi family isn’t short on money, can’t they afford a nurse When did it become your turn, a married man, to take care of her”"This is different, Xiaoya needs me." Lu Hanchuan said in a deep..."I know, but this way, Kanchuan will definitely hate me." Fu Xiaoyao answered with vacant eyes.

Aunt Song originally wanted to say no, but when she thought of Lu Hanchuan's temperament, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Madam, what shall we do now" Auntie Song sighed and asked.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, forcing herself to muster a bit of energy. "I don't know either, just let things take their course. Meet the enemy head-on and deal with the water as it comes."

"This is the only way, but Madam, you must be careful. Qi Ya, that woman, is not someone to be trifled with. She has a very venomous heart." Aunt Song cautioned.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, "Mmm, I will."

She let go of Aunt Song and came out of her arms.

"Come on, dear. Let's go have dinner. Don't think about it too much." Aunt Song patted Fu Xiaoyao's hair.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled and followed her downstairs.

After lunch, Fu Xiaoyao sat on the sofa watching TV and digesting her meal.

At that moment, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside the villa.

Fu Xiaoyao turned down the TV volume and listened carefully for a few seconds. She recognized that it was Lu Hanchuan's car sound from his usual driving. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she immediately put down the remote control, got up, and went outside to greet him.

"Hanchuan, you're back." Fu Xiaoyao greeted the man who got out of the car with a smile.

But the man didn't give her a good look. "I heard from Qiao Mu that you weren't feeling well today"

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flickered slightly, "That's right."

"Get in the car." Lu Hanchuan opened the car door.

Fu Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, "Where to"

"Hospital," Lu Hanchuan slowly uttered two words, "Aren't you feeling unwell I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up."

"I'm not going!" Fu Xiaoyao blurted out without hesitation.

Her such big reaction caused Lü Hánchuan's suspicion, he narrowed his eyes, "Not going"

"Well... I just have a minor ailment, no need to go to the hospital for a check-up." Fu Xiaoyao said evasively.

If she goes to the hospital, then everyone will know she's pregnant.

How will she surprise him then

So the hospital is absolutely out of the question!

"Fu Xiaoyao!" Lu Hanchuan let go of the car door, his eyes coldly fixed on her. "Are you sure you're not going"

"Mm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

She was certain.

Lu Hanzhan suddenly sneered, "Fu Xiaoyao, I think you're lying again, right"

"What" Fu Xiaoyao's expression was startled.

Lu Hanchuan wrapped his arms around her, "Two days ago you took leave, the reason was also that you were unwell, but you ended up going out with your friends. Today you took leave again, using the same excuse. I came back specially to take you to the hospital, but you refused. If it's not a lie, then what is it"

"I..." Fu Xiaoyao's mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't retort.

He is right, she did lie.

Today she wasn't feeling unwell, but she overslept.

But she didn't dare say it, because if she did, he would definitely be even angrier.

Lu Hanchuan saw Fu Xiaoyao lower her head and unable to answer, his face became even worse. "I was right, wasn't I Fu Xiaoyao, if you don't want to work, just tell me, there's no need to play this game!"

"No, Hanchuan, I want to go to work, only because..."

"Because what" Lu Hanchuan stared intently at her eyes.

She bit her lip, trying to speak several times but couldn't bring herself to answer.

Just when she was at a loss and hesitating whether to tell the truth, Song Yi came out of the villa. "Sir, don't blame Madam," she said. "Today's leave request wasn't Madam's fault. I called Qiao Mu myself and told him that Madam was unwell."

"Aunt Song..." Fu Xiaoyao looked at her with grievance.

Auntie Song smiled faintly, "It's alright, Madam."

"Mm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

Lu Hanchuan glared at the two of them, "Why did you ask for leave for her And with such a lie!"

She can ask for leave, he's not refusing.

Even if she was perfectly healthy and said she wanted to rest at home for a day, he would let her.

But he couldn't accept her lying, once wasn't enough, she did it twice!

"Sir, I didn't lie, and Madam didn't either. I asked for leave for Madam because she wasn't feeling well, and the reason for that was you, Mr. Lu." Aunt Song looked at Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan frowned, "Me"

"Yes, sir, you left last night without a word, not even an explanation. Madam worried all night about you. After you left, she couldn't sleep at all until dawn when she managed to take a short nap. Don't you think it was your fault, sir" Aunt Song accused him.

Lu Hanchuan's thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. Instead, he looked at Fu Xiaoyao, "You haven't slept"

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes, "Well, I can't sleep."

"How could Madam possibly sleep, Sir You really are something else! If you're going somewhere, couldn't you at least tell Madam where you're going" Aunt Song looked furious.

Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips, saying nothing.

Last night, in the middle of the night, he received a call from the hospital saying that Xiaoya was emotionally unstable and refused treatment.

He was worried about Xiaoya, so he decided to go and see her. He originally planned to leave quietly, but unexpectedly woke up Fu Xiaoyao.

He didn't know why, but when she asked him where he was going, the first thing that popped into his head was to avoid answering. That's why he just walked away without saying a word.

"Alright, Aunt Song," Fu Xiaoyao tugged on Aunt Song's arm, signaling her to stop talking.

Aunt Song didn't dare to really scold Lu Hanchuan too much, fearing she might anger him and he would take his anger out on Fu Xiaoyao. So when she heard Fu Xiaoyao's words, she immediately fell silent.

"Hanchuan," Fu Xiaoyao let go of Song Yi's arm and smiled at Lu Hanchuan, "I'm fine now. I rested for a while this morning, and I'll go to work at the company this afternoon."

"No need, just rest at the villa." Lü Hánchuan pulled open the car door and got in.

Fu Xiaoyao saw this and hurriedly went over to tug at the car door, "Hanchuan, are you leaving again"

Lu Hanchuan looked at her, "I came back just to take you to the hospital. Since you're fine, I have to go back to the company. Is there anything else"

Fu Xiaoyao let go of her hand and then shook her head, "It's nothing, be careful on your way."

"Hmm." Lu Hanzhen responded with a sound and started the car, driving away.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at the direction the car drove away, her gaze lingering for a long time.

Aunt Song watched with pity, "Madam, don't look anymore, he's long gone."

"I really want to ask him, why after saying he wouldn't see Qi Ya anytime soon, did he go back on his word just a few days later" Fu Xiaoyao said despondently.

Aunt Song let out a sigh, not knowing how to persuade her, "Madam..."

"I'm fine." Fu Xiaoyao turned around, her eyes red.

"Madam, did you cry"

"I didn't cry!" Fu Xiaoyao wiped her eyes, stubbornly refusing to admit it. "I just got sand in my eyes."

"Yes, yes, yes. There was just a big gust of wind," Aunt Song chuckled, knowing she was lying, but she didn't call her out on it.

Fu Xiaoyao sniffed, “Aunt Song, let’s go in.”

"Okay, I'll support you." Aunt Song supported her into the villa and then went to the kitchen to heat up some milk for her.

Fu Xiaoyao picked up the remote control on the coffee table and continued watching TV, but after what just happened, even if the show in front of her was captivating, she couldn't focus anymore.

“Fu Xiaoyao!” A loud shout suddenly rang out outside the villa.

Hearing this familiar voice, Fu Xiaoyao jumped up from the sofa in surprise.

"Madam, who is it" Aunt Song came out of the kitchen with a glass of milk, apparently having also heard the voice just now.

Fu Xiaoyao's throat was a bit dry, "My mom."

Aunt Song was also startled, "How did she come".As soon as Lu Hanchuan heard this, his tone changed, laced with undisguised concern, "How is he""I made him some hangover soup, he drank it and the drunkenness subsided." Fu Xiaoyao replied."Mm." Lu...
