Chapter 282: Nemesis

ached from constantly lifting and putting down things. Now, even the slightest movement hurt. 。"Madam, we should still tell Mr. that we won't learn it, right" 。"Aunt Song thought for a moment, and th...Lü Hánchuan pursed his lips, "I can't tell you now, you'll know later. Go wash up and rest.

After that, he turned and left. 。Fu Xiaoyao stared at the spot where he had just been standing for a long time, sighing after a while before continuing to wash up. 。Although she didn't know if what he just said was true or not, she felt comforted in her heart. 。She even thought, as long as he sent Qi Ya away tomorrow, she could ignore his care for Qi Ya tonight. 。After washing up, Fu Xiaoyao returned to her room. 。The big light in the room was already turned off, only a small lamp on the bedside table was still lit. 。Fu Xiaoyao looked at the bed, Lu Hanchuan had already fallen asleep. 。He fell asleep so quickly, she wasn't surprised. After all, he hadn't had a proper rest in a day and a night, it was obvious how exhausted he was. 。"Sigh..." Letting out a breath, Fu Xiaoyao lightly walked over and lifted the blanket to climb onto the bed. 。She didn't expect that as soon as she lay down, a big hand reached out, hugged her waist, and pulled her into his arms. 。"You weren't asleep" Fu Xiaoyao asked, her body stiff with surprise. 。Lu Hanchuan didn't open his eyes, and just said to her, "Almost asleep." 。His voice was languid, carrying a distinct drowsiness. 。Fu Xiaoyao heard it, quickly lowered her voice, "Oh, then you sleep, I won't bother you" 。" "Well" 。"Lu Hanchuan responded with a sound, but remained silent." 。Fu Xiaoyao nestled quietly in his arms, motionless. She only opened her big eyes, blinking from time to time. 。I don't know how long it took, but a rhythmic breathing sound came from above my head. 。Fu Xiaoyao slowly lifted her head and secretly looked at the man's sleeping face. 。His face was so perfect that even the heavy dark circles under his eyelids and the faint bluish tint around his jawline didn't detract from his handsomeness; instead, they added a touch of world-weariness. 。All in all, this man is simply the most meticulously crafted masterpiece by heaven. No matter what, he never appears disheveled and always captivates everyone's attention. 。 She wasn't the first to be captivated by his face, falling for him at first sight. 。Facing this face, still so tired, she couldn't blame him for his behavior tonight. Instead, she felt a pang of sympathy for him. She wondered if his company affairs had been resolved!Thinking about these things, Fu Xiaoyao gave a wry smile and murmured in her mouth, "What a pair of opposites..."From the moment she fell for him at first sight, she was destined to lose to him. As they say, whoever falls in love first loses. Isn't that exactly what she is doing now...As for what would happen later, ever since Qi Ya reappeared at the charity banquet last time, she had dared not think about it any further... 。At this moment, Fu Xiaoyao's heart was filled with both trepidation and uncertainty. Even her usually clear eyes revealed a hint of confusion about the future. These emotions intertwined, tormenting her to the point of insomnia. As a result, she woke up earlier than usual the next day, even before Lu Hanchuan. 。Aunt Song saw her coming downstairs and was somewhat disbeliefd. "Madam, why don't you sleep a little longer" Fu Xiaoyao yawned, "Couldn't sleep, so I might as well get up. How is that person"She pointed towards the upstairs guest room. 。"I went to check on her when I woke up, the fever had broken, she just wasn't awake yet," 。" That's how it is 。Fu Xiaoyao nodded, indicating she understood. 。Aunt Song poured her a cup of hot water, "Has your husband woken up yet" "No, he hasn't slept in a day and night. Let him sleep for a while longer." 。Fu Xiaoyao took the cup of water and replied. 。"It's understandable," Aunt Song sighed, feeling sorry for him. "The company is so large; your husband gets up early every day and barely sleeps more than seven hours. Just looking at it makes me feel heartbroken." 。Fu Xiaoyao smiled, didn't respond, and silently drank the water in her cup. 。"By the way, Madam, did you ask your husband last night what he's planning to do about that woman" 。" No, but he mentioned it himself, should be today. " 。Fu Xiaoyao said uncertainly: 。Aunt Song, however, believed it and nodded in satisfaction. "That's good," she said. "I don't want that woman to stay here for another day; she makes the air stink." 。"Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao laughed, "Aunt Song, you're so cute." 。" "Oh, thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Please have a seat while I fry two eggs in the kitchen. Breakfast will be ready soon." 。Auntie Song got up and walked to the kitchen. 。Fu Xiaoyao finished her water, picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the TV. Then she flopped onto the sofa, listlessly staring at 。After watching for a while, the doorbell at the entrance suddenly rang. 。Fu Xiaoyao paused the television, got up and went to open the door. 。The person standing outside the door was Qiao Mu. 。Jo Mu saw that it was her who opened the door, and he raised an eyebrow in surprise. However, he quickly adjusted his attitude and greeted her calmly, "Madam, good morning" 。"Good morning" 。Fu Xiaoyao nodded, then stepped aside to make way. "Assistant Qiao, please come in." 。" Excuse me " 。Joe nodded and changed his shoes before entering the villa. 。"Yes. " 。" Qiao Mu politely thanked him, took the cup of water with both hands and set it aside, then asked, “Is Mr. Lu up yet” "No, if you have something urgent to discuss with him, I can go wake him up.” 。“Fu Xiaoyao said, and she was about to get up and go upstairs,” 。Qiao Mu stopped her, "Madam, there's no need to bother, it's not a big deal, I can wait." 。"Okay, " 。Fu Xiaoyao sat back down again. 。She would rather not use it. 。After all, she originally just wanted Lu Hanchuan to sleep a little longer. 。Seeing Fu Xiaoyao so decisively give up the idea of calling Lu Hanzhen down, Qiao Mu couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, "Madam... really straightforward, huh" 。"You said you didn't need it, didn't you Are you lying to me" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him slantingly. 。 Qiao Mu awkwardly coughed, "No no, I didn't lie to you, I just want to know how long it will take Mr. Lu to wake up, in case we miss the plane..." "Wait, you said airplane" Fu Xiaoyao interrupted him, "You mean Hanchuan is going out of town" "Didn't Mr. Lu tell you" Qiao Mu was stunned 。Fu Xiaoyao shook her head, "No, so how is this even possible, Qiao Assistant, could you please tell me" 。" That... I can't say. Since President Lu didn't tell you, I wouldn't want to overstep him, so..." "It's nothing that can't be said, just tell her." 。Lu Hanchuan's cold voice came from the direction of the stairs, still with a hoarse feeling after waking up. Listening to it was extremely alluring, making one's bones feel numb. 。Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her goosebumps and looked in the direction of the voice, "You're awake" 。 "

" 。Lu Hánchuan responded and, while smoothing his cuffs, slowly went downstairs. 。When Qiao Mu saw him approaching, he quickly stood up from the sofa and made room for him. 。After he sat down, Lu Hanchuan looked at Fu Xiaoyao and said, "I'm going out of the country for a while. I was going to tell you last night, but so much happened that I just forgot." 。"It's okay, but what are you going abroad for" Fu Xiaoyao asked 。Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, "Go find Tang Shan. I want to meet him in person." 。"Are you saying you want to ask him yourself if Tang Yi is your brother" Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened in surprise. 。Lu Hanchuan shook his head slightly, "No, asking him directly wouldn't work. I wouldn't get anything out of him. So this time, I just went to visit him, to understand what kind of person he is and casually test the waters." 。" That's how it is. 。Fu Xiaoyao gave a knowing "oh" and her expression became somewhat worried. 。Lu Hanchuan looked at her, "What's wrong with you"u're probably too nervous. Don't think too much about it, let's go.""Perhaps." Fu Xiaoyao managed a smile and followed him into the venue.This was still her first time attending such a formal and gran...
