ng eyes, Fu Xiaoyao would almost believe what she was saying."Well, you don't want to hear it anymore, do you" Fu Xiaoyao said with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.Yu Lin gave a haughty smirk,...The bathroom door wasn't locked, he just twisted it open.

Fu Xiaoyao was hunched over the washbasin, her upper body pressed against it, vomiting violently. Her face was pale ashen, her eyes red and watery, looking pitiful.

"What's wrong" Lu Hanchuan walked behind her and looked into the sink.

This is when I discovered that the sink was clean and dry, with no vomit at all.

So she was completely throwing up.

"I'm fine." Fu Xiaoyao turned on the tap, cupped some water and rinsed her mouth, asking weakly.

Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips, “Is there nothing wrong with vomiting like this”

"That's normal," Fu Xiaoyao smiled at him, her face still pale. "These kinds of reactions happen in the first few months of pregnancy. Aunt Song said it's a sign of pregnancy."

"Morning sickness" Lu Hanchuan muttered softly, then turned and left the bathroom.

Seeing him walk away without a word, Fu Xiaoyao's heart sank. The smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by an overwhelming urge to cry.

He just left

Coming in without a single word of concern and then leaving, it's really heartbreaking...

Fu Xiaoyao looked at her pale reflection in the mirror and let out a wry smile.

Anyway, she threw up like that just now, he didn't even show a disgusted expression which is already good. He just doesn't care about her, it's not a big deal anyway. Didn't he not care about her before either She still came here.

Although she comforted herself like this, Fu Xiaoyao knew in her heart that she was sad and wronged by Lu Hanchuan's departure.

She didn't know what was wrong with her.

Since she became pregnant, she seemed to have become more sensitive and delicate all of a sudden.

She knew deep down that even if she were pregnant, Lu Hanzchuan wouldn't treat her any differently. She often told herself to be strong and not to care about these things, but on the other hand, she still held out hope that he would treat her better because of her pregnancy, that he would show more concern for her. This contradictory feeling was something she had never experienced before.

Thinking about this, Fu Xiaoyao said to herself in the mirror: "Fu Xiaoyao, Fu Xiaoyao, you are really greedy even when you are pregnant."

Being pregnant, she yearned for Lu Hankan's kindness and care towards her. Was that too much to ask

Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her face, adjusted her state of mind, tore a tissue to wipe the water from the corner of her mouth, and walked out of the bathroom.

Back in the room, it was eerily quiet. Besides her, there was no one else there.

She looked around in some confusion, "Hanchuan"

There is no response.

Fu Xiaoyao walked to the balcony again, confirming that Lu Hankan was not on the balcony either. This made her even more puzzled.

Where did he go

Could it be that he left after receiving a call from Qi Ya

As I was thinking this, the front door suddenly creaked open.

Fu Xiaoyao turned around and saw the door open. Lu Hanchuan walked in holding a cup of brown water.

Seeing him, she let out a breath of relief and her heart settled back into place.

It turns out he didn't leave after all.

"What are you doing standing there" Lu Hanchuan's face darkened when he saw Fu Xiaoyao standing at the balcony entrance.

The weather has turned cool now.

She was actually still standing there blowing in the wind in her pajamas!

"I've been looking for you." Fu Xiaoyao closed the sliding doors on the balcony and smiled back.

Lu Hánchuan placed the cup in his hand on the tea table, "What did you want to see me for"

"You weren't in the room, I thought you had left again." Fu Xiaoyao didn't hide it, she directly said what was on her mind.

"It's so late, where can I go" Lu Hanchuan replied to her with a faint voice, then pointed to the cup on the tea table, "Drink this."

"What's this" Fu Xiaoyao curiously walked over.

Lu Hánchuan didn't answer her, picked up a book from the sofa and started reading.

Fu Xiaoyao saw him like this, feeling a bit disappointed in her heart. She could only close her mouth and stop asking further questions.

She bent down and picked up the cup he had just pointed to. She brought it to her nose and sniffed, not quite discerning the scent. Then she took a sip of the brown liquid inside and her eyes lit up. "Sour plum juice Did you make this especially for me"

"I went downstairs to get water, and coincidentally, Aunt Song was there as well. I casually asked her how to alleviate morning sickness, and she gave me this to bring up to you." Lu Hanchuan replied with a slight flicker in his eyes.

"Is that so" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him with some suspicion, pointing to the teapot on the coffee table. "There's water in the room, isn't there Why go downstairs to pour it"

Hearing this, Lu Hanchuan's hand holding the book tightened suddenly.

Although his movement wasn't very large in arc, it was just caught by Fu Xiaoyao.

She smiled, "Hanchuan, you're lying, aren't you You weren't downstairs getting water, you went to ask Auntie Song for advice, didn't you"

"No, you're overthinking it." Lu Hanchuan slammed the book shut and walked toward the big bed.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't follow, holding the sour plum juice and still standing there, her smile becoming increasingly radiant, "Hanchuan, thank you."

She misunderstood him. He suddenly left the bathroom just now, not because he was too lazy to care about her. On the contrary, he went to get plum juice because he cared about her.

She didn't expect him to act this way, refusing to admit what he had done and insisting it was just a coincidence. His evasive attitude combined with his cold expression gave him a strangely endearing quality.

"Alright, finish your drink and go to sleep. It's late." Lu Hanchuan tossed his covers back and lay down on the bed, his tone impatient.

Fu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue, "Got it, be right there."

Could she categorize his current appearance as tsundere

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but cover her lips and smile secretly, because she had discovered another little-known side of him.

The next day, when Fu Xiaoyao woke up, Lu Hchuan was gone again.

She wasn't surprised, after all he often left very early.

"Madam." As Fu Xiaoyao went downstairs, a stranger worker greeted her.

Fu Xiaoyao was yawning, and when she saw the maid, her head went blank for a moment. “Who are you”

"I'm here for Ms. Song's class, my last name is Liu," the maid answered with a smile.

It was only then that Fu Xiaoyao remembered that Aunt Song had taken leave yesterday.

"Hello," Fu Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

The maid asked, "Is the mistress having breakfast now"

"Hmm," Fu Xiaoyao replied.

She was actually quite hungry.

"Madam, breakfast is ready. It's prepared according to your preference," the maid said with a curtsy.

Fu Xiaoyao followed her to the restaurant.

When Aunt Song left, she told the maid about her preferences.

Fu Xiaoyao ate this breakfast made by the maid, and she felt it was no different from what Aunt Song made. Therefore, she naturally adapted to it soon.

After breakfast, Fu Xiaoyao came to the living room and watched TV while waiting for the English tutor arranged by Lu Hanchuan.

But after waiting for about two hours, the English teacher didn't show up. Instead, I received a call from an unknown number.

She didn't want to answer it at first, but seeing that the call was local and had been ringing for so long, she picked up, "Hello, this is Fu Xiaoyao."

"You are Fu Xiaoyao" A somewhat menacing male voice came from the phone.

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned, "I am, may I ask who you are..."

"Don't worry about who we are, you just need to know that your brother is in my hands. If you don't want your brother to lose a hand, come to the Golden Hall to save him. Remember, don't call the police, or I'll kill your brother!" The person on the phone finished speaking and hung up.

Fu Xiaoyao was completely dumbfounded, her mind went blank. It took her a long time to realize that her younger brother had been caught.

"How could this be" she cried out in despair.y goodness, did you pick the words off"Lin Mu-xi looked at the reactions of the two people, her heart skipped a beat, realizing that she might have caused trouble.She looked at the peony in her hand,...
