faint weariness.Fu Xiaoyao swallowed nervously and countered, "How did you get my phone number""I asked Aunt Song for it." Lu Hanchuan replied coldly.Given her close relationship with Auntie Song, it..."That's right," Tang Yi nodded. "It should be your family's aunt, she told you about you getting in my car, so he came to find me."

"So... what did he say to you" Fu Xiaoyao asked, her chopsticks poised.

Tang Yi supported his head and looked at her, "What do you want him to say to me"

Fu Xiaoyao hadn't expected him to question her, her eyes flickered for a moment, she vaguely replied, "What can I hope for."

"Of course, he'd want to know where you are, if you're safe and all that." Tang Yi winked at her.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head, "He... probably won't ask these questions."

"Oh, you've got that wrong." Tang Yi patted the table. "He asked exactly that, he asked me where I took you and if I did anything to you."

Fu Xiaoyao's head shot up in astonishment, "He really..."

"Yeah, he really asked that. So are you excited now Have you thought about going back to him" Tang Yi leaned back in his chair, looking at her with deep eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao's mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something. But faced with his gaze, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to speak a word.

"I won't go back to him," she retorted, turning her head away stubbornly.

Actually, deep down she couldn't deceive herself. Just now, there was a moment when she really wanted to run back.

But ultimately reason triumphed over impulse, allowing her to suppress the thought.

"Well, you're not divorcing him. Staying together outside isn't a solution either." Tang Yihuan raised her arm and said languidly.

Fu Xiaoyao heard this, lowered her eyes and said softly, "I know, that's why I'm waiting."

"Waiting" Tang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Waiting for him to come pick you up"

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response, "To be precise, I'll wait for him to come and apologize to me."

Last night, she thought a lot. She loved Lu Hanchuan and had promised her grandfather not to divorce him unless Lu Hanchuan insisted on it. Otherwise, she would be his wife for life.

Since she was his wife, she naturally couldn't stay separated from him forever. She would have to go back someday, but she just wasn't willing. She wasn't willing to accept that her husband had been led astray by another woman, and she wasn't willing to accept that even though he had cheated, he wouldn't even apologize to her. Instead, he just gave her the cold shoulder.

So she just couldn't understand why he could be so calm and indifferent to her feelings. Actually, all she wanted was his attitude. After all, his infidelity wasn't something he willingly chose. As long as he apologized to her, she could bear the resentment in her heart and start anew with him as husband and wife, because she loved him!

But he, on the other hand, didn't show any indication whatsoever. This is truly disappointing.

"Wait for him to apologize, and then you forgive him and go back with him" Tang Yi quickly guessed Fu Xiaoyao's thoughts.

Fu Xiaoyao gave a light hum. "About that."

"Then you'll be disappointed." Tang Yi spread his hands, "I don't think Lu Zong is the type to admit fault readily."

“I know, he's too arrogant. Not only can’t he let go of face, but he also tends to offend people, which is why grandpa made me...” Speaking up to this point, Fu Xiaoyao suddenly realized something and hurriedly stopped her words, raising the milk beside her and taking a sip.

Although she stopped herself in time, Tang Yi still caught the trace of annoyance in her eyes.

He narrowed his eyes imperceptibly, feigning nonchalance and asking, "Why don't you say anything What would Old Master Lu allow you to"

"It's nothing," Fu Xiaoyao smiled casually. "Grandpa asked me to keep an eye on him, but I'm clearly disappointing the old man now."

"Is that so..." Tang Yi dragged out the end of his sentence, at the same time lowering his eyelids to conceal the hidden meaning in his eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't notice anything amiss. She put down her milk and asked, "By the way, after Lu Hanchuan finished asking you those questions, did he say anything else"

"He didn't say anything. He knows I haven't done anything to you, and after arranging a place for you to stay, he was incredibly grateful to me." Tang Yi adjusted her expression and smiled seductively again.

"I don't believe you for a second, he wouldn't thank you anyway."

" Tch, if you don't believe me, forget it. He just asked me these things anyway. He knew you were here and then left."

"Gone" Fu Xiaoyao's face stiffened slightly.

Tang Yi clicked, "That's it!"

Fu Xiaoyao clenched her hand, her heart feeling a bit bitter.

Lu Hanchuan actually just asked these things Didn't he even worry about her safety at all

And he wasn't always the most uncomfortable seeing her getting close to other men, you know Knowing she was staying with Tang Yi, he didn't even get angry

"What's wrong" Seeing Fu Xiaoyao's flushed face, Tang Yi leaned forward with interest.

Fu Xiaoyao leaned back, creating some distance between them. "Nothing, your phone rang."

"Oh, right!" Tang Yi calmly stepped back, taking his phone out of his pocket. As soon as he saw the caller ID, his brows furrowed instantly, and the atmosphere around him shifted.

Fu Xiaoyao glanced at him in surprise. Although she was curious about who had called and made him so serious, she didn't ask.

After all, they were just ordinary friends, and he didn't have the right to ask.

So she got up, cleared the dishes from the table, and went to the kitchen to wash them, leaving the living room for Tang Yi to take her phone call.

The two people's bowls and chopsticks were washed in no time.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't know if Tang Yi had finished his phone call outside. She didn't want to disturb him, so she leaned against the cold wall and waited quietly.

After waiting for about several minutes, she heard a door slam from outside the kitchen. She curiously poked her head out and saw that there was no one in the living room. Only then did she realize that the slamming sound she had just heard was made by Tang Yi when he left.

"He actually left!" Fu Xiaoyao muttered as she came out of the kitchen.

Although she doesn't know why Tang Yi left, his departure was actually a good thing for her.

After all, she was a married woman, and it wasn't proper for her to be alone with another man under the same roof for too long.

Moreover, she hadn't planned on staying there permanently and only intended to stay for two days while looking for other housing options.

Just as I was thinking, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Fu Xiaoyao collected her thoughts and looked toward the door, wondering if it was Tang Yi back again.

With this guess in mind, Fu Xiaoyao didn't ask who the visitor was, but got up from the sofa and walked to the door to open it.

However, to her surprise, it wasn't Tang Yi standing outside the door, but Lu Hanchuan.

"You..."

Before Fu Xiaoyao could finish her words, Lu Hanchuan strode past her and walked into the apartment.

Fu Xiaoyao saw that he didn't even say hello before coming in, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but she didn't open her mouth to drive him away. Instead, she closed the door and followed behind him.

"How did you get here" she asked the man in a low voice, gazing at his tall figure.

Lu Hanchuan calmly surveyed the entire apartment, his face not looking good. “You didn’t take your medicine. Aunt Song asked me to bring it to you.”

Saying that, he directly threw something at her.

Fu Xiaoyao, seeing this, hurriedly caught it in a fluster. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the bone marrow tonic she usually took.

"Why would Aunt Song have you bring this medicine" Fu Xiaoyao held up the small bottle of pills, her almond eyes narrowed with suspicion. "I've stopped taking this medication for a long time, and Aunt Song knows that too. So she shouldn't have asked you to bring it, right"led. "What I mean is, we'll have more children in the future.""So that's how it is." Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyelids, concealing the disappointment in his eyes.He still thought, a miracle had happened...
