Chapter 96: Mind?

you ask your father See if he's willing to tell you." Fu Xiaoyao smoothed down her slightly disheveled clothes and answered languidly.Then, her gaze shifted and suddenly fixed on Qi Ya's bag, then sh..."It's been broken for three years already." Lu Hanchuan lit a cigarette for himself.

Shao Si Nian saw it, reached out and took one too, "So what have you been doing all this time"

"What do you mean" Lu Hanchuan exhaled a plume of smoke, looking at him indifferently.

Shao Siniang flicked his cigarette ash, "Of course it's your recent kindness towards Qi Ya. If I didn't know better, I'd think you two were together behind Fu Xiaoyao's back."

"That's not true." Lu Hanchuan said softly, lowering his eyes.

Shao Si Nian smiled. "Of course I know there's nothing, but you have to think about her behavior, like those intimate gestures and excessive concern."

Lu Hanchuan took a drag of his cigarette and remained silent.

Shao Sian asked, "Why did you suddenly want to tell her all this"

Lu Hanchuan still remained silent.

Shao Si Nian rolled his eyes, "Fine, playing deaf and dumb is it"

"What are you trying to say" Lu Hanchuan frowned impatiently.

Shao Si Nian shrugged, "I didn't want to say anything, just wondering why you didn't tell her these things at the beginning. Don't you know that your kindness to her this time made her think there was still a chance for you two to get back together"

"I won't get back together." Lu Hanchuan replied faintly.

He was very clear that he was now married, and his wife was Fu Xiaoyao.

As for Xiao Ya, the past is the past.

Even if he hadn't completely let go of her in his heart, he wouldn't do anything with Xiaoya.

“You may not, but that doesn't mean others don't think that way. Qi Ya's personality...” As he said this, Shao Si Nian seemed to remember something, his eyes suddenly turning cold for a moment, “Forget it, never mind. Just be more careful yourself and protect Fu Xiaoyao well.”

"Protection" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes. "You mean Xiao Ya would target Fu Xiaoyao"

"This is what you said yourself. Anyway, I've already reminded you. Whether you believe me or Qi Ya, the decision is yours. Just don't regret it later." Shao Si Nian extinguished his cigarette butt.

Lu Hanchuan turned his gaze towards Qi Ya's hospital room door across the way, "I believe Xiao Ya wouldn't. She is very kind."

Shao Si Nian's foot slipped, and he almost lost his balance.

Kindness

If Qi Ya, this woman, can be considered kind, then there are no wicked people in this world!

"Alright then, take care." Shao Sinian patted Lu Hanchuan's shoulder with a forced smile.

Lu Hchuan's shoulder shook, and he directly swatted his hand away, "Aren't you worried about your patient"

"A patient" Shao Sinians was taken aback, then suddenly looked at the stethoscope hanging around his neck, his face changing drastically. "Oh no, I almost forgot, Hanchuan, I can't keep you company, I have to go now."

He dashed toward the elevator.

"Fool!" Lu Hanchuan watched his bustling back and couldn't help but lash out with a sarcastic remark.

It's really unfortunate for a patient to encounter such an absent-minded doctor!

He silently smoked a cigarette in his hand and glanced at Qi Ya's ward. In the end, he didn't go in, threw away the cigarette butt, and left the hospital.

He returned to the villa. Auntie Song saw him and thought she must be mistaken.

"Sir, how did you get back so quickly"

"Where's Fu Xiaoyao" Lu Hanchuan asked back.

Aunt Song pointed upstairs, "After you left, Madam went back to her room to rest. She should still be asleep now."

Lu Hanchuan hummed in response and stepped up the stairs.

He pushed open the door and walked in quietly, stopping by the bed.

Fu Xiaoyao was sleeping soundly on the soft big bed. Her body was slightly curled up, making her look especially small and fragile, which made people feel an urge to protect her.

Lu Hanchuan slowly sat down by the bedside, reaching out to tuck the hair from her face behind her ear. Her delicate face was fully exposed in his eyes.

She isn't beautiful, but rather pleasantly attractive.

He didn't find her face interesting before, but now he realized it wasn't so unpleasant.

"Hmm..." the woman in bed let out a soft moan.

Lu Hanchuan quickly retracted his hand.

I thought she was waking up, but it turned out she just rolled over and kept sleeping.

She no longer slept curled up, but sprawled out with her limbs wide open. Her sleeping position was anything but graceful, the bedding kicked far away by her foot, half of it even lying on the floor.

Seeing this, Lu Hanchuan's temples jumped, and he picked up the quilt and covered her again with a black face.

Maybe because the indoor air conditioner was a little too high, she was feeling hot. The blanket had just been put on her for a few seconds when she kicked it off again.

Lu Hanzhan's thin lips pursed into a straight line, staring at her for a while, enduring his patience and covering the quilt back over Fu Xiaoyao.

This time, after building it up, he didn't let go immediately. Instead, he held onto the blanket corner tightly and pressed down on it. When he noticed she was kicking the blanket again, he said coldly, "If you kick again, don't sleep!"

Fu Xiaoyao was startled awake. She opened her eyes to see a cold and stern face before her.

She was stunned for two seconds before she reacted, calling out uncertainly, "Hanchuan"

"Since you're awake, get up." Lu Hanchuan loosened the blanket corner softly, without any guilt for waking someone from their sleep.

"It's really you!" Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her eyes in surprise.

Lu Hánchuan stated plainly, "If it wasn't me, who do you think it was"

"Um..." Fu Xiaoyao's mouth twitched. "I didn't mean it that way, I was just surprised how you suddenly came back. Aren't you at work"

"I'm back. There are a few things I want to say to you." Lu Hanchuan adjusted his cuffs.

Fu Xiaoyao sat up, "What do you mean"

"I went to the hospital and saw Xiaoya," Lu Hanchuan said, looking into her eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao's expression faltered slightly, a touch of melancholy flashing in her eyes, "Is that so..."

He went to the hospital to comfort Qi Ya, didn't he

After all, Qi Ya was angry with her. He loved Qi Ya so much, how could he possibly not go and see her.

"Aren't you curious, what I have to say has anything to do with going to see her" Lu Hanchuan asked.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head, "How would I know Just tell me directly."

Lu Hánchuan pursed his lips. "I told her that we can't be together anymore."

"What" Fu Xiaoyao suddenly lifted her head, "You... really said that to her"

Is he still in love with Qi Ya

She knew he said he wouldn't do anything with Qi Ya, but that wasn't to Qi Ya.

He's saying this now, doesn't he fear hurting Qi Ya's feelings

"Well, these words I should have said to her a long time ago, but I didn't realize it." Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyelids.

Because he still hasn't let go of Xiaoya in his heart, he will unconsciously make some intimate gestures towards her.

If it weren't for Shao Sinian and his grandfather's advice, he might not even realize now whether his actions were right or wrong.

"But what about Miss Qi Ya" Fu Xiaoyao asked cautiously.

Lu Hanchuan frowned, "What's wrong with Xiaoya"

"Don't you feel sorry for her if you say these things to her"

Lu Hanchuan remained silent for a few seconds, “It’s better to be sad now than to be sad later.”

Fu Xiaoyao smiled.

Lu Hanchuan looked at her, "What are you laughing at"

"I'm glad," she replied.

Lu Hanchuan leaned against the headboard, "Why are you happy."

"Of course it was you and Miss Qi Ya who said these things. To be honest, since Miss Qi Ya appeared, I've always minded her presence." Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath and bravely spoke the words she had kept in her heart for a long time.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes. "Mind"

"Well, because you're my husband, I mind other women being around you." Fu Xiaoyao replied, holding his hand.

Hearing this, Lu Hanchuan suddenly felt an indescribable joy in his heart, but on the surface he remained as indifferent as ever. "It's only because of this reason that you mind, there's nothing else"m, so even if you cheated, even if you killed Grandpa, I wouldn’t divorce you. But that doesn’t mean I’ll forgive you,” Fu Xiaoyao said in a cold voice.She wasn't stupid, naturally knowing Qiao Mu jus...
