tiness swept through her chest in an instant, and her face turned pale.After a while, she regained some composure and whispered with a wry smile, "It's for the best..."Lu Hánchuan shouldn't have come..."Shame on you!" Fu Xiaoyao glared at him angrily, her body stiff and unable to move.

She probably guessed what he just said, telling her not to move, was about.

He definitely reacted!

"Shameless" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow. "How is it shameless You're my wife, wouldn't it be normal for me to have a reaction to you"

Fu Xiaoyao's lips parted slightly, wanting to retort, but she found herself unable to find a reason to argue back.

Because what he said is correct, they haven't divorced yet and are still husband and wife. It's normal for him to react to her.

But....

Fu Xiaoyao gritted her teeth, "Yes, you're right. I can't argue with you, but don't forget, this is by the front door. You just... how do you expect Auntie Song to see this"

"Song Yi didn't come over." Lu Hanchuan replied nonchalantly, then hugged her and took a step forward, hooking his foot under the door to shut it. "Now we're in the room, even if Song Yi came over she wouldn't be able to see us. So that means I can..."

"No!" Before he could finish his sentence, Fu Xiaoyao interrupted him as if she had been stimulated.

Lu Hanchuan stared at her, "Why not You are my wife."

Fu Xiaoyao turned her face away, "No reason, I just don't want to."

"Is that so" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, “Yes, I don’t want to do this with you!”

Her direct refusal pricked Lu Hanchuan's heart.

Actually, he didn't intend to touch her. She isn't feeling well right now, and touching her would only hurt her.

So he said that, purely to see her reaction.

But he didn't expect her reaction to be like that.

Thinking about this, Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyelids, concealing all the emotions in his eyes. His voice was a little hoarse as he spoke, "If you don't want to do it, that's fine. Just call my name and I'll let you go."

"You threaten me" Fu Xiaoyao glared at him angrily.

He let out a soft chuckle, “A threat You can think of it that way, so will you answer or not”

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head in silence.

To be honest, she didn't want to shout.

But she also knew she couldn't break free from his grasp.

You could say that she's now the cat he's twisting by the scruff of its neck. If she doesn't satisfy him, she has only one fate: to be toyed with at his whim. So, there's only one path left for her to take.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao clenched her hands tightly and whispered two words, "Hanchuan..."

Hearing his own name from her lips once again, Lu Hanchuan felt a sense of otherworldliness. It was as if he hadn't heard it in ages.

But actually, it's only been a little over a month.

"I didn't hear you, speak up." Lu Hanchuan bumped his chin against Fu Xiaoyao's head, making her call again.

Although Fu Xiaoyao was reluctant, she had no choice but to comply. She was under his roof after all.

"Hanchuan!" she shouted again, her voice louder this time, "Are you satisfied now"

Lu Hanchuan hummed, "Not bad."

“Then you still won’t let go!” she shook her shoulders.

Lu Hanchuan slowly let her go.

As soon as she was free, she immediately backed away, as if he were some kind of dangerous person. She retreated several meters before stopping.

Lu Hánchuan saw that she was dodging him with such fear, his heart felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't lash out at her.

After all, he understood in his heart that this was the time to earn her forgiveness.

"In two days, I'm going back to the city." Lu Hanchuan smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes and suddenly said.

Fu Xiaoyao heard the words and was delighted, "Really"

He's finally leaving.

She still thought he was really planning to stay here with her.

"Well, there's been a bit of trouble at the Lu Group headquarters. I need to go back and deal with it." replied Lu Hanchuan.

Fu Xiaoyao suppressed the excitement in her heart and forced a calm expression, nodding. "I understand. Actually, you don't have to tell me this."

Anyway, she's not going to leave with him.

Fu Xiaoyao's little thought, even if she concealed it well, Lu Hanchuan could sense it through her constantly flickering eyes, and he couldn't help but find it amusing.

This woman, is she still thinking about not leaving him

Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed!

"The reason I'm telling you this is so that you can get everything ready over the next two days, so you don't rush when we leave in two days." Lu Hanchuan crossed his arms and looked at her leisurely.

"You want me to go with you" Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened in surprise. She was stunned.

"Or what" Lu Hanchuan snorted.

Fu Xiaoyao gritted her teeth, "I..."

"Don't say you don't want to leave. Don't forget what I said at the village head's house before" Lu Hanchuan stared intently at her.

Fu Xiaoyao's lips trembled twice, "I remember, but you said divorce, not that you wanted me to leave with you!"

"Is there any difference" Lu Hanchuan's face darkened. "You stay here and don't go back, what's the difference from wanting a divorce Or do you think that if we continue to live apart, I will eventually divorce you"

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyelids, without responding.

She really thought so.

As soon as Lu Hanchuan saw her lowering her head like that, he knew he had hit the nail on the head and felt a little irritated.

But he eventually managed to suppress his anger and patiently continued, "All the details about investing in this village were already discussed with the village head during our meal, and you should have heard it too. So whether the funding I arranged can be delivered depends entirely on your choice. Think it over carefully."

After saying this, Lu Hanchuan tapped Fu Xiaoyao's head and turned to leave.

Fu Xiaoyao stood on the spot, watching his dashing back, her heart filled with anger.

But she also knew she couldn't win against him, and getting angry would only make her seem more useless.

"Madam, Master asked me to come and help you pack your belongings. Is there anything you need me to do" Aunt Song walked over and asked.

Fu Xiaoyao wiped her somewhat wronged eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "There's nothing needed, Aunt Song. You go about your own business, I can clean up myself."

"That's all right then, just give me a call if you need anything." Auntie Song didn't insist, she nodded and left.

Fu Xiaoyao sniffed, closed the door, then pulled her suitcase from under the bed and began packing.

She was very reluctant to return to the city with Lu Hanchuan, so she packed her things very slowly.

She could have finished the task in minutes, but she dawdled for an hour before going out.

Lu Hanchuan caught sight of her, his voice lazily asking, "Are you ready"

Fu Xiaoyao's footsteps paused, and she didn't respond.

Lü Hánchuan knew she was acting coquettishly, and he didn't mind her current attitude. He flipped a page of the book and continued, "After you're done packing, check everything again to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. Otherwise, once you return to the city, you'll start complaining about things you left behind and run back here. Then you'll never leave again."

"I'm not so hypocritical," Fu Xiaoyao snorted.

"That's good then." Lu Hanzhan nodded faintly.

Fu Xiaoyao no longer paid her any mind, raised her foot and walked toward the front door of the main hall.

Lu Hanchuan frowned, "Where are you going"

Fu Xiaoyao did not answer, but quickened her pace instead.

Seeing this, Lu Hanchuan put down his book and followed her, not wanting to let her go alone.

She took a few steps and felt someone following her. She turned back and looked, instantly speechless, “Mr. Lu, are you following me even to the restroom”

"The restroom" Lu Hanchuan was slightly startled, "Didn't you want to go out"

"I never said I was going out, you just guessed it." Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes. "Are you still following me now". told me.” 。"So, where is he now" Fu Xiaoyao glanced at the door of the ward. "Is he in the ICU" "No" 。"Aunt Song brought her the soup, “Mr. left the hospital last night at midnight. Before he l...
