Chapter 42: What Was She Like?

f billions of yuan in losses, even the powerful Lu Group can't withstand this."Tang Yi, that piece of land can't be built on right now. Can you sell it to someone else" Fu Xiaoyao asked.If he could se...Lu Hánchuan lowered his eyelids and didn't respond. He didn't know how to answer her question.

He couldn't say why he wouldn't let them meet, because there was always a voice in his heart telling him that once they met, something might happen that he couldn't control.

He was unwilling to believe this feeling, yet he couldn't help but pay attention to it. As a result, he hadn't told Xiao Ya that he was already married until now. More importantly, he hadn't figured out if Xiao Ya still had those feelings for him.

If he had, he wouldn't know how Xiaoya would react.

"Hanchuan" Seeing the man was out of it, Qi Ya tugged at his sleeve. "What are you thinking about"

"It's fine." Lu Hanchuan came back to his senses, a tired feeling in his heart as he rubbed his temples. "Are you really going to see her"

"Mm." Qi Ya nodded.

Lu Hchuan's Adam's apple bobbed twice, his voice a little hoarse, "Okay, I'll arrange for you to meet. But not for too long."

"Good." Qi Ya smiled and agreed.

Lu Hanchuan slightly turned his face, giving Shao Sian, who was acting like a wooden statue beside him, a look.

Shao Sinians eyebrows rose slightly, and she followed him out.

Where is Fu Xiaoyao's ward

"Downstairs, I'll take you." Shao Si Nian finished speaking and walked in front.

Lu Hanchuan followed behind him.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let them see each other How come you suddenly changed your mind" Shao Si Nian teased as they entered the elevator.

Lu Hanchuan ignored him, his deep pupils staring at the crack in the elevator door, his expression unreadable.

Shao Si-nian let out a scoff, "Hanchuan, what exactly are you thinking"

"What do you mean" Lu Hanchuan asked back, his thin lips parting slightly with a cold tone.

Shao Si Nian had his hands tucked into the pockets of his white coat, standing beside him. "Of course it's you and Qi Ya. I remember you said that you two couldn't be together, right"

"Hmm."

"Then what do you mean now" Shao Si Nian looked at him, his expression serious. "I didn't want to say anything about what you did before, but now I have to say this: since you don't have those feelings, don't get too close to her."

Before his opinion of Fu Xiaoyao changed, he believed she was not worthy of Lu Hánchuan.

But now his mind has changed. Compared to Qi Ya, having a sincere Fu Xiaoyao is the person most suitable for Lu Hanzchuan. He hopes they will be together.

As an outsider, there was one thing he saw very clearly: although Lu Hanchuan still couldn't let go of Qi Ya, there was also a place for Fu Xiaoyao in his heart. It's just that Lu Hanchuan himself hadn't realized it yet.

Thinking of this, Shao Sian said meaningfully, "Hanchuan, as a friend, I hope you don't do something you'll regret."

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean"

"It's nothing, just a few things that hit the nail on the head. If I explained it clearly, it wouldn't make sense anymore. It all depends on your own understanding." Shao Sian smiled and stopped outside a hospital room door. "This is it, you go in yourself. I'll go back to my office first."

He pointed at the door in front of him, then turned and left.

Lu Hanchuan stood there thoughtfully for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it" Fu Xiaoyao raised her head from the bedside when she heard a knock at the door.

"It was me."

"Hanchuan" Fu Xiaoyao was surprised and quickly put on her shoes and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Hanchuan came in, "Are you asleep"

"No, just lying down playing with my phone." Fu Xiaoyao closed the door.

She can't sleep knowing she has surgery tonight.

"Aren't you nearsighted How come you're lying down playing with your phone" Lu Hánchuan frowned.

Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her nose and smiled awkwardly, "It's comfortable to lie down and play, have you finished watching Miss Qi Ya"

She quickly changed the subject.

Lu Hanchuan hummed, "She wants to see you."

"Who" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback and didn't react immediately.

Lu Hanchuan glanced at her, "Who are you"

Fu Xiaoyao blinked, her eyes wide with surprise: "Miss Qi Ya"

"Come on, I'll take you up there." Lu Hanchuan strode towards the door without waiting for a response. After taking two steps, he heard no movement behind him.

He turned his head and saw Fu Xiaoyao still standing there, motionless, like she had been struck dumb.

"What are you doing Hurry up and catch up." Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips, his voice laced with a hint of disdain.

Fu Xiaoyao caught up, quickly jogging to keep pace with him, "Here I am, here I am."

The two walked silently down the corridor, not a word passing between them. The air was thick with tension.

After a long silence, Fu Xiaoyao looked at the back of the man in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but call out, "Hanchuan."

Lu Hanchuan’s footsteps didn't stop, “What’s wrong”

"What kind of person is Miss Qi Ya" she inquired tentatively.

Actually, from Qi Ya's tone when she spoke on the phone last time, she could vaguely guess that Qi Ya was a strong and sharp person.

And such people are generally not very easy to get along with, she was a little worried.

She also wanted to know from him if Qi Ya felt the same way she did.

"What are you asking this for" Lu Hanchuan pressed the elevator button, countering with a question.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, "I'm just a little curious, if you don't want to say that's okay."

"There's nothing bad to say." Lu Hanchuan stepped into the elevator, pressing the floor buttons while replying, "Xia Ya has a gentle personality and isn't pretentious."

“Mild” Fu Xiaoyao’s lips twitched slightly.

As expected, it's not what she thought.

She didn't think Qi Ya was a gentle person. Last time on the phone, when she said she was his wife, Qi Ya clearly became agitated and angry.

Is this what Yulin said, that a man is like a white lotus in front of others but a black lotus behind them

"What are you thinking about" Lu Hanchuan suddenly spoke.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Lu Hanchuan saw that she was acting guilty, but he wasn't interested. He adjusted his cuffs and reminded her, "When you see Xiaoya later, don't say anything inappropriate."

"What should I say What shouldn't I say" Fu Xiaoyao twisted her fingers, asking cautiously.

Lu Hanchuan glanced at her with an idiotic look, "Besides that I'm your husband, you can weigh the rest yourself."

“Oh…” Fu Xiaoyao’s eyes dimmed, and she slowly lowered her head.

A wife's status cannot be spoken of, is she such an inadequate wife

Or was he worried about his wife, that she might provoke his ex-girlfriend

Fu Xiaoyao took a breath, her heart aching with a mix of bitterness and sourness. She turned her head away in silence.

After a period of silence, they arrived at Qi Ya's ward.

Lu Hanchuan let Fu Xiaoyao go in alone, while he lit a cigarette and stood outside the door waiting.

Fu Xiaoyao originally wanted to remind him to smoke less, as it was bad for his health.

But when she saw the fatigue and worry in his eyes, she held back.

I'll go in first.

"Hmm." Lu Hanchuan replied expressionlessly.

Fu Xiaoyao turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

Qi Ya heard the sound and immediately came over, "Hello."

"Hello." Fu Xiaoyao nodded slightly, then sized her up.

She sat on the bed, holding a book in her hand and a faint smile on her face. She had a gentle and elegant demeanor, truly worthy of being a young lady from a distinguished family.

She was just too thin, with no flesh on her bones, like a skeleton. But even so, she was still very beautiful in her wig.

Such a beautiful woman with good upbringing and dancing skills, no wonder Lu Hanchuan couldn't forget her. Fu Xiaoyao thought self-deprecatingly, with a hint of envy in her heart.

Unbeknownst to her, while she was envious of Qi Ya's health, Qi Ya was also envious of her, even a little jealous. They were both the same blood type, yet why could she be so healthy and strong while she was confined to this bed.

But...

Qi Ya looked at Fu Xiao Yao, who was not as beautiful or well-proportioned as herself, and her heart instantly felt balanced again.

"You must be Ms. Fu Xiaoyao" she asked with a smile, suppressing the negative emotions in her heart. to shake her hand. "Ms. Shi.""Lu Zong, this is..." A high-level executive who didn't recognize Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask.Lu Hanchuan lowered his hand. “This is Ms. Shi Yao, the general manager...
