Chapter 373: Confession

rising, "He's going to fire me"Jo's assistant's lips twitched, and she smiled, "No, you misunderstood. Mr. Lu isn't going to fire you, he's giving you half a day off to go back and rest up. Otherwise..."Hmm," Lu Hanchuan replied, his expression calm and unruffled. Aside from a hint of fatigue, he didn't show any signs of worry that something major had happened.

"How did you get here" he asked.

Fu Xiaoyao followed him toward the desk, answering as she walked, "I was a little worried, so I came to take a look."

"Worried" Lu Hanchuan sat down in front of the chair. "Worried about me or worried about the company"

Fu Xiaoyao, hearing him ask this, shifted her gaze slightly uncomfortably. "They're all the same," she said, "but I want to know, how do you plan to solve this"

"This seems to have nothing to do with you," Lu Hanchuan said, looking at her.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, "What do you mean it's no big deal I am also..."

"Alright, I'll handle this myself. You don't need to worry about it, just go back now." Lu Hanchuan began shooing him away.

"But I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Let's talk later. I have to go to the Land Management Bureau and I don't have time to stay here." Lu Hanchuan said, pulling out the floppy disk from his computer.

Fu Xiaoyao seeing the situation, there was no way, she could only sigh, preparing to leave.

But just as she was about to turn around, Lu Hanchuan called her back, "You last night..."

"Hm" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him.

Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyelids, "Did you come back last night"

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response, "You were drunk last night, Aunt Song asked me to come back and change your clothes for you."

Lu Hanchuan tightened his grip on the playing cards in his hand, his voice dropping considerably. "Then why are you leaving Is Tang Yi's apartment more appealing than your own home"

Fu Xiaoyao frowned, "How do you say that"

"Did I say something wrong Your reaction doesn't seem like you prefer Tang Yi's apartment more" Lu Hanchuan stood up, his dark eyes fixed on her.

She couldn't tell what emotions were in his eyes, and that calm unsettling her.

She clenched her palms, forcing herself not to overthink. She calmly replied, “I don’t prefer anyone else’s apartment more. The reason why I didn't go back to the villa, I think the reason is already very obvious. Aunt Song can see it, Tang Yi can see it, and I don’t believe you can’t see it. But what about you You haven’t shown any indication!”

Lu Hanchuan's pupils trembled, but he didn't answer.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at the ceiling, brewing her emotions for a moment, then continued: "Since we've said it all, I won't hide anything anymore. To be honest, I moved out and won't go back because I want an apology from you. I think my request isn't high, but you pretend not to understand. Do you think I'd feel good about this"

She pointed to her chest, and without waiting for Lu Hanchuan's response, she continued, "No, it hurts a little bit. I even doubted many times, whether you, Lu Hanchuan, are worth me loving anymore, because in your heart, your dignity, your self-respect, your face is more important than me!"

"That's not true!" Lu Hanchuan refuted in a deep voice.

Fu Xiaoyao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Then tell me, what's going on If I'm wrong, why can't you even utter an apology"

Lu Hanzhan's eyelids drooped, "I will apologize, but not now!"

“Not now” Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback, then a little angry. “Why can’t it be now It’s just an apology. If you said it, I might forgive you. And an apology only takes a few seconds, it wouldn't waste your time at all, so why…”

"I make my own decisions!" Lu Hanchuan interrupted her.

Fu Xiaoyao choked, "What decision"

"You'll know later." Lü Hánchuan pressed his temples.

Fu Xiaoyao let out a sarcastic laugh, "Always 'in the future,' huh In your world, there's only the future, never the present Why don't you ask if I'm willing to accept this so-called future of yours You always do things this way, making decisions on your own, assuming everything will go as you planned, without ever considering others. Look inside yourself..."

She pointed her finger at the man's chest, "Is this fair to me I always think of you in everything I do, and you Have you ever thought about me I had decided not to see you until you apologized to me, but when I heard you were drunk, I rushed back to take care of you. Would you do the same for me"

She was always so soft-hearted towards him.

But what about him How could he treat her like that!

"Don't get so excited!" Lu Hanchuan reached out and grasped Fu Xiaoyao's finger that was poking at his chest. "I did this for your own good!"

“For my own good” Fu Xiaoyao’s lips curled into a mocking arc, then she withdrew her finger and took two steps back. “I don’t want your kind of ‘for my own good’. That’s just what you think is best for me, but it’s not what I want. What I want is for us to be honest with each other and advance together, but you obviously don’t understand that.”

Upon saying that, she gave him a disappointed look and turned to leave.

Ding!

The elevator arrived.

Fu Xiaoyao buried her head and walked into the elevator, resulting in a collision with someone coming out from inside.

The man let out a muffled grunt as she bumped into him, and she herself stumbled back two steps before grabbing onto the elevator door to steady herself. Otherwise, she would have fallen and embarrassed herself.

"Are you alright" Fu Xiaoyao steadied herself and quickly went to ask the person she had bumped into, wanting to know if they were hurt anywhere.

The man also held onto the elevator door, when he heard her question, he paused his chin-rubbing action and then lifted his head, looking at her in surprise, “Xiaoyao”

"Si Nian" Fu Xiaoyao's mouth opened in surprise. She couldn't believe she saw him here.

Shao Siniang withdrew her hand from under her chin and smiled, asking, “What brings you here”

"He bought the place, didn't he So come and have a look." Fu Xiaoyao pointed in the direction of the CEO's office. "As for you, you came here..."

"I'm here for the same reason, to ask if Hanchuan needs any help." Shao Si Nian replied.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded in understanding, "I see. Then you go find him. I'm leaving first."

"Wait." Shao Siniu grabbed her arm.

Fu Xiaoyao looked up at him, "What is it"

"I noticed you seemed down when you mentioned Hanchuan. Did you two have an argument" Shao Si Nian asked with concern.

Fu Xiaoyao gave a bitter smile. "No, I just had a conversation with him that made me very unhappy."

"What did you say"

"It's nothing, I won't say much. He's going to the Land Administration Bureau in a while. You should go find him as soon as possible, or he won't have time later." Fu Xiaoyao pulled her arm back.

Shao Si Nian saw that she didn't want to talk, and he didn't want to force her. After rubbing the finger that had touched her arm, he put it back in the pocket of his white coat. "Well then, I'll go find him first. But come to the hospital tomorrow, okay"

"How so" Fu Xiaoyao's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"Shao Si laughed, young and lighthearted, "You should get a checkup."lickered when she heard the two words, finally showing a glimmer of reaction. "Aunt Song, he lied to me.""Madam..." Aunt Song looked at her, then at her phone, furious inside.What is Mr. doingHow come...
