Chapter 40 He was Jealous

.Qi Dongming's stooped shoulders shrank even further, and he even lowered his head, not daring to meet Lu Hanchuan and his daughter's gaze."I... I signed it while you were in the bathroom." He replied...Fu Xiaoyao put down her chopsticks and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Tang, I'll take a call."

"Of course." Tang Yi made a gesture of invitation.

Fu Xiaoyao twisted her body and rummaged through her bag, pulling out her phone. Seeing the caller ID, she couldn't help but let out a small exclamation.

"Who is it" Tang Yi's gaze seemed to glance casually at the screen of her phone, then quickly retracted.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her phone. "My husband."

"I see, then go quickly." Tang Yi smiled knowingly.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, took her phone and stood up, walking out of the restaurant.

"Hello" she answered the phone standing by the roadside.

"Fu Xiaoyao, I told you to come back earlier, didn't I Where are you" A cold voice came from the phone, with a hint of suppressed urgency.

"I'm still out having dinner, what happened" Fu Xiaoyao's eyebrows furrowed, and she became tense too.

Lu Hanchuan took a deep breath, his voice lowered, "Xiaoya's illness has flared up. The hospital has changed the surgery time to the evening. They need you to go there now to prepare."

Fu Xiaoyao's body stiffened instantly, her small face paling at a visible speed, "This... this is so fast Wasn't it agreed for tomorrow"

She still has a lot of preparations to make, and there are many things she hasn't finished at work.

"It's not that fast, just a few hours earlier. It's not a big difference. Where are you now" Lu Hanchuan asked.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at the surroundings and gave an address.

Lu Hanchuan hummed in response, "Wait for me there, I'll come pick you up right away."

"Good..." Fu Xiaoyao twitched the corner of her mouth, squeezing out a terrible smile.

The call ended, she put down her phone and looked up at the sky.

The sky was a bright, azure blue, yet her mood was low and gloomy.

Lu Hanzhan's care and attention to his ex-girlfriend Qi Ya is truly admirable. It's enviable how much he cares for her.

How wonderful it would be if he could always be this attentive to her...

Fu Xiaoyao returned to the restaurant. Tang Yi saw that she was in a bad mood, with some redness at the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong with you You don't seem very happy."

“Well…something happened.” Fu Xiaoyao picked up her chopsticks again, but suddenly lost her appetite.

"Mind telling me about it Don't look at me like that, I majored in psychology when I studied abroad. Maybe I can offer some advice." Tang Yi propped his head up, his peach blossom eyes slightly raised, looking quite alluring.

Fu Xiaoyao, however, had no heart to appreciate the beauty before her eyes. She shook her head. "No need, Mr. Tang, really, it's nothing."

How can I possibly tell someone else about this

"Well, then forget it." Tang Yi shrugged his shoulders, looking disappointed.

Fu Xiaoyao fell silent, quietly eating her own food.

After she finished eating, her phone on the table vibrated.

Fu Xiaoyao picked it up and saw a text message from Lu Hanchuan: I'm here, where are you

Fu Xiaoyao was typing frantically: I'm at the restaurant, coming out soon.

Recalling the past, she put away her phone and stood up, "Mr. Tang, my husband is here to pick me up, so I'll leave first. I already bought it when I came in just now."

"Let's go, I've finished eating too." Tang Yi wiped his mouth.

Fu Xiaoyao had no objection and agreed.

The two walked out of the restaurant side by side. Tang Yi didn't know what he said, but Fu Xiaoyao covered her lips and smiled.

This scene, falling into Lu Hanchuan's eyes, wasn't so harmonious. Besides being dazzling, there was also a strange sense of irritability in his heart.

"Fu Xiaoyao!" Lu Hanzhan rolled down the car window, his voice impatient.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her smile and looked at him, "What's wrong"

What's wrong

She also asked him what was wrong

Lu Hanchuan's temples throbbed, his face darkening. "You said eating means with him"

He glared at Tang Yi.

Tang Yi smiled slyly, walked to the car door, and extended his hand towards Lu Hanchuan, "Lu總, we meet again."

Lu Hanchuan ignored him and simply threw two words to Fu Xiaoyao, "Get in the car!"

Then he slammed the car door shut, not giving anyone any face.

Fu Xiaoyao was embarrassed and quickly bowed to Tang Yi, apologizing, "I'm sorry, President Tang, my husband..."

"It's okay." Tang Yi casually put her hand back in her pocket and smiled nonchalantly, "Your husband is jealous. I understand."

Fu Xiaoyao smiled wryly and shook her head.

Jealous

Lu Hánchuan doesn't love her, how could he possibly be jealous because of her

"What's wrong" Tang Yi raised an eyebrow, "You don't seem to believe me."

"No." Fu Xiaoyao waved her hand. "Mr. Tang, then we'll go first. See you next time."

"Good." Tang Yi nodded.

Fu Xiaoyao pulled open the car door and got in. Before she could buckle her seatbelt, Lu Hanchuan had already started the car.

Fu Xiaoyao's body jolted suddenly, her forehead slammed against the car window. The pain made her gasp, her vision momentarily went black, and it took a while for her to recover.

"What are you doing" Fu Xiaoyao looked at the man driving with some anger.

She was certain he had done it on purpose.

Lu Hanchuan's gaze was fixed straight ahead, his expression icy cold. "Why are you having dinner with him"

"You're talking about President Tang" Fu Xiaoyao adjusted her posture and asked.

"Mr. Tang" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, he's the president of Tangshi Group. I specially thanked him for helping me get my bag back last time, so I invited him to dinner."

"Anything else" Lu Hanchuan glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

Fu Xiaoyao curled her lips. "What else could there be"

"It's fine." Lu Hanchuan's face improved slightly, not as cold anymore.

Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her still slightly painful forehead, "By the way, Mr. Tang said he agreed to your terms and will come to the company to sign the contract tomorrow."

"Understood." Lu Hanchuan replied faintly.

Fu Xiaoyao saw that he didn't seem to want to talk to her, so she also turned her head to look out the window and remained silent.

One hour later, the hospital arrived.

Fu Xiaoyao got out of the car and followed Lu Hanchuan into Shaosi Nian's office.

"Here" Shao Si Nian raised his head from the computer.

"How is Xiaoya" Lu Hanchuan asked.

Shao Si Nian twirled the pen in his hand, "Nothing's up for now, he should be awake by now."

"I'm going to go see her." Lü Hánchuan turned and walked towards the door.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked deeply into Fu Xiaoyao's eyes, "You..."

"Go ahead," Fu Xiaoyao smiled at him. "Since you're worried about her, go see her then. That way you can rest assured, right"

Lu Hanchuan frowned, "You really want me to go see her"

Doesn't this woman feel uncomfortable

Or does she simply not care that he's looking at other women

Fu Xiaoyao didn't know Lu Hanchuan's thoughts, nor did she bother to guess. She lowered her eyelids and said lightly, "Whether I want to or not is unimportant. What's important is Miss Qi Ya. Go quickly, don't keep her waiting too long."

Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips and stared at her intently for a long while. Suddenly, he let out a cold sneer, "You're quite understanding."

After saying that, he strode past her with his long legs.

When he left, Fu Xiaoyao's heart felt hollowed out, a dull ache throbbing within her. The smile on her face vanished, replaced by a rigid mask, and even her bright eyes were clouded with a layer of gray.

Empathetic

No, she didn't want to be agreeable about this kind of thing, but there was nothing she could do.

She knew that even if she said she didn't want him to see Qi Ya, he would still go, because in his heart, Qi Ya was much more important than her. So she might as well just let him go.

"Sister-in-law," Shao Sinians said after watching the whole process, "Actually, I also want to ask, aren't you angry"ave easily spent it lavishly over six years without running out. There must be something wrong here, causing the money to disappear abnormally. It's unclear what Qi Ya used the money for.Perhaps this...
