ing a lot lately, it's not because...""Aunt Song!" Fu Xiaoyao hurriedly interrupted her.Aunt Song only then reacted, realizing she almost let it slip. She quickly put down the fruit and went back to t..."Sigh..." Fu Xiaoyao let out a breath, bending down and gently lifting Lu Hanchuan's arm, wanting to place it back on the bed.
However, just as she was about to put his arm on the bed, he suddenly woke up. His deep eyes were filled with a cold and sharp light.
Fu Xiaoyao was startled, her whole body stiffening in place.
Finally, after a few seconds, Lu Hanchuan woke up, putting away the look in his eyes, "Scared you"
His voice was hoarse and grating, like a dry, empty well.
Fu Xiaoyao gradually calmed down, "It's okay, I wasn't really scared, but just now..."
"Sorry, work has been stressing me out lately. I thought it was someone else." Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples and sat up, offering a simple explanation.
Fu Xiaoyao shook her head. "It's nothing, I'll get you a glass of water."
As he said this, he turned and left the room.
After a few minutes, she came back with a cup of slightly yellow water and handed it to the man sitting on the bed, "Here, honey water, good for your throat."
Lu Hanchuan didn't expect her to know his throat was dry and even brought him honey water. His heart warmed, "Thank you."
"You don't have to thank me, it was nothing." Fu Xiaoyao sat down by the bed.
Lu Hanchuan finished his water and handed the cup to her.
After taking it, she asked again, "Want some more"
"No." Lu Hanchuan shook his head.
Fu Xiaoyao hummed softly, placing the water cup on the bedside table. "When are you coming back"
"I've been back for two hours." Lu Hanchuan looked at his wrist and replied.
Fu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow, "Only two hours, so I didn't disturb your rest"
"No."
"But..." Fu Xiaoyao secretly looked at his tired face, "Your complexion isn't good. Didn't you rest last night"
"No time to rest, always busy." Lu Hanchuan pinched his bridge of the nose, replying tiredly.
Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, "So you're back now Is everything at the company settled"
"About that, but what comes next is still unclear."
"What does that mean"
Lu Hanchuan's face turned cold, "This time the headquarters incident was deliberately targeted, and the person behind it is powerful. Qiao Mu spent a whole night and didn't find out who it was. It can be seen that this person will still have action in the future."
"How is this possible!" Fu Xiaoyao was astonished, "To be targeted maliciously, did you offend someone"
"The marketplace is a battlefield, and I've made too many enemies. It's not easy to figure out who's behind this sabotage right now." Lu Hanchuan closed his eyes irritably.
Seeing him so tired, Fu Xiaoyao didn't continue asking. She picked up the cup on the bedside table and stood up, "I can't help with your company matters. Since you haven't rested all night, why don't you sleep for a while longer I'll go first."
"Wait." Lu Hanchuan called out to her.
Fu Xiaoyao stopped and turned to look at him, "What's wrong"
Luhànchuan opened his eyes, “Come here.”
Fu Xiaoyao tilted her head, suspiciously returning to the bedside.
Lu Hanchuan pointed at the bedside, "Put the cup down."
"What are you doing" Fu Xiaoyao asked as she followed suit.
Lu Hanchuan saw that she had obediently put down the cup, his lips curled into a slight smile. Then, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. In the midst of her bewildered gaze, with a single forceful pull, he drew her into his embrace.
"You..." Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened.
Lu Hanchuan pressed a finger to her lips. "Hush, be quiet for a while, I have a headache."
"If your head hurts, just rest. Why are you dragging me into this" Fu Xiaoyao blinked at him.
Lu Hanchuan adjusted his posture and lay down with her, then pulled the blanket over to cover both of them. "Alright, stop moving, stay with me for a while."
"But I don't want to sleep." Fu Xiaoyao struggled for a bit, wanting to get up from his embrace.
But Lu Hanchuan increased his grip, pulling her closer. "Don't move, if you move again, I can't guarantee what will happen."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's body immediately stiffened.
Lu Hanchuan satisfiedly closed his eyes, "Sleep, don't speak anymore."
"…" Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes.
This man, threatening her again!
She doesn't want to sleep, but he insists she does. It's just not reasonable.
Although she thought this in her heart, Fu Xiaoyao really didn't move or speak. She stared at the man's handsome face with wide eyes, never taking them away for a moment.
After staring for what felt like an eternity, she heard the man's steady and rhythmic breathing once again, signaling that he had fallen asleep.
This was still her first time seeing him fall asleep so quickly, back in his bed.
It goes without saying that he was exhausted last night.
I also don't know if he had dinner when he came back, I forgot to ask just now.
But now he's asleep, and she doesn't want to wake him up.
"Sigh..." Fu Xiaoyao sighed, then yawned, feeling her eyelids getting heavy.
She knew that she was also starting to feel sleepy, but she wasn't sure if it was contagious from the man.
But she didn't think much of it, her body slightly moved, finding a comfortable position in the man's arms, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She slept until the next morning.
When she woke up, Fu Xiaoyao was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe she had slept for so long, over ten hours straight.
Lu Hanchuan came out of the bathroom and saw Fu Xiaoyao sitting on the bed, hugging a pillow and staring blankly.
"Awake" he arched an eyebrow.
Fu Xiaoyao heard his voice and jumped, returning to her senses. "You... you're still here"
"If I'm not there, then I'm here" Lu Hanchuan asked her, rubbing his hair.
"I'm not saying that, I just mean, you haven't gone to the company yet."
"Mmm, there's still a while. Get up and wash up, then eat breakfast." Lu Hanchuan called to her.
Fu Xiaoyao nodded. "Okay, I'll come right away."
She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to the bathroom.
After washing up, she came to the living room. Lu Hanchuan had already dried his hair and was sitting at the table waiting for her.
Fu Xiaoyao saw this, quickly sat down, and glanced at the lavish breakfast on the table, "You bought this"
"Have Joe buy it." Lu Hanchuan simply replied, handing her a pair of chopsticks.
Fu Xiaoyao took it, “Thank you.”
"Eat." Lu Hanchuan picked up a bun and gave it to her.
Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head to look at the buns in her bowl, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and then she picked one up and took a bite.
The buns tasted really good, even better than she had ever had before. Plus, they were bought by Qiao Mu, so it was obvious that the source of these buns wasn't ordinary.
After all, how dare Qiao Mu treat Lu Hanchuan casually and just buy breakfast outside
"By the way," Fu Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something halfway through her meal, put down her chopsticks and looked at Lu Hanchuan, "I have a question for you."
"What's the problem" Lu Hanchuan took a sip of tea and spoke calmly.
Fu Xiaoyao swallowed the bun in her mouth, “It’s about Linlin. She said that you are about to return to headquarters to take charge and will also be bringing a group of employees for training at the headquarters. She was selected, was it your suggestion”
"You're talking about Yu Lin" Lu Hanchuan looked at her.
Fu Xiaoyao nodded, "Hmm."
"It was me." Lu Hanchuan admitted.
Fu Xiaoyao blinked. "Why Is it because of me"
"Yes, she looked up your information. She's quite fond of you. As your husband, I naturally would help her a bit. And she's capable at work, so I'm giving her a chance. As for whether she can use this opportunity to climb higher, that's entirely up to her." Lu Hanchuan said lightly.
Fu Xiaoyao let out a breath. "So that's how it is, I thought..."
"What do you think" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow lightly.lly tired and don't have the energy to entertain you.""I don't need your permission. You're my wife, and this apartment is also mine. So whether I go up or not, I don't need your consent at all. Do yo...
