. “I’m sorry, Hanchuan. I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have done this. But I had no choice. I want to live, and I could only resort to such desperate measures.”"Do you want to live, so you have to le..."It's over, I'm really in trouble now..." Fu Xiaoyao cried with a mournful face.

"What else" Yulin looked at her in confusion.

Fu Xiaoyao waved her hands, "It's nothing, I mean my husband rented this outfit and it cost a lot of money, his credit card is still not paid off."

"You said your clothes are rented"

"Or else I'd still be working, wouldn't I If my husband was really rich, would I have to toil away every day" Fu Xiaoyao looked away, her smile dry and strained.

"You're right, I haven't seen you wear any name brands either." Yulin rubbed her chin, feeling it made sense.

"Okay, stop talking. CEO Lu's speech has started," Fu Xiaoyao whispered, gently elbowing him.

Yu Lin received a reminder and immediately straightened her back and closed her mouth.

On stage, Lu Hanchuan's deep gaze swept across the entire audience. Fu Xiaoyao felt that he had looked at her for two seconds longer, perhaps it was just an illusion.

"Good evening everyone, I am Lu Hanchuan..." Lu Hanchuan raised the microphone and began to speak.

He first delivered his speech in Chinese, and then considering that there were many foreign partners present, he gave it again in English. His English was fluent and authentic with a noble British accent, making the listeners captivated.

"I finally know how unfair it was when Nüwa created humans." Yulin said, holding her face and looking smitten.

Fu Xiaoyao turned her head and glanced at her, "What do you mean"

"That means Lu always was hand-crafted by Nüwa, while we were just clay figures she molded with a flick of her wrist."

Fu Xiaoyao's lips twitched, unable to follow up.

This metaphor doesn't seem off...

"Xiaoyao," Yulin called out to her.

Fu Xiaoyao blinked, "What's up"

"You said Lu Zong is such a perfect man, what kind of woman deserves him" Yu Lin suddenly asked.

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and stammered, "I... I don't know..."

He doesn't need to be matched with other women.

He is already married.

But she didn't dare to say it.

"I bet she's the same perfectly matched woman, with a family background, looks, and even abilities equal to Mr. Lu's. That's the only way she could be worthy of him," Yu Lin analyzed seriously.

Fu Xiaoyao pouted and subconsciously retorted, "No way, he's already perfect. If he married another woman who was just as perfect, it would be like looking in a mirror."

Yu Lin stared at Xiao Yao, who was a little too excited, "Xiao Yao, what's wrong with you I only said that whoever is worthy of President Lu. Why are you reacting so much…"

"I..." Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath to calm herself, realizing her actions just now were too impulsive. She quickly squeezed out a smile and explained, "I just think President Lu is already perfect, he shouldn't need to find another wife who is equally perfect, so..."

"That makes sense!" Yu Lin nodded without hesitation, "You were so excited just now, I thought you had something to do with Mr. Lu."

"How...how is that possible." Fu Xiaoyao clutched her handbag nervously, forcing a laugh. "There's no way I could be related to President Lu."

"I think so too, after all, ordinary people like us wouldn't be noticed by Mr. Lu."

Fu Xiaoyao frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, "What's wrong with ordinary people Can't ordinary people marry Mr. Lu"

"I didn't mean it like that," Yu Lin rolled her eyes. "I just meant that someone like President Lu wouldn't look at us ordinary people."

"Why" Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, asking with some urgency.

"You're stupid, of course it's because we're from two different worlds."

"Two worlds..." Fu Xiaoyao repeated the four words, tasting a bit of bitterness.

She and Lu Hanchuan, one from an ordinary family, the other born into a wealthy family, aren't they people from two different worlds

Yu Lin didn't notice Fu Xiao Yao's strangeness, and she continued to say to herself: "So I think Lu needs a wife who has something in common with him, someone who can walk side by side with him, not an ordinary woman who is incompetent and always needs his protection to survive in the wealthy family."

Her words left Fu Xiaoyao feeling embarrassed. Her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. She looked at the man on the stage with a complex expression in her eyes.

Is that so

Is the wife he needs really the kind Yu Lin described

If so, why marry her After getting married, you ignored her for three years. Now that you remember her again, it's just for her bone marrow.

Thinking of these things, Fu Xiaoyao felt uncomfortable in her heart and suddenly didn't want to stay any longer.

"Linyin, I want to go back," she mumbled with her eyes downcast.

Yu Lin grabbed her hand, preventing her from leaving. "What are you going back so early for In a while, there will be an important session where female guests draw lots to choose their dance partners. If we get lucky and draw Lu Zong, it won't have been in vain that we came tonight."

"General Lu attended too" Fu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Yu Lin replied, "Of course, this is his welcome party. As the protagonist, how could he possibly miss it."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao immediately dispelled the thought of leaving.

She didn't have confidence that she would win Lu Hanchuan.

But at least you should know who he's dancing with.

Finally, after a long wait, Lu Hanchuan's speech ended. He handed the microphone to Qiao, his assistant, who was in the audience. "You'll be hosting afterwards," he said.

Joe's assistant nodded slightly and stepped onto the stage, "Next is the highly anticipated dance segment everyone has been looking forward to. I believe everyone knows the rules, so I won't say much here and will directly begin. Please invite the first lady to draw lots, Fu Xiaoyao!"

Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback when she heard her name, "Me"

"Yeah, it's you!" Yu Lin excitedly patted her shoulder. "Xiao Yao, you're so lucky, you were the first one! Go on up now."

"Oh…" Fu Xiaoyao mumbled in response, under the gazes of many and Yu Lin's urging, she picked up her skirt hem and walked onto the stage.

Jo's assistant handed the box of slips to her, "Secretary Fu, please draw a slip."

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao nodded, her peripheral vision quickly glancing at Lu Hchuan, taking a deep breath, she reached into the box and pulled out a piece of paper.

She was just about to open it when Joe's assistant quickly pulled the note away and smiled politely at her, "I got this."

Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback for a moment, then politely smiled back, "Then I'll trouble Assistant Qiao with that."

She stepped back, nervously awaiting his announcement of the results.

Joe's assistant handed the draw box to a staff member nearby, calmly opened the paper strip, and when he saw the name on it, he was surprised and pushed his glasses up. "Secretary Fu has good luck! Congratulations, you drew the dance partner as Mr. Lu!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was startled.

Fu Xiaoyao's mouth gaped open, she couldn't believe her ears.

What

She actually managed to draw Lu Hanchuan.

But… will he dance with heru Hanchuan suddenly said.Fu Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, she said nothing, he had hit the nail on the head.Yes, that's it. She just can't get over that hurdle, which is why she can't be with him.Ev...
