her first and give her the respect a wife deserves. Otherwise, there are plenty of people willing to treat her well." 。"Are you talking about yourself You really are like that to her..." "Ah!" Shao Si...She suddenly remembered that today was the 15th, payday.

At this time of year, her mother would always call early to ask for money.

"No, there isn't." Aunt Song thought for a moment and shook her head.

Fu Xiaoyao wasn't quite convinced. Her mother was the kind of person who put profit above all else, and it was impossible to imagine her not asking for money.

"Where's my phone" she turned her head left and right, searching for it.

"Here it is." Auntie Song took her cell phone out from the bedside table.

Fu Xiaoyao couldn't get up, she could only lie down. Fortunately, her left hand was fine and didn't hinder her from checking her phone; it was just that holding her hand up for a long time made it a bit sore.

Fu Xiaoyao flipped her phone over and over again, but she still couldn't find a missed call from her mother. She was stunned.

"That's strange, she didn't even ask me for money!" Fu Xiaoyao gripped her phone, her hand trembling slightly.

Auntie Song had followed her for three years and knew everything about her family. Hearing her sigh, she smiled and said, "That's a good thing, you're finally free."

"It's a good thing, but I feel a little uncomfortable. I always feel that if she doesn't come this time, she will ask for more next time." Fu Xiaoyao put down her phone and said worriedly.

Aunt Song sat on the edge of the bed, peeling an apple, “It’s not impossible, let me tell you, your parents they ask you for money every month, and it gets more and more. It’s all because you spoil them.”

Fu Xiaoyao raised her arm to cover her eyes, "I can't refuse them. They are my parents. I know them well. If I don't give them money, they will do anything. I'm afraid that one day I'll hear them making a scene at the Lu Group's building. At that time, it would implicate the Lu family and bring shame upon them."

To have such parents is her tragedy.

But she couldn't just leave them to their fate.

Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to society because she doesn't know what they might do for money.

“Actually, I think you’re overthinking things. Just tell your husband directly, I believe he won't ignore it. You can't do anything to them, but your husband can.” Auntie Song sliced the peeled apple into small pieces and threaded them onto toothpicks, handing one piece to Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao took a bite and said, "I didn't want to bother him, so I never told him the specifics about my family."

"Mr. Ke is your husband, what kind of trouble could there possibly be" Auntie Song said dismissively.

Fu Xiaoyao popped the last bite of apple onto her toothpick and swallowed it with a shrug. "It's different," she said, "I treat him like my husband, but do you think he treats me like his wife"

"This..." Aunt Song fell silent.

Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her eyes, feeling like her eyesight was even worse. "That's why I didn't want to bother him. To be honest, it wasn't that I didn't want to bother him, but I didn't want to hear him say no. But last time he already gave my mom five million."

"Huh Did Mr. give me money" Aunt Song exclaimed.

"Hmm," Fu Xiaoyao replied, "My mom asked me for money last time, and he just happened to see it. He gave her five million yuan. I think this time should be that five million hasn't been used up yet, so he didn't come looking for me."

When five million is used up, she's sure to come looking for him again.

"Let's talk about it next time. If the amount is too large, Mrs. Song, you should still speak to your husband about it." Aunt Song suggested.

"I'll consider it," Fu Xiaoyao yawned and fell asleep again.

She slept for several hours.

When he awoke again, it was dark.

Fu Xiaoyao moved her body slightly, feeling something beside her that was blocking her, preventing her from moving in a large arc.

"What is this" Fu Xiaoyao reached out in confusion, and her hand touched a scorching chest.

She was stunned!

Chest

Is it still a man's

Fu Xiaoyao swallowed nervously, bearing the pain as she struggled to turn her head. She saw Lu Hanchuan lying beside her, fast asleep.

When did he come

How could she not know even a little bit

Just when Fu Xiaoyao was staring at Lu Hanchuan, completely captivated, Lu Hanchuan suddenly opened his eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao was startled, her body jolting backward.

Seeing her actions, Lu Hanchuan's pupils constricted, and he immediately reached out to hug her, "Fu Xiaoyao, you're crazy!"

Doesn't this woman know she just had surgery

How dare she just roll over like that!

Fu Xiaoyao lay in Lu Hanchuan's arms, still shaken. She gasped for breath until the fear subsided, then pouted with grievance. "I wasn't crazy! You scared me!"

"It's you who didn't sleep and stared at me." Lu Hanchuan ruthlessly exposed her.

He was always a light sleeper, waking at the slightest sound.

She was a living person, staring at him with wide eyes. It would be strange if he didn't react.

But I didn't expect her to be so easily startled, though luckily...

"So you knew all along," Fu Xiaoyao said awkwardly, rubbing her nose.

She still thought he was asleep, unaware that she was watching him.

"If you don't want others to know, unless you do nothing." Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips and replied.

Fu Xiaoyao nervously stuck out her tongue, “I didn’t mean to, it’s just that you suddenly fell asleep here. I was a bit surprised. When did you come”

"It's been a few hours." Lu Hanchuan let go of her, lying flat beside her, replying softly.

The beds in the VIP ward were still quite large, they were regular double beds. Two people lying on them was pretty much the same as lying at home.

But Fu Xiaoyao felt sorry for him, and gently bumped his arm, "Then why don't you go back to sleep Hospitals aren't suitable for resting."

"That's enough." Lu Hanchuan moved his arm away a bit. "I know what suits me best. If you're not awake, just keep sleeping. When you wake up, just be quiet, my head hurts!"

"Headache" Fu Xiaoyao panicked, ignoring his words and looking at him nervously. "Does it hurt much Should I call a doctor"

"Don't!" Lu Hanchuan frowned, "If you just be quiet for a moment, my headache will go away. It's your noise that's giving me a headache."

Fu Xiaoyao choked.

Annoyed by her

So he's complaining that she talks too much and is too noisy

Fu Xiaoyao realized this, and felt a little unhappy in her heart, but she still obediently closed her mouth and stopped talking.

The ward fell silent once more.

After his mind returned to calm, Lu Hanchuan closed his eyes again. Soon, his steady breathing filled the air, indicating he had fallen asleep once more.

It was only then that Fu Xiaoyao realized that a circle of black had fallen beneath his eyelids, and even under his nose there was a faint layer of stubble.

Did he not rest last night

Otherwise, how would you look so tired

Fu Xiaoyao had many questions she wanted to ask Lu Hanzchuan, but he was asleep now. She didn't dare to wake him, so she could only silently press those questions down. Her eyes gazed softly at his sleeping face.

It seems like this was her first time seeing him so closely after he fell asleep.

In the past few times they shared a bed, he didn't come back after she fell asleep, or she simply didn't have a chance to see his sleeping face during that activity.

Seeing him now, asleep, she realized how adorable he looked. All traces of his usual coldness were gone, replaced by a peaceful and serene expression.

Such a Lu Hanchuan made Fu Xiaoyao look at him more and more, unable to stop. She didn't know how long she had been looking, when suddenly hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Then, a knock echoed through the silent night. “Is Mr. Lu here”

Fu Xiaoyao instinctively looked at the man beside her, wanting to see if he had been woken up.

Seeing him merely furrow his brow without waking, she let out a slight sigh of relief and lowered her voice to ask, "Who is it"nd kicked her.Fu Xiaoyao was kicked in the stomach, and with a cry of pain she fell to the ground. The fruit platter in her arms flew out as well, landing on the floor with a crash and shattering into...
