k to see them." The village head nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes. "Your grandparents would be so happy knowing you still remember them. It wasn't for nothing they raised you.""Grandpa Fu, you'r..."This..." Aunt Song's expression became difficult.

"Auntie Song, just tell me!" Fu Xiaoyao grabbed her hand, eagerly wanting to know everything.

Aunt Song was very conflicted, "Madam, the master didn't let us tell anyone."

"But Grandpa isn't here," Fu Xiaoyao insisted.

This time, she wanted to know everything about what had happened between Lu Hanchuan and Qi Ya back then.

"The old master is not here, but just in case he is found..."

"If you don't say, I won't say, grandpa won't find out." Fu Xiaoyao interrupted Auntie Song.

Aunt Song took a long look at her, and finally sighed with resignation, “Fine, I’ll tell you. But Madam, you must know this is a secret, and absolutely mustn't tell anyone.”

"I promise!" Fu Xiaoyao patted her chest excitedly.

Aunt Song nodded and began to speak, "Three years ago, on the morning of Mr. [Last Name]'s birthday, Qi Ya called Mr. [Last Name] and asked him to go find her, saying she had a surprise for him. Mr. [Last Name], without any defenses, went out. The result of her so-called surprise was just taking Mr. [Last Name] to watch the sunrise."

"And then" Fu Xiaoyao stared at her, her eyes wide and unwavering.

“Then something unexpected happened!” Aunt Song’s expression turned grim. “I don’t know how, but when they came back after watching the sunrise, they ran into a group of thugs. Those thugs saw that Mr. and Qi Ya were well-dressed and wanted to rob them. But Qi Ya defended herself, she actually…”

"What's the matter" Fu Xiaoyao instinctively tightened her grip, and her heart skipped a beat.

Aunt Song slapped the armrest of the chair, "She actually exposed Mr. Li's identity! She told those thugs that Mr. Li was the CEO of Lu Corporation and asked them to let her go, saying there was nothing to do with Mr. Li. Then she pushed Mr. Li towards the thugs and ran away herself!"

"She actually did this" Fu Xiaoyao was shocked, her entire worldview shattered.

"No, this woman left her husband alone and ran away. She just ran away and didn't even call the police or contact the Lu family. She acted as if nothing had happened at all and returned to the Qi family with peace of mind!"

"What about Lu Hanchuan How was he at that time" Fu Xiaoyao cared most about this.

Aunt Song sighed, "Mr. Li was in very bad shape back then. When we found him, he was lying unconscious on the ground with all sorts of injuries. If we hadn't rushed him to the hospital, he might not have made it!"

After saying that, she wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes also turned red, "How could Qi Ya do this Isn't she in love with Lu Hanchuan How could she be so heartless"

"Love" Auntie Song scoffed disdainfully, "Compared to Mr. Love, she loves herself more!"

"You're right, if she truly loved Lu Hanchuan from the bottom of her heart, how could she do this" Fu Xiaoyao agreed with Aunt Song wholeheartedly.

Aunt Song nodded. "That's right, I think she enjoys her husband's love even more."

Fu Xiaoyao's heart ached, and her lips pouted. "What about the end Did Qi Ya get any punishment from those hooligans"

"Humph, what lesson" Auntie Song said angrily, her face contorted. "That woman Qi Ya left the country the day after the incident happened, just afraid that Mr. and Master would take revenge on her. As for those thugs, they're still rotting in jail."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao frowned deeply, very puzzled. "What does Lu Hanchuan think Qi Ya has treated him so well, how could he..."

"What else could she think, sir loves that woman, doesn't he" Aunt Song snorted.

Fu Xiaoyao's expression froze, then she gave a self-deprecating smile. "You're right, he loves her, how could he possibly hurt her For her, he wouldn't even care about his own child's life, what else couldn't he do"

"Madam..." Aunt Song was taken aback, realizing she had spoken wrongly. She frowned in remorse and closed her eyes, "Madam, it's all in the past. Sir no longer loves Qi Ya. He loves you!"

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes trembled slightly, "Love me"

"Yes, didn't Dr. Shao tell you"

“He did say that, but I don’t believe it. If Lu Hanchuan really loved me, how could he have ignored me for three years How could he still be entangled with Qi Ya So I don’t believe him!” Fu Xiaoyao said with a cold face.

Aunt Song also knew why she didn't believe it.

After all, what he did was something that no one would believe if anyone else had done it.

In most people's eyes, loving someone means treating her well, protecting her, cherishing her, and not wanting her to suffer any grievances or harm.

And what Mr. did, where was the love for his beloved It was no different for his enemies, so it's understandable that Mrs. didn't believe him.

"It's alright, sir has realized his feelings now, and I believe he will be good to you from now on." Auntie Song lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge inside.

Fu Xiaoyao listened without a word, only silently adding another handful of firewood to the earthen stove. The bright flames illuminated half her face, making her bitterness all too apparent.

How is she

But he and Qi Ya had worn away all of her dignity and confidence, leaving only fear.

I fear believing him this time, next time waiting for her will be hellish pain again!

Aunt Song was concentrating on cooking porridge and didn't see Fu Xiaoyao's current appearance. She continued to say to herself, "I know that Madam, you still love your husband, otherwise you wouldn't care about him so much. Besides, your husband also has feelings for you now. Why don't you give your husband a chance Maybe what awaits you is happiness."

"I gave him a chance." Fu Xiaoyao's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Her opportunity was to get Qi Dongming sent to prison.

For him, this was simply child's play.

But he refused, for Qi Ya's sake he was unwilling to do so!

"Oh... Mr. is really something else." Auntie Song shook her head with a sigh, "Madam, I've told you so much, just hope you think it over carefully and don't regret it later on."

Fu Xiaoyao managed a strained smile. "I know, Auntie Song, you just want me to get back together with Lu Hanchuan, but I have a knot in my heart. I really can't take that step!"

"That's because you haven't opened up yet. Just wait until you do." Aunt Song said, patting her head, "Alright, the porridge is almost ready. Ma'am, go call your husband to eat. He hasn't eaten anything since last night."

"Well, I'll go right now." Fu Xiaoyao put down the firewood in her hand and got up, walking towards the room.

"Lu Hanchuan," she first knocked on the door.

There was no answer from inside the door.

Fu Xiaoyao was a little confused. Could she have fallen asleep

Thinking to herself, she quietly opened the door and instinctively walked inside. As soon as she entered, she saw someone lying on the bed, fast asleep with their eyes closed.

"He's actually asleep!" Fu Xiaoyao stood by the bed, her head slightly lowered as she looked at the man.

The man looked very tired. He had dark circles under his eyes and his brow was furrowed. It seemed like he hadn't slept well at all...

Wait!

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed in suspicion, she slightly leaned forward and stared at Lu Hanzchuan's face.

He couldn't be pretending to sleep, could he

He didn't even take off his coat or shoes, he didn't look like he was really asleep at all.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao extended a finger and gently poked the man's arm, "Lu HANCHUAN Lu HANCHUAN"

The man was still.

Fu Xiaoyao touched her chin and muttered, "Really asleep"oe nodded. 。Lu Hanchuan saw that he didn't leave, raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Is there anything else" Miss Qi Ya has an appointment with you 。"Joe hesitated for a few seconds before replying,...
