and called Fu Xiaoyao to him, saying with a flattering tone, "Xiaoyao, from now on you'll be President Lu's personal secretary. Remember to assist President Lu well, and if you don't understand anyth..."No!" Shao Si Nian shook his head, adjusted his expression and smiled again, "It was the nurse who got the data wrong and didn't know how to modify it, so she asked me to come and take a look."

"Is that so" Fu Xiaoyao frowned, always feeling something was off about his words, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Of course, if your blood test results were a problem, wouldn't I tell you as your doctor

Fu Xiaoyao thought about it and agreed. She stopped talking, and her lifted spirits fell back down.

It's good that her blood test came back fine.

"Time's about up, let's go, sister-in-law. I'll take you to the CT room for a heart check." Shao Sian nonchalantly changed the subject.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response and followed him toward the CT room.

Halfway through their walk, he suddenly turned back and asked, "By the way, sister-in-law, you said your mom favors sons over daughters, right"

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, "Yes, what's wrong"

"Just asking." Shao Sinian turned his head back, his eyes dark and deep. "I'm just curious why they favor sons over daughters."

"Do you need a reason for favoring sons over daughters" Fu Xiaoyao thought his question was superfluous, and she said with a sneer, "Isn't it because only sons can carry on the family line!"

Shao Si-nian's glasses reflected the light, "Although it has always been this way, there are always exceptions..."

"What do you mean" Fu Xiaoyao tilted her head in confusion.

"It's nothing!" Shao Siniu smiled, took out a magnetic card from his pocket and swiped it on the reader. "The CT room is here, come in."

"Oh!" Fu Xiaoyao went in with him.

After completing all the physical examination items, it had already been two hours.

Fu Xiaoyao hammered her lower back as she came out of the restroom, sitting on the cool chair in the corridor to rest. Shao Sian fetched a glass of water for her from the tea room, "Drink some."

"Thank you." Fu Xiaoyao took it with both hands.

"You don't need to thank me, Hanchuan entrusted you to me, so naturally I would take care of you during this time." Shao Si Nian winked at her with a flirtatious smile.

Fu Xiaoyao's face was slightly flushed, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

She looked so shy and embarrassed, it really cheered Shao Siniang up.

Although this woman isn't particularly beautiful, there's a certain charm to her when she blushes.

It's a pity she married Kankawa, otherwise he would definitely have pursued her. He's never had a girlfriend like this before.

Shao Si Nian coughed twice, suppressing the inappropriate thoughts in his heart. He glanced at his watch. "Sister-in-law, it'll be a while before the test results are out. Why don't you go to my office and rest Hanchuan should still be there. I'll find you both when the results are ready."

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao finished the water in her paper cup and returned to his office.

Besides a young nurse organizing patient files, his office was empty. There was no sign of Lu Hanchuan.

Has he left

Fu Xiaoyao looked around, her eyes dimming. "Excuse me, have you seen a very tall and handsome man"

"Are you looking for Mr. Lu" the nurse asked.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded quickly, "Yes, do you know where he went"

Mr. Lu went to the VIP ward to see Miss Qi.

"Miss Qi" Fu Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback.

Could it be Qi Ya

"Where is the intensive care unit located"

"The ninth floor."

After confirming the ward floor and room number of Qi Ya, Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath and decided to go see her.

She was really curious about Qi Ya.

Curious about Qi Ya's appearance, even more curious about the relationship between Qi Ya and Lu Hanchuan.

She wasn't stupid. Lu Hchuan, for Qi Ya, was willing to let his wife suffer aftereffects, but he wouldn't give up on using her bone marrow to save Qi Ya's life. This showed that their relationship wasn't just as simple as he claimed it was – friends only!

Ding!

The elevator arrived.

Fu Xiaoyao walked out of the elevator, room by room, until she finally found the ward the nurse had told her about.

"This is the place." Fu Xiaoyao looked up at the nameplate above and then at the door to the ward.

The door was closed. She didn't knock, she just stood outside and looked through the glass on the door. Due to the limited field of vision, she could only see half a bed and Lu Hanchuan sitting by the bed, but not the person lying on it.

Fu Xiaoyao was a little disappointed, but she was quickly stunned by the faint smile on Lu Hanzchuan's face.

He smiled

He actually laughed!

Fu Xiaoyao stared at the man inside, her eyes wide with disbelief. She looked for a long time, her nails digging into her palms until they were almost breaking through the skin, before she finally came back to herself.

And in that instant, she suddenly understood, he wasn't incapable of smiling.

He was just the right person to make him smile, but it wasn't her.

Having figured that out, Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip and her eyes started to well up. A faint feeling of unwillingness and self-deprecation welled up in her heart.

Om!

The phone in his bag suddenly rang.

Fu Xiaoyao was startled and dropped the package.

In the ward, Lu Hanchuan heard a noise and turned his head to look at the door, just catching sight of Fu Xiaoyao's panicked face.

How is she here

"Hanchuan, what's wrong" Qi Ya saw Lu Hanchuan frown and lower his smile with concern.

"It's fine." Lu Hanchuan retracted his gaze without a trace, tucking the blanket around her. "Si Nian is outside. You lie down and rest. I'll go take a look."

"Why wouldn't you let Si Nian come in" Qi Ya asked, a hint of confusion in the depths of her shadowed eyes.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flashed, "It's not necessary, he's too annoying and will disturb you. I'll just go out."

He got up and walked toward the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw Fu Xiaoyao running towards the elevator.

"Fu Xiaoyao, stop!" Lu Hanchuan shouted coldly.

Fu Xiaoyao stopped her steps, turned around to look at him, then quickly lowered her head, as if he were some kind of ferocious beast.

Lu Hanchuan walked up to her with an unhappy face, "Why did you run"

Fu Xiaoyao stared at her toes without making a sound.

She didn't know what she was running from.

Instinctively, I wanted to escape this place and avoid being discovered by him.

To my surprise, he still found out.

"Have you finished your physical" Lu Hanchuan asked.

Fu Xiaoyao responded softly, "Mmm..."

So, what's the result

"Not out yet."

"You came here before I was even out. What are you doing" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, fixing her with a stare. "How did you know this place"

His tone of questioning made Fu Xiaoyao feel a little uncomfortable. She mumbled back, "I finished my checkup and didn't see you, so I asked the nurse. The nurse said you were here, inside... is that Qi Ya"

She cast a knowing glance towards the ward behind him.

Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips and did not answer, which was considered acquiescence.

"Then can I go in and see her" Fu Xiaoyao tightened the chain of her bag and looked at him nervously.

Lu Hanchuan immediately refused, his expression still a bit bad, "No!"

"Why"

"There's no need, you can see her. Just go back to the company first, I'll get the test results."

After saying that, he left her and went back to Qi Ya's ward.

"Have you finished talking to Si Nian" Qi Ya closed the book in her hand, raising a pale and weak smile at Lu Hanchuan who had just entered.

Lu Hanchuan saw her leaning against the headboard in a thin coat, his cold face showing a hint of displeasure. "How did you sit up Didn't I tell you to lie down"

"I lie around all day, my body is stiff. Just let me sit for a while," she pleaded, grabbing his arm and shaking it playfully.

Lu Hanchuan couldn't stand her like this. He looked her up and down carefully. Seeing that she was in good shape today, he didn't insist anymore and agreed to let her sit down.

"Put this on, don't catch a cold." Lu Hanchuan picked up a thick coat and gave it to her.

Qi Ya obediently took it, and while she was getting dressed, she asked, "By the way, Han Chuan, what did you say to Si Nian You were being so secretive and had to talk outside."I didn't initially love her either. She came courting me..."“So I feel sorry for my mother!” Fu Xiaoyao let out a sigh of frustration, trying to calm her turbulent emotions. “Love may not have a first...
