Chapter 103: Yu Lin's Invitation

on, all employees in the company must dress neatly. I don't want to see anyone trying to disrupt the atmosphere in the office."Otherwise, pack your things and leave!His sharp gaze swept over a few fem..."Huh" Fu Xiaoyao was a little dumbfounded.

Lu Hanchuan chuckled softly, "I don't have any intentions of doing anything with you, I'm very tired!"

Fu Xiaoyao's face was flushed, knowing she had misunderstood. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

"I... I didn't mean that." She stammered, trying to defend herself.

Lu Hanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then what do you mean"

"Nothing, I'm sleepy." She quickly closed her eyes.

Lu Hanchuan didn't let go, "Mmm."

He closed his eyes again.

Fu Xiaoyao hesitated, "Hánchuan..."

"What's wrong" Lu Hanchuan asked, his thin lips barely moving.

Good night!

Lu Hanchuan's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he wanted to open them, but in the end, he didn't. "Good night..."

He replied.

Ten years had passed since his parents’ accident, and no one had ever said goodnight to him again, not even his grandfather or Xiao Ya.

And now he heard it again, still from this woman whom he had always looked down upon.

At this moment, Lu Hanchuan's heart had already melted into a pool of soft water. He pulled Fu Xiaoyao into his arms, his strength was great, but he didn't hurt her, "Go to sleep."

Fu Xiaoyao sensed a hint of cherishing in his actions, and was taken aback for a moment.

She didn't know how he suddenly became so gentle with her, nor did she know what he was thinking at this moment.

But she didn't ask, for fear that if she did, he would retract all the warmth he was currently showing, and it wouldn't be worth it.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao rubbed against the man's chest, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep peacefully.

A good night's sleep......

The next day, Fu Xiaoyao woke up to find Lu Hanchuan had already left.

She sighed regretfully, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up before going downstairs.

"Madam," Aunt Song greeted her with a smile as she came down, "Good morning."

"Good morning, Aunt Song," Fu Xiaoyao yawned. "Has Hanchuan left"

"Mr. went out early this morning." Aunt Song replied, then added, "He went back to the old house."

"Is something the matter" Fu Xiaoyao asked in bewilderment.

Aunt Song shook her head. "I'm not sure about that. Why don't you ask your husband yourself He should tell you."

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes and smiled wryly, "Auntie Song, don't joke. How could he tell me about his affairs"

"That's not necessarily true, I think recently you and your husband seem much closer."

Fu Xiaoyao was a little stunned by what she said.

Close with Lu Hanchuan

How is that possible!

"Aunt Song, don't tease me." Fu Xiaoyao waved her hand, not believing Aunt Song's words.

Auntie Song gave a light smile. "Madam, I'm not teasing you. Haven't you noticed that your husband has been more patient with you lately He takes the initiative to talk to you, and when you ask him something, he answers and even smiles at you. These were things he never did before."

"This..." Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened.

Hearing what Auntie Song said, it seems to be the case.

"Madam, you still don't believe it" Song Yi looked at Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao did not answer.

She doesn't disbelieve, but lacks the confidence to believe.

What if she's now close to Lu Hanchuan and in the future they go back to how things were before

"Alright, since Madam doesn't believe me, I won't say anything more. Madam, go have breakfast." Aunt Song changed the subject.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded. "Good."

After breakfast, she went to the company.

Yu Lin waited outside her office door. When she saw her coming, she warmly took her arm, "Xia Yao, you're finally here."

"What's wrong" Fu Xiaoyao took out her key card and opened the door.

Yu Lin rubbed her shoulder, "Of course I have something to ask you. Don't you remember that my birthday is in a few days"

"Of course, I wouldn't forget your birthday, even if I forgot everyone else's." Fu Xiaoyao tapped Yu Lin's forehead. "So you came to find me this early morning just for this"

"That's right, I specially came to give you this invitation." Yulin took out a red invitation card from her bag and placed it on the table.

Fu Xiaoyao picked it up and looked, smiling, "An invitation Are you sure you're having a birthday and not a wedding"

"Of course not, it's not my mom." Yulin plopped down on the seat.

Fu Xiaoyao's gossipy spirit flared up, "By the way, I haven't seen Uncle and Aunt in ages. How are they doing"

"My mother is doing well, but my father..." Yulin lowered her eyes, and the air around her was filled with a tinge of sadness.

Then Fu Xiaoyao realized she had asked a question she shouldn't have, wishing she could slap herself.

"Sorry, Linlin, I..." She apologized hastily.

Yu Lin waved her hand to interrupt her, "Alright, I'm not blaming you. Why are you so nervous"

Fu Xiaoyao still felt very guilty.

She knew that Yu Lin cared most about her father's health.

Now, Yulin looks happy with a smile on her face. She seems to have no worries, but in fact, Yulin has bottled everything up inside her heart, only keeping it to herself.

"Let's not dwell on that. Come over with your husband next time, you'll understand why I made such a big fuss about my birthday this year." Yulin sighed.

Fu Xiaoyao's hand trembled as she held the invitation, "Do I have to bring my husband"

"Of course not, it's just that you have a husband and can bring him along. But Xiaoyao, you don't seem to want to bring your husband to my birthday party." Yulin looked at her suspiciously.

"No, it's just that my husband doesn't like these kinds of occasions, so..."

"If you don't like it, just don't come. I'm not forcing you," Yu Lin said with a smile, patting her shoulder.

Fu Xiaoyao let out a breath. "That's good."

"Alright, I've sent out the invitations, so I should get going." Yulin got up and said goodbye.

"I'll walk you to the door," Fu Xiaoyao hummed.

After finishing her words, she walked ahead and just as she opened the door, she was startled by the man standing outside.

"General Lu" Fu Xiaoyao exclaimed.

She looked back and saw Lu Hanchuan outside the door. She was startled and quickly greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Lu!”

"Who are you" Lu Hanchuan's gaze swept past Fu Xiaoyao to land on Yu Lin.

Yu Lin introduced herself, "My name is Yu Lin and I'm a staff member in the planning department."

"You are Yu Lin" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow.

Yulin was surprised, "Mr. Lu knows me"

Lu Hanchuan's gaze swept over Fu Xiaoyao, "I heard you came here for something"

"I'm friends with Xiaoyao...no, Secretary Fu is a good friend of mine, so I came up to see her." Yulin replied.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, "This is work time!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I'll go back right now." Yu Lin's face changed slightly, and she quickly apologized.

After apologizing, she lowered her head and quickly walked away.

Only Lu Hanchuan and Fu Xiaoyao were left at the door, the air slightly thick with tension.

Fu Xiaoyao took a breath, "Hánchuan, don't blame Línlín, if you have to blame someone, blame me."

"Why should I blame you" Lu Hanchuan looked down at her.

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned, "Because it's work hours now, she came to find me..."

"Alright, what did she want with you" Lu Hanchuan waved his hand, changing the subject.

Fu Xiaoyao brushed her hair behind her ears, "She came to deliver the invitation. Her birthday is in a few days."

"Where are you going"

"Hmm."

Yu Lin is her best friend, of course she has to go!

If she doesn't go, Yulin might still be angry.

Thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, "Hanchuan..."

Lu Hanchuan's eyelids twitched. "What's wrong"an't come to keep you company today.""Why" Qi Ya was startled, "Is there something keeping you here""No." Lu Hanchuan looked at the closed study door. "Today is Fu Xiaoyao's birthday, and I promised t...
