ng the book on your leg" 。While he was taking a bath, she picked up a fashion design book and started reading it. 。 "Not yet..." 。Fu Xiaoyao raised the book, indicating that she had yet to read hal..."It's my younger brother. He's been asking me for money frequently lately, saying he's starting a business. I'm a little skeptical, so I want you to help me check what he's been up to recently and where the money is going." Fu Xiaoyao pleaded with her hands clasped together.

"Fine," Lu Hanchuan said, his chin tilting up slightly.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up to bow to him. "Thank you, Hanchuan,"

She hadn't thought he would agree.

"You're welcome." Lu Hanchuan lightly brushed off nonexistent dust from his hospital gown.

Fu Xiaoyao stood straight, a shy smile on her face, "I still have to thank you, after all, I've troubled you."

"It's nothing major, I'll have Qiao Mu look into it for you later." Lu Hanchuan said lightly.

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao nodded in agreement.

The next few minutes passed in silence, the air thick with unspoken words.

Lu Hanchuan got up and walked towards the hospital bed, Fu Xiaoyao hurriedly followed him, helping him lie down.

"I heard from Qiao Mu that it was you who carried me out of the race track" Lu Hanchuan pulled over the quilt and suddenly spoke.

Fu Xiaoyao paused her action of straightening the pillow, then smiled faintly and replied, "It's not really that amazing. Assistant Qiao found me before I even memorized the race track."

"So you still carried it, right" Lu Hanchuan looked at her.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response.

Lu Hanchuan's face was cold and aloof, but his heart was deeply moved. His deep eyes scanned her petite figure repeatedly.

After he woke up from the surgery, Qiao Mu told him everything that had happened while he was unconscious.

When he heard that Fu Xiaoyao had walked out of the obstacle course step by step behind him, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He could hardly imagine how this tiny woman managed to carry him.

"Why" Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips.

Fu Xiaoyao tilted her head, her eyes bewildered, "What for"

Lu Hanchuan didn't answer immediately, but fell silent for a few seconds before speaking, "I heard Qiao Mu say that it was almost dark then, and snow had started to fall. If they hadn't found us, what awaited us wouldn't be buried by snow but freezing to death. In such a dangerous situation, did you ever think about abandoning me and leaving"

"Leave me behind" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback by his words, and it took her a while to recover. However, her face was still pale, "How could I possibly have such a ridiculous idea"

"Really"

“Of course not!” Fu Xiaoyao calmed down and poured him a glass of water, “You’re my husband, how could I possibly do such a thing Besides, you were the one who saved me in the first place. If it weren't for you protecting me, I might have been hurt long ago..."

"What else" Lu Hanzhan took the water glass.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head. "It's nothing, anyway, I'm not that kind of person. I can't do something so heartless. Even if it wasn't you suffering with me, but a stranger, I wouldn't abandon him, let alone you, who is my husband."

"Is that so..." Lu Hanchuan's eyelids drooped, his eyes unreadable.

But Fu Xiaoyao could clearly feel his sadness.

Is he sad

Fu Xiaoyao suppressed the surprise in her heart and gently touched Lu Hanzchuan's hand, "What's wrong with you"

Lu Hanchuan wearily sucked in a breath, "It's nothing, just thinking about some old times."

"The past"

"Hmm." Lu Hanchuan pressed his temples.

Some past events that he still can't let go of!

Three years ago, he risked his life to save Xiaoya, but she abandoned him at the scene and left him alone. If it hadn't been for someone sent by his grandfather who arrived in time, he might have died there.

Now he's going through something similar again, but the outcome is completely different. Fu Xiaoyao didn't abandon him, and even used her slight frame to carry him out of the track...

Thinking of this, Lu Hanchuan suppressed the inexplicable beating of his heart and said softly, "Fu Xiaoyao, thank you."

Fu Xiaoyao was looking at the medicine she was about to take, not hearing what he was saying, and looked over blankly, "Hanchuan, what did you just say"

"It's nothing." Lu Hanchuan's lips curled up slightly, his voice softened a lot, no longer so cold.

He was unwilling to speak, and Fu Xiaoyao didn't press him. She shifted her gaze back to the herbs, preparing the medicine according to the markings on top. She poured it into a bottle and handed it to him. "Hanchuan, take your medicine."

"Hmm." Lu Hanchuan replied with a grunt, taking the bottle and downing the entire contents in one gulp.

The medicine was very bitter, but he didn't wrinkle his brow at all, as if he wasn't eating medicine.

"Drink some water." Fu Xiaoyao poured another glass of water for Lu Hanzchuan.

Lu Hanchuan drank from her hand, "That's enough."

Fu Xiaoyao put the water cup back, "By the way, Hanchuan, how are your test results"

"Not bad, I'll be discharged tomorrow." Lu Hanchuan picked up his phone and pressed a few times.

>

"I am returning home to recuperate."

"But isn't that a problem Your bones aren't fully healed yet," Fu Xiaoyao said, looking at him with some worry.

Lu Hanchuan put down his phone. "It's nothing, I have Shao Sinian when I go back."

Since he was so insistent, Fu Xiaoyao had no choice, “Alright then, when will you return to China”

"Tomorrow."

Okay, I understand.

Let it be tomorrow.

Anyway, tomorrow is also the day when the team building ends.

"Hanchuan, are you hungry" Fu Xiaoyao put the medicine bottles on the bedside table back in order. As she glanced at Lu Hanchuan's phone, she realized it was already very late.

Lu Hanchuan picked up the remote control and turned on the TV across from the bed, "I'm not hungry, if you're hungry, just go eat yourself."

"Well, then I'll go first." Fu Xiaoyao didn't put on a show either, rubbed her belly and went out.

When she returned to the ward after her meal, there was one more person in the room.

"Madam, you're back." Qiao Mu paused his conversation with Lu Hanchuan and smiled faintly at her.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded. "Assistant Qiao."

"Just tell her what you want to say." Lu Hanchuan pointed at her.

Qiao Mu nodded, "Madam, the investigation you asked Mr. Lu to help with is already complete."

"Really" Fu Xiaoyao's spirits lifted, and she eagerly asked, "Then tell me quickly, what has Zixuan been up to recently"

She must find out Fu Zixuan's recent movements.

It's really strange that he keeps asking for money.

Especially that five million, where did it all go

"My lady, I can tell you, but you have to be mentally prepared!" Qiao Mu looked at Fu Xiaoyao seriously.

Fu Xiaoyao's heart tightened, "Psychological preparation Could it be that he did something wrong"

"It's about that, Fu Zixuan has recently developed a gambling addiction and frequents various underground casinos. I think you should understand what I mean"

“Gambling… gambling addiction” Fu Xiaoyao only felt a boom in her head, her small face instantly paling.

Qiao Mu looked at her devastated expression and sighed, "That's right, I investigated carefully. Since last month, he has been gambling, and so far, he has lost almost five million!"

"How could this be" Fu Xiaoyao swayed and fell backward.

Lu Hanchuan's pupils shrank, and he suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbing her wrist and pulling her back. She fell onto his legs as a result.

If this were any other time, she would have blushed and been shy, but right now, her mind was consumed with her younger brother's gambling, she didn't care about anything else. She got up from him directly, her emotions agitated as she grabbed Qiao Mu's hand, "Qiao Assistant, tell me, is this not true, right"ess in her eyes, and did not respond. 。Shi Mo waited for a while, but she still didn't see any sign that she wanted to answer. He shrugged his shoulders and didn't press her. 。"Alright, it seems you...
