hotel sign. A nameless heaviness settled in her heart.Lu Hanzhan saw that she didn't leave, and turned his head to look at her, "What's wrong""Hánchuan, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel really ne...In this situation, Lu Hanchuan's answer naturally had only one.

He glanced at her indifferently and turned back to the parlor.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips and didn't stay put. She continued walking towards the restroom.

"Poof..." As soon as she entered the restroom, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Why didn't she ever think Lu Hanchuan would be so childish, afraid that she would run around alone and wanting to follow her.

Seriously, I don't know what he's thinking. He wasn't like this before, how could he change so much in just one month

His attitude towards her before was completely cold, not at all like now. So why is he acting this way now Is it because he loves her

No, no, no, impossible!

Fu Xiaoyao ruled out the possibility of Lu Hanchuan falling in love with her.

She still didn't believe he would fall in love with her. After he had ignored her for three years, he suddenly came back to live as husband and wife with her. She thought he had come to his senses and was willing to accept her as his wife.

In the end, he attacked her very core. Afterward, she believed he wouldn't meet Qi Ya, but later, he still often went to see Qi Ya, even defending Qi Ya and Qi Dongming so much that he didn't care about his own child being gone.

So this time, she absolutely couldn't believe him, nor could she soften her heart. What if he said he loved her and had ulterior motives

Thinking this through, Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, her expression and eyes hardening once again. She absolutely couldn't harbor any more hope for Lu Hanchuan.

After finishing her business, Fu Xiaoyao came out of the restroom and heard a commotion outside the courtyard gate.

She tilted her head in confusion, then walked over and opened the door.

"What's going on..." Fu Xiaoyao looked out in surprise at the large crowd gathered outside her house, wondering how they all ended up there.

"Goodness, little Yao is out." A woman saw her and smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners.

Fu Xiaoyao's body trembled, and she felt goosebumps all over. "Auntie, how did you come here"

"We're here to see Xiaolu. We all heard from the village head that Xiaolu is going to invest in our village and help us get rich!" The aunt said excitedly.

Fu Xiaoyao understood, they were here to thank Lu Hanchuan.

"Then come in, he's inside." Fu Xiaoyao opened the door and let them in.

They didn't hesitate and swarmed into the yard, searching for Lu Hanchuan.

After they had all gone in, Fu Xiaoyao finally let out a breath and closed the courtyard gate. Then she glanced toward the main hall, let out a snort of laughter, and walked toward the kitchen.

She knew that Lü Hánchuan was most ill-equipped to handle so many people, especially civilians who weren't from his world.

She wanted to see if he would be at a loss for words when faced with so many of their fellow villagers!

Just thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao felt herself getting excited. She quickened her pace and ran into the kitchen, "Aunt Song."

"Madam, you're just in time." Seeing her, Aunt Song's face lit up with surprise.

Fu Xiaoyao blinked, "What's wrong"

"So many people just came to the house, I'm looking for tea leaves to make some tea, and now I found them. I was going to call you," Aunt Song replied with a wave of her hand.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled, "So that's how it is. The tea leaves are in the cabinet too."

As she spoke, she took out the tea leaves and offered them to Aunt Song.

After receiving it, Aunt Song took it to make tea.

Fu Xiaoyao waited on the side, waiting for her to finish soaking, and proactively took over the task of sending tea.

Auntie Song couldn't refuse her, so she had to let her go.

"Madam, be careful now, this tea is very hot." Aunt Song saw her carrying the tray, a bit struggling, couldn't help but worryingly remind.

Fu Xiaoyao insisted that she could do it, “Don’t worry, Aunt Song, I know my limits.”

"I hope so." Auntie Song sighed with a mixture of amusement and disbelief.

Fu Xiaoyao carried a tray into the main hall. The hall was packed with people, everyone talking and chattering noisily.

Lu Hanchuan sat in the main seat, seemingly listening to them very seriously. There was no impatience on his cold face.

But Fu Xiaoyao immediately saw that he wasn't listening at all, but was thinking about something else.

Because she knew him and had experienced it herself, sometimes she would gather her courage to talk to him first. He wasn't willing to listen, and his thumb unconsciously rubbed against something.

Just like he is now!

She thought that the reason he was still sitting there instead of asking her to leave or leaving himself was probably due to his upbringing, which had taught him to endure the noise.

"Ahem." Fu Xiaoyao lightly coughed twice, interrupting the conversation.

The living room fell silent all of a sudden.

Lu Hanchuan also returned to his senses from his thoughts, seeing her holding such a large tray, his thin lips pursed, he immediately stood up and walked towards her, taking the tray from her hands.

"How come you're the one delivering it, Auntie Song" He placed the tray on the table and asked in a deep voice.

Fu Xiaoyao wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Aunt Song is busy in the kitchen, so I came over to deliver it."

After finishing her words, she picked up the teapot and was about to pour tea.

But Lu Hchuan grasped her hand, stopping her. "Let me do it, you rest."

"You..." Fu Xiaoyao looked at him in surprise.

He saw her like that, so he simply pressed down on her shoulders, pushing her into the chair and having her sit down. Then he picked up the teapot and poured cup after cup of tea, offering cups to these villagers as well.

The villagers were taken aback when he personally handed them tea, and they hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Especially the middle-aged woman who had chatted with Fu Xiaoyao at the hospital entrance before, her eyes were practically shining when she looked at Lu Hanchuan. She seemed like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

Fu Xiaoyao was a little unhappy. Although she hadn't forgiven Lu Hanzhen yet, she still loved him in her heart. How could she accept others looking at him with such eyes.

Then she stood up, moved the chair to the side, and sat down again.

She sat down, her back just blocking the view of the aunt.

This way, the aunt couldn't see Lu Hanchuan anymore.

Her move was very natural, and her expression didn't show any guilt whatsoever. So, besides Lu Hanchuan, everyone else present, including the aunt, hadn't noticed anything amiss.

"Hmm..." Lu Hanchuan saw Fu Xiaoyao's smug expression, his lips curled up involuntarily. He felt both surprised and satisfied with her just now.

Unexpectedly, she would even proactively help him deflect those kinds of looks that he didn't know how to respond to.

What's good is that she did this, it means she still cares about him.

Thinking about it, Lu Hanchuan was just about to say something to Fu Xiaoyao when he saw her reach out and pick up the tea on the table to drink.

He narrowed his eyes for a moment and snatched the tea from her hand.

Fu Xiaoyao was dumbfounded, "What are you doing"

"Here, drink this." Lu Hanchuan pulled out a carton of milk and shoved it into her palm. "You should drink less tea, it's bad for your health."

"I'm not well..."

Fu Xiaoyao was halfway through her sentence when the aunt laughed and interrupted, "Oh my, look at the young couple. Little Xiaoyao, Lu has been so good to you. You found a good husband."

Fu Xiaoyao's face stiffened.

Is Lu Hannan good to her

What a ridiculous statement.

He's been nice to her, just these past two days. What has he ever done for her that was good

"Auntie, you're joking," Fu Xiaoyao replied with a cold voice, her eyes lowered.

Lu Hanchuan naturally noticed her strangeness, and understood to some extent the reason for her current state. A feeling of guilt suddenly arose in his heart, "Don't worry, auntie, I will treat her better from now on."

"Heh heh, look, the young couple is so affectionate. Well, since that's the case, let's not disturb your intimacy. We're leaving first." The aunt said, getting up.

Seeing this, others also agreed it was time to leave.

Soon, everyone in the living room left, but Auntie didn't. Instead, she hesitated and looked at Fu Xiaoyao, then finally fixed her gaze on Lu Hanchuan, "Xiaolu, come out with me, I have a secret to tell you."uan lived under the same roof but in separate rooms. They rarely met, and even when they did, they ignored each other, remaining silent. The atmosphere was awkward and suffocating.Seeing this, Aunt So...
