Chapter 49: Shared Secret

'm really fine. Maybe I ate too well in the hospital these past few days, so my appetite hasn't come back yet. I'll be fine tomorrow. I'll go first."She waved her hand, picked up the bag from a chair..."Are you alright" Fu Xiaoyao was startled. 。Chi Dongming showed a pained smile, "Yes, you resemble someone I used to know. If not for the fact that person had passed away, I would have thought you were her daughter..." Just when he walked in, he was surprised... 。This girl, she looks so much like Anning! 。Especially her eyes, they were just like Anning's, as if carved from the same mold. 。 “That...Mr. Qi, who are you talking about” Fu Xiaoyao blinked her eyes curiously and asked. 。Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips without making a sound, only scrutinizing Qi Dongming, apparently wanting to know the answer as well. 。But Qi Dongming waved his hand and did not answer, “It's all in the past. It's been over twenty years since he passed away, so let's not bring it up!” 。Fu Xiaoyao saw the pain hidden in his eyes, and understandingly, she didn't ask any further. In her heart, she guessed that the person should be his former lover or closest relative. 。It's getting late. 。Qi Dongming glanced at his watch, patted his pants and stood up. "Hanchuan, then I'll go first." 。" "Hmm" 。"Lù Hánchuan replied with a cold nod." 。Qi Dongming saw that he didn't mean to get up and see him off, and secretly sighed in his heart. 。It seems that Hanchuan and Xiaoya are truly not meant to be. 。Otherwise, this attitude wouldn't be so cold. 。You know, before, Hanchuan was very respectful to him, his prospective father-in-law. He wasn't like now, not even calling him "Uncle" with any warmth at all. 。Thinking of this, even though Qi Dongming loved his daughter dearly, he couldn't help but feel a pang of resentment towards her. 。After Qi Dongming left, Fu Xiaoyao looked at Lu Hanchuan and asked, "Hanchuan, is Miss Qi awake" "Not yet, she'll wake up at night." 。"Lu Hanchuan replied faintly." 。Fu Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, "Then will you go with her tonight" Lu Hanchuan originally wanted to answer yes, but when he saw the dimness in her eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't speak. 。After two seconds, he parted his thin lips lightly, "We'll see." 。Unbeknownst to him, his answer was no different from a positive one in Fu Xiaoyao's ears. 。She softly murmured an "oh," and fell silent, her mood seeming a little off. 。Lu Hanchuan didn't know what she was unhappy about, and he didn't ask. He just said directly, "Grandpa called you yesterday..." 。"Grandpa" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, "Grandpa, what do you need me for" "It's nothing important, just wondering why you haven't gone back to eat dinner yet" 。Fu Xiaoyao remembered, she had promised her grandpa to have dinner with him last night before going to Tangshi Group. 。"How will you tell grandpa" she grabbed his hand. 。Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her, his eyes flashing slightly. He didn't pull his hand away, but let her hold it, "You said you had a stomach ache again and went to the hospital" 。" That's good 。Fu Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. 。She was afraid he would just make excuses to placate her. 。Given his cold and bothersome personality, he wouldn't be unable to... 。"Grandpa also said he'd come see you later." 。Lu Hanchuan uttered another astonishing statement. 。 Fu Xiaoyao panicked, "But what should I do in my current situation How can I meet my grandfather" She wasn't really having a stomach ache... 。Anyone with a stomach ailment is lying in bed, unable to even move. 。The old man had built his fortune from scratch back in the day, creating a vast Lu family business. Even in his old age, he wasn't easily fooled. At first glance, he could see right through things. 。"Hanchuan, can't you just make Grandpa not come" Fu Xiaoyao pouted. 。Lu Hanchuan, however, simply raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. “If grandpa came, my stopping him would make us seem more suspicious. So you have to act, making him oblivious to what surgery you had.” 。"But I don't have any acting skills!" Fu Xiaoyao was about to cry. 。"No acting skills, can't even fake sleep" Lu Hanchuan looked at her with a slanted eye. 。Fu Xiaoyao's expression froze for a moment. 。Yes, she could pretend to be asleep! Thinking of this, she immediately calmed down. Not only was she not panicked, but she even felt a little smug inside. 。This was a joint effort between her and Lu Hanchuan to prank the old man. 。Although I'm sorry to the old man, it's really exciting. 。This feeling was like they shared a secret that couldn't be spoken, and she looked forward to the arrival of her grandfather. 。Fu Xiaoyao pulled the quilt and couldn't help but laugh out loud. 。"Nothing, I just thought of something funny." 。Fu Xiaoyao smiled at him. 。Lu Hanchuan had no interest in knowing what she was thinking. Hearing his phone ring in his pocket, he took it out and started answering the call. 。Two minutes later, he put away his phone and stood up. 。

Fu Xiaoyao stared at him expectantly, “You’re leaving”

"Hmm, back to the company, Tang Yi has already left. "> 。Lu Hanchuan patiently replied to her. 。Fu Xiaoyao smiled, "Then you go, be careful on the road." 。"

I know

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!。Lu Hanchuan smoothed the wrinkles on his suit jacket as he spoke, "If anything comes up, you can give me a call. I'll be over as soon as I finish with this collaboration." 。"

Good" 。Fu Xiaoyao's eyes curved into a smile. 。Lu Hanchuan glanced at her, then turned and walked away. 。In fact, he didn't know why he deliberately said that afterwards. 。But seeing her smile, it seemed like this wasn't so bad. 。Not long after Lu Hanzhen left the hospital, the old man came. 。Fu Xiaoyao closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, just as she had said before. 。As expected, when the old man saw that she was still asleep, he didn't stay long before leaving. Before leaving, he only instructed Aunt Song to take good care of her. 。Aunt Song did want to tell the truth about Miss Fu being hospitalized, but thinking of her husband's warning, she finally held back. 。“Aunt Song, has Grandpa passed away” There was no sound from the ward, so Fu Xiaoyao poked her head out from under the covers with a pair of bright, curious eyes. 。Auntie Song looked at her with amusement and replied, "Don't worry, Madam. The old master has already left." 。" "That's great" 。Fu Xiaoyao let out a light sigh, "I almost suffocated." 。"Hee hee, who told Madam you were pretending to sleep and fooling your old husband Afraid that you didn't look convincing enough, you even covered your face!" 。"Well, there's nothing I can do about it either. If I didn't act like this, grandpa would definitely see right through me." 。Fu Xiaoyao brushed her hair out of her face and said helplessly, 。"That's how it is, but Madam, you and your husband keeping this from Master isn't right. Master will find out sooner or later." 。"Auntie Song seemed a little worried. 'What will you do then'

Fu Xiaoyao was silent for a moment. 'The main thing is that Hanchuan doesn't want to tell grandpa, so I'll follow his wishes. As for what happens then, we'll just deal with it when the time comes.'" 。" Of course, Master wouldn't want the old master to know. The old master hates anyone from the Qi family the most! If he knew that Master had you donate bone marrow for someone from the Qi family, he would surely whip him!" 。"Aunt Song curled her lips and said" 。Fu Xiaoyao widened her eyes, "Really A riding crop" "Of course it's true, three years ago the old master had already beaten the master..." 。"Oh my!" Fu Xiaoyao covered her mouth 。Lu Hanchuan was actually whipped by the old man with a riding crop. 。"Well, enough of that. I'm sure you must be hungry," Aunt Song said, fearing she had spoken too much and inadvertently revealed something she shouldn't have. She quickly changed the subject and scooped a bowl of lean meat porridge from the thermos, stirring it and blowing on it as she went. 。I just asked Dr. Shao, and he said you can eat some light food for now. Once the anesthesia wears off, you can start eating more nourishing foods. I'll make big bone soup for you every day then so you can recover quickly. 。" Okay, thank you Aunt Song. 。"Fu Xiaoyao felt both touched and amused." 。After finishing the congee, Fu Xiaoyao felt some strength returning to her body, and the pain was lessened. Her mood improved considerably as well. "By the way, Aunt Song, has my mom looked for me"g into her concerned eyes, Lu Hanchuan's heart warmed. The frown on his brow also softened slightly. 。Fu Xiaoyao nodded, "It's okay." 。" The elevator has arrived! 。Fu Xiaoyao stepped out of the eleva...
