ing his hand down lightly on her shoulder as a gesture to have her wait a moment.Fu Xiaoyao nodded knowingly and walked softly to sit aside, watching him examine patients.To be honest, Shao Sian usual..."Huh" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback. "Why did you suddenly ask me that"

Lu Hánchuan lowered his eyelids, "Just ask around."

"That's so." Fu Xiaoyao nodded, indicating she believed him, but felt a little amused. "Your question is a bit too strange, don't you think"

So, what's your answer" Lu Hanchuan raised his eyes to look at her.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her finger, "This depends on the situation. You just said that if my current family isn't really my family and my true family has a grudge against me, then whether or not I recognize them depends on the size of that grudge. If..."

"What" Lu Hanzchuan tightened his grip on the water glass.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled, "If I was treated like my parents treat their sons and daughters, as a cash cow they hate, then it wouldn't be so bad. At most, our relationship would just be a little colder."

"What if it was like Qi Dongming, kidnapping you, extracting your bone marrow, and aborting your child" Lu Hanchuan's eyes flickered with an unreadable expression as he asked the question.

Fu Xiaoyao frowned, "How do you use this as an example"

"Answer me!" Lu Hanchuan's voice was sharp.

Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback, not understanding why he reacted so strongly. However, she still answered truthfully, "No."

"What's your reason" Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips.

Fu Xiaoyao's face was cold, even disgusted. "I can't accept being treated like this towards my father. Such a person, instead of being family, is more like an irreconcilable enemy. Moreover, what kind of father would be so cruel to his daughter"

Lu Hanchuan fell silent, lowering his head slightly. The stray hairs on his forehead obscured half his face, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment.

After a few seconds, he spoke again, "Then if all of this was done without him knowing you were his daughter, then..."

"Then there's even less room for forgiveness," Fu Xiaoyao cut him off. "To do such a vicious thing to your own daughter, just because you don't know it's her, that isn't a reason to be forgiven. Besides, why would you not know it was your daughter Did he abandon his daughter since she was young"

Lu Hanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He wasn't sure if she had been abandoned by Qi Dongming since childhood.

The specifics of the truth are still pending verification.

Fu Xiaoyao saw that Lu Hanchuan didn't respond, and couldn't help but purse her lips. "So, abandoning his post, plus these actions, how can you say that Qi Dongming is worthy of forgiveness and reconciliation"

"Oh, I see what you're thinking." Lu Hanchuan folded his legs.

He asked these questions mainly to probe her true opinion of Qi Dongming, and then decide whether or not to tell her her real identity.

But now it seems unnecessary.

Given her hatred for Qi Dongming, if she knew that Qi Dongming was her biological father, she might collapse.

"Han Chuan, I find you're acting very strange today" Fu Xiao Yao frowned, eyeing Lu Han Chuan with a peculiar look.

Lu Hanchuan rubbed his thumb, "What's strange"

"Everything's just so strange." Fu Xiaoyao straightened her spine and listed them one by one. "First, coming back so early, and then asking me these nonsensical questions. Don't you have something on your mind"

Otherwise, how could someone ask such an outlandish and laughable question as if Qi Dongming was her father

"Nothing on my mind, don't think too much, you read your book slowly. I'll go upstairs and rest for a while." Lu Hanchuan pressed his brow bone, then stood up.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at his tired face and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy, "Alright, go ahead. I'll order dinner for you later."

Lu Hanchuan hummed in response and went upstairs past her.

Fu Xiaoyao watched the departing figure, her gaze lingering for a long time before finally returning.

When Auntie Song came in, she joked, "Madam, you're so reluctant to part with your husband. Why don't you go upstairs and keep him company"

"Aunt Song!" Fu Xiaoyao glared at her with a slightly blushing face.

Aunt Song burst into laughter.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head helplessly, "I'm not reluctant to part with him, I just think he's being mysterious today."

"Mr. is a little off today." Aunt Song nodded in agreement.

Fu Xiaoyao touched her chin, "You think he's hiding something from me"

"Does your husband still hide things from you, madam" Auntie Song said with a chuckle.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes twitched, "That's true..."

"So, my dear wife, don't overthink it. Everyone has their secrets, big or small. Just let your husband be. Besides, if he doesn't want to talk about it, you won't be able to pry it out of him anyway." Aunt Song patted her shoulder comfortingly.

Fu Xiaoyao touched the book in her hand, "I know, he's not willing to talk about it usually, and I wouldn't ask. But for some reason, with these questions he asked today, my heart feels inexplicably concerned."

"What's there to care about Don't you really believe what your husband asked, that Qi Dongming is your father" Aunt Song teased.

Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her temples, "If that's really the case, I'd rather die. Well, Auntie Song, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to read."

She picked up the book and waved it around.

Song Yi glanced at the cuckoo clock in the corner, "Well, Madam, look here, I'll go to the kitchen and stew some bone soup for you."

"Hmm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

When evening came, Aunt Song had cooked dinner.

Fu Xiaoyao saw that it was almost time, put down the book, and prepared to go upstairs to call Lu Hanchuan.

In the room, Lu Hanchuan was still asleep.

Fu Xiao Yao stood by the bed, slightly lowering her head, preparing to wake him up.

But before her hand could reach him, he suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist, pulling her close.

Fu Xiaoyao cried out in surprise, then was pulled onto the bed by Lu Hanchuan, who rolled over and pinned her underneath.

"How did you get up here" Lu Hanchuan gazed at her.

Fu Xiaoyao blinked, "It's seven o'clock. Come up for dinner."

Seven o'clock

Lu Hanchuan frowned.

He slept for so long

"Hánchuān." Fù Xiǎoyáo raised her hand and lightly poked his shoulder, "Can you get up You're really heavy, ah."

Lu Hanchuan raised his body slightly but didn't get off her. "What did you just call me"

"Hanchuan," Fu Xiaoyao looked at him innocently.

Lu Hanchuan's lips curled into a barely perceptible arc, "Hanchuan You forgot what I asked you to call me before"

"What... what's going on" Fu Xiaoyao looked confused.

She really couldn't remember.

Lu Hanchuan let out a low hum, cupping her chin, "You really forgot what you called me in front of Qi Ya last time"

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes rolled around for a moment before stopping, her pupils widening suddenly.

"Remembering now" Lu Hanchuan's lips curled into a deeper smile.

Fu Xiaoyao averted her gaze and did not answer.

Lu Hanchuan turned her face towards him, "Look at me!"

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him timidly.

"Speak up." Lu Hanchuan said with a hint of command in his voice.

Fu Xiaoyao's lips moved, but she made no sound.

Lu Hchuan narrowed his eyes, "If you don't call out, then don't expect me to get up."

"This is a threat!" Fu Xiaoyao awaited him.

Lu Hanchuan scoffed, "It doesn't matter what you say, as long as we achieve our goal. Shall we call"

He asked her again.

Fu Xiaoyao blushed and bit her lip, "Old... Husband..."

Although she had shouted at him like that before, it was just once.

So she still felt shy saying that title out loud, at this moment.

However, Lu Hanchuan wasn't satisfied. He leaned closer to her and emphasized, "This won't do, you have to shout it together."

Fu Xiaoyao couldn't stand it anymore, so she bravely went all out. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she shouted loudly: "Husband! Is this okay"'t believe it. In my memory, you Lu Hanchuan shouldn't be such a rule-abiding person."Lu Hanchuan's eyes flickered a few times, "You're right, I don't follow the rules, but what I said just now is als...
