Chapter 278: The Pretend Weakness

r into the ward and slammed the door shut." 。Lu Hanchuan was left outside the door, feeling a little displeased, but he didn't say anything. He walked over and sat down in a chair nearby. 。In the war...Qi Ya yu was speechless, her mouth opening and closing several times before she finally managed to speak, "But... but so much time has passed. Looking at our past friendship, can't you just let it go"

"Friendship" Lu Hanchuan mused, repeating the two words. "Do we have friendship Even if we do, it's one-sided from me, and you've always been using my feelings, haven't you"

"No..." Qi Ya's expression became guilty, her voice much softer. "I didn't take advantage of you. I was also serious about being with you before."

Fu Xiaoyao, who had been silently watching the show from the top of the stairs, suddenly couldn't take it anymore. She lightly coughed and spoke up, "Miss Qi Ya, I advise you not to play the emotional card. No matter what you say, my husband won't change his mind about releasing your father. Besides, if we're talking about old feelings, I think my husband has already done enough."

The voice, "Husband," was like a feather brushing across Lu Hanchuan's heart. It stirred up a considerable commotion within him, even bringing forth a feeling of joy. This made his gaze towards her burn with heat.

This scene caught Qi Ya's eye, feeling particularly stinging. She wished she could turn Lu Hanchuan's gaze over, so he could only look at her like that.

But reason held her back, she only coldly replied, "Fu Xiaoyao, what do you mean"

Fu Xiaoyao smiled faintly, walked down the stairs, and stopped beside Lu Hanchuan. She affectionately took his arm, "What I mean is, my husband didn't let you and your father go to jail together, it's already because he's considering your past friendship and letting you off easy. So I advise you to be more obedient and avoid getting yourself in trouble as well."

"You...." Qi Ya glared angrily.

How could she not hear that Fu Xiaoyao was deliberately mocking her.

"Fu Xiaoyao, who do you think you are Do you have a say here" Qi Ya angrily pointed at Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao's lips curled into a smile, just about to retort, when Lu Hchuan suddenly pulled her behind him, "She is my wife, what do you say"

What I mean is, my wife naturally has the right to speak!

Qi Ya looked at Lu Hanchuan incredulously, "Hanchuan, you're actually defending her"

Similarly, Fu Xiaoyao was also somewhat surprised by Lu Hanchuan's actions.

But more is happy.

After all, he defended her in front of Qi Ya, but very rarely.

“I’m not speaking up for her, I should be facing her.” Lu Hankan scanned Qi Ya coldly and continued, “What Fu Xiaoyao just said is also what I want to say. I haven't put you in jail, which is already because of the past, I’ve let you off. So you better cherish it and don't come to me again to release Qi Dongming, go!”

He gave them the boot.

Qi Ya's eyes were red as she shook her head. "No, I'm not leaving. I came here for my father. If you don't agree, I won't leave."

"You threaten me" Lu Hanchuan's face turned cold.

Fu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow. How familiar this scene was

"Han Chuan, I'm not threatening you, I'm begging you. Please let my father go." Qi Ya reached out her hand, wanting to grab Han Chuan's arm.

Lu Hanchuan dodged directly, his face expressionless: "Impossible!"

"Don't I even deserve a chance to beg you" Qi Ya cried out in desperation.

Lu Hanchuan remained unmoved. "I've said it before, no matter what you do, I won't let go of Qi Dongming. If you want to kneel, then kneel."

"Good!" Qi Ya looked at him with determination, then walked towards the villa gate.

Fu Xiaoyao looked in the direction she had left, then at Lu Hanchuan, whose face was not looking good. She asked with a somewhat ambiguous expression, "Hanchuan, you said she left, or did she really go out to kneel"

"I don't know." Lu Hanchuan coldly spit out three words.

Fu Xiaoyao was a little worried, “Maybe I should go take a look.”

"No!" Lu Hanchuan pulled her back, not letting her go.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at his hand, "But... what if she really knelt down"

"Then let her kneel." Lu Hanchuan said.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, conflicted. "Then aren't you afraid she'll get into trouble kneeling"

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

Seeing his reaction, Fu Xiaoyao knew he still cared. Her heart ached slightly.

"Hánchuān, you should still go and take a look. If she's really kneeling, just let her up," Fù Xiǎoyáo advised him.

Of course, she wasn't concerned about how Qi Ya was doing.

She was worried that if Qi Ya really knelt down and made a scene, the people in this villa district would laugh at her.

"No." Lu Hanchuan once again rejected Fu Xiaoyao's advice.

Fu Xiaoyao saw his persistence, shrugged her shoulders, and stopped talking.

No need, no need.

Anyway, if the sky were to fall, he'd be there to catch it. What's the point of her worrying so much

Thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao withdrew her hand from Lu Hanchuan's grasp and changed the subject: "Hanchuan, have you eaten"

"I ate," Lu Hanchuan nodded, then a pair of deep eyes looked at her with a hint of heat, "You..."

"Huh" Fu Xiaoyao blinked her eyes in confusion. "What's wrong"

"What did you just call me" Lu Hanchuan asked her.

Fu Xiaoyao answered without thinking, "Hanchuan."

"No, it's the name you just called me in front of Qi Ya." Lu Hanchuan corrected.

"Who was that you called, Qi Ya" Fu Xiaoyao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then remembered something, her face turning slightly red. "I... I forgot!"

"Are you truly forgetting, or are you deliberately avoiding my question" Lu Hanchuan lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.

Fu Xiaoyao wanted to avoid it, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply, "I... I really forgot."

"Really" Lu Hanchuan leaned in slightly, bringing his face close to hers. He was so close that she could feel his hot breath.

"Need me to remind you You just called me husband." Lu Hanchuan said.

And when he said "husband," he deliberately stretched the two words, making it sound so sweet that my bones felt like they were melting.

Fu Xiaoyao's face reddened even more, "I... I was just trying to anger Qi Ya that's why I shouted like that."

"But I think this name is quite good," Lu Hanchuan looked at her, "Call it again."

"Huh" Fu Xiaoyao raised her head in surprise, as if she had misheard.

Lu Hanchuan said again, "Call me husband again."

"Don't, please." Fu Xiaoyao felt a little embarrassed.

She called him her husband, always only in her heart, or when he wasn't around.

But she had never called him to his face, which made it really hard for her to say.

"Why not, I let you call, you have to call, or else I'll kiss you." Lu Hanchuan threatened with narrowed eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao's body stiffened, and she stared at him in disbelief.

He actually played dumb!

"Hurry up!" Lu Hanchuan urged.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, her small hand clenched tightly, and with difficulty uttered two words, "Old... Husband."

Although her voice was soft, it was loud enough to be heard.

Lu Hanchuan also knew that this was her first time calling him like this in front of him, and she must have been very uncomfortable. So he didn't force her, satisfied with placing his hand on top of her head and rubbing it gently, "Not bad, just call me that from now on. Alright, you rest yourself, I'm going upstairs to take care of some things."

After he finished speaking, he withdrew his hand and went upstairs.

After he left, Fu Xiaoyao let out a long sigh, and the feeling of shyness and embarrassment in her heart gradually began to fade.

But he just said to call him husband from now on.

Does he like that nickname results will be out soon.""Is that so." Shao Siniu nodded and said nothing.After about ten minutes, the forensic doctor in a white coat came out of the office.Lü Hánchuan greeted them with several pe...
