Chapter 217 Moving Out

"This isn't an excuse." Lu Hanchuan spun her around, his expression growing colder. "I ask you, have you practiced yourself""I..." Fu Xiaoyao was speechless.Lu Hánchuan sneered, "It seems there's none...“Of course, I’m surprised by General Lu’s feelings for his wife. A month ago, General Lu was still indifferent to her, but now he...” Qiao Mu frowned, suddenly unable to find the right words to describe Lu Hanchuan's current appearance.

Lu Hanchuan propped his head up, his eyes flickering. "Before, I didn't realize my feelings for her. Now that I have, of course, I won't treat her the same way I did."

"So, Mr. Lu, are you and your wife going to be a real couple now"

"Hmm."

Qiao Mu reached out a hand to touch his nose, "But Lu Zong, it seems the Madam doesn't intend to forgive you. Your wish is afraid of falling through."

"It's alright." Lu Hanchuan lowered his head, looking gently at the woman who was sleeping soundly on his lap. "I will earn her forgiveness with my actions."

"Well then, I wish you all the best, General Lu," Qiao Mu said.

He was still seeing Mr. Lu being so gentle to a woman for the first time.

It seems that Land this time is really serious.

"Thank you," Lu Hanchuan hooked the corner of his mouth with a slightly better mood, and rarely said thank you.

After that, the car fell silent. The only sounds were the faint breaths of those inside.

Three hours later, Fu Xiaoyao stood before the villa, her gaze complex as she looked at it, unable to bring herself to step inside.

Lu Hanchuan turned his head and glanced at her, "What's wrong"

Fu Xiaoyao clenched her hand tightly, "I don't want to go in."

"Why" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, "I promised to come back with you and agreed to temporarily not get a divorce, but I never promised to continue living here."

Lu Hannan's cheeks puffed out, "If you don't want to stay inside, where do you plan on staying"

"I can live anywhere, I just don't want to live here," Fu Xiaoyao mumbled.

Song Auntie opened her mouth and said, "Madam, do you want to move out"

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response.

Lu Hanchuan's handsome face was a little dark, "Fu Xiaoyao, are you really planning to move out and live alone, or is it because you don't want to live with me"

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flickered. "I... I want to live alone."

"Are you really only wanting to live alone" Lu Hanchuan was still doubtful.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lower lip, "Yes."

"Then tell me, why do you live alone" Lu Hanchuan asked her again.

Fu Xiaoyao made no attempt to hide her true feelings, and blurted out, "Because I'm not ready to face you yet, and even less so to live under the same roof as you without any hesitation. Especially this villa, it brings me much more pain than joy, so for me, it is a place of suffering!"

"So that's how it is." Auntie Song nodded in understanding.

Fu Xiaoyao's joys, sorrows, and anger over the past three years here, he has seen it all.

It is indeed more pain than joy.

"Sir, why don't you let your wife stay outside for now" Aunt Song also started helping Fu Xiaoyao persuade Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan's eyebrows were furrowed into a Sichuan character, clearly unwilling.

Where is there a couple living separately

"No." He refused outright.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Song sighed and persuaded again, "Mr., just agree. What your wife said just now is right. The experience in this villa has indeed made her unhappy."

"Speaking of which, Aunt Song pulled Lu Hanchuan aside and whispered a warning, "Sir, your wife is very resentful towards you right now. You'd better go along with her in everything. Since she doesn't want to live here and wants to live outside, just let her. It's not like you can't just visit her frequently, right"

After hearing this, Lu Hanchuan actually felt it made sense.

But to let Fu Xiaoyao live alone outside, he couldn't bear it.

This woman is usually careless, will she be able to protect herself

"Mr. Lu, did you even hear a word I just said" Aunt Song pushed Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hchuan glanced at his slightly wrinkled sleeves with disdain, "You know why she chose to live alone outside It's not just because she finds this place oppressive. The main reason is that she wants to live separately from me."

"Of course I know that, but as I said, sir, you can always go to your wife. First, have a meal there, and then find an excuse to stay overnight, just like in the countryside. You need to be thick-skinned about it. I believe your wife won't be able to force you to leave." Aunt Song gave him advice.

Lu Hanchuan listened, his thin lips pursed slightly. After a while, he wearily closed his eyes, "I understand."

"Sir, did you agree"

"What else can I do if I disagree" Lu Hanchuan pressed his forehead.

As Aunt Song said, if he wants to get forgiveness from Fu Xiaoyao, he has no choice but to go along with her.

"That's right, then go tell your wife." Aunt Song said with a sneer.

Lu Hanchuan glanced at her and walked towards Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him.

He slowly opened his mouth, "You can stay outside, I'll arrange the house."

Fu Xiaoyao was a little surprised that he had actually agreed, but he would handle the arrangements for the house.

Where will he be arranged

Seeing Fu Xiaoyao's silence, Lu Hanchuan thought she was refusing. His face darkened, "What are you thinking"

"It's nothing." Fu Xiaoyao shook her head and asked cautiously, "Where do you want me to stay"

"The apartment in the city center," Lu Hanchuan glanced at his watch and replied.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him in confusion, "Which apartment in the city center"

He owns a lot of properties, he just mentions one casually and she wouldn't know where it is.

Lu Hankan looked at Fu Xiaoyao like an idiot, "Get in the car, I'll take you."

"Oh." Fu Xiaoyao blushed slightly, sticking out her tongue sheepishly before bidding farewell to Auntie Song and getting into the car.

This time, Lu Hanchuan drove himself, Qiao Mu had already returned to the company.

Fu Xiaoyao sat in the passenger seat, hands gripping the safety belt, eyes watching the retreating scenery outside the window blankly.

Lu Hánchuan cast a glance at her, "What are you thinking about"

"I wasn't thinking about anything." Fu Xiaoyao retracted her gaze and replied faintly.

Lu Hanchuan saw that she wasn't speaking, and didn't press her. He turned the steering wheel slightly and asked, "Since you're back, do you still want to go to work at the company"

Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback, then shook her head, "I've already resigned, how can I still go to work."

"If you want to go back to work, I'll have Qiao Mu tell the HR department and withdraw your resignation." Lu Hanchuan said lightly.

Fu Xiaoyao stared in surprise, "I remember on your first day at the company, you issued a rule prohibiting former employees from re-employing. Now you're doing this, aren't you leading by example in breaking the rules"

"You're different." Lu Hanchuan chuckled.

Fu Xiaoyao blinked, "What's different"

"As an employee, you are also my wife. I don't think it's a big deal to show favoritism to my wife occasionally. Besides, the company belongs to me. I can do whatever I want, and who dares to say anything about it"

Fu Xiaoyao's mouth twitched. "Like this, you remind me of those foolish emperors."

"It's an honor to be called that." Lu Hanchuan said lightly.

Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes.

This man's skin has gotten thicker recently.

She compared him to a tyrant, and he actually took it as a compliment.

"Have you thought it over" Lu Hanchuan spoke again. "If you want to go to work, I can have Qiao Mu arrange it for you right now."

"Let me think about it." Fu Xiaoyao didn't answer immediately.

Lu Hanchuan glanced at her, "Suit yourself, let me know when you've thought it over."

"Hmm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

After that, both of them fell silent.

Until the car stopped in the parking lot of an apartment building, this peace was first broken by Lu Hanchuan, "We're here, get off."

Fu Xiaoyao didn't hesitate, opened the car door and got out. She looked around the parking lot.

She knew this apartment building was a famous luxury one, with a price per square meter in the six figures.

I didn't expect Lu Hanchuan to bring her here.

She now somewhat regretted agreeing to let him arrange housing for her.

"Let's go." Lu Hanchuan put away his car keys and walked ahead.

Fu Xiaoyao hurried to catch up.

As she stepped into the elevator, she felt a bit nervous.

Lu Hanchuan looked at her with suspicion, "What are you nervous about"-in" Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips.Qi Ya Yin's sneer was measured, "Indeed, a substitute. So don't think too highly of yourself, you're just...""Enough!" Aunt Song's harsh voice suddenly cut her off.Qi Y...
