in response and strode out of the meeting room.In the car, he took out his cell phone to call Fu Xiaoyao.Fu Xiaoyao was also in a taxi at this moment. Hearing the phone ring, she thought it was Fu Zix..."Lu Group website... ah, found it." Fu Xiaoyao saw the webpage pop up, then found Lu Hchuan Group's official website and clicked on it. The moment she clicked in, an official announcement popped up.

At a glance, Fu Xiaoyao was deeply drawn to the topic of this article.

Because the title of this article is: Shocking! The CEO of Land Group Is Already Married.

"This is the surprise he gave me" Fu Xiaoyao looked at Aunt Song blankly, her heart was very restless.

If this is what Lu Hanchuan meant by a surprise, then she was sorry, she wasn't surprised, she only felt shocked.

Because she was doing well, the news of her getting married to him was unexpectedly exposed.

"Madam, why don't you take a look" Auntie Song suggested.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip and obediently replied, "Okay."

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down first, then extended her finger to point at the question and began reading the article.

The article wasn't long, only a few hundred words, and Fu Xiaoyao finished reading it quickly.

After watching, her expression had a hint of complexity. “What does he want to do”

He suddenly came out, giving her no time to prepare.

Aunt Song smiled, "If you want to know what Mr. is going to do, just give him a call."

"Call and ask"

"That's right, how would you know" Aunty Song encouraged her.

After a moment of hesitation, Fu Xiaoyao nodded and dialed Lu Hannan's number.

The phone was quickly answered, and Lu Hanchuan's low voice came into her ear, "Awake"

"Hmm." Fu Xiaoyao responded.

"Did Song Auntie bring the message I told her to give you" Lu Hanchuan asked.

Fu Xiaoyao gripped her phone, "He's here. I called you because I want to know what's going on. How did you suddenly expose your marriage"

"There were reporters at yesterday's business alliance meeting who took our pictures. This morning, that media outlet called the company and asked if I would allow them to publish news about my marriage."

"So you really agreed" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback.

"That's right," Lu Hanzhan nodded slightly, "but I asked them not to release photos and not to disclose too much about you."

"Why is that" Fu Xiaoyao was very puzzled.

Lu Hanchuan pinched the bridge of his nose, "To protect you, now that you know the situation with the Lu family, exposing less information about you is one more layer of protection for you."

"So that's how it is." Fu Xiaoyao nodded with a relieved smile, her heart feeling a little sweet.

No wonder the article only mentioned her name, that's why.

"When everything is settled, I'll call a meeting to formally introduce you." Lu Hanchuan added, trying to prevent Fu Xiaoyao from overthinking.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled. "It's okay, actually this is already very good. I just don't understand how you suddenly agreed to be exposed"

He had never been willing to talk about his marriage publicly before, and only at the last charity gala did he formally introduce her to his circle.

But only those within the circle knew about it, but this time is different, this time it's completely public.

This could even potentially influence the group's stock market.

"It wasn't sudden," Lu Hanchuan pondered for a few seconds before replying, "I've had this idea for a long time, but I haven't found the right time. This time it was just that media outlet happened to run into it, so I went with the flow. Besides, I should have gone public three years ago, so I'm really sorry about that. I owe you an apology for these past three years."

A pang of sympathy shot through her, making Fu Xiaoyao's nose tingle with unshed tears. Her eyes welled up, a mixture of surprise and delight swirling within her.

He finally knew the difficulties she had faced for the past three years, and even apologized to her. She was truly happy, and even felt that his indifference and neglect towards her over the past three years didn't seem to matter at all in this moment.

Thinking about this, Fu Xiaoyao choked back a sob and spoke in a trembling voice, "There's no grievance..."

Lu Hanchuan couldn't possibly not hear that she was talking sarcastically. He chuckled lightly.

Fu Xiaoyao pouted, "What are you laughing at"

"It's nothing, do you like this surprise" he asked.

Fu Xiaoyao blushed and nodded her head, "Um, like."

"That's great, I have a contract to discuss with Shijia next, I'll hang up now."

"Mmm." Fu Xiaoyao replied.

After the call ended, she slowly and languidly took her phone away from her ear, with a hint of reluctance in her movements.

Aunt Song chuckled, "Madam, what did your husband say to you that made you blush like this"

"A secret." Fu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue at her and got out of bed, heading for the bathroom.

Aunt Song looked at Fu Xiaoyao's back, her old face was a little dazed.

But she quickly came to her senses, shaking her head with a wry smile.

"Let's just keep it a secret, but looking at Madam like that, this surprise from Mr. really hit the spot." Song Yi mumbled as she left the room.

This evening, Lu Hanchuan made a phone call saying he was going to the old house tonight and wouldn't be returning to the villa.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't know why he went to the old house, and she didn't ask. But for some reason, her heart was filled with apprehension, so much so that when she ate, she was absent-minded.

And this unease persisted until the middle of the night, instead of subsiding, it grew even more intense, tormenting her to the point where she couldn't sleep.

Then Fu Xiaoyao decisively kicked off the quilt and sat up from the bed. After calming down her inner emotions, she leaned over to turn on the light.

A brilliant light suddenly illuminated the entire room. She let out a slight breath and reached out to grab her phone from beside her bed.

"It's only two o'clock" Fu Xiaoyao looked at the time on her phone, a hint of surprise in her voice.

She tossed and turned in bed for a long time, unable to sleep. She felt like hours had passed, but it turned out to be only 2 am.

Indeed, the heavier the heart, the slower time passes

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but fidget with her short hair, ruffling it until it was a mess before finally putting her hands down.

Subsequently, she operated the phone with both hands, flipping out Lu Hanchuan's number. She wanted to call him and ask if something had happened to his old house.

But when she was truly ready to dial the number, her fingers hovered over the keypad, unable to press down.

After all, it's so late. What if the old house is fine and he falls asleep again Wouldn't she just wake him up

And she certainly hadn't forgotten that he had a temper when he woke up.

So now, whether or not to call became Fu Xiaoyao's most agonizing dilemma. The struggle went on for half an hour, her phone call still unmade. Finally, she simply put the phone aside and decided against calling, postponing it until tomorrow morning.

Then she wouldn't have to worry about waking him up or making him angry.

With that in mind, Fu Xiaoyao turned off the light and lay back down.

The next day, she got up early. After washing and dressing, as she went downstairs, she saw Aunt Song rushing out of the kitchen in a hurry, "Madam, something's wrong!"

"What's wrong" Fu Xiaoyao stood on the stairs, her hand resting on the railing, looking at her with confusion.

"It's the master..."

"Grandpa"

Aunt Song nodded heavily, "Master fainted last night."

"What" Fu Xiaoyao's face changed drastically, her voice became sharp.

She took a few steps down the stairs and stopped in front of Aunt Song. She grabbed Aunt Song's shoulders tightly and asked urgently, "Aunt Song, is this true How did you know"

"It was just Mr. Gao who called a moment ago, asking me to tell you when you woke up." Aunt Song replied.

Fu Xiaoyao swayed, "How could this be What about grandpa now"'t you"Song Yi's heart skipped a beat, but she put on a calm facade. "Sir," she said, "what are you talking about"To suddenly bring up her time living in the Lu family... could it be that she's going...
