had to arrange a room for the old man.After seeing the old man settled to sleep, Lu Hanchuan returned to his master bedroom.Fu Xiaoyao was sitting on the bed watching TV. When she saw him come back,...The emotions he's showing now are the same as last night.

Last night he was like this too, afraid.

Last night she could have believed his fear stemmed from other reasons, impossible that it was because of her. But now, she couldn't deceive herself anymore, he was afraid something would happen to her.

"What's the point" Fu Xiaoyao sighed instead of answering Lu Hanzchuan.

Lu Hanchuan continued to pull her into his embrace, finally speaking, "Since you escaped the fire, why didn't you come back Why didn't you contact me Back then, I hadn't brought Qi Ya back to the villa yet."

"By that time, I had already been washed unconscious by the lake water. How could I have contacted you When I woke up, I learned that you were very close to leaving." Fu Xiaoyao looked across, her face expressionless.

Lu Hanchuan fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Who saved you"

"He's my brother."

“Time ink”

"It's him!" Fu Xiaoyao affirmed.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

No wonder Shi Mo cared so much about her back then, even coming to the Lu family to check on her. He must have been here to gather information about her.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Lu Hanzhan was still very grateful that Shi Mo appeared in the industrial zone at that time and saved Fu Xiaoyao.

"And the second fire" Lu Hanchuan slightly loosened his grip on Fu Xiaoyao, lowering his head to look at her icy face.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes and sneered, "The second fire was the day you brought Qi Ya back to the villa. After I found out, I returned to the villa to find you, but I met Qi Ya instead. Qi Ya knocked me unconscious and took me out, locking me in an abandoned building on the outskirts of town. Then she poured gasoline on me intending to burn me alive. It was only because Shi Mo appeared that I survived."

Hearing this, Lu Hanchuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

It was that day!

"Although I didn't die, the fire also burned my face."

"Speaking of this, Fu Xiaoyao pushed him away, lifting her top in front of him and pointing to the large patch of scars on her abdomen. Her voice was emotionless: "Do you see these scars This is what the fire left behind. If it weren't for Dr. Peter, my face would be just as ugly as these scars now."

Lu Hanchuan's brain buzzed, his eyes fixed on the scar on her waist, his gaze turning bloodshot.

Such a large scar, it's truly shocking to look at. One can only imagine how hot the inferno must have been, and the despair, the pain she must have felt being engulfed by the flames.

While she was engulfed in flames, he wasn't by her side. The most ironic thing is that he personally delivered the arsonist to her doorstep.

If he hadn't taken Qi Ya to the villa that day, she wouldn't have fallen into her hands and been burned by fire again.

It is him, he is also the murderer!

No wonder she hated him, she was right to.

"I'm sorry, I truly don't know these!" Lu Hanchuan clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, showing how intense his inner turmoil was at this moment.

Fu Xiaoyao calmly put down her clothes, “You know now, don’t you That's why I swore that as long as I survived the fire, I would return the pain I endured tenfold, including you, Lu Hanchuan. But then I changed my mind. For the sake of being your child's mother, I won't retaliate against you, but...”

Her eyes narrowed, "But I also want you to lose face and taste the feeling of being abandoned. But judging by last night, I seem to have fallen short. My heart softened in the end. However, I've figured things out. Since you can make Xiao Bao recover, I won't seek revenge on you. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

"You want to draw a line between us" Lu Hanchuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, "No, do you think we can go back to the past now"

"Why not I've always loved you. During my marriage to Qi Ya, I never touched her, I only have you." Lu Hanchuan grasped her shoulders, saying anxiously.

Lu Hanchuan was stunned, looking at the man in front of him with disbelief.

He hasn't even met Qi Ya

For a moment, Fu Xiaoyao felt a surge of joy, but she quickly suppressed it.

"So what Our situation is far from simple. Even if you haven't met Qi Ya, do you really think we can still be together without distractions" Fu Xiaoyao said.

Lu Hanchuan tightened his hands, "Of course I can, because we still have feelings, don't we"

"Love isn't absolute. Even if there was love, our relationship is tainted with too much resentment and history. There are countless examples in this world of couples who loved each other but couldn't stay together." Fu Xiaoyao removed his hand from her shoulder.

Lu Hanchuan gritted his back teeth, "They are them, and we are us. They are different from us."

"There's nothing different." Fu Xiaoyao replied.

Lu Hanchuan spoke in a low voice, "What about Xiao Bao Do you want Xiao Bao to not have a complete family"

"You are Xiao Bao's father, and I am Xiao Bao's mother. Xiao Bao doesn't lack parents, so whether or not he has a complete family isn't important because I won't stop loving him. He is my only child in this lifetime." Fu Xiaoyao replied.

Lu Hanchuan didn't expect her to be so stubborn, his eyes deepened, "So in the end, you still refuse to go back with me"

"I am no longer your wife. The moment you announced my death, the moment you canceled my household registration, our marriage ended. Now, I am only Shi Yao. Do you understand" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him seriously.

Lu Hanchuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only determination in them. “I don’t understand, no matter if you are Shi Yao or Fu Xiaoyao, you are still my wife, Lu Hanchuan's wife, and Xiao Bao's mother. The three of us will always be a family, and can only be a family.”

"Do you want to be strong" Fu Xiaoyao frowned.

Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples, "I'll pursue you again. If you still don't give in, I'll come back and take you by force, Fu Xiaoyao. I told you before, after falling in love with you, you will belong to me for life. I absolutely won't allow you to leave my side."

She has been gone for six years, he won't let her leave for a second six years.

Listening to Lu Hanchuan's domineering vow, Fu Xiaoyao's heart wasn't unmoved, but there was also some resistance. "So in the end, you still want to come by force."

"You don't want me to force you, then just agree to me and go back with me. We can remarry." Lu Hanchuan said, "I've kept my wedding ring, and the scarf you knitted for me, I've kept that too."

Scarf……

A flicker of memory passed through Fu Xiaoyao's eyes.

The scarf he mentioned, was the one she had knitted for him that year, prepared as a birthday gift for him.

She had not sent it out yet, and then she got into an accident.

"What's the point of keeping something like that Don't you remember my mom Why are you still holding onto it" Fu Xiaoyao asked, her tone a mix of sarcasm and inquiry.

"Because I really like it," Lu Hanchuan suddenly smiled.

To tell you the truth, he didn't know why he did that at the time.

Even though he had forgotten her, he still couldn't throw away the things she left behind.

"Well, so what if you like him Likes don't last forever." Fu Xiaoyao's eyes dimmed as she murmured.

Then, she took a breath and pointed to the door, "Mr. Lu, you should leave now."

Lu Hanchuan frowned.

He didn't actually want to leave, but looking at her expression, he knew she needed some space right now.

"Okay, I'll go first, but I still say the same thing, I won't give up on you. Since you've reappeared before me, I will get you back by my side."

After saying that, Lu Hankan walked toward the door. As he reached the doorway, he suddenly stopped, "Although you said you didn't want to know why I brought Qi Ya back to the villa that year, I still have to tell you, it was because I wanted to change your kidney. Qi Ya's kidney matched yours!"

"What" Fu Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat.tand, because I don’t understand either.” Tang Yi sadly lowered his beautiful eyes, “I liked Miss Fu only in that instant, so fast that I didn't even react. When I reacted, I realized it was too late,...
