Chapter 28: Shao Sini's Plan

n over Fu Xiaoyao, and because of her sleeping position, her clothes were also wrinkled.Before, I had Auntie Song prepare some clothes, but she seems to have never worn them.But Fu Xiaoyao's temperame...Fu Xiaoyao turned her head to look at the man downstairs, her heart beating so fast she could barely contain it. She was both nervous and apprehensive.

Lu Hanzhan gave her a faint glance and then turned his gaze to Qiao's assistant.

Joe's assistant felt a chill down his spine under Lu's unreadable gaze, but he still mustered the courage to ask, "Mr. Lu, Secretary Fu drew your name. You see..."

"What did Shao Si Nian tell you to do this for" Lu Han Chuan narrowed his eyes, his voice cold as ice.

He once said not to include his name.

But his name still appeared, obviously someone did it on purpose.

At the entire welcome event, besides him, only Shao Si Nian was able to command Qiao Mu.

Seeing that Lu Hanchuan had already guessed the truth, Qiao's assistant hung his head and could only admit, "It was indeed Dr. Shao who asked me to do it."

"Humph, he's really got nothing better to do!" Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips.

Joe's assistant touched his nose and secretly glanced at Fu Xiaoyao. "Then Mr. Lu, what should we do now Miss Fu is still waiting. If you don't dance with her, she'll be embarrassed."

"Since you knew, why didn't you think about the consequences back then" Lu Hanchuan's face was a little grim.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. I know I was wrong." Qiao's assistant lowered her head even further.

"You're docked one month's bonus. If you make a similar mistake again, get out of my sight!"

"Yes..." Qiao's assistant accepted the punishment with a serious expression, but inwardly she cursed Shao Sian to death.

"Alright, you continue hosting." Lu Hanchuan said coldly, tossing out the sentence as he stepped onto the stage.

Fu Xiaoyao watched him take step by step toward her, the crisp sound of his footsteps like they were stepping on her heart.

She held her breath and called out to him, "Mr. Lu..."

Lu Hanchuan extended his hand toward her, "Let's go."

"Go...where to" Fu Xiaoyao looked at his hand, somewhat hesitant to reach out.

"Are you not dancing, or are you unwilling to" Lu Hanchuan's eyes were coldly fixed on her.

"I'm willing." Fu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and she quickly placed her hand on top.

Her hand was icy cold and slightly damp.

"Are you sweating" Lu Hanchuan frowned.

Hearing the disdain in his tone, Fu Xiaoyao awkwardly nodded. "Perhaps I should wash my hands."

She was nervous because she wasn't sure if he would dance with her.

And every time she got nervous, her palms would sweat.

"No need, wash after I finish dancing!" Lu Hanchuan held her hand and walked off the stage towards the center of the venue with a stoic expression. Wherever he went, the crowd automatically parted to make way for them, creating a wider path.

As the music began, Lu Hanchuan moved with Fu Xiaoyao.

The crowd around them had at some point again formed a circle, encircling them and watching them dance.

In such an environment, Fu Xiaoyao's whole body was tense, unable to relax at all. The dance she performed was very stiff, not only lacking grace but also stepping on Lu Hanchuan several times.

Lu Hanchuan's temples throbbed, his face as dark as ink. He lowered his voice and asked, "Fu Xiaoyao, what's wrong with you Didn't your etiquette teacher teach you how to dance"

"Taught…", Fu Xiaoyao blushed furiously, not daring to look at him.

She knew how embarrassed she was right now, and the crowd watching probably thought she was a joke.

"After I taught you, you still turned out like this" Lu Hanchuan's handsome face darkened.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head, her voice so small it was almost inaudible, "Teacher didn't teach for very long."

"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 left. Luckily, the outside world doesn't know you are the young mistress of the Lu family, otherwise, it would truly lower the status of the Lu family."

Fu Xiaoyao's body swayed slightly, her bright eyes dimmed instantly, her heart filled with both grievance and sadness.

Originally, he looked at her like this, thinking that she, his wife, was someone who couldn't make it onto the stage.

Perhaps Yu Lin was right, his wife should be a woman as perfect as he was.

She's just going to hold him back.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, her nose slightly sour. The rhythm of the dance slowed down, and the subsequent movements were riddled with errors, making a complete mess of it.

When Lu Hanchuan realized she was out of sync, he tried to bring her back on beat, but she just wouldn't catch on. He led her a few times, but she still couldn't get it right, so gradually he gave up and gritted his teeth, finishing the rest of the dance.

As the dance ended, he immediately let go of her and took a handkerchief from his breast pocket to wipe the sweat she had left on his hand. "Alright, it's getting late. I'll have someone send you back."

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao pulled at the corners of her mouth.

Lu Hanchuan put away his handkerchief and stopped looking at her. He turned around and left the venue, going to the rest room.

Shao Sian, who was playing games, saw him return and gave him a knowing look. "You finished that so quickly"

Lu Hanchuan ignored him and went into the bathroom with a calm face.

Shao Siniang shrugged and didn't care, turning her attention back to her phone. "Hurry up, hurry up, find cover, there are snipers on the opposite side..."

Just as he was getting into the heat of things, Lu Hanchuan walked out after washing his hands and snatched his phone right away, throwing it onto the tea table. "Come on, why did you order Qiao Mu to arrange this plan"

"You know everything" Shao Sini raised an eyebrow.

Lu Hanchuan sat down opposite him, his eyes as sharp and cold as a knife.

"Alright, I'll say it. There's no other reason, I'm doing this all for you." Shao Sian casually raised his leg in a nonchalant manner.

Lu Hanchuan let out a cold snort, "For me"

"Yeah, think about it. If Fu Xiaoyao was your wife, would you accept it if she danced with another man"

Lu Hanchuan was slightly stunned, furrowed his brows and carefully considered the scene depicted.

Later on, I realized that I couldn't accept it after all.

"Judging by your expression, I was right, wasn't I" Shao Si Nian took back his phone and put it in his pocket. "So you should thank me."

Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips, "Alright, why haven't you gone back to the hospital yet"

"I've been waiting for you," Shao Sini pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his expression turning serious. "Seriously, did you tell Fu Xiaoyao about the bone marrow transplant"

"That's that."

"What did she mean then Did she agree"

Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples, "No, she said she'd think about it."

"Considering..." Shao Sinians stroked his chin, "How long does it take to consider Qi Ya over there is truly impatient. The Qi family was still asking me this afternoon how the surgery hadn't started yet."

"When is the best time for the first surgery" Lu Hanchuan asked with narrowed eyes.

Shao Sinians held out a hand, "It's best not to exceed five days. The earlier the first surgery is performed, the better her white blood cell count can be controlled, and the success rate of the second surgery will also be higher."

"Alright, you should head back to the hospital first. After the welcome ceremony, I'll talk to Fu Xiaoyao."

Since he said so, Shao Sian naturally had no objections. He straightened his clothes and stood up, “Alright, then I’ll leave first.”

"Hmm."

……

After the welcome reception ended, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

Lu Hanchuan returned to the villa and found that the lights were still on, and there was a faint sound of television coming from the living room.

It's so late, she hasn't slept yet

Lu Hanchuan changed his shoes and walked into the living room. He thought it was Fu Xiaoyao watching TV in the living room, but unexpectedly it was Aunt Song.

"Sir, you're back" Aunt Song looked at him, seemingly surprised.

Lu Hanchuan put down his briefcase, "Auntie Song, why haven't you rested yet"

"Getting old, I can't sleep so I just get up and watch TV." Aunt Song replied with a chuckle.

Lu Hanchuan's gaze swept around the living room, "Where is Fu Xiaoyao"ver there and notified their parents. Now all the parents should be at the school. Ms. Shi, will you go over there" The assistant inquired.Fu Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes, "The past is the past, I don't...
