Chapter 69: Feeling Sick on the Plane
Was it Old Lu who hit you How did he hit you again Was it with a riding whip"Lu Hanchuan nodded.Shao Siniar clicked his tongue, "tsk tsk tsk, Lord Lu this time really went all out, he didn't hit this...Others also pricked up their ears, waiting for the answer.
Especially Yu Lin, her eyes widened, her pupils constantly scanning between Lu Hanchuan and Fu Xiaoyao, brimming with curiosity.
The only one present who wasn't a surprise was probably just Qiao Mu.
Facing the inquiries from the higher-ups and the strange looks from everyone, Fu Xiaoyao felt her whole body tense up, and her palms started to sweat.
"I... me and Mr. Lu..." She bit her lip, stammering, unable to find the words. Her mind was a blank.
"We came together." Lü Hánchuan picked up where she left off.
Fu Xiaoyao looked at him in surprise, "President Lu..."
What does this mean
Could they be about to reveal their relationship
Lu Hanchuan didn't look at Fu Xiaoyao, tossing his car keys to the driver arranged by Qiao Mu and explaining indifferently, "Secretary Fu came to my house to help me pack my things, so she came over together."
This reason is reasonable and doesn't seem unreasonable.
Everyone nodded in understanding, their curiosity quelled. They lined up and proceeded to the airport to collect their boarding passes.
Fu Xiaoyao and three other secretaries followed behind Lu Hanchuan, their eyes complex as they gazed at his tall and straight back.
She really overthought things.
How could he possibly expose their relationship
If he really wanted to expose her, he wouldn't have warned her like that three years ago!
Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head and let out a wry smile, moving her suitcase to the security scanner.
After a thorough check, Fu Xiaoyao successfully boarded the plane.
There's still a while before the plane takes off, Yu Lin quietly snuck over, “Xia Yao, tell me honestly, what's going on between you and President Lu”
"Didn't we just make that clear" Fu Xiaoyao replied, her eyes flickering.
Yu Lin wasn't buying it. She rolled her eyes and said, "Don't try that with me. I know you too well. You were so nervous just now, it was obvious you were lying and didn't know how to cover it up. Even though Mr. Lu gave an explanation later, your initial surprise showed that he was also lying."
"Why don't you become a detective" Fu Xiaoyao looked at her in surprise.
All of this analysis is right, she didn't even know her friend had this level of observation!
Yu Lin giggled, "I'm just a gossip queen at best, I can't even compare to being a real detective. Now you have to tell me, what's your deal with President Lu"
"Actually, I don't have much to do with him... We knew each other before, he was a friend of my husband's."
As she spoke, Fu Xiaoyao could almost feel her heart breaking. To avoid appearing flustered in front of Yu Lin again, she secretly squeezed her thigh.
Using this self-harming way to remind oneself not to expose their true nature.
Yu Lin really didn't see anything amiss with her. She rubbed her chin and said, "Your husband's friend"
"Well, because I don't want people to think I got promoted by Mr. Lu just because of this connection, I had to keep it a secret. Linyin, please don't tell anyone." Fu Xiaoyao looked around and lowered her voice.
Yu Lin patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. But why didn't you tell me at first"
"I don't think it's necessary."
"Oh, come on, you're just not willing to say it." Yu Lin rolled her eyes.
Fu Xiaoyao gave a sheepish smile. "Alright, Linlin, the plane is about to take off, you should go back to your seat."
"Okay, I'm going back now. Let's continue chatting when I get off the plane. I'm really curious about your husband's identity. You said before that your husband is just an ordinary person, but now you're saying he's friends with Mr. Lu..."
Fu Xiaoyao's expression stiffened slightly, her heartstrings tightening.
Yu Lin stared at her, "Someone who can be friends with President Lu, how could they be an ordinary person, Xiaoyao, you'd better not lie to me later."
She blinked and walked away.
Fu Xiaoyao felt helpless, and a feeling of kicking oneself in the shins welled up inside her.
She never imagined that Yulin would remember what she said at the welcome party last time so clearly, and then, based on her just-said words, she found the inconsistencies.
But she wasn't wrong either. Lu Hanchuan was indeed an ordinary man, the only thing unusual about him was his identity as the president of Lu Group.
As for her friend's explanation, she couldn't explicitly state her relationship with Lu Hanchuan, and she couldn't just make one up, could she
With that thought, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes twinkled and she secretly smiled.
She seemed to have already thought of an excuse, one she could use to fool Yu Lin after getting off the plane.
"Fu Secretary!"
"Here!" Fu Xiaoyao heard someone calling her name, hurriedly putting away her thoughts and looking up to see who was calling.
There she saw Qiao Mu standing at the entrance connecting business class and economy class, smiling warmly at her.
Fu Xiaoyao unbuckled the safety belt at her waist and walked over amid curious glances from her colleagues. "Assistant Qiao, do you have something for me"
"It's Lu Zong who found you." Qiao Mu replied in a low voice.
"Mr. Lu"
"That's right, come with me." Qiao Mu turned and entered the business class.
Fu Xiaoyao had no choice but to lift the curtain and follow him.
Qiao Mu led her all the way through business class to first class.
"Lu Zong is right in there, Secretary Fu, you go in." Qiao Mu helped her open the curtain.
Fu Xiaoyao said thank you and went in.
The first-class cabin was booked by Lu Hanchuan, with only him inside.
He was sitting in the front row, and Fu Xiaoyao saw him at once.
"Lu Zong, do you have something for me" Fu Xiaoyao walked over and asked softly.
Lu Hánchuan took the economic magazine in his hand, "It's nothing, I just wanted you to come sit here."
"Let me sit here" Fu Xiaoyao pointed at herself in surprise.
Lu Hanchuan glanced at her, "Hmm."
But why
"It's nothing, just sit down." Lu Hanchuan frowned.
Actually, there's a reason for that.
She donated bone marrow, and her health hasn't been as good as it used to be.
He had asked Shao Siannian if she felt comfortable sitting here, explaining that taking a plane sometimes caused discomfort and he wanted to be aware of her situation at all times.
"I see," Fu Xiaoyao realized the man was getting impatient, so she didn't dare to say anything more. She obediently sat down beside him.
Shortly after we sat down, a flight attendant announced that the plane was about to take off.
Fu Xiaoyao tightened the safety belt around her waist, feeling a strange tension building up inside her.
As time ticked by, the plane finally took off.
Fu Xiaoyao held her breath and leaned back.
She knew that some people would experience mild discomfort when the plane took off, and she had this too, so every time she flew, she would hold her breath.
I thought this time the discomfort was similar to before, but I was wrong. She was completely off base.
The moment the plane took off, Fu Xiaoyao only felt a wave of intense nausea wash over her. Her ears were buzzing, her head was spinning, and even her chest felt like it had a stone lodged in it, making it hard to breathe.
She couldn't help but moan in pain.
Lu Hánchuan heard this, his expression tightened, and he quickly put down the magazine in his hand.
"What's wrong" he asked her.
Fu Xiaoyao leaned against the seat, her face as white as a sheet, with beads of cold sweat trickling down her forehead. "I feel so awful..."
"Where does it hurt" Lu Hanchuan leaned over and touched her forehead.
It wasn't hot, it was even cold to the touch.
"My whole body hurts so much..." Fu Xiaoyao struggled to open one eyelid and said weakly.
She just felt like she was going to vomit.
"I'll go ask if there's a doctor." Lu Hanchuan said, reaching to unbuckle his waist safety belt.
In her situation, it seems just as Shao Si Nian said.
"Wait a minute..." Fu Xiaoyao reached out and stopped Lu Hanchuan.Ya exclaimed, her excitement subsiding.Fu Xiaoyao tapped on the table, "It's nothing, just that Mrs. Lu seems to be thinking about something terrible, so I specially woke you up."Qi Ya's face darkened...
