Chapter 723: Lin Mu Xi Causes Trouble

to look at the air conditioner in the corner, seeing that the temperature display showed only sixteen degrees. A nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart.This woman, isn't she going to freeze to deat..."He's not coming back, he has a dinner engagement tonight. Tang Yi should be too." Fu Xiaoyao shook her head in reply.

Aunt Song nodded slightly, as if she understood, then didn't ask any further questions.

Xiao Bao didn't ask any further, and began to eat his meal obediently.

Aunt Song stood aside watching the mother and son, suddenly thought of something, patted her forehead, "That's right, Madam, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter" Fu Xiaoyao looked up at her.

Aunt Song's face darkened as she said, "It's that Lin Mu Xi."

"Her" Fu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow. "She probably came again this afternoon, right"

"Oh no, he's really thick-skinned," Auntie Song said with a sneer.

Fu Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes, a trace of disgust flashing in them.

"When I left this morning, that was the only time I saw her. What's she doing here again"

"I don't know about that. According to the security guard, she walked around our old house for a while. I have no idea what she was doing. After a while, she just left." Auntie Song shrugged and replied.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, "I circled the old house once, they must be up to something. Aunt Song, you have someone keep an eye on them."

“I know, I’ve already given the order,” Aunt Song replied.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response and said nothing more.

After dinner, she took Xiaobao back to the room and played with him for a while. After putting Xiaobao to sleep, she returned to her and Lu Hánchuan's room.

It was already 10 pm, but Lu Hanchuan hadn't come back yet.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't know how long she would have to wait, and it wasn't good to call and ask, so she could only read while waiting.

If she waited until the very end and couldn't take it anymore, she would just fall asleep.

However, before long, Fu Xiaoyao's phone suddenly rang.

Fu Xiaoyao put down the book in her hand, picked up her phone and glanced at it. Seeing the caller ID, she hurriedly answered, "Hello, honey."

Lu Hanchuan's low and hoarse voice came, "Haven't you slept yet"

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, "No, are you coming back"

"No, it's still early. I and Han Ling will have a meeting with the client later. We probably won't be back until the early morning hours. So I called to let you know not to wait up for me. Go to sleep early yourself." Lu Hánchuan said with a hint of apology in his voice.

Although Fu Xiaoyao felt a bit disappointed, she mostly understood.

After all, as the chairman of such a large group, it's normal for him to be in this situation.

"Okay, I understand. Then I won't wait for you." Fu Xiaoyao smiled.

Luhánchuan tiredly pinched the bridge of his nose, “Well, I’m sleepy. Good night.”

"Good night." Fu Xiaoyao pulled at the corner of her mouth.

After ending the call, she put her phone on the bedside table, kneaded her shoulders, and left a dim light on so Lu Hanchuan could see it when he came back. Then, she lay down to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the door opened and Lu Hanchuan came back, looking extremely tired.

He knew Fu Xiaoyao was asleep, so he moved very quietly. He closed the door and walked softly, trying not to make any noise that might wake her.

He had drunk a lot, his handsome face flushed, his eyes a little hazy, and his breathing somewhat heavy.

When he got to the bedside, he lowered his head to look at the sleeping woman on the bed, then leaned down and lay down beside her, without taking off his clothes. He held her close and closed his eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao smelled alcohol in her dream and woke up. She thought it was a dream, strangely vivid for one.

As she opened her eyes, she saw the man beside her and realized that she wasn't dreaming. The smell she had detected was real alcohol.

Fu Xiaoyao sighed helplessly, looking at the man's sleeping face with a hint of resentment.

Everyone said to let him drink less, but he still drank so much. When he got back, he passed out as soon as he got home, without even taking his clothes off.

"I'm defeated by you." Unable to help it, Fu Xiaoyao muttered under her breath before getting up. She removed the coat, tie, and shirt from Lu Hanchuan's body so he could sleep more comfortably.

But that wasn't enough. Afterward, she went to the bathroom and fetched a basin of water, using a towel to wipe his face and body.

This way, he felt refreshed and slept well. She wouldn't find his alcohol smell bothering either.

After doing all that, Fu Xiaoyao looked at the time. It was only 3 am, still early.

Then she climbed back onto the bed and snuggled into Lu Hanchuan's embrace, falling asleep.

When Lu Hanchuan woke up, it was already noon the next day.

He sat up, and found that his upper body was bare. His pupils contracted suddenly.

But the next second, after seeing his surroundings clearly, the tension in his expression instantly eased.

It's good he's at home.

He still thought last night...

Without thinking further, Lu Hanchuan rubbed his swollen temples. He had had a bit too much to drink last night, and now his head was pounding and aching, making him very uncomfortable.

Just as Lu Hanchuan was rubbing his head, Fu Xiaoyao came in from outside. Seeing him wake up, her eyes lit up, "You're awake."

Lu Hanchuan heard her voice and put his hand down, "You're awake. What time is it"

Fu Xiaoyao looked at her phone, "It's eleven o'clock."

Lu Hanchuan frowned.

I didn't expect myself to sleep until this late.

Fu Xiaoyao walked over and stopped in front of him, looking down at him, "Are you feeling unwell"

Lu Hanchuan's thin lips parted slightly, "My head feels a bit dizzy."

"Serves you right!" Fu Xiaoyao snorted coldly, without a shred of mercy.

Lu Hanchuan was stunned.

What did she say Serves her right

She didn't feel sorry for him, she didn't comfort him, she didn't even give him a massage, and she actually said he deserved it!

Fu Xiaoyao raised her arm and said, "When I left yesterday, I reminded you countless times to drink less. What did you do Did you listen to me"

Lu Hanchuan twitched the corner of his mouth, "I heard."

"Are you still drunk after hearing that" Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened.

Lu Hanzhan smiled softly, "It's Louis XIII."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao was stunned.

Louis XIII, she knew, was the strongest, with the longest finish, among all fine wines.

If that's the case, maybe he didn't drink much at all.

However, she couldn't let him go.

"Even if you didn't drink much, you're still drunk. You're drunk, which is the same as drinking a lot. So tell me, what are you going to do" Fu Xiaoyao sneered.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flashed slightly, he grabbed her wrist, and in her astonishment, pulled her into his arms.

"Am I making amends with kisses like this" Lu Hanchuan looked down at the woman in his arms.

Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes. "Who wants you to use a kiss..."

She had not finished speaking when the door was suddenly knocked. “Sir, madam, are you there”

It's Auntie Song.

Lu Hanchuan frowned displeasure, obviously unhappy that Song Auntie had suddenly interrupted them.

Fu Xiaoyao ignored Lu Hchuan's happiness or unhappiness. She came out of his arms and called to the door: "Come in."

When Aunt Song heard her voice, she pushed the door open and saw the two of them sitting by the bed. She called out first, "Mr., Mrs."

"Aunt Song, is something the matter" Fu Xiaoyao saw that Aunt Song's face was not quite right, and asked in a serious voice.

Lu Hanchuan remained silent, merely putting on his clothes.

It's not like I can just go around shirtless all the time.

"It's still that Lin Mu Xi," Song Yi said, her face full of anger as she held up her hand.

"What's wrong with her" Fu Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes instantly.

Lu Hanchuan's tapping stopped, and he looked at Aunt Song.

Aunty Song angrily said: “She’s stirring up trouble, spreading rumors about you online that are bad for your reputation.”

"What Rumors" Fu Xiaoyao's face was full of surprise.

"That's right!" Aunt Song nodded emphatically.

Lu Hanchuan's face was cold, his voice also sinking. "What rumors did she spread"

"It's all about how the wife is mistreating her, oh, I can't explain it clearly. Madam, Sir, you should check it online, it's causing quite a stir." Auntie Song pointed at her phone.rateful, so Han Chuan just now was warning me, telling me not to bully her." Fu Xiaoyao threw down her phone, feeling very unhappy inside.Aunt Song was stunned for a moment, then angrily slammed her h...
