anity had been scorched by drugs, was now like a beast, understanding only the need to take and nothing of gentleness.He forcefully pried open Fu Xiaoyao's lips and shoved his tongue inside, frantical..."Um..." Fu Xiaoyao's expression stiffened, she hurriedly found an excuse, "I heard it."

"Yeah, your husband is friends with Mr. Lu, so it's normal for you to hear about it." Yu Lin nodded, not doubting anything at all.

Fu Xiaoyao let out a dry laugh, her voice barely a whisper. She said nothing more.

Yu Lin suddenly became excited. “Oh, Xiao Yao, I’ll tell you a secret about Lu Zong. You know Today the whole company was buzzing because Lu Zong actually wore a ring! A ring!”

"What about the ring" Fu Xiaoyao said nonchalantly.

Wearing a ring is so normal.

Yu Lin rolled her eyes. "You still don't get it! I'm saying he has a ring on his left ring finger, a wedding band! What does that mean It means Mr. Lu is actually married!"

Fu Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and she was completely stunned in her tracks.

Lu Hanchuan got married

When did this happen

"Linlin," Fu Xiaoyao clutched her phone tightly, asking urgently, "Are you sure you know that's a wedding ring and not just any other ring"

Yu Lin wasn't pleased. "Xiao Yao, are you doubting my judgement I'm sure that was an engagement ring."

"It's actually true..." Fu Xiaoyao murmured.

After three years of marriage, the wedding ring has only ever been worn by her.

But Lu Hanchuan had never worn it before, and now he was actually wearing it.

Yesterday she didn't see anything on his fingers, so the ring must have been put on this morning. But why would he wear a ring Could it be that he wants to tell everyone he's married

As Fu Xiaoyao's thoughts were in turmoil, constantly guessing the reason why Lu Hanzhen wore a ring, Yu Lin spoke again, "Of course it's true. Could it possibly be fake However, this is really surprising. Mr. Lu is actually married But when did he get married There wasn't any news before."

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head and silently replied in her heart, of course it was three years ago.

"By the way, Xiao Yao, your husband is good friends with Mr. Lu, so he should know. Why don't you ask your husband Ask him if Mr. Lu is really married or just wearing a wedding ring because he has a fiancee" Yu Lin suddenly suggested.

Fu Xiaoyao pulled at the corner of her mouth, "Linlin, let's just drop it. This is someone else's private matter, how could I possibly go and tell my husband Besides, whether President Lu is truly married or faking it, it has nothing to do with us. It's fine to gossip a little, but there's no need to delve deeper."

“You’re right.” Yulin thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, but then she became mysterious again, “Xiaoyao, there’s one more thing. I noticed that Lu Ge’s wedding ring looks familiar, like I’ve seen a matching female ring somewhere.”

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, and her voice stammered, "Eye... eye familiar"

"Well, this morning when Mr. Lu came to the planning department, I was surprised to see he was wearing a ring, so I took a few extra glances. My first feeling was that I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before, but I just couldn't remember where." Yu Lin said, tapping her head.

Fu Xiaoyao hurriedly laughed, "That might be the same style of ring, you may have seen it by chance."

“Impossible!” Yu Lin immediately refuted her, “Someone like President Lu with his status wouldn't buy the same ring as anyone else. They always have designers create custom pieces for them, so the ring on his hand should be one of a kind in the whole world. But this unique ring feels so familiar to me, which is why I suspect...”

"What do you suspect" Fu Xiaoyao's expression tensed.

Yu Lin touched her chin and said with a certain expression, “I suspect I’ve seen Mr. Lu's wife or fiancée before, but where I saw her, I have no idea. It's possible, as you just said, that it was a random encounter.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

Well, I didn't suspect her.

Fu Xiaoyao's expression completely relaxed. She lightly patted her chest, "It's possible, too. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. If Lu always really got married, or had a fiancée, it should be public one day, then you'll know where you saw that ring."

"You're right, I was being stubborn." Yulin smiled.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response, "Right, I have some good news to tell you."

"What good news" Yu Lin became interested.

Fu Xiaoyao's smile deepened. "In the future, we'll have to work together again. In two days, I'll be going to the Lu Group headquarters to start work too."

"Really" Yu Lin exclaimed in surprise.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, “It’s true.”

"Well then... are you still going to be Mr. Lu's secretary" Yu Lin pressed.

Fu Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm not sure, let's talk about it later. But I would rather work in the same department as you than be his secretary."

"It doesn't matter what department we're in, the important thing is that we can see each other every day again." Yulin was already jumping up and down on the phone. "I'm so happy, Xiaoyao, how did you get back"

"You forgot, my husband is friends with Mr. Lu." Fu Xiaoyao lied without batting an eyelid.

Yu Lin patted her forehead. “Oh right, look at my brain.”

"Hmph." Fu Xiaoyao shook her head with a smile and said, "Also, about you being sent to the headquarters for training, I also asked my husband. President Lu isn't secretly in love with you, he thinks you're pretty good at your job, so this is more like a special recruitment."

"I told you so." Yu Lin, upon hearing this, finally let go of her worry. But soon, she was being nonchalant and reckless again, "Xiao Yao, what if Lu Zong really has a crush on me Should I just give in"

Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes. "You're overthinking it. Didn't you just say he got married"

"Oh, come on, I was just kidding! Now go out quickly, I'll be waiting for you at Donghua Mall."

"Well, alright."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Xiaoyao glanced at the time, then stretched and went to get ready to go out.

She spent several hours shopping and was completely exhausted when she returned.

Aunt Song arrived at the apartment at some point. Seeing her feet unsteady as she walked into the living room, Aunt Song was startled, "Madam, what's wrong with you"

Fu Xiaoyao smiled wryly at her, "I'm fine."

"You're saying you're fine, but your face is pale. Are you feeling unwell somewhere" Aunt Song hurriedly helped her to the sofa and sat down, then poured her a glass of water.

After drinking the water, Fu Xiaoyao finally felt much better. “Aunt Song, don’t worry, I’m really fine. I just walked around for too long and couldn’t hold on any longer.”

Yulin could shop for much longer than she had imagined.

Last time I went shopping, it was only for two hours. This time, I spent at least five hours walking. After so long, her legs felt like they were filled with lead, heavy and aching.

After hearing Fu Xiaoyao's explanation, Aunt Song let out a breath of relief while also feeling a bit reproachful. "Madam, your health isn't good, you shouldn't be walking around for so long in the future. What if something happens..."

"Alright, Auntie Song," Fu Xiaoyao interrupted her, "I know what I'm doing."

"Oh, you!" Aunt Song tapped her brow, looking quite exasperated.

Fu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue, "Is Aunt Song angry"

"No." Aunt Song shook her head slightly, then seemed to remember something and took out a business card from the pocket of her apron. "Madam, here you go."

"What's this" Fu Xiaoyao took it, blankly looking at the unfamiliar name and number on top.inuing to sleep.As she turned over, her pillow shifted slightly to the side, just enough to press down on her phone.At once, she could hear nothing at all.The next day, Fu Xiaoyao was awakened by a se...
