Chapter 172: Like Strangers

e water.Lu Hanchuan looked at her, "Now, what are you going to do"Fu Xiaoyao didn't speak, she just handed him the cup of water.Lu Hanchuan took a drink from her, and didn't intend to let her off, "An..."A child" Fu Xiaoyao shook her head, her eyes dimmed with sadness and grief. "There is no child."

"What What did you say" Yulin's eyes widened in disbelief, "The child is gone"

"Hmm."

"How...how could it be" Yulin nervously looked at her stomach.

Fu Xiaoyao raised her head, holding back her tears. "There were some unexpected incidents."

"So you've become like this because of the loss of your child"

"About the same," Fu Xiaoyao said sadly.

This is just one reason, the other reason is that she had her bone marrow extracted for the second time, her body really collapsed, that's why she lost weight so drastically.

And her hair, it was falling out in clumps.

This way, she was afraid she would become bald.

"Xiaoyao, since your child is gone and your husband hasn't blamed you" Yulin was a little worried.

She knows that many men get furious when they think their wives can't keep their children safe.

Moreover, wealthy families place even greater emphasis on their offspring.

She is worried that her friend will be mistreated by her in-laws.

"Don't mention him." Fu Xiaoyao sank into a chair, looking exhausted.

Yulin was puzzled. "Why Could it be that your husband really..."

"No, but some things happened between us, and I'm getting a divorce." Fu Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

Yu Lin was shocked and immediately shouted angrily, "Divorce How come you suddenly want a divorce So it's true that your husband is angry because the child is gone, and he wants to divorce you, right How can you be like this Call your husband out, I'll help you scold him!"

"Linlin!" Fu Xiaoyao grabbed Yu Lin, who was emotionally agitated, and shook her head. "No need, I see it too, divorce might be a good thing for me."

But Xiao Yao, are you willing to do this Because if the child is gone, he will divorce you. That's...

"That's not how it is," Fu Xiaoyao sighed. "Things aren't as you think they are."

What's that like

"I'm not good at explaining it, it's complicated. And I haven't ever told you this, but my relationship with my husband isn't as good as you think. He doesn't really have me in his heart. This divorce, I'm just setting him free."

"So your husband doesn't love you" Yu Lin was completely dumbfounded.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response.

Yu Lin opened her mouth wide, "How could this be If he doesn't love you, why did he marry you"

Because of his elders' strong insistence, he always had someone he loved in his heart, that was his first love ex-girlfriend.

"My God, someone actually married you Even if it was arranged by their family, he doesn't know how to resist He's such a scumbag!" Yu Lin stomped her feet in righteous anger.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes and did not reply.

Yu Lin looked at her with concern, "Xiao Yao, are you really determined to divorce"

"Hmm."

"After your divorce, where are you going to go Are you going back to the Fu family I tell you, don't even think about it. Your parents wouldn't let you in the door." Yu Lin advised.

Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but chuckle. "I know what's going on in my heart, so I don't plan to tell them about the divorce. I'll wait for a chance to tell them later. As for where I'm going, I'll temporarily go back to my hometown for a while and wait until my body recovers before coming back up to find a new job."

"Wait!" Yu Lin squinted suspiciously, "Looking for a new job You quit"

"Yes, I came to you because I wanted to tell you this, I quit my job." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

Yu Lin was anxious, "I support you getting a divorce. After all, what's the point of keeping a scumbag who doesn't even deserve to be called a man But resigning is unnecessary, isn't it"

"Look at my body now, how could I possibly go to work I can't take leave every other day." Fu Xiaoyao said, lightly scratching her head and pulling out a handful of hair.

Yulin was shocked. "How did I lose so much hair"

"So my health isn't great right now," Fu Xiaoyao said, blowing her hair back and trying to sound nonchalant.

Yulin's eyes turned red, she hugged Xiao Yao tightly, "Xiao Yao..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll come visit you when I have time, or you can come see me then. It's just my hometown, you've been there before." Fu Xiaoyao patted Yu Lin on the back with a smile.

Yu Lin hummed and hawed, "But I don't want to part with you."

“I know, I don't want to be apart from you either, but the countryside is quiet, and with so much happening recently, I also need some time to myself.”

"I know, I'll go see you." Yulin loosened her grip and said earnestly.

Fu Xiaoyao emphasized the point with her head, “If you must come, then I’ll leave first. Won’t disturb your work.”

"Okay, goodbye." Yu Lin waved.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled at her and got up to leave.

In the parking lot.

Seeing Fu Xiaoyao walking towards her, Song Yi hurried over to help her up. "Madam, why did it take you so long to come down"

"I said goodbye to my friends separately." Fu Xiaoyao replied.

Aunt Song nodded, "That's right, get in the car."

She opened the car door and motioned for Fu Xiaoyao to get in.

But Fu Xiaoyao walked to the door, bent down just as she was about to get in the car, but saw that there was already someone sitting inside.

"How did you get here" Fu Xiaoyao frowned and asked in a cold voice.

Lu Hanchuan put down his phone, "Wait for me."

"Wait for me" Fu Xiaoyao asked, her lips pursed in confusion.

"Yes, I'll send you back to the villa." Lu Hanzhan said.

Fu Xiaoyao tightened her grip on the car door. "No need, thank you, Mr. Lu."

If he had proposed to her before, she would have almost cried tears of joy.

But now, she is unmoved.

"Whether you use it or not is your business, whether I send it or not is mine, get in the car!" Lu Hanchuan's thin lips pursed unhappily.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him quietly for a while, but instead of doing what he said, she closed the car door, went around to the front of the car, and opened the passenger door to get in.

Landongchuan's face immediately sank when he saw her like this.

What does she mean

Do you dislike him

"Drive!" Lu Hanchuan commanded in a low voice, his aura very bad.

The driver, who was driving, jumped in fright and repeatedly replied, "Yes."

After a long, silent drive, we finally returned to the villa over an hour later.

Fu Xiaoyao got out of the car and went straight into the villa. She didn't give Lu Hanchuan a single glance throughout the process, nor did she say a word to him.

Lu Hanchuan watched her back, his thin lips pursed into a straight line.

"Sir, I'm sure you must be feeling very upset" Aunt Song walked up to him and suddenly said.

Lu Hanchuan frowned, "What do you mean"

"Being ignored, disregarded, and treated with violence is a terrible feeling, isn't it" Aunt Song elaborated this time.

Lu Hanchuan's expression changed for a moment, but he didn't say anything.

Auntie Song encircled her arms, “For these three years, Madam has been living like this. Mr., you should be able to understand Madam's feelings now, shouldn't you”

After saying that, she sighed and entered the villa, leaving Lu Hannan alone on the spot. He stood there for a long time before coming to his senses.

Indeed, Fu Xiaoyao's coldness towards him recently had made him quite restless, a restlessness mixed with a hint of panic.

In general, this feeling is very bad and makes him very unhappy.

Only then did he realize that these actions were called cold violence, so for the past three years, had he been practicing cold violence on Fu Xiaoyao

At this moment, Lu Hanchuan's heart suddenly ached, and his breathing became a little rapid.

He never knew that what he did to Fu Xiaoyao was cold violence. He only knew that marrying her was something he couldn't accept, so he unconsciously wanted to stay away from her, didn't want to pay attention to her, and even less wanted to see her.

But never thought that what they did was cold violence.

Was he hurting her from the very beginningoyao lowered her head and replied apologetically. "I can't make the call. You know about Xiaochuan and me, everything at home is up to him. If you really want to go in, I'll give Xiaochuan a call."Say...
