Fu Xiaoyao.Lu Hanchuan let go of her, "Grandpa called you, go."Fu Xiaoyao nodded, staring at the many watchful eyes as she walked to the old man's side. "Grandpa,"The old man smiled kindly, “Xiaoyao,...Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao hurriedly stretched her neck to look around for Lu Hanchuan's location.

The only problem was that the lighting at the auction hall was dim, and everyone present wore a mask. For a moment, she really couldn't tell which one was Lu Hanchuan.

"Are you looking for President Lu" Fu Xiaoyao's frantic search caught Tang Yi's eye. With a little thought, he knew exactly who she was looking for.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't hide it from him, she directly and generously admitted, "Well, Qi's company auction, he will definitely come. It's just that I haven't found out where he is now."

"That's not difficult at all." Tang Yi clapped his hands.

A waiter dressed in a suit immediately appeared behind him, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with"

"Has Mr. Lu from the Lu Group arrived" Tang Yi asked.

Fu Xiaoyao stared at him, her jaw dropped. She suddenly felt like her intelligence had been severely challenged.

Yeah, she could have just asked the organizers where Lu Hanzchuan was, but she was acting clueless and looking around like a fool.

What else could it be besides stupid!

"Mr. Lu has already arrived." The staff member replied respectfully.

"Then where is he now" Tang Yi asked again.

A staff member pointed to a spot in the front row, then quickly withdrew their hand.

Tang Yi smiled and nodded, "I understand, thank you."

"No need for formalities, sir." The staff member bowed slightly and retreated.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at Tang Yi, "Which position did he just point to I didn't see clearly."

"The one in the middle of the first row is Lu Zong," Tang Yi told her.

As soon as Fu Xiaoyao heard this, she immediately looked towards the front row. Now that she knew Lu Hanchuan's exact location, she instantly saw him.

He sat with his back to her, some distance away, several rows apart.

Although she couldn't see his face, from that familiar back view, it was Lu Hanchuan. And on his left hand side was Qiao Mu.

"Mr. Lu came here just to take pictures of the Qi family's company, didn't he" Tang Yi stroked his chin and suddenly spoke.

Fu Xiaoyao glanced at him, then turned her gaze back to Lu Hanchuan's retreating figure, "You should be too."

"You guessed that too" Tang Yi raised an eyebrow.

Fu Xiaoyao curled her lips. "When you mentioned Qi's company just now, your eyes looked different, so I guessed you came here tonight for that."

Tang Yi chuckled softly, "So you've been paying so much attention to me You're right, my purpose is the same as Mr. Lu's, both of us are here for Qi Family Company. Taking down Qi Family Company will naturally propel the group forward even further."

"So you must definitely get the Qi family company tonight" Fu Xiaoyao asked.

Tang Yi stretched, "That's not necessarily true. If Mr. Lu didn't come, Qi's company would definitely be mine. But now that Mr. Lu is here, my chances of getting it are much lower. What if you go and tell Mr. Lu a few words, persuading him to give up on Qi's company"

Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding How could I say that Besides, I'm still in a cold war with him, so you better compete fairly with him yourself."

"Tsk, what a ruthless woman!" Tang Yi propped his head. "I think you secretly hope that President Lu gets Qi's company, don't you"

Having her thoughts read, Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but clear her throat, "That... no matter what, he is my husband, so..."

"Forget it, forget it. No matter what, the most important person in your heart is Mr. Lu anyway," Tang Yi said with a slightly dejected tone.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes dimmed and drooped.

Yes, no matter what, Lu Hanchuan is the most important person in her heart. Even if he made mistakes and hurt her, as long as she still loves him, he is the one she cares about the most.

So she naturally hoped he could successfully take over the Qi family's company.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao raised her eyes and stared at Lu Hanzchuan's back.

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too intense, Lu Hanchuan vaguely noticed.

He unconsciously turned his head back, seeing a woman staring intently at him.

That woman wore a red dress and had a delicate fox mask covering her face. Although she was faceless, the feeling she gave him was so familiar.

"Fu Xiaoyao!" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, muttering these three words.

Although Fu Xiaoyao couldn't hear what he was saying, the sudden look in his eyes made her heart jump.

Her heart pounded like a drum, and she hurriedly averted her gaze, no longer looking at him.

Tang Yi noticed something was amiss with her and instinctively asked, "What's wrong"

"Lu Hanchuan!" Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head and replied in a hushed voice, "He seems to have recognized me."

"Did you see Mr. Lu" Tang Yi asked in surprise.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed, "It's possible I was staring at him for too long just now. He's always so alert, so he probably noticed me."

Tang Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't this a good thing If he didn't recognize you, you should be heartbroken."

"What good thing is this!" Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes anxiously, "He recognized me, he'll definitely recognize you too, and he'll surely guess that I attended the event as your girlfriend. Who knows what he might do then."

"So you're worried about me" Tang Yi leaned closer to her.

Fu Xiaoyao pushed his face away directly, "You're overthinking it. I'm only worried about myself, okay Help me take a look, is he still looking at me"

"Alright, I'll take a look." Tang Yi looked at the first row.

Two seconds later, he calmly retracted his gaze, "Well, it's confirmed. He did recognize us. He's still staring this way, and his face doesn't look good."

Fu Xiaoyao held her forehead, a headache throbbing. "Sure enough.... I'm going to the restroom!"

She needed to wash her face, calm down, and get her mind together. She had to figure out how to deal with Lu Hánchuan for a while.

Since Lu Hanchuan has already recognized her and Tang Yi, he definitely won't let it go. After the auction is over, he will definitely come to them.

"Would you like me to accompany you" Tang Yi asked.

Fu Xiaoyao waved her hand. “No need, you want to bid on Qi’s company, right The next auction item will be up soon. You stay here and I'll go myself.”

Having said that, she got up and quietly left the auction hall.

In the restroom, Fu Xiaoyao stood before the sink, taking two handfuls of cold water and splashing it on her face.

The icy water sent a shiver down her spine, though she didn't say anything. It also calmed the turmoil within her somewhat.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her face seemed a little tired, even with makeup on, there was still a faint dark circle under her eyelids, giving off an utterly listless air.

"That won't do!" Fu Xiaoyao muttered, then she took out a tissue from her bag to wipe the water off her face, and then she took out lipstick and applied it.

After applying her lipstick, she took one last look in the mirror, feeling a bit more refreshed than before. Satisfied with her appearance, she put on her mask and headed out of the restroom, back to the auction hall.

However, just as she had stepped out of the restroom, a figure suddenly darted out from her right.

That figure moved quickly, before she could even see who it was, her wrist was grabbed and she was forcefully pushed back against the wall.

She was startled and just about to cry out when a large hand suddenly covered her mouth and whispered a warning, "Don't scream!"

The familiar voice, and the familiar scent of men's cologne, stunned Fu Xiaoyao for a moment.

How could she not have thought of it, the one who kidnapped her was actually him!

Lu Hanchuan!Yes, the car owner has a fever. We wanted to contact an ambulance for him, but he refused to say anything and instead asked us to come find you, so…"Before the property talk was finished, Fu Xiaoyao r...
