questions, diverse and varied, kept pouring out from this group of people.Fu Xiaoyao's head was about to explode. She was squeezed so tightly that she couldn't even stand properly, and her clean prof..."Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flickered as she replied, "I took a call outside, and then I saw Fu Bo holding Xiao Baojing. So I followed them up."

Her answer was well-reasoned, and Lu Hánchuan couldn't tell for a moment whether it was true or false.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and stopped asking. He walked over and took Xiao Bao from her arms, saying, "The banquet has begun, let's go."

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on her dress, said a word to Fu Bo, and followed the father and son back into the banquet hall.

Lu Hanchuan directly hugged Xiao Bao onto the high platform.

On the platform, the lights shone down, illuminating the father and son's figures as if they were glowing, a truly beautiful sight.

Lu Hanchuan took the microphone from Qiao Mu and began introducing Xiaobao's identity.

Actually, everyone knows Xiao Bao's identity. After all, it's written clearly on the invitation card. Even if the invitation card didn't write it, just looking at Xiao Bao and Lu Hanchuan's identical faces, everyone could guess it.

They were just curious about who Xiaobao's mother was.

However, Lu Hanchuan didn't tell them his intentions. After introducing Xiaobao, he told Qiao Mu to take Xiaobao down.

"Next, I have something else to say." Lu Hanchuan held the microphone and suddenly looked in one direction.

The lighting designer followed his gaze and shone the light in that direction.

Fu Xiaoyao was bathed in the light, her red lips pursed.

She knew what Lu Hanchuan wanted to do.

Uncle Fu just told me.

This banquet was not only an introduction for Xiao Bao, but also a planned event by Lu Hanchuan. He wanted to confess his feelings to her at the banquet.

To be honest, she was incredibly surprised when she first heard it, and her feelings were very mixed.

Because Lu Hanchuan dared to confess his love to her in such a situation, in front of so many people, it was already enough to prove his sincerity. Anyone would be moved by this.

But she was very clear about what she wanted. She might feel touched by his confession, but she wouldn't agree to it.

As expected, Lu Hanchuan walked towards Fu Xiaoyao, holding a bouquet of bright red roses in his hand at some point.

Stopping in front of Fu Xiaoyao, Lu Hanchuan handed her the rose. "Xiaoyao, you wanted to ask me why I came to pick you up personally on the way here, didn't you This is the reason, I..."

"What's General Lu saying" Fu Xiaoyao suddenly interrupted him.

A stiff greeting from the CEO, caused Lu Hchuan's brows to furrow.

He looked at her and suddenly felt that something about her was different.

"Xiaoyao..."

"Is Lu Zong trying to confess to me" Fu Xiaoyao interrupted him again, her tone laced with a hint of playfulness.

Such she, made Lu Hanchuan already completely certain, she became different.

Although he realized this, Lu Hanchuan still nodded. "Yes."

"Heh heh." Fu Xiaoyao reached out and fiddled with the rose in front of her, but she didn't take it. She let him hold it up, a faint sneer on her face. "I'm sorry, President Lu, I won't accept it."

As soon as these words were uttered, the crowd was in an uproar.

They didn't understand why this woman refused Mr. Lu for no apparent reason.

You have to know, even though Lu has had two divorces, he's still Chairman Lu, the head of the Lu family.

To marry into the Lu family means to have wealth and honor right away.

Lu Hanchuan didn't know why the woman in front of him refused him. He retracted his hand holding the rose, his face slightly gloomy, "Give me a reason."

"The reason is, I don't like General Lu." Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, smiling coldly.

Lu Hanchuan's pupils shrank.

Don't like him

It's impossible!

If she doesn't like him, why would she act like she does She was drunk that day, why would she subtly hint at wanting to be with him

"Shi Yao, do you know what you're saying" Lu Hanchuan put down the rose and looked at Fu Xiaoyao with deep eyes, his eyes holding an emotion that was hard to read.

Fu Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, she avoided his gaze and let out a cold laugh again, "Of course I know, I've always known what I'm saying, Lu Zong, to be honest with you, I've never liked you, so your confession, I can't accept it."

Having said that, she turned to leave.

At that moment, a figure suddenly pushed through the crowd and rushed over, holding a transparent glass bottle in their hand. The bottle contained a clear liquid.

After the man rushed over, he held up a glass bottle high, his eyes, which were obviously unfocused, stared at Fu Xiaoyao. He suddenly screamed, "Die!"

As soon as he spoke, the man hurled a glass bottle at Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't expect this person to be coming for her. She was stunned on the spot and forgot to react.

As the glass bottle was about to smash against her, a big hand suddenly reached out, grabbing her by the side and pulling her back.

Bang!

The glass bottle shattered upon impact, breaking into several pieces on the ground instantly. The liquid inside splattered everywhere.

And the parts that had been touched by the liquid were actually sizzling with a sound of corrosion.

Everyone who witnessed this scene gasped in terror, their eyes filled with fear.

"Sulfuric acid, this is sulfuric acid!" someone shouted.

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in screams.

Lu Hanchuan's face was extremely ugly as he shouted, "Arrest him!"

Soon, the bodyguard who received the order controlled the person who threw sulfuric acid.

It was strange. After dropping the sulfuric acid, the man didn't run away immediately. Instead, he stood there blankly, looking around as if he didn't understand what he had just done, or even where he was.

Even when restrained, he did not struggle, but instead offered a silly smile, which was clearly abnormal.

Fu Xiaoyao was tightly held in Lu Hanchuan's arms. Hearing someone shouting "sulfuric acid," a bead of cold sweat involuntarily rolled down her temple.

That was sulfuric acid!

Sulfuric acid can corrode a person alive!

If Lu Hanchuan hadn't pulled her away in time, she would definitely have been burned by sulfuric acid right now. She would have experienced the burning sensation for the third time.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao was terrified and at the same time felt a complex mix of emotions toward the man holding her.

She had just rejected him, in front of so many people, humiliating him, and he still saved her.

"Are you alright" Lu Hanchuan sensed the woman in his arms looking at him again, and he slightly lowered his head, asking with a voice that couldn't hide his nervousness.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head, "I'm fine, let go of me first."

"Okay." Lu Hanchuan let go of her.

Only then, upon gaining her freedom, did Fu Xiaoyao turn her gaze to the man who had been throwing sulfuric acid. As she watched his increasingly foolish demeanor, a heavy feeling settled in her heart.

That person didn't seem crazy, nor did they seem stupid. It was as if they had absorbed something and lost their rationality. Fu Xiaoyao pointed at the person and said.

Lu Hanchuan hummed in response, “I see that too, but let’s talk about it later. I’ll send these guests away first.”

After he finished speaking, he left temporarily.

By the time he had seen off most of the guests, only a handful of people remained in the ballroom.

Fu Bo and Qiao Mu also heard about the incident in the banquet hall and came over.

"Who dares do such a thing!" Old Master Fu stomped his cane in anger.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at the pool of sulfuric acid being cleaned up, her eyes flickering constantly.

Lu Hánchuan walked over, “I came because of you. You know who it is, right”

Fu Xiaoyao turned her face to look at him, "That's right, only her."

"Your enemy"

"Yes!"

“Mr. Lu,” A bodyguard suddenly stepped forward, interrupting Lu Hanchuan who was about to continue asking questions. “Mr. Lu, we searched the entire old house and didn’t find any other suspicious individuals, but we figured out how this person got in.”th a smirk.Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's heart was struck with a sudden jolt, and a surge of overwhelming emotion washed over her. "Grandpa..."She thought that when the old man said to her, on her d...
