The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a hospital, with only a nurse by her bedside.

"Miss Yan, you're finally awake."

"Why am I here?"

"A Mr. Lu brought you to the hospital."

"What about others?"

"He just left. He asked me to stay here and watch over you until you wake up. Miss Yan, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"No, thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Your change of clothes are here. Mr. Lu said he has settled the bill. You can go back now that you're awake and alright."

Yan Liluo then looked down to see what clothes she was wearing.

Who changed my hospital gown?

"Your clothes were soaked when you came last night, so our nurses helped you change into a hospital gown."

"Thank you all, you've worked hard." Yan Liluo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and her expression relaxed considerably.

"Miss Yan, you're too kind. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now so you can change your clothes."

"Hey, wait!"

"Is there anything else, Miss Yan?"

"Did he bring the clothes too?" Yan Lilu asked, pointing to the bag containing the clothes.

"Yes."

Grandpa Yan was reading the newspaper when Han Fei followed Lu Jingchuan to the Yan family home. Lu Jingchuan brought many valuable items with him, showing his sincerity.

Lu Jingchuan knew Old Master Yan, but he didn't know what he was here for today.

"Hello, Professor Yan, I am Lu Jingchuan."

What is your intention in doing this?

"This is just a small gift, I hope you won't mind, Elder Yan."

"But you..."

"It was impolite of me not to have formally paid my visit to you."

Grandpa Yan still invited Lu Jingchuan into the house, but did not allow Han Fei to bring the gifts inside. He just wanted to talk to Lu Jingchuan alone.

"Didn't you and Yan Luo cancel your engagement?"

"It has been cancelled, which is why I came to visit you today. I also wanted to express my feelings to you. The last engagement was arranged by both families for the sake of mutual benefit. This time, I want to put aside the interests and pursue you again."

Lu Jingchuan's words were unexpected for the old man.

Yesterday, Yan Liluo left her phone in the office and went straight back to the company after leaving the hospital.

Huo Xiangtian failed to catch up yesterday and was worried about Yan Luo's safety, so he used his connections to search for her in Jincheng. However, Lu Jingchuan had already taken precautions against Huo Xiangtian's appearance and disturbance, and had Zuo Meng arrange for people to keep an eye on her. He deliberately stirred up some trouble at Huo's place, keeping Huo Xiangtian too busy to get away.

Last night, some unexpected issues arose at the company, and Huo Xiangtian worked through the night, so much so that he clearly looked like he hadn't slept all night. Indeed, he was worried about Yan Liluo, and after finishing his work, he came to Yan's Group early this morning.

Yan Liluo had just arrived at the company when she met Huo Xiangtian at the entrance.

"Yan Luo, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, what are you doing here?"

Huo Xiangtian looked tired, but Yan Liluo didn't offer any words of concern or greeting.

"I was worried about you and wanted to come and see you."

"I think you're overthinking it. I'm an adult, and I can handle any problems myself. You don't need to worry so much."

Huo Xiangtian smiled as always and said gently, "It's good that you're alright. I was overthinking it. I have to go now."

Turning around, he couldn't help but look somewhat disappointed.

"To the heavens."

The sudden voice behind him made a smile bloom on his face again. Feigning composure, he turned around abruptly. "What is it?"

"sorry!"

"What do you mean by apologizing to me?" Huo Xiangtian frowned.

"You really don't need to care about me so much. No matter how good your attitude is, I've never had any feelings for you. I know how you feel about me, but I'm really sorry. I've forced myself to try to have some feelings for you."

"I don't want to deceive myself, and I can't deceive you. You deserve better. I'm not suitable for you, and I don't want to be your only option."

“You are the most suitable.” He said in a low voice.

"Don't be fooled by my appearance; I'm not worthy of your affection."

"You will always be the best in my eyes and heart. I have never been deceived by you. Whether it is the you on the surface or the real you, you are the same person in my eyes, without any difference."

"I'm sorry!" Yan Liluo said those three words again solemnly, indicating that no matter what Huo Xiangtian said, it was impossible for them.

"To avoid any misunderstandings about our relationship, let's try to see each other less often in the future."

After saying that, Yan Liluo walked into the company gate.

The light that had been in Huo Xiangtian's eyes dimmed, as if he had fallen into an abyss and struck his most fatal heart.

Huo Xiangtian understood that Yan Luo's words just now were enough to show that they could no longer even be ordinary friends.

Lu Jingchuan chatted with the old man for quite a while before leaving. As for the gifts that the old man had left outside, Lu Jingchuan took it upon himself to have Han Fei bring them inside.

A while ago, I talked to Yan Luo about Lu Jingchuan. I felt that Yan Luo probably had feelings for Lu Jingchuan, but the two of them might have some kind of conflict. The old man didn't want to make things too awkward, lest he end up breaking them up if they really got together in the future. So the old man didn't say much. Lu Jingchuan insisted on giving him a gift, and he didn't refuse outright.

After leaving the Yan family's house, Han Fei drove to the address Lu Jingchuan had given him. Upon arrival, Han Fei stayed by the car while Lu Jingchuan walked into a residential building, entered the elevator, and called Jiang Hao to say he would be there soon.

The elevator stopped, and Lu Jingchuan stepped out, only to find Jiang Hao waiting outside.

"Is nobody here?" Lu Jingchuan asked.

"There's definitely no one here."

"What about people?"

"It's inside." Jiang Hao said, opening the door.

Before entering the house, Lu Jingchuan put on the hat and mask he had already put on to cover his face before going inside.

Inside the room was a middle-aged man. Jiang Hao introduced him to Lu Jingchuan as Mr. Song. Then Jiang Hao introduced Lu Jingchuan to Mr. Song. Jiang Hao did not directly reveal Lu Jingchuan's true identity, but instead used the false surname Mr. Jia.

Lu Jingchuan sat down and then explained his intentions to Mr. Song. He wanted to inquire about some things and a person. He wanted to clarify the matter and then took out a photo of Yan Liluo.

"If I can find out what I want to know, and the information is true and reliable, I can add a little more to the final payment."

"I don't know if Mr. Jia has a time limit."

"The sooner the better. If it can be resolved within a month, I can increase it to five million."

"Okay, I need to know how to contact Mr. Jia once things are clear?"

"I'll be waiting for you here one month from today."

"it is good."

With everything settled, the man surnamed Song left first.

Lu Jingchuan also took off his hat and mask, and asked Jiang Hao with concern, "Is this person reliable?"

"I found out through connections, it's absolutely reliable."

"That would be best. I'm afraid my brother will find out." Lu Jingchuan said with a frown. In the past, when he investigated Li Mu, the information he obtained was a mix of truth and falsehood, leaving him confused.

It's true that Yan Liluo is Luo Chuan, but this woman always gives him the feeling that she's hiding a big secret, and he vaguely feels that it's related to him. Otherwise, why would Lu Jingshen let her reappear in his sight?

"This person is absolutely reliable and trustworthy in keeping secrets."

Lu Jingchuan remained silent, hoping that, as Jiang Hao had said, Lu Jingshen would not know.
