Two-Timing

At the Fu Residence.

The unease that had been plaguing Yao Leyi for days was finally confirmed at this moment.

She held a hairpin in her hand, a pair of tortoiseshell ones, which she had just found under Fu Hanchuan's pillow.

These weren't her hairpins!

So, whose were they?

First, there was the girl's photo, and now, there was a girl's hairpin...

"Fu Hanchuan!"

Yao Leyi's eyes reddened, tears welling up, unable to control her emotions any longer.

"Whose are these?"

"..."

Fu Hanchuan lowered his eyes, refusing to answer.

Although he still couldn't speak clearly, his behavior clearly indicated his reluctance to communicate.

"Heh, heh."

Yao Leyi chuckled bitterly, her emotions on the verge of breaking down.

"Right, I forgot, you can't speak. Fine, I'll ask you, and you just need to nod or shake your head, okay?"

She changed her tone, asking, "Tell me, do you have someone else? Hmm? Do you?"

Fu Hanchuan remained the same, his eyes lowered, neither looking at her nor responding.

At this moment, Yao Leyi was completely infuriated.

She suddenly reached out and cupped Fu Hanchuan's face, forcing him to look at her.

"Answer me! Nod or shake your head! Is that so hard?"

"..." Fu Hanchuan frowned deeply, his lips tightly pressed together, with a look in his eyes that she couldn't understand.

At this moment, Yao Leyi was almost certain that he did indeed have someone else!

But when did this happen?

He had been in a coma for so many years, so it was impossible. Then, it must have been years ago?

"!"

Yao Leyi stiffened, her back rigid.

"Fu Hanchuan!"

She gritted her teeth, her eyes wide with anger. "Do you think this is fair to me? Huh? Did you think of me when you were with her?"

Fu Hanchuan's breathing became noticeably heavier.

"Who is she? Who is she?"

Yao Leyi cried out, grabbing his collar, "I'm asking you! Don't pretend! Speak up! You can tell Qi Si to find someone, but you can't say her name?"

"Hey..."

Outside the door, Fu Mingzhu finally couldn't bear to watch any longer.

She hurried in and pulled Yao Leyi away. "Leyi, calm down. Hanchuan is still a patient!"

"Grandma..."

Yao Leyi cried, pointing at Fu Hanchuan. "Do you even know what he did to me? Wuwu..."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask him."

Fu Mingzhu, feeling exasperated, turned to her grandson. "Hanchuan, this is a misunderstanding, right? If you can't explain it, should we call Qi Si to clear things up?"

However, Fu Hanchuan finally reacted.

He sat in his wheelchair, moving slowly but firmly, shaking his head. He managed to utter a word, "No..."

"!?"

Yao Leyi was devastated. "Fu Hanchuan, you bastard!"

She stormed to the window in a few strides. "You won't say, huh? You keep her hairpin, looking at it countless times a day, right? Fine! I'll make sure you can't look at it or touch it!"

She threw the hairpin out the window!

"No!"

This word came out of Fu Hanchuan's mouth unusually clearly!

Even more astonishingly, he got up from the wheelchair, attempting to rush to the window.

But he obviously couldn't manage that yet.

With a loud crash, Fu Hanchuan fell heavily to the floor!

"Hanchuan!"

Fu Mingzhu was terrified, her face turning pale. She hurried to help him up. "Hanchuan, are you alright?"

Then she looked at Yao Leyi. "Leyi, can't you talk calmly? You know Hanchuan is still sick!"

"Grandma..." Yao Leyi sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

"Hey..."

Fu Mingzhu sighed helplessly. "I understand your feelings, but we haven't figured everything out yet, have we?"

Figured everything out?

Yao Leyi sneered coldly. Could the old lady not see how much Fu Hanchuan cared about this hairpin?

To say he had nothing to do with the owner of the hairpin would be a lie.

"Nurse!"

Fu Mingzhu called out. "Come in quickly, the young master has fallen!"

The door opened wide, and in came Fu Hanjian along with the nurse.

"What happened here?"

Fu Hanjian was stunned at the sight, quickly walking over. He was strong, and with an arm under Fu Hanchuan's armpit, he lifted him up.

Fu Hanchuan used his brother's strength to stand up, slowly sitting back in the wheelchair.

As soon as he was stable, he pressed the wheelchair button, heading towards the door.

"Grandma?"

Fu Hanjian was completely clueless about what had happened. He looked at Fu Hanchuan and then at Yao Leyi. "What's going on? Where is he going?"

"Oh dear!"

The old lady was anxious, following closely behind Fu Hanchuan. "Let's follow your brother and see what's happening first!"

A group of people, one after another, went downstairs to the garden.

Fu Mingzhu guessed what Fu Hanchuan intended to do and called Lin Ma to bring the servants to help search.

A large group of people, except for Yao Leyi, began searching.

"We're looking for two hairpins, what do they look like? Just find them, they're girls' accessories anyway!"

Hearing this, Fu Hanjian was surprised.

"Grandma, you mean... my brother?"

"Hey..."

Fu Mingzhu sighed, nodding. "I don't know the specifics, but..."

The old lady pointed to Fu Hanchuan, who was intently searching for the hairpin. "Look at your brother. It seems serious."

She hadn't expected her eldest grandson, who had never caused her any worry, to be involved in a 'two-timing' situation!

"If he had told us earlier that he had someone else, would I have needed to match you with Xiangsi? It's all so unfortunate!"

Too shocked, Fu Hanjian didn't know what to say.

Two-timing? His brother?

After two hours, they only found one hairpin.

"Hanchuan."

The old lady felt for her grandson. "You're tired. Go rest, and we'll keep looking for the other one, okay?"

Fu Hanchuan frowned, holding the hairpin tightly, unwilling to agree.

"Brother."

Fu Hanjian, also worried, tried to persuade him. "The hairpin must be in the Fu residence. Finding it is just a matter of time. Your health is important. If you don't rest, grandma won't rest either. Do it for her, okay?"

These words touched Fu Hanchuan.

After a moment's hesitation, he nodded. "Okay."

"Hurry! Take the young master back to his room!"

"Grandma, I'll help."

...

After settling Fu Hanchuan, Fu Hanjian left his room and came face to face with Yao Leyi.

"Leyi."

Yao Leyi crossed her arms, looking at him.

"Tell me the truth, do you know who that woman is?"

The two brothers were always open with each other!

Before Fu Hanchuan's accident, he trusted no one more than Fu Hanjian, and Fu Hanjian was a devoted brother!

"I..." Fu Hanjian shook his head helplessly. "I really don't know. My brother never mentioned it. There must be a misunderstanding. He's not that kind of person..."

"Hmph."

Yao Leyi didn't believe him at all. "Won't say, huh? Fine, keep it a secret! I want to see how long you can hide it!"
