My Dangerous Billionaire Husband Chapter 1561 - A Meeting

Newlyweds? Children? Such distant concepts.

She and Lu Fan had never truly…

The memory of that night, when he had forced himself upon her, still ignited her hatred.

Ou Xuyan's thoughts spiraled, until a tall, imposing figure appeared at the doorway. Lu Fan emerged, with Pu Tao trailing closely behind, acting like an adoring fan.

Lu Fan intended to head straight to the army, but he noticed Ou Xuyan standing outside, lost in thought. Her expression was peculiar, causing his brow to furrow. "Why is your face so flushed?"

"Ah?" Ou Xuyan was caught off guard. Recalling Mrs. Hai's words, she couldn't meet his gaze directly. "I, I feel warm."

Warm?

The idea of feeling warm in such chilly weather struck Lu Fan as either a blatant lie or a sign of her obliviousness. A smirk played on his lips.

Feeling his condescending gaze, Ou Xuyan felt an urge to flee. What was with that attitude? He always looked at her as if she were an imbecile – what a jerk.

"I'm heading to the army now," Lu Fan announced before departing with Pu Tao.

Ou Xuyan watched his arrogant retreating form, wishing she could unleash a kick.

"Mrs. Lu, I truly believe Chief Lu possesses remarkable physique. He surely wouldn't need enhancers like bull's p*nis…" Mrs. Hai resumed her gossiping.

Ou Xuyan glanced at the man as he walked away with a powerful, swift stride. His long legs were striking, and his physique was lean and muscular, like a runway model…

Hold on, what was she thinking?

Ou Xuyan lightly tapped her own head. Goodness, she’d actually started listening to Mrs. Hai’s chatter.

Mrs. Hai was about to continue, but Ou Xuyan quickly pleaded for escape. "Mrs. Hai, I haven't had breakfast yet. I'll head inside first. We can chat more later when I have time."

…

Word of Lu Fan's late awakening spread like wildfire through the army. Yi Qiaoqiao seethed, digging her nails into her palms. Why? Her plan was to drive a wedge between Lu Fan and Ou Xuyan, but now it appeared she had inadvertently pushed them closer together.

She had made a complete fool of herself.

Her affections for Lu Fan were profound. If Ou Xuyan hadn't suddenly entered the picture, she might have already married Lu Fan. Ou Xuyan would have been relegated to a mere extra in her life story.

Yi Qiaoqiao retreated into a dimly lit alley, consumed by sadness and anger.

Suddenly, a stone struck her knee. "Ah!" she cried out, collapsing onto her knees.

A moment later, another stone hit her right cheek. She instinctively clapped a hand over her mouth, tasting the coppery tang of blood.

"Who, who's there?" Yi Qiaoqiao demanded, searching for her assailant.

But the surroundings were eerily silent. No one was in sight.

Weeping from the pain, Yi Qiaoqiao felt her face swelling. She painfully pushed herself up and hurried to find her father, Yi Shizhang.

…

Inside the house, Ou Xuyan heard a knock at the door. Someone was seeking entry.

"Coming," she replied, moving to open it.

Two soldiers stood at the threshold. "Is this Mrs. Lu? Good morning. Division Commander Yi sent us to invite you over. Are you available now?"

Ou Xuyan's expression remained impassive. She nodded. "I am."

The soldiers escorted Ou Xuyan to the Division Commander's office, where the sound of crying could be heard. Yi Qiaoqiao sat on a chair, her face buried in her hands as she sobbed, while Division Commander Yi attempted to comfort her.

"Reporting to the Division Commander, Mrs. Lu has arrived."

"Understood. You two may go."

After the soldiers departed, Ou Xuyan inquired, "Division Commander Yi, may I ask the reason for this invitation?"
