e, wavering, unreal, and Fu Yan was startled.The car slowly drove into the residential area.Her heart was beating erratically. She wanted to lie and admit it, but she couldn't resist the influence Huo...Fu Hanlin's gaze lingered on her for a second before he nodded in response.

Fu Yan immediately reacted, the Huo family and the Fu family's marriage alliance meant they were now in-laws. It was perfectly normal for Fu Hanlin to come to celebrate her birthday.

He walked toward the oncoming Old Master Huo, "Mr. Huo, happy birthday."

He gestured to his assistant to bring up the gift, which was a Ming Dynasty painting.

"Mr. Fu spent a lot of money," the old master said with a smile, letting the housekeeper take it.

Old Master Huo's gaze swept meaningfully over Fu Yan, asking Fu Hanlin, "I heard from Fu Xiaotou that President Fu is in love with her"

Fu Yan's heart sank. How could she have forgotten about this When Fu Hanlin came over just now, she had called him "Mr. Fu," clearly indicating a superior-subordinate relationship. Even if they were breaking up, it felt too distant.

She secretly wiped a cold sweat from her brow. She had reminded Fu Hanlin before, he should remember, right

If anyone from the Huo family asks about us, just say it's not appropriate and that we broke up.

Fu Hanlin glanced at Fu Yan with a slight smile and said, "Yes, but we're not planning on making it public yet."

Fu Yan was stunned.

Song Qing˪ was also stunned.

Didn't Zhiyan tell her before that it was fake

Old Master Huo half-closed his eyes and smiled, "It seems the Fu family and the Huo family are about to become even closer."

He looked at Huo Mingzheng who was walking over and reminded him, "Azheng, you and President Fu are business rivals, don't make things too stiff on the surface. Don't make Aunt Fu feel embarrassed in the middle."

"Have I missed something" Huo Mingzheng asked in a flat tone.

Song Qing˪ couldn't hide her excitement, but she also knew it wasn't the right time to go public. Thankfully, Mrs. Liu had been called away. She said excitedly: "Mr. Fu is dating our little YanYan."

"Oh" Huo Mingzheng's gaze swept across Fu Yan's face, a low chuckle escaping his lips. "Really"

A predicament where one is trapped on a tiger. Fu Yan stood with Fu Hanlin to her left and Huo Mingzheng to her right, facing the elderly patriarch of the Huo family.

"Really," she said.

Huo Mingzheng's eyes darkened slightly, he smiled and extended his hand to Fu Hanlin, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Fu with taking care of my sister."

The two characters "little sister" sent a chill down Fu Yan's spine. She was afraid that Huo Mingzheng would suddenly go mad.

"Fu Yan was still very obedient." Fu Hanlin reached out and held her hand.

The force coming from his hand, he languidly looked towards Huo Mingzheng.

"Azheng, so you're here, I've been looking for you for ages."

Li Qin walked over.

Fu Yan clearly felt the intangible pressure being broken.

"What's wrong" Huo Mingzheng turned his head to look at her.

When Fu Yan saw her take Huo Mingzheng's hand, she averted her gaze and pulled Fu Hanlin away. "Excuse me," she said.

Once they reached a deserted place, she loosened her grip. Before she could speak, Fu Hanlin said, "I'm sorry."

Fu Yan shook her head and bit her lower lip, "Why did President Fu say that"

She wasn't blaming Fu Hanlin, she was the one who had dragged him down in the first place. She just didn't expect him to respond that way to Old Master Huo.

Mingming could have used this opportunity to distance himself.

Fu Hanlin said softly, "You just said you wanted to date me and break up after such a short time. It's not very believable. Although Old Master Huo is old, he's still shrewd. He wouldn't believe it so easily. I'm sorry I didn't answer as you had said before."

"I owe you an apology. It's my fault that you're in this predicament. I should be thanking you, not the other way around. I wasn't thinking things through."re and ascetic nature.He has always kept his distance from women. Many people who tried to arrange women around him have been warned.But he actually drank the project manager of the new company's wine...
