h, the tip of his lips moved slightly, rubbing against her lip.Fu Yan looked as if she had been electrocuted.They were close, their swallowing sounds audible. She felt even more awkward and realized s..."So funny" Huo Mingzheng's voice suddenly sounded above her head, and she stopped laughing instantly.

A man walked up to her again at some point, tossing a brand new pair of slippers by her feet. They were white and the soles looked very soft.

She was taken aback, her hand brushed against the man's trousers, and in a flash, he and Qin Heng walked out of the examination room. The nurse came in to apply medicine to her.

"I heard from Cao Fang that Fu Yan was almost bullied" Qin Heng leaned back in his office chair.

Ho Ming-cheng lit a cigarette. "Mind your own business."

“You can't get anything out of you, Cao Fang is much more reliable. He’s like a walking camera, capturing everything! Hey, Fu Jing looks pretty good. Protecting Fu Yan so well."

"Such a cliché," Huo Mingzheng threw the lighter onto the table, "a trick to coax little girls."

Qin Heng waved his hand dismissively: "Talking business, you're the best. But charming girls You have no idea. Someone like Fu Jing would definitely win a girl's heart. If I were a woman, I'd be completely smitten."

"I can send you to Thailand tonight." Huo Mingzheng looked at him coldly, "Fu Jing can wait for you."

"You, you!" Qin Heng was speechless. "I was just giving an example!"

He glanced at the silent Huo Mingzheng and yawned, "You seem to care about her quite a bit"

Huo Mingzheng brushed off the ash, heard Wai Yang對 nurses say thank you outside, and extinguished his cigarette, "Let's go."

Fu Yan was helped up by the nurse. As soon as she looked up, Huo Mingzheng walked in front of her, extending his arm to let her take it. Several pairs of eyes were watching them. She reluctantly took his arm.

"Thank you, second brother."

Huo Mingzheng lowered his eyes to look at her, her gaze resolute, holding back a surge of strength.

Back in the car, Huo Mingzheng didn't start it immediately. The private hospital was halfway up the mountain, and a man with a family bringing his mistress to see a doctor - a discreet place with good facilities.

A profound silence prevailed, broken only by the sound of wind rustling through the trees deep in the mountains at night.

The man's voice was low, "At the hotel, I stopped you from fighting Shen Wei and you got angry with me"

"No." Her answer was too quick, clearly unconvincing.

To be honest.

"No."

A brief silence.

Huo Mingzheng chuckled lightly, "There's no best choice. Between a future wife and a sister who spends all day trying to draw boundaries with me, which one should I choose"

"The second brother chose well."

Huo Mingzheng grabbed her chin, "You can joke around with Qin Heng, but you speak to me like this Fu Yan, look at how you're acting all petulant with me!"

"What does my second brother want me to say Do you think I hope you'll choose to stand on my side and you just will How is self-awareness written, I understand."

"You better actually understand."

Fu Yan choked, a surge of grievance welling up inside her. She fought hard to hold it back, not wanting to reveal her vulnerability in front of Huo Mingzheng.

She took a deep breath, "If tonight's events were orchestrated by Shen Wei, or even if she deliberately lured me in, setting up this whole scheme, would you still choose her"

The man let her go, "Where's the evidence"

Fu Yan blinked. She should have known this would happen. She had no evidence, only Shen Wei's oral confession. She regretted not bringing her phone into the restroom to record it. But even if she had, would Huo Mingzheng believe her

No, he said, he chose his fiancée.

"I was just assuming."

Huo Mingzheng fished out a cigarette from his pack, intending to light it. But then he caught sight of her cold profile in the corner of his eye. She had always been hard to trust and when she was wary of someone, she would give this very expression.

He tossed the cigarettes and lighter into the glove compartment, creating a clatter. He started the car and said nonchalantly, "This is unprecedented." and honestly.However, the instant her index finger curved, Huo Mingzheng's eyes were filled with a frenzy of darkness. A sinister and cold voice, each word icy, seeped into her ears, "You forgot your...
