was, her fingers in her pocket clenched tight. She turned around and reluctantly called out, "Second Brother.""I can't bear the title of 'second brother' from you." Huo Mingzheng brushed past her, hi...Before Fu Hanlin came over, Huo Mingzheng flicked the ash off his finger.

He loosened his tie with one hand, and the top button of his black shirt came undone. He took two long strides.

His cold, piercing gaze met Fu Hanlin's fist in mid-air. The seemingly gentle man, always modest and courteous in public, held immense power hidden beneath his muscles, ready to unleash with explosive force.

Fu Hanlin seized the opportunity while he was distracted, grabbing his collar with his other hand. "Fu Yan has started a new life now. Everything makes her feel comfortable and hopeful. What right do you have to disrupt her life again and again Do you deserve to"

Ho Mingzheng nonchalantly lowered his gaze to glance at his collar, letting out a cold snort: "What identity do you have to interfere in my affairs with her"

"Pursuer"

"Still a rejected pursuer."

As Huo Mingzheng's words fell, he also pushed away Fu Hanlin, who was grabbing his collar.

Fu Hanlin's calm words stabbed Huo Mingzheng's heart and lungs like a sharp knife. "At least I can openly pursue her, what about you You claim to want her to start a new life and forget about you, so what are you doing now Compared to my openness, you are a liar!"

Ho Mingzheng's lips curled into a half-smile. He extinguished his cigarette, flicking the butt into the trash can with his thumb.

"Open and honest When you say those four words, does your conscience give you any warning"

As night fell and the neighborhood quieted, only the rustle of leaves stirred by the wind could be heard. A single leaf was swept to Fu Hanlin's feet, rustling softly against his leather shoes.

"Last time I mentioned it at the hospital, did you tell YanYan I guess not, because you're afraid. You're afraid she'll soften her heart and come back to me, then you'll have no chance anymore. Fu HanLin, is this what you call being upright and honest It turns out even a humble gentleman isn't that noble after all."

Fu Hanlin rolled up his sleeves, the tendons in his forearm prominent. He looked up at Huo Mingzheng, his eyes no longer carrying the calmness of before. "Even if she knew, she wouldn't return to your side."

Someone gave her poison through the hand of Luna, making her body weaker and weaker over time. In the end, she couldn't keep the child... However...

Fu Hanlin's words were like thunder, "When you found her, she was already out of Luna's sight. The drugging had stopped, and the child still had a chance to live. If it weren't for your meddling, she wouldn't have lost that child in such a short time."

"I am responsible, so I took her to the Fu family's old house to take good care of her and help her get better."

Ho Mingzheng suddenly clenched his fingers, the night wind whipping across his face, as if it had taken away the color of blood.

Fu Yan saved the ultrasound photo in her WeChat Favorites, which shows how much she anticipates that child and how much she desires to be a mother.

" Huo Mingzheng, don't be delusional anymore. Fu Yan will never come back to you."

He Mingzheng took a breath, "You're saying there's still a possibility that the child you spoke of is alive Or is this what you hope for We both know how weak Anian's body is. I didn't tell her because I failed to protect her, and I failed to protect the child. I don't deserve to mention that child in front of her. I will definitely find out who poisoned her, but Anian, I will never give up on her."

"How can you not let go Are you going to continue with that forceful and possessive attitude" Fu Hanlin's voice was calm but carried a hint of coldness.

"Yan Yan is an individual, she doesn't belong to you, and she's not a toy for you to manipulate!"

...Yan Yan...

"You dare call her that" Huo Mingzheng's lips curled into a cold, mocking arc.ng came from behind. Huo Mingzheng strode toward her, long legs carrying him with each step. He first pulled her hand to check, "What's wrong"Fu Yan turned away, her emotions complex. "You stole my bo...
