mily might have said something to him beforehand, leaving Fu Hanlin unprepared.The main reason is that she feels guilty.Fu Hanlin closed the car door, glanced at her, nodded in greeting, and then stro...Ji Lin turned to grab Fu Yan, but Cao Fang reached out and stopped him the next second. "Second Master Ji, Mr. Huo said this is a family affair of the Huo family, I hope you don't get yourself into trouble."

Fu Yan was worried they would clash, so she stopped Ji Lin and said, "It's fine, I'm innocent now, they wouldn't dare to touch me. I'm just going back to see my mom, don't worry."

How could Ji Lin possibly rest assured, especially now that she is pregnant

Seeing his worry, Fu Yan said, "I'll protect myself. Trust me."

“ Huo, if something happens to Fu Yan, I won’t let you off!” Ji Lin endured it for Fu Yan’s sake, and the expression on his handsome face also subsided.

Huo Mingzheng glanced at him coldly, then turned and strode toward the elevator.

It was noon, but the lack of sunlight made it gloomy. The air was thick with a faint humidity, and a light drizzle was falling.

Cao Fang opened the car door and waited by the side of the car.

Fu Yan was looking at the light rain outside and was about to go out when Huo Mingzheng suddenly pulled her into his arms. His coat was open, wrapping her upper body, not allowing any rainwater or chill to touch her.

Fine rain drops fell on Huo Mingzheng's shoulders, densely packed, like intertwined white hairs, disappearing into the black coat in a short while.

Fu Yan was taken into the car. The door closed, and warm air hit her face.

Fu Yan moved to the corner of the carriage and sat down. The faint woody scent, unique to men, lingered around her nose. She remained silent, staring out the window as Yu Guang reached out with a handkerchief, wiping the broken edge of his lips.

Cao Fang didn't understand, even if he was injured, dodging Ji Lin's attack wouldn't be a difficult thing for him.

But he stood his ground, refusing to dodge or evade, and took the punch head-on.

Ho Mingzheng threw away the bloodstained handkerchief and looked at the woman sitting in the corner opposite him, his voice cold: "Come here or shall I come to you"

He pretended not to hear her.

Ho Mingzheng sat beside her with a composed face, forcefully lifting her legs and rolling up her pants to expose both knees.

Cen's thin lips tightened.

Up close, it's even more horrifying. No wonder I couldn't even walk the road yesterday.

Why didn't you use the cushion Cao Fang prepared for you yesterday

Fu Yan remained silent, staring out the window with tightly clenched lips.

remain silent, neither speaking nor looking at him.

"Because I don't believe you, I'm angry." Huo Mingzheng's tone was flat and direct, hitting Fu Yan's heart.

Cao Fang, seeing them so stiff, couldn't help but speak up and persuade: "Ms. Fu, Mr. Huo believes in you. If he didn't believe you, he wouldn't have risked his illness to question the gardener all night for your sake. In fact..."

"Focus on driving your car." Huo Mingzheng coldly interrupted him.

Cao Fang took a deep breath, unwilling to give up. He closed his mouth and raised the partition inside the car.

"Is this a trick you're known for, Mr. Huo" Fu Yan finally turned her head and gave him a cool look. "A slap followed by a piece of candy."

She made her kneel for eight hours, and now she's coming to 'check on her well-being'.

Ho Mingzheng looked at her unyielding face, his expression growing even colder. "Speak properly."

Fu Yan closed her mouth, turned her head and continued to look out the car window. As they passed Beihua Street, the rain had stopped. There was a grand proposal ceremony there, with many people watching. Fu Yan closed her eyes and looked away.

But inadvertently bumped into Huo Mingzheng's eyes.

He seemed about to turn her face, so he was very close.

Her obsidian eyes, faintly reflecting her own face, had gained a touch of color after a good night's sleep. She was even more vibrant and alluring.gged at Fu Yan's arm.Fu Yan walked forward with determination. Song Qing霜 tried to pull her back, but it was like pulling a stubborn donkey. Instead, Fu Yan used force to shake her hand away and looke...
