A sharp pain in my chest.

She abruptly shifted her gaze, wanting to say something, but found her throat constricted with discomfort. After a long pause, she finally regained her voice, speaking in a tone that was both sarcastic and indifferent.

"Mr. Huo wants to put on another melodrama in front of me Fine, bring it on, I can handle it."

Huo Mingzheng involuntarily tightened his grip on her hand, saying in a low voice, "I'm not acting with you."

"So you're telling a joke I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I really can't laugh."

"Yanyan, must you speak to me like this Don't you believe me, or are you afraid to" Huo Mingzheng stared intently into her eyes.

Fu Yan's eye rims flushed red all of a sudden, heartbroken over her past careful affection. "I don't want to believe it. Is President Huo satisfied now"

She desperately pulled her hand back, the redness in her eyes making Huo Mingzheng's hand stiffen. Feeling her pulling away, he tightened his grip, pulling her into his embrace and resting his chin on her shoulder, "It was my fault."

Fu Yan's chest heaved rapidly, "You casually brush aside your liking now, wanting to erase all the pain you inflicted on me in the past If liking someone is so cheap in your heart, Huo Mingzheng, you don't deserve it."

Huo Mingzheng felt icy tears rolling down her cheeks, over his chin. Fu Yan was trembling all over, begging him to let go with a voice almost pleading.

"Let me go!"

Watching Fu Yan escape from his arms, Huo Mingzheng's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Her words echoed in his mind:

Ho Mingzheng, you don't deserve it.

You don't deserve this.

His face blanched for a moment, draining all the color from him. He looked like a faded sculpture, standing behind the shadowy bookcase, despondent and silent.

Qin Heng received a call from Huo Mingzheng late at night.

"Where"

Qin Heng said, "The meeting just ended."

"Come to the land of intoxication, and have a drink."

Qin Heng was taken aback. Eighty percent, no, it definitely had something to do with Fu Yan.

He didn't hesitate, "Okay, let me send people back first, and then I'll come find you."

Before Ho Mingzheng hung up, he heard a woman's voice on Qin Heng's end calling out, "Doctor Qin."

Qin Heng arrived at the Drunken Realm already past twelve. Pushing open Huo Mingzheng's private room, Qin Heng walked in and saw that there were already several empty bottles on the table in front of Huo Mingzheng.

He couldn't help but frown, "Are you drinking or just downing it"

Ho Mingzheng didn't speak. He tilted his head back and drank the rest of the half bottle of wine in one gulp. His cold Adam's apple slid up and down, making Qin Heng's heart tremble. What kind of stimulation had he been given

In his memory, Huo Mingzheng had only drunk like this twice, without any plan whatsoever. It could almost be said to be self-abuse.

Once was when he left the military academy, and the other time was today.

Qin Heng quickly snatched the bottle of wine. "If I had known this would happen, what was the point of doing anything at all You said you liked her! Even if you misunderstood that she liked Huo Yuan, they didn't get married. Just go for it if you like her! It wasn't your fault you didn't."

Ho Mingzheng's face was ashen, he picked up another bottle of wine from the table, his tense fingers snapped it with a crash!

A shard of glass pierced my palm, and blood gushed out immediately.shocked, "He and Fu Yan, they... how could you not stop them" 。"Second Master Huo pinched the bridge of his nose, "He's not just my son, he's also the head of the family. Can I control what he does Or...
