bit short of breath lately."Huo Mingzheng tightened his grip on the bottle, a faint scent wafting through his nostrils.He closed his eyes, unscrewed the bottle cap, and took a sip of water."You've be..."It's alright, it was handled promptly. It just turned red a little." Huo Yuan didn't want to worry her too much.

"Aji added, "Miss YanYan, don't worry, I've already taken care of Mr. Huo."

Fu Yan nodded. "Big Brother, I remembered something I need to handle, so I'll go first. You didn't eat much of that porridge just now, there's still some in the clay pot, you can ask the maid to serve you some."

" Huo Yuan was placing his hands on the wheelchair's armrests, "What's so urgent Stay and have lunch with me."

Fu Yan waved her hand. "No, it's something I need to prepare before work tomorrow."

Even Huo Yuan didn't try to keep her, "Well then, come back home for a meal another day, I hired a chef who makes Guangcheng cuisine."

"Well, no problem." Fu Yan smiled.

As Huo Yuanshi saw Fu Yan get into the carriage, he turned back to glance at the man sitting silently on the sofa, sipping his tea.

"Why don't you stay for lunch, Aze"

Huo Mingzheng curved his lips, "Well then, let me try the Cantonese cuisine made by your hired chef. To see if it's authentic."

"Serve the rest of the fruit porridge," Huo Yuan instructed Aji, then casually asked, "When did you become so knowledgeable about Guangcheng cuisine, Aze"

Huo Mingzheng's fair and slender fingers held the emerald green teacup, a smile deepening on his face. "Big brother, why ask when you already know."

As Huo Yuan's wheelchair rolled forward, he smiled and said, "Then give it a try."

It's a pity that Yan Yan couldn't have some, she loves Guangcheng cuisine the most. Azheng, she's avoiding you.

Huo Mingzheng's smile froze for a moment, and he silently poured himself another cup of tea.

He chuckled softly, “Brother, good tea.”

Caofang has spent too many years with Huo Mingzheng, and he's started to pick up on the deeper meanings behind his words.

He unconsciously glanced at Huo Yuan when he saw him take the teacup from the servant's hand and put it under his nose to smell. "Indeed, it is a good tea, refreshing and invigorating. Azheng should drink more, it will help calm his temper."

Cao Fang thought that Huo Zong was just talking, and would not really stay here for a meal.

After all, he and Huo Yuan were on bad terms because at least Huo Yuan told Fu Yan the news of Ji Lin's car accident in a mansion in Jinling.

A normal person would never calmly sit down and have lunch together.

He might have been mistaken, though. Not only did Mr. Huo stay for the meal, but he also praised each dish thoroughly. Throughout the entire time, Huo Yuan's face remained in a perpetual smile.

Cao Fang thought to himself, "These two people are truly worthy of being cousins."

It's not something ordinary people can compare to. They remain calm and collected.

After lunch, we left from Huo Yuan's villa.

Huomingzheng untied his tie, carefully rolling it up as he asked Cao Fang, "Where did she go"

Cao Fang answered, "I went to Dr. Qin's hospital."

Ho Mingzheng's face darkened, saying something about handling work tomorrow. At that moment, he knew her words were just an excuse not to stay there.

As Huo Yuan said, she was hiding from him.

The car moved slowly forward. Huo Mingzheng squeezed his eyebrows. He had promised her freedom with his own mouth, to start a new life.

It was he who personally severed her trust in him. Now, if he were to break his word again, given her personality, she would simply disappear from Nancheng completely.

Huo Mingzheng's furrowed brow grew more pronounced, and Cao Fang, noticing this, pressed down on the accelerator, speeding the car back to the Jinling Manor.

Ho Mingzheng got out of the car, and Butler Luo stepped forward to greet him, "Mr. Ho, Dr. Xiao has arrived."

Xiaoying, Xiaoyi is the psychologist that Qin Heng introduced to Huo Mingzheng at first.

Huo Mingzheng let out a hum, then strode toward the living room with his long legs.

Xiao Ai was sitting on the sofa sipping tea when she heard footsteps. She calmly put down her teacup and stood up, "President Huo."

Huo Mingzheng nodded. "Thank you, Doctor Xiao, for going out of your way."

"Mr. Huo, as your doctor, it's my responsibility to take care of your condition. I heard you have a headache again"eat.He walked over and respectfully said, "Mr. Huo."Ho Mingzheng slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, blurring the agitation between his brows, "How long have you been in there""Cao Fang remained impassive...
