Chapter 4

and she scrambled out of the master bedroom.Ran out of the main building, ignoring the pain in my feet and sprinting across the lawn.The estate was vast, with a long stretch of lawn between the main...Fu Yan clenched her phone tightly, her palm sweating. Sure enough, he had heard her.

Before she could even speak, Huo Mingzheng's voice sounded like it was laced with frost, "You're quite eager, aren't you"

Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't tell the truth. "My mom said the other party is quite good, so we can try it. Women eat youth rice, in a few years I'll be old."

She realized this road wasn't leading to the apartment she rented, but to the house Huo Mingzheng had bought for her.

She leaned forward and patted the back of the chair, "Cao Secretary, please let me off ahead."

Cao Fang is Huo Mingzheng's man. He doesn't speak, and Cao Fang doesn't dare to act on his own. "Miss Fu, it's late, and there are no cars here."

There were so many people ahead of us, it was a mess. I told her we wouldn't be able to get a taxi.

He lied with his eyes wide open, Fu Yan also couldn't do anything about him. She looked at Huo Mingzheng beside her, he held a cigarette in his left hand, unlit, the mouthpiece was deformed by him.

As Fu Yan and the other met eyes, the cigarette snapped in half. Ash rained down.

"Park on the roadside." Huo Mingzheng's voice was very cold.

Cao Fang immediately drove the car into the emergency lane and stepped on the brakes.

"Get out of the car."

After the fire was extinguished, Cao Fang immediately got out of the car without hesitation.

Fu Yan Gang was about to pull the car door when a powerful hand suddenly encircled her waist, pulling her back!

"Their terms are pretty good, huh How good exactly" His tone wasn't quite anger, nor was it mockery. His breath was cool and piercing, encompassing everything around him.

Fu Yan was suffocated by his tone. She wanted to push him away, but the man's arms were like cast iron; she couldn't budge him with her strength.

Ho Mingzheng would never let her go easily. After that unsatisfactory encounter at the Ho Family Mansion, he would definitely find an opportunity to make up for it.

Now, even she can’t tell if he’s dissatisfied or angry.

At Huo Gongguan, it wasn't anything compared to this. Only now did Fu Yan truly understand how powerful a man's anger could be.

1:30 AM

Fu Yan was completely drained and leaned against Huo Mingzheng, allowing him to carry her into the elevator. He carried her out of the elevator, holding her with one hand while unlocking the fingerprint lock.

As soon as she entered, Fu Yan saw three suitcases placed in the entryway.

The black one belongs to Huo Mingzheng. She packed his luggage before he went on a business trip, and he just got back today.

...and the silver and white ones are hers.

She got the keys to the rented house this morning before going to work. She was planning on going back after the dinner party to clean up.

It has come back exactly as it was before.

It goes without saying that Huo Mingzheng had someone bring it back.

She choked back a sob, unable even to muster a wry smile.

Ho Mingzheng followed her gaze, said nothing, and went to the bathroom to wash himself clean. Then, wrapped in a bathrobe, he placed her on the sofa.

Fu Yan thought he was going crazy again, and she couldn't push him away.

His hand was grasped by Huo Mingzheng, his palm sticky with sweat.

"Didn't you have dinner" Huo Mingzheng gazed at her face, which was pale and bloodless, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He clearly looked uncomfortable.

Fu Yan had spit out everything at Huo Gongguan and was then questioned by Old Master Huo. Afterward, he directly left Huo Gongguan and got into his car.

She was too weak to speak. Her low blood sugar had hit her hard, and Huo Mingzheng's relentless teasing had drained her even further. She felt like she couldn't muster any energy, and her vision was blurring in and out of darkness. She felt like she was going to collapse.

He probably annoyed her. Huo Mingzheng left her alone on the sofa, and she leaned against the armrest to catch her breath.

Dizziness washed over her like a wave, and she cursed Huo Mingzheng in her heart. She thought he was heartless, domineering, and cold-blooded.

She heard footsteps in a daze. Huo Mingzheng held something in his hand and helped her sit up, leaning against him, feeding her something.

Only when she tasted the sweetness in her mouth did she realize it was glucose.

She usually has low blood sugar, so she keeps candy in her bag and at work. Her home also has glucose on hand for emergencies.

"Why don't you say if you're uncomfortable" Huo Mingzheng put down the glucose and pinched her chin, lifting her face.

Fu Yan blinked her tired eyelids, tears brimming at the corners of her eyes, she whispered, "Give me...a chance to speak"

Ho Mingzheng pinched her chin and scrutinized her for a while, gradually regaining some color in his face and strength in his movements.

He sneered, "Was that just you calling me cold and heartless"

Fu Yan was slightly startled.

Ho Mingzheng let out a soft snort and tossed her onto the sofa, "Heartless thing."

Fu Yan leaned against the sofa for a while before finally calming down. Huo Mingzheng was no longer in the living room, or had already left.

She sat up with her knees hugged to her chest, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

For two years, she knew clearly that she had no place in Huo Mingzheng's heart. He didn't love her; he only had possessive desires for her.

As the heir to the Huo family, the number one family in Nancheng, he was a child of destiny, a star surrounded by admirers.

It wasn't that Huo Mingzheng loved her so much that he had to force her to take back her words about breaking up. It was just the nature of their relationship; he needed to say it himself for things to truly be over.

He is the dominant force in this relationship.ou the car, what excuse do you have now""No need to trouble Secretary Cao, I can go myself.""Fu Yan." Huo Mingzheng suddenly called her name. "Who said they couldn't play last night Is this what you m...
