ld trust her life to Ji Lin.Ji Lin gave her to Fu Jing, explaining that he must be a trustworthy and upright person.Without hesitation, Fu Yan got into his car and told him her home address.The car sl...The next day, when Fu Yan passed through the front hall, Huo Jing and Fu Jing happened to come out.

Huo Jingshu had always liked Fu Jing. Though she couldn't have him, now that they were finally engaged, last night's argument didn't matter much. When Fu Jing chased after her, she immediately forgave him.

Who would dare to offend Fu Jing's mood.

Fu Jing had been up all night, his mind consumed by thoughts of Fu Yan. Now that he saw her, his gaze was restrained as it fell upon her, his hand at his side suddenly clenched into a fist.

Noticing his tension, Huo JingShu hugged his arm tightly.

She suppressed her emotions, reminding him in a hushed voice, "You're my fiancé now. She has nothing to do with you anymore."

Fu Jing bit her lip, her eyes reddened with distress. All her anger was directed at Fu Yan, "Why did you have to stay at the old house last night There was no reason for it!"

If a person had predictive abilities, Fu Yan last night would definitely not have stayed at the old house. Even if she hadn't come out to see Fu Jing, standing outside the courtyard all night would have made her subject to gossip.

"Because she's a member of the Huo family, she can just live there."

At the sound, Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Ho Mingzheng handed the document to Cao Fang, strode over with long legs, and stopped at a distance from Fu Yan not too close or too far away, and reprimanded Huo Jingshu.

"You just said you've grown up last night, but today you showed your true colors again, didn't you"

The faint scent of sandalwood on the man was from an incense he burned every night. Huo Mingzheng had insomnia, a lingering ailment from his kidnapping as a teenager.

Fu Yan was familiar with this scent; even from across half a person's distance, she could smell it.

How many nights have I been haunted by this breath, entangled and controlled by it.

Ho Jing Shu feared Ho Ming Zheng the most, but when Ho Ming Zheng lectured her in front of Fu Jing, she was humiliated. She couldn't stand being put down like this in front of Fu Jing and felt incredibly indignant. "Second Brother, you don't know what Fu Yan did last night..."

"Huo Jingshu!" Fu Jing interrupted her coldly. There were servants and Huo family members coming and going in the front hall, some already standing at a distance watching. He didn't want to give others a chance to talk about him.

He shook off Huo Jing's hand.

"I'm going to work now."

He strode out, Huo Jingshu glared fiercely at Fu Yan, and hurriedly trotted after him.

"Fu Jing, wait for me!"

Ho Jing-Shu's voice gradually faded away.

Ho Mingzheng casually scanned the surroundings, feigning busyness while actually eavesdropping on the gossip of the servants. He said in a cold voice, "Are you all very idle"

A maid, pretending to sweep the floor, was startled and accidentally poked the butler on the head with her broom handle, knocking his wig off.

"Oh! Butler, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just trying to help you pick up..."

The housekeeper was enraged, her face turning the color of a pig's liver.

Fu Yan pursed her lips, silently averting her gaze. She silently recited a mantra for calmness in her heart, but she couldn't bear it any longer. With a stifled giggle, she covered her mouth and snickered.

Ho Mingzheng lowered his eyes to look at her, his voice low and resonant: "Is that funny"

Fu Yan tightly covered her mouth, laughing until tears streamed down her face. She looked up at him, her eyes glistening with moisture, reminding him of the passionate entanglement they had shared in the artificial mountain last night. His gaze gradually deepened, and his voice softened involuntarily.

"It was a terribly noisy morning, disrupting the peace of the household. That's quite enough."

Fu Yan secretly wiped away her tears and whispered, "I'm caught in the crossfire even while lying down."

Weren't you the one who went to see him last night

He's still dwelling on this.

She pretended not to understand, "Second brother, you're going to be late for work."

This "Second Brother" is completely different from the two "Second Brothers" he called out last night in a low voice, asking him to leave quickly.

Ho Mingzheng walked out the door with a composed face.

Fu Yan walked outside. The morning mist shrouded everything, and the damp cold air sent chills down her spine. Huo Mingzheng's figure was hazy in the distance. After a while, he got into the car.

Cao Fang walked over and handed her a car key, "This car is not often driven by Mr. Huo, you can drive it first."

"I don't need to," Fu Yan refused Huo Mingzheng's car. He didn't usually drive, his cars were at least worth a million, too flashy.

Cao Fang knew she would refuse, so he began to appeal to her emotions and reason.

"You didn't drive here again, and you have to take three buses to get to the old district for work. The subway isn't convenient here either, and taxis are also a matter of luck. You took a day off yesterday, it wouldn't be good if you were late again, right"

Fu Yan hesitated a little after what he said.

Cao Fang directly hit him with a strong dose of medicine, "You know Huo's temper, he won't be able to wait any longer. Once he gets impatient, he'll just take you onto the car. By then, with so many eyes watching, wouldn't you rather not" and the surroundings are shrouded in mist. There is an eerie silence, not even a rustle of grass from the wind."Mr. Huo, what's wrong"Huo Mingzheng stood in the porch, and suddenly a cold wind blew o...
