gzheng sneered. He scooped her up along with the blanket.Qin Heng's sleeping potion dosage wasn't too much or too little, enough for her to fall into a deep sleep and not easily wake up.He took the bl...After Huo Mingzheng left, Fu Yan sat listlessly on the ground, her hand clutching the hairpin. Her cold body trembled uncontrollably, and her face was so pale it was nearly transparent.

She had never seen Huo Mingzheng like this, crazy, obsessed, wanting to destroy everything.

It felt like piercing through her flesh and grasping at her soul, as if it wanted to tear her apart.

She was very clear that everything about her was under Huo Mingzheng's control, and she couldn't escape.

Lying in bed, she tossed and turned restlessly. She couldn't help but think about what Huo Mingzheng had said, giving her a day to explain herself at his family home. Adding to her sleepless night was the dull ache in her abdomen.

The next day, she woke up groggy. Her stomach didn't hurt anymore, but unlike usual, her sanitary pad was clean and dry, with no blood at all.

This month's period is a little off, but considering recent events, it's probably just temporary.

She decided to observe first and if it was really too abnormal, she would go to the hospital for a check-up.

Fu Yan simply ate breakfast and then lay back on the bed. She had barely slept all night, so she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed. She didn't wake up until the evening, but she still felt tired.

I muddled through the day, and only felt a little bit more energetic when I woke up the next morning.

Rushing and rushing, she arrived just in time for the meeting. After the meeting, General Manager Xiao kept her behind.

I thought Mr. Xiao was going to say that she was late for work, but Mr. Xiao said something else.

"There's a dinner party tonight, some big names in the industry will be there. Go and make some connections."

Fu Yan was surprised, "This quota should be yours."

Director Xiao smiled helplessly, "My family is urging me to prepare for a baby, so I can't drink anymore."

Trying to conceive...

Fu Yan suddenly realized, the two of them had a better relationship than other colleagues. She gave him an encouraging look and said, "Good luck."

"Thanks for the kind words," said General Xiao with a smile.

Fu Yan returned to the office, sat down in her chair, picked up her phone, and found her university classmate's WeChat.

Ironically, the host of tonight's business dinner was her classmate's company. Fu Yan wanted to ask her for a list of contacts.

Actually, there's a low chance he'll attend, but she still wants to confirm.

My classmate is reliable and quickly sent me a list.

She first looked at the front row, but she didn't see Huo Mingzheng's name.

She let out a sigh of relief.

He also knows that simply avoiding the situation isn't a solution, and Huo Mingzheng's inaction doesn't mean he's truly turning a blind eye to it.

But she didn't want to explain anything to the Huo family at this juncture, at least not for another two days. As Fu Hanlin said, it takes time to settle things down and remove Mr. Huo's suspicion.

Now, if I can avoid meeting Huo Mingzheng, I won't meet him.

After work, Fu Yan drove to the organizer's location at the Huadong Road Peace Hotel.

There are only five of them in the whole country. They are luxurious and imposing, and ordinary people can't afford to enter even if they have money. They only receive dignitaries.

The estate in Yanjing City belongs to the Li family.

The Li and Huo families were distantly related, having been connected for three generations or more. Fu Yan had once met the current head of the Li family, Li Dongbai. He was a humorous, stylish, and gallant gentleman. It was said that when he got married, single women in Beijing complained endlessly.

Fu Yan handed up the invitation and, guided by a waiter, took the elevator to the twelfth floor main banquet hall.

Tonight, all the attendees at the dinner are high-level executives from the company. They are all well-dressed and presentable. Fu Yan introduced herself, handed out her business cards, and everyone was very polite and courteous, with no teasing or rudeness whatsoever.

The dinner banquet was arranged at table number three, located to the right and below table number one.incoln was parked on the roadside. A man in a black suit got out of the car. The man was tall and straight, his long legs encased in tailored trousers, striding with a steady and powerful gait.The man...
