Chapter 33

rpose of bringing her food.Back home, Fu Yan opened the lunch box. It was insulated and contained steamed rice rolls, Chaoshan braised dishes, and 馬蹄糕 (a type of sweet sticky rice cake).At the very bo...Fu Yan held her phone and said nothing.

With a snap, the lighter's lid was snapped shut. 。Ho Mingzheng's gaze swept across the brightly lit phone screen, "Fu Jing" He slowly exhaled a plume of smoke, his hand gripping the doorknob. 。"not " 。Fu Yan immediately turned around and grabbed his sleeve, saying anxiously, "It's not Fu Jing, don't cause him trouble." 。He loosened his grip on the doorknob, and with a click, she realized he had only shut the door that was already covering it. 。The man lowered his head to look at her hand, which was gripping tightly, unconsciously tense to the degree that her fingers had turned white. 。For Fu Jing 。His voice was firm that day, echoing in my mind — "I like her". 。"Why am I causing him trouble" Huo Mingzheng lowered his head, looking into her eyes, waiting for her answer. 。Fu Yan loosened his arms, letting them hang by her sides, her fingers clenched. 。"Hmm" Huo Mingzheng pinched her chin, forcing her to look up. She had been drinking, her face flushed a rosy hue against the backdrop of red lanterns and bustling crowds, a delicate beauty amidst the revelry. Countless men were staring at her... 。"

“So protective of him”

“Not

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!。"Fu Yan blurted out" 。

"What's that"

Fu Yan felt that Huo Mingzheng's patience tonight was exceptional. His relentless questioning, refusing to let up until he got an answer, left her feeling intimidated. A strong sense of pressure washed over her.

At this time, Fu Yan's phone rang again, still a string of unfamiliar numbers. Fu Yan frowned and hung up the phone. 。

Huo Mingzheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Don't leave tonight until you make it clear."

The man's tone was threatening. 。"It's a harassing call" 。Fu Yan confessed to him. 。Two minutes later, Huo Mingzheng took out his phone and called Cao Fang with a gloomy face. 。

Fu Yan, taking advantage of his words, twisted the doorknob to go out, but he grabbed her arm with one hand. He ordered Cao Fang something while pressing her against the door.

"Who's used to your bad habits" Cao Fang on the phone was taken aback, "President Huo""It's fine, go ahead and handle it." 。Huo Mingzheng hung up the phone. 。He let go of Fu Yan, “I’ll wait for you outside.” 。She hurriedly said, "My friend had too much to drink. I'm not comfortable leaving her to go home alone." 。"So" Huo Mingzheng's expression was cold. 。Fu Yan knew that Huo Mingzheng said one and did the other. She dared to say no, and Huo Mingzheng dared to grab her in public and put her in a car. She didn't dare to think about what would happen then. 。But Xia's safety she couldn't ignore, "You have someone send her back" 。 Huo Mingzheng silently looked at her for a while, snorted coldly, and turned the doorknob and walked out. 。In the car, Huo Mingzheng unbuttoned his cufflinks. Cao Fang handed him a tablet, "Mr. Huo, this is the surveillance footage from the bar passage. I've extracted the clips where Miss Fu appeared." 。"Well, 。Huo Mingzheng took the tablet and clicked play. 。

A moment later, he dropped the tablet.

The driver, Cao Fang, was terrified. He broke out in a cold sweat.

Fu Yan helped Xiaoxia up from the sofa, and a tall man in a black suit stood beside her to help. "Ms. Fu," 。When Fu Yan turned her head to see his face, she was taken aback for a moment before remembering that he was Cao Yuan, the twin brother of Cao Fang. 。Just now, she thought it was Cao Fang for a moment, but Cao Fang is smooth-talking and sometimes speaks with a smile, while Cao Yuan always looks serious and frugal with his words. They are distinguishable. 。I heard that he was called Cao Yuan before, and his name didn't match his tough image. He later changed it to Cao Yuan. 。Fu Yan knew that Huo Mingzheng had sent him back to send Xiaoxiao. 。Thank you. 。“heir companions and greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Huo."Ho Mingzheng was naturally indifferent, even to familiar people he was not enthusiastic and still stingy with his words.He simply replied with a...
