used his name to hire an assassin to kill Fu Yan”Li Qin's spine turned cold, and a shiver ran up her from the soles of her feet.She let out a labored hum."Huo Mingzheng has already noticed something,...She squeezed her clammy palms, whispering, "I think I ate something bad. My stomach isn't feeling well."

"I'll go to the hospital for a check-up later."

"No need, I'm already afraid of going to the hospital every other day. I have some medicine from my doctor when I had a stomach ache before at work, just two pills will do."

"No." Huo Mingzheng pulled her hand and walked out, pressing her against the bed and looking down at her with an unquestionable tone, "If you don't go to the hospital, then I'll bring the doctor here."

Fu Yan clenched her fingers tightly, she absolutely couldn't call the doctor. Last time she pretended to have her period, she had fooled the doctor once. If she did it again, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get away with it so easily.

Just when she was at a loss, Lan Sao gently knocked on the door and said softly, "Mr. Huo, Miss Fu, breakfast is ready."

Fu Yan's eyes lit up, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Why don't we eat breakfast first I'll skip the doctor if I feel fine, okay I'm really scared of doctors." Fu Yan raised her head to look at Huo Mingzheng and spoke to him in a conciliatory tone.

With a soft tone, she hadn't spoken to him like this in a long time.

Huo Mingzheng's mind flashed back to some scenes from a few years ago. She had a fever and was sick, she insisted on holding on, and finally fainted in his study. He sent her to the hospital overnight and learned that she had been insisting on holding on because she was afraid of needles.

She is afraid of pain.

He tightened his thin lips and slowly loosened them, saying in a low voice, "Okay."

At the table, Huo Mingzheng sipped his coffee leisurely, his gaze fixed on Fu Yan's face. She was eating her chicken and rice porridge in small bites, her delicate pink lips moving up and down, giving her a peculiar kind of charm.

His gaze lingered for a moment, then he shifted his eyes away.

Actually, Fu Yan was afraid that she would eat too quickly and then vomit. If that happened, she would have to go to the hospital for sure.

On the bright side, my body has been behaving itself this time and hasn't caused any more trouble.

This can't go on forever. Last night, she kept by Huo Mingzheng's side and couldn't find a chance to ask about Ji Lin's progress. But Ji Lin definitely has her matter in mind. As long as he hasn't contacted her, it means things aren't settled yet.

As soon as she arrived at the company, Huo Mingzheng's phone call came in.

His deep voice through the receiver had a husky, magnetic quality. "Have you taken your medicine"

Fu Yan held her phone tightly, nervously taking a breath. "Just about to eat."

Ho Mingzheng let out an "um" and hung up the phone.

It felt like this call was just to make sure she was taking her medicine.

As soon as she settled into her office chair and let out a sigh of relief, her phone rang again. She jumped in fright, but when she saw the caller ID, it was Ji Lin.

......

This afternoon, a shareholder meeting is being held in the large conference room of the Huo Group. A secretary is taking minutes on the side.

Suddenly, the secretary covered her mouth and gagged.

In such a grand conference room, this voice was jarring and rude.

Some executives have already frowned in disapproval.

Ho Mingzheng slightly turned his eyes, Cao Fang got up and walked over to ask him in a low voice for a few words, then asked the secretary to go out first, he came to take meeting minutes.

The meeting is over.

Ho Mingzheng strode out of the conference room, Cao Fang following behind. As they passed the secretary's office, Ho Mingzheng paused, remembering Fu Yan's nausea this morning. She must have been feeling just as unwell.

"Are you sick"

The secretary was taken aback. Although Huo Mingzheng wasn't a harsh boss, he was naturally cold and rarely showed concern for his subordinates.

"Mr. Huo, I'm so sorry," the secretary stood up and apologized, "I'm pregnant, and the early pregnancy symptoms are quite severe. Rest assured, I won't affect my work."

Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy.

Huo Mingzheng's eyes flashed a gleam, he hummed in response without revealing anything, "Take care of yourself."

The secretary was pale with shock, "Thank you, Mr. Huo."

Back in the chairman's office, Huo Mingzheng sat on the large chair, his fingers lightly tapping on the black desk, the jade ring clicking with a crisp sound.

He pursed his thin lips and gazed at the calendar with a thoughtful expression, his eyes fixed on the date circled in red by him.

Cao Fang knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Huo, are you looking for me"

Huo Mingzheng's eyes were filled with a deep darkness, and he said coldly, "Call Lan Sao." opened it, letting out an "hmm" sound.The assistant turned and walked into the elevator.Qin Heng had his hands in his pockets, twirling the stick of a lollipop, his gaze fixed on Ji Qing's side profi...
