Chapter 67

he could feel the powerful beat of his heart through his clothes and flesh, driving her own wildly.The faster her heart beat, the more panicked she became, "Can you please let go of me"Huo Mingzheng's...Fu Yan was speechless, watching Shen Wei cry with tears streaming down her face like pear blossoms in the rain. Her anger turned to laughter, "If you want an Oscar statuette, you don't have to act so dramatically. Just tell me, and I can have one made for you."

"Fu Yan!" Huo Mingzheng coldly rebuked.

Fu Yan raised her eyes to look at the man. He had just taken a shower, and his scent was very fresh and clean, an entirely unfamiliar aura to Fu Yan.

She gave them a defiant look. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. You guys have fun acting."

Ho Mingzheng's footsteps shifted slightly, Shen Wei grasped his arm and pleaded, "Mingzheng, please don't scold her. It was me who overstepped boundaries. I wasn't even her sister-in-law yet, meddling in her personal affairs. She likes Fu Jing so much, I won't say anything about it anymore."

This hospital is located halfway up the mountain, with a quiet environment, perfect for convalescence. Whether Shen Wei was truly ill or not, Fu Yan knew very well.

She had a cold today. She took a pill before going out, and because she was worried about driving unsafely, she called a taxi and told it to wait for her outside the hospital. But she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, she was walking down the mountain with a bag in her hand. The mist was heavy on the hillside at mid-autumn, and when the wind blew, the chill was already piercing. She couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The sound of a car horn came from behind.

Ho Mingzheng sat in the back seat, holding a tablet computer to look at stock market analysis charts. The morning sunlight streamed in from one side of the car window, falling on his fair and slender fingers, like fine warm jade.

If Cao Fang had seen Fu Yan on the roadside, he would have reported it to Huo Ming. Unfortunately, Cao Yuan was a taciturn man and lacked the emotional intelligence for such things.

"Stop."

The man spoke in a low voice.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a man's cold and sharp profile. Fu Yan stood in the cold wind like a lonely rose in full bloom. Her features were stunningly beautiful. Against the backdrop of the dark green mountains behind her, there was a breathtaking beauty.

"If it's about Shen Wei, Mr. Huo, then we don't need to say any more."

Ho Mingzheng put down the tablet, "Get in the car."

"Mr. Huo went to the new district, I stayed in the old one, it's not on the way." Fu Yan looked elsewhere, her stubborn profile, her red nose from the cold wind.

Ho Mingzheng lifted his eyelids to look at her, reminding her kindly, "I remember you're going to discuss cooperation details with the Huo family today."

Fu Yan pursed her lips. A true hero doesn't suffer a loss right in front of them.

As soon as she got in the car, the warm air hit her, making every cell in her body swell. She unconsciously let out a breath and shivered uncontrollably.

She couldn't help but sneeze, her eyes becoming watery. She looked up and met Huo Mingzheng's serious gaze.

“Sorry, I caught a cold and dirtied Mr. Huo’s car.” The aftertaste of that liquor last night was really strong. She fell asleep on the couch as soon as she got home.

Saying that, she sneezed again.

"Did I say something"

I guess I know you've been giving me the cold shoulder, and saying nothing right now speaks volumes. Is there anything else that needs to be said

But Huo Mingzheng's face had turned even darker than before. She decided not to say anything more.

As the car arrived at the foot of the mountain, Huo Mingzheng spoke coldly, "Who gave you the guts to hit Shen Wei, Fu Jing"

It turns out he really came here to demand an explanation.

Fu Yan ignored the feeling of suffocation rising in her heart, "Since it's already happened and Mr. Huo wants to punish me, I will obey."

He stood up for Shen Wei.

Has he, Shen Wei, ever said anything about the harm he inflicted upon her

There is nothing.

She suddenly wondered if this road was even passable.

Huo Mingzheng was only interested in her body at best, while Shen Wei was his chosen marriage partner. If he wasn't fond of her, he wouldn't have agreed so easily.

"After work, come with me to apologize to her." Huo Mingzheng picked up his tablet again, his gaze fixed on the stock analysis chart, as if he had just casually said a word.

But it stirred up a storm in Fu Yan's heart. Her eyes trembled, and a sour feeling welled up in her eye sockets, "I don't want to."

The man's hand froze as he scrolled through his screen. She truly did like Fu Jing that much, didn't sheard and medical insurance card are still in her wallet. She's not sure if she dropped them there.After going upstairs, she unlocked the door with her fingerprint and pushed it open. The living room l...
