ome questions," Daniel clapped his hands, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth. "You asked so many just to stall for time, didn't you""Ah—" As soon as he...There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "Yes"

Huo Mingzheng watched as Fu Yan had finished washing her hands. She took out a paper towel from her bag, and he also walked over, holding his phone and washing his hands, then asked Fu Yan, "Can you give me one too"

Fu Yan remained motionless. Huo Mingzheng took her hand himself, picked up the tissue she had just used, and then casually threw it into the trash can.

As if only now remembering she was still on the phone, she told Huo Yuan, "Big brother, go eat quickly. If you get too thin from hunger, it'll be my fault."

Before hanging up the phone, Huo Yuan said again: "I have prepared a gift for you, but it might take some time to arrive."

"Big brother is thoughtful."

Ho Mingzheng hung up the phone first.

Even if Fu Yan didn't hear what Huo Yuan said, she could sense the undercurrent from Huo Mingzheng's words.

She also forgot when it started, that Huo Mingzheng was no longer as close to Huo Yuan as he used to be.

They used to be the closest brothers in the Huo Mansion.

She often heard people say that Huo Yuanshi was bound to take over the Huo Group and the position of patriarch sooner or later. Huo Mingzheng, being from the second branch, would certainly assist Huo Yuanshi in the future. With these two outstanding individuals at the helm, the Huo Group would undoubtedly flourish and be unrivaled.

When Huo Yuan knew of Huo Mingzheng's aspirations, he told those people, "A-Zheng can do whatever he likes. I will always support him. The Huo family and the Huo clan will be his strong backing."

It is said that when Huo Mingzheng applied to the military academy, Old Master Huo was furious. In the end, it was Huo Yuanshi who calmed him down, and for this, he even suffered Old Master Huo's wrath.

Míngmíng and he used to be such good brothers.

Now, the two of them seem to be in a state of disconnect. She noticed it during their last meeting at Huo Yuan's villa.

Could it really be that all this is just because Huo Mingzheng mistakenly thought she liked Huo Yuan back then, and Huo Yuan never even explained himself

If that's the case, it could only mean Huo Mingzheng unilaterally rejected Huo Yuanshi, and she could feel that Huo Yuanshi's attitude towards Huo Mingzheng was also different from before.

She walked out without a word, and Huo Mingzheng followed her. “I’ll send you off,” he said.

I drove.

He Mingzheng caught up with her steps, "Angry"

He grasped Fu Yan's arm, walked in front of her to block her way, and looked down at her eyes.

Fu Yan tried with all her might, but she couldn't pull her hand out. She could only answer him: "No."

Ho Ming looked at her quietly for a few seconds, "Qin Heng said that women say no when they mean yes. Are you angry because I tricked you into coming here, or because I just wanted to kiss you"

He didn't speak, and Fu Yan wanted to forget what had just happened.

After she came in, she also helped lower the temperature of his hands. It was obvious that she wasn't angry with him for tricking her into coming here. So there was only one explanation left.

Because Huo Mingzheng wanted to kiss her, she was angry.

Are you angry

At that moment, Fu Yan thought back to the time when she was with Huo Mingzheng. She had experienced something similar then. Although she had told herself countless times not to dwell on the past, she still found herself unable to extricate herself from her memories, blurring the lines between reality and recollection.

She is angry at herself.

He Mingzheng could clearly see the struggle in her eyes. His voice was soft, as if coaxing her, "You said you weren't angry, so you're not angry."

Fu Yan felt a tingling sensation on her scalp and hair. She turned around and strode out of the kitchen.

Ten minutes later, Fu Yan held the steering wheel, focusing on driving. Yu Guang sat in the passenger seat next to Huo Mingzheng.

The reason is that Cao Fang drove the car away.urn." Li Qin held the other person's hand. "Your hands are so cold.""I'm just nervous." The woman pulled her mask open a small gap and took several deep breaths."Don't be nervous, haven't you always w...
