with gray tiles, white walls, balustrades, and flying eaves. At night, under the water-like moonlight, it becomes even more unique and picturesque, exuding a tranquil and elegant charm that money can...I don't like her, but I treat her like family.

Give her a sense of belonging.

When Fu Yan heard the long-lost yet familiar address, she fixed her gaze on Huo Mingzheng's face. Her vacant eyes gradually brightened, and tears welled up in her eye sockets.

Like she was grasping at a life raft, she threw herself into his arms. Her body, icy cold, trembled uncontrollably. Her face was pale, devoid of any color, and her breathing was rapid and erratic. Her fingers clutched tightly at the man's sleeve.

Tears rolled into the slightly open collar, searing into the man's flesh.

Huo Mingzheng tightened his grip, and Fu Yan fainted.

Huo Mingzheng picked up Fu Yan, kicked the unlocked door open with one foot, and shouted, “Call Qin Heng!”

Qin Heng arrived half an hour later, Fu Yan was still unconscious. He checked her vitals and they were all normal.

Before coming in, he didn't see what was at the entrance of Fu Yanjia's house. Cao Fang simply told him a few words.

Qin Heng spat, "What a scoundrel!"

No wonder Fu Yan fainted from fright, that painting is so terrifying even men would be scared out of their wits, let alone a delicate young woman.

He glanced at Huo Mingzheng sitting beside Fu Yan's bed. The man held the woman's hand in his.

Actually, even when Fu Yan was drunk and unconscious, he didn't let go. Huo Mingzheng couldn't pull away, so he just let her hold on.

He felt out of place in this situation, "I'm not really doing anything here, I'll be going now."

Just as he reached the door of Fu Yan's room, he stopped and spoke seriously.

You've always been the calmest one among us brothers. You know what you can and can't do, so I won't say much more. But her... have you thought about whether she can handle it

To his question, Huo Mingzheng remained silent.

He sighed inwardly, then closed the door.

Fu Yan woke up when Qin Heng said that. She didn't open her eyes because she wanted to hear what Huo Mingzheng had to say.

Unfortunately, she didn't hear anything.

She's never been within Ho Mingzheng's consideration.

"Awake"

A man's voice came from above her head.

She gave a weak little hum.

Her complexion was still very pale, making any hint of flesh on her face invisible. She looked like a fragile object, easily broken by the slightest touch.

"Get some rest, I've already arranged for someone to take care of your mother at the hospital." Huo Mingzheng loosened his grip on her hand and stood up.

Standing by the bed, she smoothed out the wrinkles in his shirt.

“Was it someone from the Chen family who did this” Her voice was dry and raspy.

Ho Mingzheng frowned, "These don't concern you, just rest well."

Fù Yān held the phone tightly under the quilt. It was a text message from Shen Wei just now — 【Surprised】

She suddenly grabbed Huo Mingzheng's hand, tears swirling in her eyes, her voice hoarse and trembling, "I'm scared. Can you stay with me"

Huo Mingzheng paused, staring at her with unfathomable eyes that seemed to churn like waves for a moment, swirling with layers of danger.

At that glance, Fu Yan was struck with a powerful and captivating feeling.

She thought about how to get revenge on Shen Wei.

Shen Wei is the eldest daughter of the Shen family and the future daughter-in-law of the Huo family. She has everything she wants, wind and rain at her command.

Her only wish was to marry Huo Mingzheng. So let her seek what she desires and be denied, if she cannot marry Huo Mingzheng.er bag.“This is what I found on the floor of the room.
