mongst the throng of dark-clad figures like a solitary leaf adrift.She seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, staring incredulously at the man before her. Her eyes were red for just a fleeting sec...He walked step by step in front of Fu Yan, looking down at her with a cold face colder than the winter night.

"I want you now, will you"

What should have been tender and affectionate words, came out of his mouth as nothing but icy sarcasm.

She met Huo Mingzheng's gaze, as deep as an abyss. Her soul trembled uncontrollably, and she finally whispered, "Okay."

He Mengzheng single-handedly unbuttoned the clasp of his shawl, his emotionless gaze falling on her face, taking in every subtle shift of her expression.

The shawl slipped, and the wine-red vintage long dress, which had only been seen in its entirety in photographs, was completely revealed.

Round and fair shoulders, beneath a delicate collarbone lies a tantalizing expanse.

Her shoulder and neck lines were graceful and delicate, like jade carefully carved and polished, with a warm, lustrous glow.

While Huo Mingzheng had no heart to appreciate such beauty, his eyes grew colder and colder. His fingers hooked at the neckline of her bodice, and her body trembled from a slight shiver to full-blown shaking. A cold indifference played on his lips.

Finally, she suddenly pressed down on his hand, her chest heaving violently.

"Isn't that what we agreed on" the man said with a mocking tone.

She felt like her heart had been burned. "I didn't bring a condom."

Huo Mingzheng's icy aura erupted, his expression cold. "Don't wear it, don't do it"

"Aren't you afraid of getting pregnant with my child"

Huo Mingzheng's status is noble, a dazzling presence in the arena of fame and fortune. He has always been the object of women's affections, with women throwing themselves into his arms willingly. No woman would refuse to bear his child; motherhood elevates one's status.

But Fu Yan is not.

She had never intended to use her son to cling to Huo Mingzheng, let alone the fact that Huo Mingzheng wanted a child for another woman.

From that day until now, emotions have been building up in Fu Yan's heart, she could bear it no longer, "Yes, I am afraid of getting pregnant with your child."

She spoke with difficulty: "The medicine that Cao Fang gave me that day, was it a contraceptive"

She obviously felt Huo Mingzheng's fingers stiffen.

The answer is obvious.

Originally, the moment everything was revealed, she was so heartbroken, as if someone had dug a hole in her heart and stuffed it with ice.

She still insisted on asking, "Do you answer me"

His black eyes stared at her face, like a whirlpool that could swallow her whole.

She was silent for several seconds, her heart turning cold. She murmured, "I almost got tricked by you."

At that time, she didn't even have the slightest suspicion and almost became a fool played by him.

"I guessed you were trying to fake it, but I'm sorry to tell you, I later took two more real birth control pills."

Huo Mingzheng suddenly grabbed her shoulders, his fingers digging in, almost piercing her flesh. "What did you say!"

"You heard me right." The reflection of Huo Mingzheng's face in her eyes had shattered, leaving only fragments of light, piercing through reason and threatening to bring it to its breaking point.

The man's fingers trembled slightly, a barely perceptible tremor from holding back.

"I told you not to take that kind of medicine anymore, how dare you!"

"It's nothing to be afraid of, it's my own body. I don't care who cares."

"If you take medicine, won't it hurt your body"nty-five seconds."Huo Mingzheng's lips twitched under his mask.Fu Yan stood up. She turned and grasped the doorknob, just about to turn it, when Huo Mingzheng suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her...
