and in so much pain that she was about to cry.Who knew Huo Jing's usually calm face turned grim, as she angrily rebuked, "I dislike Fu Yan, but I never intended to treat her like this. Did you expect...After the hostess finished speaking, she felt embarrassed, "He was very polite today. He didn't bring many people, and he was quite polite to me."

He unconsciously glanced at the two bowls of unfinished claypot congee on the table. One bowl lacked cilantro and scallions.

She lowered her eyes, a shadow falling in them, and took Xiaohua's hand and walked out. "I'll still treat you to barbecue."

Xia Xia frowned upon hearing about barbecue, "I'm so afraid of getting oral ulcers."

Xia Xia's complaining voice sounded particularly distinct in the narrow alley.

Suddenly, a strong hand pressed down on Fu Yan's shoulders from behind. Fu Yan was on high alert, but the hand's strength pushed her backward, preventing her from turning around.

His uniquely masculine, cold and low voice flowed into her ears, "I'll be there soon. Go back to the shop and eat."

Xiao Xia suddenly turned her head and looked at the tall and straight man standing behind Fu Yan. She widened her eyes and stammered, "Ho... Huo Zong..."

It's only been a month since they last saw each other, but she felt that Mr. Huo had lost a lot of weight.

Maybe she has a filter on him, but I feel like this Mr. Huo is more charming and composed than before.

Even the aura emanating from Lian's body had a subtle shift compared to before.

I can't pinpoint exactly where it changed, but it just feels more tasteful now.

But before that, President Huo had asked her to conceal the fact that Ji Lin was injured from Fan Yin. She still held a grudge about it, and coupled with the fact that he had imprisoned Fan Yin before, she subconsciously grabbed Fan Yin's arm, lowered her head, and put her hand into the pocket of her down jacket, opening her phone WeChat.

The cold wind whipped up her long hair, constantly brushing against his back.

Fu Yan pursed her lips, her expression unreadable in the dim alley. She shrugged, and Huo Mingzheng's hand loosened its grip.

"Mr. Huo, didn't you say that you wouldn't appear before me again" Fu Yan's voice mixed with the cold wind, sounding especially chilling.

After she finished speaking, she sneezed.

Huo Mingzheng moved to the side without a word, blocking the cold wind. The moment he let go, his fingertips accidentally brushed against Fu Yan's hair, and the fingers hanging by his side rubbed repeatedly. He explained, "It was just a coincidence."

Nanshen said it wasn't small, you could even find it in such a remote alleyway. That was really quite a coincidence.

However, before she could speak, Huo Mingzheng strode past her, leaving only a thin back for her to see.

He was wearing a scarf around his neck.

Fu Yan instantly recognized it; it was the one she had woven for him back then.

He disappeared from that end of the alley. Fu Yancai came back to her senses as Xia reminded her that her phone was ringing.

She took out her phone and saw that it was Fu Hanlin calling. She picked up immediately.

A man's steady, low voice came from the phone, "I'll be there soon, just wait for me."

As Deng Fu and Xiao Xia walked out of the alley, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked in an inconspicuous spot at the corner of the street.

Xia Xia excitedly grabbed Fu Yan's hand and said, "Sister Yan, President Fu came so fast."

This person really has a special place in your heart.

"If you've seen something, you have to speak up. Didn't you send him your location"

“You discovered all this” Xiaoxiao gave a mischievous smile, she linked her arm with Fu Yan’s as they walked past, her voice still shaken. “I was just afraid that President Huo would take you away again. Luckily he left first, otherwise if I didn't protect you well, President Fu would fire me!”

Fu Yanke was truly impressed by her imagination, "He's not someone who doesn't distinguish between public and private."

"That's not necessarily true. Although Mr. Fu is currently the CEO of Fu Corporation and doesn't have time to manage us small departments, your case is an exception."rom the cold.Suddenly, the door to the detention room opened, and a figure was reflected on the wall, tall and lanky.She stiffened, her back to the door."I told you never to show your face in front of...
