t he had been seen through, but he couldn't just admit it.I can pretend I didn't hear what you said before, but I swear, this is your last chance to say it again.This could be considered a step back b...The water droplets splashing just now slid down from Fu Yan's cheeks one by one. Her heart skipped a beat. At such close proximity, she could smell the faint, mellow fragrance on him.

"Are you drinking"

Ho Mingzheng raised his other hand, his warm and moist fingertips gently wiping her face. "Don't doubt again if I've been drinking fake wine, the wine isn't fake, and neither are my words."

These words had always been hidden in his heart. Qin Heng said he didn't have a mouth, even if a cooked platypus was reborn, he would accept it.

The only thing he couldn't accept was that she had completely left his world.

Then Fu Yan turned her head to look elsewhere.

In the hot spring pool, one could only hear the gurgling sound of circulating water from the artificial mountainside. And she could feel Huo Mingzheng's powerful heartbeat accelerating.

She took a step back, but Huo Mingzheng tightened his grip on her slender waist.

There's a kind of gentle domineering mixed into his strength, not painful, but it makes her feel uneasy all over.

Even though she knew their relationship wasn't what it used to be, the suppressed flutter in her chest, the hope she thought had died long ago, flared like a wildfire, burning brighter with every passing moment.

She looked into Huo Mingzheng's eyes, seeing the seriousness and honesty there. She knew he wanted a definite answer from her.

What's the answer then

Does he want to be the only one in her heart

But when was he ever not her only one, the only person she had ever loved.

Ho Mingzheng looked at her eyes, which were reddening inch by inch, and held her face. "I won't say any more."

His face was only an inch away from Fu Yan's, his gaze fixed on her red lips. His eyes darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and the hand that wiped the water droplets from her face slid down, his thumb gently brushing over her red lips.

Do you like roses

Ho Mingzheng knew she was uncomfortable, so he changed the subject to keep her attention and let her soak in the pool for a while longer.

Dr. Cheng said that she had a cold constitution and that soaking in a hot spring would be most suitable for her. This large pool, he even had people add some medicinal herbs to it, which would be beneficial for her health.

Fu Yan frowned, "I don't see any problem."

"

Xiaoxi said you kept the card in a drawer.

"

"Fu Yan paid homage to..."

How could she have forgotten that Xiaoxi was Huo Mingzheng's eyeliner She remembered that Xiaoxi had been standing in the office, watching her put down the card before leaving.

She said, "It was just something I put down casually, not a treasured possession."

How could she not have known before, Huo Mingzheng would even add drama to himself, even adding a play of cards.

"You say 'let it go' when you let it go," Huo Mingzheng replied with a grunt.

Fu Yan's brows furrowed even deeper. She just wanted to ask Huo Mingzheng if he could speak normally, when she felt his hand cupping hot spring water and pouring it onto her shoulders, warming her chilled ones.

"Hmm" Huo Mingzheng's gaze never left her red lips, his eyes dark and hot. "What do you want to ask"

"It's nothing, can you let me go I can stand on my own." Fu Yan felt Huo Mingzheng's invisible pressure. In the past, the two of them were particularly in sync in that aspect. She knew exactly what kind of passion he had.

At this moment, his eyes were clearly restrained.

She has no idea how restrained Ho Mingzheng is now.fiercer the oppression becomes, and the backlash will be the most severe.Qin Heng worried that if this continued, he wouldn't be able to hold on."I'll wait for her to come out," he said.After half an...
