n's tone was still cold.She felt Huo Mingzheng's hands stiffen as he hugged her, his face buried in the crook of her neck as he chuckled softly.Fu Yan slammed the car door shut, went around the front...Ho Mingzheng pursed his lips.

Zhong Yang asked curiously, "Fu family, which Fu family"

"There are several well-known Fu families in Nancheng, aren't there I know a few of them myself," Qi Ce said leisurely. "Fu Hanlin and his grandfather, Fu Yan, they eat together."

Jong Yang suddenly realized, "At Lord Huo's birthday banquet before, I seemed to have heard that Fu Yan and Fu Hanlin were in love. I didn't know if it was true or not, but now it seems like it's very likely."

“Stop talking nonsense.” Li Qin interrupted them.

"If you want to gossip, don't do it in my hospital room."

Hu Mingzheng's voice was as cold as ever, and perhaps because his body was still weak, it sounded a little broken.

"Sorry, Zhege," Zhong Yang immediately apologized, sitting up straight.

Ho Mingzheng put the tablet back on the bedside table, pulled open the drawer, took out a cigarette case, picked one out with his teeth and held it between his lips, his left hand pressed against the lighter. Perhaps because he wasn't used to using his left hand, he pressed several times but couldn't light the cigarette.

He stared at the lighter in his left hand, his profile becoming increasingly taut and cold.

Li Qin stepped forward and, seeing him lost in thought, said, "I'll help you."

The cigarette was lit, Huo Mingzheng took a puff, and then stubbed it out.

As evening approached and it was nearing quitting time, Fu Yan received a call from Cao Fang.

At that moment, she was on the phone with Song Qingshuang. Song Qingshuang had just learned about her near-accident last night and after a couple of words, Cao Fang's call came in. Her heart skipped a beat, her mind went blank, and many bad thoughts flooded her mind.

She hurriedly hung up Song Qing霜's phone and answered Cao Fang's.

"Miss Fu, I'm waiting for you in the underground parking lot of your company."

Fu Yan pinched her phone, only for a few seconds before it was soaked with cold sweat. She let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding, "Is something wrong"

"Mr. Huo asked me to pick you up."

......

The elevator went up to the top floor, a dry ward.

Fu Yan followed Cao Fang. She didn't know where Huo Mingzheng's ward was, but there were a lot of flowers and fruit baskets, as well as some expensive nutritional supplements piled up at the door of the room at the end of the corridor. She had a guess in her mind.

Of course, Cao Fang led her to the outside of that ward. "Miss Fu, please go in directly."

She gripped the icy metal doorknob, her fingers tightening slightly. She turned it and pushed the door open.

She walked in, and the door closed behind her.

Now the sky was completely dark, and the corridor lights were bright. Even the wards without lights didn't seem so dim.

She glanced at the bed in the middle. There was no bulge on it, Huo Mingzheng wasn't lying there.

She instinctively turned, a dark shadow looming before her. She collided with a solid chest.

The man let out a grunt, and she recognized his voice. She gasped, her face paling. "Did I hurt you"

She didn't know where she hit Huo Mingzheng, he was injured in the shoulder. She was tall enough that it must have been a direct impact.

She reached out and her hand was taken by the man. He pulled her forward, sending her crashing back into his arms.

She stared into Huo Mingzheng's eyes, as dark and lustrous as jade, in the dim light. His repressed yet startling words echoed in her mind once more.

Huo Mingzheng tightly grasped her hand, his voice cold. "Do you care"t's clear he has been waiting here for quite a while.Fu Yan's breath, held in her throat, suddenly escaped with a soft whoosh, her heart pounding wildly.She took a breath.Ho Mingzheng stubbed out his...
