od."She looked at the man in the mirror, but he avoided her gaze. She took off her hairpin and turned to see him taking a simpler wooden hairpin with a pearl on top from the shelf.Fu Yan was being led...He Mingzheng seemed to have noticed that Fu Yan had been different lately.

I can't quite put my finger on what's different, but there's a certain radiance about them that is very comforting. Even when they're sharp-tongued, there isn't much aggression to it.

And at such close proximity, her skin looked even more delicate and supple than before, moist and smooth.

"Want to leave the Huo family again" His voice was low and pleasant, but his expression was cold.

Fu Yan retreated slightly, also pulling her legs back, lowering her head so her eyes were hidden. "The Huo family isn't my home."

"So you're sending your resume to companies out of province, is that a preparation to leave the Huo family"

Ho Mingzheng's single sentence was like a thunderbolt striking the ground.

Fù Yān was so startled that she nearly shattered into pieces, her eyes wide with shock. "How did you know"

She realized that Li Qin might have found out about her sending out resumes in another province through Huo Mingzheng.

"As expected," the man chuckled softly.

"When did you find out" Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat. "That's why I never received a reply, you were the one who interfered!"

Don't doubt it, that's definitely the case.

This is the style of Huo Mingzheng.

He was domineering and willful, disregarding her wishes and feelings.

He tightened his grip on her nape, pulling her into his arms. "As long as I have a say, none of them dare to hire you. Don't even dream about leaving the Huo family or my side."

"Why" Fu Yan asked him painfully, "Why won't you let me go"

Huo Mingzheng kissed the corner of her eye, his voice soft and firm, "Because you are mine, all mine."

She couldn't stop her eyes from turning red, "Was this a trap set by Lu Jingmao"

Huo Mingzheng's eyes narrowed slightly, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see the true emotions in his eyes. "What did he tell you"

"Do you dare to do it"

Huo Mingzheng's thin lips parted slightly, "Yes, it was me."

Fu Yan frowned, a sharp pain constricting her chest.

She suddenly pushed Huo Mingzheng away.

"Alas, the man is like a copper wall and an iron gate; she can't budge him at all. "You want to use Lu Jingmo's affair to control me, prevent me from taking birth control pills, you want a child not for Li Qin but to control me, to keep me by your side tightly, isn't that right"

Huo Mingzheng gazed into her eyes, his gaze turbulent. "Yes."

She was almost suffocating, thinking of the child in her belly. It was Huo Mingzheng who held her hostage, using it as leverage. He was supposed to marry Li Qin, and she was destined to be a shadow, unseen by the world.

She would never allow her child to be a kept secret, an illegitimate child hidden from the world!

Looking at the man she had once adored, with his deep-set eyes, straight nose, and perfectly sculpted features, even the scar on his lip seemed to radiate a potent masculine aura.

And at this moment, she felt a bone-chilling cold unlike anything she had ever experienced before, her voice trembling as she spoke each word, "Don't be delusional. I won't let you get your way!"

"Yanyan," Huo Mingzheng's thumb rubbed gently against the tender flesh behind her ear, his low voice a husky murmur like the devil, "Even without a child, you can't escape my grasp."

Fu Yan's body trembled uncontrollably, her soul vibrating with it.

The car stopped outside Huo Gongguan. Huo Mingzheng let go of her, returning to his usual aloof and superior demeanor as the head of the family.h a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "If you want to eat it, just come to the house often. I'll make it for you. Girls shouldn't go into the kitchen,"Fu Yan is not a naive and innocent person. Althoug...
