nd marriage had nothing to do with me anymore.But I'm still not over him and keep thinking about him.It's truly time for this to end, Fu Yan. Don't let people see you like this.After getting off the c..."So funny" Huo Mingzheng's voice suddenly rang out above her head, and she immediately stopped laughing.

The man walked up to her side again at some point, and tossed a brand new pair of slippers by her feet. They were white, and the soles looked very soft.

She was taken aback, her back brushing against the man's trousers. In a flash, he and Qin Heng walked out of the examination room, and a nurse came in to apply medicine to her.

"I heard from Cao Fang that Fu Yan was almost bullied" Qin Heng leaned back in the office chair.

Ho Ming-ching lit a cigarette, "Be quiet."

"Your mouth can't get anything out, Cao Fang is more reliable, he's practically a walking camera, everything comes out! Hey, Fu Jing looks good, so protective of Fu Yan."

"Such a cliché," Huo Mingzheng tossed the lighter onto the table, "a trick to pacify little girls."

Qin Heng waved his hand dismissively: “When it comes to business, you’re the best. But when it comes to charming women, you have no idea. Someone like Fu Jing understands what girls want. If I were a woman, I’d be completely smitten with him.”

"I can send you to Thailand tonight." Huo Mingzheng glared at him coldly, "Fu Jing can wait for you."

"You're something else!" Qin Heng said speechless, "I was just making an analogy!"

He glanced at the silent Huo Mingzheng, yawned, and said, "You seem to care about her quite a bit"

Huo Mingzheng brushed off the ash, heard Wai Yan thanking the nurse outside, and extinguished his cigarette. "Let's go."

Fu Yan was helped up by the nurse. As soon as she looked up, Huo Mingzheng walked in front of her, extended his arm, and let her take it. Several pairs of eyes were staring at them, and she reluctantly reached out and took his arm.

"Thank you, second brother."

Ho Mingzheng looked down at her. Her eyes were determined, holding back a surge of something.

Back in the car, Huo Mingzheng didn't start it immediately. The private hospital was halfway up the mountain. A married man bringing his mistress to see a doctor, the place was secluded and well-equipped.

All was silent, and then the wind started up in the mountains late at night.

The man's voice was low. "At the hotel, I stopped you from hitting Shen Wei and you were angry with me"

"No." Her answer was too quick, clearly betraying her true feelings.

"To be honest."

"No."

A brief moment of silence.

Ho Mingzheng chuckled lightly, "There's no best choice. Between a future wife and a sister who spends all day trying to draw boundaries with me, who should I choose"

"The second brother chose right."

Huo Mingzheng grasped her chin, "You can joke around with Qin Heng, but you use this tone with me Fu Yan, look at the way you're acting like a little brat!"

"What do you want me to say, Second Brother Do you think if I ask you to choose my side, you'll automatically stand with me Don't be naive."

You better actually understand.

Fu Yan choked back a sob, a wave of grievance washing over her. She fought hard to hold it in, not wanting to reveal her vulnerability in front of Huo Mingzheng.

She took a deep breath, "If tonight's events were orchestrated by Shen Wei, or even intentionally lured me into a trap, would you still choose her"

"The man released her, "Where's the evidence"

Fu Yan blinked. She knew this would happen, she had no evidence, only Shen Wei's oral confession. She regretted not bringing her phone into the restroom to record it. But even if she had recorded it, would Huo Mingzheng believe her

No, he said, he chose his fiancée.

"I was just assuming."

Ho Mingzheng took out a cigarette from the pack and was about to light it when he saw her indifferent profile. She had always found it difficult to trust people, and this was the expression she wore when she guarded against others.

He tossed the cigarettes and lighter into the glove compartment, causing a clatter. He started the car and said coldly, "This doesn't happen."nd walked towards her.Fu Yanjie braced herself, and Huang Manager plopped down in the seat beside her.As soon as she made a move to get up, he grabbed her arm and pulled her back into her seat."Why su...
