e day before yesterday, it must have dropped somewhere in the room.She climbed the spiral staircase, Luna following behind her.LUNA tried hard to remember, she made a comparison with her hands, "Was i...The house wasn't completely dark. Light streamed in from outside, illuminating the dim space where Huo Mingzheng sat on the sofa.

Fu Yan used to often curl up in this spot, browsing her phone, munching on snacks, and watching movies.

He hummed in response and didn't say anything else.

Qin Heng hung up the phone and leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest.

It has been ten days since Fu Yan left this house, but she lived here for so long that traces and scents of her life are everywhere.

His heart, which had been raging and turbulent, gradually calmed down.

Huo Mingzheng opened his eyes again, the redness in his eyes had subsided considerably, and outside, the sky was beginning to lighten.

From eleven thirty at night to five thirty in the morning, a full six hours.

He got up and went to Fu Yan's bedroom. He opened the closet, and inside was his clothes, a whole set of them.

He stepped into the bathroom, just turned on the shower, and his gaze fell upon the trash can next to the toilet outside the glass partition. The movements in his hands came to a halt.

The trash can was spotless, with only a white thing about a few centimeters long inside.

Huo Mingzheng stood still, trying to identify the source of the pain. Two crimson lines stabbed at his eyes, causing him intense agony.

A pregnancy test.

This should have been Fu Yan's self-measured blood test the night before her New Year's Day holiday, she casually threw it in the trash can. The next day she went to Huo's house for a blood draw, and afterwards some unpleasant things happened.

Fu Yan never came back, and didn't have time to take out the trash.

Those two crimson lines have always been there, indelible.

He closed his eyes, squeezed them tight, and then flung cold water over his face. With a roar, he punched the icy wall, " Huo Mingzheng, you bastard!"

......

A few days later, as it neared quitting time, Old Master Huo personally called Huo Mingzheng and asked him to return to the old residence for dinner.

Cao Fang reminds, today is the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Every month at this time, the Huo family goes back to their ancestral home, Huo Gong Guan, to spend a night there.

When Huo Mingzheng returned to the Huo Manor, dinner was already prepared. Because he was the head of the family, no one else could eat until he arrived.

Old Master Huo said meaningfully, “Azheng has been too busy lately, he must be working hard.”

"That's just how it is at the end of the year, Grandpa isn't oblivious to that." Huo Mingzheng replied with a colorless sentence, without any trace of emotion, just like he always had.

"Grandfather is worried that you'll overwork yourself and damage your health. You were injured before and your energy has been depleted, don't think that just because you're young, you shouldn't take things seriously. Delegate tasks to those under you, don't try to do everything yourself."

Ho Mingzheng smiled ambiguously, "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa."

After dinner, Huo Mingzheng stood in the shelter of a doorway and lit a cigarette.

Ho Jingxu couldn't stand staying in confinement for long, and she came out to move around a few days early. Seeing Huo Mingzheng standing alone, she tightened her shawl and walked over.

"Second Brother, I heard that Fu Yan and Song Qing霜 really left Nancheng"

Huo Jing's face was still not very good, but when she talked about this topic, her eyebrows danced, with a hint of schadenfreude.

Huo Mingzheng flicked the lighter, squinting coldly and saying, " Huo Jingshu, no wonder Fu Jing doesn't like you. You breaking your engagement with him is entirely your own doing."

This was too harsh for Huo Jingshu. Her eyes immediately reddened, "Second brother, how could you..."

Huo Mingzheng turned around, leaving only his back for her.

Huo Mingzheng didn't stay at the Huo family residence for a night. He had to go to work tomorrow, and the Jinling mansion was closer to the Huo Group.

He has been working overtime recently, and his sleep hasn't been good. Old Master Huo understands he is working hard, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Just returned to the Jinling mansion, Luo Shu stepped forward to open the door, "Mr. Huo, Dr. Qin came for a while."

Huo Mingzheng's expression faltered slightly. He walked into the room and saw not only Qin Heng but also a young and beautiful woman beside him.ing Mansion is closer to the airport than your other residences, so you can rest a bit.""Let's go to Jing Sheng Garden," Huo Mingzheng leaned back in his chair.Cao frowned, "The distance to both Jing...
