ed, so she didn't make many. It took him a while to coax her into bringing out a small dish.“Here comes the fish slice porridge and beef porridge, handsome one. As always, I've only put ginger water i...Ho Mingzheng sees Li Qin off abroad. Is he shielding Li Qin and trying to let her escape legal punishment

The appraisal report slipped from his hand and landed on the floor with a clatter.

Fu Yan was drained of all energy, collapsing to her knees. Her hands clutched at her chest, which felt as if it had been ripped open, the beating heart ripped out with agonizing force.

The words Huo Mingzheng had spoken to her echoed repeatedly in her mind, a tender whisper even in the depths of midnight dreams.

I like you.

From now on, I won't lie to you.

Go to sleep, I'll stay here.

Yo yo yo...

Tears streamed down her bloodshot eyes.

She's such a complete idiot!

She was fooled again, she was tricked by him once more.

That's Ji Lin! How could Huo Mingzheng deceive her!

......

When Fu Yan was going down the stairs, the nutritionist noticed that something was wrong with her mood. "Ms. Fu, are you alright"

Fu Yan shook her head, concealing the emotions in her eyes without a sound. "I'm hungry," she said faintly, "Do you have anything"

The nutritionist was overjoyed and quickly said, “Yes, I was just about to go upstairs to see if you were awake. Just a moment, I’ll go get it for you.”

Fu Yan sat on the dining chair, close to the floor-to-ceiling window. From here, she could see a corner of the backyard.

It rained for several days, but the sun came out today, and the rose leaves have become even more lush.

It's estimated that in less than a month, the first blush rose will bloom.

"Ms. Fu, please eat slowly."

The nutritionist's words pulled Fu Yan's thoughts back.

She looked at the delicate and appetizing snacks in front of her. The nutritionist changed up the recipes every day, but she had a poor appetite and ate very little each time.

Today she seemed to have a good appetite. The nutritionist saw that she ate seven or eight out of ten, which exceeded her expectations.

It seems Ms. Fu is really hungry.

The nutritionist thought that if Mr. Huo knew, he would be very happy.

Fu Yan hit a satisfied burp, she frowned, “I think I ate too much, I can't eat lunch anymore.”

The nutritionist looked at the weather outside. "It's a nice day with no wind and plenty of sunshine. Would you like to go for a walk with me to aid digestion"

Fu Yan wore a listless expression every day. She glanced out the window, her brows furrowed and then relaxed. With a sigh, she reluctantly said, "Okay."

Luo, the housekeeper, walked in carrying a cage. Seeing Fu Yan, he hurried over with a smile. "Miss Fu, this is the puppy Mr. Huo bought for you as a companion."

Saying that, he raised the cage in his hand. Inside, a little golden retriever was lying down asleep, looking very cute and obedient.

Fu Yan glanced coldly, "Leave it be."

She walked past Lao Guanjia and the nutritionist hurriedly explained, "Miss Fu feels a bit overfed, I'll accompany her for a walk."

"Luo the housekeeper was also delighted, "Good, basking in the sun is good for your health."

But he still kept a watchful eye, instructing the nutritionist, "Don't let Miss Fu wander around. Just let her walk around the garden."

The nutritionist nodded, she knew.

As they walked near the glass greenhouse, Fu Yan suddenly hugged his arm and said, "I feel a little cold."

"Shall we go inside" the nutritionist suggested.

Fu Yan shook her head. "I haven't seen the sun in days, it feels pretty good. Why don't you go upstairs and get me a shawl"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sneeze.

The nutritionist, seeing this, quickly said, “Then you sit in the flower room for a while, I’ll get a shawl right away.”

Fu Yan nodded and walked towards the glass greenhouse. However, her foot stopped on the stairs, and she glanced back at the nutritionist who had already turned the corner. She immediately retracted her foot.

She turned and hurried towards the wing, which housed the bodyguards and servants. Cao Fang and Cao Yuan lived there as well.

These days, she not only didn't see Huo Mingzheng, but also Cao Fang and Cao Yuan. However, she knew that the keys to the car garage in the manor were mainly in Luo Butler's hands, but Cao Fang and Cao Yuan also had some.

They couldn't possibly carry the car keys with them, they must be in their room.

Cao Fang and Cao Yuan lived on the first floor, making it convenient for Huo Mingzheng to arrive whenever he was called.

But their front door had a password lock.on wasn't fair, it was a shade darker than Huo Mingzheng's. It was healthy and neutral, with distinctly defined knuckles that gave his fingers a powerful look.She looked away and waited quietly.After...
