tly upon seeing Huo Mingzheng seated in the Taishi chair, "Where is the old master"At the Huo family, it was much easier to talk to the grandfather than to Huo Mingzheng.Huo Mingzheng took the teacup...Fu Yan's spine prickled with cold sweat. Sure enough, Old Master Huo wasn't so easy to fool.

"Go ahead and tell me."

A cold, mocking voice came from behind Huo Mingzheng, making Fu Yan's heart ache.

She said slowly, "It was when Shen Wei was hospitalized before. I caught a cold and happened to meet Fu Hanlin at the hospital. He took me to see a doctor and then sent me home. Afterward, I made him a cake out of gratitude, and we gradually became closer."

Ho Mingzheng's hand, which was rubbing the jade thumb ring, paused for a moment. The mockery at the corner of his mouth deepened.

Fu Yan said, word by word, "My feelings for Fu Hanlin were natural and grew organically. It was meant to be."

Ho Mingzheng sneered, "That's a beautiful thing indeed."

Fu Yan bit her lower lip.

Old Master Huo didn't intend to ask any further, he waved his hand and said, "Enough fun for now, all of you go back to your rooms!"

After the ruckus ended, Ho Ching-shu was probably the happiest of all.

Upon learning that Fu Jing and Fu Yan had no romantic relationship, she was happier than ever before.

Keyan Fu and Fu Hanlin are together. Fu Hanlin is Fu Jing's cousin, which means Keyan Fu will be his future sister-in-law. No matter how much he likes Keyan Fu, he can only keep it in his heart. As long as time is enough, she will eventually unravel his knot.

Second only to her is Song Qingshuang.

Before she even reached the front hall, she eagerly asked Fu Yan for something.

"Since you and Fu Hanlin have reached this point, has he said anything about when he'll marry you"

While others hadn't left yet, Du Xinrui even stopped and pretended to instruct the servant to pack her things. In reality, she was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Fu Yanzhi could only bite the bullet and say, "We haven't made that decision yet."

"Don't be naive, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They get bored with women quickly, so you better hold on tight while you can."

Fu Yan frowned, "Mom, please stop."

She knew her mother too well. Whenever her mother stepped out this door and went back to her social circle, the news of her and Fu Hanlin would quickly spread throughout Nancheng's elite.

When the time comes, don't say anything else. Once it reaches Fu Hanlin's ears, how will she be able to live her life afterwards

After leaving the front hall and returning to Biyuan, Fu Yan endured Song Qingshuang's nagging all the way, and finally broke down: "I have nothing to do with Fu Hanlin."

"Ah" Song Qing˪ didn't react immediately.

Fu Yan shut the door and explained, "I lied, it wasn't Fu Hanlin. You go out and don't spread rumors."

"No," Song Qing˪ was furious, "How dare you lie! It wasn't Fu Hanlin, it wasn't Fu Hanlin. Who was it then Who was that man!"

She tore open Fu Yan's collar, the bite marks on her neck were shocking to see. Fu Yan seemed like she had been stripped bare, she pushed Song Qingxiang away in a panic and ran out.

She didn't know how far she had run, her head was pounding, the world spinning, and she fell into someone's arms.

"Why lie"

A cold, emotionless voice came from above.

Fu Yan emerged from his arms. There was no one around. Huo Mingzheng pulled her into the tea room. At this moment, there was only the sound of water boiling in the room.

Her eyes welled up, "May I speak"

"As the head of the Huo family, they wouldn't dare touch you. But me They could crush me like an ant."

Ho Mingzheng wiped away the tears from her eyes with his thumb, "No." before uttering a word of thanks.Fu Hánlín had anticipated this. He reached out and pulled the coat off her shoulders, "It's a way to protect you, yes, but it's not just about avoiding the reporters....
