welled up.Huo Mingzheng's phone on the coffee table rang. Fu Yan saw the caller ID: Li Qin.She held her breath for a moment and looked away.In the fading light, Huo Mingzheng leaned forward, taking ou..."Huh" the nanny hesitated.

Li Qin shouted in a harsh voice, "Throw it away! Didn't you hear me"

The nanny immediately snapped out of her daze, startled by her icy stare. She clutched the blanket and pillow and hurriedly said, "Yes."

......

Fu Hanlin's car was parked downstairs at Fu Yan's house.

Fu Yan fell asleep halfway through. Her brow was still furrowed, perhaps from a nightmare or simply an unsettled heart.

The car stopped, and she didn't wake up.

Outside, the wind howled and the faint glow of dawn was just beginning to break. Fu Hanlin gazed at her with intense eyes, then pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his box and got out of the car.

He didn't walk far, leaning against the car door, pulling out a cigarette. The wind made the lighter's flame flicker, and he held it with one hand, puffing once before finally lighting the cigarette.

Last night was Christmas Eve. The streets were decorated with colorful lights. Opposite Fu Hanlin was a 24-hour pharmacy, its glass window adorned with reindeer and bells, and colorful garlands wrapped around the door.

Someone pushed open the door, and you could faintly hear Christmas carols.

Fu Hanlin walked forward a few steps, less than five meters away from the car.

He stood outside the security booth and knocked on the window. The security guard yawned and pulled the window open from inside, "What is it"

When the other person saw Fu Hanlin wearing fine clothes and a diamond watch, they guessed he was wealthy and became more polite. "Is there something I can do for you" they asked.

Fu Hanlin took out a few bills from his wallet. "Please go to the pharmacy across the street and buy some anti-inflammatory ointment. The rest of the money is for you as a tip."

The security guard clenched the money in his hand, at least a thousand. The swelling medicine only cost a few dollars, how many night shifts would it take him to earn the rest

He immediately replied with a smile, "Okay, please wait a moment."

Fu Hanlin went back to the car and took a look inside. Fu Yan was still asleep.

The security guard jogged over with the medicine, "Here you go sir."

At the sight of the luxury car behind him, the bodyguard was speechless.

Wow, so rich!

A cold wind blew the dew across, wetting Fu Hanlin's shoulders.

He brushed off the ash, and as the second cigarette neared its end, he heard the sound of a car door opening on the other side. He put out the cigarette, flicked the ember into the trashcan with his index finger.

"Mr. Fu," Fu Yan's voice was a little hoarse.

Fu Hánlín turned around and his gaze swept over her swollen cheek, "Come on, I'll send you up."

I'll send the medicine to your doorstep. Fu Hanlin handed her the bag, "Go back and apply it, you should feel much better after a good sleep. I looked at the ingredients, they are quite gentle."

Fu Yan nodded, her expression was a forced calm and polite smile, "Walk slowly."

Her hand pressed against the door, about to close it, when Fu Hanlin suddenly called out her name: "Fu Yan."

Then, she raised her eyes.

Fu Hanlin looked at her pale face and red eyes, his gaze darkened. The emotions welling up inside him were held back. "You should get some rest," he said.ile."Cao Yuan outside the door was taken aback.Before Cao Fang could react, he walked out of the kitchen and saw him standing dumbfounded at the doorway. He walked over and asked, "What's wrong"Cao Yu...
