back that I won't be controlled by him." Fu Yan's face turned cold.She coldly said, "Move aside!"Cao Yuan stood his ground, "I'm not my brother, so I don't speak as softly. Miss Fu, it's best you coop...Li Qin walked into the restaurant, her arm linked with Huo Mingzheng's.

Old Master Huo glanced at them, “Come and eat.”

Cheng Weiqin frowned. Although she couldn't say she knew her son very well, something like eating grass wouldn't be something he would do.

"Azhen, you try this. I specially took out the chicken oil, so the soup is very clear."

Li Qin scooped a bowl of soup and placed it on Huo Mingzheng's left.

"Xiaoqin is virtuous and kind." Huo Chenyao smiled.

Li Qin blushed and lowered her head.

Old Master Huo glanced meaningfully.

"Azheng is busy with work, so he needs someone caring to look after him."

Huomingzheng sipped his soup slowly.

Grandfather Huo smiled and said, “The two of you missed each other these past few years, so don't miss each other anymore from now on. It's already the end of the year, and we can't choose a good day. After the spring arrives, let's set the auspicious date for your wedding.”

Cheng Weiqin narrowed her eyes.

Didn't the old man previously dislike Li Qin for not being able to have children

She didn't care whether Huo Mingzheng got married or not, had children or not. She gave him freedom and didn't interfere.

But how come grandpa suddenly changed his mind

Li Qin's lips twitched upwards, just about to speak when Huo Mingzheng slowly opened his mouth.

"Grandpa, aren't you being a little too impatient"

A flicker of a smile crossed Li Qin's lips.

Grandfather Huo said meaningfully, "I'm an old man now. Before I go, I just want to see you get married and start a family, carry on the glory of the Huo family for another hundred years. Then, I can die in peace."

"When your father gets out of school, I'll talk to him. You just manage the company well, don't worry about anything else."

A faint smile touched Huo Mingzheng's lips, and he said nothing more.

Ke Li Qin ate a meal but had no appetite.

After dinner, everyone dispersed. She followed to Huo Mingzheng's bedroom on the top floor.

Huo Mingzheng picked up his coat, preparing to go out.

See Li Qin standing at the door.

"It might rain later, Cao Yuan should send you back."

Li Qin bit her lower lip.

At the moment Huo Mingzheng brushed past her, she tightly embraced his waist from behind.

"Azheng, am I not doing well enough somewhere"

Huo Mingzheng's figure froze, holding onto Li Qin's hand and moving it away. "You haven't done badly."

Li Qin hugged him again, pressing her face against his broad back. She could faintly feel his powerful heartbeat, making her blood surge.

"When Grandpa said he wanted to set a wedding date for us, why did you say those things Don't you want to marry me"

Ho Mingzheng was silent.

Li Qin was on the verge of tears, "Do you know that in order to return to your side, I've searched for renowned doctors these past few years, changed my blood three times. Each time, the belief that supported me back from the brink of death was you, Aze. Without you, I would have died long ago."

"Xiaoqin..."

Realizing the man was about to pry her hand open, Li Qin held onto his waist tightly and refused to let go. "A-Zheng, are you still angry with me I left without a word back then. Are you still mad at me, aren't you"

You know me.

Ho Mingzheng said six words in a flat tone.

Li Qin's hands stiffened.

Huo Mingzheng snatched her hand away, turned around, and looked down at her, "I can give you anything you want..."

Li Qin rushed into his arms, interrupting him. "Azheng, haven't you forgotten what you promised me"

She looked at the man's face, which had suddenly become silent. A voice in her mind screamed, "Azheng is mine, he is mine..."

...... able to make it tonight, I completely forgot about that. You guys go ahead and busy yourselves then. It's fine if we miss the birthday, we can celebrate another time."Qin Heng nodded and turned to le...
