he sat up with her knees hugged to her chest, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.For two years, she knew clearly that she had no place in Huo Mingzheng's heart. He didn't love her; he only had a d...From beginning to end, there was nothing.

Like a promise.

Fu Yan's hand was grasped tightly by Huo Mingzheng, her steps halted. She stood frozen at the threshold of the master bedroom, with her back to him.

She looked at the reflection on the door, hers and Huo Mingzheng's overlapping. She was completely enveloped by him, as if they were indistinguishable, yet the distance between them was too far, too far.

"Have you ever thought about me pulling the trigger" Fu Yan didn't turn around, her expression even more indifferent than before.

Huo Mingzheng's hand froze.

So she knew all along.

Before Huo Mingzheng could speak, she gave a self-deprecating laugh. "So you said those threatening words to me, trying to stop me from taking action, right"

"Have you ever thought about this," Fu Yan choked back a sob and spoke slowly, "what if I didn't care about anything Then your words wouldn't threaten me. I would still shoot myself."

"I won't let you fire that gun." The man's voice was a gravelly whisper.

"Fu Yan chuckled, her eyes reddening inch by inch. 'President Huo is still so confident, every step of the incident was within your calculations, then what about the child Was he also within your calculations'"

The two shadows reflected on the door separated, and Fu Yan felt Huo Mingzheng's hand stiffen. She forcefully pulled her hand away from him and twisted the doorknob, "Huo Zong is finished, right I want to rest, excuse me."

"Yanyan." Huo Mingzheng frowned.

As Fu Yan was about to close the door, she heard him call her name again, "Yan Yan." Her face grew even colder. "Please, Mr. Huo, don't climb into my bed in the middle of the night. I find it very unpleasant."

The door slammed shut.

When Cao Fang went upstairs, he happened to hear this sentence. He frowned and thought, "If I had gone up a few minutes later, I would have avoided hearing it."

He really didn't have the courage to look at Mr. Huo's face, and kept his head bowed.

Just then, a servant carried up a box. Cao Fang asked, "What's in it"

The maid replied, "It was delivered from Huo's manor during dinner time. It seems to be a gift from Young Master Huo to Miss Fu. Miss Fu forgot to bring it up, I..."

She felt a shiver run down her spine. Why was Cao Fang constantly giving her the eye

Did she say anything wrong

Cao Fang caught a glimpse of Huo Mingzheng's gloomy face and felt something was amiss. As expected, Huo Mingzheng strode towards the cardboard box held by the servant, his hand just touching the edge of the box when the door to the master bedroom swung open from inside.

Fu Yan saw Huo Mingzheng's long, white hand holding a cardboard box. She took a step forward and coldly snatched the box from his hand.

Cao Fangming saw with his own eyes that Huo Mingzheng hadn't used any force at all.

Unfortunately, Miss Fu didn't even give Mr. Huo a glance.

The bedroom door slammed shut. The maid, sensing the tense atmosphere, hurried downstairs.

Cao Fang lowered his head and followed Huo Mingzheng into the study.

Ho Mingzheng lit a cigarette and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the courtyard. Servants were setting off fireworks, lively and noisy, which made this floor seem unusually deserted.

He recalled that many years ago, several children at Huo Gong Guan also liked to set off fireworks on New Year's Eve. He had been more mature than his peers since he was young and had never participated in such activities. After he was a teenager, he didn't even have the interest in watching them.

That day, I also happened to run into Huo Jingshu and Lao San Xiaosi playing together. Fu Yan was sitting in a dimly lit corner not far away. She didn't have much longing expression, and it didn't seem like she wanted to join them.

Just for the moment fireworks exploded, the curve of her smile and the radiance in her eyes were dazzling.

She likes making a fuss.

Ashtrays fell, he retracted his gaze from the window.

"What's up"

Cao Fang let out a breath of relief, Huo finally remembered he still existed.

He replied, "Miss Li Qin has left Zurich."Fu Yan only felt a wave of heat rushing to the top of her head.What is Huo Mingzheng doingHo Mingzheng put down his wine glass, as if nothing had happened, and continued to drink soup.After Fu Yan's i...
