ntarily frozen in her seat, unable to move. In the blink of an eye, she snatched a tissue."I'll wipe it myself."Huo Mingzheng's phone rang, and Fu Yan only heard him pick it up, "Xiaoqin."After a paus...After Huo Ming left, Fu Yan got up, changed her clothes, and drove back to her place.

Cao Fang bought congee back, but the house was already empty.

He took out his phone and dialed a number. The call was answered quickly.

Mr. Huo, Miss Fu has already left.

The man on the phone pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Find out who she's met with these past few days, and which doctor she saw at the hospital today."

"Yes."

Ho Mingzheng hung up the phone, and a WeChat message popped up on his phone. He ordered: "Go to Beishan Mingfu first."

Beishan Mingfu is a villa district developed at the foot of Beishan Mountain. It's very close to Beishan Hospital and is inhabited by wealthy residents from Nancheng. Huo Mingzheng is a prominent figure in Nancheng, so much so that even without knowing his appearance, one could recognize his car plate.

As the car drove into Beishan Mingfu, a phone call was also made to Huo Gongguan.

The steward answered the phone, "Hello, this is Huo Gong's residence."

"The second young master went to Beishan's famous residence to see Miss Li."

"The Second Young Master is back Are you sure you're not mistaken"

"Confirmed, saw it with my own eyes."

After hanging up the phone, the housekeeper went to the third floor.

Old Master Huo had just woken up from his midday nap, leaning against the beauty's couch sipping tea when he heard a knock on the door. He raised his eyes and said, "Come in."

The housekeeper repeated the phone call contents.

With a grunt, Old Master Huo placed his teacup on the tea table and, with the help of his servant, sat up.

The housekeeper said, "The second young master is deeply in love with Miss Li."

"Is that so" Old Master Huo brushed his hand away and stood up. He leaned on his cane and walked to the window. From the third floor, he could see everything outside the front hall with a meaningful smile. However, under the sunlight, his smile seemed particularly cold.

......

Li Qin sat before the tea table, arranging flowers she had just pruned from the garden. These were the last few roses in Nanshan after winter set in.

The doorbell rang, and the nanny came out from the kitchen. She opened the door and, upon seeing the man at the entrance, she was taken aback for a moment before rushing to the living room with delight and shouting, "Miss Li, Mr. Huo is here."

"Azhen..." Li Qin was so excited that she accidentally pricked her finger with a rose thorn. She frowned, but before she could deal with it, she got up and rushed to the entrance hall.

"A-Zheng!" She ran up to him, Huo Mingzheng was changing his slippers.

He took off his coat and handed it to the nanny.

After a few days apart, he had become even more handsome and noble. The composure and elegance in his brow made her heart beat wildly.

Ho Ming's gaze swept over her bleeding finger, asking in a low voice, "What happened"

"Oh," Li Qin came back to her senses and explained, "I accidentally pricked myself with a rose thorn while pruning it just now. It seems like a thorn is still stuck inside."

"Do you have tweezers and iodine at home" the man asked.

The nanny quickly replied, “Yes, I’ll get it right away.”

Li Qin followed Huo Mingzheng into the living room, casually saying, "It's fine."

The man rolled up the sleeves of his black cashmere sweater to above his wrists, and took the tray from the nanny. It contained sterilized tweezers and iodine.

"Your illness is most fearful of wound infections."

He sat on the sofa and reached out to Li Qin. Li Qin, sitting on his left, obediently extended her hand. "Didn't you say you were coming back tomorrow""What kind of drunken madness are you having this late at night""I'm just here to get my things back."Fu Yan didn't even think before replying him, "I don't have what you're looking for here, please g...
