so scared that her hair stood on end, and she ran away."It's me, Fu Yan."That shadowy figure spoke, and the voice was familiar.She stopped her steps, turned around, and as her eyes gradually adjusted...Fu Yan turned and pushed the door open.

Huo Mingzheng pressed her hand against the door from behind, his warm breath close to her, "Does your ex-boyfriend count"

Ex-boyfriend

Fu Yan frowned.

What she had with Huo Mingzheng wasn't really a romantic relationship. Apart from the first two years they spent together, there were times when their interactions resembled that of a couple, but...

"You wish," Fu Yan's face was filled with anger. She also felt that the two of them were too close, inexplicably irritable.

"Between couples, mutual respect and trust, we have nothing between us."

"So I'm the ex-boyfriend."

"......"

She really wanted to scold Huo Mingzheng for being shameless.

At this time, the manager's phone call came in.

"Xiao Fu, where did you go"

Fu Yan's remaining gaze swept in Huo Mingzheng's direction. She found that her hand was still pressed against the door by him, and she couldn't pull it out. She had no choice but to answer Duan Manager first, "I'll be there right away."

Hang up the phone.

"I'm going to work now, Mr. Huo. If you're free, please let go of my hand first."

She was aloof and indifferent, not wanting to look at him for another second.

Ho Mingzheng gave her a dark look, then let go of her hand. However, he pushed the door open instead.

"Making sure no one's outside, then I'll call you out."

Fu Yan's eyes were complex. Although she knew Huo Mingzheng's intentions, if someone happened to see her coming out of the men's restroom and being alone with Huo Mingzheng again, a scandal would be inevitable.

But how Huo Mingzheng's words sounded, it was like two people were having an affair.

He didn't miss the flash of irritation in her eyes, and probably guessed what it was. His lips curled up slightly.

He had already stepped out of the cubicle, putting a step's distance between him and Fu Yan, their lines of sight nearly on the same level.

"If you get caught, just say I'm your admirer."

The blue veins on Fu Yan's temples jumped uncontrollably as she fought to suppress her emotions, "What do you want"

At the moment of turning around, Huo Mingzheng left a sentence: "Isn't it obvious enough"

...Fu Yan was stunned.

She suddenly spoke.

"Have you been controlling me"

He was a major shareholder, and it would be as simple as saying the word for him to have someone stay at Fangxin. In Nanshi and throughout the country, no one would refuse Huo Mingzheng's personal favor.

Huo Mingzheng stopped in his tracks, "You don't have confidence in your own abilities"

Fu Yan, of course, was confident in herself, but her ability didn't mean she had no relationship with Huo Mingzheng.

Ho Mingzheng looked back at her, "I wasn't respectful enough to you before, so now I won't make things difficult for you on this matter."

After saying that, Huo Mingzheng left.

After a while, the WeChat message made a sound.

Fu Yan looked at the profile picture, it was different from before.

This is a rose, called "Rouge" in the renowned mansions of Jinling.

She took a deep breath and clicked in.

Come out, no one's here.

Fu Yan quickly walked out of the men's restroom.

He Mingzheng is no longer outside.

She placed her hand under the sensor faucet and glanced up at the mirror.

No wonder Huo Mingzheng only just realized she was hiding around the corner. It turned out that his position just now was exactly where he could see the mirror, and thus saw her.
