Chapter 112
d."Fu Yan was startled. "You knew"She helped Mr. Fu sit down on her office chair and put a hand warmer she used into his hand. Nánchéng estimated that it was about to snow, the weather had become very...Ho Mingzheng strode forward with his long legs to stand before the two.
He was wearing a black loungewear set, the high collar just skimming the edge of his Adam's apple. A dark gray knitted cardigan was layered over it, and his straight-legged pants accentuated his long, powerful legs.
Only then did Fu Yan discover that the two of them were wearing the same color series.
Huo Mingzheng stood before Fu Jing, he was slightly taller, with cold brows and eyes, an aura of natural majesty pressed down on him, "Let me state this upfront, a woman from the Huo family, you can only touch one. If there are more, I won't be polite."
Fu Yan's eyes looked away.
Fu Jing's eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to speak, Huo Mingzheng added, "Or do you want her situation at the Huo family to be even worse"
A single sentence awakened Fu Jing, although he was a thousand unwilling, he couldn't bear to see Fu Yan being bullied.
He gave Fu Yan a deep look, then turned and walked away.
"Looks like you've got quite the craving, huh" Huo Mingzheng suddenly spoke.
Fu Yan hadn't reacted yet, she only felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively shivered. The coat covering her was pulled to the ground by Huo Mingzheng.
Just now Fu Jingpi did, she was about to refuse, but her sudden appearance interrupted her.
She couldn't help but sneeze, her eyes watery. She cursed him for being domineering and unreasonable, what was he on about wearing clothes anyway
"Come here."
Fu Yanxi sniffed, and Huo Mingzheng pulled her hand into his chest. Her fingers were soft in his palm, icy cold to the bone.
He couldn't help but angrily say: "It's so cold, you still want to come out and see him"
Huo Mingzheng had a strong qi and blood, like a walking furnace. While Fu Yan was the type who felt cold hands and feet even before winter arrived.
Even after they slept together, the experience felt like a distant memory. The moment she and Huo Mingzheng physically separated, it was as if they were strangers to each other. An invisible chasm stretched between them on the bed.
But the next day, she always woke up in Huo Mingzheng's arms, sleeping soundly and comfortably warm.
Perhaps subconsciously, she craved his warmth.
Pulled into his embrace, Fu Yan was once again close to his body heat. The desire that had been dormant deep within her heart began to stir.
Just as her hand was about to touch the corner of his clothes, she remembered what she had heard outside Qin Heng's office, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head.
Moments of rationality and lucidity returned.
What she thought was warmth was an illusion. Huo Mingzheng is a businessman, profit above all else, she has never been in his consideration.
She took a step back, turning to leave, but was pulled back into Huo Mingzheng's arms. Fu Yan was now clear-headed and looked around in panic, "This is the Huo family!"
"How come you can meet your brother-in-law late at night, but not your cousin" The man's voice was cold, he didn't care at all about where they were or if anyone would find them.
"She couldn't pay him back and her wrist was bruised red from his grip. “I just wanted to tell him clearly, that I don’t want him to come find me again,” she said.
Besides, Fu Jing didn't hold her in his arms like he did.
This picture, no matter who sees it, wouldn't think that she and Huo Mingzheng have a pure and innocent relationship that goes beyond that of siblings.
Ho Mingzheng sneered: "If he could listen, he wouldn't come looking for you."
If someone is capable of considering the consequences, how could they not think about what would happen if things went out of control and the price to be paid
Fu Jing didn't expect it.
If he hadn't just appeared and reminded him, he would have probably been entangled with Fu Yan for a long time.
Right now, Fu Yan only worried that this wouldn't go unnoticed. The Huo manor was large, with guards patrolling at night, someone could come by at any time.
He held her tightly, his upper body pressed against hers. She could feel the powerful beat of his heart through his clothes and flesh, driving her own wildly.
The faster her heart beat, the more panicked she became, "Can you please let go of me"
Huo Mingzheng's grip on her wrist tightened, and just as Fu Yan assumed he was going to let go of her, he pulled her into the crevice between a fake mountain and the wall.
Just then, the bodyguard happened to patrol by.
As soon as the bodyguard walked away and they were sure he wouldn't hear anything, Fu Yan hastily wriggled out of Huo Mingzheng's arms. Huo Mingzheng tugged at her knitted jacket, causing Fu Yan to feel a sudden chill. Instinctively, she moved closer to the warmth.
With a smug chuckle, Huo Mingzheng leaned down and kissed her lips, pressing her against the rock formation. Her back pressed against the rough, uneven stone surface, Fu Yan was hurt and frowned.
......
As night fell, the entire Huo Gong Mansion was plunged into a peaceful silence.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she sprang back to life from him like a reflection returning, looking around, silent and still.
Suddenly, Liu Jie's bedroom door opened, and she was so scared that her soul flew away.
Fortunately, Liu Jie didn't notice them. She yawned sleepily and went to the public restroom on the first floor.
"Is that all it takes to scare you" Huo Mingzheng looked at her calmly.
On one hand, she kept her eyes on Liu Jie's movements. On the other, she pushed Huo Mingzheng, lowering her voice: "Please, let's go now."
Ho Mingzheng is like a mountain, standing firm and unyielding.
Fu Yan was so anxious that his face flushed red. He said calmly, "Call out to Second Brother and let him hear." extra layer of identity. But that layer wasn't her choice; it was forced upon her, even given to her without consent and left at the side gate of the orphanage.Thinking of the ice and snow, she was a...
