Chapter 444

e phone, before she could even speak, Jì Lín launched into a furious tirade: "Fù Xiǎoyān, you're so bold!""What" Fu Yan was at a loss.Ji Lin was really angry, so angry that he wanted to crawl through...Meanwhile.

In the master bedroom, after Huo Mingzheng left, Fu Yan opened her eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot, she hadn't slept at all.

She had once been drugged with sleeping pills by Huo Mingzheng, so she was wary and knew he wouldn't continue to make a fuss about the milk. The only thing in the entire room that could be tampered with was the diffuser.

After the nutritionist left, she changed the essential oil to an unopened one.

She was afraid of sleeping too long, afraid she wouldn't be able to avenge Ji Lin, and afraid that Huo Mingzheng was hiding something from her.

She knew everything he did after he came.

... including putting medicine on her, holding her, kissing her forehead, and saying goodnight to her ...

Which one is not Lingchi

Just then, the door to the master bedroom was pushed open from outside. She closed her eyes and heard footsteps heading towards the walk-in closet.

After a while, a figure stood before her. Accompanying the man's warm fingertips touching the mole at the corner of her eye, came Huo Mingzheng's unique cold voice.

"Since you can't sleep, why not get up and have something to eat."

Her body stiffened slightly.

The edge of the bed sagged slightly, where Huo Mingzheng had sat down.

His thumb traced from her tear mole to the corner of her eye, she suddenly opened her eyes, meeting Huo Mingzheng's cold and tranquil black eyes.

A barely perceptible smile played on the corner of his lips. "Yan Yan, didn't I tell you your acting was terrible You can fool others, but not me."

So it turns out he knew all along.

Fu Yan had a moment where she felt like she was being played, as if everything was under his control. A sense of helplessness, an inability to break free, washed over her body.

"Do you still pretend to be with me"

"I want to see how long you can hold on, and I also want to know how far you can endure me."

She was taken aback for a moment, let out a sneer and turned away, saying coldly, "It's not that I'm enduring you, I just want to get the truth from you."

Huo Mingzheng's deep eyes became even more unfathomable. He suddenly curled his lips, "You wouldn't even lie to me."

So direct and unapologetic in expressing his intentions, he doesn't even pretend. He just wants no further entanglement with her.

Fu Yan pursed her lips, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Only then did she realize that Huo Mingzheng had changed into a suit and was dressed neatly. Today was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, time to go to work. Especially today being the first day back, as the head of Huo's Corporation, he should be present.

Her gaze paused, falling on the tie in his hand.

This is not......

Ho Mingzheng grasped her hand, placing the tie in her palm. "Help me tie my tie," he said.

Fu Yan grasped the tie's end tightly, saying lightly, "This tie doesn't suit your status."

"What you gave me, it fits." Huo Mingzheng led her hand to the collar of his shirt and spoke softly, "It's not what you said, not about enduring me. It's about wanting to find the truth from me, isn't it"

Fu Yan gave him a tie expressionlessly.

He yielded to her, bowing his head slightly, his gaze fixed on her eyes.

She remembered the last time she had helped him tie his tie was after news broke of his engagement to Shen Wei. He had brought her here, trying on different ties one by one for his upcoming wedding.

He never intended to get engaged to Shen Wei. That night, trying on a tie was purely a way to tease her.have happened to Ji LinUntil she cried out, "Ji Lin!""You still have the nerve to call me!" Ji Lin's anger sprayed across the phone directly onto Fu Yan's face.Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat, it was ov...
