"No need." He released her hand, sat up, and loosened his tie with one hand. The collar of his black shirt opened slightly, revealing a sharp Adam's apple.

"Are you busy today?" She picked up a teacup from the table, it was black tea brewed by the maid, still warm, and handed it to him.

Huo Mingzheng took the teacup and said lightly, "It's fine. I went to the airport to pick up my mother in the evening and then went out to socialize."

Li Qin said with sympathy, "The Huo family's house is so far from the airport, you just have to tell the driver to pick her up. Your mother-in-law will understand that you are busy with work. However, it was also tiring for her to stay in Guangcheng for three days."

Ho Mingzheng lowered his head to sip tea, "I originally planned to send someone to pick her up, but I'd better go myself."

"I know you care about your aunt."

Li Qin took the warm towel handed to her by the nanny, wiping her hands. Because of her physical condition, even in summer, her hands and feet were always cold, and she often had to use a hot towel to wipe her hands to get a moment of warmth.

She turned her head and saw a black suitcase beside the sofa. It was a large suitcase, big enough to hold several sets of clothes.

"Are you going on a business trip?" she asked, getting up and walking to her suitcase, which she turned over.

This isn't her suitcase, the nanny wouldn't put it here, it must belong to Huo Mingzheng.

Huo Mingzheng put down his teacup, his eyes unfathomable. "No."

"What's this?" Her heart beat faster.

Is he going to move in?

The man looked at her retreating figure and said in a flat tone, "You left your clothes at the Jincheng Mansion. I'll bring them to you."

Li Qin's hand froze on the suitcase handle, and the color drained from her face in an instant.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she spoke in as calm a voice as possible. "You didn't bring it over, I almost forgot about it. Is it in your room?"

Huo Mingzheng leaned back on the sofa, "What do you think?"

Li Qin looked annoyed. "It must be the maid who put it there wrongly. I only stayed for one night, and they put my clothes in your closet! I have too much luggage, so I forgot."

She pulled her suitcase and called the nanny over, softly instructing, "Take it upstairs and put it in the cloakroom."

The nanny dragged her suitcase upstairs. Li Qin clenched her clammy palms, and from the corner of her eye, she saw Huo Mingzheng stand up. He adjusted his collar and picked up his coat from the armrest of the sofa.

She was flustered. “I prepared your favorite snacks in the kitchen.”

"No more, I have to go to work tomorrow. Let's go back to rest early."

Li Qin strode forward, grasping Huo Mingzheng's arm. "A-Zheng, are you angry with me?"

Huo Mingzheng looked at her calmly and asked, "What am I angry about?"

She looked up at his eyes.

But his eyes held no emotion whatsoever. It wasn't that he was heartless and unfeeling, it was simply that he hid it too well.

No matter what, as long as Huo Mingzheng puts his heart into hiding, he can hide it very well, and no one can pry into his secrets.

Her face returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. She smiled gently, "Take it slow on your way home and get some rest early. Don't overwork yourself."

Huo Mingzheng hummed softly and changed his shoes at the entrance hall.

Li Qin stood before him, her hands clasped in front of her, obedient and well-behaved.

Just as he was about to open the door and leave, Li Qin called out to him, walked in front of him, and blocked his way. "A-Zheng, do you still like me?"

Huo Mingzheng looked down at her from above, saying meaningfully, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
