"Fu..." Fu Yan was suddenly at a loss for words. She hesitated for a moment, just about to speak, when she suddenly heard someone honking their car horn in the distance.

It wasn't a tight, continuous blast of the horn; the other party just tapped it once, like a polite reminder.

It was an ordinary thing, but for some reason, she felt a sudden flutter of panic in her heart. She looked toward the source of the sound.

When I saw a string of familiar license plate numbers, my whole body froze.

"What's wrong?" Fu Jing noticed her difference.

Fu Yan shook her head and quickly calmed down, worried that Huo Mingzheng would embarrass Fu Jing. She hurriedly said, "I'm a little tired and want to go back to rest."

Fu Jing also didn't pressure her, "Okay, then you should rest well."

As Fu Jing's car drove out of the residential area, Fu Yancai finally felt at ease.

She turned and hurried down the hallway. Two beams of headlights shone behind her, casting her shadow firmly onto the wall.

Fu Yanxiang was rooted to the spot, her legs heavy as lead, unable to move.

She heard the sound of a car window rolling down behind her.

"Are you so desperate for a man?"

She took a deep breath, suppressing the sudden surge of humiliation.

"One Chen Rang isn't enough, and you went on a blind date again? How brave are you? Just because he's an Olympic champion, you feel safe giving yourself to him?"

"Second brother, you're meddling too much. This is my own business." Fu Yan bit her teeth together with all her might.

“You're a mess, drowning in debt. Without me bailing you out, do you think you could have stood your ground in Nancheng or within the Huo family?”

Fu Yan quickly replied: "Yes, Second Brother is right. You don't hit a dog unless it bites you. I appreciate Second Brother's mercy."

Huo Mingzheng's face was cold and grim.

She turned back, a reckless smile on her face.

"Who I befriend is my own business. While Second Brother, as the head of the Huo family, can certainly offer a word of advice, to interfere too much... wouldn't that mean you, Second Brother, can't handle it?"

The man's cold eyes narrowed, radiating a palpable aura of danger. "Playing?"

Fu Yanxin thought, isn't it just stabbing someone with a knife?

She also will.

But this knife also pierces its own heart.

She endured the pain in her heart, "From now on, please don't interfere with my personal matters anymore, Second Brother, because it has nothing to do with you."

After finishing her words, she turned and walked into the hallway.

She knew these words had a thoughtless edge to them, but she really didn't want any more connection with Huo Mingzheng.

She didn't want to get involved in other people's feelings, especially Huo Mingzheng's.

She loved him so much, and all she ever wanted was something pure, something that belonged only to her, not this stolen, clandestine thing.

Back home, Fu Yan rushed to take a shower, allowing herself to fully cool down and stop thinking about Huo Mingzheng.

When she came out of the bathroom and looked out the window, Huo Mingzheng's car was already gone.

A sense of emptiness filled my heart.

However, that's not so bad either.

Before going to sleep, she opened WeChat and saw that there was a friend request.

Upon clicking it, there was a small dog's portrait.

Hello, I'm Fu Jing. Want to be friends?

Fu Yan looked at it for a while and clicked "Agree".
