Chapter 102

emed troubled. He said to Huo Mingzheng, "Since you're here, I don't need to call you separately. Xiaowei will be trying on her wedding dress the day after tomorrow, see if you can make time to accomp...Fu Jinghe ...... Huo Jingshu

Fu Yan was stunned.

She suspected she had misheard.

Fu Jing is warm and humble with a clean and sunny disposition, while Huo Jing is the only daughter of the Fourth Master of the Huo family. She is much wilder than her name suggests, and she and Fu Jing are like water and fire, incompatible.

She was the same age as Fu Yan. During their studies, Fu Yan's grades always outshone hers. She secretly resented Fu Yan, though she wasn't inherently bad; she was just a bit willful.

I heard she was pursuing an athlete before.

Could it be Fu Jing

"So, you're not happy about their engagement" Seeing her lost in thought, Huo Mingzheng's voice turned cold.

Fu Yan didn't know where she had upset him again. He was being moody, and she pulled the covers up to her chin, "What does it have to do with me."

And why should she be happy or sad

And then...

Tomorrow is my father's death anniversary.

She wasn't lying when she said she wanted to go back to Guangcheng before. She was truly planning on it. Every year, she would visit her father's grave, but this year, if she doesn't go back, she won't feel at ease.

"Given your current situation, if you go to Guangcheng, you might end up joining your father."

Before this, Fu Yan knew Huo Mingzheng had a sharp tongue, but she didn't expect him to be this venomous.

She was thinking, Lord Huo was a university professor and Lady Huo was a pianist. They were both kind-hearted people. While they weren't exactly loving towards Yao, they were charitable, treating her better than most of the people in the Huo family. How could someone like them give birth to a son like Huo Mingzheng

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Worse yet, there was nothing she could do about him. So she pulled the covers over her head.

Ho Mingzheng directly threw off the covers, pulled her up from the bed, and said, "If you can't argue, pretend to be a turtle. Qin Heng said you need to get out of bed and move around."

"I have no energy."

She was telling the truth, that drug was too strong. To this day, she can only manage to lift a spoon and pull up her blanket. She can't do anything else. Even going to the bathroom downstairs requires help from a nurse.

I even begin to wonder if I'll be paralyzed on one side for the rest of my life.

Huo Mingzheng's lips curled into a sneer, "Didn't you just say you were going to Guangcheng"

He knows how to be infuriating.

She was angry but too afraid to speak, her big, bright eyes glaring.

But her face was pale, and she had no spirit at all, only pitiful.

"Get up." Huo Mingzheng pulled at the bedsheets standing by the bed, his posture showing no sign of backing down.

Two minutes later, the nurse came with an IV stand and hung the IV bag on it. Fu Yan wanted to reach out for help, but although Huo Mingzheng was closest to her, she asked the nurse instead: "Can you help me up"

The nurse just said, "Okay, I'll help you up."

Huo Mingzheng reached out and lifted Fu Yan from the bed, steadily supporting her limp body. His voice was low and raspy as he scraped against her ear, "What's wrong with you"

Being so close, the warmth of their breath brushed her ear. Fu Yan's heart fluttered with a mixture of tingling and numbness, her ears instantly reddening.

She feigned nonchalance, averting her gaze before reaching out to grab the IV stand. The base of the stand had wheels, allowing her to lean on it for support as she walked.

Besides the nurses' station, Fu Yan found that there was only her as a patient on this entire floor.

That's it, her relationship with Huo Mingzheng is something that cannot be known to the outside world.uld hear a pin drop.The sound of breathing, getting more and more erratic, came from somewhere.Fu Yan's hand was clammy, her breath shallow and uneven. A nameless anxiety spread through her chest, her...
