Chapter 221: Your mouth, it opens and closes as if it's
a chair and helped Old Master Huo sit down, then took the tea brewed by the staff and placed it on the old man's right hand.He glanced at Huo Jingshu, who looked disgruntled, his voice lazy, "What di...Here is the translation: *** Please provide me with the content you'd like me to translate! I'm ready for your next request.
He Ming saw that she was still unmoved, unsure if she didn't believe the first half of what he said or the second half, or perhaps not a single word.
He nodded silently, "Well then, since you don't want to see her, I'll have someone send her back."
Fu Yan lifted the blanket and wriggled out of his arms, saying nothing. She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went into the bathroom.
When she washed up, it was the first time in these few days that she had looked in the mirror. In just a few short days, she had lost a circle of weight.
Xiaoxia must have been startled to see her like this.
She casually opened the bathroom cabinet, and to her surprise, all of her makeup was still there.
She simply applied a light base to cover up her appearance, not noticing when Huo Mingzheng walked up behind her. He picked up the ebony comb from the shelf and began combing his hair for her.
He moved very gently, and besides her hair didn't have any tangles, it was easy to comb through. It could be combed all the way through in one go.
Fu Yan's movements froze, she didn't look at the two people in the mirror.
Huo Mingzheng pulled her long hair back, and she vaguely sensed what was going to happen next. Her heart pounded with a piercing pain that spread through every inch of her body.
Only to see Huo Mingzheng take something out of his pocket and insert it into her hair, revealing an end that was none other than the jade hairpin that Fu Yan had returned to him.
He once again braided her hair.
"I don't want to."
She instinctively wanted to remove the hairpin, but Huo Mingzheng quickly grasped her hand, encasing her fingers in his palm. Looking at her delicate features reflected in the mirror, he said, "This was meant for you all along."
"Before, in the hospital ward, I also intentionally let you see it."
Fu Yan's heart ached inexplicably, but she still said coolly: "Mr. Huo's words, I don't know which one is true and which one is false, your thoughts are all up to me to guess."
I can't figure it out, and I don't want to try anymore.
She pulled her hand away and left the bathroom.
Huo Mingzheng looked at the black washstand, where Fu Yan had placed her jade hairpin.
Cao Fang knocked on the door and came in to tell Qin Heng he had arrived, but saw Huo Mingzheng standing in the bathroom, his back looking dejected.
He hurriedly withdrew his gaze and took a step back.
"Has Qin Heng arrived"
The sound of Huo Mingzheng came from the bathroom.
Cao Fang stopped in his tracks, "Yes, Dr. Qin is waiting for you in the study."
Huo Mingzheng put away the hairpin and turned to leave the bedroom and go to the study.
Qin Heng came with Fu Yan's test report, laying out three lab slips in a line on Huo Mingzheng's desk. The results were clear at a glance.
No problem.
Almost every indicator is normal, except for anemia and some values that are high or low even in normal people. There are no other problems.
It seems like we overthought it before, Fu Yan is fine.
Ho Mingzheng furrowed his brow, "She's slept better these two days, and she looks more energetic. Except..."
He pursed his lips and picked up a cigarette case from the table.
Qin Heng helped him fill in the unspoken words, "Besides ignoring you, right"
Ho Mingzheng flicked his lighter, lit a cigarette, and tossed the flame away without speaking.
Qin Heng knew this was the default, and normal. If it were him, he wouldn't pay attention to Huo Mingzheng either.
He let out a frustrated tsk. "Have you opened your mouth yet Have you explained everything"
Huo Mingzheng walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and saw Fu Yan sitting in the glass greenhouse. Xiaoxia sat opposite her, and after saying something unknown, a slight curve appeared on the corner of her mouth, making her whole face even more charming.
She doesn't listen to me.
Qin Heng felt a chill down his spine. A-Zheng's words sounded so off, with a hint of grievance
"No, I'm asking how you explain that"
He wants to hear how a millennia-old mute gourd without a mouth opens up.
Having heard Huo Mingzheng's words, Qin Heng fell into a long silence. "You talk as if you never did."
Huo Mingzheng took a drag of his cigarette, the smoke curling into his lungs. His eyes were fixed on Fu Yan's smiling face, unable to tear away for a long time.
Qin Heng suddenly cried out in surprise, pointing at the window flower on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, "What's this"
He had only been gone for two days, and the manor had undergone earth-shaking changes. As soon as he got out of the car, he noticed it: red lanterns everywhere, colorful lights strung around, little red lanterns hanging from the bushes, and a big "Fu" (meaning good fortune) character pasted on the gate. How festive and lively everything was!
This is completely out of character for Huo Mingzheng, let alone the fact that there are window decorations in his study.
But this window paper...
"Is it a dog"
Huo Mingzheng frowned, pinched out his cigarette, and said, "You don't think this is a bull"
Qin Heng's cognition was overturned, pointing at the glass, "Today, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, it would still be a dog! Can you tell that it's a cow"
I saw it at once.
Qin Heng: "..."
Don't tell him this is paid for by Fu Yanjian, right
Just then, Cao Fang knocked and entered, "General Huo, Miss Fu, accompanied by Xia, has eaten quite a bit."
Ho Mingzheng let out a hum, he saw it, she was in much better spirits.
Xia Xia only left the Jinling Manor after accompanying Yan to dinner in the evening.
As always, Cao Yuan sent her back. Before getting out of the car, Cao Yuan gave her a red envelope.
Xia Xia was stunned.
Cao Yuan explained: "This is from Mr. Huo."
Xia Xia immediately understood, waving her hands hurriedly. "No, I don't want it. I willingly accompany Sister Yan, I don't need any reward, please take it back."
Cao Yuan also didn't expect her to refuse so outright. Not everyone goes against money, but some people have their own principles.
Just like Xiaxia.
He glanced at her, then looked away. "Then you go back. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
Xia unexpectedly glanced at him. The bodyguard actually knew how to speak in long sentences!
She thought he had some kind of congenital defect, that he could only speak a few words at a time. But it turns out that's not the case!
Caoyuan caught a glimpse of her complex expression in the rearview mirror, furrowed his brow, and urged, “Get out.”
"Oh!"
Xia Xia hurriedly got out of the car and was about to wave at him when the car brushed past her.
Just as Xia was about to take the elevator home, her phone rang. It was a string of unfamiliar numbers.
She picked up the phone in confusion, and then a deep and mellow voice came from the other end: "Is this Xia Xinxin"
Xia Xia was stunned. This was...
Ten minutes later, Xiaoxi pushed open the door to a private room in the teahouse and walked in. She saw a man sitting behind a tea table wearing frameless glasses, radiating an air of composure and elegance. Her heart began to race like a drum.
When I saw Ho Ming-cheng today, my mood was the same.
She shut the door with her backhand and respectfully said, "Mr. Fu."
……
Inside the gym, Huo Mingzheng got off the treadmill, picked up a dry towel from the rack and wiped his sweat. His black sports vest revealed two well-defined muscle lines of his shoulders.
Cao Fang knocked on the door and came in, walking up to him and whispering, "Mr. Huo, Fu Hanlin did see Xia."
Ho Mingzheng unscrewed the bottle cap and sneered, "He's still not giving up."Fang's culinary skills are certified, professional level. Even Huo Mingzheng, no matter how picky he is, will eat a few bites.He didn't touch it at all, so it wasn't that his appetite was off, it was...
