Chapter 23

ng the concealer and foundation, the slap mark on the left cheek became even more prominent.The cotton swab snapped in two with a crackle.Fu Yan was startled and looked up at Huo Mingzheng. The man tu..."Fu..." Fu Yan was suddenly unsure how to address him. She hesitated, just about to speak, when she suddenly heard a car horn honking in the distance.

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

It was an ordinary thing, but she felt a sudden flutter in her heart and 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 abnormality.

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

"Alright, then get some rest."

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

She turned and quickened her pace down the hallway. Two beams of car headlights illuminated her from behind, casting her shadow firmly against the wall.

Fu Yanxiang was rooted to the spot, her legs leaden and 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, holding back the sudden surge of humiliation.

"One Chen Rang is not 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 is interfering too much. This is my private matter." Fu Yan gritted her teeth hard.

"You're a mess of bad debts. Without me cleaning up after you, do you think you could stand in Nancheng or at the Huo family"

Fu Yan quickly said, "Yes, my second brother is right. Even when hitting a dog, you have to consider the owner. I am grateful for my second brother's mercy."

Huo Mingzheng's face was ashen.

She turned back, a fearless smile on her face.

"Who I befriend is my own business. Second Brother, as the head of the Huo family, you can certainly offer your opinion, but to interfere so much, can I take it that you can't handle it"

The man narrowed his eyes, a dangerous aura surrounding him. "Playing"

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

She also will.

This knife also stabs its own heart.

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

After finishing, she turned and walked into the corridor.

She knew these words had an ignorant element to them, but she really didn't want to be entangled with Huo Mingzheng anymore.

She didn't want to interfere in other people's relationships, especially Huo Mingzheng's.

She loved him so much, wanting only pure and exclusive things that were truly hers, not these stolen, illicit ones.

Back home, Fu Yan went straight for a shower, trying to cool her head and stop thinking about Huo Mingzheng.

After she came out of the bathroom and looked out the window, Huo Mingzheng's car had already driven away.

I felt a sense of emptiness.

> It's not so bad though.

Before going to bed, she opened WeChat and saw a friend request.

Upon clicking it, it was a small dog's profile picture.

Hi, I'm Fu Jing. Want to be friends

Fu Yan looked at it for a while and clicked agree.r side of the fork in the road, then ducked into an alleyway beside a nearby shop.In a foreign land, she couldn't rely on shopkeepers to help her call the police for help. Those people would catch up...
