Chapter 425

."At this moment, Fu Yan is like a life-saving straw for Xiaoxia, a modern-day Hua Tuo!"Okay, I'll do it right away." She was so overjoyed that she burst into tears.A message popped up on the computer...She frowned deeply.

She whispered, "How could you think that There's no way I would tell Aze. You did all this for me, and I'm just worried that before the transfer of your assets, Mr. Huo might not be able to hold on..."

"No, the dosage I used is not high. The poison will be released slowly, much slower than when I killed Lu Youguang. He won't even realize it until it's too late, and the Huo family will just think he died of natural causes."

Li Qin's body trembled uncontrollably.

Ziqe gently took her into his arms, "Xiaoqin, don't be afraid. Once we leave Nancheng, we'll be free."

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word, "Good."

Li Qin nestled in his arms, turned her head to look at the pitch-black window outside, was she truly free

No, she wanted to stay. She was going to be by Aze's side and become his wife!

......

Fu Yan thought about the activity at the welfare home in twenty days, and her whole body felt energized.

She subconsciously looked at the man behind the desk. His fingers were flying across the keyboard, making a rapid tapping sound, and his cold eyes were fixed on the screen, not noticing her at all.

She got up and walked to the bookshelf, hoping to distract herself by reading and avoid thinking about that matter any further, lest Huo Mingzheng notice anything.

There were many books on Huo Mingzheng's bookshelf. At the shelf that was just right for her height, she randomly pulled out a foreign language original. When she opened the first page, something fell out of the book.

She hurried to bend down and pick it up, but recognized it as a bookmark she had made when she was studying.

Back then when she was in middle school, she loved making bookmarks. She would draw cartoon characters on the bookmark cards and add a playful or encouraging quote to them.

But she was careless and often lost her bookmarks, so she made many of them. Whenever she lost one, she just replaced it with a new one. Over the past two or three years, she frequently went in and out of Huo Mingzheng's study, so it's likely that her bookmarks ended up in his study.

Every time she returned, she came back empty-handed.

Now, the bookmark card appears in Huo Mingzheng's book.

As if suddenly realizing something, she closed the book and pulled another one from the shelf. Opening it, she found another bookmark inside.

She pulled out another book, opened it, and there was another bookmark.

Originally....

All the lost bookmarks were collected by Huo Ming.

Fu Yan's fingers seemed to be burned, and the few books in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Sounds of an office chair moving came from behind. Huo Mingzheng strode toward her, long legs carrying him with each step. He first pulled her hand to check, "What's wrong"

Fu Yan turned away, her emotions complex. "You stole my bookmark."

Huo Mingzheng lowered his head and glanced at the scattered books on the ground, vaguely revealing a corner of the bookmark.

"It fell in my study, I thought it was mine."

Fu Yan smiled coldly, "Such a domineering statement, typical of Huo Mingzheng. Anything that falls within his territory belongs to him"

"Qin Heng said I didn't have a mouth, and I admit it." He said in a low voice, holding her hand tightly. On his high nose bridge, a pair of obsidian eyes were tightly furrowed with an unprecedented nervousness.

Fu Yan pursed her lips, a ridiculous thought flashing through her mind. It was so absurd that she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh it off.

She met Huo Mingzheng's gaze, "So you deliberately led me to the study, then guided me to look at the books on the bookshelf. The height of these books was also calculated, making it convenient for me to reach them and see the bookmark, knowing that you actually liked..."

He stared intently into her eyes, finishing her unspoken sentence in a husky whisper: "I like you."ke a cello string being played.Fu Yan's brain buzzed, and she blurted out, "What are you talking about"Huo Mingzheng looked at her flustered appearance, his heart softened. "She's just a psychologist,...
