Chapter 24

elict cement factory on the outskirts of town."Help... me... help..."Cao Fang kicked the man down with one foot. The man fell back to the ground, unable to even make a sound.He had his eyes half-close...As it neared quitting time, Fu Yan was called to Shen Wei's office and invited to go dress shopping for an engagement gown with her.

"I'm sorry, Director Shen. I have to pick up my car at the 4S store at noon and probably won't be able to join you."

Shen Wei's expression fell, he took Fu Yan's hand and said, "Little Yan, can I call you that I just returned to the country recently and don't have many friends. You also know your second brother is a straight man with poor taste, definitely not as good as your taste. Please help me."

Fu Yan didn't really feel that close to her, "It's really not a good idea..."

Just then, Shen Wei's phone rang.

Fu Yan leaned close and immediately saw the note on the screen that read "Azhen."

"Hey, Azhen, are you here"

"Well, I wanted to ask Xiao Yan to help me with this, but she said she had something else to do and couldn't come. Could you persuade her for me"

I don't know what he said over there. Shen Wei handed the phone to Fu Yan, and said with a smile: "Azheng asked you to take the call."

Fu Yan didn't know what Huo Mingzheng wanted to do, but she didn't want to refuse in front of Shen Wei. She picked up her phone and called out obediently, "Second brother."

"Dare you go"

Fu Yan pinched her phone tightly. She knew Huo Mingzheng was provoking her, but she couldn't say anything. She still obediently said, "I have to pick up the car. I've been waiting for days and can't wait any longer."

He Mingzheng listened to her speak softly, let out a cold snort, gritting his teeth with anger, yet he put on such a good show!

"The car Cao Fang will pick up for you. What other excuses do you have" Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"I can go myself, no need to bother Cao's secretary."

"Fù Yān." Hòu Míngzhēng suddenly called her name, "Who said they couldn't play last night Is this what you mean by being able to take it and let it go"

Fu Yan secretly tightened her chest, this man was deliberately provoking her. Either he wanted to make her lose face in front of Shen Wei and expose something, or he wanted her to comply with his wishes.

"Okay, I'll go."

He won.

Shen Yiyue grabbed Fu Yan's arm, her eyes sparkling with joy. "That's great, Xiao Yan, thank you."

Fu Yan and Shen Wei went downstairs together. Huo Mingzheng's car was already parked outside the company.

Fu Yanxi thought, it was really rare. Huo Mingzheng, who had always been the one waiting for others, would also be willing to wait for a woman.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door. She glanced inside at once. Huo Mingzheng wore a black suit under a dark gray overcoat. The setting sun slanted in from the window, and the sapphire tie pin at his collar gleamed with a cold light, adding a touch of mystery to his already noble aura.

The extended sedan was spacious. Fu Yan followed Shen Wei onto the car and sat across from Huo Mingzheng.

Today's temperature dropped sharply, Nanshan entered deep autumn, Fu Yan only realized the cold when she went out and didn't have time to go home to add clothes.

She was dressed thinly today. When she came out of the company, she sneezed several times. Her nose was slightly red now, and there were a few teardrops on her eyelashes, like a pitiful little cat.

"Cold" The man's deep voice was exceptionally pleasant to the ear.

Fu Yan was taken aback.

"It's fine." Shen Wei took hold of Huo Mingzheng's arm.

Only then did Fu Yan see that Huo Mingzheng's eyes were fixed on Shen Wei. He was asking Shen Wei, if she had nothing to do with it.

She withdrew her gaze, looking instead at the endless stream of cars and the couples flirting on the street.

"Have dinner first, and then go to the store to try on clothes." Huo Mingzheng loosened Shen Wei's grip on his arm, picked up the file and started reviewing it.

Shen Wei was completely like a little woman in front of him, "Listen to your arrangements. If I had known you were so busy, I wouldn't have asked you to go together. You worked so hard."

Huo Mingzheng scanned the document at a glance, "Not hard." down the car window, just about to light a cigarette, but then he remembered that Li Qin didn't like the smell of smoke, so he put the cigarette case back in the storage box.He leaned back in his cha...
