Chapter 110

ed for a long time, thinking about many things. She knew that the Huo family's affairs weren't over yet, and she didn't know what she would face next.Ji Lin knocked on the door and asked her if she wa...She put on a knitted coat and went out, not wanting to stay outside for long.

Downstairs, Auntie Liu had fallen asleep, leaving only a single lamp burning on the corridor. The cool light made Fu Yan involuntarily shiver.

Pushing open the door, I saw Fu Jing standing under the trees in the distance. A few fallen leaves were trampled under his feet, scattered and broken.

His aura was deeper and colder, his entire being seemed submerged in ice, emanating a bone-chilling coldness.

"Pay attention." Fu Jing tossed the cigarette in his hand and stomped on it a few times.

He doesn't actually have a big smoking habit, and he even started smoking after retiring. But recently this past week, he's been smoking more and more. If he doesn't smoke, he can't suppress the restlessness inside him.

He strode toward Fu Yan, his entire face emerging from the shadows.

It was still that handsome and gentle Fu Jing.

"Why are you dressed so little"

Saying that, he was about to take off his suit jacket. Fu Yan stepped back, "No need, I'm not cold."

Fu Jing did not stop his actions.

Fu Yan was impatient, "Brother-in-law."

Fu Jing's movements came to a halt, his brows involuntarily furrowing. "What did you just call me"

"Brother-in-law," Fu Yan confronted him frankly, "I called you in the front hall earlier. If you forgot, I can remind you again: you are engaged to Huo Jingshu. Emotionally and rationally, you shouldn't have any other feelings for me."

"Isn't being a gentleman enough" Fu Jing's eyes flashed a hint of forbearance.

"But you're only being gentlemanly with me, that's all"

Fu Jing admitted that he still couldn't let go of Yan, otherwise he wouldn't come to see her late at night just to say a few words.

Looking into Fu Jing's eyes, I could see a hint of expectation.

Fu Yan frankly said, "I came out not to hear what you have to say, just to dispel your thoughts. Don't come and find me alone again in the future."

Fu Jing stared at her face, "That day I was drunk and somehow called Huo Jingshu."

He seemed to be suppressing a very intense emotion, his chest heaving and his breath shallow. "I should be responsible for her, but I don't like her. The person I've always liked is..."

“Fu Jing!” Fu Yan hurriedly interrupted him, afraid he would say something outrageous, “You don’t need to explain to me. You and Huo Jingshu are actually very compatible. People say that couples should grind against each other, complement each other in order to go further.”

"Don't say those things to me, okay"

Fu Yan shook her head, "I'm not trying to prick you, I just want you to wake up a little. What you say can change anything"

The corridor lights were bright, illuminating Fu Jing's face, which froze for a moment. He opened his mouth, but remained silent.

"You see, even you feel like you can't change anything. Saying it would only add to your worries. Why bother"

Fu Jing only understood later that Fu Yan's words outside the hospital last time were intentional, in order to make him completely give up on her.

Now, she says these things about needing to set boundaries with him, it's genuine.

He reached into his pocket, intending to take out his cigarette case, but when he saw Fu Yan in front of him, he put the case back. "What about you and Huo Mingzheng What I said can't change anything. So what about you and Huo Mingzheng What can you two change"

Fu Yan was stabbed in the heart, and Fu Jing looked at her complexion not very good, a trace of pity flashed in his heart, "Do you know that Huo Mingzheng has a first love girlfriend"

"I know." Fu Yan's face turned even worse.

Fu Jing couldn't bear to stimulate her any further.

As soon as he thought of her being entangled with Huo Mingzheng, he couldn't bear it, "You look so much like her."safer for you. I want to protect you, so I won't let anyone find you easily.”But.Before the Lunar New Year, I won't be coming again for a while. Coming too often is easy to be noticed. Luna will take...
