Chapter 74 Kissing in the car, caught by best friend

Inside the hospital's VIP ward, Fu Hengzhi still had some bruises on his face, and his eyes were sinister.

Upon seeing the message from his brother, he was taken aback at first, then a predictable, sarcastic smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He replied slowly and deliberately: 【Understood.】

Just as he predicted!

Last time in the KTV room, Su Muci sang a breakup song and splashed him with red wine, acting so decisively. She really went too far and overacted!

Now that he knows he's wrong, he can't help himself and starts trying to find ways to manipulate him.

Did he deliberately go to the most expensive wedding dress shop in Jiangcheng, and his brother "coincidentally" bumped into him?

They're getting better and better at playing hard to get.

Fu Hengzhi chuckled and casually tossed his phone aside.

He imagined Su Muci in the wedding dress shop right now, probably distracted, constantly glancing towards the entrance, hoping to be photographed and trend on social media? To get his attention?

He leaned back comfortably against the hospital bed, already starting to plan how Su Muci would propose this time.

Now that she's a celebrity, she won't use cheap balloons and flowers like last time, will she?

In any case, he has to be careful this time, especially... he has to let a certain special assistant in Kyoto see it with his own eyes and completely break down his defenses.

Thinking of Zeroon, Fu Hengzhi's eyes turned even colder.

He picked up his phone and called Su Muci, but the call was rejected! He sent her a message, but it was also rejected!

He glanced at the corner of his eye and said, "Su Muchi, you're quite the actor."

He raised his hand and called over a nurse: "Handle my discharge procedures and leak my discharge information to the media!"

Fu Hengzhi didn't want to be proposed to in the hospital; he needed to let Su Muci know that he wasn't in the hospital anymore.

...

Meanwhile, inside the wedding dress shop.

Su Muci was completely unaware of Fu Hengzhi's self-directed and self-acted scheme.

She tried on several carefully selected wedding dresses, each one stunning Huo Zhan.

After finalizing the main wedding dress and several other gowns, she got into the car with Huo Zhan.

Huo Zhan specially called a driver today.

He raised the partition, took Su Muci's hand, and sat down in the spacious back seat, giving a high-sounding reason: "I want to sit close to Mrs. Huo."

Su Muci's cheeks flushed, but she didn't pull away, letting him hold her.

Huo Zhan played with her slender fingers while gently kissing the top of her head and asking her in a low voice what she thought about the wedding date.

Su Muci leaned against him, her voice soft and gentle:

"I'm fine with anything, it's up to you."

"Then...tomorrow?"

"?" Su Muci gently punched him: "The wedding dress customization won't be that quick, and we haven't received the ring yet."

Huo Zhan chuckled softly, tightening his arms around her and pulling her even closer into his embrace.

Gazing at her innocent and easily deceived appearance, he couldn't help but kiss her lips again, whispering in a low, husky voice:

"My Mrs. Huo is so easy to fool, it seems I have to keep a close eye on you to prevent you from being kidnapped by bad people."

Su Muci's breath hitched slightly from his kiss. Hearing the word "deceive," she suddenly remembered the three years she had been deceived by Fu Hengzhi...

She looked up at him and asked, "Mr. Huo, besides... what happened in the drawer and the agreement, you're not hiding anything else from me, are you?"

Huo Zhan dropped his joking expression, raised three fingers, and said with sincere and fervent eyes, "I am absolutely loyal to you, and I have nothing to hide from you."

His vow was resounding, and the last trace of doubt in Su Muci's heart vanished. She took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and respond to his kiss again.

The temperature inside the carriage rose as the two kissed passionately, their lipstick, carefully applied by Su Muci, had already smudged, and a few ambiguous little hickeys had quietly appeared on her fair neck.

Just then—

"Bang!"

The car body jolted violently, accompanied by a muffled thud.

"Sir, I'm sorry, we were rear-ended by the car behind us."

The driver's nervous voice came from the front seat.

Su Muci subconsciously looked behind the car, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the license plate number.

As luck would have it, the white car that crashed into them belonged to her best friend, Huo Junjun!

She instantly realized that her lips were swollen and red, her lipstick was smudged, and there were marks on her neck. She was so embarrassed that she could hardly be seen in public. Like an ostrich, she buried herself in Huo Zhan's arms.

Muttering to herself, "Oh no, oh no, it's Junjun..."

Huo Zhan remained calm and composed: "I'll handle it."

He deftly and meticulously fastened the shirt buttons that had come undone during their kiss before pushing open the door and getting out of the car.

...

Outside the car, Huo Junjun watched as her beloved car kissed the rear of the black Maybach, painfully calculating how many handbags she would have to pay for the damages.

She looked up and saw that the person getting out of the car was none other than her imposing uncle, Huo Zhan!

She immediately scurried over, beaming, "Uncle! What a coincidence! It's your car! What a wonderful surprise..."

Huo Zhan looked at her expressionlessly, his voice cold: "Huo Junjun, I remember you've had your driver's license for three years?"

Huo Junjun's scalp tingled: "I was wrong, I was wrong! Uncle, I just... I just spaced out for a second, it really wasn't intentional!"

Huo Zhan glanced at the damage to the rear of the car and said in an unquestionable tone, "Repair cost: 200,000."

Huo Junjun's vision went black: "!!!"

Two hundred thousand!

This is truly a case of uncle and niece keeping clear accounts! She could almost see her beloved limited-edition handbag sprout wings and fly away...

She was just about to try and get a discount by being a little more coquettish when her gaze inadvertently swept over Huo Zhan's neck and she keenly caught a red mark!

That's clearly a lipstick mark!

Huo Junjun's eyes widened instantly, a meaningful expression appearing on her face. Her gaze involuntarily and inexplicably drifted towards the closed rear window of the Maybach...

There was a woman in her uncle's car!

Huo Junjun stood on tiptoe, trying to peek into the dark windows of the Maybach, wishing she had X-ray vision.

"Huo Junjun".

Huo Zhan stepped to the side, subtly blocking her view.

"Two hundred thousand, not a penny less, transferred to my account within 24 hours. And..."

He paused, his gaze darkening slightly, carrying a hint of dangerous warning, "Mind your own business, and don't let your eyes wander."

Huo Junjun felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze and instantly cowered, quickly shrinking back and repeatedly replying, "I know, I know, Uncle, I'll raise the money right away!"

As soon as Huo Zhan got back into the car and the Maybach drove away smoothly, Huo Junjun immediately became energized and quickly pulled out her phone.

She couldn't wait to send a message to her best friend, Su Muci:

【Holy crap!!! Mu Ci! I have some shocking news!!!】

I just accidentally rear-ended my uncle's car! Guess what?!

I saw a fresh red lipstick mark on my uncle's neck!

He definitely had a woman hidden in his car! Hidden so well, he wouldn't let me even peek!

I have no idea which woman is so capable that she managed to uproot my uncle's long-standing "iron tree" (a metaphor for a man who is considered unmarried and unattainable)!
