She insisted on staying here, even though she might never see Zeze again.
Zeze will eventually become the victim of the stalemate between Huo Beichen and her.
She made up her mind instantly and looked up at Sun Xiaowei: "Miss Sun, please tell Huo Beichen that I will be leaving within three days."
Sun Xiaowei called out to her, "Where are you planning to go?"
She quickly realized that Sun Xiaowei wouldn't care where she went; Sun Xiaowei only cared whether Huo Beichen would find her again and whether they would get entangled.
"Miss Sun, where do you think I should go?" she asked.
“If you trust me, I’ll make the arrangements,” Sun Xiaowei said with a slight smile.
And so, Sheng Nanyin left, departing without a sound.
She refused to believe that Huo Beichen didn't know all of this!
Suppressing her anger, she continued, "And then what? Didn't you hear from her at all?"
Huo Beichen shook his head, "I've had people investigate for a long time, and finally got some information..."
"Didn't you go to see her?" she pressed.
"She left so resolutely back then, probably because she didn't want to be disturbed by me, so I didn't bother her," Huo Beichen replied.
"But when I tried to look for her again, I found that she was gone again."
Hua Fei watched him quietly and continued weaving.
“But I only recently learned for certain,” Huo Beichen’s expression suddenly twisted with pain, “that she suffered immense pain and torment over there, and I seriously doubt whether it was a mistake for me to ignore her…”
"Oh?" Hua Fei raised an eyebrow coldly: "If you had known back then, how would the outcome have been different?"
"I won't let her suffer." Huo Beichen shouted these words almost excitedly.
"But haven't you tormented her enough?!" Hua Fei couldn't hold back and yelled at him.
Huo Beichen stared at her blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up: "You are her, you are her!"
"I am Huafei..."
Before she could finish speaking, his soft lips were already captured.
He seemed to want to prove something, demanding things without restraint... The deeper he went, the stronger the long-lost yet familiar feeling became...
She tried to push him away, but deep-seated memories were awakened...
She was about to lose control when she suddenly felt the warmth of his palm linger on her lower abdomen.
His rough fingertips touched the wound on his lower abdomen, hesitant and surprised.
"you……"
Hua Fei suddenly snapped out of her daze, pulled away from his embrace, and quickly straightened her clothes. "You scared me," she scolded him without any politeness.
Huo Beichen had a question on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
“Huo Beichen,” Hua Fei said, “Given our current relationship, I understand your need, but you can’t treat me as a substitute for someone else.”
"Let's talk about this when you can see me as Huafei."
She composed herself and sat back down at the table.
Huo Beichen remained silent, and soon his emotions calmed down.
On the way back, Hua Fei continued, "What did you find out? What kind of torture did Sheng Nanyin suffer?"
As Huo Beichen drove, he answered, "She was practicing medicine over there when she had a medical accident and was sent to prison."
"But she didn't stay in prison for long before leaving, and we can't find out where she went after that."
Hua Fei nodded. "I understand. I'll have someone inquire about it for you."
Huo Beichen gave her a deep look before replying, "Okay, thank you."
The car drove into the Huo family's garden.
Upon entering her home, Hua Fei habitually headed towards the treatment room on the first floor.
However, her hand was taken.
She turned her head in confusion, meeting Huo Beichen's eyes. "You should be living upstairs," he said.
“I…” Hua Fei was stunned.
"Dr. Hua, don't worry about Zeze, I'll take good care of him." A-Yue appeared just in time, interrupting what she was about to say.
Hua Fei blushed and lowered her eyes.
Huo Beichen's eyes flickered slightly. In his memory, Sheng Nanyin always bowed her head like this.
The person in front of me looks exactly like her, except for her face.
Hua Fei followed Huo Beichen to his bedroom, and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"You have two rooms. Should I sleep on the sofa outside, or on the bed inside?" she asked.
"I've already said, unless you stop treating me as a substitute for Sheng Nanyin, let's talk about marital obligations again." She spoke first, silencing him.
Huo Beichen chuckled self-deprecatingly, "You make it sound like I'm desperate for women."
He took off his coat and went into the bathroom in the back room.
Hua Fei sat down, let out a deep breath, and looked down at the sofa not far away.
A thought suddenly crossed my mind.
Since we're here, we certainly can't leave empty-handed.
A short while later, Huo Beichen came out of the bathroom.
Hearing the noise, she immediately stood up, her gaze involuntarily momentarily fixed on the spot.
He wore an open-front bathrobe, revealing his muscular physique. His skin was still damp, giving him a faint glow...
Some memories are like water released from a dam; once they gush out, they are hard to contain.
Fortunately, she retained her rationality and managed to avert her gaze.
Huo Beichen smiled and said, "You don't need to be nervous. I'll be working in the study until very late."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Hua Fei wasn't nervous; she just couldn't afford to reveal any flaws since her goal wasn't yet achieved.
She washed up, changed into her pajamas, and then came to the treatment room.
"How's Mr. Huo's company doing?" A-Yue and Ze-Ze were both waiting for the results.
"It's alright, nothing serious happened." Hua Fei briefly recounted what had happened at the company.
A-Yue suddenly realized: "No wonder President Huo always seemed so confident; he had already planned this all along."
"Dr. Hua, do you think President Huo helped you, or was he just using this as an excuse?" A-Yue asked.
"I think so," Hua Fei replied.
“My dad is very powerful. The Sun family tried to blackmail him before, but they didn’t succeed,” Zeze said, a hint of pride on his little face.
He still idolizes his father.
Hua Fei smiled and said, "Zeze is much better today. It's getting late, go to sleep."
Zeze agreed and soon fell asleep.
Hua Fei and A Yue then came to the small garden to talk.
"Has he really fallen out with the Sun family?" A-Yue asked in a low voice, which was quite unexpected. "What good would it do him to do this? Is it just to gain your trust?"
Hua Fei shook her head; she couldn't guess, and didn't want to guess.
“I’ve already wasted too much time, and today I want to take the initiative.”
"What do you want to do?" A-Yue asked.
Hua Fei leaned closer to her and whispered something in her ear.
A-Yue became increasingly surprised as she listened, and couldn't help but worry: "Isn't what you're doing too risky?"
Adventure is inevitable.
However, the longer the delay, the greater the risk.
Seeing that she was determined, A-Yue nodded: "Okay, go ahead and do it. I'll take care of things outside."
Late at night, the moonlight was like water, and the villa was completely silent.
Huo Beichen walked into the bedroom and saw a familiar figure lying on the sofa.
