Huo Minzheng looked into her eyes, which were like a lake covered with moonlight, with ripples caused by the wind.

His thumb rubbed the corners of her lips. There were thin calluses on the pads of his fingers, which felt slightly prickly and itchy. Fu Yan subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but his hand followed.

She thought he was trying to avoid this answer again, so she lowered her head and was about to push him away.

Huo Minzheng's Adam's apple slipped, "I don't want the people below to take advantage of you because you make an exception, and I don't want you to be in front of me every day and affect my work."

Huo Minzheng's voice was extremely low, but every word hit Fu Yan's heart like a heavy weight.

It weighed heavily on her heart, as if she couldn't hold it anymore.

She subconsciously pushed Huo Mingzheng away, "It's time for me to go back to eat."

Huo Mingzheng hummed, but had no intention of letting her go. He asked her in a hoarse voice, "Don't you dare to face me?"

Fu Yan now finally understood what it meant to dig a hole for herself to fall into. She pretended to be calm and said, "I don't have the ability to ask you to make an exception and affect your work."

Huo Mingzheng is famous for his indiscriminate treatment. In the company, it is not uncommon for Huo Jingshu to be criticized in public when he makes mistakes. He only values ​​results at work, regardless of gender, and treats everyone equally.

On this point, the outside world spread it more harshly than Fu Hanlin.

That's why Huo's remains one of the top five domestic companies. It's not without reason.

"I know very well whether you have the ability or not."

It wasn't long before he came out. He let go of Fu Yan. Some things had to be said for a long time. He could explain them to her one by one and untie her heart knots one after another.

When Fu Yan turned around, he seemed to still be able to feel her soft lips on his fingertips. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her for a while, "Don't get too close to Huo Yuanshi. The floral fragrance on his body makes me... dislike."

Floral?

Fu Yan wanted to ask him if he was born in the year of dog, but then he remembered that Huo Mingzheng was indeed born in the year of dog.

She chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Huo Minzheng raised her chin, and his eyes seemed to be filled with smiles.

Fu Yan didn't dare to say that he was a real dog. He suppressed his smile and shook his head, "I'm in."

Quickly escaping from Huo Minzheng's sight, Fu Yan raised the corners of his mouth again and burst into laughter.

She touched her cheek with the back of her hand. It was so hot that she could guess that her face must be very red without looking in the mirror.

It would definitely not work if Huo Yuanshi and Huo Chengyao saw him when he went in like this.

She turned around and walked quickly to the public restroom, turned on the faucet, washed her hands, and pressed her palms dipped in cold water on her cheeks. The heat immediately dropped a lot.

At this moment, she saw Aji, who was supposed to be in the private room, appearing behind her through the mirror.

"Miss Yan Yan."

Fu Yan pressed his cheek and said, "Aji."

"Mr. Huo has seen you out for too long, let me take a look." Aji's eyes glanced over her extraordinarily red lips, his eyes dim.

Fu Yan put down his hand and pretended to wash his hands. He looked at his face in the mirror and saw that it was not as red as before. He pressed it with the back of his hand.

"I just answered the phone and made you run away and delay your meal."

"It's okay, Miss Yanyan." Aji smiled.

Fu Yan took a piece of paper to wipe away the water stains on her face. She was a little embarrassed, so she randomly picked a topic and asked with a smile: "Aji, why did you call me Miss Yan Yan?"

She seemed to remember a long time ago, when Aji came to Huo Mansion to take care of Huo Yuan's food and daily life, he didn't call her Miss Fu like others.

Instead, call her Miss Yan Yan.

Although she was also called Miss, Yan Yan seemed a little different and was closer than the others.

For so many years, no one except Aji had called her that.

Aji turned around and turned on the faucet to wash his hands, his back to Fu Yan.

He cleared his throat and said, "I wanted to call you something different from others, so that it would be easier for you to remember me. Later, when I heard Mr. Huo call you Yan Yan, I got used to it."

His voice was hoarse than that of ordinary men. Fu Yan once heard him say that it was caused by some damage to his vocal cords during his voice-changing period.

I don't know if it was her illusion, or maybe she was a little dizzy after being teased by Huo Minzheng before, but now when she heard the word 'rouge' coming out of Aji's mouth, it seemed to have a different meaning.

But she didn't take it to heart, "Let's go back and eat."

She glanced at it from the corner of her eye. Aji took a piece of paper to wipe his hands. He raised his right hand and inadvertently pulled his sleeve a little further up his forearm, exposing his wrist.

Fu Yan saw the bite marks on it at a glance, but because Aji quickly took the paper, she only glanced at it.

"Have you been vaccinated against rabies?" Fu Yan asked him.

Aji didn't know why, "Huh?"

Fu Yan pointed at his wrist, "Brother said that there is a sick dog in the kitchen of the villa, and it bites people randomly. You were bitten by it, right?"

Aji said in sudden realization, and pulled his cuffs to cover his wrists, "It's a wild dog I brought back from outside. I originally thought it would be good to tame it and raise it, but it turned out that he went crazy within a few days after returning. I was bitten, and Mr. Huo immediately arranged for a doctor to vaccinate me after hearing the news."

Fu Yan frowned, wild dogs outside?

"You should also send it to a pet hospital for a checkup before taking it back."

Aji smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. I'll have a better memory after the tooth is extracted."

Fu Yan just felt a little conflicted in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He and Aji walked towards the private room one after another.

Fu Yan wore high heels today. After walking too much, her feet were a little tired and her steps slowed down. She glanced at Aji beside her.

Although Aji was over [-] meters tall, because he was used to taking care of Huo Yuan, if he didn't pay special attention, his back would habitually be hunched. Fu Yan saw at a glance that there seemed to be a wound on the inside of his chin.

"Is your jaw hurt?"

Aji touched his chin and said embarrassedly: "When I was washing and shaving in the morning, I accidentally scratched it."

"You've been having a hard time lately."

Aji pondered for a second and smiled to himself, "I should be more careful, so I won't get hurt."

Pushing open the door of the private room, Huo Minzheng's instructions were still ringing in his ears. Fu Yan hesitated and pulled out the nearest chair.

Huo Yuanshi glanced at her and asked slowly, "Yan Yan, why are you sitting there?"

Fu Yan looked at the seat opposite, "Look at our big table. We are all sitting together. It seems too cramped. I can just sit here. You and uncle can talk more."

"It doesn't matter where you sit. It's fine where Xiaoyan sits." Huo Chengyao handed Huo Yuan some vegetables and put them in a bowl.

Huo Yuanshi didn't move his chopsticks and moved the chair she had been sitting on before. His voice was still clear and gentle, but his tone seemed a little unreasonable, "Sit here."
