Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Miss Fu is going on a blind date again.

Office of the President of Fu Group.

Secretary Sun knocked on the office door with an urgent document.

"Come in."

A man's deep and sincere voice came from inside the door.

After opening the door and entering, Secretary Sun glanced at the man wearing rimless glasses, handling official business behind the desk.

He lowered his eyes, his brows were clear and elegant, yet he also revealed the intimidation of a superior.

Secretary Sun has been working under him since he started his own company without taking advantage of his family's connections. In these nearly nine years, under his influence, he has developed the ability to keep his emotions hidden.

She walked over and placed the document on his right hand side. "Mr. Fu, this is an expedited document from Xincheng. I need your review."

"Ah."

Fu Hanlin responded calmly, signing on the paper with the hand holding the pen.

When Secretary Sun went out, the office door was half open.

The office was so quiet that the only sound was the slight scratching of the pen on the paper.

Even if the voices outside were deliberately lowered, Fu Hanlin could still hear them.

"Huo Mingzheng's wife Fu Yan went to the hospital to give birth."

"You dare to eat this melon?"

"I can't help it. I'm a fan of the CP of Fu Huo Xiang Yi. I started supporting them last year. Unfortunately, Huo Mingzheng is too low-key and there's not much material about him. I can only find gossip on my own."

The moment Secretary Sun closed the door——

"It's a baby boy."

"During work hours, please talk less gossip."

Secretary Su spoke up to stop them.

She was Fu Hanlin's special assistant and the official secretary brought up by Xincheng. She had the most say in the secretariat. When several people heard this, they returned to their posts.

Secretary Sun glanced at the door of the president's office with complicated eyes.

After a while, the landline next to her rang.

She saw that it was an internal call and quickly picked up the phone, "Mr. Fu."

"Notify them to work overtime tonight."

……

Late at night, Fu Hanlin got in the car.

The driver started the car as usual and drove towards the Fu family's old house.

Since the old man passed away, Fu Hanlin has lived in the old house for the longest time.

After the car drove away from the company, Fu Hanlin unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt. A trace of warm air poured into his collar, and he pinched his brows.

The words I heard in the afternoon flashed back in my mind.

Fu Yan gave birth to a child.

Ever since he and Fu Yan experienced the fire last year and Huo Mingzheng risked his life to save them, and he talked it out with Fu Yan, he never took the initiative to pay attention to Fu Yan's life again.

Not disturbing and not paying attention to him is the greatest respect for Fu Yan, Huo Mingzheng and himself.

Fu Hanlin put away his thoughts and stopped thinking about that matter.

The cell phone rang. It was Fu Jing calling.

"Cousin, are you done with overtime? Come out and have a drink."

……

Fu Jing went abroad for further studies for a year and just returned to China last month. He is now working as the director of the planning department at Fu Group.

Fu Hanlin's car was parked outside a bar.

He just took out his cell phone to call Fu Jing when he caught a glimpse of a figure on the side of the road.

Pausing for a moment, Fu Hanlin turned around and told the driver, "Go find Fu Jing inside and send him home."

The driver hurriedly got out of the car and looked in the direction Fu Hanlin left, only to see him walking up to a girl squatting in the corner and making a phone call.

But he quickly looked away.

He shouldn't look at things he shouldn't look at.

"Didn't we break up a long time ago? Don't call me anymore!"

The girl's firm voice flowed into Fu Hanlin's ears along with the hot breeze of the summer night.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hua Yan! Have you been cheating on me behind my back for a long time?"

The cursing voice of the man on the other end of the phone seemed to penetrate the phone. Hua Yan's face turned ugly, and the corners of her eyes turned slightly red.

The moment the man called her a bitch, she couldn't stand it and hung up the phone immediately, quickly blocked the number, turned off her phone, and buried her head in her knees.

The long black hair cascades down from the shoulders to the arms, like a curtain of silk, smooth and moist.

Some images flashed through Fu Hanlin's mind, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

The girl gathered herself together, grabbed her phone and stood up.

Suddenly she saw a person standing in front of her, but because the light was not bright enough and the person was standing with his back to the light, she did not recognize him at first.

Subconsciously took a step back.

I also walked into the dim light and then I recognized the person in front of me.

"Fu, Mr. Fu." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Hua Yan's face. She was not sure whether Fu Hanlin heard her talking on the phone.

Fu Hanlin hummed lightly.

The man just stood there, but he had the natural aura of a superior who pressed down on him.

And because the man opposite her was much older than her, the age difference and status gap both reminded her of the disparity between them.

Hua Yan held her phone tightly against the edge of her skirt, with her eyes lowered.

Fu Hanlin glanced at her fingers that had turned white from holding them too tightly, and said in a lighter tone, "Why are you here?"

"I'm playing with friends nearby." Hua Yan lied.

There are many high-consumption places around here. Hua Yan is just an ordinary student who just graduated. She can't afford it at all.

However, Fu Hanlin did not expose her. He just picked up her work ID card on the ground and handed it to her.

"Thank you."

Hua Yan stretched out her hand, but her fingertips accidentally brushed the thin calluses on the man's fingertips.

The memories that she tried so hard to forget were madly resurrecting in her mind. She lowered her head, and her thin bangs hid the expression in her eyes.

Fu Hanlin hummed, turned and left.

Looking at his departing back, Hua Yan suddenly remembered something and chased after him, "Mr. Fu!"

Fu Hanlin turned slightly, and the girl's white skirt was lifted by the wind.

She ran up to him, took something out of her bag and handed it to him, "Mr. Fu, I have found a house to live in. I have been wanting to return the key to you for a long time, but I have never found a suitable opportunity."

She originally planned to send it to him by intra-city express.

But I also feel that this is too rude.

After so long, I finally got to meet him in person.

Fu Hanlin looked at the key handed to him but did not immediately reach out to take it.

Instead, he said indifferently: "It was agreed that this was compensation for you."

Hua Yan bit her lower lip and shook her head, "You didn't mean it. I said I don't want compensation."

She looked at Fu Hanlin boldly, "Isn't it best to forget?"

There were vehicles coming and going on the street, but there were not many pedestrians at this time, especially in this corner, where no one passed by.

Fu Hanlin listened to the girl's calm and firm words, but still had no intention of taking the key.

"It's up to you to decide whether to stay or not."

"Mr. Fu..."

"You said it's best to forget it, and that doesn't conflict with my compensation to you."

"I'll compensate you, and you can still forget what happened before."

Hua Yan didn't know if she was confused by her ex-boyfriend's words tonight, but she blurted out the words the moment Fu Hanlin finished speaking.

"What about you?"

Fu Hanlin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the girl in front of him who blushed the moment she realized what was happening.

Hua Yan was still trying to make amends, "I mean... I mean why are you here?"

Fu Hanlin's eyes swept across her long hair that was blown by the wind. The ears that were originally hidden among the hair were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.
