ules when she first entered the door. Every year during the ancestral worship, the steward would recite the family rules, but she never listened. Over so many years, she had long since forgotten them....Caofang held his phone, not daring to look at Huo Mingzheng's face.

Before, when she called him, Mr. Huo was beside him. He thought that if Miss Fu made a personal call to Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo's mood would be better, but unexpectedly, it poured oil on the fire.

He was instantly filled with remorse.

Li Qin came in from outside, holding a fruit platter in her hands.

She offered Huo Mingzheng a slice of crystal pear, but he didn't take it. She glanced at Huo Mingzheng's left hand, his fingers were white from gripping tightly.

"What's wrong"

Cao Fang retreated a step sheepishly, Huo Mingzheng loosened his grip and tossed the phone on the table. His gaze fell on Li Qin's face, the darkness in his eyes gradually dissipating as he accepted the fruit she offered him.

Li Qin offered him another slice of kiwi fruit, and Huo Mingzheng also took it and ate it.

"Is it good" she asked him, smiling as she sat beside him.

"That'll do."

Li Qin was in a good mood and picked another piece of crystal pear to give him, "Drink more water."

She leaned against his left arm, "A-Zheng, can we transfer to a different hospital tomorrow If you don't want to return to the Huo residence for recuperation, then let's go back to our Jinling mansion. I can take better care of you there."

Huo Mingzheng froze, his hand holding the fruit fork stilling for a moment, his thin lips pressing together in a tight line, his eyes unreadable. "Good."

Cao Fang was taken aback, he raised his eyes for a glance and then quickly lowered his head.

"Azheng."

Li Qin looked at his handsome face so close to hers, pursed her lips, and slowly leaned in.

Just then, Cao Yuan knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Huo, the second young master of the Ji family is here to visit, do you want to see him"

> Season's Greetings.

Li Qin was interrupted, her face showing displeasure, but it vanished in an instant. She turned and said, "Azheng said that he doesn't see visitors during his hospitalization. Just refuse him."

Cao Yuan nodded, and was about to go out to reply.

"Wait a moment," Huo Mingzheng said. "Let him in."

Li Qin was puzzled: "A-Zheng"

Actually, Ji Lin was right outside the door. After all, he was an athlete, and his hands and feet were the most important. Cao Yuan didn't dare to really stop him. Ji Lin was also much more cunning than him, and in a blink of an eye, he was forced to the doorway by him. Cao Yuan had no way to deal with him.

Hearing Huo Mingzheng's words, he let out a snort of laughter and pushed open the door and walked in, "Miss Li is quite imposing, isn't she Before even crossing the threshold, she's already acting like the mistress of the house"

He refused him.

Tsk!

What the heck!

Ji Lin despised Li Qin's pretentious and hypocritical nature the most. Wasn't she just showing off her tea skills everywhere because she had Huo Mingzheng backing her up

Some people's voices arrive before their faces even appear. This arrogant demeanor, it couldn't be anyone else but Ji Lin.

Li Qin said calmly, "I'm just conveying what Azi meant. Second Master Ji has misunderstood."

"Relaying what" Ji Lin chuckled, feigning to rub his ears. "Did I hear that right Heroically rescuing his beloved Huo Zong isn't supposed to leave him with a wounded shoulder, is he suddenly mute and needs you to relay everything for him"

Knowing that Ji Lin was deliberately making trouble, Li Qin didn't argue with him, lest she sully her own reputation.

Ji Lin intentionally provoked her, "Didn't the Li family teach you the three obediences and four virtues Men speak, women listen. You better step aside so that the Huo family won't have another reason to prevent you from entering their door."

"Ji Lin." Huo Mingzheng said two words lightly.

The warning was obvious. the window, and each small bed was a pale blue with railings around it to prevent children from rolling out while they slept.The headmaster explained: "This is the room for younger children. There ar...
